      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 j essentially useful , not only to the unemployed olasses in this country , but also to those who are possessed < of some capital , though insufficient in amount to secure , of itself , their permaneat welfare and prosperity . It will be admitted that Emigration has heretofore been conducted on a system productive , in the l aggregate , of much individual hardship and distress—and especially to { the Emigrant Of the poorer ' class ; 5 for on arriving at his port of debarkation , he has found himself , generally speaking , with little or no 7 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 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 , j to afford the requisite information to those who seek it , and it is this 'deficiency which it is tbe aim and \ object of the Agents effectually to remedy , ] There are 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 Agonts can offer 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 expence 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 circumstances . Such a capital , on tho contrary , would be found not only sufficient on the plan proposed by the Agents , as hereafter explained , but at the same timo , immunity from the usual hardships and privations would be secured , and to the prudent and industrious a comfortable and permanent competentcy ia tho future . ¦! 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 . Tho sufferings which too often befal these poor people , are greater than would be generally believed—not on shipboard , for there they are now well-cared lor , owing to the strictness with which the wholesome regulations of the " Passengers' Act" are enforced by the Government Emigration Agents here and in Canada . It is on their arrival in the Colony that the struggle really commence ? , a truxgle not confined to the mere labourer , but more or less participated ] in by tho small capitalist to whom reference was first made . 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 , he must liyo upon his own resources until the sensuing harvest . He must erect his own log house , clear and fence his land , wasting valuable time , and spending much of his already too soanty capital unprofitably , from [ inexperience in the work he has undertaken . j The former , on landing at his destined port , applies for work , which if unattainable on the spot , he must 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 . It may not be irrelevent to mention , that the money thus expended in Canada In 1842 , was £ 16 \ 161 ; and in 1843 , nearly £ 9 , 000 ; Emigration in the latter year having fallea 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 exaggerated , j The Agents will now proceed to state as briefly as possible , those remedial measures which they ar sanguine enough to hope may remove in a great degree , if not altogether , the evils complained of . It has been observed in the first proapeotus' that the Agent in London has for sale upwards of 600 , 000 Acres of Land in different parts of Upper and Lower Canada ; and it 1 is in a great degree owing to the exceedingly low terms on which the Agents are authorised to dispose of some of the best of these properties , that they are enabled to offer to the consideration of the public the following scheme : — Tho statement marked A Bhows , that with no greater capital than £ 77 , a single man , forming one op a party of not less tkan 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 , tbe capital required will be only £ 87 , or £ 43 10 s . each ; with one child , £ 92 5 a ., or £ 30 153 . 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 better his condition by emigrating ; and it is presumed that tho reasonsi given are a sufficient evidence of the fact . The plan now submitted goeB , however , to prove that even j this small stock of money caa be made not only ample for all useful purposes , but will leave a fund to meet contingencies . The statement marked B shows in like mauner the capital required to entitle the Emigrant to 50 | Acros of Land in Freehold , and this scale is intended to apply to those who depend upon the assistance of others , partially or wholly , to enable them to emigrate . j To this table the Agents bespeak the especial attention of tho 3 e who support Emigration from benevolent views . Looking at the brightest side of the picture , it has ) beent to the poor man , merely a transition from labour in one country , to labour in another , with the prospect , if successful , of saving in the course of years , sufficient to procure those advantages which aie herd offered him on setting foot in Canacla . Not only will he be exempt from the prospect of want , provided of course he bo prudent and industrious , but he w < ll be spared those hardships and privations heretofore inseparable from tho change of home and country ; and secure to himself a state of comfort and independence beyond any expectations he could ever havo ventured to indulge in . I The public may fairly require some guarantee beyond the mere character of the Agents , that they have the power as well as the inclination , faithfully to carry out that which they undertake to perform . ' Snch a guarantee they are prepared to offer , and in a form which they ttust will be approved of They propose— ... That when the purchase is made , the money contributed by each family or principal shall be plaoed in the hands of tho Bankers of tho Agency , in London , in tho joint names o ^ the Agent in London ,. and some one appointed by the Settlers , to be applied in the manner following , viz .: — 1 . To pay the purchase money of the Land so soon as the Title Deeds of the same , legally executed in the Colony , are delivered over to the Purchasers . \ . 2 . To defray the Passage Money of the Settlers in tho manner usually practised in Emigrant Ships , and : 3 . To repay all other disbursements undertaken by the Agents , so as , but not before , the Settlers shall have arrived on their location , and are therefore in actual possession of the settlement prepared for them .

      ANOTHER APPEAL ON BEHALF OF THE

      COLLIERS AT SHEFFIELD . THB INHABITANTS OF SHEFP 1 BLD -A > "I > THE NEIGHBOURHOOD . GBSTLEMEH ASD TBLLOW TOWKSKEN , —Wfi nowadlfor another demonstration of that serae of yistiea and humanity -which characterise the generality of the population « f this to-srn . One portion of omr leHow cre&taes & » stffaring the most acute distresses — -distrasses which have so acted on their moral and Intellectual character , that their ignorance has become a bye-word . This state of things ought not to exist . Ihey * renow making an tffjrt to place themselves in & Bomeirh&t adequate position "with other classes of labourers : that they may achieve this object , tee , on their behalf , earnestly pray that yon 'will render them

      that assistance -which * patriotic asd well-educated xninfi , cannot , -we think , deny them . We return onr sineere thanks to those trades and private-individuala who bare already tendered them such well-timed and prompt assistance . Tear sympathy was never more seeded , nor perhaps more richly deserved , tftv in thiB instance ; and we think assistance -wasneTer more gratefully acknowledged by the suffering parties . Their struggle is not yet over . They still need youi aid , « ud -we hope that yoa will con&me to observe that liberal course of conduct you have commenced , until they hare attained their object Remember , fellow -working men , this is a struggle for those rights and privileges of labour of "Which this class of individuals have been so long debarred- Come , then , one and All to the Colliers help .

      WeinmWy call iheatteni 3 on ofQiemiflcUe dasSBB Vo ihe subject dow in agitation . ~ Do sot for a moment suppose that you are not interested in this matter ; your interests are immediately connected with * theirs . Ton are the distributers of -wealth . By your mercantile occupation yon become possessors of the surplus capital of the labourers . Success or failure of your own calling greatly depends on the condition of the labouring classes , when they are distressed . Ton know by experience the consequence . You can lose nothing by making them comfortable . They held yen up in the position you sow itand . It ia injustice , tyranny , and authority -which XQUst change their features . We do not -wish to aggravate the feelings of any party ; we win carry on the dispute in as calm and generous feeling as the nature of the subject -will allow . The -workmen and other parties on their behalf have attempted , three several limes , to arbitrate the nffeir with their employers , but the Coal Masters have refused to do so . They

      appear set to have anticipated the amount of sympathy and assistance a generous public have and still conticne to award to the Colliers . They determined on starring « i » m into compliance -with their -wisaes , &nd hitherto hifS itisd according to their determination . They have already expended much money in collecting vasaalB , for they are unworthy the same of men , and stowing them as prisoners is the Pits , and compelling them to remain there by a force of soldiery , both of -which are unconstitutional . Neither does the price appear to be the objection ; for they are paying a f&r greater price to the men , who do not understand the business , than onf own Miners ever wish lor . This is snch a glaring outrage on the Colliers' rights , that -we think the public cannot look upon it with indifference ; and -we sincerely hope their masters -will sot be allowed to thus trample on the poor Colliers , without incurring the public displeasure All we ask is to support them u far as you have means , and then success -will attend their efforts .

      On behalf of the Committee of Associated Trades , ( combined for the special purpose of assisting the Celliea ) . Thomas IT . Stocks , JOHH BLAKHtXST . Parties duly authorised -will wait upon yen for donatons . Committee Boom , Punch Bowl Inn , July 26 tb , 1844 . 2 I 1 SEBS JJfD COIiTEBS versus THE M . ABO . V 7 S OP XOSD 05 DEBBT . —A public meeting was held on Thursday evening last , July 25 th , in the Serial Hall , Whitechapel , in aid of the oppressed Pitmen , and to " expose the tyrannical , cruel , and overbearing conduct of the Coal Owners , and more especially the detestable

      proclamation of the Maxquis of Londonderry . " Mr . Jones , a weaver , was unanimously called to the chair , and opened the proceedings in an able , and energetic address , which -was -warmly applauded . He concluded by calling on Mr . William Mitchell , one of the Miners sow on strike , to state the present position of the men . Mr . M . came forward loudly cheered asd said : the strike his sow lasted sixteen weeks , during which ftP ' e the men had struggled against penury , want , and starvation . We struck from necessity sot desire ; we "were told we could set stand out & * week , that we Were already at the starvation point—not very honourable or creditable of our masters—after our having struggled and laboured hard for twelve months , to . tell as the reward -we fead reaped was starvation—( hear )

      Starvation had not been their only suffering ; they had been deprived of thelx homes , and by the most relentless ruffianism turned into the highways with-their Wives and families to _ perish under the hedges ; yet amid all their suffering sot one single dishonest act JoA been perpetrated by the men . Afford them but the scanty pittance of 2 s . 6 d > per -week per family asd they -would stick out for twelve months rather than submit to the basB dishonourable terms of the masters — -flood-cheers ) . The masters had obtained a few men , navigators , &c to go down into the mines ; but they even failed to keep their engagements -with these men , and the men became dissatisfied , packed up their traps and some of the bedclothes from the lodgings provided lor them , and desamped—( cheers ) . Lord Londonderry

      had also succeeded in obtaining a few " foreigners " from Ireland , by deluding them to come over and "work on his estates ; but -when Paddy came asd found , instead of-working on the estates he had to -work bdovo the estates , fifteen of these Irish "foreigners ' also decamped —( loud cheers)—and tbis Tery day ( said Mr . Mitchsll ) 1 received a letter stating that a -whole colliery of black-legs had become disgusted with ' the treachery of their employers , and had struck asd likewise decamped—( -very great cheering > Mr - Mitchell here lead { amidst groans and hisses ) the letter of the Marquis of Londonderry to the shopkeepers of Seaham . Did sot that breathe " paternal regard" for the men ? When the strike commenced , the shopkeepers of Seaham Harbeur -were told by the Coal Kings , if they

      lefused credit to the men—when the masters gained the day they would give tickets to the men , and thus compel them to deal-with them—and thus introduce the baneful ssd Illegal trncksystem—( hear , hear ) . The emissaries of the Coal Kings had set a false , report abroad that the men of the Londonderry Collieries had gone in to werk . This had caused alarm , and some little confusion , ani created great excitement—the men rushed to the Collieries -were the men were said to hava gone in to-work : but finding the intelligence untrue , it bad caused a great reaction in favour of the men ; those Who had tamed their backs on the Miners now gave three fcearty cheers . At Seghill they bad succeeded in getting a lew Welshmen ; but Taff > finding the use that had been made of him , tamed his face home-ward again , asd

      they had tho great pleasure of accompanying them a portion of the -way on their road back to Wales— (^ reat cheering ) , p&r . Mitchell here recounted , most lucidly , the Misers' grievances , bat as our readers are well acquainted with them , we have sot deemed it necessary to testate them ] . Mr . Mitchell said they wished to better their condition , but they -wished to do so honourably . The masters bad declined to meet them . The Coal Owners combined to protect ssd increase their property ; if it -was legal and right so tcdo , it -was equally legal and right fur the men to unite to protect their property—their labour—( cheers)—and they -were lesolved to do so . They had tried every honourable means to effect an amicable settlement , but the masters hoped to starve taem into submission . They would faiL

      She men of Sheffield had acted spbly by them , asd had resolved to raise ten thousand pounds , if necessary —( cheers )—and London was capable of 4 oing much more , and would do it if properly organised—( loud cheers ) . Lord Londonderry , in his " paternal regard , *' had caused men of eighty years of age , to be turned , out rf their homes , who had worked all their lives to support him is luxury ; and women , who were -within a few flays ol their confinement , to undergo the pangs of labour ¦ nsder the hedges—( shame , shame }—while he , seated on horseback , was an eye -witness to this brutal ruffianism . Ihe men deserved their sympathy , and , in the name of Justice , he demanded their snpport—( great cheering ) Jilt Sherrard , secretary to the weavers , rose to move file following resolution : — " That this meeting is of opinion that the conduct of the coal owners is mean

      ssd dastardly in the extreme , Especially the turning the men , their wives , and families out of their houses asd homes . This meeting is also of opinion that the conduct of the Marguis of Londonderry , in issuing his most shameful sad detestable proclamations » aich are , and ever Trill be , a disgrace to the language in "which they are -written—is highly ^ eprehennble , and deserving of the severest censure ; and that this meeting hereby resolves to follow the glerious example of the sun of Sheffield , by so organising the trades of London , asd raising ten thousand poandB , if necessary , is sup port of the men of the Korth .

      CAPTAIN WAKNEIl ' S DISCOVERY . We received the following report of the proceedings the other day at Brighton from Lsrd Brougham . We are obliged to his Lordship for his prompt attention , bat bad rather that his style of addressing us bad been a little less familiar . We have an objection to liberties being taken frith us ; bat we mast , we suppose , allow much for that lova of freedom which has always been one of the salient points of Lord Brougham ' s character . " Brighton , July 20 , 1841 . " Dear Punch , —I believe you know my opinion of the invisible shell . I thought it a piece of humbug , and , hating all humbug , perhapB on the principle of two of a trade never agreeing , I came down , determining to blow up Captain Warner if he did not blow up a vessel , according to the pledge he b , ad given to tbe public .

      " Having reached Brighton , I took up my station on the battery , and amused myself by lying at fall length on the wall , making my white bat a support for my telescope , and reporting to the people round me the result of my observations . Two was the hour fixed for the experiment . Two came , but no blowing up . Humbugs are never punotuaL They never keep their appointments , though , by tbe bye , if I could get a good appointment now , I think I should keep it " I , of course , got rather impatient , and spoke my mind pretty freely . They told me it t 90 k time to bring tbe ship up to her moorings . Pooh ! All humbug , my dear Punch . As if they conld not have hoisted her gaff , put her mizsn in the wind , and let her luff on the larboard tack , till she got athwart the bows of the

      steamer . I said as much to the bystanders , who agreed with me , with the exception of a meddling fellow of a naval officer , who waB , of course , in Warner ' s pay and put there to puff up the invention . I offered to go myself asd bring qbt up , it they would allow me . I also offered to go and remain in the vessel while Warner tried to blow it up—so certain was 1 that the whole offiir was a hoax ; but even this they would not agree to . At last , tired out by importunities , without which the people would have seen nothiDg at allfor it was only by sticking to the thing as I did that got Warner to make the attempt—a noise was heard , the vessel went away , aDd the thiDg ended in smoke * as I always said it would . The ship turned right over , so that the daylight was visible by the apertures in her timbers , and I saw through it of course immediately .

      " The ship sunk , true enough ; but , my dear Punch , 111 just tell you bow tbe thing was done . It was either done by a rope , or else by something that floated up to tbe ship which pulled a trigger—that would be easy enough of course—or an electric battery , or an airgun , or a quantity of gunpowder make to act by Ryan's process from the bottom of the sea , or a submarine shell —or something or other . At all events it's a mere trick ; anybody could do it . I could , ac all events , if the proper material ! were supplied to me . If you mean , my dear Punch , to assume a sort of scientific air upon the subject , put iu the following paragraph , which I should have put into the Penny Cyclopedia , if the work

      had not been completed : — ' Tbete is no doubt that all submarine Baits acting in coalition with a pure phosphate , and coagulating cbvmically wi * h the sublimate of marine potasb , will create combustion in nitrous bodies . It is a fact in physics ; that sulphurous acids , held in solution by glutinous compounds , will create igneus action in aquiferous bodies , and therefore tbe pure carbonate of any given quantity of bituminous or ligneous solids will , of themselves , create such a result as that which Captain Warner produced on Saturday by bis alleged discovery . It will , therefore , be seen that we gain no new fact—that there is , in reality , nothing new—and that the w . hole is rather a semi-optical delusion than a great truth in science . '

      " There , my dear Punch , print that , and you will gain the credit of knowing something about everything . That ' s tbe way I got my reputation for all kinds of useful knowledge . " Ever , my dear Punch , " Your devoted friend , " BROUGHAM . "

      THE MaRQEIS Or LONDONDERRY'S PITMEN . There has been a great turn-out of the Marquis of Londonderry's Pitmen , for which incident—deny it as be may—we have little doubt that the Marquis is uncommonly grateful . And for this reason : it affords him an opportunity for the exercise of his literary powers ; and that tbe Marquis ia smitten with tbe fatal charms of pen ink and foolscap , who that baa read the noble writer's Histories and travels can deny ? Hence , the Marquis has , from Holderness House , sent to bis Pitmen several epistles full of " really paternal advice !" The result of this is , the following answer from the pitmen to tbeix anxious father , Londonderry . " Durham , July 22 . " Marquis , —We have received your letter that calls upon us ' to leave the Union and return to our work . ' In answer to this we say— ' O , Marquis I leave you your uuion , that coals may be cheaper , and the pitmen ' s labour more abundant . '

      " You charge us with combining . We , Marquis , charge you with the like act . We combine with one another , that we may have the value of the sweat of our brows ; you belong to the Coal Trade Union—to the Union of Masters , banded together to keep up the pric 9 of coals ; to stint the supply of tbe market , that it may always bring a certain price . What , tben , wealth may combine—but labour , not ? "You conjure us 'to look upon tbe ruin we are bringing on our wives , our children , our county , and —the courdry ! ' We , in reply , conjure you to consider the misery , the wretchedness , the suffering , that every winter is brought upon the London poor by the Coalowners' Union , that , obstinate for high prices , makes firing an unattainable luxury .

      " You say that you will come among us , and ' proceed to eject us , ' taking especial care that ' the civil and military power shall be at hand' te support yon . O ! father ! is it thus you will sLow yeur paternal love to your pitmen's little ones . " Come among us . Marquis ; pray come , and never dream that we shall want' the civil and military power * to settle the differences between us . No ; fear not , after a little talk , we shall agree in amity and love . You will leave your union , we will leave ours ; and , in the hope of this , dear father , " We remain , your affectionate Children of the Pit " [ HERE FOLLOW MAN ? SIGNATURES . His Lordship is expected to start forthwith from Hoidernesa House , for Sunderland .

      THE SCALES OB JUSTICE—C 0 TI 1 NGHASI WEIGHT . William Wilton , a Merton omnibus driver , is charged at Union Hall , before Mr . Cottingham , with a gross assault on a lady named Murrell . He ia fined £ 3 and costs . ' —Immediately paid . Henry Shepherd of a Carshalton omnibus , on the same day , and before tbe same magistrate , is charged with furious driving ; and is—committed for a month , to hard labour . Next comes , before the same magistrate , John Linton , a butcher of the Waterloo Road , who enterB a man ' s house , and commences a criminal assault on a modest married woman , " using the most disgusting language . " Mr . Cottingham expressed his surprise , that the woman ' s husband did not " criminally indict the man ; " and then , as a wind-up to such astonishment , it SictB a £ 5 fine upon the offender ; which , of course , 1 b—Immediately paid .

      Thus , you may strike a woman ( as it was proved Wilson did ) a severe blow on the bosom , and tbe charge for the same is £ 3 . An assault with a criminal intent is £ 5 . But , furious driving is incarceration and hard labour for a month ! O , brutes , with money ! assault ] a woman as much as you like—but don't over-drivel

      favourite maxim , which is , " buy In the cheapest market and sell in { the dearest . ' Tbe working men well know the meaning of " buying their labour in tbe cheapest market , " and has to well pay for it . But does not tbe above circumstance speak volumes ? Are tbe people of this countty to be another time gulled and deceived as in the days of Reform ? I believe not ; and I think I am borne out in that belief , or why , not the League come forward and bold their meetings publio , instead of ticket , ticket , ticket : and if a working man happens to get into their meetings , although be has bought a ticket , and asks a single question , he mast be immediately tumbled down stairs and kicked oat of doors , as was the case in this very town a few months ago .

      The very struggle that ia now going on between this society and a master manufacturer of Padsey because he wants to give from fifteen to twenty per cent leas than the Bradford masters , and which has cost the men about £ 600 , is caused by one of these same liberal free trading cheap bread men . " By their fruits ye shall know them , " and they are well known , and ihence the folly of ever attempting to get the working classes of this country over to their hypocritical cry of cheap bre ? d and free trade . May the hard-toiling millions never be deceived by them , and may they never Test satisfied until they have what every Englishman is fairly entitled to—a fair day ' s wage for a fair day's work . \ YourB respectfully , i Squire Autt . Manchester-road , July 23 rd , 1844 .

      Bank Robbery . —On Thursday an extensive robbery was committed at tbe Birmingham Town and a District Bank , in this borough . It appears that a young man named Stanley Warner , respectably connected , was : employed in the cashier ' s department of the above establishment , and has absconded with a large sum of money . It appears that on Thursdays it has been his practice to go to dinner between two and three o ' clock , and as usual he left for that purpose withont any particular notice being taken of his departure . The clerks , however , finding he dj ^ -i not retnrn at the usual time , began to wonder at tC e cause of his delay , and it was almoBt instantly diBeov ' Wed * bat twelve £ 100 notes were missing from a , 'irawer to which Warner had access . He baa since x *» een arrested , and underwent examination before the ^ Magistrates at Birmingham on Monday .

      THE ANTI-CORN LA . W LEAGUE , AND LOW WAGES . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . SIR—It is a most notorious fact , and well known amongst the working classes , that these Anti-Corn Law brawlers out for free trade and cheap bread , are the greatest grinders of the poor working men , in regard to reducing wages , that ever disgraced a faction calling itself liberal , for while they are one day sitting as chairmen of tbe Anti-Corn Law banquets , and giving theii £ 50 and £ 100 to tbe Great League Fund , ( and all as they say for tbe purpose of filling the bellies of the poor working men with cheap bread )—they can go direct from their hypocritical gatherings and reduce the workman ' s w . irres they have in their employ .

      Now , Sir , facts are stubborn things , and as I always like to deal in facts , the straight-forward old Eaglisb way of doing business , allow me to give you one feet in corroboration of what has been above stated , and let tbe whole host of the Anti-Corn Law League gentry deny it if they can . There iff in Bradford " at present a society called the Wool Gotnbers Protection Society ; it bas been established about twelve months , and in that short space of time has expended no less a sum than upwards of

      £ 2 , 000 in opposing those master manufacturers who were determined to reduce wage ? , and others who were determined not to giro as much for their work as their neighbours were giving who bad to sell in the same market with themselves . This sum of money had to be almost entirely collected from the hard earnings of the poor working men themselves , and let it be remembered at a time too when trade was never known to be so good , and , 08 one would naturally suppose , profits never better .

      Let us now enquire who have been the parties so determinedly liberal as to cause this society to spend such a large sum in protecting tbeir own industry ? Allow me to tell you , Sir , and to tbeir everlasting shame and disgrace be it spoken , they have all been , to a man , these cbeap bread and free trade men . This is free " trade plenty ; " but it ia according to tbeir own
