REMINGTON, STEPHENSON, AND CO.'S
BANKRUPTCY.—On Friday a meeting of creditors under
this bankrt ntcy was convened, in order to give them an
opportunity to consider a proposition that the assignees
should compromise with the trustees of Mr. Thomas
Horner, of the Colosseum, who absconded from his credi-
tors, and so put an end to the suit in Chancery respecting
the mortgage on the Colosseum, executed for the security
of Mr. Horner's creditors. The total amount of debts
wove(' against the estate is nearly half a million sterling.
The dividends already declared amount to ten shillings and
tenpence in the pound on the joint estate ; and should the
important question relative to the suit in Chancery and
the Colosseum be compromised, a further dividend of one
shilling and sixpence in the pound is expected to be
declared. Singular to say, not one creditor appeared to
discuss the question, and the proceedings were therefore
adjourned. The official assignee and two legal gentlemen
had arrived from the country to be present.
AMERICAN GIMBLETS.—The Yankees are
in a fair way to destroy John Bull's gimblet trade with this
country. The new twist gimblet is almost as much su-
perior to the old English gimblet, as the screw auger is to
the old pod auger. Th.-re is a gimhlet factory at West
Whately which employs fifteen hands, about half of them
females, and manufactures twenty-five gross per week.
The steel is imported from England in round rods ; the
handles are turned out in the vicinity.—New York
Journal of Commerce.
CHANCE OF EMPLOYMENT IN VAN DIE-
MAN'S LAND.—There has prevailed (says Surgeon Os-
borne, in his Notes on New South Wales) a slight mis-
take or error in the mother country about the advantage
of labourers and artisans emigrating to this country. Free
labour never was nor ever will he in demand where con-
vict labour cm be procured with so much facility as in
New South Wales at present, and even mechanics now
meet with great disappointment on their arrival. The
firmera, all, of course, prefer prison labour, no expence,
comparatively speaking, attending it, and the servant is
under their controul. At this time there is no chance of
a mechanic receiving in Sydney more than ordinaty wages
at home; and I happen to know some who cannot get
employment at all—saddlers, &c. ; and a blacksmith, who
came out in the ship with me, has declared that if his
wife and family were not coming out by the assistance of
the Emigration Committee, he would return in the same
ship, for he could do better at home than here, and would
he more content in future. The large farmer never re.
quires a supply of manufactured articles from the town ;
he has his blacksmith, carpenter, shoemaker, &c., and he
is in a better position for supplying the wants of his
p oorer neighbours than consuming the surplus labour of
tradesmen. It is not unusual for an artisan—a black-
smith in particular, and perhaps some other callings also
—to earn for his master from 501. upwards per annum,
by supplying the wants of the neighbouring farmers, who
are glad to pay the town price to avoid the trouble and
expense of going so far for accommodation. A similar
error prevails respecting free young women; the situation
they stand in on their landing may easily be imagined ;
but it is not necessary for me to describe. Some young
men, farmers' sons, lately arrived with a view of getting
employment as overseers- &c., and were surprised when
they were offered 201. per annum, or
perhaps less; they
lid not consider that their services were not available at
first—that it took time to acquire the method of business
and above all, to learn to "battle the watch" with the
convict servants before they could be useful to their em-
ployers. This is not quite so easy as many deluded
parents imagine when they thrust forth their hopeful
Johnnies to make a rapid fortune in the "El Dorado"
A ustraliansis.

This morning his MAJEsTr inspected the Ist Life.
Guards and the let battalion of Grenadier Guards i❑ the
Quadrangle of the Castle. His MAJEsTY was attended by
the Duke of GLOUCESTER, Prince GEORGE, Colonel Bo-
WATER, Prince ESTERHAZY, and Sir B. TAYLOR.
Prince TALLEYRAND and the Duchess de DINO took
leave, and left this morning for town.
Their MAJESTIES attended divine service this morning
in the private chapel of the Castle. The Rev. 1. GossEr
and the Rev. Mr. Woon officiated.
This afternoon, at four o'clock, the KING rode out in
his droski.

On the 7th of next month the KING will review the 3d
Regiment of Dragoon Guards, which, we understand, are
now stationed at Brighton, and on the same day a grand
dinner will be given in St. George's Hall.
The day for their MAJESTIES departure for Brighton is
not yet definitively fixed, but it is expected it will be on or
about the 26th of the ensuing month.
