A Meeting of the Proprietors was held yesterday at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Committee, and considering the ex pediency of certain alterations in the Deed of Settlement therein recommended. Mr. N. SMALL having taken the Chair, requested the Secretary to read the minutes of the Meeting held on the 7th of September ; after which, the Report of the Directors was read, referring to the decision of a Com mittee, whether it was expedient to continue or dissolve the Association ? and if a dissolution were not to take place, empowering them to suggest proper alterations in the Deed for the future conduct of the Company's affairs. Mr. Mustier read the Report of the Committee, which stated that after a full consideration of the sub j ct, they were of opinion that it would be inexpedient to dissolve the Company, and that they entertained good hopes of the future success of the concern, under im proved management and regulations. Oa investigation. they found that the Company owed debts to the amount of 90,5521. and that its funds did not exceed 28,5001. leaving a balance of 62,0521. against the concern. They therefore recommended that two calls should be made upon the Proprietors within a given period, to the amount of 90,0001. which would leave a surplus of 28,0001. after the discharge of all demands. The report concluded with an expression of thanks on the part of the Committee to the Managing and Ordinary Direc tors, who, they were convinced, had been actuated in every part of their conduct by the purest motives. The Report was received, and ordered to be printed. The Secretary next read the proposed alterations, which were in substance that the capital of the Com pany should be (not as heretofore, 2,000,0001. consisting of 20,000 shares of loot each) but 1,000,0001. consist.. ing of 20,000 shares of 501. each. That the number of Directors should be reduced from sixteen to nine, and Oat Messrs. R. Small, J. Mackillock, J. Morrice, and J. Burton should continue in the direction, toge ther with Messrs. J. G. D. H. Larpent, J. H. Palmer, R. Mosher., %V. Crawford, and D. Mu.het, newly ap pointed. That three Directors should annually go out by lot, and that their places should be supplied by the general election of the Proprietors, the displaced Directors being at all times re•eligible. That an accidental vacancy occurring in the direction should be ailed by an election of the Proprietors, and not as here tofore by the nomination of the Directors. That of the three Auditor!, one should annually go out by lot, and that their appointment should be subject to the same regulations as that of the Directors. That the Trustees should be at liberty to attend the meetings of the Di rectors, but should not be allowed a voice in their dis cussions. That the Directors might appoint any two of their number to act as Managing Directors, with power to transact all business except certain matters reserved for the controul ul the Proprietors at large, of which the purchase of lands was the most important. That the Proprietors should annually elect a Chairman and Deputy Chairman out of the body of the Directors. That besides the Annual General Meeting held in Fe. bruary, Quarterly Meetings of Proprietors should be held in the months of May, August, and November, or in twenty days next thereafter, to receive an account of the affairs of the concern. Mr. Bowasno objected to the vague terms in which the powers of the Managing Directors were desctibed. They were restricted from executing any "material and expensive alteration." Now a great diversity of opinion might arise as to what was material or expensive. Would it not thetefore be better to limit the discretion of the managers to a certain amount, suppose 5001.? lir. Pauses assured Aim that it was not designed to mead the Managers' discretion beyond the disposal of 1001. The Resolutions were then put seriatim, and agreed to—almost ail of them unanimously. Mr. BAILEY was astonished that no explanation was oared to the Meeting to chew why the Directors were so anxious to relinquish their situations, and relieve themselves of responsibility, when a very important law suit was pending. This Meeting was, in fact, nothing more than a solemn mockery. It was well known that many persons had become connected with the Associa tion, whose sole inducement was the tespectability of the names which appeared in the Direction; and yet the ♦ery persons who had caused this delusion were now deserting their posts in the hour of peril. From such conduct, Gentlemen, no doubt, could draw their own conclusions. Mr. PALMER said that, by a change in the Direction, public confidence would be more firmly established. If respectable Gentlemen were going out, men of equal, if not superior, respectability and talent were coming in. Should Mr. Bailey feel dissatisfied with the nz , mination made, he was, of course, at liberty to propose other more competent persons, and it would be for the Pro. ptietors to. decide on their eligibility. Mr. HAIL KY never heard the Directors censured: it was to the Managers he attached blame. He could not, however, but complain that Gentlemen would lend their names to a Direction, and nut attend to the duty which they had thus undertaken. Mr. Foss—Mr. Bailey has completely answered himself: if the Directors have neglected their duty, it is the hest of all possible ' reasons why they should resign their situations. Mr. Bowl, Imo objected to the arrangement, by which it was provided that the Directors should go out by lot. It wasp very inconvenient mode to determine on the Aptitude of individuals for office. He could not conc •ive any motive for leaving that to chance which might be settled in a much better way. It might indeed be said, that the retiring Members were re eligible; but surely the Directors were more competent to decide upon the merits of their coil' agues than the body of the Pro prietors, who could not be supposed to be so well ac. quainted with the tapatity of the candidates. The Com.' pally might thus be fortuitously deprived of the most valuable services. A Maims said that the mode of proceeding proposed by Mr. Bowring, would he likely to create jealousies, and would in fact be imposing a most invidious task on the Directors. Mr. BOWRI NG further objected to the clause declaring Directors reeligible. It would go to confirm and per petuate the Direction in the same hands; thus increasing the power of the Directors, and diminishing that of the Proprietary. It was highly important that members should not be re-eligible for a certain period at least; he would say for three years. This would produce an in fusion of knowledge, a succession of information and activity in both bodies, Directors and Proprietors, which could not otherwise be attained. He would therefore move an amendment to this effect, limiting the period of ineligibility to one year, in conformity to the views of some Proprietors, who had made the suggestion. Mr. Fox seconded the amendment. Mr. Foss said, that whether the period was limited to one or three years, Mr. Bowring had given an answer to himself, when he contemplated the possibility of losing the best services by the event o f t h e l ot . Mr. BOWRING.—I beg to say that I am not inconsist ent with myself. My object was to secure the most com petent Members in the Direction, and if any arrangement had been made to that effect, I should not press the amendment. The amendment arm then put, and lost by a majority. Mr. Moxosi said that gross misrepresentations had been advanced by the old Directors. He was proceed ing to say something about swindling appearances, when a universal shout of indignation was raised against him. A PROPRIETOR begged him to desist from the use of such language as might not be heard by Gentlemen, He defied him to point out a more respectable body of Directors in the Empire, not even excepting those of the Bank of England. He concluded by moving that the language of Mr. Moxon appeared to the meeting highly indecorous. A l i ttoratrrols hoped that Mr. Meson would be allowed to ex plain his own words. Anotbtr Paorairrox.--He bad no business to employ the lan guage, whatever explanation he may now think proper to give. Mr. SHEAR:is called on Mr. Moxon to make whatever charges he pleased, and the Directors were prepared to reply. Mr. Moxox—Mr. Mittman, I had not the slightest idea of say ing that the Company and their servants were swindiers—{Much laughter). A motion was made that the new constitutions should be printed; but, after some discussion, it was deemed better that manuscript copies should be left at the office of the Company, for the inspection of the Proprietors. LORD COCHRANE. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. MALTA, Sarriuma 15, 182 C. The arrival of Lord Cochrane in the Mediterranean, in the Unicorn yacht, excites hopes and fears alternately among the friends of the Greeks and Turks in this quarter, in proportion as the report gains ground, of his Lordship being likely, or otherwise, to operate against the Turkish Beet, with a squadron of steam-vessels. Till now, his movements have been confined to Messina and Cagliari; but it is not likely his Lordship will make either of these places his rendezvous, as he was treated very unceremoniously at Messina, the last time the yacht put in there. His Lordship, as is stated, arrived without a bill of health ; consequently he could not be admitted to pre tique on the Continent, and, therefore, he dispatched a Mr..Hesketh, one of his suite, to Malta, to ascertain whether a bill of health could be procured there, and to collect what information he could respecting the Greek cause. When Mr. Hesketh returned to Messina, he asked the Magistrate of Police permission to send over to his Lord ship some letters and written papers, which, he said, referred entirely to family matters. Leave was granted, but the moment the papers were placed on the bayonet of the guard, to be passed over to his Lordship's boat, the worthy Magistrate seized upon the letters, vi et ermis, and carried off his Lordship's secrets in triumph. He remained at Messina two days after this act of violence was committed, but could procure ne redress, nor the return of bis papers; he then sailed for this island, where he arrived on Friday, the Ist inst. On the Monday he sent a memorial to the Govern ment, praying to be admitted to pratique, which the Marquis kindly granted, on condition that his Lordship was not to land on the island. This was done as much to avoid false reports, and injurious impressions, which might be circulated by either party, from the mere cir cumstance of his landing, as to preserve that perfect neutrality which our Government implicitly enjoins. His Lordship sailed yesterday, having lest a Mr. Stevenson behind, to act as Agent ; but whether he is gone to Messina, Cagliari, Genoa, or Marseilles, we are quite ignorant. Various are the reports circulated here ; some say that the intended expedition against the Turks, which his Lordship was to command, has entirely failed, through she supineness of the Committee in London; others say, the squadron of steam boats is actually in the Mediter ranean, and that his Lordship is gone to the place of rendezvous for the purpose of final arrangement. However, there is reason to believe that his Lordship is very much dissatisfied with the conduct of the Com mittee, and other individuals, in London, as he is now more than three months out, without any information whatever respecting the steam vessels, which irritates and annoys him extremely. My own opinion is, that he has sailed direct for Mar seilles ; and, if he should think it safe, to pass through France to England, in order to have an explanation with the members of the Committee. The Gannet sails oa Sunday, for Alexandria, hawing on board Colonel Davison, who proceeds to Cairo with important dispatches for the Viceroy of Egypt. Colonel llsvisoa is a Gentleman peculiarly suited for such a mission, being well acquainted with the otiental manners and customs; and does honour to the Noble Marquis, who selected him for such an undertaking. P.S. 1 have just now learned, that Lord Cochrane sailed for Hydra, in expectation of finding the steam vessels there ; but should he nor, his Lordship intends returning to England with all speed. The Eliza, Captain Fuze, of Liverpool, Sept. I, in lat. 52, 27. and long. 2.5. 10. was plundered by a Greek pirate, of eight guns a side. After taking bales, packages, and money, they placed before the Captain and hlate a form of paper, which they ware obliged to sign, atter which they departed. This is the anniversary of the death of King John, 1216; and of Callas ine,Empress of Russia, 1796 ; and the birth of Richard (usually called Beau) Nash, the celebrated Master of the Ceremonies at Bath, 1674. A German chemist has proposed a means of purify ing the infected air at Groningen, of which a trial has been made, •and it is said with success. A number of faggots, which had been previously covered with pitch and tar, acre placed in loins of the principal streets, and then ignite. CANTERBURY, 0CT.17. A serious riot took place in this city on Saturday evening,. originatinz, we believe, in a dispute between some soldiers and some countrymen at the fair. Several of the former afterwards passing through the streets, in a tumultuous manner, some of the citizens were as saulted, and it became necessary to shut up most of the shops to preserve the windows. As the City Sessions are to be held on Thursday, we abstain from entering into further particulars, in order that the case o' the soldiers may not be prejudiced, three of them having been iden tified, and fully committed for trial on Saturday night. Wm. Mitchell, a labourer at the Deanery, and for merly a servant of Lieut. General Sir Henry Montresor, has undergone repeated examinations on the charge of arson at Denne Hill, in this county, the residence of Sir Henry, in which every particle of evidence, real and circumstantial, was scrupulously investigated. !t ap pears that the premises were set on fire in several places, and but for the timely discovery by Lady Montresor, the destruction of the mansion was inevitable. The case altogether is one of deep criminality. Mitchell's own account of himself is.involved in much mystery, which time alone can clear up. A robbery was committed lately at Park Farm, under the following circumstances Hammorden Major's servant was called up at three o'clock, who supposing it was one of the workmen, went down stairs and opened the door, when he was immediately knocked down by Itwo men, and taken to a wood at a short distance, with his hands tied behind him, and guarded by them, each with a pistol and bludgeon, till near six o'clock, while two other men robbed that part of the house occupied by the servants, and took away two beds, with the blankets, &c. several copper saucepans, and a clothes' chest belonging to the men, containing clothes, and 161 in money. The box was found in an adjoining field. The four men were disguised by their faces being blackened, and wore long frocks. A great many hops have been disposed of in this neigh bourhood, within the last week, owing to a rise taking place in the article, several East Kent growth have been disposed of from 955. to 1085.; and at our market, on Saturday last, a large lot of Canterbury bags were sold at 100 s., and from the estimation the Canterbury and the East Kent hops are held in by the brewers generally, and from their stock being so completely exhausted, although the crop may be a libe ral one, the whole will be wanted, and we trust, at still better prices. The hop-picking is finished in this neighbourhood, and we can safely add. of a produte far exceeding what was expected, The very low prices which the necessitot“ planters have been compelled to submit to, appear to have had the effect of bringing the buyers more into the market. Many sales have been made within these few days, and our planters anticipate, at our fair next Tues day, much higher prices, and a great deal of business, THE MLIRDERti NEAR LEATHERHEAD. In the account which appeared in the Sr4R of yes terday, relative to the murders committed near Lea therhead, it was stated that three officers belonging to Union Hall Police Office had been dispatched into the country, in different directions, on receipt of the Rev. Mr. Bolland's letter, for the purpose of tracing the route of Mary Ayres (the grand-daughter of the deceased John Akehurst) and her paramour, both of whom, it will be remembered, together with two other persons, were seen in the immediate neighbourhood where the murders were perpetrated on the ensuing morning. at an early hour. From the testimony of some labouring men, who gave intimation of the circumstances to the Rev. Mr. Rolland, it appeared that the before mentioned persons were seen driving donkies towards Esher, in Surrey.— Agreeable to this information, it was decided that the chief constable should proceed without delay to Brentwood, in Essex, the fair having commenced on that day, and as the suspected persons were known to be in the habit of frequenting them. Mr. Hall soon arrived at his destination, and immediately commenced a search through the fair ' and through. out the town ; the whole of the lodging houses resorted to by the lower classes were minutely ex amined, but he could not gain the slightest intelligence of the persons whom he wanted. The chief constable then crossed the country, and visited another village, at which a wake was holding, but he had as little success here as at Brentwood ; and after having distributed handbills, describing the murders through the whole hue of country which he passed, he returned to town yesterday about two o'clock, and quitted it again almost immediately, for the purpose of proceeding in another direction, with great hopes of succeeding its the appre hension of the suspected persons, Pople, the officer, who also set out on the same day with the chief constable, proceeded with all haste to Farningham, in Kent, where a fair had then com menced. He also thoroughly examined the fair, and he could discover no persons there answering the de scription of those whom he was looking after, although he saw a great number of tramper." (Mary Ayres and her paramour are tramper.), who had crossed the country to Farningham from Leatherhead, for the pur pose of attending the fair in the former place. Pople, finding there was no clue by which he could trace them in that direction, returned to town yesterday morning, when'he related that a robbery had been committed in the Lion public-house, at Farningham, where he had taken up his quarters fbr the night. The thieves, it ap peared, broke into the house after the family and lodg ers had retired to bed, and possessed themselves of the whole stock of eatables, consisting of boiled and roast meat, cheese, butter, and eggs, which the landlord had lain in a good stock of, to meet the appetites of his cus tomers during the fair. Very shortly after Pople's arrival in town he was dis patched in another direction after the persons who are suspected of having been implicated in the dreadful scenes that occurred at Fetcham. 6rassmith also hav ing left town on the receipt of the Rev. Mr. Bolland's letter, for the purpose of proceeding into the neigh- , bourhood where the suspected persons were seen imme diately subsequent to the murders, has not yet returned to town. ihnguine expectations are entertained that Ayres and the man with whom she cohabits, will be in custody insintdiatcly. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Ocv. 18. The arrivals still continue to come in freely, with the exception of English Oats. The Wheat trade remains the unto as on Monday, with little doing. Barley, Beans, and Peas support last prices; and the trade for Oats is rather lively, at the same terms as last quoted. —Arrivals : English Wheat, 2,550 qrs. Barley, 2,950 qrs. Oats, 640 qrs.

His Grace the Duke of Richmond and Lord Dunwicb have to day introduced a new moveable Stand, on the principle of that so long used by the Duke of Portland, with the addition of an awning, to shelter them from any unfavourable change in the weather.
