many imitators have adopted the term " Composite." They are sold
by most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the King-
dom, and are supplied wholesale to the trade by Edward Price
nd Co., Belmont, Vauxhall, and by Palmer and Co., Sutton, street,
Clerkenwell.

DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most
perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 2/. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to olicies from March, 1834, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :
Sum Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added
Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured. Assured. to Policy.

5000 6 years 600 0 0 5000 2 years 200
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.
Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident
Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 8,

HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM.

Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit (with.
out security) for half the amount of the first seven Annual Pre-
miums, paying interest thereon at the rate of Five per Cent. per
Annum, with the option of paying off the Principal at any time, or
having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the Policy
becomes a claim.

Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally
required for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have
the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death
may happen, as if they paid double the amount of premium, which
would be charged for assurances effected in the usual way.

A NEW AND IMPORTANT EDITION OF THE SILENT

C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sidoboard:—

C. WATSON begs the Public will undeirstaia that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than his metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he re•
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

C. Watson's handsomely Illustrated Catalogue and Price Currant
is just published, and Families who regard economy and elegance
should possess themselves of this useful Book, which may be had
Gratis, and Post Free, from the above Address.
PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINE LAMPS.

The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thns condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candies.

C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherche and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for Gs. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. Ure, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4s. per gallon.

i THE COLONY OF NEW ZEALAND

So much of misrepresentation has existed in
respect to the state of this colony—varying in its
features, occasionally all gloom and despon •
dency, and again, when the sun has conde-
scendingly shed its favoured light, it has
created a belief that in Wellington or Nelson it ap-
proaches " Heaven upon earth"—between these con-
trarieties it is not a little refreshing to find a docu-
ment that cannot be questioned. The following
sensible, unpretending account is from an intimate
friend of Mr. George Robins; he was many years a
medical man at Mitcham, in Surrey, and from having
ruptured a vessel on his chest he was necessitated to
abandon his profession, of which he was a great orna-
ment, and try his fortune in a clime more congenial to
a delicate constitution ; he says nothing of his
own health in the following epistle, but it is
known that during his residence there, for 18
months, he has enjoyed the best health. It was a
great undertaking to start on an expedition of seven-
teen thousand miles, with a wife and seven children,
and it is manifest that the encouraging observations
that follow, where " nothing is extenuated, nor aught
set down in malice," will incline a host of followers to
embark for " the land of promise." The importation
of the wood from that colony has proved that it pos-
sesses a source of wealth that had not been contem-
plated. The specimens exhibited at the New Zealand
House far surpass any woods that have adorned the
magazines of any of our first-rate upholsterers ; so
that a new and profitable trade is unexpectedly
added to the many before in perspective, not omitting
flax, from which an immense traffic presents itself;
but we are forgetting the letter that has elicited these
hasty remarks :

Motucka, Nelson, New Zealand,
June 14, 1844.
MY DEAR FRIEND,—The unexpected arrival of a
vessel which has looked in upon us on her way direct
to England, gives me the opportunity of sending you
a letter with the knowledge that you, will most pro-
bably receive it within four months of this date ; a
period which, however long it may seem to you, is
comparatively short to the time:which we find many
of our letters have been on their trauels. Some of
them most probably have never reached you ; for I
hear frequent reports of the irregularities of our post-
office, and we send our letters indifferently by way of
India, Valparaiso, Sydney, or Van Dieman's Land.
To begin from the beginning, I will suppose you
have already heard, that tired of waiting in Nelson
for the machinery I expected, and seeing that when
it did come out, it would require more money to set
it in motion than I had any chance of possessing, I
resolved to remove to my section of fifty acres of land
at Motucka, on the opposite side of the bay to Nelson,
about sixteen miles in a direct line. I started accord-
ingly, taking the boys with me, and leaving Sarah,
with the girls until I had got some of the roughest
work over. So I pitched my tent on the edge of a
wood, about three-quarters of a mile from the sea,
an began cutting down wood, digging drains,
making a road, &c. My first object, of course, was
to make myself a house, which I determined to build
of lags in the American manner, but from being
obliged to begin work in the rainy season, and from
having to do with men who, from various causes, had
got a great idea of doing exactly as they pleased, my
progress was not equal to my wishes, so that
when my dear Sarah insisted upon coming over three
months afterwards, I was obliged to receive her in
our tent, where we spent four months of the summer
season, leading a complete gipsy life, cooking in the
open air, and with no further defence against intru-
sion of all kinds than a simple piece of canvass, fast-
ened with a hook and eye. This, however, we found
sufficient ; we found the few settlers here excellently
disposed, and willing to render us any assistance in
their power, and we are on the best of terms with the
natives, to whom my character of a doctor is a wonder-
ful recommendation. I have now another part to play,
having been made a magistrate, or, as the natives call
me, Governor of Motucka. To return to ourselves ; we
have at last got into our house, which Sarah tells
me does great credit to my skill and taste as an ar-
chitect, and which, when finished—for I have not got
up my chimneys yet, making use of a stone—she
thinks will be one of the most convenient in the
colony, as I know for its size it will he one of the
cheapest ; for, looking at our number in family, I
thought it no use cramping ourselves, and yet it has
not cost more, in labour and materials, than 1201.
We have been in it about three months, and every
week adds something to its comforts, although I can
very well fancy any one accustomed to English ideas
looking about and wondering where they were. But
the fact is, that no one who has not begun from the
beginning has the least idea—the faintest conception
—of how he is indebted to the co-operation of those
around him, or the labours of those who came before
him. After lying on the floor one enjoys the luxury of a
bed, even a truckle one • after going without milk or
butter, I enjoy being the owner of a cow, though I
have to milk her myself, and prefer taking
my axe, and cutting a log, for the fire, even
to the luxury of paying 325. per ton for
best Walls-end coals. I ought not, however, to
omit saying that my boys are becoming very useful.
John and Fred. milk the cow almost always, and
Graham drives her home, whilst Mary assists her
mother, plies her needle, and hears the younger ones
their lessons, whilst each, in turn, takes charge of
baby, who is a general favourite, and promises fair to
be one of the brightest of the lot. We have eaten
potatoes of our own growing, and eggs from our own
poultry, and shall soon eat pork of our own raising.
I went out, on one occasion, to catch fish, but, after
being out all night, and sleeping on the sands by a
drift wood fire, I came to the conclusion that, as long
as the natives would sell fish of forty pounds weight
for a shilling, I could employ my time more
profitably. Our woods have, also, for some months,
abounded with pigeons ; and, although I hesitated at
first to entrust John with a gun, yet, since I have
done so, I have had no reason to regret it, and he has
sometimes brought home as many as half-a-dozen
birds at a time. Then, what you in England call
necessaries of life, and we out here style foreign
luxuries, are very cheap :—rice, 2id. per lb. ; moist
sugar, ditto; coffee, 6d. Flour is dear ; but we hope
soon to be independent of foreign countries in that
particular, and I have tasted some excellent ale from
barley grown in in the colony. So you see there is
no great chance of our starving ; in fact, we may be
said to possess the three essentials—a house over our
heads, good food, and good clothing ; and, if we occa-
sionally feel doubtful about the future, we do but
partake of the common lot of mortality, since none
of us know what a day may bring forth. In
the meantime, our spirits are not depressed ;
we have not forgotten how to laugh ;
and the other day, after a hearty burst,
only regretted some of our friends were not
within hearing. We still continue pleased with the
climate ; its fine unclouded warm days, and its healthy
bracing night ; and if, in common with all our neigh-
bours, we feel the want of a heavier purse, we can
here afford one thing which no one in England can
do, we can afford to be poor. Add to this, that the
real expenses of living are ridiculously small ; that I
occasionally receive a pound or two for medical aid ;
' that I have partly undertaken the management of a
saw-mill during the illness of its proprietor, who was
unequal to its management, and you will understand
how, with the careful management of my dear Sarah,
my income is equal to my expenses, and I do not owe
51. in the colony ; so that, compared with the gene-
rality of mankind, I may be consideted as very well
off. Our friends in England stand no chance of being
forgotten, for we have no one here to supply their
place, even if that were possible. Few days pass with-
out our having occasion to speak of them, and hardly
one hour, Sarah says, without our calling them to
mind. To all who ask after us remember us kindly,
and be always assured of the undiminished affections
J. D. G.
of yours ever,

LETTER OF MR. T. ATTWOOD.
(Communicated to the Morning Post.)
In the spring of the year 1833 I had the pleasure
of meeting Mr. O'Connell at the Thatched House Ta-
vern, in St. James's-street. I had then had, as I still
have, but little assistance from public men of any
party ; but I had then a sincere gratification in hear-
ing Mr. O'Connell declareito a meeting of about fifty
Members of Parliament and others that, " upon his
honour and his conscience, he did believe that three-
fourths of the miseries of his unhappy coun-
try were occasioned entirely by that accursed
Bill, viz., Peel's Bill of 1819 ! " Mr. O'Connell
at the same time illustrated this great truth
in a way most impressive, but almost
peculiar to himself, by stating, " that, if the American
woods had never been allowed to be cut down with-
out every man being compelled to use a golden axe,
the American woods would have remained in their
primeval state to this day !!" In following up this
beautiful illustration, I remarked myself that, in my
humble judgment, in the present state of society, to
cJinpel all the transactions of life to be effected in a
golden medium of exchange was very much like
compelling every labourer to use a golden plough and
a golden spade in the cultivation of the earth, and
putting every child to death that had the misfortune
to be born without a golden spoon in its mouth.
I then proceeded to point out the principal mea-
sures which were really necessary for the relief of
Ireland. First, I said, you must rectify the currency
in Ireland, as you must in England. That great
measure will, at once, make the currency balance the
rents, debts, and obligations which it has to discharge,
and the labour which it has to employ. It will place
labour in the same state of employment and of wages
as existed during the ten years average, ending the
late war, or even in a much better state. It will place
productive industry generally in the same state. It
will thus relieve full one-half, or, perhaps, two-thirds of
the existing misery of Ireland. Secondly, you must
pass a law to limit and restrain the power of land-
lords in ejecting tenants of land in Ireland. In Jer-
sey and Guernsey, no landlord can eject a tenant,
without the tenant's consent, so long as the tenant
pays a fixed stipulated corn-rent, converted into
money at the market price of the day. In this way
all improvements become the property of the
tenant, as they ought to be ; and if the landlord
wishes to obtain possession of the land, he must make
his bargain with the tenant, and pay him a just and
reasonable consideration. Thus the law protects
the tenant in the enjoyment of the fruits of his own
industry, which cannot be either twisted or forced out
of his hands. The landlord is not injured; for, by
the improvements of the tenant, he gets every day a
better security for the value of his land, in which the
tenant becomes interested, and, in those happy and
well-governed islands, is generally a part pro-
prietor, a tenant, and a labourer at the same time.
Establish a system of this kind in Ireland, or
some other system of a similar nature—give pro-
tection to the tenant for his improvements on the
land—and you will quickly produce a wonderful
change is that unhappy country. You will have no
occasion for agricultural societies. Nature herself
will produce agricultural improvements, which no
art can give. The Irish landlord will get his own,
and the tenant will get his own, but the property of
the tenant in his land will quickly become as great as
that of the landlord; the labourer will be fully em-,
ployed and well paid ; both agriculture and manufac-
turers will flourish, and Ireland will soon blossom like
a garden.
But, thirdly, you must drain the Irish bogs. You
must not regard the low pride and the miserable pre-
judices of the Irish landlords, who will tell you of their
entails and of the territorial dignity which their familes
derive from extensive although almost worthless posses-
sions. You must pay them the full and just value
of these possessions ; or you must pay that value twice
over, and take them into your own hands. Mr. Nimmo,
the Government engineer, reported to Parliament 20
years ago, that there are five millions of bog-land in
Ireland, three millions of which are capable of being
drained, upon a large scale, at the expense of only
one pound sterling per acre; and would then be worth
at least twenty pounds per acre!! He reported fur-
ther, that these three millions of acres were not worth
one pound sterling per acre in their present state !
You will thus gain a property worth sixty millions
sterling at an expense of only six or eight, or perhaps,
ten millions sterling. You must of course drain these
three millions of acres of land, and place them
in a state of cultivation ; and then you should sell
them to Irish labourers, in lots of perhaps five, or ten,
or fifty acres each, upon fire or ten years' credit, as
they sell land in Canada and in the United States ;
and you will thus draw hundreds of thousands
of Irish labourers from the overstocked markets of
Irish industry, and convert them at once into so many
prosperous, independent, and contented proprietors
and cultivators of the soil.

TIM MARBLE BLOCK FOR THE SCOTT STATUE.—
On Saturday the huge block of marble commissioned
by our eminent sculptor, Mr. Steell, for his statue of
Sir Walter Scott, to be placed in :the beautiful monu-
ment now on the eve of completion, arrived in Leith
harbour from Italy. This enormous mass of Bianeho-
Chiaro marble, as it is described, weighs upwards of 20
tons, having been cut from the celebrated quarries
of Carrara. It was expected, we understand, some time
ago, but, owing to its almost unprecedented size, great
difficulty was found at Leghorn for some time to pro-
cure a vessel for its conveyance to this country. An
accident, also, which nearly proved fatal to numbers,
occurred on the first attempt to place it on board
ship. While it was being lowered into a vessel hired
for the occasion, the shears gave way with a tre-
mendous crash, and the block went through the vessel,
fourteen persons being employed about it at the time.
The noise, however, caused by the breaking of the ma-
chine fortunately warned them of their danger, and all
escaped with the exception of an old man, who was rather
seriously hurt. The vessel being thus rendered unser-
viceable, the use of the Government pontoon was
then applied for, and, after some negotiation, obtained,
and by this conveyance the marble was brought to Leg-
horn. The block was shipped at Leghorn, on board the
Gem, of Leith, Captain Hannah, who kindly allowed
several of the planks to be cut away, in order to en-
large the hatchway, and admit the , i
monster " piece
below. We understand it will be removed to Edin-
burgh in the course of the week. It is right to
add that no inconsiderable portion of the heavy work,
necessary in " rough hewing," or shaping the block be-
fore it is fit for the sculptor, was done from measure-
ments furnished by the artist before its removal from
the quarry, and accordingly Mr. Steell will now be
enabled to proceed with his interesting labours without
further interruption.--Edinburgh paper.

The opening of the New Exchange is really an im-
portant and interesting occurrence. The edifice is the
centre of the commerce of the metropolis, and the trans-
actions carried on there, influence, more or less, that of
the whole empire. The prosperity of those who " there
do congregate," is essential to the well-being. of th 3
kingdom ; it is to England what the Nilometer is to the
Egyptians ; as the tide of wealth rises or falls in it, so
are the people busy or unoccupied—for it indicates the
extent to which the fruitful waters of commerce
are
covering the land. In that building will be the seat of

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—EVENING SITTINGS.
Alderman WOOD rose to move " That it be recora.
mended to the Judges and Commissioners of the
Central Criminal Court to discontinue the evening
sittings, and to hold three daily courts for the better
dispatch of business." He thought it would be ad-
visable to divide the motion into two parts, and there-
fore, without discussing the merits of the question, he
should move the recommendation of the discon-
tinuance of the evening sittings. As the Judges were
to meet on Saturday to adopt the regulations for the
sittings during the next Mayoralty, he thought there
could not occur a more favourable opportunity.
Alderman FAREBROTUER insisted that notice ought
to be given of the division of the motion.
Alderman COPELAND declared that such an altera-
tion as that suggested by Alderman Wood would be
productive of the greatest possible inconvenience to
him and other commercial men in the Court, whose
business necessarily occupied them in the early part
of the day, and made it impossible for them to change
their habit of sitting in the Central Criminal Court
at any other time than the evening, without prejudice
to their families. If these early courts were esta-
blished, he for one should be obliged to throw up his
gown. He protested against talking to the Judges
upon such a subject. _ _ _

Alderman LUCAS said the Court had better agree
amongst themselves on the propriety of such a change
before they talked to the Judges about it. Tbey
' ought to consider whether juries and witnesses, as
well as magistrates, would not be inconvenienced by
such an innovation, and certainly they were bound to
feel the pulses of their constituents on such a theme.
Sir PETER LAURIE believed that the doing away
of evening sittings in the Central Criminal Court
would do serious injury to the public. It was ob-
jected that after-dinner sittings were for certain rea-
sons calculated to operate against rational and judi-
cious discussions. But it would be remembered, that
for several hundred years not a single law had been
made before dinner. The members of that Court
were willing to give up their time to the public, but
they were not ready to sacrifice themselves to public
caprice. But the motion had no seconder, and must
fall to the ground.
Alderman Wool) said he had not discussed the
subject, for it was one which could not properly be
discussed in many respects openly. There were ob-
jections to evening sittings which might be very welt
imagined, but which he did not think it would
be prudent to describe.—(A laugh.) Sir Peter
Laurie had argued that Acts of Parliament
were made after dinner. Perhaps that was one of the
reasons why some of them were so unintelligible,
obscure, and nonsensical. —(A laugh.) But the
making of an Act of Parliament was very different
from the proceedings necessary to be adopted in
court of criminal justice, where the lives of our fel-
low-creatures were perhaps dependent upon a close,
and scrupulous, and clear attention to everything
connected with the case. In circumstances of such
a serious nature it would not do to ring a bell, as was
done for a division on making Acts of Parliament, to
rouse the Members from their dinner and wine, to
decide upon a question of the merits of which they
were often grossly ignorant. He saw that the Court
was oppose to a change which would effect great
benefit to the community; but they would probably,
before long, get a hint from Parliament, which would
convince them of the necessity of adopting the mea-
sure he suggested.
No seconder having appeared, the subject dropped.
—Adjourned.

reach the leading horses, but failed. At the Duke's

finished the race, Glossy obtaining the lead about two

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.—The cause of the re-
cent fire at New-cross has been traced to the spon-
taneous ignition of some vegetable black which was
stowed in the paint-room. A few weeks back, we drew
attention to a similar catastrophe, which originated In
the accumulation of pigeons' dung in the great tower of
the Church of Pisa, and not long since we remember
reading in one of the philosophical journals a statement
that oil-paintings on canvass have been known, under
certain circumstances, to generate heat sufficient to pro-
duce a flame. Having these facts before him, Mr. Booth,
the lecturer on chemistry, has in a most praiseworthy

DOCTORS' NEW Curs FOR CONSUMPTION, BEING
fIIE LATEST CONTRIBUTION TO THE ORGANIC THEORY.
—Cod-liver Oil ! ! ! is now put fortk by doctors as a
cure for consumption ; it is going the round of the me-
dical press, and no doubt will amuse the students in
medicine for the next six months. What will be the
next thing introduced ? Verily, this organic theory of
doctors affords plenty of work and pay to its supporters.
Issued by Morison and Moat, of the British College o_
Health, New-road, London, for and on behalf of the body
of Hygeists, who contend, that since all diseases arise
from one cause, namely, an impurity of the blood, they
can be cured by the Vegetable Universal Medicine,
which being composed of innocuous ingredients, may be
aken by any person without the aid of a doctor.
