TURK'S ISLAND. As we stated yesterday, FArl Grey has got another anti-convict movement in hand. On the 31st of January last, a meeting was held at Grand Key, to protest again.t the introdoc ties of convicts into the island. The resolutions passed on that occasion we subjoin. By the infineres of government, the proceedings were prevented from being noticed in the island papers; but at the request of the Turk's Irlandtrs, the Jamaica Morning Journal has opened its columns to them. A petition to the Qwen, in terms of the resolutions, and a letter to Earl Grey, have been forwarded to England along with them.

Yesterday the usual mend Meeting of the pro prietors of tale coin say wee held at the London Tenni, and was very numerously attended. Sir WILIAM" Banta', Bart., was in the chair. After the routine beanies ' Mr. WALTER PRIDRACE read the report of the dire/tees end auditors, which was of • very encosragng =tare, and stated that under the present prudent manse meat is India the upon of the company's affairs sea tumid to improve ' and presented an appearance of premise which mast be the more gratifying when contrasted with the disappointment which past mismanagement has accarionod. The report then went on to state, that the hope which they expressed on the last occasion of meeting you, that the °pentium of another year would enable them en tirely to slur the company of debt, sad give the m f en d s t o obtain the crop of 1860, so that the entire value of that trip might be uncharged with debt, will be as nearly as potable realised. You will fi nd that we have already been enabled to pay off a farther sum of 2,6001 of the debt due to the banker—tbus leaving only 2,6001. now due, and that when the whole of the crop of 1819 shall have been sold, we shell not only have cleared off our debt, but shall have pad for the crop of 1860 within a small amount. The put manufacturing season has been unusually cold and un favourable, so that most of the agricultural products of India have suffered. Nevertheless, the crop of tre, actually manu factured amounts to about 216,000165., and exhibits a Leger proportion of the finer qualities than has ever been manu factured before. Of this produce, 1,010 chests were sold on the 13th March last ; 636 chests more are in the warehouse ; 363 were shirred at Calcutta on the 16,h January last; and about 600 remain to he shipped. Of the Mae sold and shipped, amounting to 158,00018 e., 135,0001b5. are of the higher qualithe, and we see informed that of the teas remaining to be shipped, a coca lerable p ra tion will also be of the higher qualities. The 1,010 cheids, sold oa the 13th March, produced • gross average of Is 111 d. per lb., which is the highest average that we have ever yet obtained; and your directors entertain no doubt, from the opinions which they have received, that whilst the character of our produce is kept up, the in creasing demand wh ch exists for A'aam tea will pn mit the price from going down, notwithstanding that larger quantities may come into the mat kit. Toe gron average ootait.el for the tea of 1847 was Is. Bd. per lb. The gross ATI rage obtained for the tea of 1848 was Is. 811. per lb., and we have every expectation that the teas of 1849 will produce a gross average exceeding the latter quotation. The linden of 1847, sold in England, amounted in quantity to 141,277 lb., that of 1818 to 176,149 lbs., and that of the past year will, as before stated, be 216,00 lbs., assuming that ell the tea manufactured shall he sold in Englaadi. A small portion of the produce of 1847 and 1848 of the lower qualities was sold in Celestes. Whilst these results have beenobtained, you will find that the expenses in India during the put year have been siatidhing Ins than the pre ceding year, Uhl there appears to be every reason to believe that had the season not been so peculiarly unfavourable, instead of the crop having exceeded that of the preceding year by 40,00019 e. it would have shown an ernes of 60,0001ba. at least. In con'ianation the directors recommend an extension of opersti ns up ns a gradually increased extent of land ; and the local =enurement have reso:ved to try the expenmeat of paying the officers in Allnlia in port by a per centers on the statement of accounts showed an expenditure •ioee the Company was formed, in the year 1879, or 280,3811 , of which 6,5491. was for dividend. Tne ealculte dir. curs report that the crop of 1819 was 182,963 lts., and the enrage price realised ls. 841. per lb., showing an improvement of LI 1-16th per lb. ca the pre- vious seas ma. Tas result of the two seasons wu as follows: lbs. C Net produce of 1847 144,164 11,313 99 99 1148 161,1/53 14,434 The iodefatiganie exertions of the Secretary in ludas, and his claim be an inercase of salary, are stron,;ly urged by the local board. The CHAIRMAN then said he felt that his task was nut only very my, but LifteleAC ; in which sentiment he hoped the shareholders present would coincide after the re port just read. Their affair, seemed to be now in a simple and straightforward course. Not long sine* they were in debt 7.0001. ' but recently they had paid off 4,5001., and would shortly be in a erisition to pay off the ri mainder. They would then have the crop of 18.50 nearly, it not ac 'frilly. clear alter paying all expenses. The number of acres in cultivation was 1.000 to 1,20 C. They were not all in fell bearing, but would shortly be so, and he might safely say that the quantity they would produce would be about 300,000:bs. of good tea, and realise tamer more than 200,0001.. while experience warranted him in saying that the cost of producing this would be about 11,0001. They could increase the cultivation to an almost unlimited extent, and they would gain increased profit by increased cultivation. ' The directors heretofore had been a xtremtly cautious, but were now really very 'Anguloe of success; in tact, their sentiments had undergone a considerable chiinge, and to eon vines them that they might confidently rely on their teas fetching the prices they had done, he should read an extract from the opinion of a firm in the I trade, praising the quality and the improvement perceptible in it. An extension of the manufacture was very important, and the hosed was decidedly of opinion that the time had now arrived when they should make that ex tension There were two ways of doing this—either by making a call, or applying the prods fic that purpose. (Hear, hear.) Tne directors were inclined to adhere to the latter Alen, and his own opinion was that there would not be any necessity for a call, or it so, it would only be of akout fie. or 10s. Still he did not wise to give a distinct pledge that there would be no call. The present loud board in India had thought that hitherto they had not received enfilsient cons 'once from the London board; but confi dence was a plant of slow growth, and sat r the mism aaaaa moot of former parties, it wee not to b, won dered at. Ile must say that the present board had done wooden. (Hear, bear.) Only let them go on es they had done lately, and the pr. seem& of the come any would be very cheering. The gentlemen of the local board deserved the thanks of the proprii.tors, and had done their duty for the last two years. (Hear, hear.) Ile begged, in conclusion, to move thi. adoption of the report. The SECRETARY, In answer to questions, stated it was difficult to say what amount would be available for the ex tension of the cultivation, but about 17,000/. would be the surplus up to the end of the manu'acturieg season this year. The board had scarcely had time yet to take this subject into erveideration. _ A SHAREHOLDER, in weond;og the report, expressed Lis great utisfaetion at its canton's. Mr. TITS was well satialiad also, but thought the share holders had better be called together in ease a call should be made. With ragerd to the salary of the seeratary is India, 4501, eartainly appeared small, and be should not objaet;to an increase. Mr. H H. ILES:NNE:ID (a director), said the questioa of a call had better be I, fc with the directors. They could pay five per cent. dividend on the enormous capital partly lost, wen. ing to the presetd rtceipts ; therefore, what dividend they would be able to pay when they brought more land into cultivati to he could s.nrcely venture to say, perhaps nearer 30 than 10 per cent. He hoped there would be a dividend beture a call was mace. Toe contemplated expenditure would be about 2,5001. °Le yesr, and a like sum the next, and they had 17,0001. to work upon. (Hear, hear.) A.ter some further discussion the report wag carried unasi mouldy, the rettrirg direc•ora were reddected, thanks were voted to the boards in London and Louie, and the meeting adjourned. LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF TILE FRIENDS OF POLAND.—The eighteenth annual meeting of this &softie tion was hell yesterday afternoon at Its °Mete, in Duke street, St. James's; Lord Dudley Stuart, PAP.. president, in the chair. Among those present were— the Earl of Harrowby, Lord Laumoot, Cul. Sawlwey, M , Cap•ain Tswnahend, R.N., M.P., Sir Benjamin Hall, But., M.P., Messrs R. Monck:on Blanes, 1 I'., Francis Mowatt, M.P., B. M. Willcox, M.P., J. William s , William Pinney, M.P., William Scholefi Id, ld P., J. A. Smith, M.P., and Alderman David Salomon,. The secretary proceeded to read the report, which stated in detail the reductions made, in consequence of a resolution of the Hose of COMMOrie, in the allowances to some of the refugees—the number thereby deprived of asmistence— the successful effect of Lod Dudley Stuart's representations ; and it complained of the apparei.t neglect of Polish in compari son with French and other political refugees. The number of refugees in this country has much increased, in conse quence of the expulsion of Poets by many of the continental powers; hut the report bore testimony to their exemplary conduct, and complimented several of their number on the hocourable position in society, which, by means of their pro fessional capabilities, they bad attained in various parts of Britain. The report called particular atten:ian to some specimens of silk exhibited on the table, the result of va luable improvements introduced by Count de Drone Brut al, after years of patient and laborious investigation in the breeding and treatment of the silk-worm. The R... Dr . Worthington moved the adoption of the report. which wee seconded by Mr. Mowatt, M.P. On the moti.in of Mr. Pritchard, and seconded by Mr. Willcox, M P., L )rd Dudley Stuart was unanimously re-elected pre.ident of the associa tion. The Earl of Harrowby proposed the second resolu ids : " That the Sultan, by refusing to abandon to the vengeance of the Czar the Polish refugees who hod served in Hungary. has earned the thanks of friends to Poland, and deserved the respect and Aptitude of all the lovers of justice and liberty in the civilised world." The noble lord hoped that other nations would remember the lesson of hrspitality that bad been given to them, and not turn away the unfortunate refugee whose struggles in a rightful cause had miscarried. The l'oles had always maintained a claim upon the hospi tality of *very country of Europe greater than that of any misfortune-stricken people in the world, because all conn , ries ack sowledged that the partition of Poland was a most urjust proceeding, and, had will coo-spinded with strength and duty in the other countries of Europe, that empire which benefited most by the partition would not, lately, have had the power to strike so severe a blow on constitutional liberty, Other resolutions were passed, nominating the vice-pr aideats of the association, and thanking its officers for their zeal and attend an ; and the meeting was ad dressed by Captain Townabend, Mr. Mouckton Zet lines, Mr. Ferguson, and Mr. Ellin. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluued the proceedings. I'ARLIANENTART Co . .st NITTEES.—The committee on 'the Cheater and Holyhead Railway Company's 1111 for leasing that line to the lundon and North Western have, for the third time, adjourned to Monday nex•, to give time fur further couaid. ration on the subject, and when the pro mutt re tire to produce a modified measure. The preambles of the Liverpool Corporation Waterworks an.l of the Forth and CIO. Navigation have been prov.d. The committee on Postal Communication between London and Paris met yesterday and considered their report ; and the committee entitled " Sir Thomas Turton " met for the tint time and chose a chairman. IRISH TENANT RIGHT.-DEPUTATION. Yesterday the Irish tenant right deputation had an intetview with Bir James Graham at his residence in Or ieventouplace. The Ulster Tenant Right and Sir Wm. Illastrville'e bill on the land question were amply disclosed. Sir Jams expressed himself very favourably with regard to brunt right as it raises, as a voluntary arrangement between landlord and tenant, stating that he hod been in Ulster about two years ego, and was much gratified with the appearance of the people there—that he had visited the house* et several farmers when his coming was nnexpectod, and foun.i • degree of convent similar to that which is to be met with amongst toe same chus in linglend and Scotland. This was in the county of Down, on the estates of Lord Londonderry and Lord Dufferin. Ile stated that he was not opposed to the tenant right cur tain. but quite the contrary. Ile thought that the U.ster issalord who violated that custom acted othwialy, and avid very wrong; but he wished to meet the deputation in • friendly 'milt, by mentioning some of the objections to the legalhation of that custom which would be likely to arise in as English mind. For this purpose he alluded to the gene ral feeling of English landlords—instanced the manner is which lettings were made en his owu estate, and referred to the system adopted by him when he came to the posetesion of ho es:ate, in giving beneficial leases to his tenentr7, whereby they were requited for their improvements within certain limited periods, and after which he became en'itled to an increase of rent. No person deplored more than he did the present wane of the south of Ireland, and he hoped that the introduction of a class of capitalist landlords would tend to improve its condintion. The present state of the formers of Ulster, from rack rents and other cause., was depicted in forcible terms by the 1t,,. John Rogers, a member of the deputation, who alluded with regret to the emigration in proor.os amongst the better eider tot farmers, and the a.rarian outrages at present on the inert's* io Ulster, arising from tte infringement of the prescriptive custom, and high rents in particular. With reference to the condition of the county or Down, all the improvements had been made in prosperous times, and there was only a remnant ot comfort left to the formers now ; in fact they were generally deficient both as regards food and raiment, and toe homes were but as " whited sepulchres." The attention of the honourable baronet having been called to the wont of • raroapective provision in Sir William Somerville's bill, he stated that as regards Ulster, It would be a hardship, at the same time it would present some nail entity is lesiesti , n. Sr JAMES GRAHAM, having expreesed his gratifica tion that the deputation had waited upon him, the members withdrew much pleaad with the frank and courteous manner in which they had been received. EXHIBItION OF THE WORKS OF INDUSTRY IN IS.H. Yesterday a full meeting of tte General Commit- Pe of merchants, ha: ken, and trod. r• of the metropolis, appointed to promote the proposal of his Royal Highness Priam Albert, to,k places* the Mansion•house ; Lord °Tan- STONE In the chair. Tae Rev. Mr. C.rrteg and Mr. D. W. Wins, the hnno. ray secretaries, read the minutes of the proceed.no of the last towing, at which reseutiocs bad been passed that such arraagemeuts should be saggeeted by the honorary secreta ries as eeented to them best caeculated to promo:e the obj.c• of inquiring into the circumetances relating to those districts or wards from which no returns had yet been made ; acd that a small pamphlet, 'petit t in, the n• ral objects of the undertaking in a poi.u:ar form, and a :apted to extensive dr culation, should be prepared. These resolutions had bees carried into effect. _ _ _ The pamphlet was produced. It gave great satisfaction, and wee ordered to be largely circulated. The commis/docent were announced to be favourable to the pleas of honorary dis tioction are the principle of reward in the exhibition, and the que.tion of the protection of design and invention In ohj cta produced at the exhibitioe, bat not registered or patented, was rated as likely to be settled immeuiately by a bill to be introduced by the government. Alderman THOMPSON said the executive committee had been, since the general committee had last as embled, in communication wt h the goverement, and Mr. Lahore chere had signified his ineention to introduce a abort mea cure to parliament for carrying into effect the protection al luded to, and 'remised an tersest will to receive the suggestions of the committee open all mattes connected with the subject. The ball was, in feet, in • state of Vl wardens, and it would be most desirable that some of the members of the committee should at once communicate with Mr. Lahouchere on its provlsie us. The meeef.g, in which a warm and unanimous feeling was throughout the proceedings expressed, immediately ap pointed • deputation to wait upon Mr. Labourites. It eonsisted of Sir Mose. Montetiore, Mr. Tucker, Mr. Dallas, Mr. A. Salomon., and the honorary secretaries. Oae of the committee said he had seen a paragraph in the Art Union Journal stating that the Exhibition art all Na Haus app.int. el for 1151 was not likely to take plate uotel 1852. He wi-hed to know whether such a postponement was in contemplation, or whether there were any grounds for supfeesing diet the exhibition would not occur at the appointed period ? Lord OVERSTONE assured the gentleman who had made the inquiry that the quer ion had never been for an instant alluded to amongst the royal commissioners—not one word had been uttered es to delay. He could very well undentand how each a report obtained currency. That there were difficulties to be encountered in carrying out any extensive project, there could be no doubt, and in one of such magnitude an exemption from contingencies could not be expected. The commissioners could not yet say to what extent the public contributions wets likely to witted, or how far they would be calculated to meet the engagements to be entered into. They were to have a plan of the building for the exhibition on Thursda7 next, but it would be difficult to fix the extent of the building without arriving at something like a correct notion of the settee of their pecuniary resources. It had been questioned, too, whether the building could be ready at the time specified, but the engineers felt no her rine at all in declaring in toe affirma tive. (Hear, tear.) Reports and suggestions of that kind had been circulated, and in all probability gave rise to the paragraph which had appeared in the publication, but which certainly had never originated in the brains of any person who sat upon the commission. (Hear, hear.) Several members expressed a wish to know the exact amount of the money already subscribed; and submitted that increased exertions should be made to enlarge the list of contributors. Lord OVERSTONE said there had been already sub. scribed 60,000/. (Hear, hear.) What was not yet collected of what had been promised, was not (a, our reporter under stood hi. lordship) as yet ascertained. Mr. WIRE said that meetings were to take plate in the snbuzbe of London, and in various parts of the country, to promote the enbacriptis n. There was every reason to believe that in the msoufacturing districts the contributions would be liberal, for th- j, alousies which had arisen at the com masc.'st at of toe laboun of the committ, e, as to competi tion with foreigners, hail died away, a. wi II av the appre hension of the ezi,tence of a job, which hal been crushed the instant it appeared. (Neer, hear.) A MEMBER observed that he lett great satisfaction is perceiving that certain prejudice., which certainly existed when the exhibitioa was first proposed, had vanished. A friend of hi, own, who, a few months ago, was averse to the idea of subscribing • shallot, requested that he would soavey to the committee a donation of 10 gain's'. (Hear.) The committee, alter some conversation upon n attire eon aee•ed with their duti. r, agreed to assemble more frequently, and the chairman prrs.ed ujon them the necessity which *hided for vivre us exertion, to adapt the exhibition to the great character of the country. Tn. warm thanks of the meeting were then voted to Lord Oventone for his admirable conduct in the chair, and his lordship, in returning thanks, said it would give him the mat perfect gratification to meet the members frequently, and to bear testimony to the vigour of th. ir . xertions. Mr. WI RE ann o unced, at the conclusion of the meeting, that lfszou Rothschild bad just handed in a list of contribu ' lions to t►e amount of 3001. MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. MANCIIIIBTER. MAY 3. A deal of tmoitament his existed in &certain rather enemies cirele le this nasty during seem weeks past --a slam interested la a society called " The First Free holders' Balding Society"—owing to some disoloeum ealealated to affect the character end discretion of the mea trt in the investment o f th e toa d s o f the association. or ars • great number of building moieties in this neigh lenrkeed. and Lancashire has been for many years celebrated for them, immense amounts of money being entrusted to their investment ; and they have unquestionably had a great influence upon the program of the manufacturing towel. having materred benefits upon the working similes, by rte.. log a greet impetus to bathing for their good and comfort able dwellings, whilst the members themselves have often been enriched, and platted in a comfortable position of life through their instrumentality. The Freeholders' Building Buiety was instrumental at its origin In qualifying • great number of 40,, freeholders for the mount, but its funds have latterly been more generally is vested by lending mousy on mortgage. It is an association on a larger scale than any which haa yet been estahlished, with head office in Manchester, and branches through a I great pan of the county. The system of investing money on mortgage to members is what has led to the present division among its members, and the affairs of the society being properly of • private nature it may seem at first tight ea improper course to publish the particulars, but that in cases of this kind the exaggerated statements which get into circulation through pnvate channels often do injury af fecting the interests of great numben of persona, which correct reports through the press only can prevent. The dispute seems to have originated in • difference of opinioa between the managing committee sad their chtirmaa (Mr. Win. Morris), the latter having resisted a proposed mortgage tea spirit dealer, and dragged it before the members of the so ciety at one of their monthly musings. This glee great offence to part of the committee, sad especially to the Lodi. vienal concerned. Statements were made on either side which led to a great deal of alarm es to the position of the Pproperly of the society—some statements affirming that osses to the amount of 10,0001. to 15,0001. would be the consequence. A new inspection of the premises in question was Insisted on, and of other properties mortgaged to the club. The spirit merehant thin insisted on certain property belonging to the chairman, oa which advaaes had been made, being inspected and reported on. A report wee prepared not only by • committee appointed by the meeting tor the special purpose, but another by the trustees of the society also, and trine reports were presented to a most excited meeting held at the Corn Exchange on Wednesday night. From these reports it would appear that many members think that aa)nies advanced are somewhat is excess, and the disclosure has originated considerable party feeling. Many persons evidently were not prepared to expect that the chairman was in the position manifested, as he had assailed the award of another individual before • lull meeting of society. The meeting of last Wednesday was an exciting ohs—one party being disposed to adopt and print the report of the committee of investigation. Another equally eutermined to have both reports printed and circulated among 'rumbas. It may be ressiked, that the report of the trustees was only on the two properties which originatei the unpleasant feeling, as no other report had come under their nu ice , the inspecting committee not having finished their labours till last mee;ing. The meeting lasted eon, four and-a half hours, and was sustained, by addresses from various gentlemen, in which, as is usual where feeling is excited, much was said too personal and too irritating. The meeting ordered both reports to be printed for CirClliali in among the members, both the full one from the magic it. committee, and the one from the trustee., which only bears upon the properties of the chair man and the spirit-dealer. The meeting stands adjourned for a month. It is hoped and believed that ultimately the breaches will be so healed as to secure the wonted prosperity of this the largest society of the kind ever formed. The report read from the committee of inveatigatior appointed in February last stated that the committee was appointed to inquire into • loss which the society bad sus tuned from mortgaged property which had Mien Into their bands (a lota which it was said 2,0001. would cover); to Irquire, also, whether the society could not be b e tt er managed, and into other matters. The committee had ascertained the risk on 22 properties mortgaged to the society, five of which had been forfeited. The names of the owners are suppressed. The report goes on to enumerate six cases of prop rty inspected. In the first case 149 shares had been advanced by the managing committee, but the risk w.dt found to be to excess of the security to the e :tent of 2.0001. Increase.' security had, however, in this case been offered, and the full monthly payment t.f 101 instead of 29. 61 re sumed. In the atcoed cam (110 shares) there eras a Inge margin of security, and the 10s. monthly payment had been resumed. In the third case (250 shares, payment 2s. 6d. ' per stare per month) there was an actual ex cells of risk of 2101 ; or, reckoned on the usual advances of building societies, namely, three-foutths of the value of the property, 1,8431. Increased security applied for, but not obtained. In the fourth case, on • property of 18U shares (paym nt 2s. 6d ), the excess of risk as shown to be 1 3441.; or according to the above rule, 2,1691. Increased security cannot be obtained. In the Milt case (70 shares payment 2s 6d.), excess of fist 1111. lig. ; or 5111 151. In the sixth case (payment 25.6.1.) 145 shares, excess cf risk 13161.; or, on the previous rule, 1,721/. Ir.- ' creased security could not be obtained. On 11 other pro perties examined, the mortgages were considered semi factory. Then came the five forfeited properties, on which they estimate the has to be-1,7641 6s. 8.1., 1.366/. 15s. Bd., 7631. Si. 51,265/. 3s. 11, and 95n1 191. 9d. Thus, on five propertito there was an excess of risk, or liability to 100, of 4,5191. 15s. ; and on five properties forfeited, an actual loss of not less than I 5201. The committee express an opiei.n that this loss would have been avoided hal the properties been disposed of immediately on their coming into the han2s of the managing committee: they recommend their imme diate tale. Trey feel found to declare that the manag.ng committee have not exercised that amount of cau tion with whirl prudent men, entrusted with public duties, ought to have been guided. The committee shin call attention to the report of the managing committer, in which the amount owing by and expended on the pro perties named is 1,700/ below the amount of claim. The , committee recommend that the duties of sect. tart' and tree surer be combined ; that the security be 4,000/. ; the salary 9d. per share per annum ; and that three members of the managing committee act as a finance committee to report monthly. Tree committee further urge that, as little of the money received during the past year has been sold, the bonus be reduced ; while the monthly pat went' is proposed to in crease in cases where the risk is in excess of the security. Parties continuing the reduced o. yments are recommended to pay 2s. 31. prr share per annum for difference of interest. It was stated by Mr. Nelson that the lassie on the various properties would not be 8,6971., as reported by the com mittee, but 10,3061. W.

THE STRIKE IN LANAIIKBIIIBB.—The unfortunate differences between the coal and lionises:era of Linarkshire and their workmen are still unfAtlei, and, as far as we ( Daily Mod) can learn, an adjostmeat is as distant as ever. On Monday last, a large meeting of the miners was held in a field on the Bredish.dm estate, in Old ?dockland, which was attended by almost the whol: of the !Catheter Union. a. it is termed, including, we should suppose, from 1,200 to 1,800 able-bodied men. The meeting lasted above two hours, and res , lutions were pseud to the effect that the men should hold out fur the terms demanded from the masters. Such a course is deeply to be deplored. It is most distre-sing to think how many familin are thus thrown out of employment and food. The masters will not yield and we have mean to believe that many Gf them will teeth with, fur a mason at least, cease to take the water from the mines, and thus throw more hands idle. The miners have ea:led a public meeting, in order to make known their ver sion of the origin and nature of the dispute. IRELAND. Dessau, IfiLDAY-110/IXIXO. The Securities for Advances Bill continues to ex cite more than ordinary interest. Th e f o ll ow i ng letter has been received from Mr. Herbert, M.P., who lass charge of the petition on this subject : House of Commons, Wednesday, May I, Clentlemen,—l have received your letter and the petl- Hon adaded to in it, on the subjsen of Sri John Remaly's Securities for Advances Bill. It Is scarcely necessary for me t s attempt to express bow much I feel honoured at being selected by so iefluentill a body of my countrymen to pre sent their petition to the House of Commons. I have given notice of my intention to present it tc-morrow night ; and it will give me great pleasure to cc-rperate with other Irish members in endeavnuring to procure the proposed improve meets to the have the honour to be, gentlemen, ye..z obedient servants 11. A. Ilitamnex e The Hon. H. Prittle, and Vincent Scully, Esq. P. 8.—1 have spoken to several experienced members on the subject of printing the petition. I can ensure the printing of it by the committee of stltction ; but in order to have it printed with the voter, it would be necessary to found a distinct motion upon it, which would occasion delay. The course I have taken is that recommended to me to ensure the greatest possible publicity. Unfortunately the arguments of those who are ex erting themselves to remodel the vicious system of landlord and tenant relations in Ireland, are almost daily'streugtheued by the coximiseson of those hor rible crimes, in differect parts of the country, which best exhibit the fearful results of the present bad state of things. Lest week, at a place called Moon rue, in the county of Kilkenny, an unfortunate man named Kincaly was the victim of a barbarous mur der, which is thus described by the Clunniel (Aro- Nick : It appears that a termer, named Nicholas Hanrahem, had taken some land from which one Patrick Loaergan had been ejected some time before, and that he sent a caretaker to the farm, Richard Y.inee le y, the unfortunate deceased. Lonergan (the former occupi. r) and one of his sons went to the house on the day mentioned, rushed on Kinealey, and Erutally murdered him on the spot, and alto a verely beat hie daughter that no hopes are entertained of her recovery. Lonergan and iv.e of his sons are in the custody of the police, on the information of another daughter of the deceased, who saw the ruffians coming to the house. and knew them well. The other son has absconded, but the p01.c., are ai arching the country for him, aid it is to be hoped they will succeed in deliverii.g him up to justice. The Northern Whi9 states a stack of wheAt was burned, on Wednesday morning, in the farmyard of W. Coates, Esq , about two miles from Belfast, and that it wu believed to be the act of an incendiary. The Great Itlidlard and Western Railway Company have offered to subscribe 4001 towards any adequate fund which may be raised for the purywe of putting on a first-rate steamer to make experimental trips between Halifax and Galway, to test the merits which are claimed for that line. It is said that the steamer Viceroy, which has m,da some remarkably quick passages between Dublin and G.nsgow, will be engaged for the purpcse. Immense quantities of turf will be raved in all the Irish bogs this summer, and the value of that very abundant fuel see:Ps to be in greater estimation than hitherto. FINE All TS. THE ROYAL ACADEMY. The private view of the exhibition of the Royal Academy took place yesterday, Frevious to being opencd to the public, as usual, en the firbt Monday in May. It% chief characteristic is the un - form level of excellence—the result, we believe, of excessive elimi nation, more wcrks having been presented this year than the average. The large room contains this year more than its fair share of excellence, and tr.e best names are ar rayed on the line. The middle place of honour, flimsily held by Mulready, whom we regret to number among the abeent, is worthily fil:ed by Mr. Stanfield. Next in position, though not in exquisite touches of nature, are two pictures by Leslie, who turns over another leaf from Fielding. " Tom Jones ehowiog to Sophia Western herself, as the best security for his good behaviour," wou:d start:e Stothard, who missed this charming subject in his illustration. The mixed expassion of love and dissipation in the countenance of the hero is admirable ; not less so the sweet dupli ca•e of Sopliis in the in:rror. Tne other picture is a scene from Scakeepearele " Henry the Eighth." Mr. Mediae and Mr. Turner return to their fa vourite sources of itspirstiou, the one to the " Vicar of Wakefield," the other to the " Feilacies of Hope," whose authors are not more ()noised than suited to the different styles of these artis . s. While the one, with unique preci-ion in the technical &lineation of every object, aims at ; erfecti ni in form and coLur, the other scorns the nut ward and viable shape of everything sublunary, depicts brilliict drLam4, wild coruscations of harmony, and produces magical Mu poesib lities of colour and perspective. Msclise, in his " Gross of Green Sp elides,' gives a companion to his former version of 'lox• v going to the which naturally savours somewhat of repetition ; the moment chosen is cot that iu which he blushes at su Idenly finding hie mistake, but, on the contrary, he betrays inimitable self-confidence. The p atter has cut- Maclised himself in g:ossy beauty of t 4 xture and finish. The glimpse of the nigh road, and its dust on his shoe, evinces a fund cf thought as elaborate as the handling. Mr. Edwin Lacdseer's " Dielogue at Waterloo" iv, perhaps, the most import.nt pie.ure iu the exhit:i tion, and is not to be disinisse I in a few hasty words. Suffice it for the present to say, that the artist has excelled his former efforts both in interest and execu tion. The same artist has the usual specimens of canine humour and anima/i parlatiti, and a snow scene, where the shepherd is trying to extricate his " lost sh!ep : " . _ . Mr. Eastlike exhibits a replica of his interesting subject of " The Escape of Francesco N.tvello di Cor rats and his Family," the subdued harmony and beau tiful grouping of which show Irm at home in this subject. The same cannot be said of " The Good Samaritan," which savours too much of academia atti tudioisiog, though fresh in colouring. It is a relief to retreat into Mr. IVebster's little " interiors," so simple is their harmony and repose; they act as I.ttle harbours of refuge to the wearied eye. . Amongst the most successful of the portraits, which seem to creep in apac those of a " duke" and a "civic baronet" are in prominent positions. Both are remarkab e : the first by Mr. Grant, for the ridicule of painting the costume of a master of ceremocies• the latter by Mr. Knight, for vigorous handling, goo d and honest draughtmauship, no less than for being an ; admirable likeness. But by far the best portrait for simplici , y and truth, if not a rev sin pon sy, is the portrait of Miss Virginia Pattie, by G. F. Watts; unatlected grace in the attitude, taste in the costume 1 and drapery, is a happy departure from former por traiture. The miniature-room also contains its usual array of wonders from Thorburn and Sir W. Rosa. In the landscape I..partment Creswick, Lee, and Cooper, are all powerful: Creswiek, csp.cially, has Effects of " undercloud sunshine" which surpass Dutch or Flemish ; they are marvels of truth—search ing; cheerful—in tact, nature. NVe most here far the present stop. Frith, Elmore, Kennedy, IVard, Egg, all claim a chapter to themse:vcs.
