MOM 1114TIZ AT LONDON Fl 44 oda pot I Afterains, le Ws. pr. II Ida. ), Aftermos, OS pis L LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST, 18. be the metropolis the freehold land movement is rapidly and steadily gaining ground. The oommittee for promoting the acquiWtion of the forty shilling franchise. in connection with the MetropoThan Finan cial and Parliamentary Reform Association, is every day enrolling new members. Oar readers will hare leaned from a report published in yesterday's Daily News that the St. Pancras Freehold Land Associa tion has been extended into a Marylebone association. Similar movements are in actual progress, or being originated in ocher metropolitan districts. The tredrsmen, the artificers, the members of the liberal, professions in London, can thus in the most legitimate end constitutional manner render the home counties as reliable garrisons for the liberal canoe as the metro politan boroughs. The Times has recently affected to patronise this movement—as usual with that journal when it coon tenances any liberal effort, for the purpose of disparaging and rendering it suspicious. If, says our cont-m -porary, by me ne of these asecciations the elective qoalificagon is within the reach of every industrious lab2orer, what need of further electoral reform? This insidious question is put with a twofold ob ject. On the one band it is hoped that the in sinuation may induce many to be satisfied with as the right to vote for themselves, and to desist from their advocacy of general pat liamettary re form. On the other it is hoped that the earnest and enth aiutic prrliamentary reformers may be deterred from joining the freehold land asaociatioes, by being led to regard the extension of the 40s. franchise as an evasion of, or substitute fora searching parliamentary reform. Eith rof these views would be grossly erroneous. The extension of the suffrage by the augmentation of 40s. freehold. cannot be an efficient substitute for electoral reform. It is only in England — only in the counties of England that it is available. There is no 40s. franchise in Scotland or Ireland. There is no 401. franchise in the boroughs. The extension of the 40s. franchise leaves two-thirds of our constituencies unaffected. And even though its range of influence were not thus limited the extension of the 404. franchise will not do away with the unequal distribution of electors among the constituencies, will not remove the anomaly of a Marylebone and a Bir mingham returning only the same number of members as two pocket boroughs with their 100 or 160 voters each. lbe extension of the 40e. franchise will not give the poor and honest Tatar the prJtectinn of the ballot. The extension of the 40s. franchise will not give the people that incessant control over their repre sentatives which short parliaments alone can bestow. The extension of the 40a. franchise luster can be a substitute for Mr. Ilcut.'s plan of partamentary reform. But the extension of the 40s. franchise will 133 a real and a great gal., to the liberal cause. There is a numerous minnrity—if it be always a minority . —in every squire-ridden county, eager to emancipate itself, if it saw th^ way clearly. To the aid of this depressed minority the extension of the 40s. fran chise would enable us to bring the aid of a numerous nnenfranchised class resident in the villages and towns of each county, and in the great cities in or near it. Men who are timid when they stand alone become hold among a crowd of kindred spirits. The voters, aided t a the county electoral rolls by the extension of the 40s. franchise, would find numerous allies prepared to welcome and co-op3rate with them. By the extension of the 40s. freeholds a majority of the county representations of Englend might be secured to the liberal cause. Such a reinforcem nt to the phalanx of real, earnest, practical liberals al ready in the House of Commons, backed as they would be by the popular cry from without, would wrest from ministers, in the present dislocated state of parties, many valuable concessions—in Vme, among others, that of • comprehensive systematic electoral reform. The gaining of the English counties by the re formers would weaken the clerenders of the existing unequal and corrupt electoral system, even mare than it strengthened the assailants. The counties and mill boroughs are at present divided between the landed and the monied members of the aristocratic factions. Each section supports the other in upholding a system in which both find their account. The extension of the 40s. franchise would tell to a far greater extent against the landed than against the monied jobbers in electoral abuses. It would derange the balance of the two elements of the body of parliamentary cor ruption. The landowners would become disgusted with a system which worked only for the benefit of their millionaire allies; and, as in 1830, the zeal of some of them would wax cold, while others would actually turn and assail the system by which they no longer profited. The extension of the 40.. franchise can never be a substitute for a thorough electoral reform ; but it is the best and readiest peaceable and constitutional means of obtaining such a reform. It is the sharp• edged wedge which must first be driven into the hard anknotted body of parliamentary corruption. RIOT IN THE HAM PRUSSI AN TBURO.-COLLISION ROOPS. WITH A summary of the following was given in the Express yesterday : HAMBURG, Atlover 14. The Bavarian troops returning from the cempeign arrived at Alton& on Saturday, along with some Hes Skill infantry. The latter were quartered in the town, the former in the adjacent villages, and upon eat territory. They were received very cordially by all classes of the community. The officers bad an excursion up the Meter, preceded by the band of our infantry ; aid in the evening again a supper was pre pared for them, on bowl of illuminated barges, at the inner boron of the same river, in this city, when fireworks and Bergal flames were lighted on board of other barges, while music was performing on the water, es well as in the pavilions• surrounding it. They were to start on Sunday morning, by the rail road, to Magdeburg, on their way home, but only part of them veld be forwarded by one train ; another left yesterday, a third this morning, and the remainder will follow to-morrow. These people do not conceal their ill-will towards Prussia and the Proximo. They speak it out at public places as well as at their lodgings, and finding a corresponding feel ing of sympathy prevailing here, pe e p e da r ly w ith the lower orders, they worked upon it and fanatieed them. This is an introduction to the following pain ful events. At seven o'clock last night battalions of Prussian infantry arrived on the Rendaburg railway at Alton'. One of them proceeded to this city where they had their quarters prepared at Kreuter's Riding School, at the rase Drebbahn. !aiming the station they were received by a mob with groans end insulting lan guage. The crowds increased as they marched ' through Alton& and the suburb of Bt. Pauli, and be came mote' insolent and violent, and preceding the soldiers they shut the Hamburg city gate in their face. The latter at last used their bayonets and the butt-ends of their guns, and cleared the gates. Bat here they met with another obstacle, others having come from the city and filled the Zenglians Market, up to the guard-house, near the gate, and were pelting the sol diers with dirt, stones, bricks, and other missiles. At the same time the ammunition waggons in the rear were attacked, but the men who escorted them fired at the mob and dispersed them. The battalion being jammed up between the gate and the rioters forced their way again with their weapons, when a number of people were wounded; amongst them, it is stated, some Bavarian soldiers who had encouraged and assisted the rioters. The Prussians now turned to the left. marching along the reminds. Here they RAILWAW ; ,1;11 ...;.'

This time, however, the spirit of order seems tei have left them. At half-past 10 the drums were summoning those who live nearest the scene of action, and at 11 others who live at • dime-1 c ano e, A good many of them did not appear, and among twee who did there was no subordinatioe. The dragoons kept the rioters off for a long while. They kept on firing at them and their horses; killed one man on the spot, and wounded another so badly that he is probably dead by this time. The rioters, as well as those burgher guardsmen who had joined them, were in a state of intoxication, and fired some times at Dad lel by which people were wounded, who were only lookers on. When they found they could not get at the Prussian., our dragoons defending them so nobly, they took it into their heads to barricade the Drehbahn on both ends; this being about two o'clock in the morning, they could of course not find many waggons or other objects on the streets for their per pert:, but whatever they could lay their hands on they carried there. Our regular infantry being at last or dered to fi re on the nuters, soon got master of them, but it was a long while before they could clear the alleys and yards which lead to the Drehbahn, be ing barricaded on one side at least, and the darkness of the night hiding them in their nooks and corners. At d eybresk, however, the job became less difficult It was about bait-poet four etore all was over, and workmen could begin clearing away those puny bar ricades, or, properly, hurdles. borne horses were killed. As far as I have been able to learn, about fifty wounded persons were taken to the hospitals, besides those who may be at private houses. Unfortunate as these results are, their ulterior con sequences may weigh still more heavy upon our doomed city. With the fate of Cracow before our eves, we must really tremble for our independence. Russia, who granted rich a boon to Austria, could hardly refu-e it to Prussia; and though Austria would grudge it, she could nut with any good grace deny it, after having accepted a similar plum. Another' correspondent writes of the same date, that the senate had proclaimed the riot act early en the 14 - h, and that there was no appearance of public order being further disturbed. ~.r r.

Four persons were taken to the Infirmary en ' Sa•urday four on Monday, one on Tuesday, one on Tuesday night, and two were reported at the police office.

Up to Thursday evening the number of deaths in the six days, beginning with Saturday and termi nating with Thursday, has been six ; the total number mince the epidemic broke cut, 16 ; or nearly equal to Manchester. The easel of diarrhea for the week are returned as 66. WlGAN.—Hindley, a small township in the Wigan union, and about three miles hence, has been visited with the cholera to an extent which perhaps exceeds the average rue of mortality in any other place in Lancashire. The first cue occurred on the 20th ult., when a man named James Prints, who bad been suffering from diarrhea for three or four days, died of Asiatic or malignant cholera. Since that time, it is estimated that there have been up wards of 80 attacks, and 34 have died, others, at the time of writing, being in a hopeless condition. The population of Hindley is about 6,000, and the town in many parts is in a very bad sanitary condition.

FIRE ON TIMBRE Mopes.—On Tuesd►y a fire broke out in owe of the haystacks on the premise, of Charles Riamington, of Thorne Moon, while one of his men was thatching. So sudden was the confl,gration, that the man had scarcely time to save either himself or the tools which he wss using. It is supposed that a spark from the chimney caught the stack, and thus ignited it. The Thorne fire eneine was immediately sent In, but when it arrivel it would not work, from the very bad sta•e of repair which it was In, not having been used for several years. The flames, therefore, progressed very rapidly, notwithstanding every effort made by the bystanders to suppress them, and even tually consumed the whole of the bay, consisting of about 20 tons, as wall as some out•baildings of wood and thatch.— Doncaster Gazdte. 31 372 16 14 130 2061 fsii .)

MEETING OF WESLEYANS AT NOT- TINGHADE NOTTINGHAM, FILIDAY, Arcs. 17. A meeting of Wesleyan Methoctsts and m.imb es of other dissenting bodies took place last night in the large hall of the Mitchenies'lastitution. W. Moons, &4., of East Retford, occupied the chair, and after a few introductory remarks, called upon The Th.v. SAMUEL DUNN, who said, th►t the specific object of their meeting was not discussion. They would be prepared at any future time aed. suit ,ble place to meet any number of Wesleyan alnianen from the president dors n wards, fur a fair, tree, and tu:l examination of the great principles for the maintenance of which they stood in their presrat position. Bu' a wrong view having been given by the deputations from the conference to their respective cir cuits last Sabbath, their object that evening was to give a brief, clear, and correct statement of facts col.- sleeted with the present peculiar position of himself and his friends, Messrs. Griffith and Everett. For 30 years he (Mr. Dunn) had laboured to the best cf his ability in the W. e leysn ministry, and for 20 years had his hon. frienri Is boured also amongst the same body. Lest Saturday, in Manchester, they were publicly expelled from the Wesleyan conference. Tee meeting would wish to know the exact grounds upon which they had been expelled. There was no charge preferred against them for false doctrine—no emerge affecting their moral or Christian charac er—no charge of • want of attention to the general discipline of the body. or for neglect of their duties as Christian ministers. The whole pe•int on which their expulsion rested was, that they refused to be n party to the novel, inquisitorial, ar bitrary, despotic, un-English, net Protestant, un.W. s ic) an, and uneeriptural application of the riles of conference to the expulsion of the Rev. James Everett. Three or four years ego, copies of a certain anonymous pub lication, called the " Fly Sheets," were privately circu:ated in different pert. of the kingdom, chiefly amongst the minis ters of their body. These publications attacked whet wre c smidered to be defects in the administration of Methodism. Hoven prepared to say that not one of the 600 ministers who expelled him last Saturday had the shadow of an evidene • that he wr.ae one line of those publications. Last Friday a long string of interrogatives was brought for ward against himself and Mr. Griffith, and in crate that he might give them a careful examination, he asked tor a copy, w►ich was refused. When, how ever, they were brought before the bar of conference, he (Mr. I).) mid es the document contained something in the nature of an indictment affecting their character, he emit 1 himself, or by his solicit +r, demand a copy in any civil court in the land. Having heard this truth rung in his ears, Dr. Bunting at length said, " Let them have it," and at the breaking up of the conference it was promised to be seat. An answer was written to this charge, and himself and Mr. Griffith were, in consequence of being unwilling, amongst oth r members. to forego c.rresp ailing with the Wesleyan Tomes and Wesleyan Banner, expelled. One requirement was, Oat they should muse agitating the con nelim. He (Mr. Dunn) asked what they meant, end was tolo that they ista.t not speak of anything relating to the law of 1835. Well, they regarded this condition so de grading as ministers, as protestant', se Englishmen, that they could not comply with it, ant, rather than do so, they would submit to be expelled. (Loud applause.) The Rte. W. GRIFFITH having expressed similar senti• menu, The CHAIRMAN requested all those who disap proved of the proceedings of the Conference to hold up their hands. The result proved that there was a very strong feeling ag►inst the proceedings. A sutocription was then entered into, for the purpose of nurchniug an inanity for each of the expelled ministers, end in a faw minutes more than 1251. was collected. RAILWAYS.

FIRE AT ARNO VALE.—On Tuesday lest, about four o'clock, p m., a fire broke out in the stackyar3 of Mr. Cherie, Sneath, Arno Vale, by which two new haystacks, with part of an old one, and a stark of seeds, of this year's growth, comprising in the aggregate about fifty tons, were consumed, with the exception of a very small portion, which is rendered quite unfit for use. The fire originated from corn• bastion in consequence of the hay being got too soon, and the stacks being too heavily thatched down. On the dis covery of the fire, the most prompt attention was paid to err , at its progress, but as three stacks were oa fire at the same time, its complete extinction did not take place urtil about 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning. As is too fre quently the ease, there were parties who attended the fire, not with the design of suppressing it, but to take advantage of the excitement which is always caused by such disastrous occurrences, laying their hands upon anything which they tan conveniently take possession cll.—Nottingham Rer 1849. 31 371 19 14 85i 154 471 914 754 322 110 Ili 671 189 290/ 2563 RAILWAY MEETINGS.

"The first point arises on the subject of expenditure epee permanent way. "The eneountanta fired that since the amalgamatiort3o miles on the Midland, 54 miles on the Sheffield and R ot h,. ham, and 351 miles on the Birmingham and Glo ve ," lints have been relsid, and that the expense of such rehyitg has been charged to capital,, as they are informed, by d i ; authority of the proprietors.

Of this sum th. yse portion applicable to the main line, as nearly as the tsar can he ascertained by us, was 390,0001., or thereahouss' "The accountants, then, lifter enousciog the pried*, which properly determines the inlay chargeable to moot Expense incurred in a bare renewal of a women; road,'—about which then can be no question, and thee oh. serving, we have, however, been informed by the eny mert of the company, that the operation was not honed to s mere al, but that as to a considerable portion of the length inlaid, a substitution was effected of heavy f rails, the latter being rendered available to a gnat mono in tne congruence' of new works, of aiding and brute" lines ;'—leave the sum of 390 0001. to he dealt sin se t *. ing to the applicability of the one or other of these printi,ile to the facto—viz simple renewal of road warn en by traffic, or substantial improvement of road "oy the sienna. tioa of superior meaning, thereby imparting an additional value to what it had . ver before possessed. With resod to the remainder of t h e 915,9971. Bs. 3d., the accountants ads no question about its having boeu properly charged to capital. " The accountants, then, having raised the question whether any an d what amount of the 390,09 W. wu wroniCy charged to capital instead of reyenne,—yeur corned tee requested Mr. Barlow, the resident engineer, to furnish them with the most correct accent that could ba made of the expenditure of the 915,9971. Si. 3d. " Mr. Barlow's report shows the manner in which theme of 915,5971. charted as permanent way mattri , ls bes Ines expended on new lines and branches, and on the cld lino. The amount of permanent way execrated since the satelys. oration has been as follows : Le.gib of branches, eh ni a n tren 1501 miles; length of ditto (131 miles cent.), q u i to dimple lines, 61 miles; length laid in statior..nd lidem ore new lines, 17 mile.; length of line laid in 51 canoe ettlore ments and new sidings, in connection with the mu" lee, Bristol and Birmingham, and Leeds and Brad/NMI cult.; length laid in forming .11 junctions with new tan asd3i ditto with private works and new sidings, 3 len; on Ir, gth of line re-laid, 77 milet ; in the gross,2lll L e r ,. In addition to the above, there have been not le4tlaal,ooo tuns of rails used in making points snd eroeings fat am work., and 1,000 toss of new rails sent is the lege red Bradlee" line. To the value of the materials so tropkq.d, Mr. Barlow adds the value of the materials in etch December, 1848. Ton be estimates tin rails) at 156 sib, at 668,5.561., which, with keys and spikes en 22 takes tittle above rails used in points and crossings on new lines,steepee for laying ditto, and additisual weight of rails, &c., main lines, &e., he estimates at 841,6721. ; and tens, yid cost of new materials in stock, and value of old ditto,gin 909,6721. " The amount thus arrived at does not quite Wettest! saga standing in the books—and some allnersnet ought e to have been made for the value of the stock et permits way materials i• hand at the date of amalgams , iin, bet the then potition of the companies it firmed an exceekni small amount. " The difference between the value of the =tenth they appear iu the executed works and the a. tual me paid, &rhea mainly from the waste of materials which it avoidable in the construction ot permanent way. "At the sums appearing in the above statement, tit cinnot, I conceive, be any doubt as to the propriety charging the whole to capital, unless exception be take the item of labour, in removing the liet r.iiet from the II lino, and replacing th. in with heavy rails, and the ow which was übaut 24,2.551. " The circumstances which led to this expense t incurred are well known—namely, that, in cousequm the change from light engines to heavy ones, it be important to make the mile of the main line prop i ately stcoag, and at the same time the increase ot mil 1816 and in 1846, and the construction of new lines, I a great demand for rails fur increased statirn ace= tion on the main line, and for the construction . f es sidings, and minor branch lines in connection with th lines. " It was, therefore, decided to purchase new heavy Ix the main line, and 'pity those taken cut to theuser menifieried. The rails so employed were pointed :et comenittee in their tour of inspection of the line, awl I tic, doubt they will have °beamed that, in the skutions they are used, they are in ail respects as valuable end, tient as new rails. " The cost of making this alteration amounted, as stated, to about 3151. per mile; it effected a petit bent fit to the line, and produced an immediate no 74 per cent. by the reduced price of maintenance whit contractors on the north lice agreed to take for every in which heavy rails were substituted for light ones, b actual saving in maintenance to the company, new di _ 9. repairs are in their own hands, is much greater, for ii parts of the block-road six men per mile were require , 65 the light rails, whereas the same places are now mile 564 with 24 men per mile, in consequence of the heavy re )71 sleepers being substituted.
