The Times Advocates Emigration to New Zealand.

The Times, alluding to the state of agriculture afc Home, says :—"The hands, to till the land are erery where decreasing, and the agricultural reports tell a sad tale of weeds and of land generally in bad condition, all for want of "lstyor, which is now too costly or not to be got on any terms. Where are the men to be found is now the cry in many quarters where man was a weed half a century ago. The only thing that increases is the income derived from trade and manufacture. Happily a large portion of this overflows from the seats of industry in-a constant and beneficial stream, recruiting the exhausted strength of the land. It is the town that enables the soil to retain its full strength. But this does not prevent the upcropping of a vast, necessitous crowd asking for employment—-that is, for life on pleasant, easy, and dignified terms. They must follow the old rule of tracing the Nile to its source. They see many a life-giving stream of food for man and beast flowing into this country across the broad seas, and they must go where the food cornea from. New Zealand, from all accounts, can accommodate a good many more, and is a very healthy, very pleasant, and extremely beautiful country. Its only troubles are that it has too much of what we want, land and produce; and not enough of the people we are ready to send them."'
