      i TN the Prospectus which the NORTH AMERICAN LAND AGENCY haa already published ¦ ; 1 their views , it is hoped , have been sufficiently explained as regards the promotion of Emigration to j Lands and Estates , purchased through its intervention in Canada , &a . The Agents cosfidently submit , however , that the same views , more fully developed , may be made j essentially useful , not only to the unemployed classes in this country , but also to those who are possessed of Borne capital , though insufficient in amount to secure , of itself , their permanent welfare and prosperity . It will be admitted tbat Emigration has heretofore been conducted on a system productive , in the aggregate , of much individual hardship and distress—and especially to the Emigrant of the poorer obflS J for on arriving at hia port of debarkation , he has found himself , generally speaking , with little or no money , and no friends to assist him in procuring work , or even to point out in what part of the Province he would be most likely to obtain it , —while he who possessed some little capital has met with similar I difficulties , in making choice of a location . Canada , though all ] things considered , perhaps the most ; important of our colonies , is virtually a terra incognita—simply because there is no one willing , ' if able , to afford the requisite information to those who seek it , and it is this deficiency which it is the aim and object of the Agents effectually to remedy . , i There are hundreds in Great Britain anxious to emigrate , but who , from want of sufficient means , I are deterred from , or anable to do so . To such the Agents can ogVr facilities heretofore unthought of and unattainable ; for example : —A man having no more than £ 100 , would not better his situation by , emigrating to Canada as an agriculturist—for the purchase of his Land , and the unavoidable preliminary | expenditure thereon , the expwnce of conveyance thither , and his support , however frugal , until his first j crops were gathered in , would absorb more than his entire capiral , evea under the most favourable ! circumstances . Such a capital , on the contrary , would be found not only sufficient on the plan proposed ; by the Agents , as hereafter explained , but at the same time , immunity from the usual hardships and privations would be secured , and to tbo prudent and industrious a comfortable and permanent competency in the future . ' ~ " j . But the great body of our emigrating population is composed of persons having no capital whatever , generally without even the means of paying their passage-money to , a Colony , however approximate to the mother country . The sufferings which too often bofal th ^ so poor people , are greater thau would be generally believed—not on shipboard , for thero they are now well-cared for , owin ? to the strictnsss with % / h \ 6 h the wholesome regulations of the " Passengers' Act" are enforced by the Government Emigration Agents hero and in Canada . It is on their arrival in the Colony t ^ iat the struggle really coramflPCe ? , a trujjgle not oonflned to the mera labourer , but more or less participated in by the small capitalist to whom reference was first made . : He must search for his Land in a country , to the localities of : whioh , ns sou snd seasons , tie js a perfect stranger ; and when selected , however judiciously , he must live upon his own resources until the seajuing harvest . He must erect hia own log house , elear and fence ihia land , wasting valuable time , and spending much of his already too acanty capital unprofitably , from inexperience in the work hehaa undertaken . ! . , The former , on landing at his destined port , applies for work , which u unattainable on the spot , he must seek for elsewhere , or starve . If without funds , he is pruvided by the Emigration A *« nt appointed by Government , with a free passage in a steam boat to wherever he chooses to go , and then every resource but hia own labour cease 3 . It may not bs irraleveot to mention , thaf the moeey thus expended in Canada in 184 % was , £ 18 , 161 ; aod in 1843 , nearly £ 9 , 000 ; Emigration in the latter year having fallen off 51 per cent , as compared with the-former : a plain proof of the generally helpless condition of our emigrating brethren , and that the distress alluded to is far from being exasperated . The Agents will now proeeed to state aa briefly as possible , those remedial measures whicfl they are sanguine enough to hope may remove in a ftre&t degree , if not altogether , tho evil * complained of . It has Been observed in the first proaped-ns' that the Agent in London has for sale upwards of 500 , 000 Acres of Land in different parts of Upper and Lower Canada ' , andjit is in a great degree owing to the exceedingly low terms on which the Agonts are authorised to dispose of some of the b > st of these properties , that they are enabled to offer to the consideration of the public the following scheme w ~ The statement marked A shows , that with no greater capital than £ 77 , a single sn » n , fobmin the fact . The plan now submitted goes ,- however , to > prove that eveiv this small stoeU of money can be ! made not only ample for all useful purposes , but will leave a fund to areet contingencies . [ The statement marked B shows- in like manner the cap ital required to entitle the Emigrant to 50 j Avjres of Land in Freehold , and this scale i « intended to apply to shoae who depend upon the assistance j of others , partially or whoSly , to enaisle theaa to emigrate- j i To this table the Agents bespeak the espeoial attention of tho « e who support Emigration from benevolent views . . Looking at the brightest side of the picture , it Has best * , to the poor man , eaerely a i transition from labour in on » country , to labcar in another , with the pnwpecc , if Fuccessfu ! , of saving in J the course of yearB , sufficient to procure those advantage * which ate here offered him on setting foot > n Canada-. Not only will he be- exempt fi *> rn the prospect ef want , provided of course he be prudest and indostriouB , but he will be spared those h&rdshrpd and pri'Tations here tofore inseparable from the change ; of home ami country ? and sesure to himself a state of cohort and independence beyond any expeciasions j he could eve ? have ven&red to- indulge im | i Ohe pubiic may fairly rcqusre eome ^ uarantse beyond the mare ; character of the Agents ,, that ifeey ; have the powsr aa well arthe inclination j faithfully to carry oat that which they undertake to perform . j Such a guarantee they are prepared t » -offer , and in a ftnn which they trust will be approved of They propose— ¦ ¦ : That when the purchase is- tnade , the money cantributed by each family or principal shall be placed in tbe hands of the Bankers of the Agency , in Lontlon , in the j . oint pamea of the Agent in Lon 4 on , ami some onsappoi- ^ ed by thVSeUlert > , to be applied in tie mannerfollowiug , viz .: — j 1 .

      POPULAR OUTBREAKS IN GERMANY . The dastardly and shameful neglect , which for cen ^ tnri& 8 past , the humbler ( working ) classes of society have met at the hands of those who call themselves tbe higher ones—Goverament—although it seems that they have not taken tbe pains of governing anything ; the effects cf this , as I said dastardly and shameful neglect begin to bear fruit , even ia- quiet—in bo caHed patriarcnal-Grermnny . About four months ago , on the price of beer being raised in Munich , the populace aV once took to anas , as it were ; houses and breweries wsre raosacked , and the military , with some pieces of ordnance , { loaded with the usual quietus tor the people , namely grape-shot ) were put into requisition to ausna ^ e the coming otorm .

      The Westminster Meeting . —The City of Westminster lias had Us demonstration to remonstrate against ihe injustice of which . iVlr .

The strange part of tlso affiir is , that while Mr . Duncombe , the Representative of the Chartists , and Mr . Feargus O'Connor , their accredited leader , wore presented teok a prominent part in the proceedings , the ariatocratioal Whigs and philosophical Radioal 3 » with the magnates ot'the AntiCwrn Law Lsaguej were absent from lhe meeting . One ia tempted to ask where were Lord John Russell , Mr . Hume and Mr .

      Cobden , upon the occasion ? and to marvel how it happened that they could not find a leisure hour to denounce what we presume they consider to have been an unfair proceeding , as well as a dangerous encroachment upon fteo discussion . It may be answered that the meeting was a Chartist ; one and that neither Whijjs nor Radicals , of a certain description , could think of patronizing it . ThiB howover , will not go down with the pablio , who observe that some of these very sdrnpulous persons can sometimes be found coalescing with the Tories—a temporary alliance with vthem must be as repugnant to their feelings as a junetion with the Chartists .

      Colonel 'BawdoB , the member for Armagh , evinced better taste , and although he candidly avowed that he had net heretofore agreed upon many points with Mr . O'Connell , yet generously came forward to protest against what he pronounced . t » be an anoo&stitutional prosecution .

A plasterer commenced preparing the guano , which was given ; to him as Roman cement , and , alter much difficulty , owing to the bad smell , he succeeded in plastering a few yards of the gentleman s house , but the stench becoming past hi » endurance , he called out to the gentleman , and said .: " I am very sorry , but I must beg of you to get some other person to finish this iob , for I never met with

      such Reman cement before . I am quite siok , and the smell will poison me if I go on ; besides ( continued the plasterer ) , did you ever see Roman cement so yellow ?

It was like eand , but whea mixed with water it turned into stone , and would flag his field , instead of making the grass grew almost as quick aa winking , as he was told this manure would do . ! His man had mixed water with

      some of it and spread it out , and on returning , a short time afterwards , he found the stuff aa hard as a flag , and came to him in breathless haale , saying , " Mestux , X nevvur seed aitoh muck in aw my loife is yoa naw ganno muck , for I mixfc sum on ' t who whittexvun its torned into , a flag ; hia hittle mak graa rto , hittle mak' out gro .

      The measures of tbe police caused k ' le project to miscarry . A certain Mioiarelli , who k ^ d been compromised in the-events of 1831 , had bee n sent here to watch the refugees . He got iHtimate \ wiih them , entered iDto the plot , and even organised ' ^ and then betrayed the fools who trusted him .

The Senate had re | eeted the clause of the Naval Appropriation Bill , abolishing corporal punishments , on the 14 th uh .

      A resolution affirming that the people were opposed to the measure of a national bank was proposed by Mr . Ellis , and adopted tj 108 to 68 . A voluminous report from the committee of retrenchment was brought up by Mr .

The Jamaica journals of the 8 th are extremely indignant at the ministerial plans for the redaction of the duties on foreign sugar and cofiee . They say the proposed reduction has created considerable alarm in the colony , and various meetings have been held aud memorials prepared , deprecatory of so illa-dvised and ruinour a measure .

      Of the sugar crsp the Jamaioa Times says j" The rains which we had hoped would have been geBtral , have unfortunately not proved so ; for the entire of Vere and St . Dorothy , and the greater part of Manchester and Clarendon are suffering from drought , and great fears ate entertained that if we be not favoured very shortly with a change of weather , the sugar crop lor the next year will still be ruinously short . The Illustrious , liae-of-battle ship , had been sent by the A / miral ( Sir C . Adam ) to Havanna , it was said , to demand an explanation respecting the imprisonment of several British subjects on aeeoant of the late disturbances in the island ; and also an explanation of the cireurastanee , that all free coloured British subjects having been peremptorily ordered off the island of Cuba , to the ruiuof many of them .

      Mr . Buncombe , to whose vigilance , courage , and ability the pnblic are so much indebted for the exposure of the malpiactice in qaestion , and for whatever niay be done for ^ the correction of it , Is pointedly excluded from the committee , on the plea that he in an acenser , a 8 if tbat character must belong to any member of Parliament who directs attention to abusea , or if it did bo , an if it should operate as a dieqaslifleatton for investigation . There was the same reason , good or bad , for abutting the accuser ' s suppo rtera out of the committee as for exolnding the accuser himaelf . No , the trne reason for not nominating Mr . Duncombe was , ibat be would not do tbe work by halves , nor be restrained by aijy party considerations ot deferencee from reporting whatever might be found amiss . W « have , however , the satisfaction of Mr . Dancorabe ' s pledge , that if the committee do not perform their duty fully , he will re-open the matter . —Examiner .

      The Real Method of Seal Breaking . —Public attention has been of late very properly directed to the odious 8 > Btem of espionage which haa been long- practised at the Poat-cffice , uuder the authority of the British Secretary of Slate ; and many of the journals have pretended to describe the agency by wbicn the operation of taking fac-similias of seals has been accomplished , but evidently-with little knowledge of the subject . Some of tbem have stated that the imitation seal was produced by placing a plate of lead on tbe wax impression , which , when smartly struck , preiented a perfect fac-Bimilib of-the original ; but tbat is a palpable abaurdity . Tbia operation is nmch simpler ; and by the procesB adopted at the Pustr-omc 9 , a score of spurious seals can be produced in a few minutes , and with the utmost precision and certainty . The spurious seal by which it is intendod to reseal tbe opened letters , i « taken ia pluster ol Paris , and wiln so much accuracy

      as to defy detection . It is , in fact , tbo process by which our beautiful casts of medals and coins are taken , as well as tbat by which tbe lower gangs of coiners are eoabltd to cast exaet facsimiles of our silver coinage iu base metal It appears tbat in tbs secret , or ianer bureau of the Post-t ffice , the appropriate apparatus for cabtiag ia always in readiness . It eiwfiy consists of a small cylindrical , annular brass mould , about an inch in height , which openB and shuts like a bullet mould-After tbe seal has been oiled , to prevent the plaster adberiDg , this mould is placed vpon it , and the plaster of Paris , mixed in tbe usual way , is poured upon it . Iu about five nriuutea it hardens , or sets , as it is technically called ; and in about as many minutes more Is fit for resettling tbe letter , which ba » been opened by tbe application of a hot iron to the seat , and a copy of its contents duly taksa . If a wafer should bave been seed , a little hot water or steam will soon remove the obstruction . —Atlas .
