      , IN the Prospectus whioh the NORTH AMERICAN LAND AGENCY has already published ttiur views , it is hoped , have beou sufficiently explained as regards \ the promotion of Emigration to Lands and Estates , purchased through its intervention iu Canada , &c ) The Agents ooafHently Bubmit , however , that the same views , more fully developed , may be made essentially useful , not , only to the uuemployed classes in this country , but also to those who are possessed of some capital , though insufficient in amount to secure , of itself , their permanent welfare and prospority . It wi'l bo admitted that Emigration has heretofore been conducted on a system productive , in the aggregate , of much individual hardship and distress—and especially to the Emigrant of tha poorer class ; for on arriving at his port of debarkation , he has fouud himself , generally speaking , with hi tin or uo money , and no friends to assist him in procuring work , or even to point put in what part of ihe Province j ho WOUld be n \ OSt llkuly to Obtain it , —while ho who possessed some little capital has met with similar ! difficulties , ia making choice of a location . Canada , though all things considered , perhaps the most I important of our colonies , is virtually a terra incognita—simply becauseHhere is ao one willing , if able , ¦ to afford he requisite information to those who seek it , and it is this deficiency which it i the aim and \ j object of the Agonts effectually to remedy . j j I T ; : orearo hundreds in Great Britain anxious to emigrate , but who ; , from want of sufficient means ' , are deterred from , or unable to do so . To such the Agents can off r facilities heretofore uuthought of , J 1 and unattainable ; for example : —A man having no more thau £ 100 , would not better his situation by i I emigrating to Canada as an agriculturist—for the purchase of his Land , and ihe unavoidable preliminary , I expiMiiinure tkcrton , the expenco of conveyance thithor , and his support , however frugal , until his first ; crops wero gathorud in , would absorb more than his entire capital , even under the most , favourable ' \ circumstances . Such a capital , on the ooutrary , would be found not only sufficient on the plan proposed I by tho Agonts , as hereafter explained , bat at the same time , immunity from the usual hardships and I privations would be secured , and to tbe prudent and industrious a coinfortablo and permanent compctentcy I ia the future . ! ' Bui the great body of our emigrating population is composed of persons having no capital whatever , ' generally without oven iho means of paying their pa ^ sage-monoy to a Colony , however approximate to ! the mother country . The sufferings which too often befal tht-se poor people , are greater than would be I generally Wlieved—not on shipboard , for there they are now well-cared for , owing to tho striciuoss with \ whiclvtho wholesome regulations of tho "Passengers' Act ' are enforced ! by the Government Emigration i Agents hero and ia Canada . It is on their arrival in tho Colony thai tho s : ru ^ le rcaily commence ,-, a I BtrUfcgle not confined to the moro labourer , but more or less participated in b \ thd small capitalist to whom , reference was first mado . i ' He must search for his Land in a country , to the localities of which , its soil and seasons , he is a perfect stranger ; and when selected , however judiciously , ho mu ^ t live upon his own resources until the , ensuing hai vast . He must erect his own log house , clear and fence his laud , wasting valuable time , and ! spending much his already too scanty capital unprofitably , from inexperience in the work he has undertaken . ; j The tormor , on landing at his doslined port , applies for work , which if unattainable on the spot , he J mnst seek for oLsewhore , or starve If without fundti , ho id provided by tho Emigration Agent appointed by Government , with a free passage in a steam boat to wherever he chooses to go , and then every resource but his uwu labour ceases . It may not be irreleveut to mention , that thoimoney iliua expended in Canada in 1842 , was £ 13 , 161 ; and in 1843 , nearly £ 9 , 000 ; Emigration in the latter year having fallen off 51 pt-r cent , as compared with the former : a plain proof of the generally helpless condition of our emigrating brethren , aud that the distrobS alluded to is lar from being exaggerated . The Agonts will now proceed to state as briefly as possible , those remedial measures whieh they are sanguine enough to hope may removo in a ^ reat degree , if not altogethor , the evils complained of . Il has betn observed in tho first prospectus' that the Agent in Loudon has ior sale upwards of 600 ; 0 OO i Acres of Land in different parts of Upper and Lower Canada ; and it is in a great degree owing to the i exceedingly low terms on which tho Agents are authorised to dispose of some of the best ol these properties that they are euabled to offer to tho consideration of the public the followipt ; scheme -. — J Tho statement marked A shows , that with no greater capital than \ £ 7 T , a single mau , forming one of a pahtv of Not less than ten families , or PRINCIPALS , will acquire in fee simple , or Freehojd Lan « i to the extent of 100 Acres . That for a man and his wife , or two isingle men , the capita ! required will be only £ 87 , or £ 43 lOd . each ; with one child , £ 92 5 s ., or £ 30 1 . 5 s . each ; the amount per head decreasing as the numbers in a family increase . i It has been remarked , that with so small a sum at command as £ 100 , the agriculturist would not ( better his condition by emigrating ; aud it is presumed that the reasons givun are a sufficient , evidence of the fact . The plan now submitted goes , however , to prove that even this small stock of money can be ! made . not only ample for all useful purpusos , but will loavo a fund to njeet contingencies . Tno statement marked B shows in like manner the capital required to entitle the Ecrgrant to 50 Aoreb of Land in Freehold , and this scale is intended lo apply to thoseiwho depend upon tho assistance of others , partially or wholly , to enable them to emigrate . | ' To this table the Agents b ^ p . ak the especial attention of those who support , Emigration from benevolent views . Looking at ihe brightest side of tho picture , it has been , to tho poor man , merely a transition from labour in o ' . ie country , 10 labour in another , with the proispeet , if successful , of saving in the course of years , sufficient to procure those advantages which ate herd offered him on setting foot in-J Canada . Not only will he be excrupi from the prospect of want , provided of course he be prudent and ; industrious , but he will bo spared thoao hardships and privations heretofore inseparable from the change oi homo and country ; &ud secure to himself a state of comfort and indepeaden . ee beyond auy expectations ' he could over have ventured to indulge in . ¦ The public may fuirly n quire fome guarantee beyond the mere character or the Agents , that they have the power as well as the inclination , faithfully ty carry out that which they undertake to perform . \ i Such a guarantee they are prepared to offer , and in a form which ; they trust will be approved ; of i They propose— . That when the purchase is ma < ie , the money contributed by each family or principal shall be placed ! in the hands of the bankers of tho Agency , in London , in the joint names of the Ageut in London , and some ono appointed by the Settlors , to bo applied in the manner following , ; viz .: — ' , 1 . To pay the purchase money of tho Land so soon as the Title Deeds of the same , legally executed in the Colony , are delivered over to thu Purchasers . \ 2 . To defray the Passage Money of the Settlors in the manner usually practised m Emigrant ; Ships , and " ) 3 . ' To repay all other disbursements undertaken by tho Agents , so as , but not before , the Settlers , ' shall have arrived on their location , and are therefore in actual possession of the settlement prepared i for them .

      ! ' ' ¦ ¦ lor ^ s or Life . —The most calamitous result o ! tbe Rtor a on this coast—as far as we have learned—was at the island of Glontarf , where a man , named Christopher C \ omwell , and his Bon—a lad of twelve or thirteen T , ears of age—lest their lives . Cromwell was a very industrious man , and well known to bathers . He rented the island , and kept boats which plied from the opposite wharf , und , during the bathing season he received a good deal of money . He had a small , but sir mgly built wooden honse on the island , in which he and his Bon William usually Blept , until winter Bet in . At ten o ' clock last evening , the policeman on duty missed the house , and , as soon as he could , reported the fact at the Etation-houBe . An extra body of men were forthwith despatched to the scence of the catastrophe , but neither Cromwell nor bis son could be seen . j The house , with its inmates and fttrnibare , were evi-: dently carried away by the sea , which bad swept over i nearly the whole surface of the island . At two o ' clock

      to-day the vicinity of this calamity was tfcronee i with persons . The wife of CrerorweH , -with -two young children , were present , and tbe paor crearure conld not be persuaded her husband and no were loat . It was expected that , in about an hour afterwards , when the tifle fell , tie bodies would be found . —Several small pleasure boats have been wrecked in the Bay of Ctontarf . —The Jupittr steamer , from 'GHtsgow to DnMin , put into Bangor , in the county Down , where she landed all her passengers—many of whom have arrived in town . Tbe vessel escaped injury , and iB expested in tee river this evening . —A great ^ eal of tbe large timber growing on tbe property of Hr . "Vernon , Mr . Gresham , * a , atone the northern coast of Ciontatf bay is biown down . —The Dodder , tbe Darsle , and the Tolkd rivers rose beyond the level of their banks , and fl ) oded the lower grounds in several districts . —We are gratified to be enabled ' o stcte that no injury has been done to the Drogheda railway , notwithstanding the tremendous action of the sea on the embink&eatfi at

      Clontarf and Maiahide . The Kingstown railway was aot affected by the storm , which was from a point that could not do it injury . The late . ? tofm in Irei-aM ) . —Balbrigsa . v . —The storm ra ^ ed here wjjh considerable violence , from tea o ' clock p . m . till two o ' clock a . m . it was one continued hurricane : but we are pleased to be able to add , that the damage done to the town and neiehbenrhood ia comparatively light . A bath-house , situate on an eminence near the Srrand . had its windows aud doors blown in , and the inmates bad barely time to escape bffore every portion of the house was completely inundated . Some idea may be formed of the power of the storm at this place when it is stated that the bouse abovementioDed , thongh more than 20 ( eoi&bmi high-water mark , was found next ( yesterday ) morning to have the floors on the basement story covered with large rocks , searack , = aad , Sc" -., which bad been driven in by the

      sea . SKERBJES—At tills place , too , and along the coast frcm BalbrLs : gan , tbe siorm has lefi its mir&s . Fishing boas huddled togeib . tr and dismasted , or otherwise injured , hedges and palings blown down , and ' -oases half-unroofed , fully attest the dreadful ravages . Ia the eariy pnrt of tbe night a vessel was observed abont a miie off tbe coast evidently putting in to the harbour for safety j as she approached , hovrcTt-r , she was taken by a strong south-east wind , and , de-pile of all the exertions of the crew , was driven cui again . Whiki there remained thesii ^ hte ^ view , the fate of the brig was watched with the

      most paiafnl interest from i he shore ; she occasionally appeared in sight still stroggl >» against tbe elt-ments , but at length ran upon a n « jge oF rocks midway between Skt ? rr ; es and Balbiiggan , where she was abandoned by the captain aud crew .

Throughout the night tho greatest fears were entertained for the safety of the vessel and crew , evidently placed in a perilous posiiian , which tbe morning but tso unhappily

      realized ; for at an esuciy hour yesterday portions of the cargo , consisting of palm oil . & . C ., were discovered lying along the coast at curl real places . In a short time afterward ^ it was found that somo of the cre w had succeeded in getting to shore , from whom the melanctoij intelligence was learned thai tbe captain of ihe v . s-el , his wife , ana one of the crew had been lost , and the tiuth of this statement wa 3 confirmed by the bodies of the two last-mentioned persons being washed on short almost at the same moment . The body of the captain has not yet been found . Tne re = ^ el belonged to , or sailed from . Halifax ; but we have not yet been able to ascertain its name , or where bound to . Tbe cargo is in care of the coastguard .

Agrarian Mubdeks in Tippkbab . v . < fhe southern papers contain appalling accounts of murders and outrages in Tipperary , arising , like moat of the crimes perpetrated in that coantry , fr « m disputes about tbe possession of land . The subjoi ned statement is copied from the Tipperarg T indicaf , vr : —We bave to record two dreadful murders—perpetrated within a few miles of us—the cause originating in that prolific source of discord , dissent ion , * nd bloodshed—land . One

      of these murders was perpetrated on Tuesday , on the ¦ wood-rangei of Mr . Garden , of Barnane . This man bad been engaged in serving la-w processes on the tenantry on tbe BsTnane estate , and had accompanied Mr . Garden in one of his recent visits to the teoantrv . He was shot , ' It appears , on Tuesday , having been missing Bince then—tat nothing was known of his most wretched fate tat Wednesday , when he was discovered dead neat 1 fee wood of Barnane . He must bave been engaged in bis usual business at the moment selected for deprrvhig him of life—going through the wood , unattended and alone . HiB name was Tim deary . It appears he was speaking to Mr . Carden ' a gardener about two ir three . o ' clock , on Tuesday , after which he was not heard of till found as above stated . He served notices on of the few

      to ^ it some tenants a days before . The tenants , we are Informed , owed no r ^ nt , nor wouM any be due till tbe 1 st of November . To show the appTehensions of danger under which the wretched man laboured , we may mention that he carried a doublebarrelled son and a case of pistols : he was deprived of these arms by the persons by whom he was murdered . His head was shockingly mutilated , broken in both in front and behind . Tho greatest discont » n " . has prevailed for a considerable time amongst the tenantry on this pr . 'perty . Nothing can cquil the dissatisfaction they exper ' encerl it the prospect uf being dispossessed of their holdings , and to thie it is said the murder is attributed . The other victim was a man of tho name of Maxwell , a diiver or care-taker on tb « property of Mr .

A rumour : i 1 bo prevails that a man of the name of < Jiirke , Clonmel process-server , was murdered in his own house ; but of the correctness of the run oar we have no means of judging . Such acts as these are well calculated , no doubt to br ; t > £ disgrace and ruin , and the vengeance of an anetred Providence on the land . They are diabolical in the extreme . Causes are , to bs sure , assigned fur them , and srievous and oppressive are the Bufferings of tbosa Who have no prospoct bt-fore them but the cold cbaritv of the world , and who

      expect every moment the hand of the exterminator to push tt em from the doors of their father * , but murder is no remedy for the evils of which the afflicted , heartbroken wretch complains , who sees his family abom » 4 «» be sent ahroad as outcasts , to add to the abundant pauperism of whiib .

      CosFLAGHvnon ai THE Kew Cnoss Railway Station . —One of the most fearful fires that has occurred in the neighbourhood of the metropolis for many years took place at a late hour on Monday evening , at the works attached to the station of the Dover and Brighton Railway , at New-cross , resulting in the destruction of property to an enormous amount , tbe principal buildings and works being totally destroyed , and vast damage done to the adjicent property . The spot in -which it commenced was a loft immediately over a large octagonal brick building , used as a store-room in tbe engineering department . This store-room was fitted up as a painters' shop , and was upwards of eighty feet in breadth , having in its centre a lantern roof , upwards of seventy feet in height . It occupied a larce area , and

      stood westward of ibe station , being approached by a gateway on tbe London side . Beneath was a repository for tbe locomotive engines and carriages , and it contained at the fma four or five of the former ( each of which , at a rougn estimate , is valued at £ 1 , 800 ) , and also a number of tenders . The works were all shut up , and , the interior of the station was in a state of animation in consequence of the approaching arrival of the King of the French * he having previously s goified his intention of proceeding to Dover by this route . While the workpeople were engaged erecting the tent on tbe platf rai for his M jesty ' s reception , they were startled by cries of "Fire , " which sabstquently proved to come from tha watchman . , On turning toward the octagonal building they discovered to their

      astonishment the flames kindling in the upper part , among the paint stores . A general alarm was instantly raised , and an admission being obtained , the fire was found to have attained such a hold of tbe combustibles contained on the fljora that it was morally impossible to prevent it from consuming those depar tments . The police , of whom there wtre a large number present , both of tbe company ' s and metropolitan forces , directly exerted themselves in every possible way to prevent the flames extending . From that moment the conflagration was fearfully rapid . Tbe fUmes rushing thiongh the skylight into th « lantern , from whence they burst forth with mcrecs-jd fury . Before there was time to send information of the outbreak to the engine-stationB , tbe ascent of the flimes had

      completely illuminated the whele of the me'ripolis , cacsmg a complete turn-out of all tbe engines - Long before any of them arrived , although not a moment was loat , every portion of tbe " octagon" was in flameB , tho floor and the roof had given way , and fallen upon the locomotive power beneath , waich also speedily fell a Bacrifice , notwithstanding its almost flre-proi f construction . Previously attempts bad been made to extricate this valuable property , but unfortunately without the least beneficial effect Tbe rail , way police aud workpeople , seeing that there was not tbe least chance of saying anything this building contained , directed their efforts to preventing the flameB from reaching another building , termed the fitting house , and catjwntet ' a shops . These , although under one roof , were more extensive aa regards

      depth and length , than the other . They rere upwards of one hundred foet long by nearly forty wide , and were contiguous to the warehouses and other buildings attached to the line . Although every person exerted himself to tbe utmost , the fire continued to progress and defied all human efforts to stop It- The consternation now created was indeed beyond description ; for it could be too plainly perceived that tbe last building would share the same fate as the previous one . The whole of the engine force of the metropolis had reached the scene before ten o ' clock , the fire having broken out of the roofs , and through nearly every window in tbe Octagon and fitting departments , and were roaring with an awful sound . At tfee same moment , the molten lead was running from the cornices round the blazing property , exposing every one to great danger . Neverthe-

      less , every man exerted himself with the greatest intrepidity , and by that means a long range of premises , used for the erection of carriages , was saved . Foi two hours and upwards the fire continued to ragewith awful violence , although its progress had to a certain extent been stopped . The immense mass of icflsmmable material tbat tbe two buildings contained , with the heavy floors and roofs , caused the conflagration to be of frightful extent , the flimes rising to such a great altitude as to be seen from many miles distant , attracting some thousands of persons to the spot . His Majesty the King

      expressed his regret at the calamity . In consequence of tb& airtaal of his Majesty and his subsequent departure , very little could be gleaned respecting the oiisin of tbe fire , the chief portion of tbe 'fflcials of the Tiilway having to accompany the august tarty to its destination . We ascertained from them that tho loss is partly insured in two or three offices . It is impossible to conceal the fact that some suspicion overhangs tho origin of the fire . It will be recollected that a month or two ago a considerable destruction of property took place on the same line and , near the same spot . On that occasion a long line of shedding and several carriaie * were consumed . The company entered into an investigation , which led to no satisfactory result . The total amount of the damage done is computed at upwards of £ 25 , 000 .

The chief buildings , contain- I ing the priocipivl portion of the Company ' s property , ^ and embodying the factory in whieh the machinery was t constructed , were nothing but a mass of smouldering c ruins , presenting to the eye of the spectator a scene t which could only txelte a feeling of the deepest regret t I

It was , however , dearly daybreak before the flames could be said to be safely extinguished .

He stopped me , and held a pistol opposite to me , in his right hand . He presented it at ray person . He moved his hand several times to and from bis body There was the usual noia « about the dock at the time . My impression is , that

That person sezsd him , and I ran to the depot for assistance . It was almost btlf s minute after he presented it when I called out .

There she was caught by the passers-by , who , by throwing her on the ground and rolling her in a flmnel garment , succeeded in extinguishing fire . The injuries of the parties , though severe , are not likely to prove fatal . Miss Jones , who was t . he most severely burnt , was on Sunday able to bo removed in a car to he Infirmary .

It appears that two gentlemen , named Graham and Barcbell , hired a pi » 3 on from Hayhurst , of Great George ' sstreet , for the afternoon , and . that , about a quarter after five o ' clock , they , accompanied by two ladies , were being clnvt / u at an extremely rapid rate down West D rby-sireet , and came in contact with Robert Hill ' s

      car , No . 174 , which was passing at the top of Pembrokeplace . Tbe collision was such as to cause the most serious apprehensions for the lives of the parties .

In passing over seme banks of gravel atones , they fell ,

      cutting thc-mseivea in a shocking manner ; but they ' a « uin arose , and proceeded to tbe At b ; rcom Arms , at Stanmore , where they wero secured , the poor animals .. leing in a rieploraWe state .
