BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES --
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London.
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgdss and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is reeom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
climates.

make allowance for the undoubted fact that
the formation of this Company was first pro-
posed by the Colonial-office, and pursued by
its founders against their own inclinations as the
only means then available of securing New Zealand
for colonization. But as the result of the questions at
issue between the Colonial-office and the Company,
they should still hope for a reversal by Parliament w
the policy of that office in New Zealand. Ever since
the Company had rescued those islands from the
dominion of France, their colonization by England
has been inevitable. Terrible disasters may befal our
countrymen now settled there; accounts of shocking
scenes of bloodshed hnd devastation may even now be

NEW ZEALAND COMPANY.
The adjourned meeting of the New Zealand Com-
pany took place on Friday at the New Zealand House,
Broad-street-buildings, Joseph Somes, Esq., in the
Chair, supported by H. A. Aglionby, Esq., M.P.,
John E. Boulcott, Esq., James R. Gowen, Esq.,
William Hutt, Esq., M.P. Viscount Ingestre, M.P.,
Ross D. Mangles, Esq., M.P., S. Marjoribanks, Esq.,
M.P., A. Nairne, Esq., John Abel Smith, Esq.,
M.P., Edward G. Wakefield, Esq., George F. Young,
Esq., Loid Dillon, Hon. A. Tollemache, George
Lyall, Esq., M.P., Russell Ellice, Esq., Alexander
Currie, Esq., and a very large number of Proprietors.
The CHAIRMAN, in reference to the report, said, from
the voluminous nature of the appendices to it, it was
impossible to lay them in a printed form for a day
or two before the Shareholders.
Mr. HARINGTON, the Secretary, then read the
report, of which the following is an abstract :
The report stated that the Secretary of State had
rejected all the proposals submitted to his Lordship,
without assigning any explanation of the grounds of
his refusal, referred to the correspondence contained
in the appendix, on showing the Directors' proceed-
ings in declining a suggestion made by the Colonial
Department ; and it drew a contrast between the
tone of the communication submitted by the Com-
pany, aria tli6' ielfriiiebeglif wider-Vie replies-
consisted.
" It was stated that an impression prevailed among
the Directors to the effect, that Lord Stanley himself
does not participate in the towards the Com-
pany, constantly exhibited in the correspondence of
the Colonial-office and the local government of New
Zealand.
" A large body of the proprietors had given a
written assurance of their approbation of the directors
in declining to accept a loan of 40,0001. from the Go-
vernment. Two letters, dated May, 1843, and con-
taining an agreement entered into between the Com-
pany and Lord Stanley, had been put by his Lordship
into the hands of Capt. Fitzroy, when appointed Gover-
nor of New Zealand, and on doubts as to their inter-
pretation being suggested by' sombody,' Lord Stanley
had furnished instructions to Governor Fitzroy, in
June, 1843, which materially altered the letter and
spirit of the agreement, but did not communicate
those instructions to the Company until February 1,
1844, nearly seven months after Governor Fitzroy had
left England. Had the Company been aware of the
interpretation put upon the agreement, they would
have endeavoured to effect its recal, and, failing this,
would have protested against an important variation
of the contract by one of the parties without the con-
sent or knowledge of the other.
" This disregard of good faith by the Colonial-office
may be productive of very serious practical wrong to-
wards the Company and its settlers.
" From the attempt of the Government to colonise
without means, instead of merely governing the colo-
nists already settled and the natives, had arisen the
establishment of the seat of government near the end
of a narrow country 800 miles long, the discourage-
ment of the Company's settlements, and the induce-
ments held out to emigrants taken out at the Com-
pany's expense to re-emigrate to Auckland.
"These schemes the directors were bound by their
duty to shareholders and settlers to resist, and hence
may be inferred with what reluctance they consented
to that part of the agreement of May, 1843, by
which they engaged to take lands at Auckland, and
colonise there.
" What, then, induced them to consent ? Their
answer is, they felt the interests of settlers and pro-
prietors to be so completely at the mercy of the
Colonial-office and the local Government with respect
to the vital question of land titles, and the proceed-
ings of the Government were leading to such fearful
results that they deemed it their duty to obtain some
determination of that question by means of almost
airy sacrifice. They had implicit confidence in
Governor Fitzroy's strict sense of justice and honour.
That confidence remains undiminished.
"But the agreement having been altered unknown
to them, they look with alarm for news of what may
have been the result.
" The agreement of May, 1843, was in lieu of an-
other agreement entered into with Lord John Rus-
sell, in November, 1840, by which the Company sur-
rendered to the Crown all claim to the land it had
acquired from the natives, and undertook to raise a
further capital of 200,0001., in addition to its original
capital of 100,0001., in consideration of Lord John
Russell's engaging that it should receive from her
Majesty a grant of as many acres as it had expended
crowns in colonisation. This agreement the local
Government seems always to have treated as waste
paper. A Court of Claims was established, into
which the Company was required to establish claims
which that agreement had compelled it to abandon.
The natives were the party on the other side. The
Court consisted of gentlemen who did not understand
a word of the native language. The interpreter was
also the sub-protector of the aborigines, and, as such,
both prepared out of Court the claims of the natives
against the Company, and acted as their counsel in
Court. He was just eighteen years old when ap-
pointed by his father, the chief protector, a lay mis-
sionary, personally and largely interested in whatever
affected the value of landed property near Auckland.
" There was no surer way of raising that value at
the expense of the Company's settlements, than by
decisions of the Court of Claims adverse to the Com-
pany, or by delay in the decision. It is not, there-
fore, surprising that the Commissioner's Court should
produce the most deplorable results.
" In our opinion, the massacre at Wairoa, fol-
lowed directly from it.'
" But it is not to the Court that the Company has
ever objected. A Court of Claims was, perhaps, ne-
cessary, in order that the native title should be extin-
guished by the Government, and the Company, in-
stead of being made a party before the Court, should
have been called as a witness on behalf of the Crown,
according to the principle of Lord John Russell's
agreement.
" The report detailed other instances of unfairness
in the correspondence of the Colonial-office and the
local Government, and referred to the documents
annexed in several appendixes, showing the injurious
effects of the measures of the latter.
" Tracing these to their result in the massacre at
Wairoa, the directors disclaim any desire of ven-
geance towards the natives, whom they consider to
be in a great measure unconscious of right and wrong
according to European notions, their present conduct
and ultimate fate depending entirely on their new
government, and themselves, therefore, to be held
free from many of the responsibilities attaching to
civilized men.
" Paying a high and just tribute of praise to Capt.
Arthur Wakefield, R.N., late tha Company's agent at
Nelson, and pointing out the tendency of the spirit
exhibited by the report of the chief protector, and the
subsequent proclamation of the acting Governor, to
aggravate the mutual hostility of whites and natives
which the Court of Claims, and the event at Wairoa
had produced, the report described its practical effect.
The colonial population now holds all property, and
life itself, upon no better tenure than the forbearance
of tribes of savages flushed with triumph and incited
to rapacity.
" The course of events in New Zealand has ne-
cessarily produced the effects described in the former
report of 15th March last. After spending half a
million in colonisation, the Company is still without
a secure title to one acre of the property awarded to it
by Lord John Russell's agreement more than three
years ago. Land sales have ceased. The Company
is deprived of income. Its expenditure is increased
by that insecurity of title which has cut off its re-
sources. The only cause to which this can be as-
cribed is the errors and hostility of the Colonial-
office and the local Government. In all other respects
a remarkable success has attended its proceedings.

this Company.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the
mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations,
and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were
effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The
Company considering It only just towards the assured that where
premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount
should be paid ; and they undertake to de so without reference to
the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor.
THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured,
although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are
lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits
is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the
assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re-
gard to complete security will permit.

BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half of the first
seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable at
at the convenience of the assured ; thus allowing a Policy to be
continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be
dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured,
seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from
effecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium
applicable to an age seven years younger. The Half-premium plan
of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons
to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the
first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or-
dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay-
ment by the half-premium plan will be five. guineas, being the one-
half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death
should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. .would be paid less the
51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year
of 51.; for the second, of 10/. ; and so on till the end of the
seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either
be repaid, or retained atsl. per cent. interest until death, when the
35/. would be subtracted from the 500/. then payab. -bythe Company.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR.
ANCE SOCIETY,
26, CORN HILL, LONDON.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered loy Act of Parliament,
The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable
seals, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

on their way; but, still in the end, British coloniza
tion must carry all before it. How it may be con
trolled and regulated so as to benefit instead of exter
urinating the native race, is a subject of which all the
interest must now revive. A former inquiry by Parlia-
ment exposed the mischiefs of the irregular colonization
which was then upheld, and set aside the policy till
then pursued. But the execution of the policy laid
down by Parliament has been miserably defective.
To say nothing of the lavish expenditure, or actual
bankruptcy of the local Government, the state of
relation between the colonists and the natives is such
as to call for the interference of Parliament. We
confidently trust that the whole subject of coloniza•
tion and government in New Zealand, including the
proceedings of the Company, will be strictly investi-
gated by that competent authority. A full and
searching inquiry into our own conduct is what is
most desired. It cannot take place without tending
at least to the removal of the causes of your present
ruin, and the restoration of your means of accom-
plishing the valuable public objects which your charter
of incorporation has in view."
Mr. RUSSELL ELLICE begged to congratulate the
Shareholders in the strongest manner upon the
straightforward statement then placed before them.
He had had much experience in the proceedings of
colonial officials, and his opinion respecting them had
been confirmed by what had just been read. It was
with much pleasure he saw that Mr. Aglionby had
given notice in the House of Commons for a Com-
mittee to inquire into colonial matters in New
Zealand. The result of a strict investigation would
be the dispelling of any little delusion which might
now exist in the public mind in reference to the pro-
ceedings and affairs of the Company, and that they
would be looked upon, as they deserved to be, as a
body calculated, if justice were done to them, to
effect a great deal of g00d.7--(Cheers.)
Mr. GEORGE ROBINS seconded the adoption of the
report, and, after a few observations, said that a com-
mittee of the House would be moved for that evening
and that one of the best ways to obtain justice for the
New Zealand Company would be to. furnish each
Member of Parliament with a copy of the printed re-
port. The Company required no other case than the
simple recital of facts set forth in the document but
recently read to them.—(Hear, hear.) They had in-
deed, one of the strongest cases ever carried before
Parliament, and he would not believe it was -possible
that justice could be denied them.
Mr. AGLIONBY said that, his name having been
mentioned in connection with a notice on the votes
of the House for a Committee on the subject, he
begged to observe, that some allusion having been
ppinted to this Company, in the discussion of the
New Zealand estimates on Friday night, he deemed it
his duty not to allow a moment to pass without
stating that they desired to have a searching inquiry,
and that he claimed it on the part of the Company.
In stating to the House that it was necessary, for the
satisfaction of the public mind, that there should be
nia inquiry into the state of affairs in New Zealand,
a d also into the proceedings of that Company, the
oble Lord at the head of the Colonial Department did
t, it was right to say, make the slightest objection.
motion for a Committee had his Lordship's full
*sent on Wednesday evening, and the Committee
vOuld have been granted but for a formal objection,
i/z., that notice for it had not been given. He had,
op this objection, withdrawn his motion for that night,
btit he was bound to say that he believed that it was
Lord Stanley's wish that the inquiry should not be
postponed. There could not be a doubt but that the
Committee would be granted without discussion. He
hoped that there would be a most searching inquiry
into the matter.
i Mr. CURRIE said, that with respect to the conduct
(4 the Colonial Minister, lie thought the report had
i f lly shown the simple ground of all the colonial oc-
co
the land claims. If Lord Stanley had the feelings
rrences complained of, to have been the non-settling
o an Englishman, he would, under the circumstances
o the case, and knowing that his own countrymen
were now in New Zealand unprotected, afford the
piotection required. The settlers did not require
much military protection, but they were entitled to
that which a just cause and an undisputed title to
their land ought to secure for them from the autho-
4ies, and if more blood were shed in the settlement,
in consequence of inadequate protection, the intended
Monument of Wairoa would be a lasting memorial
of Lord Stanley's apathy and neglect of his fellow-
men. He begged to move—
, " That this Court, continuing to confide in the
ability, discretion, and honour of the directors, ap-
proves cordially of their determination to appeal to
Parliament for the redress of wrongs inflicted on the
Company, assured that the proprietors may rely on
their receiving from that tribunal the justice which
has been denied them by the Colonial department of
the Executive Government."
The motion was seconded by Mr. PERCIVAL, and
carried unanimously.
Mr. SOMES then left the chair, which was taken by
Lord INGESTRE, and
Mr. GEORGE ROBINS moved, and Mr. HARDING
seconded, " That the best thanks of this meeting be
especially presented to the Governor, for his conduct
in the chair; and to the Governor and Deputy-Go
vernor and Directors, for their uniform and valuable
attention to the affairs of the Company."
The motion was carried unanimously, and
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Somes) having returned
thanks, the meeting separated.
