The agarerate of the states which seknowledas the imperial consti.o iv, compare the o , reasnie federal state with the title of " the G.rosan union."

TO THE EDITOR UPTHO Stu,—The friecde of Lady Franklin were Mich gratified by the promptness shuwn by the Express and other influenial pa en by the insertion of a letter stating her disbelief in the authenticity of the lut report relative to Sir John Franklin's safety. That letter, from a gentleman connected with the gal ant oflines family, had two objects in view: Ist. To save Lily Fret - kiln from the suffaing to which she would be exposed by congratulations pouring in from mar y quarters on an announcement for which then wee no aßlC.rity or any probable foundation in truth ; To prevent any reltxati_n in the efforts now in progress for •he relief of those brave, and moot probably suffering men for whom to much deep national as well as personal interest is excited._ To this kindly feeling of the press there was but one ex ception—the Times thought flt to publish the report, without the c,ntradiction forwarded to the editor : the bane, but not the antidote. And the day of the insertion was that on which the American mail was despatchtd. 8s that unless the con traiction inserted in eh the princi;tcl journals, the Tines excepted, bad not acc)mpanied the re pit in is way ammo the Atlantic, the generous spirit manifested by the Americans in this noble muse might hay, been eringuished, under a belief that its 'tertian was no longer rt paired.

A PARLIAMENTARY REFORMER. High Wyconlpe, March 12. THE WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY held a meeting at the Sc oil-room, George-street, Lambeth walk, on Tuesday, for the purpose of explaining the princi ples and objects of this society. t 3 N. Hennas, solicitor to the society, is the chair. Mr. Huggett explained the practice and operations of the society, which he described as having been formed in Auenat I sat, upon the Birmingham model, suggested by Mr. James Tailor. In Birmingham. these institutions had been attended with the most complete success. They had been formed and conduoted by working men, It dependent of al: political parties and having before them or.ly the amelioration of the s vial condi ion of their subscribers. When at the recent Birmingham conference he had seen some houses which heel been built upon land thus acquired, and they rather presented the appearance of villas, or cot ages, which a thriving tradesman would choose for the purple, of escaping from the milker and dirt of the town than the residences of working men. From Birming ham, these freehold lend societies had extended themselv e s to the great 'manufacturing towns of the country where they bad proved equally useful and prceperoua. Ihe value of their property has very 'merrily increased. At Wolver hampton an instance has occurred of its increasing from 31 to 131. The Westminster Freehold Land Society was based upon the principle of subscriptions of 3s. per share per fort- Light. It wee governed by a committee and board of ma nagement, who were inhabitants of Westminster of the highest respectability, appointed by the shareholden them selves. It had been at first suggested that though in Bir. minghans these securities had been fortunate enough to get allotments of 191., in Westminster they would find it very difficult to get allotments nearer London under 401. Now, they had advertised, and had tenders for lend all round the metropolis, and by the experience they had thus acquired, they found that it would be easy to obtain allotments for 301. He then called attention toe me of the rulesof the society con cerning the payment of subscriptions, and stated its progress and present condition. Freon dill it appeared that the society cow consisted of 660 member,, holding 788 shares, and that they had more than 1,0001. at their bankers. Mr. W. Cox moved the following resolution That this meeting is of opinion that freehold lend tocieil s offer to the industrious clews a most profitable investment for their savings, and are efficient agents for elevating their moral and social condition, by engendering habits of forethought and a spirit of inde• pecdence. And this meeting recognises, in the general establishment of there societies a meet efficient mode of gradually and h gaily extending the suffrage, by increasing the numher of voters for county members, and so of opinion that it behoves every man who is anxious to extend the re presentation of the people, to contribute by all means in his' power to their encouragement and support. That, inasmuch as the Weill:al:4er Freehold Land S ciety embraces within its operations the home counties. Surrey being included, this meeting corsiders it worthy_ of bein, cordially supported by the people of Lambeth."—Mr. U. Vine seconded the resolu tion.—J. Duncan, Brq , supported the resolution.—John Woollett, Esq. next addressed the meeting in advocacy of the objects of the society.—The resolution was then carried unanimourly. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated at a late hour, after some explana tions had been given by Mr. Huggett, and a number of sheets had been taken mi..

With the same view they fur:hir state that, trier the general arrangement of the building shall have been determined by the ail of the plans and suggestions called for, it is the in tention of the commissioners to invite, by a second public notice, designs, accompanied by tenders, !rum the architects, builders, and manutacturers of the United Kingdom for the construction of the building, of the form and according to the general arrangement which shall have been thus fixed upon by her Majesty's commissioners. MEETING AT HAVERSTOCH HILL Ate meeting of inhabitants of St. Peters, Vale District, on Wednesday evening last, (H. Bird, I q in the chair). it was remind that a public 'meting be galled on Wednes dsy, the 13th inst., to discuss the propriety of raising a sub scription in aid of the funds for the great exhibition cf wires of art, in 1851, end the meeting was accordingly held last night at the Adelaicie T , Haventock Hill. Mr. Bird was again called to the chair. He said that ureic btnefta would be derived from this ex- bdion ; and he trusted that the result of this meeting would be to set an example, whic`i would be followed in all parts of the country. He then moved, in the absence of another gentleman, "That the thanks of this meeting are eminently due to Prince Albert for the warm Interest he hu evinced throughout in tarrying eat the proposed great exhibition of arts in 1851."—Mr. Gluier seconded the resolution, which was carried ottani mously.—Mr. Willow, of the Society of Arts, attended to give a one information of this exhibition. As long ago as 1844 he had himself offered 3001. rewards for this national purpose. No doubt some persons had heard a great deal dim the controversy with Messrs. Monday, without whom (this great exhibitim could not have been gut up; and, without the patronage of Prince Albert, they never could have come to the point of raising a sum of 25,0001 In 1846, when the Society of Arts took up the prjeot, he himself visited many parts of Roglamd to ascertain the feelings of the manufacturers of the whole kingdom. A committee was formed of the Society of Art., who were authorised to make a tour of the manufacturers districrs of the country. The subject was again brought forward by Mr. Rosati', the secretary of the society, and Prime Al nert, having summoned such committee and beard their statements, said that he would do everything in his power if he saw a sufficient sum raised to forward the exhi bition. The next thing was to appoint commissioners to inq lire of the manufacturers u to their feelings upon the subject. He had been one of the commissioners, aad had visited 25 places in Ragland and Ireland. and had met with a most cordial reception. It war now the time for the ens einrers connectsd with the North Western Railway to set au example which he trusted would he followed by the employers of the United Kingdom. He therefore moved that a local committee for Pancras Vale district be forthwith appointed to collect subreriptions in aid of the funds and for other purposes; and that the following gentlemen, wick power to add to their number, be requested to act on the committee, via , Capt. Ticehurst, Mr. Bird, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Glacier, Mr. Walker, Mr. Cromh, Mr. Wynne, Mr. Wood, Mr. Brooker, Mr. ;Lichford, Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Jones.— Mr. Hunt seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimonaly.—Saveral other arrangements were then made as to the subscription?, and thanks were voted to the chair- PRINTERS' PRNsioN 13ocisTr.—The anniversary festival of this laudable institution is fixed for Wednesday, May 8, on which occasion P.

JOURNEYMEN TAILORS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. —Yesterday the annual dinner of this institution, which war formed in 1837, " for the establishment of a fund for the relief of aged and infirm journeyman tailors, and the wiJows of pensioners, ior the erection of an asylum for the reception of journeymen tailor,, and if married when elected, their wives." was held at the Landon Tavern. Sir Da Lacy Evans presided, his colleague in the representation of West minster, C. Luehiciron. E q., being also present. About 250 of the principal master talon sat down. The chairman in prepo.ing the toast of the evening, captained the advan tages of the institution, and stated that a journeyman, by subediting 14d. a we k, or 7s. a year, for three years, would entitle himself to became • recipient of the benefits of the in stituton, which comprised residence in the asylum at Haver stock Hill, an allowance of 201. 16s annually, with ebb, medicine, and medical attendance. The list of subscriptions announced amounted to upwards of 1,0001., including a legacy of 5004. duty free. CORONER'S INUUEST.—MELANCIIOLY DRAM steeds, forenoon an Inquest war taken before Mr. T.

The jury returned • verdict of Died by the tiaitatioa d Uod." MR. WAILEY AND THE COLLEGE OF BURGEONS. (?Po the Dolly News.) _ . In the Lancet of week, Mr. WARLEY, in expla nation of some remarks of oar own, states that he has not altered his views on the great medical reform ques tion, and that be shall only demand a new "College of Medicine, Surgery, and Mtdwifery,wholly indepen dent of the existing colleges, and eq ua l w ith them in powers and privileges, the moment he is convinced that there is no hope of obtaining a fair and satisfac tory reform of the College of Surgeons." This mo ment will not come, we suppose, till it is decided to give the College of Surgeons a new charter, contain ing the arrangement we before alluded to of admitting all members of the college of twenty years standing Ito the fellowship on the payment of ten guinea.. In the mean time Mr. Ws•Lev calls upon the members of the College of Surgeons to exert themselves once and for all with the government to secure in the new charter " the concession of the representative princi ple to the great body of the members of the CJllege, and the presence of representatives of the surgeons in general practice in the council itself." 'rtese demands are so perfectly just that we could hardly conceive an intelligent member of the medical profession op posing them did we not know on the wider field of general politics how terribly selfish and unjust are men who posse.. an exclusive privilege, and how blind this makes them to advantages to be gained even by themselves in an honourable and hberal course of conduct. If there be any one body of men more qualified than another by general intelligence and education to manage their own institutions, that body is surely in the medical profession. Yet at the present moment this is an advantage they do not possess in one of the many medical corporations of the United Kingdom. They are compelled to pay their money, but have no voice in the spending it ; nay, more, are insulted and vilified by the men who s,rend it for them. We quite agree, then, with Mr. WAKLIY that the men.bers of the College of Sur geons should contend for the " representative prin ciple." The next point urged by tha Lancet is " the pre sence of representatives of the surgeons in general practice in the council itself." The necessity fir this demand can hardly be understood by the public, and, when understood, must excite surprise that such • monstrous cond.tion of things should ever be allowed to exist. The College of Surgeons is essentially a college of general practitioners, as they are called, of men who practise every branch of their profession. A few of these members in London, including dentists and oculists, choose to forego the practice of midwifery and phar macy, and, on the ground of this sacrifice, claim all power to govern in the college. This is merely an excuse for the management of the college by a clique of hospital surgeons in Landon for their own advan• tape tied interest. In this way many of the moat learned and distinguished members of the college in tteneral practice are prevented taking part in its management, whilst men grossly ignorant of their profession, as a whole, are permitted to job and mis manage its affairs, and peril its very existence. We give oar most hearty sanction to all efforts at reform of the College of Surgeons. It will, however, be seen that the medical reform question assumes two aspects, one which relates to the organisation of the profession itself, and the other the position of the profession in relation to the state. Although all preceding legislation has proceeded through some existing combination of the profession, it is not at all necessary that it should do so, and it appears to us that it would simplify the question very much if these two things were separated. The first and most important thing to settle is what shall be the position of the state to the men who practise medicine. We fail to discover that this ques ton has seriously occupied the mind of medical men, at all. Renew oar powers, give as fresh powers, give our new college power, are the only sounds we hear am•det the Hebei of contention that now meet us in the medical j urnal•. Well might Sir GEORGE GREY say " g) and agree amongst your selves," if he wished to keep things as they are. No agreement seems to be at all possible, whil•t each party this k they are the one into whose hands should be entrusted the keeping the sacred credentials that err for ever to ensure peace sad good-will in the me , dice! profession. Cannot medical men see that such pretension smacks very much of the claim to infalli bility on the part of an Mall ution which has at least much better grounds historically for such a position than any of their mustiroom colleges cr camomile'? What, then, must be done in order to ensure the great objects of me dical reform, the supply to the public of ' an intelligent body of medical men, and the preven t Lion of quackery and imposture? C:ea , ly, no dispu tations about the powers of colleges, and universities, discussions about fellows and members, hiving. of presidents, and hootings of Hunterian orators, will ever secure this. We advise the medical profession to get clear of this sort of thing, for a time at least, and instead of fretting and fuming at the indignity which the doll heads of their colleges atd companies would inflict upon them, turn their attention to the discussions of 1847. In the Medical ll.,,gistra tion Bill, then brought before the House of Commons, they will find to a greater or less extent the charter of their deliverance. Although Mr. WALLEY assures us that "his opinions of the utility and neces sity of • system of medical registration have not varied in the least," since he introduced the medical Registration Bill, we would remind Mr. WAKLEY that that bill was mach more than a mere registra tion bill. It effectually cut the claws of the corpora tions, and prevented them from doing further harm to each other and the public by placing all power of prom cution, where it alone ought to be, in the hands of the governrcent. It insisted on an equality of education and examination for all who wished to practise the medical profession. It gave the man once qualified, and recognised the right of practiskg his art in all parts of the British empire. It abolished the legal fiction which has came into existence through the colleges in London, of a distinction between physicians, surgeons, and general practitioners. This bill had the sanction of a majority of the pro ssion of the universities and colleges of the sister kingdoms, and only met with opposition from the self-elected few who manage the corporations in London. We do not say the details of Mr. WAKLEY'S bill admit of no charge, but it recognises the great just principles of medical legislation, and whenever these become operative, medical organisation will follow. If Sir GEORGE GREY were really in earnest about medical reform, we would say to him, disregard the London colleges, adopt the principles of Mr. WAK LET'S bill, withdraw all power of licensing and pro secuting from the universities, colleges ' and compa nies, institute one sound examinatio n on the part of the government, at d licence or not your na , dical men on that ground. In granting licenses to medical men you need not to know how they got their education, what college . or university they belong to, whether they are going to practise all branches of their profession or only a part ; the duty of the state is to provide in ttlligetat men who will do good and not harm, and that can be done by a state examination in this country, as it is time on the continent of Europe. We feel, however, painfully impressed with the fact that this is a common sense view of the matter, a view that is too lunch opposed to the special sense of dignity and importune assumed by the magnates of the London colleges to allow Sr G. GREY to act upon it, provided he had the inclination or the energy. But should he or any other legislator take up the subject, we promise them, on the tiii.h we have in the good sense of the majority of the medical profession and the public, success. MATRICIDE AND ATTEMPTED PARRICIDL—The secluded village of L,t•le Evenden, in Cambridgeshire, (about I fight miles from Cambridge on the B.dford road,) has just been the some of en awful tie/roily. An old man, named Carrington, has lived for many years in the village with his wile and one son, John. On last Tuesday a quarrel between the father and the son, when the latter struck the former several blows on the head with a spade, injuring him so severely that he lie. without hope of recovery. Th wretched mane mother coming into the cottage at the time, interfered for the protecion of her husband, and was also SJ savagely beaten that she almost immediately. He was of dune immediately taken into custody and locked up. Toe prisoner is forty years of tee, and the eccentricity of his conduct for some years past favours the supposition that he is insane. Oa Wednesday a coroner's inquest was held, and the farts as detailed above were given in evidence. The jury returned a verdi. t of " murder" aphis. John C.r rington, who was consigned to the county gaol to await his trial. The deposition sr the injured man will be taken so don as his state of heal , h will allow, se that is case of his death it may be used at the triel of the prisoner, who evinesd no emotion on being made acquainted with the ver• t of *spay. THE TEN HOURS FACTORY ACT AND THE BELAY SYSTEM. A public meeting convened by the mayor, in com pliance with a requisition previously presented to him. was held in the Court House, at Leeds, on Touchy evening. At the hour appointed, 7 o'clock, the Court House, which will hold something over a thousand people, was not half filled, but later on it was prett y iia well occupied, but never crowded. The operati ves i n appear to take compara tively little interest in the ten hours agitation. The regal shims presented to the mayor contained 60 signatures, nearly one halt of them being thou of the clergy and dissenting ministers, and about 20 more those of surgeons. Only two enillowisne thought it worth while to append their names to the document. The R.v. James Fawcett, incumbent of Woodhouse, occupied the choir during the early rut 'of the promedings, but subsequently it mos tam by the Rev. Dr. Hook. the Timer, the mayor haring seat a note signifying his inability to aimed. The CHAIRMAN having briefly pointed out the position of the Ten Hours qevtien, The Rev. W. SINCLATR said be had hoped this question bad long since been settled, but unhappily it was not up, and it would ill become such • town as Leeds, which bed been honoured by the residence of the late Michael Thomas Sadler, to be silent on au h a question, although Leeds had not felt the evil, of the relay system at much as other towns. At present the discussion was not in regard to the merits of the subject, but to remedy the burgling of those who drew their acts of parliament. (Hear.) B.r Robert Peel and others had predicted all manner of evil as the result of this restriction, contending that if the principle was admitted, shopmen, domestic servants, and others would seek for similar restriction., and thus a system of tyranny would be iodtt ed which would rodeos m ny evils. Had any of the evils pre dicted befallen them 1 (N., no.) But if these evils had not come to pass many of the promise -el advantages bad been realised. Tee working man had obtaiced time to attend to docustie duties, to mechanics' institutes, and to benefit by the thowards of ways in which philanthropy was mani festing itself. At his own ward of the town garden allot. meets had become so much in demand that they could not fled sufficient ground for them. If parliament was just, as he believed it to be, this blunder in the Ten Hours Act, to which be bad referred, would, when his noble friend, Lord Ashley, brought on the question on Thursday next, be at once rectill.d. His experience induced him to believe that the leisure thus sought to be secured would be s p en t i n moral and religious duties. He concluded by moving: t' That the Ten Hours Act having been duly observed and carried out in this town and neighbourhood, the most salu tary effects hays resulted from it, both to the emptoyere and the employed ; and that this meeting rejects every pro peal to extend the work in factories for all young persons and women beyond the limits of ten continuous hours for five days in the we. k, and eight on the Saturday, with proper time for meats for all at the Caine time." Mr. 8 salmi, surgeon, in seconding the resolution, contended that by the shortening the hours f hhour the casts of d •formity from factory labour were very mach fewer and milder in their severi.y than were found fifteen or twenty years ego; and if the restriction to ten hours was carried on for seven or tan years longer, extreme cases of in jury and deformity from Lenny labour would be very rare. In conclusion, he referr,d to the consistent part he had always taken in this case, and expressed the pleasure he now had in striking what he believed to be the lest blow in its favour. (Applause.) Mr. It. CHURCH mov d the next resolution.— " That this meeting is firmly convinced that the Ten Hours' Ate, where tionte•tty unnerved, tea proved most conducive to the interests of all concerned in factory I .bour, and therefore pledges itself to the most determined efforts to secure for all young persors and women the entire practi cal . fficiency and integrity ct that just and righteous law." The Rev. Mr. LBAKE, Weelejan mii.ister of Holbeck, seconded the resolution, urging that the restriction to ten hours was nee .sury to protect women and young children from excessive labour, and to give the former time to attend to their domestic duties. li_ was a-s much interested in the welfare of the working classes, that anythie g he could do, by his presence, ii.fluence, or purse, he was realy to do it. (Applause.) Toe lt,v. THOMAS WILLIAMS, Wesleyan minister, moved the next resolution. lid took a deep interest io this qut stion, fir he had the honour of belonging to the air :Hang classes, and had to w. rk twelve, fourteen, and sixteen hours a day. He thought the argument involved in this qustion had been fully discussed. The resolution he had to move was " That this meting condemns, sad fs entirely opptsedto the modes of work.ng in factories, by relays and shifts, which compel young pi noes and women to sta to work very early in the avower, and to remain occurned or employed until a late hear in the evening, thus deprivi:g them of time for the performance of their household duties. and that versa act' and maul improvement which the Ten Hours Act was intended to ensure to th- Mr. J. H UTTON, as old short time agitator, stem:led the resolution. Mr. hGOLESTON, a hook-keeper, af:er a short speech, during which he said he had been connected with the move ment tor a half holiday at Manchester, moved—" That the thank. of this meeting be given to Lord A.bley, :M.P., and to all other public supporters of the Ten Hours Act ; and that his lerdabio be requested to use his prat talents and irfluenee to obtain a speedy removal of the modes of working by shifts tad rel y, so u to secure to the factory w.rkere all the benefits intended by the Ten Hours Act." Mr. JOHN SMITH, a b.hmonger, seconded the lulu , tien, and argued that a restriction of the hours of lsbour mur.:emult in the increas.d wealth of tits manufacturer as well as in the happiness and comfort of the working elutes. Mr. GEORG! BI:LNIZEt. surgeon, moved, anti tbo Rev. GEOI.OE AWIFIELD, 01 Armley, seconded, the adorion of petitions to both bouts of pediment. Al the resolutions were carried unanitaon.ly ; and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke tip. Not a sing e millowner or factory op.r.tive teak any psrt in the proceeding.. PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM. MEETING AT BETHNAL GREEN. ----• Last evt niog, the end public mee log for the pres-nt year of the Tower Hamlets Parliamentary and Finacci d Reform A , focistion was held at ;he Wooaman, Bethnal-green. The chair was occupied on the occasion by 0110108 OFFOI, Th. CliAlltalAN, in opening the priceedioge. aid the meeting had to confider a matter cf:(l,:ep impertance affect ing their social welfare. Hill , ne, the lano lame had been represented, very few of those of the working ea.t• , •, upon whom the burden of taxation was imp...ed, having eon voice in the 11 met of Commons. It seemed a singular, but it was nevertheless an undeniable fact, that the poor man who bought a pound of sugar, had to pay exactly the lame amount of duty upon it as toe rich occupier at the soil. The cousequence was, that the poor man, who had a rife and live children, was paying seven times as much as the rich bachelor. The only means the w, rkiug classes had of rve tifying this unfortunate state of thing, wee by extending the j suffrage, sad empswerieg eves, m .n of adult age, untainted by crime, to have a vote. He himself had seven votes, sv.d he consider, d it most unjust that any individual should have more than one, and that persons superia to t im in industry should he disposees.ed altogether of the Fran. hiss. Mr. J. B. MASK ALL proposed the first reslution. to the effect that the meetiste was or upiei,n that the pea vat sys tem of fleeting members of parliament, based as it was upon the exclusion of the people, and the predominance oi the Sew, was radio:lly vicious; and in order to abolidi such system, a full and tree representation in the Commor.s 11 Jun of Parliament was of peramout.t importance, and should be earnestly enforced. ----- Mr. J. tumor seconded this resolutio, which WAS una nimously carried. Upon the motion of Mr. DAVIS, the meeting, impressed with the Illetigi,y for carrying cut the foreeo•ne resolu ion, pledged itself to mist the Tower iteml.n Parlimentary and Financial Reform Association.
