1/1 ,1 e George and Vulture Tavern, in the City of London, on
?fr.ondasiSdaetrhiengath day of April, 1841, convened for the urpose
the " CONDITIONS" recently promulgated
!flhe Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners, touch-
;l,l the future conduct of Bounty Emigration, and to decide on
touch-
;l,l necessary in order to obtain their annulment,
lue thereby avert the alarming injury they are calculated to
)4tlee as respects the future supply of labour to New South
airs,
it ARLES BARRY BALDWIN, Esq., M.P., in the Chair,
was moved by STUART Does% aosoN, Esq., seconded by
CHARLES LEE, Esq., and .
Resolved unanimously,
the That
tk. latest accounts from New South Wales represent
demand for labour in that colony to be more pressing and
izleatthan at any former period ; wages had risen enormously,
44", w re exectd tbe stll higher ; the flock owners were
ibsoasle to obtains sheopherdsi at all approximating to the number
'wtely necessary for their proper care; great apprehen-
w„is were entertained that much of the forthcoming harvest,
f,'"elt promised to be very abundant, would perish in the fields
tZttwaallt of a sufficient supply of labour to reap and store it ;
all great interests of the colony were very seriously
a'eatleerrd from the alarming deficiency of labour. A Com-
leitatee-of the Legislative Council,of which the Bishop of A ustra-
iazt7aB Chairman, in their Report to the Council in :September
id usta_ te, that " Every department of industry is cramped;
et,,,t 0 undertaking, public or private, can be prosecuted ex-
at an immease expense, owing to the exorbitant rate of
,eargy!s, and the inconceivable difficulty in procuring workmen,
b,2°1,1 or mechanics, upon any terms whatever; there is no
r,s' of the colony in which it may riot be truly said that there
14'1, actual dearth of hands to carry on the ordinary business.
,107 instance of sheep farming, the distress arising from want
D4tu Pherds is almost incredibla. Thus a very fatal check is
tt,a42" the advancing prosperity of the Colony.
- moved by THOMAS 10ELEY, Esq., of New South Wales,
seconded b ALEXANDER SMITH, Esq., of Liverpool, and
ertillesolvei unanimously,
the opinion of this meetine it is in the highest de-
mtportant that the supply of labour from these kingdoms
pra :1‘• South Wales should be encouraeed and promoted by all
ae-'"ca.ble means and that every possible facility and encourage-
tan consistent 'with the existing law of the land, should be
orictued to all persons engaged in supplying it. In a Report
Vkl' committee of the Legislative Council of New South
ear 4,, they state "that to permit immigration tobe suspended
of sseleked in its extent, would be to seal the death-warrant
sai"ftial prosperity, and to expose to certain ruin the nu-
,flounshing and extending interests which have been
t1a.,0 to the Colony,land it may also be truly affirmed that any
ealle4u the supply of labour to New. South
I Wales is also cal-
,taa by reflection, to be highly injurious to the best nte-
1, It the Mother Country."
.1:„, Moved. by EDWARD DIVETT, Esq.. M.P., seconded
lacH KIST, Esq., of Glasgow, and
711 a this
enanimously,
Fraiah- 14is Meeting considers the Bounty system of Emi-
oy Hi which was originated and established in the Colony,
the which
authorities, under the administration of Sir
is.i-iard Bourke, to have been a most valuable means of ob-
vsstbg the necessary supply of Labour, and to have conferred
11,,slienefit on the Colony. It is estimated that upwards of
ttieu persons emigrated to Nev South Wales last year under
(I,2Peration of the Bounty system, and in the present year,
Rill
there is reason to believe that a vastly increased supply
afaoe furnished uncles this invaluable system, if left, as here-
to the energy of those engaged in sending it out,
4 'caekled by the imposition of unnecessary and obstructive
t:eaditions " In their estimate of the great value of the
Oe'n'ltY system, this Meeting has the entire concurrence of Sir
fa;argc Gipps, who, in a despatch to the Secretary of State
l,'", Colonies, presented to, and printed by order of Parlia-
o"t' gays "the Bounty system, however, has been found so
to ti:llperior to that of Government Emigration, both as
description of persons supplied by it, and the cost
shetrir passage, that it appears to me very doubtful
tiss "er any other should be persevered in ;" and in another
aelelteh the Governor, speaking of the Report which had then
aan'l7 been presented by the Committee on Emigration in
r'ony to the Legislative Council, thus expresses himself :
01;0' no way able to dispute the correctness of the con-
tottehs of the Committee, in respect to the superiority of the
ag,,,4tY system over that which is carried on by the immediate
Per he 0f Government. The Bounty system is found to be 41.
tat 'ad, or about 21 per cent. cheaper t.han the Government
4.111 reckoning men, women, and children. all alike, and
this `, no difference for the quality of the emigrants.; but if
faller
be taken into consideration, and especially the
tea, ler proportion of children introduced by the Bounty sys-
de .athe' advantage of that system must be estimated consi-
lets',l7 higher, and I am inclined to think with the Commit-
tau' that 200 Government emigrants cost as much as 300
dimilitY ones of equal value to the Colony." This, it should be
ter;'etla borne in mind, is the voluntary testimony of the Go-
a, of the Colony, in his official communications to the
Tary of State. As respects that most important consi-
atta,_
„ the comparative state of health on board Govern-
lae' and Bounty
ins,shi conveying passengers to New South
Les, it was stated vidence before the Committee of the
14 'llsathtive

40niPs,under the Bounty system, there were embarked 884
tit'4, viz., 42 ninety and 461 Females, and 170 Children—
th,ttilY male and female. The register of deaths among
aid has not been preserved, as will be found stated in the
itt',e'see. As, however, no ships of this class have been placed
rarantine during the past season, it is reasonable to believe,
aalet is, indeed, a matter of general notoriety, that the immi-
hatby Bounty ships have arrived invariably in a state of good
Ite,., and that the casualties at sea have been exceedingly few."
taoved by JAMES JOHN CUMMINS, Esq., seconded by
NEIL CAMPBELL, ESQ., and
ai_liesolved unanimously,
thsr thus proved beyond all questieo, as the superiority of
(IT,ty system has been, as a medium for supplying labour to

from this prison :
" Some friends had formed the project of rescuing
me from my persecutors ; the impossibility of its execu-
tion was soon perceived. A strict surveillance had
been enjoined, because the design of carrying me off
bad been discovered ; but my friends had sworn to risk
their lives to rescue me from the hands of the murder-
ers, who had determined on my death. Consequently,
as it was impossible to get me out of the tower, they
resolved to conceal me in it, to make my persecutors
believe that I had escaped. The idea was a bold one ;
nevertheless, it was the only means of facilitating the
escape which they had planned. Nothing was more
practicable to make me disappear for the moment. No
one escorted those who carried down to the first floor
the things of which I had made use. My friends were,
therefore, convinced that they would be able ti take
me up higber, without -any risk of being discovered.
In fact, though my sister was confined in the
third story, she had at that time neither senti-
nel nor municipal officer for her guard. This
expedient afforded almost certain prospects of suc-
cess. Accordingly, ono day my protectors gavb me a dose
of opium, which I took for medicine, and I was soon
half asleep. In this state I saw • a child, which they
substituted for me, in my bed, and I was laid in the
basket in which this child had been concealed under my
bed. I perceived, as if in a dream, that the child was
only a wooden figure, the face of which was made to re-
semble mine. This substitution was effected at the mo-
ment whoa the guard was changed ; the one who suc-
ceeded was contented with just looking at the child to
certify my presence, and it was enough for him to have
seen a sleeping figure whose face was like mine : my
habitual silence centnbuted farther to strengthen the
error of my new Argus. In the meantime I had lost all
consciousness and when my senses returned, I found
myself shut up in a large room, which was quite strange
to me ; it was the fourth story of the tower. Before
ecncaffng me there, one of my friends, whom I shall
name in the course of this history, had informed me
in what manner I should he saved, on condition that
I should bear all imaginable sufferings without com-
plaining ; adding, that a single imprudent step would
bring destruction on me and my benefactors ; and he
insisted, above all, that when I was concealed, I should
ask for nothing. and should continue to act the part
of a really deaf and dumb child. I ate, I slept, and
waited for my friends with patience. I saw my first de-
liverer from time to time at night, when be brought me
what was necessary for me. The figure was discovered
the same night ; but the Government thought fit to con-
ceal my escape, which they believed to have been com-
plc ted. My friends, the better ,to deceive the sangui-
nary tyrants, had sent off a child under my name, in
the directior, I believe, of Strasburg, and even gave
information to Government that it was I who had been
sent there. The Government, its order entirely to con-
ceal "the truth, put in the plae of the figure a
child of my age, who was really deaf and dumb, and
redoubled the ordinary guard, to creste a belief
that I wag still there. This increase of precau-
tion prevented my friends from completing the exe-
cution of their plan in the manner they had intended.
I remained, therefore, in this vile h&c, as if. buried
alive. At this time I was nine years and a half old.
Frevenfly I bad to wait several days the arrival of the
beneficent beings who provided me with food. 'rho Go-
vernment, notwithstanding the artifice used by them of
substituting the deaf and dumb child in the place
of the wooden figure, gave orders not to admit any of
those who knew the Dauphin, to prevent all possibility
of the secret being betrayed. I know not how it hap-
pened, that in spite of these precautions it was whis-
pered about that the real Dauphin was no longer In
the tower. Tue agitators were alarmed, and it wan
decided that the deaf and dumb child should die. De-
leterious ingredients were mixed with his food, which
made him ill ; and in order to avert the suspicion of,
poison, M. Dessault was called in, not to cure him,
but to counterfeit humanity. M. Dessault ordered an
antidote to he prepared by his friend the apothecary
Choppart, telling him, at the same time, that this
child was not the son of Louis XVI. M. Dessault's
disclosure was repeated ; the murderers of my
.family,
seeing that the life of the dumb boy was prolonged
in spite of their attempts to poison him, substituted
for him a ricketty child from one of the hospitals at
Paris ; and, in order to secure themselves against any
further betrayal of the secret, they poisoned Dessault
and Choppert.
June S. 1795, and after the post nzortent examination,
the body was deposited in a coffin, preparatory to
interment. This coffin was placed in the room for-
merly inhabited by my father. While this was doing
a strong dose of opium had been given to me. I
was placed in the coffin, when the dead child was with-
drawn, and all was completed just at the moment when
the coffin was sent for to be conveyed to the grave. No
sooner was the dead child concealed in the fourth story,
the piece where I had been, than my friends, informed
of what was passing, placed the coffin, with me in it, in
a carriage. On the way to the burial-ground, I was
put into a box, at the bottom of the carriage, and
the coffin was filled with rubbish, to give it sufficient
weight, and as soon as it was deposited in the grave,
my friends re-entered Paris with me. There I was
entrusted to the hands of other friends. When I
awoke, I found myself in a bed, in a very neat apart-
ment, alone with my nurse. Most fortunately this
business was executed with deseatch, for scarcely was I
in a place of safety, when the whole secret was dis-
covered. Already it began to be publicly rumoured
that it was not I who had been buriel. These reports
alarmed the Government, which gave orders to its
agents to disinter the coffin, to nail it down close, and
to bury it elsewhere, that in case of search it might not
be found. My friends in the meantime disguised and
sent me in a carriage to Paris, and with a view of put-
ting my enemies on a wrang scent, they sent off a child,
a natty° of Versailles, with his parents, intending him to
pass for me."
Ile was afterwards discovered and taken back to
prison, from whence he a second rime escaped through
the means of Madame Beauharnois, by whom ho was
consigned to the care of a person named Montmorin,
who conducted him to Venice ; and afterwards was se-
cretly under the protection of the Pope, Pius V.
From
Italy, when the revolutionary army penetrated into
that country, be attempted an escape to Engl
but was detected and taken back to France and put
in prison. He remained in prison until the year 1803,
when Montmorin, who had followed his steps, con-
trived and effecaed his escape. He attributes the suc-
cess of this attempt to the assistance of Josephine, who
favoured the attempt and secured the connivance of
Fouche, Minister of Police. He arrived next, undis-
covered, at Strasburg'', where ho was identified and
placed in confinement in the fortress of that town. He
was nineteen years of age when this event took place.
Here he despaired of ever regaining his liberty, when
he was most unexpectedly and courageously delivered
from his dungeon by some unknown and adventurous
adherents.
The Prince thus describes his condition after this
escape :
" 'll he instant I breathed the heat air, I fainted
away. We arrived the same night at a new place of
refuge, where I was concealed in an isolated apartment,
and received from my friends the tenderest attention.
Here again I felt el wmingly ill, and scarcely was I Con-
valescent when my asylum wasdiscovered by my perse-
cutors. I immediately fled, accompalwed only by the
faithful Montmorin. Harrassed and worn out by so
mar y sufferings, we arrived at Frankfort on the Maine,
in Germany, where we rested for sonic days, and ex-
changed our clothes at a Jew's. We were then in the
spring of 1809. While in this town I learned from
my friend Montmorin that I had been confined about
four years in the dungeon which I have described.
I was four and-twenty years old. In reckoning the
whole period of my coefitminent, from my imprisonment
with my family in the tower of the Temple, I had to this
time endured seventeen years of More or less rgorous
capt;vity ; for even when in the care of my friends I
was little more than a _captive. Montmorin informed
me that I owed my enlargement to Madame Josephine.
adding at the same time, that her conduct was the
result of mere selfish policy,' who finding at length Vint
it was the intention of Bonaparte to separate Irons her
alts InV death, and to marry again, revealed to my
friends the place of my eonfinemeat.
" As soon as we received tidings from my friends
Fiancee aceompanisd by a letter of credit, w
hastily
quitted Frankfort :tad travelled post on the road to 11j-
hernia. Front thence we progressed through Germany,
Dresden, and at length, by making a great circuit, reached
a village in Prussia. We had just fallen into a deep sleep
at an inn where we lodged on the evening of our arrival,
when we were awakeeed, and arre:teti as spies, -Hs We
were told, and conducted before the eommandent of a
small body of troop recent i 1 quartered in the neighbour-

DOUBLE PATENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND.
PERRY and CO. having effected considerable
improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have
now the pleasure to announce that a Second Patent has been
granted to them for such improvement, which they have united
with their First Patent, under the title of " DOUBLE PA-
TENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND." The eulogy
bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public .lournals,
and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink-
stands was almost unprecedented. The present novel and sci-
entific method of supplying Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and
returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action
being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a
supply, and shutting it down to withdraw it ; in this state it
cannot outflow, whatever may be the change of temperature,
and it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or
climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use,
and the writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear
Ink for four or six months.

ful Montmorin fell by my side. I was vroddtreW :,elf
when I was fired on, my horse fell dead, my left foot, still
in the stirrup, was under him, in spite of all my efforts,
I was not able .to -extricate myself. A foot soldier
drew near and gave me a heavy blow on the head with
the butt.end of his musket. I felt as if struck by a thun-
der-bolt, and was so giddy, that everything seemed to be
whirling round me. I know not how long I remained in
this state ; when I recovered my senses I found myself
in an hospital. When nearly recovered, I found myself
in the forest of Wesel, on the frontier of France. I, with
other prisoners there confined, was illegally condemned,
by the order of Napoleon, to the galleys at Toulon, with-
out knowing why. We were transferred to the interior of
France, from one prison to another, like common male-
factors. I had not a penny wherewith to supply my
wants. We were treated with much harshness on our
way by the French who escorted us. I became ill, and
was left by the escort in a village where I had fail;ln'
senseless. At length I was conveyed by a cart to the
neighbouring town. There I met with a convalescent
soldier 'of the name of Friedrichs, who recognised me,
and we mutually concerted a scheme to escape, which we
succeeded in doing, though not without encountering.
the most painful sufferings and privations. It is not my
intention to relate here the long series of sufferings which
I was destined to endure. Passing, then, rapidly over
such circumstance 3 as would only serve as food for eu-
riosity, I shall at once transport myself into Germany,
in which country we arrived after a thousand vicissitudes.
There I had the grievous misfortune to lose my friend
,Friedrichs, who, having gone out for foraiing for us
as usual, was apprehended by the chevaliers de la
corde. I continued my pilgrimage alone, and soon
arrived in Saxony. As Friedrichs had persuaded me to
enter the Prussian service, I directed my steps towards
the town of Berlin, travelling by night, and sleeping in
the daytime under the canopy of heaven. I-asked the
way of all those whom I met ; but whether they did
not understand my questions, or whether they imaginca,
that I asked ~in joke, they directed me -at random, so
that I ended by going direcCy opposite to my destina-
tion. In the course of this wandering I found myself
one day in a large forest, to which I could st e no end.
I was tormented by thirst, And sought some fruit t.`er-
refresh me, but in seeking for' it lost my way. .In
the midst of this embarrassment, I beard a poitd on's
horn, and immediately afterwards I perceived a post-
chaise at some distance from me. Having regained

the high road, I seated myself, while waiting for the
carriage, on . a stone which bore the inscription,
Doctor Martin Luther.' It drew near, and a young
man who was in the chaise cried,' Stop, beau frere,'
en expression of the country, and immediately ques-
tioned me, either from motives of curiosity, or through
the intereSs with which my pitiable condition inspired
him. Touched, no doubt, by my answers, he
.offered
me a place beside him, saying he would take me as far
as Wittenberg.- I accepted the 'offer without hesita-
tion, and got into the carriage. On the road be in-
quired what was in my wallet, and on being told that it,
belonged to my comrade, he cut it open with his pen-
keife, when he found six hundred francs of gold, wrap-
ped up in several pieces of rags. On reaching Witten-
berg we alighted' at the Grappe d'Or, where our first
care was to change my clothes. He shaved me him-
self, and dressed my hair, and seen I was no longer to
be recognised. The next day he borrgwcd a carriage,
in which I was conveyed to Treinpretzee, the first
town on the frontier of Prussia. There he again took
me in a post-chaise as far as Potsdam whence he had
me conveyed in another private carriage to Berlin.
" After some repose, 1 addressed myself to the com-
mandant of the regiment of which Frielricbs had spoken
to InP, and was informed that his Majesty did not admit
foreigners. Mortified at this refuse!, and particular
circumstances having prevented my approaching the
King, to apply to him, as I had been advised to do, I •
was obliged to adopt another resolution, as my stock of
money was fast diminishing, This was towards the end
of the year 1810. Accordingly, to earn my bread,_
I set up as a watchmaker, Schutz 4.1 Strasse, No.. 52,
in an apartment which I hired. • It was not long,
however, before the magistrates, began • to raise diffi-
culties on account of my not having authority to fol-
low my trade, and 1 was accordingly required to de-
posit in that functionary's office my passports, register of
birth, certificate of „good conduct,. &c..--documents
which, it is hardly nceessary to say, I did not posseSs.
In this dilemma I confided my secret to Madame Sonnen-
feld. the widoes of a watchmaker; who suggested the idea
of my applying to M. Lecoque, president of the general
police of the kingdom of Prussia. I adopted. this
plan, and informed him in writing of my birth. M.lse„-
coque came to see me, and was satisfied of my identity
es he recognised my mother's writing, us well as the
seal end signature of my father. He then left me to
take the orders of the King respecting me. The fol-
lowing day he begged MC to entrust my papers to biro,
that he might submit them to his Majesty. I refused
at first, and insisted upon being myself presented to the
King. This, however, could not he grarea, until
Prince Hartteuberg, the President of the Ministry,"tad
rend my papers. Alter taking the precaution to cut. my
father's seal zig-zag, I delivered to M. Lecoque all the
letters thet I had preserved, but he took only that waitten
by my mother, and left m. e, promising that I should re-
ceive no further annoyance from the Magistrates of
Berlin. Notwithstanding this, however, I was again sumk
mooed, and after some delay, I was informed by M. Le-
coque that it was dangerous for me to stop any longer
there, and having given me a rohleau of gold, he
vised me to establish myself under an assumed name.
To facilitate this plan he sent me a patent under tho
name of Charles William Naundoriff. I remained'
peace from this time until the year 1812, at which pc-.
riod I changed my residence for Spandau. M.
Lecoque intimated to me that the King of Prussia
was net at liberty to act as he could wish, and that it
was necessary 1 should assume a feigned name to shel-
ter myself from the power of Napoleon. My pass-.
ports, with which 1 had been furnished by M. Le-
coque, having been examined by the burgomaster, 1..
obtained the freedom of the town, and time act was for..
welly verified before the council of the city. This took
place in 1812, a few months bt.fore the retreat of the
French atimY."
