TIIE ROYAL VISIT TO THE ISLE OF WIG HT.—The
contemplated visit of Paince Albert to the Isle of 'Wight, for
the purpose of inspecting Osborne-house, is not expectod to
take place before Tuesday or Wednesday next, when it is
generally believed that the Queen will accompany her Royal
consort. The Directors of the South Western Railway 44ve
had everything in readiness for the accommodatiPii of the
royal party for some days past ; and as the Court is now
sojourning at Claremont, it has been arranged to take the
rail at the Esher station, and proceed direct from thence to

THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY'—Yesterday a spe-
cial Court of Proprietors of the New Zealand Company was held
at the Company's House, Broad-street-buildings, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the general state of the affairs of the
Company, and for adopting such measures as might be deemed ex-
pedient. Joseph Soames, Esq., filled the chair. The Chairman
regretted exeeedingly that the note which called the present
meeting had been issued, because certain questions of immense
consequence, between the Company and the Government, were still
unsettled, and until the measure of protection were furnished by
the Government, it would be impossible for the Company to lay
before the shareholders and the public generally a statement of
their affairs. He begged, however, from the want of communica-
tion with the Colonial Secretary, they would suspend passing any
resolutions. Various events in New Zealand had occurred, by
which the prospects and success of the country might be abated,
but if sufficient protection were afforded by the British Government,
little doubt could be entertained that it would become a flourishing ,
colony. A question was put by Mr. Currie to the Gover,-.04
whether the emigrants from Scotland would be prote;;cod, as a
great number of persons from that country had, determined to
emigrate to New Zealand, and who had made great sacrifices to
reach the colony ? the Chairman stated that it was impossible
to answer the question, as there were so many persons from
different parts of the country desirous of embarking fbr the colony
but it was proposed to adjourn this meeting to the 29th, when he
hoped to have received such information from the Colonial Secre.
tory as would establish the interests of the Company beyond all
doubt. The meeting adjourned to the 29th inst.
FREE TRADE 'ENVELOPES.—WO have this week
seen several specimens of an envelope for letters,designed to cir-
culate, without trouble, a constant remembrancer in favour of
free trade, and especially ofunrestricted commerce in the prat
necessary of life. The envelopes themselves are very neat, and
the place for the direction is surriminded by ears of corn, en-
twined as a border, ainl bearing the motto "Free Trade."
They are Wiled of different sizes, and in some the corn wreath
is gilt.—Leeds Times.
