LANDS IN NEW ZEALAND.
THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the
NEW ZEALAND COMPANY hereby give notice
that the uniform price of Country Lands in the Company's
Settlements is about to be advanced to 25.. per Acre, but that
in consideration of the expectation entertained by numerous
intending Purchasers and Emigrants, that payment from them
would be received at the present rate of 20s. per Acre, it has
been deem
ed right to give some notice of the intention of the
Court. And notice is hereby given accordingly, that such
ADVANCE of PRICE will take place from and after the
Ist day of November next ; 75 per cent. of the purchase-
money being, as heretofore, exclusively devoted to Emigration,
with the usual allowance of 60 per cent. to buyers who be-
come actual settlers. By order of the Court,
JOHN WARD, Secretary.

Important and Salutary Improvements have been introduced
into Life Assurance practice by this Company.
The Policies aro Indisputable. All questions as to age,
health, h2bits' employment, residence, health of relatives, or
other matters deserving of inquiry prior to the Contract, are
held as finally settled when the Assured receives his Policy,
which is from its date a valid and unquestionable document of
future debt against the Company, whether it shall remain with
the Assured or be transferred to others.
One-half of the Premiums may remain Unpaid for Seven
Years, affording a greater facility and more economical plan
for Loan Transactions and Family Provisions than any other
which has been suggested—allowing a Policy to be dropped
at one-half of the usual sacrifice—and entitling the Assured
at a future period, when loss of health may prevent 'him
from obtaining a' New Assurance, to continue a Policy for
double the amount of the sum for which he has paid Premiums.
WIDOWS' FUND—The Company grant Jointures to Wi-
dows, calculated upon the data of Carlisle mortality.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.—The ex-
traordinary patronage with which this favourite beve-
rage has been honoured, since its introduction in 1829, by the
Nobility, the Medical Profession, and by all classes:of the com-
munity, affords, of itself, sufficient evidence of its unequalled
merits.
To this triumphant success must be attributed the fact, that
each succeeding year has witnessed the birth and death of some
new Brandy Establishment ; called into life and action by
jealousy of the success of the PATENT BRANDY; and
doomed to destruction as a necessary consequence of total
failure in all attempts at producing an article with the slightest
pretension to approach it in quality.
The Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St. John-
street, is the only Establishment of J. T.. Betts and Co., where
the Patent Brandy may be obtained, either pale or coloured, at
Eighteen Shillings per Gallon, far Cash on delivery.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, SRrr 8.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE GEORGE WHITEHEAD.
Mr. Columbine, who had been the attorney to the
bankrupt previous to the issue of the fiat, attended on
a summcns at the instance of the attorney for the as-
signees in this matter, to show cause why he refused to
deliver up certain documents now in his possession, be-
longing to the bankrupt.
Mr. LEWIN, who appeared on the part of the assig-
nees, said, that a great number of papers which bad come
into Mr. Columbine's hands, in his capacity of attorney
to the bankrupt, were required by the assignees. A
summons had
,been previously issued by Mr. Commis-
sioner Evans, but Mr. Columbine refused to deliver
them up without having a schedule made out of
the several documents. Now to do this would take
a clerk upwards of twelve or thirteen weeks, so
voluminous were they. Mr. Columbine alleged
that he had a hen on the papers himself, but
he (Mr. Lewin) hoped that if the Court considered
Mr. Columbine was acting vexatiously in the protec-
tion of his own interests, it would afford him no pro-
tection. There was one large box containing papers
relating to a person named Tarlton, which he would
beg the Commissioner would cause to be delivered
into the possession of the officer of the Court.
Mr. Columbine, in reply, stated that he had no wish
whatever to offer any vexatious opposition to the as-
signees. The facts were, he had a lien on the papers
for upwards 'of 1,0001.

After some further conversation, it was arranged
that the principal documents should be taken from the
bov, and the others sealed up.

POLICE. INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Palmer, the man who was brought before the Lord
Mayor some days ago, charged with having struck a
woman he called his wife, and detained, along with the
woman, upon suspicion of being a housebreaker, under-
went a third examination yesterday.
Inspector Maclean stated that a considerable portion
of the Thames near London-bridge had been dragged
for the two bundles which it will be recollected were
thrown over the bridge by a young man, who was ob-
served in company with the woman after Palmer's ap-
prehensi )11, and which doubtless contained skeleton
keys, but.the tide, it is believed, carried them away.
The LORD Mayon asked whether there were any
officers present who recollected the prisoner Palmer?
Two persons connected with the Metropolitan Police
stated that they believed the prisoner to be a person
who was, about six years ago, tried for a highway
robbery, and sentenced to be imprisoned two years
in Guildford gaol, but they could not swear to his
identity.
Palmer assured the Lord Mayor that he had been
out of the country ten years until a few weeks ago, and
that the only falsehood he told was that the woman
was his wife. He admitted that appearances were
against him, but he really was not what he appeared
to be.

Tile LORD MAYOR—You can, if you please, explain
about the two bundles which this woman induced the
young man to throw over London-bridge. I do not,
however, call upon )ou to do so.
Palmer was silent.

The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I shall discharge you
both ; but I advise you to mind what you are about.
The eyes of the police are now upon you, and it will not
be forgotten that in your lodgings were found a number
of skeleton-keys, and other housebreaking implements.
Palmer—We shall both come at any time your Lord-
ship may think proper to send for us, and you may
depend upon it that we are not known as had cha-
racters, and we are not afraid to ba .examined any-
where. I was present at New York at the time of
the last great fire, and if there is here anybody who
witnessed it, I shall soon convince hint that I tell the
truth.
The prisoners were then dischArged.

Daniel Davis, who was examined several days ago
upon the charge of having uttered a forged bill of ex-
change, purporting to be drawn by Messrs. Hinchliffe
and Co., of Golden-square, paper-stainers, was brought
up for further examination. Mr. Charles Phillips ap-
peared for the prosecutor, Mr. Stephens, of Broad-
street, who cashed the bill, for the prisoner ; and Mr.
Hinchliffe, jun., was is attendance.

The Loan MAYOR asked whether Mr. Hinchliffe
had any other charge to bring forward against the pri-
soner ? Mr. Philiips answered in the negative.
The LORD MAYOR—Then I suppose all we have to
do now is to have the depositions of the witnesses taken,
and to commit the prisoner for trial. • .
A person here stepped into the witness box and said
that he was foreman of Mr. Godwin (formerly Bowen
and Godwin), of Macclesfield-street, paper-stainers, and
111 appeared in the Justice-room in the absence of his
employer, who was obliged to go into the country, for
the purpose of stating that a printed notice had been
sent to the house from Mr. Stephens' office, conveying
the information that a bill drawn by Bowen and Godwin,
for 30i., was due on the 26th of August, and requesting
payment.
The LORD MAYOR—Was the bill ever presented for
payment ? Witness—Never.
The LORD MAYOR—Does Mr. Godwin know any
thing about the bill ? Witness—Nothing at all.
Mr. Stephens—l have the bill in my possession. I
cashed it for the prisoner.
The LORD MAYOR—Upon the strength of the re-
spectability of the names ? Mr. Stephens—Certainly.
The. house is very respectable, and in the same business
as Messrs. Hinchliffe.

The prisoner's Attorney—Did Mr. Godwin authorise
you to corhe here and make this statement ? W itness—
He did.

The prisoner was then remanded till Saturday,
which day the Lord Mayor appointed for the unfortu-
nate man's final examination and committal to Newgate
fo; trial.

Ann Duffy, the mother of the two infant children,
who were found by themselves in a room in a place
called the Warren, in Angel-alley, was brought up by
the relieving officer.
The woman, it appeared, had left the children for the
purpose of going to the father of the youngest for some
money for their support, but instead of getting assist-
tance she was so cruelly beaten by the father that she
was obliged to go to an hospital. She calculated that
theLorwould in some way or other protect the children,
and she accordingly left them to that powerful aid.
The LORD MAYOR—This woman is not able to work
for the children now. What do you intend to do with
them ? Officer—lt is hard to say what is to be done,
my Lord. 'rhe case is a casual Irish case.
The Woman—l always supported my children, and
never would accept of assistance from the parish ; but
I have lost the use of my arm now, and can do nothing,
and your law won't catch hold of the father of the
youngest child.
The LORD MAYOR—Where is. the father of the
eldest
to
do for? The
whateverWoman—Hechildirsen I deadge;t butif I I
have only

able
the use of my limbs.
It was stated that the woman had been chargeable
to the parish, but no proof to that effect was adduced.
The Woman—lt is false to say I was chargeable. I
defy the parish to prove that I ever got the value of a
farthing from it.
Mr. Smart, the Vestry Clerk, said that the only way
of disposing of Irish casuals was to send them to
Ireland as soon as possible, where, as there were poor-
laws established, they could be legally provided for.
The Woman—Why should'nt the father of the
youngest child provide for it ? Here am I disabled by
him from doing anything for the poor baby, and he is
not to be called upon to give it bread. An't it shock-
ing ? Your parish must support us all now,
The LORD MAYOR—Where is the man ? The Wo-
man—God knows where he is now. I ,
got a warrant
against him, but he keeps out ofs the
way ; and what's
a poor woman to do, when she's obliged to be father
and mother both?
Mr. Smart said the woman and her children should
be taken care of until she should be able to resume her
labour ; but it was quite impossible that the casual
Irish could be kept living upon the inhabitants.
Mr. Hobler said that Mr. Gill, the pass-master, had
paid 241. or 251. on Saturday last, for Passing casual
Irish paupers to Ireland, and that the evil was becom-
ing quite intolerable.

of the weather, and the alterations of the season, have
been most sudden and unequal. Variations of this nature
arc, of necessity, extremely trying to the constitution ; and
there is no part more exposed to their effects than the skin
—that delicate and finely-formed portion of our frame ;
the sudden transitions from heat to cold, from moist to
dry, &c. being calculated, in a most inconvenient degree,
to produce those freckles,
marks, and eruptions, which are
so hostile and injurious to beauty. The fortunate disco..
very of Rowland's Kalydor, and the ample proof of its
virtues afforded by long experience, evince that it is admi-
rably adapted to beautify and preserve the skin fresh and
unimpaircd—amid the most trying vicissitudes of the
season and the weather.

EXPRESS FROM INDIA.

NEWS FROM CHINA, INDIA, AND

EGYPT.

(From the Second Edition of The Sun of last night.)
By an extraordinary express we have received intelli-
eence from China, India, and Egypt, in anticipation of
the overland mail, which left Bombay on the 23d of July
by the Prometheus, which left Malta on Tuesday at fifty
minutes past three o'clock, Ist of September, and arrived
at Toulon on Friday afternoon at tea minutes past four
o'clock, 4th init. The Prometheus put into Toulon, in
order to land Mr. Moore, Queen's Messenger, with im-
portant despatches, not being able to make Marseilles, it
blowing a tremendous gale from the north-west.

Tho-Ftench authorities at Toulon wished to take the
Marseilles mail, thus putting themselves in possession of
all the eastern intelligence. Commander Spark very
wisely resisted, and forbad any of his people to tell any
news.

The first part of the expedition against China sailed on
the 30th of May, and the remainder on the 2d. June,
conveyed by the Wellesley, Cruiser, Algerinc, Conway,
and Atalanta and Queen steamers. The Melville, Blond,
and two sloops of war passed the Straits of Anjeer on the
10th of June, for China. Admiral Elliott must have ar-
rived there. Additional transports had been taken up at
Calcutta, and fresh troops were to be embarked at Madras
for China.

The English merchants still remain at Macao. The
Americans were preparing to quit Canton. Mr. Snow,
the American Consul, bad arrived thence at Singapore.
A report prevailed that the Emperor had at length been
convinced of Governor Lin's mismanagement, and
had degraded him by three degrees.
The Russians had not reached Khiva.

The Ghilzies were still in revolt, and it was feared
that a new rebellion would take place in Nepaul. Sehah
Sonja was so unpopular that it had become necessary to
reinforce our army in Cabul.
Five companies of infantry and some artillery had left
Bon bay for Aden.
The Dutch were at war with the Achines.

By this express we have Alexandria- letters of the
27th ult., and Malta correspondence of the Ist inst.
The Pacha remained inflexible in his determination to
resist.

Wo have also received letters from Beyrout, which,
with Commodore Napier's proclamation, will be found
below.

The tone of the Paris Ministerial Papers of yesterday is
warlike, and caused much apprehension.
The revolt of the workmen was assuming an alarming
appearance. The drums were beating "to arms" all the
afternoon. Attempts to raise barricades had been made,
and defeated. Great fears were entertained for the night.
