Totil, 10. — \'nrnl oal Military Ha:ette.I Kahvkil Din Ska to Messrs.

Perry, in the Arjyll Hotel, previous to their departure from the Clyde to New Zealand. Mr Luintricn filled the ch dr. a id Italic* MUehell ollii iatej ax Croupier. There wm aomc-thing more i i thin 1 inrrting than is often meant tml intended liy the courtesies of fricndahip being extended to , those who depart for a fort-ig j country, in so . fur h* the estnbJubtuent of tlu-ne young men in this infant colony may yet lead to very important results to the trade of Glasgow. Mr. Perry it •on of Dr. Perry of this city, nail goes out r.s Consignee of n.?rrhr.ndise to u large amount, under the ntispicfs of lorne of the fi st Glasgow merchants; and it is confidently hoped that the emigrant may be the mean* of opening up n eonorxion wnirh will tell br officially on the in-creating manufactures and commerce of his un-tirerity. Mr. Matbieson it well known na a very successful ship-'uillder in Port Glasgow, and hit object in proceeding to New Zealand ,j ia to form a ship-building establishment there, r I where wood is cheap and good for the u*es of the trade of the neighbouring colonies. A fptrwepkij ; ago hr built a line barque of 22i) tou register,named tbiyf’tfile, in which Mr. Perry and the boil.ler mean lo transport themselves and their means to the land of protniscdn the Southern Sc »•; and it is worthy of remark, that 'lie ix the tir-t n vessel which will Dave the ulmrr* of Grot d j Bntuiu, built exp.e.wly for New /-alar.d. Therwill, in ah likelikoid, be employed in the tatde betweentherolonic* mimed, VailDiemeu'sLund,r New S. u!h W all*. Port Phillip uu.l South e Ault;trnha. Mr. Ma‘hic*on hat already been, e | for ii short period, in AuMixli.i, and hai learned enough of u colonist's chance* ot .idvanrcnirut in iiie. to iu.iuce him to leave very fair project* at home. The trade between Greut Britain and New /t*land is already beginning to he a very promising one. In the course of twenty-four month*, a similarnumber of ships with pns*eii-gars and goods, hrvc l?it our shores for that colony, three of the»e from the Clyde, \uthe /law it AJenJ*mt, BU^on,., and JfnJ-I, aud UHunt, aud the rcmaiuiog aud larger uutnber i i frotu the Thames. It has beeu objected e j that the Directors in Londou hnve evinced a diapotitiou to monopolise the uew trade to t . thcuscivcs, a result which is not to be won* e dered at, when we are aware that the Direc-j i lory contains sonic of the leading shipowners |f . of the metropolis. Uut if the trade ia really a lucrative one or likely to become so, the Glasgow Merchants have the remedy in their ownhands, hy forming a company of thrir own: and if the schema is feasible, there Ia surely enouyh of copi'.al and fi.terpri*' within our bounds to cany it into execution. Had Scotland been in a condition to form an F.a',1 India Company at the time ol the establishment of the EngllshCotnpany.in the rcignof Queen I.li/abuh. no one who looks to the proverbial prudence and per*everaucc of our couutrymen ran doubt that it would have been the means of vusliy aggrandising the northern part of the kingdom. After nearly completing her loading at the Hroomie* law, the hat* dropped down to PortGlasgow, and will, we be'deve, sail for her destination in the course of the present week. At
