Fran information received it appears that during the afternoon of Tuesday an engine had got off the down line to M .flock, and help bad been sent for from Derby. An engine was speedily despatched conveying several men to reader assi•tnaee. On their arrival, however, it was thought they had not sufficient strength among them to rep's,' the engine, and a message . was sent to Derby for farther aid. Another engine, conveying fourteen or fifteen men, was immediately sent, and on these arriving at Amber_ gate the engine war reversed, and it ran towards Matlock with the tender first. Before this last assistance arrived the men first sent had succeeds din getting the dislodged engine replaced on the line ; and thinking the distance but short to Ambergate, they started to proceed thither on the line they were on, instead of running a short distance is the opposite direction, and getting on to the up line by • siding, which they could have done. The consequence of this was, the two engines, on arriving at a curve, came into fearful collision, although the drivers abut off the steam and reversed the engines immediately upon coming in sight of each other. One of the men on the tender jumped off before the a ngines came in contact, but the others were scattered shout in all directions. Many of them were seriously bruised on vari..ns parts of their bodies, and others rendered insensible. Information was immediately despatched to the .t.mberg►ts station, and from thence a telegraphic message was sent to Derby for medical and other amnia- Wee. A few minutes pelt 6 o'clock, an engine was got ready, and Mr. Gisborne, the Midland Company's surgeon, Mr. and other officials of the company, went off to the scene of the accident. On arriving at Ambergate they found rhat eight or ten of the injured men had already been sent to Derby by another train ; and Mr. Oisborne proceeded onwards and brought the remaining sufferers with him to D:rby. The following is a list of the sufferers, killed and wounded, who were received at the Derby Infirmary: Michael Barkes, stoker to ono of the engines, received es tensive lacerations on the back part of the scalp, and thigh fractured. This poor fellow was insensible when taken up, and continued so until 11 o'clock the following morning (Wedan,lay), when he expired.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF TIMBER AT MANCHESTER. Two men, named Thomas Peacock and James Births, were yesterday brought before the magistrates at the Manchester City Police Court, on the charge of steal iag a large quantity of timber from the premises of the Harrington Carrying Company, near Knott Kill, in that city Although the evidence referred only to the removal of 20'2 deal planks, it is understood that a much larger quantity missing, but it is doubtful if the whole cam can be brought home to the prisoners, on account of the difficulty of identifying the property. On a recent examination of the stack, it was found that 202 planks, belonging to Mesas. H►y, Nish, and M'Kean, builders, in Oxford street, Manchester, were missing, the number in the yard being 6.779, whereas it ought to have been 601; and it was subeequeatly ascertained that yesterday week the pri loess landed& quantity of similar planks at the Bolton Canal wharf, in Salford, from a boat of which Peacock was oap ti.a. These were delivered to a cabinet-maker in Salford, tamed Henry Holt, who sent thirty of them to another person in the lame line of business, to whom he had pre 'mut, offered to sell them cheap. This person saw them arrive is the boat, which had both the prisoners on board, sad he understood Pitscok to say there were 272 planks, and the price was ltd. per foot, which is much below their value. This was about five minutes past 6 o'clock an Wednesday morning. Mr. M'Neish identified the planks as the property of Mauro. Hay, Nish, and WlLean, by meant of their private mark. Inspector Maybury, of the Manchester detective police, applied for a remand of the case till Monday, *Lich was granted, in order that further evidence might be obtained. Bail was accepted for the prisoners appearance. • THE CONTABULAItIi PORCl.—Yellferdll, a return to periiarneat wa• imbed of the ronstahulary force in ire and.

Sid. THE ATTEMPT TO ROB THE DUNDEE BANK.-SINGULAR VERDICT. ----• -- At the Circuit Court of Justiciary, held at Perth, en the let lest., Samuel Faulks was charged before Lords Cockburn en 1 Ivory, wish hoeing, along with two other persons uokuown, broken into the premises of the Dundee Bank, Castle street, Dundee, daring the olght of the 31st January, and the morning of the let February, IS-12, sea with having attempted to commit a robbery, by bleaking open one of the iron sales, the door of which was found nearly destroyed, by means of housebreaking implements left behind by the burglars. The prisoner, who is a respectable-looking person, appa rently about SO pars of age, and with features eeeressive of mildness and intelligence, pled not guilty. the remarkable and mysterious incidents involved in the tau, both is respect to the circumstances of the attempted robbery and the supposed connection of the prisoner with it, invested the trial with peculiar interest, and accordingly the court was densely crowded on the occasion. Amongst those present were the Lord Provost of Perth, Sheriffs Crauferd and Me unit!), and various members of the Perth and Dundee town councils. After some formal preliminaries, Mr. Charles Rose, manger of the Dundee Bank, de poned to having left the bank at 12 o'clock on Saturday, the 31st January, in its usual state. He did not return to it till the Monday following, when he was called up at eight o'clock in the morning by Win. Ogilvie ' the bank porter, with the information that the bank had been broken into. He found the premises had been entered by the coal cellar belonging to the Episcopal chapel immediately adjoining. A hole had been cut into the wall of this cellar, which formed the partition betwixt this cellar and the bank premises. The lath and plaster had been sawn out and the stints removed. The bole was about 18 inches wide. There were two safes in the office, one the book and the other the money safe. The attempt was merle on the dcor of the book safe. The iron door was cut through with centre bite, and pieces forced out. Some of the bolts and tumblers of the lock had been cut through. There had been an attempt to force the lock. Stones at the edpe had been attempted to be forced off by a crowbar. He found a great variety of tools lying beside the door. No attempt had been made on the money safe. The safes had two iron doors. The unlike meets found were exhibited to the witness and identified by him. [They fumed a most complete and skilfully fabri cated set of levers and apparatus fur boring and rupturing iron, with saws, chiefly, and other implements fur break ing through stone and wood obstructions, apparently quite new. They were evidently made expressly fur a bans rob bery, and as such were equally ingenious and formidable. One class of the instruments was adapted to be used simul taneously by three persons, so as by the combined action of crank and lever to force out pieces of the strongest iron plate used for safe doors.] Besides these tools there were found two bottles of champagne, some oranges end grapes, three pairs of cotton drawers, a qu antity of glazed black cloth (to blind the windows wit h), a bundle of ropes, and a paper of tacks. These were to en possession of by the police, who bad been immediately apprised of the at tempted robbery. The cellar door was locked, but a piece of gas pipe having been put into the keyhole, it had to be forced open by a blacksmith. The cellar was found full of rubbish. Jane Millar kept a lodging-house in Reform-street, Dun dee. The panel (i e., the prisoner) came to lodge with her three weeks before the robbery. Ile intro& cod himself as Professor Faulks, and had a galvanic machine. Only one gentleman came as a patient, a Mr. Sinclair. lie had three small laines, and a large tin or iron box with him, the last was particularly heavy. She saw that box opened once about a week before the attempted robbery. On that oc casion she happened to go into the prisoner's room without knocking, when she found him with the box open on the table, and she saw three small tools, and three turned-in tools and a large iron crow bar, also a saw. 1 he tools were of a peculiar shape. The prisoner appeared agitated on seeing her come in, and pot down the lid of the box. About a fortnight after this she saw some tools in the police office, and pointed oat amongst them these she bad seen lying on the table in her room. Identifies these and the saw. The prisoner left her house about four o'clock on the Saturday, being 31st January. He was not in the house all that night. He came back between eleven and twelve on the Sabbath afternoon. She asked where he had been, and he said he had been six miles in the country. His clothe. were covered with white lime dust, and so were his shoes. She brushed his coat. He appeared much fa tigued and worn out. Ile went out immediately, and did not come back till near eleven at night. He stayed in the house till the following Friday, when he went away in a cab, saying he was going to Leith. lie advertised bie profession in Dundee, and was quite well known there. He kept regular hours, and hie conduct was proper and good. No other man came to visit him but Mr. Sinclair, and he never slept out of his lodgings except that single night. The three small mahogany boxes contained rich jewellery. Mr. Mackay told her he had apprehended Mr. Faulks on Monday, the 2nd February, coming down her stair. She only saw the tools on the table for a moment, and thought they belonged to his galvanic machine. Jane Lenience., servant of the preceding witness, cor roborated all the circumstances of her evidence except what relates to the seeing of the box open. George Simpson, writer in Dundee—Was in the street on the night of 31st January, about ten minutes to 12. He was attracted by a light in the chapel at that hour, which was moving about. He saw the chapel door open about half a font, and a man come out, who locked the door and gave it two distinct knocks in doing so. The prisoner is the man who came out of the chapel. Saw him by the gas lamp. He went and joined two other persons in the Bank close. One of them was apparently a woman, but a very strange-looking one. He said, on passing them, " Bloomer again." He thought it was a man is woman's clothes. The three persons moved away across the street. About ten days after the robbery he gave a description of the men he had seen to Mr. Mackay, the superintendent of police. On atethrsamination he said be thought the man he had seen wee lame. Knew Mr. Faulk.. He (witness) refused to toreez any questions to Mr. Bell, Mr. Faulk's agent, be- INS he hail said that he was constantly drunk. He was net so late that night because he wished to get tome infor mation about stake nets. James Cassidy—Was waiter in Mrs. Wallace's Rotel, Salley-street, Dundee. Recollected a person coming to the Imam ea Sunday, the Ist February, at about 12 o'clock. Ho %shad es getting in. His clothes were white with ihno duet s mil be was rather fatigued and sleepy. He asked far a birth to clean himself, and he brushed him. He stayed and dined in the house. He went away about 6 or 7 at sight without paying his bill. The prisoner is like the but can't swear it was him. Two commercial travel his ifaed with him. Mrs. Wallas, gave similar evidence to the teat witness, and said if the man who ease was not the prisoner it was kis ghost. After some further evidence for the crown, the following exculpatory proof, in support of a plea of alibi, was ad deced. John Howard—ls the nephew of Mr. Faulks, whom he his Mows sines be was a child. Mr. Faulks had Fue ling he Mae tkr as a medical piranha, and he (wit tier) lei auleiedl bin in his profanes. Had used the seas berm with him at many places in England. He came ee Perth in the beginning of December, 1861, and reenbedi till March, 18.52. He lived with Mrs. //Busmen. ifferea• plate with Professor Faalka, medical galvanise, on kb deer and advertised his business pretty exten- Nicely. He k.d a good many patients. One of these was named Ben j amin Brown, who Wei ill &instant engineer with Mr. Harrison, resident engineer to the Perth Rail way. Understood he had gone to Canada, bat was now on his way home. Mr. Brown had a brother, who was in the same employment. He remembered his uncle coming to visit him in Perth. He gave witness notice of his coming, sad he came on Saturday, lan. 31, 1852, by the train, where he met him. It was a wet night, and he borrowed en umbrella from Mrs. Slimmer. His name was speaking to the editor of one of the Dundee papers at the step of the station. He and winter then went to the lodgings of the Messrs. Brown, in Prinee's-street, near the Perth Railway. They then tune out. and witness and Benjamin Brown went away, and his neck and Alfred Brown were left in company . together. They joined again at supper in witness ' s lod gings, after having walked about tows and called upon a Mr. Thompson. It would be after eleven when they returned to his lodgings. They then supped on cheese and biscuits, OM had same toddy. Brown left about twelve. He and his as. slept it the same bed, end they breakfasted together nut morning. He took his icicle to his barber, James Roy, who shaved him. This was about half-past tea They saw Benjamin Brown that morning. They all dined together about half-past two o'clock In witasiss's lodgings. They went post-baste to the Dundee Railway Station about half past three, when his uncle left. Both he and Mr. Benja min Brown saw him into a carriage. His uncle saw him In Perth but that once, and no other person visited him in Perth. He was quite certain as to the date. The reason was, there was a great talk about an eniatear thaw trial peeformance,and it was the Saturday after that. He was also convinced of the day from the book that his landlady kept of Ws furnishings. It contained the entry of the cheese and Waits which he ordered on that date, and he saw it en tered there ea that date. Witness then gave an account of his ass's peeeeeiless after he left Dundee. He had gone to Leith end hem thence to Glasgow, where he practised as a medical galvanise, and circulated cards with his address very extensively, and he also advertised in the papers. I His uncle made a complaint to the police in Glasgow about I a bill, but they declined to interfere. He gave his name to the captain of police. He never concealed himself in I any way. I Mrs. Slimmon, the landlady referred to, was examined, and corroborated the testimony of her lodger as to his uncle coming to visit him on Saturday, the 31st January, and remaining sod dining oa the Sunday. She did not see him herself, but was told by the servant that it was his uncle who was with her lodger. She was sure it was on the day mentioned from the entry of the cheese, biscuits, and I sugar, made in her small book of that date. She could not have told what night it was the uncle supped and slept in her house without the book, but from that she knew it was on the 31st January. Several other witnesses gave corroborative evidence. Cleghorn then addressed the jury for the crown, and Mined NM the jury for a verdict of guilty aa /16.1ffiffilmiespatiated on all the circumstances which bad' bags brioche on' with reference to the conduct of the pri soner, both prior and subsequent to the commission of the attempt at the hank robbery, and said the way the prisoner had acted with reference to the charge against him was a strong proof of his consciousness of innocence. Lord Cockburn then charged the jury. He remarked ISM the fact of a man fleeing from an accusation was not to be presumed a proof of his guilt, neither was the con verse to be held of a man coming and braving a trial as undoubted evidence of his innocesee. Many Innocent men had fled rather than enenanter the ordeal of a public trial, and he bad known a notorious murderer come freely for ward and defy the public prosecutor to prove him guilty. His lordship put the ease as one which required the jury either to believe the witnesses for the alibi ur not. If they thought the ahhi made out, then there lens an ead of the case. If they did wit, then he thought there was no ground for discrediting the testimony fur the crown. The jury retired about eight tr',loek, and after being ab• sent (or about half an hour, rei.urnrel the follouing ver dict: "The jury unanimously find that the prisoner has completely Lilted to make out an Masi. There is a ma jority in the prisoner's favour that the case against him is not proven." The peculiar terms of the verdict having given rise to some remark from the bench and the bar, The Foreman of the Jury said—lf the first part of the verdict was irregular, the jury would withdraw it. Lord Cockburn—Certainly not, gentlemen ; the verdict it a good verdict. fhe prisoner then left the bar, awl, joining his friends, proceeded to the City Hotel, followed by a great crowd, who occasionally .I'l)ns/id their sympathy with the verdict of the jury by a congratulatory cheer. [The Nara British Mail, from whose columns the above has been condensed, says : " Such a ridiculous verdict in quite enough to baud down • Perth jury to iminerkil ridicule."] TUE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT GLASGOIV. Yesterday (Monday) George Jackson, the person is custody, implicated to the robbers at Mr. Rut's, was brought up at the Central Police Court, and remanded by the sitting magistrate for examination. A circumstance came to our knowledge on Monday, which goes to prove that the prisoner and hie associate had not laid their de signs without making themselves perfectly familiar with all the facts connected with the watching of the Messrs. Campbell's premises. The old private watchman leaves Prlnce'acourt every Sunday morning at 6 o'clock, being relieved by another constable, who takes duty at 7 a. in. Fortunately for Mr. Reit, on Sunday maiming last, the old watchman waited beyond his usual time, to allow his colleague a longer sleep, he having been occupied till a late hour the previous night in an. other quarter of the city. This accounts for the thieves being so checkmated in attempting to make their exit at a time when they thought there would be no person in the vicinity to raise the alarm. On measuring the hole in the ceiling of Mr. Rail's shop through which the robber entered, we find it to be only 14 inches by 13; so thst it is protable that Jackson could hardly have wormed his way through it, and, therefore, that his confederate must have been a smaller man. We are aware that engineers do some times squeeze themselves into marvellously small manholes; but we su•pect it would puzzle even Jackson to wriggle himself down and up through such an aperture. It as a Curious fact that the thieves left a number of watch keys in a drawer on the counter, from whence they selected a few, wii!st they took a quantity of gilt goods of very little coim parative value. As we stated, all the more valuable wares were secured in a strong safe, which the robbers never even attempted to open.—Nurth British THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1853. NE IF' PATENTS.

WONDERFUL PRESERVATION. We have this week to record one of the most wondrous escapes from death it has ever been our lot to read or record. It is that of a boy named David Waters, aged about 16 years, son of a widow in Louisburgh. The parti culars are these:—On Tuesday, about one o'clock, he left his mother's house for Nose Head, to catch sudden, and continued at a place called the Hole of the Head till the afternoon, when he ascended the rock and prepared to re turn home. Observing a Staxigo boat, he stood for a short time on the brink of the precipice speaking to the crew, awl failing to remember that he stud on a narrow neck, he gradually walked backwards till he slipped over, being caught on a ledge of the precipice about half way down. The crew of the boat, who were rowing away, beard some cries, and returned to the Hole of the Head, which was at some distance from the spot where the body had fallen, and u they consequently saw nothing, they proceeded homewards. The poor little fellow then attempted to climb the rock, but found it beyond his power, and, after waiting for some time, he threw off a portion of his clothes and jumped into the sea, a distance of many feet. Here he succeeded in reaching a safe point, just u darkness was coming on, and here he had to remain, wet, cold, hungry, partially naked, and parched with thirst, during a loog, dark, and dreary night, with a stormy ma helots him, a howling wind around him, and listening to these and the screeching of the wild fowl in the inaccessible crags above him. As night came on his non-appearance at the usual hour excited first the sur prise, then the anxiety, and ultimately the alarm of his friends, whose inquiries at Stasis°, Nose Head, and other places regarding him were fruitless. By daylight yesterday morning • number of individuals, includin his mother aid aunt, proceeded to Nose Head, fear ing that the only train of him would be his mangled body, and continaed the search for a considerable time, until they reached opposite the spot where he fell over, when his mother observed his fishing rod end beg with fish lying on the spot from which he first fell. On observing these his mother and aunt, as might be expected, were greatly excited, and cried out. The cries were beard by the poor fellow below, who recognised the voice of his aunt, and exclaimed with all the feeble strength which his ex hausted energies would permit of, " Oh, aunt, I'm here yet I " The joy of those on the spot may be well ima gined. A number of them ran to Staxigo, sad dad a boat manned ; in the meanwhile the keepers of Noss Head Lighthouse bad some bread and a coat attached to a rope, and sent down to him. He, however, partook of very little, being much exhausted, and especially suffering from thirst. The boat soon after reached opposite the spot, but before he could be got on board two boys had to strip and swim to him, and, by means of a rope tied round his body, he was dragged on board, and soon after landed below the Field of Staxigo. It is truly sur prising that, notwithstanding his sufferings, having been after a serious fall, thus exposed for eighteen hours, he was able to walk to Staxige, and still more so, that the only external injury he sustained was a scratch on one of has legs. Alter being put to bed he slept for several hours, and was brought into town in the afternoon wonderfully well, considering the ordeal through which he had had to pass. When landed about ten o'clock he imagined that it was about two in the afternoon. From the description given us by the boy, it would seem that he had acted throughout with the greatest intrepidity.. Thrice after dark did he attempt to scale the rock, and when parched with thirst he collected the droppings of rain water falling from a fissure in the rock with his hands. In the utering he saw a schooner passing, and his cries attracted *Poetics of the crew, who hailed in return, but not obeerving him, they used on, after putting the vessel about several times.— :Vorthern Ensign. Ina POTATO DIOZASE.—We are truly delighted to say that the disease in the potato had ceased its influences entirely during the put weak. Indeed in no case have we heard a single complaint to the contrary. This is really good news, as the potato crop had been the principal sup port of the poor previous to the first appearance of the general rot, and they were beginning to depend on it again this year ; therefore, if there was an entire destruction, it would entail great misery. Even now we trust there will be a sufficiency. 3ne good symptom that presents itself is the fact of our market being comparatively thinly supplied with the potato, which plainly indmatcs that they are not very bad, as the farmers would in that case, as in other places, brine them into town for sale. We may mention, as bearing on:the subject, that in the county Mayo, where they are very bad, potatoes are selling in the public markets at 2id. per stone.—Boyle Gazette. THE CHOLERA. Horan the Baud al Health.) LONDON. A fatal case of cholera occurred on Tuesday in a respectable family in Kennington Oval, Lambeth. The opea foul sewer ditch, of which the residents have so long complaiced, passes in the rear of the house. The local authorities of the parish have made urgent complaints of the long lines of filthy ditches and badly-constructed sewers traversing the district. Most of the latter were represented rather as deposi tories of putrid mud than channels for the removal of the grillage. Dr. Milroy, in conjunction with Mr. Hall, of the Poor Law Huard, had a conference yesterday with the board of guardians of St. G eorge ' s , Southwark. Several attacks of cholera have already taken place in the more neglected and filthy parts of the parish, and there is much diarrhoea in some of its districts. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYN DIATIIB.-OCTOBER 4. Cholera ... Diarrhoea . 10 The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in Newcastle during the present outbreak has been 1,427. In the same period (viz., the first 34 days) during the prevalence of epidemic cholera there in 1831.2 the number of deaths was 246. DARLINGTON. Oct. 3.—Cholera ACCRINGTON. Oct. 3. Diarrhira STOCKTON-ON-TEES. On Tuesday, October the 4th, 1)r. Wailer Lewis visited Stockton-on-Tees, where he met the Board of Guardians ' the Local Board of Health, and th e medical and other authorities of the town, in order to assist them in the preventive measures which they appear to be disposed to carry into effect to the utmost of their power before any decided out break of the pestilence has occurred. It is a sig nificant indication that the cholera cloud is impending ' over the town that there have been four deaths trom the disease,of which three have occurred in the same house. A partial house to house visitation had already been undertaken by the resident medical praciitioners, which, on the advice of Dr. Lewis, has been made more regular and systematic; and arrangements have been prepared for the immediate increase of the visiting staff, should the result of the visitation now going on render it necessary. One of the greatest difficulties which the authorities of this town are said to have met with in their attempts to put down nuisances is their doubt as to the construc tion of the words " Common Lodging-houses." DURHAM. The beneficial results of placing common lodging houses under regulation hare been strikingly shown at Durham, where the local board of health have fur the last two years applied the law to between 40 and 50 houses occupied by tramps, &c. The medical officer of health, Mr. Oliver, stated to Mr. Grainger, on his visiting Durham last week, that in the whole of these regulated houses there have only been in the two years two cases of fever, one of which was imported from another locality ; that formerly fever was never absent, and that he had reported to the Poor Law Board some years ago the case of one of these filthy houses, in which there were at one time six cases of fever. The act had not, however, been applied to Durham, as it has been in London and elsewhere, to the densely-crowded houses occupied by the Iri sh, the state of which in the present condi tion of the public health is moat dangerous. WALKER. The attack of chol e ra at Walker has proved to be a severe one. One extra medical officer, two vi sitors, and an inspector of nuisances, have been ap pointed ; and two houses of refuge have been esta blished. Seven deaths have occurred since Monday midnight. Five have been found lying dead, and many in a state of collapse, chiefly among the te nants of lodging rooms. The disease has thus far been confined to two spots. Much overcrowding exists in those parts. The total number of deaths since the 13th ultimo, in a population of 3,200, has been 17. GATESHEAD. One death only r;il;ie;t:a — f;; ; _t;holera on Tue sday. LIVERPOOL. We regret to learn that shortly before the arrival of the ship Isaac Wright in the river, cholera made its appearance amongst the p is/engem. Several deaths were reported, and upwards of thirty are at present suffering from it at the workhouse—to which place the sufferers were removed. The number of deaths amongst the passengers belonging to the Silu Greenman since Sunday amount to 12 SPECIAL RELIGIOUS SERVICES. Yesterday morning special services, under the sanction of the Lord Bishop. of London and Winchester, were per• formed in the several churches and chapels throughout the deanery of Southwark, including the parish of St. George the Martyr; Bermondsey; Christ Church, Surrey, St. Mary, Newington ; Lambeth, and other metropolitan pa rishes, praying the Almighty to avert and altcgether with draw the cholera. THE BISTIOP OP LONDON ON THE CHOLERA.— The Bishop of London has re issued to the clergy of his diocese a letter which he addressed to them in 1817, when the *haler' prevailed in the metropolis. CITY OF LONDON AND COUNTIES FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. Last night a numerously attended meeting was held at the Belvidere T , Pentonville, for the purpose of explaining and promoting the objects of the society, and to ballot for forty rights to choose allotments. The chair was to have been taken by the Lord Mayor, but he sent a letter stating that he was unable to attend from indispo sition, at the same time wishing the society every success. In his alliance Mr. Alderman and Sheriff IVlan was called to the chair. The Citaltrateff said that he regretted on the occasion the absence of the Lord Mayor, whom he knew to be anxious for the success of a society which originated in the borough of which he was member, and which had for its object the moral, the social, and the political benefit of the members. Societies like the present hail their origin In the intention to acvire the elective franchise for the people when the question of the abolition of the corn laws was wider discussion. That question, fortunately, was no longer a matter of dispute, but other vital ques tions remained, for the carrying of which the franchise was equally desirable and indispensable. When they became possessed of the franchise they would then have in their own hands the control of the legislation of the country. They would then have good and intelli gible laws and light taxes. One great advantage of these societies, therefore, was the political power they gave. The next point was that these societies contributed to promote economy. It was not alone that by means of the machinery of the society a man became possessed of a certain free hold, but that it generated a habit of saving, because the ' man would be obliged to save something of his weekly earnings in order to meat his payments, and when he once began to put by he would continue to do so. Well, then, when a man became possessed of the franchise, and had engulfed economical habits, he would almost to a certainty acquire a feeling of respect, and would be in turn respected by others. This society was originated about seven menthe age, and its members included persons of all classes and opinions. They had, during that short period, purchased three landed estates, which would soon be divided amongst the members. Was it not a great matter that poor men who could never hope to obtain a freehold and the franchise by their own individual exertions were able to accomplish these ends by united and combined effort ? (Hear, bear.) These societies were not founded on fallacious principles, because if a man desired to have land, there it was for him at the proper time and at a low price, and, if he did not like to continue a member, he could leave it when he liked upon giving notice to that effect. The society, though so young in years, already counted 3,000 members. He hoped they would that night make it up to 6,000. If they did that, what political influence would they not possess ? It was reported that the seat of Mr. Osborne, the liberal member for the metropolitan county, was not safe. That was not as it should be. Let this society only increase and prosper as it should, and his seat would be secure. (Hear.) For lii-.self, he could only say that he AIM most anxious tor the prosperity of this and every other similar society. (Hear.) Mr. WaosTarr, churchwaeden of St. Mary, Islington, proposed the first resolution, to the effect that the society having for its object the moral, social, and political benefit of the members, was entitled to support. There was no investment so secure, and so little liable to fluctuation, as an investment in land and boasts. Land in the neighbour. hood of populous and thriving towns was peculiarly sought after for investment, and such was the object held out to tke industrious and saving classes through the means of these societies. There was little risk as to ultimate success where they were conducted on prudent and sound princi ples. Mr. FLEXING and other gentlemen addressed the meeting in support of the society. In the course of the ey...r.ing, sclera: new members were enrolled; and eter the m Et:ng t.e ballot far 11:11.1tInente took place.
