i i ¦—?—IN the Prospectus which the NORTH AMERICAN LAND AGENCY has already published their views , it is hoped , have been sufficiently explained as regards the promotion of Emigration to Lands and Estates , purchased through its intervention in Canada , &c > The Agents confidently submit , however , that the same views , more fully developed , may be made essentially useful , not only to the unomployed 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 prosperity . j It wi ' l be : admitted that Emitcration has heretofore been eonduoted on a system productive , in the i aggregate , of niuch individual hardship and distreps—and especially to the Emigrant of the poorer class ; for on arriving at his 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 j he would bo roost likely to obtain it , —while he who possessed some little capital has met with similar 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 Beak it , and it is this deficiency which it i the aim and ! object of the Agents effectually to remedy . 1 There ar ^ hundreds in Great Britain anxioua to emigrate , but who , from want of sufficient meana are deterred from , or unable to do so . To such the Agents can ofl > : r facilities heretofore uuthought 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 Laud , and the unavoidable preliminary expenditure thereon , the expenco of conveyance thither , and his support , however frugal , until his first crops were gathered in , would absorb more than his entire capital , even under the most favourable j circumstances , j Such a capital , on the contrary , would be found not only sufficient on the plan proposed by the Agents , ias hereafter explained , ba . t at the same time , immunity from the usual hardships and privations would be secured , aad to the prudent and indaatrious a comfortable and permanent oompeteutcy in the future . \ . But tha groat body of our emigrating population is composed of persons having no capital whatever * generally withotit even the mean 3 of paying their patsa « e-money to a Colony , however approximate to ; tho mother country . The sufferings which too often beial these poor people , are greater than would be generally believed—not on shipboard , for there th . jy are now well-cared for , owiagto the strictness with which tho wholesome regulations of the " Passengers' Ace" are enforced by the Government Emigration I Agents here and in Canada . It is on their arrival in the Colony that the struggle really commences , a struggle not confined to the mere labourer , but more or ies 3 participated in by tho small capitalist to whom ! reference was first made . | He must search for hia Land in a country , to the localities of which , its soil and seasons , he is % I perfect stranger ; and when selected , however judiciously , he must live upon his own resources until the | ensuing harvest . ! He must erect his own log house , clear and fence his laud , wasting valuable time , and spending much j his already too scanty capital unproliiably , from inexperience in the work he has undertaken . \ The tor mer , Ion Landing at his destined port , applies for work , which if unattainable on the spot , ho mu ? t seek for elsewhere , or starve . If without funds , he is provided by the 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 own labour ceases . If may not be irrelevant to mention , that the money thus expended in Canada in 1842 , was iUiijlGl ; and ia 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 iar from being exaggerated . The Agents will now proceed to state as briefly as poabible , those remedial measures which they are sanguine enough to hope may remove in a ftreat degree , if uot altogether , the cvila complained of . It has bem observed in the first prospowus' thai the Ageut iu London has for sale upwards of SO& , O 0 O Acres of Land in different parts of Upper and Lower Canada ; and it 19 in a great degree owing io ; n . e exceedingly low terms on which the Agonta are authorised to dispose of some of the best of iheae properties that they are enabled to offer to the consideration of tho public the following scheme : — The statement marked A shows , that with no greater capital than £ 77 , a single m » n , forming otm ov a party ov Npx less than ten FAMILIES , or . PRINCIPALS , will acquire in fee simple , or Freehold Land to the extent of 100 Acres . That for a ' man and his wife , or two single men , the capital required will be only £ 871 or £ 43 10 s . each ; wish one child , £ 92 5 s ., or £ 30 15 s . each ; the amount per head decreasing as the numbers in a family increase . It has been remarked , that with so small a sum at command as £ 100 , the agriculturist would not bolter his condition by emgrating ; and it is presumed that the reasons given are & 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 purposes , but will iea . ve a fvsnd to meet contingencies . Tno statement marked B shows in like mauuer the capital required to entitle tho Emigrant to 50 * Acres of Laud in freehold , and tms scale is iuti .-ndt-d to apply to those who depend upon the assistance ot others , partialtj or wholly , to enable them to emigrate . To this table the Agents fcwspoak tho especial attention of those who , support Emigration from benevolent views . ! Looking at the brightest aide of the picsura , it hus been , to the poor man , merely a transition from labour in one country , to labour in" another , with tho prospect , if successful , of saving in the courso of' years , sufficient to procure those advantages wmch a ? e here offered him on setting foot in Canada . . Not only will ho be exempt from the prospect of want , provided of course he be prudent and industrious , but h « W > 11 bo spared those hardships aud privaiionn heretofore inseparable from tho change of homo and country ; and secure to himself a aiato oi comfort aud independence beyond any espcctationB he could ever have ventured to indulge iu . The public miy fairly require eome guarantee beyond the mere character of the Agents , that they havo the power a-d- well as the inclination , faithfully . to carry out thas which they undertake to perform . Such a guarantee they aro prepared to offer , aud in a form which they trust wiil be approved of They propose— ' < Taat when the purchase is made , the money contributed by each family or principal shall be placed in tbo hasidd of the bankers of the Agency , iu London , in the joint names of the Agent in London , and some ono appointed by the Settlers , to be applied 111 the manner foJlowiua , viz .: — 1 . To pay the purchase money of tho Land so soon as the Titb Deeds of the same , legally executed in the Colony , are'delivered over to tho Purchasers . 2 . To defray ! the Passage Money of the Settlers in the manner usually practised in Emigrant Ships , and : & To repay all other disbursements undertaken by the Ageuta , go as , but not before ,. the Settlere shall have arrived on their location , aud are therefore in actual possession ot the settlement prepared for thorn . ¦ JNorth American Land Agency , RICHARD NORMAU , No . 2 , New Broad Street , London .

ihey were . DecetTed in this expectation , the Opposition rallied , and soon found itself strong enough to propose seTeral plans of reform . After Vainly enDea- » ou >» u £ In 1853 to forward a plan tendiug to replace the four orders established by the CoueiUution ry two legislative Chambers , the Liberal party succetced in again presenting the same project to the diet of \ 840 , after considerable agitation in the intervening year . This plan , which proposed an electi-re system of a Teiy democratic tendency , and extending the elective Iranchise widely among the people , was repulsed by three orders , and defended only , but in the most obstinate manner , by the peasant order . It was laid , consequently , before a committee , in which , contrary to every expectation , it
was approved by a majority of one , and therefore ordered to come before the States at the next session . On the one hand the King declared himself ob 3 tinattly resolute against all change ; on the other , the re-iMaiiCe threatened to assume a still more determined form . Among the dynasty pany , however , were also many who saw that the time for granting some concs ^ it / iis to the Liberal party was come , and who were ready to consent to the substitution of the two Chambers to the four orders . Under these circumstances , the late King of" Sweden died , ani his death augmented in * cmo degree the hopes of the Prosores ^ irt party . The Diet convoked upon the acccM-ion of Oscar had at last to decide definitively upon the fate of the project of 1840 . But , althongh
ihe Opposition journals sff-cted to regard its acceptation as ctriain , it was r » jeeted on the 28 . h of Au ^ j . la > t , the nobility and clergy voting against it ; but the bourgeois ordtr , which had rejected it in 1840 acc = p td it in 1844 , and thus passed over to the Reiormers . Tbpprojr-ci of ihe-reform , consequently , in spi * o of its Ul-: ra-libi . -ral pretensions and exorbitantly democratic tendency , has already made progress in the country . " Tms hist should net bo lost upuu ; he Government , " continues the Presse . " The prosrcc 3 cannot be emirelj put down—it niu 3 t t jr . apn soouer or later . I' is necessary tkeu to dm-ci n wiih moderation aud wisdom , tor it would bo a ; j error and a misibrmne to endeavour to oppose
u Gb-dnaitiy . " " Under this attitude of the . four orders , ail eyes and aii hopes , " says the Presse , "aro turned upon Kititc Oscar , as a mediator and coneihdior , - aiifl it is to be hoped that in virtue of his prerogatives he wiil lay before tbo present D ; et a b . il which may pass airecly by mutual concessions . As Prince Royal he was the favourite of the people . ana us has now mounted the throne under circumblbtic-.-s where he may nsehis influence to advantage .

Wo cannot better dose this exhibition of the follies and fanati isaa of these dupes Of Superatitiuu , than b y givm * the following extract from Moshein's Ecoleeiastical History , which under the bead pf the 11 Tenth Century , " presents a fearful illustration of the effects of similar doctrines in that age : — " Among the opinions which took possession of the minds of men , none occasioned such an universal panic , nor such dreadful impressions of terror and dismay , as a notion that now prevailed of the immediate approach of the day of judgment . This notion , which took its rise from a remarkable passage in the Revelations of Si . Johu , and had been entertained by some teachers in the preceding century , was advanced publicljby many at this time , and spreading itself with amazing rapid ity through the European provinces it threw them into great consternation and anguish . —They imagined that St . John had clearly foretold ,
that after a thousand years from the birth of Christ , Satan was to be let loose from his prison , Anti-Christ to come , ' and the destruction and co&flagratioii of the world , to follow thogfl great and terrible events . — tlenc » prouigion 3 numbers oi' people abandoned all their civil connections and their paternal relations and , giving over to the churches and monaslries all their lands , treasures , and worldly effects , repaired with the utmost precipitation to Palestine , where they imagined that Christ would descend from heaven to judge ihe world . Othtrs devoted themselves by a soieniti aud voluntary oath to the service of the churcheBj convents , and the prisiheod , whose slaves they became in tbenu'St rigorous sense of that word , performing daily heavy tasks ; and all this from a notion that the Supreme Judge would diminish their sentence , and look upon them with a more favorable and propitious eye , on account , of their having made themselves the slaves of his ministers .

In many plaoos , temples , palaces , and noble edifices , both public and private , were suff-red to decay ; they were deliberately puiled down , from a notion that they were noloDger of any use , since the final dissolution of all things was at hand .

' ' I OYERLA . KO MAIL . —INDIA AND CHINA . The Bombay mail of the 1 st of October has reached ' London . The intelligence wnich it brings is uot ! very r * -markable . The chief intelligence relates to disturbances ia thesouthfewi Mahratia country , which has Oecu somo time in a disturbed eta'o . Some of the malcontents se > zed twoflf the strong hill forts , where they hoisted the standard of revolt against the Raj ^ of Kholapore . They consi-ted chi . ilv of Arab troops , who placed themselves under some bold leaders , and bade defiance to the Raja and hie allies . A force was
sent by tho British authorities to disperse them . It consisted of 50 artilieryuien and troops , amounting to about 1 , 200 men , under the command of Colonel Wallace , of the Madras army . An attack is Baid to have taken place on one of the forts , in which the rebels defended tlu-m . -elvtjs stoutly with their long guns , Si ) nl 8 SOldiera wero wounded on the side of the Briihih . for the hill forts from their position are difficult of access . The British wero subst-quently firing and throwing shells into the first fort , which is situate about tweniv five milts from Belgaum . The other is eighteen miles further iff
The Bombay Government was on the alert in making arrangements for having its disposable regiments ready for any emergency that might arise . Lieut . Colonel Wyllte , of tne Slat Bombay Native Infantry , who had taken his passage by the steamer , was ordered to stop aud join his regiment . The steamers were in Bombay harbour under orders to be ready to remove the troops at a moment ' s
notice . Strious riots took place at Surat oa the 29 ; h of August , in consequence of the popular dissatisfaction on account of the increase of tho salt-tax from half a rupee to one rupee ( 23 . ) per maund of 8 ulb . Troops were promptly sent there by tho Government , and tho disturbances ceased . Tne Supreme Government subsequently ordered , by virtue of instrucuon ^ from the Court of Directors , that the increased duty should be in the Bombay Presidency ouly tho sum of one quarter of a rupee ( 6 a . ) per maund . This arrangement has apparently pacified the people , although there were petitions made agamst the tax .

Romantic and affkcting Tale . —Tho Constiiutionnel of Tuesday comaiu 8 the following , the truth of which it guarantees . The facts , divested of tho embellishments of ihe narrator , are as follow : —In the early part of the mouth a workman and his wife , returning to their lodgings at about ten o ' clock at night , found a young female lying insensible in the street , and having a baby in her arms . Like good Samaritans they raised her up , and , after obtaining some refreshments for her , had the satisfaction of seeing her fully restored to life and consciousness but , on addressing her , discovered that she was a foreigner , and unable to understand what they stid . They took her home , and treated her with nreat kindness , and then set about the means of
ascertaining who she was , and what had brought her to the state ia which she was found . In a day or two , amongst the friends of this kind couple , who , being acquainted with foreign languages , visited their lodging ia tho hope of being able to converse with her , came an old soldier who had been long in Spain , and spoke Spanish well . Ou addressing the female in that language , her eyes lighted up , and ehe told him that she was a native of VaUnoia—that about two years ago ( she is now only twenty , and very beautiful ) , she listened to the seductions of a young foreigner , aud , loving him , had at length committed a fault which compelled her to quit her father ' s house , and fly with him to Madrid to conceal her
shame . At Madrid she remained with her lovar several months , who one day told her he was compelled 10 go to England on urgent business , but would bo iu Paris on tho 1 st of tho present month , and , presenting to her a purse well filled with gold , gave her the address of the hotel at which he was to be found , and requested her to meet him there . She started for Pans , but before she had arrived had ppent most of her money , owing to her in ^ xperienoo in trav limn and & dtl&y on account of the illness of her child . This , however , was not her greatest miaiortuue ; aho had lose the address of the hotel and had no clue by which to find her lover . As long as her money lasted she remained at a small ho ' eJ , devoured with grief , and when her pecunary means wore exhausted , was driven into she street , where she had fallen from weakness , the result of hunger . It was in thia stato that she was found . The worthy
couple , after having heard her sad narrative , took her to the Spanish Embassy , where she was interrogated by M . d'Aguileira , the Charge d'Affaires , and iu a few days , her account , boiny oonnrtnou by letters from Valencia-, in reply to inquires M . d'Aguileira had made , he presonted her with a sufficient sum for her journey home , and the Chevalier Roubio , the Spanish Vice-Consul , accompanied her to the diligence , in which wero two Spanish ladies , on their return to Spain , and who , on hearing a few words from M . Roubio of the history , kindly undertook to attend to her on the way , Every inquiry had previoualy been made to discover her seducer , but in vaiu . The poor girl , although anxious to receive her father ' s forgiveness and blessing , could hardly be induced to leave Paris , until it was suggested to her thiit her lover was dead . She would not allow the idea of ber having been abandoned by him to enter her mind .

some parts . A meeting took place in London , on the 13 ; h of October last , of persons favourable to this enterprise , when a series of resolutions were adopted on which tha sooiety is based . A board for the management of the society was also appointed ; the officers of which are Mr . J . A . Etzler , president ; Mr . C . F . Stolimeyer , treasurer ; and Mr . Thomas Powell , Becretarv . We have received a copy of the prospectus of the society which we would have readily given but for ita great length ; copies however may be obtained by application to Mr .
