Mr. Archer said he was surprised to use so large a amber present consideriag the short notice that had been gives sad the slight milieu that hod bees seed to Wag them together to consider the matter at imam It proved to kim, however, that the meet ing were fully aware how deeply their interests mete at stake. He shonlil, in the Inset, like to know on what grounds the Chancellor of the Esebequer had based his oalcslaboas is (amnia to the conclusion for extending the income tax and for doubling the amount of toe house um. He was sot aware that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made any effort to ascertain the amount that would he realised if the budget should pass in its present state. lie thes went at some length to show that the increased house tax would fall noel injuriously on 7,000 inhabitants is Bt. George's parish, while 4,000 householders would be exempt. Of the 7.000 persons who would be called upon to pay the increased house tax, the greater part would be doubly taxed by also felling under the income tax. In this parish the effect would be to old 9,000/. MI year to the house tax. As to the income tax extended as it was proposed to persons with income. of 1001. a year, he looked 111)011 as most oppressive; for how many of the induatrions persons living at a short distance, were obliged to limit their own comforts and those of their families for the pnr• pose of keeping up as appearance. That was the cam of the respectable clerk who passed every morning to his Mike in the City. After other observations he concluded by sew* the resolution. Mr. CIiAItLIS 11' seconded the motion, end ridi• culled the idea of the public receiving any equivalent for the seoseeed increase of direct taxation. Thera was no y that would be saved 21. a week by the reduction of the duty on malt, sad the reduction of tea would be even less. and that saposeieg that the public received the full Menai of thee reelection.

The chair was taken at 11 o'clock by Mr. Senoutrint.ti, M.P. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the meeting, congratulated the meeting that the proceedings of the past year had fully equalled the expectations of the council of the Freehold Lead Hansa. Not more than • year or two ego freehold land societies were viewed by their coaservative friends with doubt, suspicion, and distrust. Since that time it had bees discovered that such societies were not destructive. bat were productive of social benefits of the most important chancier, and he believed that at that moment one of the most important societies in London belonged to the tosser vetiver'. Having thus outlived distrust, they were now proceeding in a course of prosperity, which was likely to i every year, and, in propurti a as it did increase, it would conduce to the political and social welfare of the people. Sir J. Watmetar, M.P., said he had to inform the meeting that Mr. Cobden was precluded from attending the conference by a severe cold. lie had only one or two observations to make on his own part with regard to the freehold land movement. The first was, that having from the commencement taken great interest in the advanee. meat of the societies, his experience showed that there were great social, as well as political, advantages arising from their operations. The only other observation which he would make was, that in all their efforts they should carefully keep in view the first great object for which these societies were recommended to the public, namely, the poli tical object. Ile did not wish to exclude the consideration of other advantages derivable from such societies, but he would impress upon the members of the council assembled from all parte of the country that they should not allow peculiar objects to have a preference over the social and political advancement of their fellow subjects, and the good of the community at large. The extension of freehold land socie ties in agricultural districts, where parties were pretty nearly balanced, would be of the greatest possible ad vantage in a political point of view. The report of the council for the year was at follows: In presenting the present report, the council of the union desire to express their undiminished confides°e in the great principle involved in the freehold land movement, and their unaltered conviction that it is calculated and destines' to have benefLial influence on the industrial pops'. 'sties of the empire. The receipts of the union have been but assail, amounting to oely 951. 19e. 104., including the balance in hand, November, 1851; while the payments have been 1441. Ss., leaving .a deficiency of 481. 3s. 2d.; and the liabilities, including the expenses of this meeting, 111. 13s. 6d. ; Eakin a total of 591. 161. Bd.; nearly the whole of which your secretary (James Taylor) has already I paid from his private resources. This the council venture to submit ought not to be the ease; and they trust that the friends of the movement will make some effort to repay this sum, and enable the council to continue their work. The returns applied for from every society in the kingdom have net so freely been given as could be desired, and many have not been mat at all. Forming, how. ever, an estimate with the greatest care, founded an the returns received, we find that there are In saddles, MAN Ilialbem, 120,000 shares, 310 estates pinseheesd, 19,500 ellistimle made, eel the sum actually /solved ie 790,0001. eterlher.

He could sot me how it mattered, la a moral point of view, within what period webers °b iased a rotate for their eseasy. Mr. GOODWIN, of the St. Yens Society, thought the partial adoption of the ballot would be beneficial in all ' societies. Ile denied that the principle was vicious. Mr. Wairrisoaka, the Secretary of the National Society, could not admit that the principle of the ballot was open to the charge of gambling. Mr. .1. TATLOuII., the Secretary, said, twelve soothe ego he had decl ared kimeelf a maven to the ballot system ; and all that he bad beerd since maimed him in his pre- Grease fur it. Then were millions of sea who wanted to join the serenest, sad they could not be expected to do so without the ballot. Uader the rotation plan, embus would . sot obtain an 'WWII for may years. Mr. Ilinee, of Hirraingheik, predicted that nadir the ballot spun societies would fall from their own weight, the camber of webers exceeding the power of allotateat. Mr. Rossezz, solicitor of the National B.diety, mid his ezotrienev *bowed that no moiety meld permanently peeper unless it were heeded is the prieciple of eon it. justice. (Hem. beer.) It wee oatmeal to suppose at that the beet rule to adopt was that of " first eases first tone " What, however, was tbe practical result of adapt ing it ?

(Hear, hear.) One law was laid down in Birmingham and another in London. The decision of Mr. Ilhadwell was especially deserving of attention; and be hoped means would speedily be taken to set aside that gentleman's notion of value. Ile would move:—" That the conflicting decisions of revising burl/4ra are a great and growing evil, which it ie highly desirable should be relight under the nodes of Me Lord Chief indite and the Hoses of Commas at the earlier opportunity. That • committee be appointed to adopt suds inmates as they may deem advisable, such sem mittee to consist of the following ratlines, with power to add to their number :—Mmers. %Vells, Donnas, Haggett, Beal, end the solicitors and secretaries of all London societies." Mr. C. H. BIMC11111111)011 mended the resolution. .. i;: should endeavour to get Mr. Shadwell'e decision reversed by an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas, and if unsuc cessful there, by en appeal to the legislature. Mr. Guavas said the question being a matter of feat, and oat one of law, there was no power of appeal to a court of law. (Hear, hear.) Mr. livoogre =reed with Mr. Carter that the House of Commons was the ultimate court of appeal. The Court of Common Pleas had decided that the question was one of value; and that precluded Mr. Shadwell from granting a Sass. He did not believe that Mr. Bhadwell's decision was approved of by any of the other revising barristers. lle would suggett that an appeal should be made to Lord Campbell, with whom rested the appointment of revising barristers. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Ftwrcitin thought the council should petition for • repeal of the provision which prevented an appeal without the revising barrister'. consent. (Hear, hear.) lie agreed with Mr. Haggett, that an appeal should be made to Lord Campbell. Mr. DINNZa said if they went to the House of Com mon, they would of course be told if they had any cow plaint to make it should have been made to Lord Campbell. Mr. Bassett thought the evil lay deeper than many imagined, and that the only remedy was to resort to trial by jury. la the county courts a jury could be had to try a case involving only 61. ; and why should not voters have that advantage ? The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. loaves, 11. P., for Walsall, moved the following re solution :—" That, seeing how inadequate are the funds at present at the disposal of the council, whether for the ordi nary conduct of its affairs, or for, what is so much needed, an eeteasion of the freehold lead movement in districts when it is as yet comparatively unknown, means be taken for obtaining the 000perstion of the land societies through out the country ? and that the secretary be requested to communicate this resolution to each society." Mr. H. Sums, of Birmingham, seconded the resolution. After some conversation the resolution was adopted. Mr. WA/0 wr moved the following resolution .—" That this meeting strongly recommends that when two or more societies emit in the same locality, the secretaries or com mittee should communicate with each other previously to the purcbme of estates, in order to avoid a needless And in jurious competition for one and the same property." Mr. Srorto seconded the resolution, and said his motive Ia doing so was to prevent injurious competition. Mr. DUAL. said he knew a case in which the price de manded fur a piece of land rose within two months from 1301. to 4001. per acre, in consequence of different societies being in the geld. In another instance the National Land Society paid 3,0001. estrus owing to the same cause. Mr. CLASS believed the beet course, after all, would be for every society to keep its own counsel. The resolution would tend to create jealousy, and do no good. • Several other gentlemen concurred in this view. Mr. WIIITTINGH•II Said it was undeniable that compe tition tended to increase price. The committee of the National Society had no desire to purchase land at the dearest rate; but the question was how competition was to be prevented ? (Hear, hear.) If a piece of land were peculiarly eligible, the secretaries communicating on the subject would all be desirous of securing it for those whom they represented. Mr. Bassett, solicitor to the National Society, said he entertained the greatest wilily:wise to the reeeisWn. Ile believed it to be commercially pgeseisaiy impos sible, and more injurious in its than this evils amal:ined of. (No, no.) r a lengthened, though desultory discussion, the re solution wee adopted. Mr. Scholefield having retired he was succeeded by Mr. H._ T. BRACKIIIIIIIOII. Mr. Elam. moved the follow'ag resolution :—" That we It appeared that various sums of money ►ave been from time to time subeeribed, with the view of offering some suitable recognition of the valuable and disinterested services of Mr. James Taylor, it is desirable that a committee be appointed to suggest the meet suitable testimonial to that gentleman, sad to take such steps as may seem to them most desirable in furtherance of the object. That, in pursuance of the foregoing resolution, the gentlemen present do form them selvm :into a mainsittee to carry out such resolution, and that Mr. Behokfield, M.P., be requested to act as treasurer; Mr. Huggett and Mr. Spong as London secretaries ; Mr. Riches, of Wolverhampton. and Mr. H. Smith, of Birming ham, am provincial secretaries; the committee to have power to add to their number, and take all nem mosey steps, by the appointment of local committees and otherwise." Mr. Hawaur, of Birmingham, seconded the resolution, which wu ear-ied with acclamation. Mr. J. TATLOR said the feeling exhibited towards him was an ample reward for all his past labours. A vote of thanks was then given to the chairmen, and a resolution passed acknowledging the services of the liberal press, which terminated the conference. DRAMA. SADLER'S WELLS.

Mr. Melina said this was a petition praying that recut cies which bad occurred in the trustees of certain charities in Ipswich might be filled up. Two parties had each pre ferred a list, and as far as regarded the pentora' cheracter of those on the list on the other aide it was quite ones ceptionable • bet as the charities in question were church of Englandchatities, he wished the court to establish the principle that the trustees should be members of that church, and in the list proposed were several protestant dissenters, among them a Quaker. Mr. Bethell said there was nothing in the petition about the church of England, the charity was a grammar school for the poor generally.

Bethcll said that the neat matter in t'te paper re lated to the guardianship of the present Marl of Shrews bury. a minor, twenty years of age, aad as several family and domestic matters were involved he trusted his lordship would hear the case in private. The Solicitor-Lienerel, who appeared for one of the par ties, said that there was not the slightest reason fur departing from the usual coarse, and hearing the etc; I publicly. There was not the least imputation on any one concerned. The Lord Chancellor said that the court never willingly withdrew a case from public investigation ; but here, as at was about to act on the character of a guardian, it was not necessary to expose tastily gement', if there was any desire to hear the CUM in private Mr. Bothell said that there were many painful let ters written by this young nobleman relating to the conduct of his family, which must be read. The Lord Chancellor—That is sufficient to induce me to hear it in private. The Solicitor-General said that neither he nor the lady he represented bad any personal feeling in the matter, and after the intimation of the court. — The Lord Chancellor—lt is my duty to hear the case in private if there arc circumstances which make it advisable that there should not be a public hearing. There arc many cases which, merely fur prudential reasons, ought to be heard privately. The Solicitor-General said his only apprehension was, lest it should be thought there were circumstances in the case, which rendered it not tit to meet the public eye; but it being understood that that was not so, and as there was no shadow of a reflection on any ono concerned, be should accede to the hearing being private. His Lordship then retired, and the case was heard in his private room. flmosz TN% MAProt op oos Row. IN RN Till BMITDIN AND FORNION OAS COMPANY, NI PARTS lIILLII.-WINDINO UP ACT.-CONTRIBUTONT. This was a motion that the name of Mr. Hills be removed from the list of contributories to this company, as settled by the Muter. Mr. Hills, it appsared, took tea shares iuthe corn- posy, fur which he received scrip and paid three instaluit rats upon limn. He executed the deed of the company. His clerk, nowever, executed it for him ; but, as Mr. Hills alleged, without his knowledge or consent. He had also written to the secretary, refusing to pay more instalments, in consequence of which the dividends accruing to him had been withheld. Under them circumstances, it was contended that Mr. Hills was not a shareholder of the company, and ought not to be in cluded in the list of contributories. On the other hand it was alleged that as Mr. Hills had paid instalments, after he knew that hie clerk had signed the deed for him, and, as it appeared that the clerk had a general authority to sign his name Mr. Hills must be held to have virtually (mended the dee d, and was therefore rightly on the list. His honour said he considered that the burden of proof lay on Mr. Hills, to show that he was riot aware that the deed was signed; and he had not shown that. He did not look upon the letter refusing to pay more instalments, as a rescinding of the contract. The motion must be refused with cede. Mr. Hannan Palmer appeared for the motion, and Mr. Daniell for the official assignee. Bayou VI WILITI V. C - 01 - t - ;.:1J1.7;;;1 7 1 - 0 - M - 1 : 0 - 11 - EST - 11A - IN A NOISY TRADE'. Mr. Bacon moved for an injunction, on behalf of the plaintiff, to restrain the defendant, who was a glass manu facturer, from carrying on his trade, so that the noise should not be a nuisance to the plaintiff, who resided in the neighbourhood. Mr. Elderton, for the defendant, undertook that there should be no noise in the manuf ictory of an evening on week days, and that it should be altogether stopped on Sun dap.

This action, which was brought to recover damages for injuries dons to the Star steamer by the Rom Castle collier brig, in a collision which took place on the Thames in July last, came on this morning, but so many witnesses were called for the plaintiff, that the ease was not concluded when the court rose. We therefore reserve our report. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-YESTERDAL Damao Ma. Onniumeuusa Mamoru. IN as FIANIIC4IIITZLLI7- 1 131V; F. ER1.0010171. The bankrupt Cutelli, who had traded under the firm of Cutelli, Chustiniani, and Co., as a merchant, in Bury-court, St. Mary Axe, applied for his certificate. The case had been adjoumed from a previous sitting, on the ground that proceedings were pending in a court of law to test the validity of the joint fiat against Cutelli, Giustiniani, and Co, _ -- 14;.Cairns now appeared for the bankrupt Frank Ca hill', and asked that his application for hie certificate should be gone into, u the proceedings elsewhere would not vary the cue against him. It was urged that, so far from these proceedings being near a settlement, they were further from it then at the last mating ; and that the court ought, therefore, to aojndicate on the certificate, regardless of those proceedings. Mr. Manisty made the same application on behalf of Braggiotti. Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of certain creditors who claimed spinet the firm, opposed the application. The joint peti tion was still in force, though by the appeal the functions of the court had been suspended. Therefore, Mr. Castel' was not entitled to his discharge under the separate fiat. Whatever delay had occurred in the proceedings elsewhere was owing to the either side. A special cue had been suggested by the Lords Justices. Four months had been occupied in preparing it, and when it was submitted to him (Mr. Lawrence) be fekd it wholly at variance with the facts as disclosed by 1/..1 evidence. They had not yet been able to agree on the ease; and he would now suggest as a test of the sincerity of the other side, that his Honour should be requested to settle it. Mr. Cairns and Mr. Maniety said they were not autho rised to act for the parties referred to, the former partners of CasteUi. The bankrupts now before the court had no ' power either to expedite or delay the proceedings elsc• where. _ _ _ Hia Honour said it appeared to him that the cue re mained very much in the same position aa it [did when they were but before the court; and he saw no reason for de viating from the judgment he then pee. It was said that circumstances had occurred over which the bankrupt had no control, and that he ought not to suffer for that ; and it might be that there were circumstances over which the Court had no control either. Where there was both a joint and a separate petition pending, the court could not well come to a decision on Cie question of certificate, the effect of which was to relieve the parties under both the adjudi cations, until it had before it all the matters that might arise under both petitions, should the both be maintained. The cue would, therefore, stand ad journed till the last day of Trinity term, with leave to t he bankrupts to bring it on earlier should the proceeding in the court of law be ' terminated in the mean time.

The Chief Commissioner thought that such a vicstion should have been raised in th e first instance. Mr. Reed remarked that it was considered advisable to take the offer of 201. a year for all the creditor.. It was elicited from the insolvent that a few year. ego he was discharged under the act, and with his present debts he owed as a trader considerably above 3001. Mr. Reed conteniha that, as the debts exceeded 300 L, tLe court bad no jurisdiction to entertain the petition. His Honour held the objection to be fold, and ordered the petition to be dismissed.

Jacon lioLituege, I, Woburn-buildings. Tatisteakrquars, Dec. 8. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION HOUSE. Joists Driscoll was charged with having hurglariously entered and robbed the dwelling•hous• of Mr. James Blake, of No. 21, Aldgate Highs street, tobacconist. Mr. Blake said—My premises were broken open early on Saturday morning the 27th of last month. I was in bed, and was awaked at nearly halipast two o'clock by the ser vant. I found, upon going down shin, that the till had been robbed of If. Bs.—the money which had been left in it ; and that 20 or 30 bundles of segar., which had been about i the shop, bad been removed, and bundled into a bog clam I to the back part of the premises. I saw a hat on the leads of the house, and sant my servant to fetch it in. The bat was bent in at the crown, as if against the sash of a window in the hurry to get out. (A hat was here produced.) This is the identical hat. The back windows were not, I believe, fastened at the time. Sergeant Jackson (II division of the Metropolitan rolice) said—l know the prisoner, and was present when, on the 15th of last month, ho was taken into custody by another constable fee breaking into a house. A hat was then found, which was supposed to be his ; but it was afterwards thought not to be his. When he was token into custody he had a hat on, which after looking at, I marked inside in & peculiar manner. The hat now produced is that hat which I so marked. The mark was, the moment I saw and examined the hat, identified by me. Ward (City detective officer) said—l received notice that the burglary had been committed, wad I went to esamiee Mr. Blake's premises, in company with /Innis, the officer. We found that there were violent marks of entrance, and last nigh', having received a description of the prisoner, I apprehended him in Whitechapel, in a court, into which he had ran to avoid me. Mary_ Ann Colborn, of Crown-place, Aldgate Iligh.street, mid—Not being well I was awake at half-past 2 o'clock on the morning alluded to, and I heard a whispering under my window, which is opposite to the prosecutor's house. One voice raid "All right—all safe." I looked down and saw two men, one of whom was the prisoner. Soon after wards I saw a third men, who was dressed in a light coat, and who helped up the prisoner to the back part of Mr. Blake's house on the leads. I then saw the prisoner try the window, which opened easily, and enter the house. I threw open my window end called the police, and the pri soner came out through the window, and in scrambling out in a hurry knocked his hat off on the leads. Be then got down and ran away. Afterwards I drew Mr. Blake's atten tion to the hat upon the leads. The prisoner—My lord, she said when she saw me this morning that she did not think I was the man, but alter she was talked to by the officers, who know how to talk to people, she had no doubt at all upon the question. The witness —The moment I saw the prisoner I said to Mr. Bloke, "That's the man." The prisoner at the same time shook his head at me. It was stated by two officers that the prisoner had bten twice convicted of felony. Alderman Wire having in the usual manner asked whe ther the prisoner wished to say anything, Driscoll said—All I have to say is that the hat produced never belonged to me. Ile then carelessly shoved the hat upon his head and said, " You see it dou't. ' Alderman Wire—l think it fits you very well. Driscoll—Why, these police can make any hat fit a man. (Laughter.) The prisoner was then committed for trial. GUILDHALL. Two young needlewomen applied to the alderman for advice in the following matter. They said that they had visited the shop of M . Samuel and James Wm. Benson, jewellers, of Ludgate bill, and purchased a couple of mirh chains, which were represented to them as being gold. They paid 11. le. each for the chains, but on having them subsequently tested they found the articles were made of some base metal, and consequently were not worth halt a mown. They returned to the shop and complained, when they were told that if they liked to pay 301. more, they could have " a very much better article " in exchange for what they had bought. They objected to pay any more money, and now applied to this court. Alderman Copeland said that unfortunately there was too much imposition practised by means of the electro-type pro ms' in the present day, but many persons might protect themselves if they would only be careful to ascertain if the usual mark of "18" or "21" and a " leopard's head " dis tinguishing pure gold from counterfeit, were properly stamped on all articles so purchased. Two summonses were then granted against Messrs. Benson. BOW-STREET. Thomas Boordilrh,WhO bed been several years em p'oyed as a clerk and messenger to Mr. Darren, the lessee of the Olympic Theatre, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with embezzling money which had ►een entrusted to him for the payment of newspaper advertise meats. It appeared, from the statement of Mr. W. Farren, jun., that he hod been in the habit of paying the prisoner a cer tain sum of money every Saturday to defray the cost of the advertisements of the theatreoshich were to be inserted in the daily and weekly newspapers during the following week. It wu his duty to see to the insertion of the adver tisements, and to produce the receipts given to him from the various offices. His constant neglect of this latter duty induced his employers to suspect that he did not make all the payments as required, and eventually he was discharged from his situation. Mr. Fatten subsequently received an intimation from the proprietor of one of the minor weekly newspapers that for several months put the usual advertise ments relating to the Olympic Theatre had not been sent for insertion. This complaint led to an inquiry at other news paper offices, and it was then ascertained that with respect to two of the morning journals none of Mr. Farren's ad vertisements had been received for insertion since the 18th of October laet, although (upon the testimony of Mr. Farrell, juu.) it was proved that the prisoner had instructions to take them to each journal every week, and was paid the amount charged for them in advance. The prisoner, on being taken into custody, admitted that he had appropriated some of the money, but was willing to refund it if an opportunity were given to him of doing so. One case wu partially gone into, but, it being deemed desirable to have further inquiries made, and to ascertain if possible the full extent of the various embezzlements com mitted, Mr. Henry suggested that the case should be re minded for a few days. Mr. Farrell was anxious for the sake of the prisoner's family to deal with him as leniently is possible, but Mr. Henry said it was a very serious alone., and one that could not be disposed of summarily. .LAMBBTH. John Chapel IP Lead Boueletne, said to be the son of a naval officer, and who has been in custody since the Ist inst., was placed at the bar for final examination. The prisoner had been stopping for some time at the York Hotel, York•street, Waterloo-road, where he managed not only to live sumptuously, at the expense of John Hutchins, the waiter, who paid his hotel expenses and gave him credit for the same, but to borrow 71. from him. At last, when pressed for the borrowed money, the prisoner gave a cheque on the banking house of Messrs. Coutto and Co. for 81., and when presented the answer received at the bank was "No account or no effects." While at the hotel the prisoner gave an order to Mr. fluid to make a travelling case, t►e cost of which was to be 20 shillings, and in pay ment of which he tendered Mr. &add a cheque for 101. on Messrs. Coutts, and requested 91. in change. In the first case the prosecutor admitted that he had not been induced to give credit nor to part with his seven pounds on the faith of the cheque, and the transaction in point of law merely amounted to one of credit. In the second place Mr. Badd admitted that he had suspected the prisoner from the first, and therefore did not execute his order ; and, though he had received the fictitious cheque, he had not parted with any property on account of it, nor had ho given any change out of the document. Mr. Elliott was of opinion that, though there could be but little doubt of the prisoner's intention, no offence had been committed that would justify his further detention, and he must therefore be discharged. The prieoner himself seemed quite astonished at his for• innate escape, and hastened out of the dock. WESTMINSTER. Alfred Willis, a messenger at the Home Office, residing at 4, Graham-street, Pimlico, was committed for trial; charged with a scandalous assault upon Mary Mar:in, the wife of a postman.
