The New Zealand Journal notices the recent formation of a society in London, called the 1 * Artis zan’s Institute,” the object of which is stated to be to “ associate together with proper regard to classification, competent and skilful workmen. The British, Foreign, and Colonial employer, has it thns in his* power, at aDy moment, to obtain the exact quantity of labour he is in need of; and as long as a demand exists for skill, the Artizan’s Institute, by means of combination, searches for. and finds room, for the developement of that skill. It might be the fitting task, by a sort of convetse process, for ao Emigrant’s Institute to create the demand which the Artizan’s Institute is so well fitted to supply ; to apply itself to the creation of English markets in the wide and healthy Colonial fields of the British Empire, where English wants, and capital transplanted, would occasion a never ceasing demand for English laboar and capability upon this subject.’-' ■ What weapon of vraris an angry lover like?—A crossbow (beau.)
