      New Zealand. — Advices From Wellington, ...

      New Zealand . — Advices from Wellington , New Zealand , furnish a report of the opening of the fourth and last session of the Provincial Council , and the address delivered on the occasion by the Superintendent , detailing the progress of the settlement . It is alike satisfactory as regards public works , finances , and immigration . Important roads have been opened to connect the town with the most productive districts , and , although 50 , 000 ? . has been expended in this manner during the past three years out of an aggregate revenue

      of 80 , 0007 ., the Government would commence the present year not only free from debt , but with a balance to its credit . Immigration has steadily continued , and the increase of population from this cause was 486 in 1854 , 890 in 1855 , and 1002 last year . In the system of opening up roads , the plan is ' pursued of encouraging the labourers to become small landowners , and hence , on every trunk line , at easy intervals , townships and agricultural settlements are previously laid out so as to afford facilities for the purchase of small allotments . — Times .

      Tishing Companies . — Several gentlemen interested in cheapening the food of the working classes , and others desirous to improve the social condition of the fishermen , have united into fishing companies , and there is every prospect that , within two or three months , two companies at least , upon limited liability , and with capitals of 10 , 0007 . each , will have a considerable number of decked , boats , sailing from the Tyne , and manned with Northumberland fishermen , engaged on the Dogger Bank in . the deep-sea fishing . In the present dearness of butcher ' s meat , with a prospect of the price being still farther enhanced should tlie murrain exhibit itself here , it behoves us to develop to the utmost extent the immense resources for human sustenance which we have

      in pur seas . The Affair of Aldermak Maqnav . —The report of the law officers of the Corporation of London on the affair of Alderman Magnayjpas brought up and read before the Court of Common Council on Thursday . The framers of the document say : — - " It apperrs that a judgment by default was pronounced against Alderman Sir William Magnay [ by the Appeal Court of Brussels , Correctional Chamber ] , overruling the decision of the Tribunal of First Instance , and condemning the said accused to three years * imprisonment and to a fine of 30 OOf ., specified in the said decree . With , respect to the

      effect of this conviction upon the qualification of the gentleman in question as a member of this holi . court , we are unanimously of opinion , after a careful consideration of the provisions of the 12 th and 13 th of Victoria , cap . 94 , sec . 9 , that a conviction by a foreign court is not within the meaning of that statute , and that Alderman Sir W . Magnay is not disqualified from holding the office of alderman by reason of the judgment of the Appeal Court of Brussels of the 27 th of February last . " It was agreed , after some opposition , that the report should be printed and circulated among the members of the court , and that the consideration of it . should be postponed till the next meeting .

      Cotton Supply . —A ivumennis meeting of merchants and manufacturers was hold' on Tuesday afternoon , in the Manchester Town-hall , for the purpose of forming an association for the promotion of the growth of cotton fill over the world . Mr . Cheetham , M . P ., presided , and among the gentlemen present were Mr . lladfield , M . P ., Mr . 11 .. N . Phillips , M . P ., Mr . BarAey , Mr . M . Koss , Messrs . J . Pender , E . Ashworth , and J . Simpson . Mr . Bazley , in the course of his speech , remarked that we are now paying not less than 10 , 000 , 000 ^ . per annum more than would be paid for our cotton if the supply were unfettered , Resolutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting wero passed .

      Sale of St . James ' s Theatre . —Mr . Ilobins , on Tuesday , put up for sale by auction the St . James ' s Theatre . The first bid was 10 , 000 / ., offered by Mr . E . T . Smith . This advanced to 19 , 900 / ., at which the property was knocked clown . The vendor ' s reserved price , however , was not realized , and the theatre is therefore still in the market .

      London , Friday Evening , April 24 , 1 S 57 . The business of the Stock Exchange has been so limited that any record of its proceedings seems to be superfluous . The Bank returns will be possibly better this week ; but the pressure for money in lonibard-strcet continues without abatement . The funds , arc supported at present by daily investments ; the . "speculation , if any exists , is of a downward tendency . Money loans have ranged from six to eight per cent , during the week \ ipon stock . The effort to get oil " Russian railway stock has proved abortive . Jt will not float , and the state of the money market in Paris is not more

      encouraging . A strong attempt was made last week through the " Credit Molrilicr" to assist the launching of the Russian , schemey but the government of France ¦ ¦ knowing that it could not afford that tho " Credit Mobiliei- " should g-o to the wall—even for "his Mnjesty of all the Russias "—has put in . a veto upon the scheme . . Foreign stocks arc sencrally heavy , and very inactive . French and Belgian railways generally dull . Canada Trunk shares and Great Western of Canada Railway and their several ¦ preferciicb debentures are asked after , and good investments made , ltiga shares have been depressed during the week . Ceylons are also very much depressed in' price . Sambre and Me use , and Antwerp and Rotterdam axe looking better . ' - : . : "

      Eastern Counties are rmich the same . Heavy shares , such as Midlands , South Westerns , London and North Westerns , Great ¦ Westerns , and Leeds hang fire , but it must be acknowledged are not any worse than last week . In Joint-Stock Banks there has been a little business done . Ottoman Banks and Biiuk of Egypt have improved about 10 s . to 13 s . per share . Mines are not at all improving . Great WhcaV Alfreds are still very declining . ' ' Tlie talk of . a call of 11 . per share has depreciated these shares " 'below , their value . Wlical Trelawny , Mary Anne , Whoal Edward , West Seton , and Par Consols , have been inquired after .
