LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. After our report left yesterilay, she report wan received, the word " adopted " being, at the sug;cstion el a shareholder, omitted. A SHAPJCHOLDIR inquired whether the 2,0001. which was voted to the Marquis of Chandos as chairman would be con• tinned to the present chairman? The rum RMAS—Not unless the proprietors vote it. Mr. PRICE, who stroegly deprecated hostilities with the North Eastern Railway, which was ready to afford every facility to the North Western fur the exchange of traffic, I moved a 111144ution repressing disappointment at the results of the past policy of the company, and disapproved of the negotiations entered into with the Manchester and Sheffield and the West Hartlepool Railways, and deprecating the company being committed in the manner proposed. Mr. ENTWISTLI seconded the resolution because no espla nation had been given of the data on which the negotiations hall been entered upon in the first instance, nor any assu rance given that those negotiations would not be renewed. The Cusinese believed he was right in putting upon the resolution this construction, that it was a direct vote of went of confidence in the directors. He was quite willing to go into an investigation. With any body of gentlemen. ' shareholders in the company, possessing a large interest in it, he could have understood it, and gone with it But after the passing such a resolution as this, he did not see how any lyolly of directors could hold their seats for an hour ; longer. The first prop osal ~ for the negotiation in reference to the Sheffield and M heater, did not come foam this hut from the other company. As to the North Eastern, they had nut hitherto afforded those facilities for traffic which was required. Complaints had been made of not forward ! Mg on the Leeds through traffic, but until the Derwent Valley scheme w.ot whispered about, no inclination was shown by the North Eastern to meet them. He should be glad if he could now be assured that the North Eastern was really desirous to facilitate the North Western traffic. Mi. PKIOE had not intended the resolution uau expres sion of no confidence. Mr. WiltiLET thought if they could not express their opinion in the ,ray now proposed as to a policy which all objected to, they were powerless, and might as well stay Trre, M.P., was not prepared to go with a resolution the results of which must be the immediate retirement of the whole board, and the eoilengenng of 31000,000 f. of property. He thought it would he better to modify the re solution as suggested by the chairman—that was, for the appointment of a committee to confer with the directors. Mr. MottoAN could not look Oil the resolution as a vote of want of confidence. . . . Mr. CROFIFIELD (auditor) strongly deprecated a resolution which must seriously injure the interests of all the share holders. The directors were not at liberty to explain pub licly all the circumstances aml reasons which Lad induced the negotiation, but were willing to meet • committee ap pointed by the shareholders, and give to them every expla- Yr. Cmtrwmb could not acquiesce in a vote of censure upon a board which he believed to Le one of the most ho nourable in the world. Mr. Tree, M.P., moved an amendment that a committee be appointed to confer with the directors on the general po licy of the company. the rate of expenditure, and the best 'nide of increasing the dividend. Mr. RHODES seconded this. On the question being put, the amendment was lost by 87 votes against 82. Mr. CROSVIELD demanded a poll, which was appointed to tali plea the same evening and to-morrow morning, the rotate to be reported to-morrow (this day) at noon. Mr. Price, who bed been appointed a scrutineer, said Ito could not attend to-morrow ; and knowing that the directors held proxies sufficient to override the decision of the meeting, he would withdraw the motion, contenting himself with the almost unanimous opinion of the meeting which had been elicited adverse to the policy of the hoard. Mr. &crier:cu, the seconder, after some hesitation, agreed, and the demand for the poll was withdrawn. The dividend, at the rate of 2/. 125.81. per cent. for the half-year, was then resolved upon ; and two formal reso lutions for the appropriation of capital having passed, *tura Ashton, Clemente, Hint, and Moon were re elected directors. _ . . Mr. fir 7,317 1 1.. proposed Mr. Brumley-Moore to fill one of the two vacancies in the direction. "• • • Mr. YOUNG proposed Mr. Melville, and as the other can didates withdrew or were not put forward, Messrs. Braniley- Moomi and Melville were elected. Mr. eitomium was re-appointed auditor. A vote of thanks to the Marquis of Cliandoe, for his sealous attention to the interests of the company while he filled the office of chairman, was proposed, seconded, and carried by acclamation. The usual compliment was then paid to the chairman, sad the proceedings, which had extended to within a few minutes of five hours in duration, was brought to a close. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. The half-yearly ordinary meeting of the South Wales Railw►y Company was held at the Great Western Hotel, Paddington, yesterday ; Mr. C. R. M. TALBOT, ILP., in the chair. The report was unanimously adopted ani the dividends declared, no seconder being found for an amendment. The retiring directors, namely the chairman and three others, were reelected, after an effort made by several shareholders for the election of Mir Francis Head to one of the vacant seat■. Mr. W. Anning was re-elected se an auditor. Before the meeting separated, Mr. Brace announced. as qualifyieg his complaints of the bed working arrangements between the two companies, that certain terms had just bean agreed upon, which might have an advantageous effect on the traffic. . . . . . . the corrugated iron portion of the roof was turned up as if it were paper, and about 20 yards of the roof was partly destroyed. The roof of the Midland station was partly stripped, the ,Igtval poets and telegraphic pasts blowu nearly level, and great destruction done. The damage to the Great Western stations alone is roughly esumated at 1,5001. Naar the stations are the extensive works of Messrs. Kell, the agricultural itupleineut makers and I founders ; here a roof, about GOft. by 4Oft., was thrown down and completely destroyed. TEE ACCIDENT TO TEE CRYSTAL PAL.4PE. We yesterday reported that a portion of one of the wings of the Crystal Palace hail been demolished. The following is the edictal report of the occurreoce forwarded to us by the .ecretare : —•• I regret Where to inform you that during the gale. which raged here with excessive violence between le awl scteti hut evening. the square block which formed the terilimation of the north wing of the Palace was blown down, carrying with it a portion of the corridor which led to it, mid in which the poultry shows ,have been recently held. Loth block and corridor were empty, with the ex. ception of a few garden seats and trestles stowed there during the winter. No personal injury has taken place, nor ha, anything been damaged except the shell of that portion of the structure shove mentioued. The main and the other patine/of the company's property are entirely uninjured. I may add that p block in question eat it. companion at the oppoite end of the terrace were originally designed to carry the tank, lo play in 4 .one: .d the fountains. Hut this idea Irv ing been at an earls. period abandoned, the upper story re mained without the weight intended to steady it, and was, therefore, more isobject to the action of the wind. The south 1.1,k was reduced in height last year, when it was added to the refreahmeut department, and it was in the con templati.o of the directors to du the mme by the other. It impairs that the wind must have brat taken the upper pert , of the block, and that this in its fall brought down the ail. , joining corridor hot as the accident happened after the clewing of the building, no precise particulars are known as to the manlier of its occurreoce." During all ThunaLoy the wind blew over the hills at Nor wood with extraordinary fierceness full That the trout of the pastes, facing towards London . That it was more violent here than in other suburban distrieta is evidenced by the broken branches of trees, the palings, and even rirdeis walls blown down in the neighbourhood. But, although the premium of the gale upon the whole surface of the palace must have amounted in the aggregate to several thousand tons, not the smallest perceptible effect wee produced upon it, and Dot • single pane of glass was broken. All *basil well, till about half past 7 o'clock on Thursday night, when, during one of the fearful gusts which then swept over the bill. some men in the carpenters' room heard a little crashing a glees and iron, and immediately no out on to the terrace garden. In another minute, with an appalling crash, the huge tower fell over among some trees, and lay Asmara into millions of fragments ou the ground. lo the course of two or three minutes Inure the rest of the wing went, by 30 or 40 yarda at a time, till a total length of about IIU yards strewed the earth, • mere mass of splinters of glass, wood, and iron. Anything more complete than the destruction it would be difficult to imagine. The en pearasce of the ruin rather suggests that every part of the building ha. been carefully broken into small pieces than that it has been merely blown down. A tremen dous explosion could not possibly have ,shattered the piece more effectually. The woodwork is all in mall Ores, the east iron columns are broken up like glass, and the tie rods twisted and tors into every shape. For. torely, there was nothing in this wing but the empty pre mad at the late poultry show, and a number of garden rata ; all these, of course, are more or less destroyed. As far as sr be judged from the way in which the ruins have fallen, it would seem that the corner column nearest the railway must have had to sustain the thrust exercised upon it by the other columns yielding to the force of the gale. As the wind came in gusts, it if supposed the tower must have oscillated to such • degree as to force the corner column, on which the =ln strain came, out of its perpendicular, when, of course, it rapped at once. It - was no doubt the breaking of this which the carpenters first heard, and ran out on to the terrace, when the tower, thus deprived et its main support, fell instantly before the next blast. It is • great m a i. however. of the strength of the structure, that when the rest of the wing was thus weakened and broken by the fall of the tower, it was not instantly overthrown also. It stood for several minutes, and only fell piece by piece as the wind swept down upon it with almost the force of • harriers. The strength of either of these wings, however, is sat to be compared with the enormous strength and COM. Callwith which the main building is put together. of rebuild* the north wing, it is stated, would Net amount to more than 6,U001., but as lately it was never red far anything but the poultry shows, which can just as well be held in the south wing, it is DOS probable that it will be rebuslt at ail.

BRITISH LAND COMPANY. The fifth annual meeting of this company RAS bald last evening at the London Tavern, Mr. GILPIN, M.P., in the chair. There wu rather a large attendance of shareholders. . The directors in the report congratulate the share holders on the satisfactory character of the business of the year, both as to the extent of the sales and the profit realised. The total amount produced during the year on the sale of estates was 95.3173 f. lls. 3.1. After a careful valuation of the estates, and after deducting all liabilities, • balance of profit is left amounting to 129,572/. 13s. 91., from which the directors recommend • dividend at 10 per cent. Seventeen new estates were purchased during the year, and part of them resold. Two thousand additional shares were issued on the 17th May, and 3,000 more were offered on the 20th of October, and taken up. The direc tor* have deferred issuing the remaining 5,000 shares foe the present. Upon the motion of Mr. HUTLET it was resolved to change the time of the meeting from six to half-past six. Four retiring directors were reappointed, as also were the auditors. An amendment for the election of one fresh auditor was peptised. VOWS of thanks were then passed to the clutinsemasid directoes wed to the secretary, sad the proceedings terminated YES 01WAY SHIP COMPANY. The directors of this company - have compiled report to be preended to the shareholders at a public meet ing to be held at the London Tavern on the Hth. They con. gratulate the shareholders that the trial trip to New York was made at a lass of only 344/. odd. As explained in their previous report it was their intention to have despatched the ship on a second voyage to New York on the lith October last, but after considering the requirements of the Board of Trade for one voyage only, and the very imperfect state of the decks laid down by Mr. J. Scott Russell under his contract, the directors, with the advice and concurrence of some of the largest proprietors, whom they invited to confer with them on the subject, abandoned that intention. They then re duced the staff and all other expeuses ea much as poiedble, and proceeded with the alterations and repairs. The bearing of the screw shaft was far the most serious task. By very skilful arrangements the necessity Of annoying the shaft from the ship was overcome, and the work has made such progress as to leave no reasonable doubt of its satisfactory completion, together with the feed pumps to the paddle boilers recommended by the Board of Trade, in the ensuing month. The main deck has bees sheathed with If inch Imelda over a layer of tarred patent felt, thus forming a double deck. The directors believe that by these means the deck (hitherto a constant source of injury sod annoyance) will be watertight., and the ieconveniences thoroughly removed. The saloon and cargo decks have been caulked, and many ether minor but important works are in program. The question of future employmeat for the ship has received the moat serious consideration of the directors. Thu want of public confidence in the ship has hitherto battled the directors in their endeavours to obtain sufficient pas sengers and freight to remunerate the proprietors. They hope that the voyage to America has in a great degree removed the impediment. The passengers unanimously expressed their appreciation of the ease and comfort they enjoyed, and the total absence of sea sickness, even to the moat sensitive. Her excellence as a sea boat has been proved, and notwithstanding the inevitable dieadvantages of an experimental voyage, the directors can DOW place full reliance on her steady speed. They believe that another successful voyage to America will establish the desired confidence, and that she might then be profitably employed in any trade where her great capacity and power can be devel op ed. It is clear that by a compu tation of her speed now established, she would accom plish a voyage to India or Australia within forty days, upon a ration of consumption of coals far below that of other steam ships.

NORRIS. —lll2 14ADLEIR FRAUD& The object e the suit wan to enforce • claim by the Loudon and County Bank upon • eum of money which bad been paid out of the Landed Estate, Court in Ireland to a trainee of the late John Badleir, and by him paid over to the administrator of that person. On the case being called on Mr. W. D. Griffiths interposed on behalf of the official manager of the Tipperary Bank, and stated he claimed on behalf of the bank the entire fund in question, submitting to the court that the official manager ought to be made • party to the cause, having given notice of his claim to the present claimants. The Vice-Chancellor observed that not being a party to the cause he could not properly hear the official manager, and could not, without the consent of the parties, delay the cause, which was thereupon proceeded - with. The plaintiff claimed the fund in question upon an undertaking given in November, 1854, by Mr. Morrough, John Sadleir's solicitor, by John Sailleir's directions, to the London and County Bank to hold the fund at the dispond of the Laidon and County Bank— and a resolution of the bank, granting an advance to Sad leir, on the faith of the undertaking. The defendant raised a case of waiver, and argued that the fund in question had been discharged—first, by taking a formal security not including it ; secondly, by the contracting of • new loan, by means of which the old loans were paid off. New securi ties were taken for the new loan, which did not comprise the sum in question : and they further stated that on the plaintiffs furnishing a list of securities held by the plaintiff to the defendant the fund in question was omitted in such list. They also took objection to the form of the suit, which they alleged ought not to be a bill for realising one security alone. hut a general suit, taking an account of the entire amount of debts and securities, and realising the latter en masse. Mr. Molt and Mr. Stevens for the plaintiff, the public officer of the London and County Bank ; Mr. Wilco: and Mr. Hardy for the defendant, the administrator of the late John Sadkir. Vice-Chancellor Wood held the contract involved in the letter and resolution a value•ubsisting charge on the funds, and that the taking the further securities was no abandon ment. He held also that the plaintiff was justified in framing his bill in the form adopted to save the fund, which was in danger of being misapplied. MATHEW if. MAXWELL.

Sittings at Nisi Prias at Oaildhall—(Betere the Lord Chief Baron sad Osenacia Juries.) !moo r. PORSIB. —AS nowisra's stcr. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an innkeeper, the proprietor of the Southampton Arms, in Chancery lane, against the defendant, the mother of • young gentle man, an ensign in the militia, to mover the sum of 311. 13s. 2d., the balance of an account of 411. 13e. 21. for goods supplied to the defendant's son. The defendant pleaded never indebted. Mr. Powell was roamed for the plaintiff; Mr. Pearce for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence adduced on the part of the plaintiff that the defendant, Mrs. Forbes, was a widow lady, residing in the country, and in the course of the last year nuns to London and paid • visit to Mr. Stone, a gentleman residing in Chancery-lane. She told that gen tleman that her son was at Bristol, and she wanted him to come up to London for the purpose of being presented to the Queen, but she did not know how to do so, be cause ahe was afraid if she sent him down money to pay his passage he would spend it in another way. Mrs. Stone was at that time about to go into the country to see her daughter, who was re siding near Bristol, and offered to bring the young gentle. man up with her ; sod accordinglj it was agreed that Mrs. Stone's smestion should be earned out. The young ensign was broug ht up to London, and at first apartments were taken for him by his mother at the Blue Posta Tavern, and subsequently at the defendant's, where during hie stay he had articles to the amount of 411. 13a. 2d.„ and on the oc casion of his going to be presented to the Queen, the plain tiff lent him half-a-crown to pay his cab fare. The defen dant had paid 101. off the account, leaving the amount now sued for. Mr. Pearce, at the conclusion of the case, submitted there was no case made out against the mother, as the goods were proved to have been sold to the son. The Lord Chief Baron said the goods were supplied by the direction of the mother, and there was evidence for th• jury. Upon which Mr. Pearce said he could not proceed fur ther, as his client was not in court. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. --_ _ Pm. 22. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) TALBOT AND OTHERS V. TRAITIRNE AND OTHERS. This morning Sir H. Cairns rammed and concluded his speech in reply. Sir C. Cressy/ell then proceeded to sum op. He observed that at the end of such an inquiry as this, if he felt it necessary for the purposes of justice to read in detail any considerable portion of the evidence he should decline to enter at that hour of the evening (half-peat 4) upon the task. He bad, however, had ample proof of the vigilant atten tion of the jury ; because whenever any controversy arose as to what any witness had said, heobserved that they were singularly accurate in their recollection of the very words that had been used. He could therefore place implicit confi dence in the attention which they had paid to the case ; and the principal part of his duty would be merely to explain the law bearing upon the question. By the law of England • man had a right to dispose of his property as he pleased; but if in his lifetime he gave evidence of a failing mind, • commission of lunacy might be held upon him, and he might be deprived of the control of his affairs. So after his death he bad an absolute right to dispose of his estate as be pleased ; but in order to do that it was necessary that at the time of making his will he should be of sound mind, and el sufficient mental capacity to deal with his property. If the jury only understood what the law meant by a sound end s &posing mind, they would have no difficulty in dishes with this case. To be of testamentary capacity, the kw declared that it was not only necessary that • man abash have memory enough to answer yea or nay, bet be must have a disposing memory, so as to be able to dispose of his property with understanding and reason. The same doctrine had been laid down by the Privy Council, in these terms :—ln order to constitute a sound and disposing mind, • testator must not only un derstand that be was giving away the whole of bas pro perty, but he must also have capacity enough to appre hood the nature of his property, and the natural claims which these whom his will would exclude from benefiting by it, bad upon him. Any person who had capacity enough for that had, if he was not insane, sufficient testamentary capacity. The definition of insanity was given bed by Sir John Nicholl :—" The true criterion of insanity was that whenever there was • delusion in the mind there was in sanity—that was to say, whenever persons believed that things existed which existed only, at least in that degree,. in their own imagination ; but of the non-existence of which co argument or proof could convince them." An ex ample of this kind of delusion was given in the case of arise v. Waring," where an old lady was convinced that Lord Melbourne and Lord John Russell were going about in dieguise hawking fish in the neighbourhoodof Wey bridge. (Laughter.) Another example of insane delusion was where a person of high rank, who had recently lost his wife, went to an eminent physician to consult him under very peculiar circumstances. He said that his maidservants put a powder in his boil for the purpose of exciting his iluires And making him marry one of them. He even took some of the powder to the physician, who found that it was hair powder (which the old gentleman wore) ; lost nothing could convince him that s u et was the simple fact. As to the existence of delusions in this testator's mind there was little or no evidence. Some things had been detailed by the witnesses with • view to support that theory, but he really would not detain the jury by commenting on them. They amounted to nothing at all, except to show that the testator was a man of irritable temper, and was often very angry. As to the medics,/ witnemes, Dr. Sutton, who did not attend the deceased at the time in question, had felt DO hesitation whatever in saying that the deceased could not have been of testamentary capacity ; but Mr. Chator, who did attend him, expressed himself in terms of great doubt; so tine it was that some people would rush in when other people feared to tread. (A laugh.) The case resolved itself really, therefore, into a question of the general rapa city of the deceased. There was no doubt that he had latterly shown • considerable leas of me mory, but he (the learned judge) bad hardly ever seen more full and complete instructions given for a will. It bail indeed been asked, where was Mrs. Trabenie all the time ; but it was proved that she was not present while her hushuid was supped with Mr. Wooilroffe, his solicitor. Those instructions were pretty strong evidence of his powers of memory. It was said that the deceased showed au insane antipathy to those who bad previously been objects of affection. But the term could Willy be applied to the feeling of annoyance which the testator manifested when he thought that his nephew had circulated reports of his insanity. It had been said that a man never loved his heir at law, or liked his successor ; sod certainly if there was one thing more likely than another to offend a testator it would be to learn that because he bad taken the liberty to use some of his own money, the person whom be bad made his will to benefit was going shoat stating that he was mad, and not fit to be entangled with his a affairs. Bmidsstheplatotiorspecity,therewessaothergromid on which the will bad been impeached. Mrs. Traherne had been accused of having been guilty of a gross, abominable, and disgraceful fraud—in other words, it was said that she had inserted the name of the residuary legatee in the will without her husband's knowledge. If that were true, it was about am gross a fraud as could well be conceived, and Mrs. Traherne had added to it the guilt of perjury. But was there any ground for such an imputation? n the first place, did Mrs. Traherne gain anything by it! On the con. teary, she lost a great deal ; for if no residuary legatee had been inserted in the will her husband would have died in. testate as to his personalty, and she would have taken half. Was it reasonable, then, to suppose that Mrs. Traherne would have committed the grave offence with which she MY charged, and that to benefit not any friend of her own, but a relative of the decemed's! If, however, the jury were of opinion that the name of the residuary legatee had been inserted without the knowledge of the testator. the will would be valid as regarded the rest of its provisions, and invalid as to the residuary estate. The jury after deliberating for a minute or two found all the imam for the plaintiff. Sir C. Cromwell then decreed probate of the will, and condemned the defendants in tbe costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—FER. 22. (Before Mr. Commiesiouer Face.) • THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN *MUTING COMPANY (LnIrTED) . i An order for the winding up of this company was e some time ago. Since then a call has been made on the contributories in due form, and the whole debts of the com pany (about 1,300/4 have been paid in full.

IS THE MATTER OF AN ATTORNEY. Mr. Appleyurd, an attorney, addressed the learned com missioner, saying that be had been prevented from prac tising in the court on the 17th; also that it had gone forth that he had been " struck off the roll." Now, as be was never on the roll, he could not be struck off. He was still an attorney of the superior courts. He wished it to be corrected. , The Commissioner said the order was that he cease from practising in this court. He could apply to have the matter reheard. THE POLICE COURTS. LAMBETH. Mr. Henry Loral:, a young German, was charged with violently breaking into the dwelling-house of Mrs. Pears., a widow, in Warnford.road, Peckham. The complainant said that the prisoner and his wife had been lodgers in her house, but their bill for board and lodging having amounted to over 501., she served him with notice that she could not afford to keep them any longer. At that time the prisoner proceeded to Hull, where be re mained about three months, and on bis return some days ago he insisted on his coming to live again at her house, but she refused to admit him, his object being to live upon his wife, a perfect lady, and entitled to considerable property. On the night before, he came to the house with another man, and demanded admittance, and when refused, both commenced to break in a door with a hammer. His wife, dreading the consequences of his getting to her room, called out for assistance, when a constable came, sad took the prisoner into custody. The damage done was 9s. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said that when pro ceeding to Hull his wife accompanied him to the steamer, and they parted the best possible friends, his wife kissing him at the time, but on his return he could get no account from the complainant of her or him child, when it was quite evident she knew where they were. He found out that they were at Mrs. Peon's. He spoke to a policeman as to what he should do, and was told by him that he had a right to go where his wife and child were, and therefore he thought he should be justified in forcing his way into the house. The wife, a tall and showily dressed young woman, here mid that on the evening before she had been compelled to seek the protection of Mr. Sells, the magistrate at the Thames Police, for protection against the violence of her husband in that district, and a summons was granted to her sod appointed for hearing on Monday next. Her husband, she said, had been in the habit of treating her with great cruelty, and it was her intention to take proceediogs against him in the Divorce Court for a judicial separation, on the ground of cruelty. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, she said she first met the prisoner at parties, and that their marriage was rather a hasty one. The prisoner said that if such had been the case, it had been urged on by his wife herself and her friends. The wife denied this, and further said that when they were married her husband was a merchant and bad offices in Austinfriars, but soon after be was arrested for debt and lost his business. He subsequently took offices in Fen churchotreet, but was unable to get on. The prisoner said the cause of his failure wee a dishonest partner, and his not being able to get into business again was owing to his not being able to get money that had been promised to him. He should not annoy his wife, he said, tf she bad, as she should have done, gone to live with her sister or some relation, and not with strangers. The wife repeated her determinatiou not to live with him again. She said her uncle was Lord Chief Justice of Scotland, her cousin a distinguished barrister in the Temple, and she had, therefore, the beet legal advice as to the pro ceedings she meant to adopt. The prisoner was ordered to pay 9e., the amount of the damage, and also to find hail for his good conduct towards his wife for one month. TRAFFIC RETURNS. RAILWAYS M Miles hrei , Total.

In the unavoidable absence of Alderman Sidney, M.P., Mr. Harvey, the chairmen of the West London Union, presided. The chairmen said that the Home Secretary ex pressed to the deputation his opinion that great benefit would result from the entire abolition of the present laws of settlement and chargeability of the poor, and the present meeting was to consider what was best to be done in regard to this very important question. Mr. Potter moved a resolution expressing the satisfaction of the meeting with the sentiments of the Home Secretary as far as they related to the present nature of the laws of settle ment mid removal of the poor, but that in their opinion to abolish the laws of settlement and removal, without adopt ins more equal system of rating over an extended army would be injurious and unjust to the already overtaxed and pauperized parishes, where alone the poor can find dwellings within the reach of their means. Mr. Warwick, vice-chair man of the City of London Unioe, seconded the resolution, ' which was after some discussion agreed to. A petition to the House of Commons, praying that the matter might re ceive the serious and immediate attention of the legislature, and that measures might he introduced to relieve the present ' evils and inequalities, was agreed to, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. RELIEF TO THE SUFFEREIG4 IN THI LATE GALES. —The committee of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society, at their weekly sittings on Friday (yesterday), at the Hibernia chambers, London-bridge, sent relief to 124 widows and orphans and 153 shipwrecked seamen who had lost their clothes in the late gale, amounting to 624/. ; on Friday last 7251., to 85 widows and orphans and 234 shipwrecked sea men, and the preceding Friday 5771. The secretary re ported that further applications for relief from all parts of the United Kingdom were to be expected, as the agents were not in full pos session of the cases of the widows and families of the stamen Iced at sea during the late storms. He also drew attention to the banker's peas-book, which showed that there were nut funds to meet the relief ordered for to-day, and that there were heavy bills to be paid for travelling ex penses and clothing for shipwrecked men from various parte of the coast, and no funds. It was resolved that the secretary do continue to press on the public the claims of the widow and the orphan and distressed shipwrecked men.
