We copy the following advertisement verbatim from the Sydney Morning Herald, Sept, 22 :- TO SETTLERS.
THERE being upwards of 60f) men without employment in Nelson and Wellington, New Zealand., and who cannot get away, for the want of means, Dr. Udny intends to make engagements with them for such persons as will pay their paslage up, at low wages for a term of years. Letters from settlers ou the subject, post-paid, to the care of Mr. Campbell, Surgeon and Druggist, George-street, will be attended to. Please state terms, and time, and how much will be paid for the passage of each and his family. An early application is required. BsIT Some good female servants may be procured. This Dr. Udny, we suppose, must be some obscure Colonial Jeremy Diddler, who has resorted to this expedient to raise the wind. We would recommend this adventurer, whoever be may be, to avoid speculations so likely to prove unprofitable, and to attend to his patien's, if indeed, there are any persons so unfortunate as to be under his charge. We can confidently assert, that as regards the southern settlements, his statement is a wretched fabrication ; and now Capt. Fitzroy is recalled, so far from any settlers leaving New Zealand, we are prepared to expect a very large immigratfolT from' theneigntioufing colonies, as 'soon as confidence is established by the measures to be adopted by the Home Government. The last arrivals have brought several persons hack who had left this place to better their condition in the neighbouring colonies, and who have returned in the firm conviction that New Zealand is the poor man's home, and isgieatly to be preferred as an abiding place, even in its present depression, to any of the colouies in the South Seas,
