NEW ZEALAND COMPANY.

An adjourned meeting of the Directors and Proprie-
tors of the New Zealand Company was held yesterday,
at their house in Broad-street-buildings.
JOSEPH SOMES, Esq., the Governor of the Society,
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.Toung, 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 for 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 Ibills 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 now 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. PERCWAL having
moved and seconded the adoption of the report, it vas
I received nem con.

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

ON THE VERGE OP TUE GRAVE ; OR, A MIRACU-
LOUS CURE BY HOLLOWAY'S Pius.—James Langley, a
ladies' shoemaker, residing in Allen-street, Goswell-street,
caught a violent cold about twelve months since, which,
being neglected, brought on a swelling of the legs and feet,
pains in the side and shoulders, night sweats, with inability
to keep food on his stomach ; indeed, he was at last reduced
to such a state of general weakness and debility that no one
thought he could long survive; but, by the use of Holloway's
Pills, every dangerous system quickly disappeared, and he is
now as hale and as hearty as ever he was in his life.—Sold at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand (where
advice may be had gratis); and by almost all respectable
vendors of medicine throughout the civilised world.
