NEW REGULATIONS RESPECTING EMIGRATION.

It has been notified by tho nj;cntn of the Emifjrnlion Commissioner's, tbnt the pauper system, .'vhich lifts hitherto di«oournged the growth of «e|f- > caned on the part of the government emigrants, and wasted the resources of the colonies, is to be abandoned. Immediately after the gold discoveries it was pointed out that the entire principle upon which these matters had been conducted was urroneoiis. While the emigrant nt the commonccmrnt of a career, requiring only honesty and /rnlti itry to insure unlimited prosperity, was degraded hy « mode of charity which taught no obligation to repay the help, ao that it might profitably return at a future period to assist others in like need, tho proceeds of the land sales, vhich iihould have been applied to public works, wen continuously drained.

Upwards of three hundred losbcs wore announced in Lloyd's book, with the sacrifice of seven hundred lives. Nearly all the losses have been sustained by vessels ranging from ninety to five hundred tons. An Awkward Discovery. — Information has been received from a source in which wo placo the utmost reliance, but which we are not at liberty just now more directly to indicate, that a government officer has been round the manufactories in our immediate neighbourhood within the last few dajfß, and that ono of the effects of his visit has been the placing of the Ordnance mark upon some machinery on the prcmiics of one of our most eminent firmi. The machinery in question, it it m\id, was intended for the Russian Government. — Greenwich Observer. March of UuriNuinNT,— An Americnn denier in ready made linen advertises his shirts and chemisaUes under the delicate appellation of " male and female envelopes.'*
