NW Zea £ aot > . — Advices from ¦ Wellington , New Zealand , furnish & report of the openin g of the fourth , and last session of the Provincial Council , and the address delivered on the occasion "by the Superintendent , detailing the progress of the settlement . It is alike satisfactory as regards public vrorks , finances , and immigration . Important roads have teen opened to connect the town with the most productive districts , and , although 50 , 000 ? . has been expended in this manner during the past three yeara out of an aggregate revenue
of 80 , 000 ? ., the Government would commence the present year not only free from debt , but with a balance to its credit . Immigration has steadily continued , and the increase of population from this cause was 486 in 1854 , 890 in 1855 , and 1002 last year . In the system of opening up roads , the plan isjpursued of encouraging the labourers to become small landowners , and hence , on every trunk line , at easy intervals , townships and agricultural settlements are previously laid out so as to affoxd facilities for the purchase of small allotments .-
—Times . Fishing Companies . —Several gentlemen interested in cheapening the food of the working classes , and others desirous to improve the social condition of the fishermen , have united into fishing companies , and there is every prospect that , -within two or three months , two companies at least , upon limited liability , and with , capitals of 10 , 000 / . each , will have a considerable number of decked boats , sailing from the Tyne , and manned with . Northumberland fishermen , engaged on the Dogger Bank in the deep-sea fishing . In the present dearness of butcher ' s meat , with a prospect of the price being still further enhanced should the murrain exhibit itself here , it behoves us to develop to the utmost extent the immense resources for human sustenance which , we have
in our seas . The Affair of Alderman BIagnay . —The report of the law officers of the Corporation of London on the affair of Alderman Magnay was brought up arid read before the Court of Common Council on Thursday . The framers of the document say : ^— " It apperrs that a judgment by default was pronounced against Alderman Sir "William Slagnay [ by the Appeal Court of Brussels , Correctional Chamber ] , overruling the decision of the Tribunal of First Instance , and . condemning the said accused to three years' imprisonment and to a fine of 30 00 f ., specified in the said decree . With respect to the
effect of this conviction upon the qualification of the gentleman in question as a member of this h . on . court , we are unanimously of opinion , after a careful consideration of the provisions of the 12 th . and 13 th of Victoria , cap . 94 , sec . 9 , that a conviction by a foreign court is not within the meaning of that statute , and that Alderman Sir W . Magnay is not disqualified from holding the office of alderman by reason of the judgment of the Appeal Court of Brussels of the 27 th of February last . " It was agreed , after some opposition , that the report should be printed and circulated among the members of the court , and that the consideration of it should be postponed till the next meeting .
Cotton Supply . —A numerous meeting of merchants axid manufacturers was held on Tuesday afternoon , in the Manchester Town-hall , for the purpose of forming an association for the promotion of the growth of cotton all over the world . Mr . Cheetliam , M . P ., presided , and among the gentlemen present were Mr . lladfielu , M . P ., Mr . R . N . Phillips , M . P . j Mr . Bazley , Mr . M . lloss , Messrs . J . Pender , E . Ashwortb , and J . Simpson . Mr . Bazley , in the course of his speech , remarked that we are now paj'ing not less than 10 , 000 , 000 ^ per annum more than-would bo paid for our cotton if the supply Were unfettered . Resolutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting were passed .
Sale of St . James ' s Theatre . —Mr . Robins , on Tuesday , put up for sale by auction the St . James ' s Theatre . The first bid was 10 , 000 ? ., offered by Mr . E . T . Smith . This advanced to 19 , 900 / ., at which the property w « s knocked down . The vendor ' s reserved price , however , was not realized , and the theatre is therefore still in the market .

London , Friday Eycning , April 24 , 1 S 57 . The business of the Stock Exchange has been so limited that any record of its proceedings seems to be superfluous . The Bank returns will be possibly better this week , but the pressure for money in Lombard-street continues without abatement . The funds are supported at present by daily investments ; the speculation , if any exists , is of a downward tendency . Money loans have ranged from six to eight per cent , during the week upon stock . The effort to g-ct off Russian railway stock lias proved abortive . It will not float , and tlie state of the money market in Paris is not more
encouraging . A strong attempt was made last week through tho " Credit Mobilicr" to assist the launching of the Russian scheme , but tho government of France , knowing that it could not afford that the " Credit Mobilier" should go to the wall—even for " his Majesty of all the Russias "—has put in a veto upon the scheme . Foreign stocks arc generally heavy , and very inactive . French and Belgian railways generally dul ) . Canada Trunk shares and Great Western of Canada Railway and tlieir several preference debentures are asked after , and gopd investments made . Riga shares have , been depressed during the wqek ; Ceylons are also very much depressed in price . Sambre and Meusc , and Antwerp and Rotterdam arc looking better .
Eastern Counties arc much the same . Heavy shares , such as Midlands , South Westerns , London and IVorth "Westerns , Great Westerns , and Leeds hang fire , but it must l ) o acknowledged are not any ' -worso than last week . In JointrStock Banks there has been a little business clone . Ottoman Banks and Bank of Egypt have improved about 10 s . to 15 s . per share . ' Minos are not at all improving . Great "VVheal Alfreds are still' very declining . 'JL'he ' . talk of a call of Ji .. por share has depreciated those shares below their value . Whcal Trelawny , Mary Anne , "Wheal Edward , West Scton , and Par Consols , have been inquired , after .
