NEW ZEALAND -COMPANY.
An adjourned meeting of the Directors and Propri&•
tors of the New Zealand Company was held
,yesterday,
at. their house in 'Broad-street-buildings.
JosEru SOnES, Esq., the Governor of the .Societi,
took the chair, at one o'clock. Amongst those connected
with the Society, we noticed the following noblemen and
gentlemen:—Lord Petre, Lord CourtenaY, Sir "Ralph
Howard, M.P., Mr. Aglionby, M.P., Mr. J. A. Smith,
Mr. Young, Mr. Marjoribanks, M.P., and Mr. Hutt, M.P.
The object of the meeting was to lay before the Pro-
prietors the results of a communication, which it was
decided at the last meeting, on the 29th of February,
should be opened between the Directors and the Noble
Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, with respect to the
tenure of land in the colony of New Zealand.
The SECRETARY proceeded to read to the meeting
the result of the communication ; it was as follows :
That it was not until yesterday that the Directors
received any intimation of the views of the Secretary of
State far the Colonies upon this matter. They were
then honoured with some unofficial communication, from
which they understood that her Majesty's Government
were disposed to entertain favourably the proposal of
pecuniary assistance being offered by them to the New
Zealand Company upon the following conditions :
First, that such assistance should not exceed 44,000/.
Secondly, that it should be applied to the payment of
debts now unpaid by the Company which
had been drawn from the colonies to provide
for the employment of labourers, and to the payment of
such other bills as may be drawn for the same purpose
during the interval which must elapse before the report
could be received. The Directors had also received as-
surance of the desire of the Government to maintain the
most cordial relations with the Company in carrying on
the work of colonisation, and that the instructions sent
to Captain Fitzroy, would have the effect of quieting
the settlers who had obtained land under the Com-
pany, and of facilitating the permanent ac-
quisition of land in that country. The Direc-
tors, therefore, thought it would be wrong to offer
any partial information to .the present meeting, as
they conceived it indispensible to the establishment of
the Company on a satisfactory basis, that the points at
issue should be settled. They new conceived it to be
their duty to lay before the meeting this much of the
communication which they received from the Noble
Lord. The Directors wished that the present meeting
should be adjourned until Friday, April 19—assuring the
meeting at the same time that they should have preferred
having an earlier day were it not that the near approach
of the Easter holidays precluded the hope of their sooner
being able to lay before them the full information which
they must raise before they could prudently determine
on their further course of proceeding.
Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, and Mr. PERCIVAL having
moved and seconded the adoption of the report, it ARS
received nem con.

,_._
~~.,._ _

On the motion of Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, a vote of
thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting
separated.

Attention has been called to a case under the re-
cent statute of 5 and 6 Victoria, c. 116, for the relief of insol-
vent debtors, to show the impossibility of carrying into effect
the intention of the Legislature. In the beginning of last
year a debtor presented a petition to the Court of Bank-
rnptcy, a creditors' assignee was chosen, the assets were
realised and paid into the Bank of England, and everything
seemed mature for making a division of the estate. The so-
licitor to the assignees applied to the Commissioner to ap-
point an audit, and proceed to a dividend ; but he decided
that he had no power under the statute to comply with the
request, suggesting, however, that a dividend might be made
with the written consent of the insolvent. This was ob-
tained ; but the Commissioner still expressed doubts, and de
dined acting; whereupon the official assignee consented to
take upon himself the responsibility of applying for an
audit, and dividing the estate upon being furnished with
a similar consent from the insolvent. This was again
procured, and it was determined to have an audit meeting at
the office of the official assignee, and afterwards to proceed to
a dividend in the same manner as under an assignment for
the benefit of creditors ; but here an insurmountable obstacle
occurred, for the solicitor's bill having been taxed for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the actual amount there would be to
divide, and the allocatur taken to the Crmmissioner for the
purpose of procuring an ,order to pay the money out of the
Bank, the Commissioner declined to make any order, stating
that he had had a conference with the rest of the Comthis-
sioners, who thought they had no power to act in the mat-
ter. The result, therefore, is, that the money remains in the
Bank of England, that the insolvent is completely protected
from all legal process (his protection having been granted, of
course, during the proceedings), and that the creditors are
deprived of all benefit whatever, though a fair division of an
estate is the principal object of the statute. Such a state of
things seems imperatively to demand such an alteration of
the law as will give additional authority to the Commis-
sioners.—Times.
The wood-paving in Cheapside, upon Perry's
safety principle, was yesterday thrown open to the traffic
frem St. Paul's Churchyard, being a week earlier than was
anticipated. This is very creditable to the contractors, and
should be regarded as a precedent on all similar occasions in
the metropolis, where every interruption to free passage, how-
ever temporary, is so extremely inconvenient.
SPRING.—The prevalence of cutaneous visitations
at this period of the year inculcates the necessity of pre-
serving the Skin in a pure and healthy state, so that its func-
tions may be duly performed. The great celebrity which
" Rowland's Kalydor" exclusively maintains as an active yet
mild and soothing agent for extirpating all impurities, and
ipparting a healthy freshness to the Skin, is most pleasingly
evinced at the present season. This balmy and odoriferous
creamy liquid is composed of extracts from the most rare
flowers and herbs of an eastern clime—its discovery by a
lady of rank, was no less singular than its effects have been
felicitous curing the last thirty years. Its universally great
demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers,
who give the title of." Genuine" Kalydor to some compounds
of their own manufacture of the most deleterious character,
containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Com-
plexion, and by their repellant action endangering health.
It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words
" Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper,—All others are
fraudulent counterfeits.
