This Company is formed in strict connexion with the New
Zealand Company of London ; of whom it is intended to make
purchases of land, to be re-sold to capitalists, or to be leased
to farmers, who may be disposed to emigrate and form a settle-
ment, to be termed " The Plymouth Colony of New Zealand."
The lands purchased of the New Zealand Company will
constitute the New-Plymouth Settlement ; and will be espe-
cially selected by the Surveyor of the Plymouth Company,
under their instructions, from such part of the New Zealand
Company's possessions as may hold out the best prospectsfor the
commercial and general prosperity of the settlement. •
The New-Plymouth Settlement will comprise the lands
purchased of the New Zealand Company; and a quantity equal
to one-tenth of the whole to be added by them, for gratuitous
distribution among the native families surrounding the Settle-
ment ; thus presenting the aborigines with an inducement to
embrace a civilized life; and, in lieu of the waste they origi-
nally sold, investing them with a property rendered really
valuable by its admixture with that of industrious settlers.
Further information on every point connected with the Com-
pany may be obtained of the Secretary, to whom, to the Devon
and Cornwall Banking Company, or to Messrs. Wright and
Co., the London Bankers of the Company, application for
Shares may be made.

CONVICTION UNDER MALTIN'S ACT.-
Private information having been obtained by the Chesterfield
police that a dog-fight was to take place a: or near Chesterfield
on Monday last, the constables kept on the alert during the
morning, which vigilance compelled the " dog-fanciers" to
adjourn to the moors. The constables pursued them, dispersed
the assembled crowd, and took one of the ringleaders ( Wheat-
croft) into custody. He was taken before Gilbert Crompton
and E. G. Maynard, Esqrs., and fined tN. and 15s. expenses.
The owner of the other dog is missing. —Derby Chronicle.

THE GALLANT 45TH.—We are enabled to
state on good authority, that this brave regiment, which, it
was rumoured, would leave this town (Monmouth), on the
25th instant, will not do so for a much longer period. A
paragraph has appeared in several papers, stating that the corps
of the 45th now stationed here, was abort to be made Light
Infantry, as a reward for its services in this and other parts of
Wales. We are informed that such is not the cause of this
distinction being about to be bestowed, bst in consideration of
its gallant and diAinguished services during the Peninsular
War, in which no regiment, it is said, b)re a more prominent
part. The regiment is daily making rapid progress in its drill,
under the able superintence of its new Adjutant, Ensign Smith.

HAND-LOOM WEAVERS.--The Tories arid
Whigs have totally overlooked ono great ,!ause of the dissatis-
faction in this neighbourhood, which ended in a Chartist out-
break... The great prevalence of want among the hand-loom
weavers was the principal cause of their joining in such num-
bers the physical-force men. A gentleman from the neigh-
bourhood of Denholme assures us that the best hand-loom
weavers cannot earn more than 3s. or 3;. 6d. a week. The
difference between hand and power-loom weaving is not more,
in many instances, than 3d. This state 4f things cannot stand
long. The present state of distress among manufacturers
would be a just retribution, did it not affect the hand-loom
weavers also, for the former have lost lo opportunity of de-
grading the hand-loom weavers by grinding down their wages.
