That ity was greeter than at any of don tense issedeps. Per is calling together the member admit own society, whose sentiments they were well acquainted with, it was possible to judge before hand of the character of the meeting•, but on this occasion they had invited the whole of the trades of London, all of which were not perhaps prepared to go so far as the Amal gamated Society did, while some went even further. (Chem.) He believed that the ohmmeter of that meeting would add a dignity to previous meetings. The Amalga mated Society had been forced into the position it now occupied. What the request was first made to the em ployers that they would discontinue overtime it was not thought that it would have met with se great an opposition —that the employers would have angered the long-existing connection between them and their labourers to be broken up upon it, or that it would have led to the enunciation of such doctrines on the relttion of labour and capital as had been issued in the circular of the employers. (Hear, hear.) Keay years ago the abolition of overtime and of piecework was considered necessary ; but, in consequent* of a conference of 60 delegates, from all pars of the country, who concurred in that view, the cue maim council of the meeting consulted its members on the whales, whoa, by a majority of 4,000 over 20 systematic maim end piecework was denounced es evils improper to be eintised. The council then, merely administering the veristra of the panda( generally, issued • circular, dated Dumber 24--theugh to reality bend in November—in whisk it was stated that the mea desired the abolition of spasmatis overtime, nil of ppise week. That circular hal been moth aimemlem. (Hear, bear.)

Nothing of the bind was intended. (Heir, hear.) It was meant to slaty merely to the members of the Amalgamated Society, ithrit less new led by the Quentin council.

The question of legislative rubes had attained an undue importance : it had been made mach of by the late ministry, who, finding itself la the jaws of death, made " reform " • buttress to moped its fallen fortunes. (Hear.) Mr. Bright had thought proper to say that Lord Derby bad pledged himself against all reform, but these who had read Lord Derby's speech on Friday night last would see that he said he would support the reform of all abuses.

The remains of this highly gifted man were on Wednesday consigned to their lest resting-place, in • vault on the north side of the churchyard of Bromham, a village lying half-a-mile to the left of the turnpike road leading from Devizes to Chippenham, and four miles from the former place. The stone covering the poet's ashes records the deaths of two of his children : Anastasia Mary Moore, born March 18, 1813, died March 8, 1829 ; al.° her brother, John Russell Moore, died Nov. 23, 1842, eged 19 years." When the popu larity of Moore as a writer is considered, it is a matter of surprise that more persons were not present at the funeral, but beyond the idlers of the village, who usually congregate on such occasions, there were but few, and these for the most part from the neighbouring towns of Devises and Melkaham. The hearse, containing the body, and followed by one mourning coach only, contain g-tt. H. Brabant, Req., Id D., the Rev. H. Drury, D. C. Kenrick, Esq., and the representative of H. F. Talbot, Esq., personal friends of the deceased, arrived at the church soon after one ; the service was performed by the Rev. E. T. Edgell. The coffin, covered with black cloth, land bearing the simple inscription, " Thomas Moore, born May 28, 1779, died February 25, 1852, aged 72 years," was lowered into the vault. The spectators quitted the spot, and the churchyard soon assumed its usual quiet ap pearance. SURREY VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS. Yesterday a meeting of the central committee appointed to superintend the general management, and to prepare the rubes fur the Surrey Volunteer Rile Regiment, was held at the Bridge Houle Hotel, London bridge. Cap tain W. S. H. Prreitor in the chair. Amongst those present were H. Drummond, Esq., M.P., J. W. Evelyn, Esq., M.P., Captain Evelyn, Captain Wood, Maurice, Esq.; Charles Sumner, Esq., 8.L., &c. The CHAIRMAN said that in his opinion the beet mode of conducting the bushier would be to call on the secretary to read the resolutions which had been prepared, and then it would be open to any gentleman to propose any amend ments or to offer any suggestions that might appear tit and Prlli r. b i e Smear:mire then read the resolutions, 12 in number, referring to the organisation of the regiment, the rules for carrying out the object in view, and the conditions tinder which the members were to be enrolled. Mr. DRUMMOND then moved that the resolutions be adopted. He said that some persons were of opinion that it was very unchristian to go to war. They did not, how ever, deem 4very unchristian to defend their houses against robbers, or their pockets against pickpockets ; but if they had a great national housebreaker, like Louis Napoleon, it was quite unnecessary to take arms to defend themselves against him. Had Christianity ever recommended men to lay aside common seise ? (Hear, hear.) There was one part of Christianity which some gentlemen kept out of view in their calculations—that was, a sense of duty. (Hear, hear.) It was the duty of men, at all hazards, to defend their wives, their children, their servants —in • word, all those who were under them—but, above all, to defend their country ; and in he Bible there was no precept more clearly laid down than this. (Hear, hear.) The only question for them to consider was, whe ther the means they were adopting were—he would not say the best means—but whether they were • means for attaining this object. (Hear.) He remembered an old Scotch clergyman beginning • sermon in a way which was well worthy the attention of some persons in this country. He began by saying —If you have no com mon sense, there is no use in your reading the Bible. (Laughter.) The Bible pre-supposes common-sense, and if men had not common-sense, reading the Bible would never give it to them. (" Hear," and laughter.) The present was not • question of taking arms against housebreaking, or against domestic violence—it was • question of taking up arms against foreign violence and aggression. (Hear, hear.) Now, if they did sot believe that they were going to be attacked, they and not think of arming themselves, in this or any of way. But it was very odd, if they had say doubt on this point. lie beheld accumulating daily, —ant; merely in one country, but throughout Europe —a meahluatioa of demote, determined that in no country la the world should there be any thing bat military tpenmay. (Hear, beer.) And, were they to sup that these people were so desperately in love with d, as tolet her alone. This country was • thorn in side—its very existence put them to shame, and they weld rest till by some means or other they were enabled to attack her. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the lannatMs of the Surrey volunteer corps, let them not run away with the notion that they could ever be made suffi ciently e ffi cient to resist regular troops. They never would be able to do any such thing. He, happily, anything of what war was ; still less did he know anything of what it was to live in • country that was invaded. (Hear, hear.) But any o ffi cer who had served in S t ain or Russia, or, above all, any one who ever versed in Algiers, could recount the frightful scenes which had been enacted in these countries by an invading army. It was because the Duke of Wellington and Sir C. Napier were fully alive to these horrors that they were desirous of saving the people of this country from being the witnesses and the victims of similar atrocities. (Hear, hear.) They must hear in mind that in the conduct of war no horrors were comparable to those endured by the people of an in vaded country. (Hear, hear.) Rest assured, they might, that no quarter would ever be given them. (Hear, hear.) By the laws of war every person out of uniform who in dicted any injury on a military man was forthwith hanged. Did they suppose that if they permitted this man and his army to land they would not burn down every town, ravish every woman, and murder every man they met ? Most unquestionably they would. The advantage of this corps would be, not in resisting the enemy—for that they could not do—but in banging about his dank. Their tactics must consist in lying about cottages and farms for the purpose of annoying the enemy, and in this wry they would powerfully assist the regular army . They would never be as efficient as the regular militia regiments, but, above all, it was absurd to suppose that with their 28 days' drill they could meet men who had learned the art of war in 28 years' service. (Hear, lieu.) Doubtless, it was • very amusing practice to go out deer-stalking. (Laughter.) Probably some gentlemen present bad gone out of a morning and shot a hare. (Laughter.) Had any of them. however, attempted to carry it on a whole day (Hear, bear.) It was rather heavy, was it not ? (Laugh ter.) Nevertheless, be could tell them it was not equal to 80 rounds of bell cartridge. It was perfectly clear that a power of physical endurance was what they had mainly to acquire. A mere pin -shootingability would not make a man a good rifle soldier. (Hear, hear.) And if he might be allured to judge from some of the gentlemen present, perhaps he might suggest that • diminution of corporeal dimensions would be a most desirable object to be obtained in any system of training. (laughter.) As to further details, bwirever, that was not the proper oc casion to dwell • Rum He would, therefore, sit down by w that the very day on which the in ert:tail Oahe plan would be simultaneous with a de dandle of sabered peace and high-fiourishing compli ments to England. (Hew. hear.) Mr. PALMER semmded the resolutions. Mr. R. FEW, la petting • question to the chairman re lanes ea the ma whisk Lot be made ea the time of those whose esissirdoss wen of a boa:nees ohmmeter, and who wen diamond to wad diemealvem its the age, said that be had best iadirmed, w whet be mmalimed m be lingoes *mak% authority, thee the priasipal WNW in the military calmer Pruner had hem kr some time met, " Retribution for Waterloo." He wintarther informed that the French army had been making tbe roads elf Zasiamd a portion of their study. The CHAIRMAN sold Oat three eempaslm would be formed—viz , one at Croydon, one at Cl.Clapkam, and a third at Bermondsey. According to his present view, it would be sufficient to give three hours in the week to drill ; and, as the summer months were apprnaching, he thought that it would not be difficult to spare the time for this purpose after the busy business hours of the day. In reply to other questions ' The CHAIR .lAN stated that the convenience of the volunteers would be consulted as far as possible in arranging the meetings of the companies. Ile suggested that Epsom Downs would be a convenient plaeo for the general meeting ' of the regiment, and that there should not be, as in the old times, champane dinners, but • plain cold collation. (" Hear, hear, " and laughter.) Mr. I)RUMMOND suggested that they should particu larly qualify thempelves to measure distances, and to become quick runners—(laughter)—for sometimes • man's life de pended upon the speed with which he could run. (Laughter.) A discussion then took place with respect to the colour of the uniform, the description of rifle to he used, and other matters of detail ; but nothing was decided on these points. The resolutions were then agreed to, and the ordinary vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. FORLION SPIRITS.—The Customs authorities have, on the application of several houses in the wine and spirit trade, given directions that when casks of spirits, racked or vatted, and drawn off into smaller casks in bond, shall remain in the warehouse at least three months from the date of the operation, the duty be eherwed upon the quantity ascertained on the re-examination of the realty, provided the deficiencies which may be ascertained and ap por'ioned to the new package. do not exceed the regulated allowanees which are acknowledged or identified be law, or the regulation. of the acetic*.

IRELAND. DIIPLIX, MARCH 4. The note of alarm has been sounded b 7 the con servatives to prepare for a general electron, Lord Derby, it is announced, being resolved to dissolve parliament, rather than encounter the motion of Mr. Villiers, certain awkward questions which Mr. Roe buck intends to propose, and other breakers wbick he sees a-head. Should the general election be forced on the country just now, the Irish constitu encies will, I fear, be found in a sad state of con fusion. The Kildare election has been fixed for Saturday week, the 13th inst., the nomination to take place that day, and the polling on the following Monday. Lord Naas is carrying on an active canvass, but if his opponents bestir themselves with even ordinary diligence, he has not the slightest chance of suc cess. The opposition to Mr. Whiteside in Enniskil len is progressing; but in this case Lord Derby will not lose a vote should his Solicitor-General be even beaten, as Mr. Collum is also a stanch conservative. The election for Trinity College takes place on Tile-- day next ; the name of the opposing candidate has not yet been mentioned. Cork election will cone, off on next Monday week, the Itith inst. The can didates are Mr. Wm. Fagan, Mr. Wm. Drew, of Queenstown; Mr. Alexander M'Carthy and Mr. Vincent Scully, both barristers. Daniel Claocey, of Charleville, is also reported. A correspondent of the IPflust News Letter men tions a rumour, said to be founded on good autho rity, to the effect that Mr. Ilardinge, the member for Downpatrick, has obtained an appointment under government, and that Percival Maxwell, Esq., will offer himself a candidate in his stead.

HUTCHINSON V. GORDON. AOReen,NT. —"MAIM THE STAMP AcT.—Paoo► OF TENANTRY MT LAW OP SCOTLAND. This was an appeal by Mr. John Hutchinson, residing at Claremont-park, near Leith. the pursuer in an action against Mrs. Ferrier, or Gordon, and Mr. Itiehard Gordon, accountant, in Edinburgh, her husband, as representing the deceased Charles Ferrier, accountant. in Edinburgh, from a decision by the first division of the Court of Session in Scotland. The action was raised by the appellant against the late Charles Ferrier, for the purpose inter alia of recovering damages from him on account of his having wrongfully taken possession of and excluded the appellant from a certain gateway and small piece of ground, which were alleged to form part of a larger portion of ground in which the appellant had • right of te. 'limey under the magistrates and town council of Edinburgh. The pursuer took an issue, and, at the trial on the 26th of December, 1850, he tendered certain writings in proof of his alleged right of tenancy. The documents con sisted of mutual missives passing each year between the ap pellant and t h e City Chamberlain. The first wan dated in February, 1837, and related to the tenancy of the year sub sequent to Whitsunday 1837. It was addressed to tho appellant, and was es follows: " I hereby accept your offer to remain the City of Edinburgh's tenant in the property at Morton-street, and at the present rent for the year front Whitsunday next." The amount was not specified in the miming, except by reference to the rent paid for tho year current at its date, the amount of which the appellant proved to be 16'. These were objected to as unstansped ; and it was ruled by the Lord Justice Genered, the presiding judge, that the writings could not be received for want of stamps, and that the tenancy could not be proved without them. A bill of exceptions against this ruling was, on the 6th of Much, 1851, disallowed by the first division of the Court of Session, and against this judgment the present appeal was taken. Two points were raised in the court below. First, whether these were documents which re quired to be stamped; and second, whether it was incom petent to prove the matter of tenancy in any other way than by them. On the first point it was held that this was a contract of lease, and that it would be a violation of the Stamp Act to admit them ; and, on the hand, a doubt was expressed whether verbal evidence could be resorted to when written evidence was shown. Mr. Roundell Palmer and Mr. Forsyth, in support of the appeal, submitted that the appellant's claim against the defenders related solely to his post possession ; that there was no question of competing right ' • and that the Dunn( r ought to have been allowed to proce ed with his proof with out being compelled to produce the letters; !hat the letters were not leases in the sense of the Stamp Act (6.5 George 111., cap. 184), in operation at the time of the letters. The letters had not the legal requisites of a written lease; they did not specify the rent, and were, therefore, not leases in the sense of the Scotch law. Beside., in the Stamp Act, the duty on leases was made to correspond with the amount of the rent ' • and as in stamping an instrument the policy of the stamp law is that it shall be subject to an ad valorem duty only by reference to its content., without regard to extrinsic matters, it would be imposeible to any what ad valorem duty these letters which did not specify rent were subject to as leases. Even admitting that the letters were leases, and did require a stamp, and could not be admitted in evidence without a stamp, the appellant was entitled to prove his case by other evidence having no reference to those letter.. He considered that if he had been allowed by the learned judge to joie at the trial, ho should have proved his tenancy without any reference to the letters, by the rental book of the city and by the re ceipts for rent. Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr Anderson, contra, contended that the documents were properly rejected as being un stamped. The use proposed to be made of the document in this case was not such as to entitle the appellant to have it received without a stamp, if in its own nature it required one. And the existence of the leave being proved by the appel lant's own witness, and the lease having been tendered in evidence by him, they became a necessary part of his case, and he could not otherwise prove his right of tenancy. The argument was not concluded when the house ad journed. EQUITY COURTS.—YESTERDAY. NIMANLN WienCamicsuria KINDISAL.T. IN aft STIMIN/I.—PRO PPPPP LIFT TO A CONVICT.
