TO PERSONS WISHING TO EMIGRATE.

A. PROPRIETOR of a LARGE SEC-
TION of LAND in VICTORIA PROVINCE,
CENTRAL AMERICA (and whose intention is to proceed
there as soon as a sufficient number of Emigrants are obtained
to enable him to charter a ship) is desirous of forming a small
community of respectable farmers and mechanics (good neigh-
bours being the principle desideratum in that beautiful
country.) Any person possessing 1011. has now the oppor-
tunity of making himself comfortable for life, as the price of
land is only 6s. per acre, in lots of not less than 100 acres.
The Laiid-scrips being transferable, any person wishing to
exchange Goods suitable for exportation ( for land) can be accom-
modated. He offers himself also as agent to merchants wishing
to consign goods to the colony, and to take possession of lands
for persons not yet ready to go.
The early settler has many advantages in this country—first
ha has the choice of locating himself in the best parts of the
colony—secondly, as soon as the country ge's known, the price
of the land will be considerably higher, and the best situations
will then perhaps have been taken by speculators who will have
their own price for it.
For Maps and further Particulars apply, if by letter pre-paid,
to Mr. Shaw, 20, Throgmorton-street, London.

In this case the bankrupt, who is described as a tea-
merchant, if Arms-yard, and is I..tioooti to have
deeply speculated in teas, has absconded from his ere-
ditoN, and the sitting to-day was for the auditing. of the
accounts and the declaration of a dividend, which de-
claration was not, however, made, as the funds at pre-
sent in hand are not sufficient to divide among those who
have proved debts.
Among the proofs was one, the subject of which was
brought before the Court by ➢lr. Bowley, the party in-
terested, in person. It appears that he had a great num-
ber of transactions with the bankrupt in respect to tea
speculations, and had a running account, the settle-
ment of which would, it was admitted, show, no doubt,
some balance proveable against the estate. In this
case arose a point upon which the official assignee
wished the decisiode the Court, as did also Mr. Bowley,
before the accounts were gone into, The affair was this—
Bowley purchased on account of Hetherington a number
of chests of tea, which were to be delivered on a certain
day, but in the meantime Hetherington absconded.
Bowley, then having no opinion of the stability of the
market, and fearing that if he 'did not sell he would in-
cur a great loss, sold the teas a few days before the con-
tract expired, at a depreciation compared with the con-
tract price, charging the bankrupt's account with the
loss. A day or two before the contract expired the
market rallied, anti so brisk was business, that prices
again suddenly advanced, and considerably above the
contract price. The assignees claimed to take this profit
as -a set-off against Mr. Bowley's accounts, instead of
i3l44oe,iDgAbe_ transaction with a loss. • -
Mr. Commissioner EVAYS said, whatever might have
been Mr. Bowley's opinion, he had no legal right to sell
before the expiration of the contract, or at least without
the. consent of the creditors. However 'unfortunate it,
might be for Mr. Bowley, and it appeared to be so, con-
sidering his position, the law was such, and he must
abide the result.

In answer to a question from the Court, it was state(
that it was not likely that Hetherington would ever sur
render.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS'
_COURT, Oct. 5.

LADY HYDE PARKER'S CASE.
The Insolvent, who has been already frequently before
the Court, applied to be discharged. The present debts
amounted to 1,6001.
Mr. Cresswell opposed her application, on behalf of
a creditor of the name of Clifford (a butcher), on the
ground of her having vexatiously defended an action on
a Bill of Exchange, in which a verdict was twice given
against her. On the first trial she denied her signature
to the bill, which she afterwards admitted.
Mr. Cooke (who, with Mr. Woodroffe, supported the
petition) said that the insolvent had moved in a superior
sphere in life, being the wife of an Admiral, who, when
he died, left- her a handsome house in Cumberland-place,
well furnished, and a retinue of servants, with a splen-
did fortune of 33,000/., which she had lost by being
security for others. Her family were of the first respect-
ability, and he hoped the Court would not feel it a case
to visit her with imprisonment when the case was ripe
for adjudication, which it was not at present, there being
a creditor to serve.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said no judgment
could be pronounced at present, on account or this de-
fect, but added, he might at once say what his impres-
sion was of this case. He lamented deeply that lie
should be obliged to give an adverse judgment, espe-
cially as the insolvent was a female, a lady by title, but
he sat there to administer justice between all her Majes-
ty's subjects, be they rich or poor, and to see that the
scales were equally poised. Without giving his opinion
at present respecting the defence to the action brought
by Mr. Clifford, he would say that enough had Lawn
shown on the face of the schedule to remand the insol-
vent for some time when she appeared for judgment.
Her Lad) ship was conducted in a carriage to the
Queen's Bench Prison, in company with the officers of
Justice.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Sir P. LAURIE said that he had, in looking over the
communications to the Lord Mayor, laid his hand upon
a letter, which he was given to understand contained a
true detail of melancholy facts, without any flourish to
excite the sympathies of the public. He thought there
might be some who knew the writer in the days of his
prosperity, and would feel pleasure in rendering him
some assistance in his present adverse condition.
The letter was as follows :
".may rlease your Lordship—=Allow me, in -the
most respectful manner, to request your Lordship's at-
tention to the following detaii, the principal recommen-
dation to your Lordship's favourable reception of which
is truth.
"In the year 1804 I rented certain premises, No. 56,
Wood-street, Cheapside, of Messrs. Samuel and John
Painter, of Coleman-street, at the yearly rent of 801. and
also paid 380/ fd`the lease of the premises.
"In the autumn of that year I consigned goods to
Messrs. Kilpatrick and Brothers, of Haniburgh, to the
amount of 8,6004, the whole of which was taken pos-
session of by Marshal l)avoust, when he entered Ham-
burgh by the orders of Bonaparte, and confiscated the
property of all the English merchants trading to that city.
" Thu consequence was that myself and a number
of other individuals were ruined. I became a bankrupt,
and have never yet been able to retrieve so great a loss.
I have for a length of time endeavoured to support my-
self and family by the sale of various articles of haber-
dashery to the small shopkeepers in the metropolis and
its vicinity, but the state of trade has been so bad for a
great length of time that I have scarcely been able to
procure for my family even a scanty portion of the ne-
cessaries of life.
" The most melancholy part of my narrative is, that
my wife, in consequence of her intense anxiety for the
welfare of her children, and a dread that they would be
driven to a state of absolute want, has been for three
years an inmate of a lunatic asylum at Bethnal-green,
and my four young children have been deprived of the
care and attention of a mother.
" The principal object in my addressing your Lordship
is most humbly to solicit your Lord‘zhip's humane inter-
ference with the Guardians and parish officers of St.
Alphage, where in my prosperity I gained a legal set-
tlement, to get one of my boys, who is a cripple, into
the school at Norwood, where he will not only be taken
care of, but I should be relieved from deep anxiety
from my present inability to procure him those comforts
of which he stands so much in need. Two others of my
boys rmight be able to procure situations for, or bind
apprentice to some trade, providing I could procure a little
decent clothing for them, which they are at present so
deplorably in want of.
" The gentlemen who have kindly consented to affix
their signatures underneath, are intimately acquainted
with the truth of the above statement.
" I beg to subscribe myself, your Lordship's most
obedient and humble servant,
" JAMES THOMPSON IRVINE.
" Hall, English, and Gutch, 50, King William-street,
London-bridge.
" Brooks and Wightwick, 106, Ifigh 'k, Southwark."
Sir P. LAURIE trusted, at all events, that the Guar-
dians and parochial officers of St. Alphage would render
the modicum of assistance required of them fur the poor
child, particularly as the father was doing all he could
to avoid the alternative of the workhouse as a refuge for
his family.

CROYDON POLICE.
A man named George Barber, a labourer at Warlily...
ham, was yesterday brought before Messrs. Adams
and
Sutherland charged with trespassing upon the Brighton
Railway, and from the evidence adduced it appeared to
be almost a miracle that the prisoner had not only lost
his own life, but that another serious accident did not
take place.
• From the statement of the witnesses it appeared that
on, Monday evening about dusk a down train was pro-
ceeding along the line at Purley, when the engineer ob-
served the defendant lying completely across the oppo-
site line of rails. At this time an up train was ex-
pected momentarily to arrive at the spot, and the down
train slackened the speed and proceeded to meet the
other, to which it reported the circumstance, and the
train went at a slow pace till it arrived at the spot
where the defendant was still lying across the rails,
and it was found necessary to stop it, and the
guard and some other persons got down and
dragged the defendant off the lino, and placed hint
in one of the carriages, and, on its arrival at the station,
he was given into custody. At this time the defendant ap-
peared to be very drunk, and he had not any idea of the
danger he had escaped ; but had the up-train arrived
before the other at the spot where he was lying, he
must, frOM the position in which he had placed himself,
completely across the rails, have been crushed to atoms.
Mr. ADAMS, when the above facts had been deposed
to, asked the defendant what answer he had to make to
the charge ? lie replied, that he had been to Croydon
Fair, and had got very drunk, and he could not tell how
he came to be upon the railway.
The MAGISTaITES said that the accidents that had
already taken place on railways were quite sufficiently
alarming, without having them increased by such gross
misconduct and negligence as that of which the defend-
ant had been guilty, and they felt it to be their duty to
the public to pass such a sentence as would deter others
from acting in a similar manner. They then ordered
the defendant to pay a fine of five pounds, or to be im-
prisoned for two months.

LONGEVITY.—There is now living at White-
parish, near this city, a woman named Heath, who has
attained the age of 106 years. She is in good health,
and retains her faculties. Her daughter has lately been
on a visit to see her ; the two number nearly 200 years,
the daughter being •considerably more than 80 years of
age. The elder dame is comfortably provided for by the
lady of a Magistrate in the parish, and expresses her
gratitude in warm terms for being enabled to live out of
the Union, of which she has great horror ; as her own.
words plainly but emphatically prove—" I would rather
lie down and die out of door, than go into one of them
Unions."—Salisbury Herald.

ADDRESSES TO THE. QUEEN.
TO THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Fellow-Con n t ryirien—The recent uncontradicted state-
ment of the Duke of Richmond, that he was Cabinet-
maker in Ordinary to the Queen—that the House of
Commons was hut the upper servants' second table of
the Peerage—that what are facetiously called the Repro-
sentatives of the people are only the Duke of Bucking-
hales "gentlemen's gentlemen," and that the glorious
majority of ninety-one" are the mere nominees of the
aristo,Tacy—has induced you to "fly from petty tyrants
to the Throne." Remembcting that when the factionwhich now holds the reins of -government was formerly
in office it systematically suppressed at the Home-office
all addresses from the people to the Monarch which com-
plained of its corruption ; you would not let " the ser-
pent sting thee twice," and most properly and reasonably
solicited those independent and patriotic noblemen,
the Earl of Radnor and Lord Kinnaird, to use their
privilege of Peerage as a direct means of laying before
her Majesty your petitions at a personal audience.
Thei- Lordships most promptly and cordially responded
to your call, and the result is embodied in the subjoined
correspondence. At the issue we have no reasonable
ground to be disappointed. So long as " her heart was
mistress of itself," her Majesty nobly stood by her sub-
jects. By our ov,vn supineness, and the corruption and
cowardice of the constituency, her Majesty has been
" delivered bound" into the hands ) your enemies, and
must passively obey the harsh voice of the wicked ma-
gician, until her people have the courage and the energy
to batter down the gates of his stronghold and emanci-'
pate her from the spell of his enchantment. It is by
the " persuasive force," which, in court language, is
, called " advice" of her Majesty's temporary advisers,
and on their exclusive responsibility, that a precedent
has been established for invading alike the preroga-
tive of the Monarch and the constitutional privilege
of the_ people of immediate mutual communication.
' The justification which has been atteriipted fur that
advice,. that it has been given to protect her Majesty
from inconvenience and annoyance, is only an aggrava-
tion of the original offence. It is less inconvenient for
her Majesty 'to see the Earl of Radnor or Lord Kin-
naird, than to be inflicted with the odious presence of
that " rat behind the .arras," who, in the capacity of
Home Secretary, charges himself with the duty of pre-
senting your petitions to the Queen ; and I am certain
that it is less annoying to her Majesty to receive the ad-
dresses of her people, than to he compelled to assist at
the adjustment of a speeCh in which she is made to say
what she cannot think. It is, however, a course nut less
constitutional than wise for her Majesty to deprive the
faction by which she is encompassed of all excuse fur
attributing their certain ultimate-discomfiture to any act
of the monarchy. During the short period they have-
been. already permitted to go at large, they have at-
tempted their own lives so often as to show that it is by
suicide they are ultimately to fall. It is by restraint
alone that their existence can be prolonged. Give them
rope enough, and—but the proverb is somewhat musty.
I remain, fellow countrymen,
Your faithful friend and servant,
SIDNEY SMITH.
CORRESPONDENCE.
No. 1.

" 23 A, Brook-street, Sept 29, 1841.
" Sir—l am quite ready to ask for an audience of her
Majesty, and shall have much pleasure in presenting
the addresses you mention, as I most cordially agree with
the prayer of them. I am now living in town, and tun at
home every morning till one o'clock.—Your obedient
servant, " KINNAIRD.
" Sidney Smith, Esq., Secretary to the Metropolitan
Anti-Corn-law Association.
No. 2.
"23 A, Brook-street, Saturday Night.
" Sir—l send you the enclosed, which I have just re-
ieived from the Lord in Waiting, in answer to my letter.
Though I regret her Majesty's determination, which, of
course, is come to by the advice of her Ministers, yet I
may mention that I am certain that all the petitions will
be laid before her Majesty by the Secretary of State.
Of the conduct of Ministers in proroguing Parliament at
this moment, it is impossible to speak in terms too se-
vere. It is, indeed, adding insult to injury, and most
awful is the responsibility which they incur. From my
own personal knowledge, I can state that they have been
warned by one who is no partizan, but has the best
means of knowing of the consequences which are to be
dreaded from the course they are taking.
" My belief, however is, that though we cannot. hope
that Sir Robert Peel will bring forward the repeal of the
present Corn-laws, yet he will be the means of their
being repealed. It is satisfactory to find, from all ac-
counts, that he has done more towards it by hiS conduct
in Parliament during the last three weeks than all the
previous agitation on the subject.
" The I)uke of Wellington's answer to Lord Radnor
and myself proVes how true is the saying, that one-half
the ..world does not knew .-hors-the- oales,hrelliires- or
rather starves.' ,

"I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
" KINNAIRD.

Anti-Corn-law Association."
No. 3.

" Windsor Castle, Oct. 2, 1841.
"My Lord—l have the honour to inform you, in reply
to your letter of the Ist instant, that it is her Majesty's
desire that the petition you wish to present may be
sent through the Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment. " I remain, my Lord, your obedient servant,
" To the Lord Kinnaird, &c." " BYRON."
No. 4.
" Grosvenor-street, Oct. 4, 1841.
Sm—With much reluctance, and after great hesita-
tion, I have been induced by certain circumstances *which
have come to my knowledge, to give up my intention ~f
asking for an audience of her Majesty, and of delivering
to her Majesty in person the petitions which you for-
warded to me. But I have myself delivered them, with
18 others, to Sir James Graham, the Secretary of State
for the Home Department ; and ho voluntarily under-
took to present them to the Queen before the final deter-
mination for the prorogation should take place ; to state
to her Majesty the prayer of them, together with the
number of signatures appended to each ; and, in those
cases where, having been voted at a public meeting,
they were signed only by the Chairman, to draw'her Ma-
jesty's attention to that particular. Under these circum-
stances, I trust the petitioners will not be disappointed
that I have thought it right not to persevere in request-
ing a perso.ial interview with her Majesty.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
" RADNOR.
" S. Smith, Esq., Secretary to the Metropolitan
Anti• horn-law Association."
Tho number of addresses petitioning the Queen not to
prorogue Parliament till the Corn-laws and distress
have been inquired into, as delivered by the Earl of
Radnor to Sir J. Graham, for presentation, anr,unted to
the number of 229, from our largest towns, boroughs,
and parishes.
