• AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEA-
LAND EMIGRATION AND LAND FUND.
An Adjourned Meeting of the members of this Society
was held last night at their offices, 455, Strand, for the pur-
pose °flaking into consideration the measure about to be intro-
duced into Parliament by Lord Stanley, with respect to the
sale of Colonial Lands.
Mr. Pm took the Chair, and stated the object of the meet-
ing. He understood that Mr. Walker had some old despatches
to submit to the meeting, in which was a pledge to appropriate
the sale of Colonial lands to the purposes of emigration.
Mr. WALKER said he had such despatches in his possession,
but he had not got them with him. They were dated, June,
1831, and they contained a pledge that the produce of the sale
of Colonial lands should be appropriated to eraigratien.
Mr. KSNNAIRD wished to put a question io Mr. Walker,
whether that pledge had been made public ?
Mr. WALKER said it was not made public at the time, but
it was afterwards ; and the inhabitants of the Colonies placed
implicit confidence in that pledge.
A GENTEMAN said that Sir George Gibbs had denied this
two years ago in council.
Mr. WALKER said that Sir George Gibbs had denied it,
but he afterwards became so convinced of appropriating that
fund to emigration, that he stated it in Council to be his
belief that the fund ought not to be appropriated to any other
purpose.
A GENTLEMAN suggested that it would be desirable to
coincide with Lord Stanley in his views, with respect to this
fund, for he believed that Lord Stanley was a man of talent,
and had the interest of the colonies at heart. He, therefore,
thought that if they coincided in the measure, they would tie
the Government to apply half the produce of the sale to emi-
gration which was their own proposal ; they could go for the
other afterwards.
Mr. HINTON said their object was to go hand in hand with
Lord Stanley, but they wished to alter his scheme.
A GENTLEMAN said he thought they were frightening
themselves more than there was any occasion for, for he be-
lieved that the object of Lord Stanley was to apply not less than
one half of the proceeds to emigration, and out of the other
half would come the expenses of survey, malting roads, building
bridges, &c., and the residue of that half to be applied to that
object.
The CHAIRMAN said if this was their object they could have
no objection to it. After some further discussion on the motion
of Mr. Hinton, a Committee was formed for the purpose of
drawing up a memorial to Lord Stanley, expressive of their
views on the measure he is about to introduce to Parliament,
and to wait upon his Lordship with it.
The Meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday week, when
the memorial will be submitted to the Meeting previous to
presentation.

GOOD NEWS FOR TRAVELLERs.---We have great sa-
tisfaction in' informing our readers, that regulations have
just been issued by the Board of Customs for increased
facility and despatch in the house. of passengers lug-
gage at the London Custom-house. A second landing
waiter is to be appointed to assist in the examination
of the luggage, whose duty is to be confined to the
examination of such of the passengers' luggage as shall
not exceed one packet.. Thus, it appears, that what the
Whig Government would not, or could not accomplish,
has been quietly done by the Commissioners under the
new Government, but this is only one instance out of
hundreds, in which the Melbourne Ministry brought on
themselves well-merited reproach for not compelling
Tory officials to do their duty. The annoyance caused
to passengers by no . dless delay, has been repeatedly ex-
posed in this journal, as well as in some others, but the
Chairman of CvLstoms was deaf as the adder in the
wilderness, till he could help the Tories.

ERRATUM.— In an article in our paper of yesterday,
headed "H. Howard, Esq.," extracted from the Carlisle
Journal for "Henry Francis, born Nov. 3, 1709," read

" 1809."

UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF DEFAULT AT THE TREA-
suRY.—An erroneous paragraph appeared in the Ob-
server of Sunday, and was copied into most of the
morning paper:. yesterday, stating that Mr. Hutton
Perkins, one 4)f the cashiers in the Civil Service Pay
Office at the Treasury had disappeared from his post,
being
he hada defaulter to the amoant of 2,000 L, which
Mocured in stamps from the Stamp-office. The
fact is not as there represented ; Mr. Perkins has not
disappeared.
For although he has been absent from
his office for the last three weeks, that absence has
been caused by serious illness, for the truth of
thaw the
which Doctor James Johnson, of Pall-mall, and
Mr. Brown, of Camberwell, can vouch. It ap-
pears Stamp-office department had ne-
glected to call upon Mr. Perkins for a. statement of his
accounts for nearly four years, and on their toeing re-
