It has been a subject of wonder, by has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been 4ought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts i leerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, N gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a ',Perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get animal into condition, but in vain. He then boug h t some Thorley's grew and he say s the effect urse was wonderful. The gained rapidly fat, and in the co of a few weeks had '"ined no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri eldtural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which j ‘s arried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor `Y's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we f,Le forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely ens its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can Who alone from the good opinion and testimony of those have tried it.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIKEA with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative - syst*, or kvexual Hypechrondriasis. _ _ Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readersby his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addreised himself to the non-medicAreader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equallyfla! - 2,Tant evil which it may be inhis power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has. conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unquallfied adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

Any. defence of so important a department of the liberty of the [press as the right to criticise foreign Governments is happily a work of super erogation, Liberty of thought and speech is the very air which an Englishman breathes from his birth ; he could not understand living in another atmosphere. Nor when you once allow this liberty can you restrict the range of its subjects. The . principle must have free exercise, or it dies. There is no medium. It would be fatal to say, " Discuss home matters, but not foreign ones." A press so confined would lack the inspiration of that, universal sympathy which is necessary to sustain its spirit. Every issue of an English journal speaks to the whole world ; that is its strength ; it lives by its universality ; that idea imparts conscious power, elevates the tone and braces the will of this great impersonality, invigorates the statement, points the epithet, and nails the argument, It could not speak with half the power it does on domestic sub jects if it could not speak of foreign ; it could not fly with its wings clipped ; it wou ld not b e t h e i whole which it s ; it would cease to be an epitome of the world : its voice would grow fainter and fainter, and this life under an interdict would not be worth having. We need not say that the Montalembert trial and the protests which it has raised from the Eng lish press in part suggest these remarks: But we are also reminded of this subject by the recent news from Belgium. Whoever doubts the great importance of foreign criticism as an element in the press and an integral part of its very life should take warning by the fate of the Belgian press. This crippled state which we have been just de scribing has been, in fact, the state of the Belgian press ever since the Conference of Paris. The fierce reclamations of the French Government, in which that Conference basely acquiesced, frightened the Belgian press into complete silence . upon French affairs. It has been for more than two years warned off a particular port ion,and that from circumstances a most critical portion, of European ground ' • and now see the result. A p ress s h ac kl e d in it s subject matter is, as a next step, load e d w ith p ena lties. It has ceased to be a foreign critic ;. it is now no longer an efficient home one . Th e aws upon the press are to be sharpened, there is to be a two years' additional impriscninent for offences of the press, and, what Belgium has not known before, a stirred lance of police is to follow. 'What is the reason for all this ? Has the Belgian press shown a revolutionary spirit ? Quite the contrary. No press trial of any importance has occurred for a long time. The reason simply is, that it is a crippled press, that a crippled press cannot defend itself, and that what cannot defend itself is sure to suffer. A confined press, shut out from European events, is a lifeless, soulless press,—a press which nobody cares for ; it is ripe for suppression. We call attention the more readily to this sub ject because we are aware that there are circles in this country to which the news of anything befall ing the press is very far from being wholly pain ful news. It is utterly impossible to prevent side currents of reaction in a country. One would have imagined that the mighty watchword of " the Liberty of the Press" would have disarmed, at least in this country, not only speech but thought; that disaffection to it would be unknown ; but no great popular institution will ever exist without opposition in some quarters, and the more esta blished, it is the more criticism it will provoke. There are minds of a critical, fastidious type, that are almost sure to take exception to any esta blished order of things in which they live, especially if it brings out the roughnesses and crudities of the human material at all prominently-. A free press, it is admitted,'does this pre-eminently —it is the effect of it as a whole which constitutes its triumph ' • the actual working of it is full of jars and discords ; a great many toes are trodden on ; people have to hear things said about them. which they by no means like ; and your fine gentleman is often a good deal ruffled, and says to his finer inner self "Really, really, this is very unpleasant." Our Parliament is another rough institution which breeds considerable awkwardness and collisions. When these gentlemen get to g ether they form small spheres of more or less reactionary thought. It becomes fashionable and a mark of esoteric pro gress to criticise popular institutions ; " they are coarse, vulgar, unmanageable ; they produce an enormous waste of time and temper, wheel clashes with wheel, scheme fights scheme, there is too much talking and shouting- 7 -great cry and little wool." An effective foreign despotism presents itself in • anything but a disagreeable aspect to minds thus warped by over-criticism. These are the evils with which they are brought into contact ; they easily bring themselves to feel a kind of spite at patriotic watchwords ; they are provoked at finding the main current so. dead against them ; the more everybody else likes these institutions the more they are resolved to be cold and fastidious about them ; theyhate a crowd ; they like smooth ways. A well-administered foreign despotism, then, that avoided blunders, did everything quietly and snugly, and could appeal to louvres and Cher bourgs restored without a single public meeting or one debate, would have considerable charm for these minds ;it would, in fact, be their beau ideal. ' So long as there are different types of mina in the world, so long it will be impossible to prevent these fastidious, splenetic side-currents of reaction, in such a country as ours. It is the very tendency of everything established, whatever it may be, to provoke contradiction ; you cannot prove ever so known a truth but the very circumstance that others believe it will be the great charm and the motive to some for disbelieving it. Then, when a small circle is formed, the sympathy of secret brother hood arises, the feeling that you are right and all the world is wrong. This spirit of contradiction will attack established popular institutions, just as it will attack common maxims and received principles in all departments. The mistake is when persons who find their way accidentally into these sets think that there is a real, bona fide, reaction in the intellect of the country . There is nothing of the sort. These side-protests are - part of the law of established truth ; t'iey attend the development of right principles as certainly as the shadow attends upon the light. The main national current of thought goes steadily on, the institutions continue to develop upon their own basis, the liberty of the press is as strong as ever, representative government is as strong as ever, everything national, is as strong as ever, and these secret protests and. recalcitrations only show the firmness of the basis on which all these institu tions rest; but they should be at the same time mementoes to us not to lose sight of the defence of them.— Times. THE ANNUAL STATEMENT OF TRADE. The Board of Trade has just issued the state ment of Trade and Navigation for the 'year 1857, and although its general results have been :alre - ady anticipated by the publication of the « Statistical Abstract," yet its appearance will be very welcome to those who desire to examine more closely into the progress made in the several branches of flit.- home and foreign trade of the kingdom. There are, however, some new tables introduced into the volume this year which render it more than ordinarily interesting, we allude to the accounts of trade at the principal ports in each division of the kingdom, which possesses a local as well as a gene ral interest. These new tables are full of information, and some of the facts they bring to light will probably astonish the greater part of our readers. Not every one knows that the value of British produce and manufactures exported from the port of Liverpool alone amounts as nearly as possible to one-half of the total exports from England and Wales, double that from London, and to considerably more than the entire exports from some of the European nations,. no wonder then, that Liverpool is a great and flourishing city ! • _ . But let us glance at the tables in order, and first with regard to the import account. As Liverpool occupies the chief position as a port of exporintion, so London holds the first rank as a port of impor tation, the gr ea t er b u lk of the du ing ty-pa) ar ticles being entered there. In the year 1857 no less a sum than upwards of eleven millions ster ling, or exactly half of the total receipts, was re ceived in the port of London from custom duties. Next to London, Liverpool takes her stand, and then Bristol, Hull, &c., but we have no space to refer to th e several trades of each port, or to the particular trades at particular ports, as the cotton and silk trades at Liverpool and Southampton for example • a brief inspection of the tables, however , will make the whole matter clear to the most un lettered in statistics. As we have stated above with reference to the British export trade, Liverpool absorbs the greatest shares ; then London, Hull, Newcastle, and South ampton. It is a curious fact that the value of the direct exports from the whole of the Scotch ports amount to little more than half that from the port of Hull alone, while the whole of the direct trade from Irish ports (little more than a quarter of a million sterling) is less than double the amount of the exports from Goole. The other accounts relating to the exports of foreign and colonial produce, and the gross receipts of customs duties at each of the ports in the king dom, possess considerable interest, for all persons convected with trade. Tho continuation of the whole series of tables from year to year, in addition to being most useful to merchants, will be of great service to all companies and persons engaged in the formation of the means of transit both by laud and by sea, _ _ THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1858.

THE PRECESSION OF THE EQUINOXES Mr. Poinsot, the distinguished Member of the Institute, and celebrated for the discovery of the theory of couples in mechanics, has recently solved an important problem, which has baffled the in genuity of mathematicians since the time of New ton. It is well known that the intersections of the terrestrial equator with the ecliptic, called the equinoxes, never occur twice at the same point, but that every year they appear to recede by about 50.18 seconds. This retrograde motion is called the " precession of the equinoxes." To explain this motion by the theory of universal gravitation be came an important problem at the time when Newton made that great discovery. He himself attempted an explanation of it, but the imperfect state of astronomy arthat period deprived him of the advantage of certain data which were indis pensable to arrive at the desired solution. In 1747, Bradley, by a series of laborious observations, patiently continued for the space of ;20 years, at length ascertained that the earth's axis had a pecu liar swinging motion, of which no astronomer before him had even suspected 7the existence, and this motion he called " nutation." He also proVed that this nutation, which causes the axis of the earth to describe in space a sort of fluted cone, having a base of an elliptical form, but modified • by certain minute undulations, about 1,400 in number, was closely connected with the motion of preces sion. D'Alembert then took up the problem, and in 1749 published , a solution of it, which indeed accounts for the above motions in a general way, but is far from sufficient to explain the cause of those singular undulations which the pole of the earth describes. The delicacy of the question will be easily understood from the fact that within the compass of the earth the axis appear' s to have no motion at all, and that the phenomenon of nuta tion is only perceptible at an immeasurable dis tance in the heavens. We now come to Mr. Poin sot's admirable solution, founded on his well-known a ti o predecessors,n which, theory of couples. N e g lectin g all useless useless consi he proves by mathematical de r ations that had embarrassed calculations, c h u l l considering the difficulty of the problem, have the [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Sore Throat, Quinsy, Ulcerated Throat, Diphtheria.

The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and.numerous, that it was predicted the new disease, piphtheria, consisting of small ash-coloured ulcers in the interior of the throat. attended by fever often fatal, might be arrested by the same means, and such has been the case.

The Queen has just opened the Chambers. Her Majesty spoke as " Senors, Senators, and Deputies—l hove come with feelings of lively satisfaction to inaugurate your labours. Surrounded by the representatives of the nation, who at all times have given me the most marked proofs of their affection and loyalty, I am strengthened. in the hope_ that, under the sha. dow of the throne, Spain will enjoy tranquilly the advantages of constitutional government, and will attain the power which - once - was hers, through the courage and science of her children - , her religious piety, and the wise rule of her monarchs. visiting last summer certain provinces of the monarchy I had occasion to become acquainted with the wants of the country, as with its progress, which is due in great measure to the reforms adopted, with the co-operation of the Cortes, during my reign, I received everywhere proofs of the love and respect which Spaniards hava ever manifested towards their monarchs ; and I recall with delight the enthusiastic marks of adhesior to my royal per son. -My august Consort and our children were the object of similar demonstrations of loyalty; and, I only regret that the Prince of Asturias could not, by reason of his tender age, fix them in an indelible manner in his heart. I hope that; recounted by me, they will awaken in him the virtues of the magna- - nimous kings who have preceded him, and that one day he will correspond to the love of his mother, by devoting himself with zeal to ensure the happiness of the nation which Providence has destined to him. " The Supreme Pontiff continues to give me dis tinguished proofs of his benevolence, and in my lively desire to end the difficulties created by the vicissitudes of the times, I have given instructions to my Ambassador at Rome to arrange with the Holy See in a manner the most conducive to the interests of the Church and the State the solution . of all pending luestions, " I have the satisfaction to announce to you that our relations with friendly powers are at this nn ment most cordial and sincere. " I have adopted all the means compatible with the national dignity to prevent peace being dis turbed between two countries bound by fraternal ties ; but if, contrary to my wishes and hopes, an immediate result is not obtained by pacific negotia aton and temp erance i n i with a vigour and energy tions, I will employ the resources already p re p are d in u demands, moder the long period of the differences existing with the Government' of Mexico. _ e s gy pp e n q rt ual of to m they " Some ships of the squadron, assembled at the Havannah, are stationed in the river at Tampico, and also in the waters of the island of Sacrificios, with the object of protecting the interests and the lives of my subjects. " The Emperor of Morocco, recognising, as he I had now done -up to the present, a principle embo died-in the treaties concluded with Spain, in virtue of which he'has agreed to pay an indemnity for the ship _captured.:by. the Moors of the Riff more than two years ago, I hope that he will continue to satisfy in like manner my demands; that I may no longer be obliged to have recourse to force to ensure respect to the Spanish flag, and that there will be no repetition' of the excesses committed, against our fortresses and:our merchant ships by the. Moors of the Riff at various periods. • " The outrages -of which our missionaries were the victims in Asia have obliged me to - send, in conjunction with the Emperor of the ,French, a military expedition to Cochin China.. Tbe land and sea force will, not, should the occasion occur, be below the traditions and the memory of the exploits wittich always • distinguish the Spanish soldier•when defending the 'interests and the hoiiour of his coun try and his Sovereign. " The army which, 'by its courage and discipline, has constantly rendered so many eminent services, became each day more deserving of my Royal bene volence, and of the gratitude of the country ; as also the navy, whose progress gave me complete satisfaction on my visiting one of our principal maritime establishments. " The condition of the ultramarine provinces con - tinue's to be most flourishing. The reform introduced in the administration by my Government give, and will continue to give, on a larger scale, the best re sults that the nation can expect from them. And I feel great pleasure in assuring you that efficacious measures have been adopted that our neglected pos sessions of the Guif of Guinea may attain the com mercial importance which belongs to them by their geographical position. " My Government, having in view the re-estab lishment of the empire of the law, has relieved the whole country from the state of siege without the profound tranquillity it enjoyed being disturbed. " A provident policy which improves the present without .destroying it,.which labours to develop sure though slow progress in all the branches of the ad ministration, will conciliate the public mind and render possible the co-oneration of Spaniards in consolidating the prosperity of the nation, and the sincere practice of consatutional Governments. " My Government will lay before you various projects of law having for their object the carrying out of this intention. The country has long required a law on the press which shall permit, under the protection of the jury, free discussion on the public interests, and on the acts o: the Ministers, but -which shall defend the rights and the prerogatives of the Throne, the powers of the Cortes, the Catholic re ligion, and the honour of the citizens. " It will be necessary also to introduce in the laws on municipal corporations (AyanZamientos) and provincial councils (Nnttacioneo Provineiales) meliorations which shall facilitate the intervention of the people in their own immediate interests with out embarrassing the action of the Government and which shall give them the resources indispensable for their requirements, without, however, placing obstacles in the collection of the imposts and re venue of the Treasury. By way of complement to these meliorations, laws on the Council of State, on the Councils General, and Departmental Govern ments will be submitted to you with the view of re gulating the administration, facilitating its action, and giving to public and private interests more se curity in their conduct and their justice. " The estimates for 1859 will be immediately laid before you without any new imposts. The revenue and the public taxes will suffice to meet the ordi nary expenditure of administration. Other wants for which these do not suffice require special mea sures which my Government will submit to you. And with these means, carrying out their general plan of progress and melioration, they will provide for the repairs of the churches, for public works, materiel for the army and navy, and the penal and charitable establishments. " The sale of the communal property and that of other civil corporations being still carried on, new bases will be proposed to you for redeeming the long leases (Ernphyteoses) and for the better invest ment of the proceed of the said sales. " A harvest, if not abundant, at least more favour able than for the last few years, offers an occasion to establish regulations for the importation of grain, and for reconciling the interests of agriculture with those of commerce, so as to secure the subsis tence of the poorer classes. Countries which are indebted to nature for a soil sa fertile as that of Spain ought not to abandon the food of their populations to the uncertain speculations of trade, but rather aid the power of production by facilitating irrigation and removing the obstacles which, in the mortgage system and in the condi tions of credit, oppose the developments of prosper rity. Projects of law on this head will in due time be laid before you, in harmony with the pro gre3s of agriculture, economy, and social require ' ments. " The chief obstacle in the way of our agricul ture is the want of internal communication to equalise production and consumption in different provinces. With the impulse given to the con struction of railroads by certain companies, with tranquillity in the country, and the assistance of the Treasury, the day is at hand when the nation will enjoy the advantages of rapid communication. The Government will propose to you measures for the formation of the most important lines, and for, connecting them with a system of ordinary roads over all the productive points uf our terri tory. "Projects of law on mines, &c., will also be sub mitted to you. _ _ " You will also have to occupy yourselves with other grave and numerous affairs, but they will not be above your strength or your patriotism. ." By exami n i ng w ith a tt en ti on th e projects that will be laid before you, and by aiding to re-establish among the Spanish people unity of sentiments — the source, one day, of th e i r gr eatness and their glory—God will bless our labours ; and, for myself, I shall obtain that which my , heart desires most— the wealth, the power, and the prosperity of the Spanish nation." CO..VSE RVATIVE 13-4 ND SOCIETY. ANNUAL MEETING.—(THIS DAY.) The sixth annual, and twenty-fifth quarterly, meeting of this society was held, this day, at Exeter Hall. Viscount RANELAGII, chairman of the directors, presided. The usual routine business having been disposed of, the following report, which was agreed to unanimously, was read : An additional year having been added, on the 30th of September last, to the financial history of the Conservative Land Society, it becomes the pleasing duty of the. Executive Committee to fur nish their Sixth Balance Sheet and Annual Ab stract of Accounts. It will not have escaped the attention of the shareholders, that the operations:of the past year commenced under an extraordinary pressure on the money market, which, towards the close of the first quarter, increased to the extent of a general commercial panic, the terrible shock of which shook the fabric of speculation to the very centre. In the second quarter the value of money sensibly declined, and for the last half-year has been at a very low rate. The blow given to credit and confidence was, -however so severe, that no re turn of animation and vitality in enterprise has been as yet exhibited. Notwithstanding the abun dance of money, and the low discounts, there has been no reaction in the appetite for legitimate ad venture. Joint-Stock Companies and Limited Lia bilities Companies of all kinds, have more or less experienced the effects of languor and inactivity. Land Societies must be classed as safe investments, inasmuch as a substantial security is ready at all times for the acceptance of investors, by taking plots of land. The Executive Committee felt that it would be more expedient and prudent to make no purchases during the year, to rely partly on the allotment of such estates as were on hand, and to depend mainly on the Reserve Fund for any de ficiency of income over outlay. In order to carry out this policy, the current year's expenditure was reduced so effectively, that the amount actually appropriated from the Reserve Fnnd has been se cured entirely from the interest• that has accrued thereon, leaving the present amount £8,097 3s. Bd., an excess of nearly £3OO over its original figure. In announcing that the cash receipts for the year were £46,393 7s. 2d., bringing up the total receipts in six years to upwards of £312,000, whilst the total withdrawals for the same period only reach about £68,000, and the total sale of land is more than £219,000, the committee feel that they are entitled to entertain confidence in the stability and security of the society, the more especially as in the actual quarter an extended field of business has been entered upon. It will depend entirely on the ex tent of support given by the public at large, whe ther as shareholders or merely as depositors, to render the society totally independent of its land operations at periods when it may be politic not to increase the stock of land on hand. The new system was set forth in the last quarterly report ; and it is a satisfaction for the committee to record that from every part of the country expressions of confidence in its future successful working have been cordially expressed.

These were the only allotments of the year, the committee not deeming the time opportune to pre sent, through the order of right, the remaining portions of the Brighton and Tunbridge Wells estates. As regards the sale of land on the Win- Chester estate in North Hants, there is every reason to be satisfied, and the future disposal of the whole may be returned as a certainty, such is the un doubted eligibility of the site. Building, in fact, has already begun, and the subscriptions for the new church on the estate are progressing well, the noble examples of the bishop of the diocese and the Rev. Canon Carus having, it may be safely asserted, secured the erection of the sacred edifice. The donation of £3,000 by the rev. canon cannot be passed over in this report without a tribute of admiration, The committee receive the assurances from gentle men of local knowledge, that after the completion, on the Prestwich estate, of the roads and drains, the admirable position of the land for building purposes will secure a favourable result. The Board has little to report as to the other estates, many of which, however, have latterly ex hibited signs of advance as regards the covering of the land by villas and houses. The consecration of St. John's Church on the Tunbridge Wells by the Archbishop of Canterbury on the sth of January last, must lead to the development of that fine pro perty, and the promptitude with which the edifice was erected is likely to be imitated on the Maid stone estate. The breaking down of builders on the Brighton estate is one of the apparently inevi table episodes of speculation, in that yearly rising and popular watering place • but as the want of houses is on the increase, the Round Hill estate, the salubrity of which is one of its most attractive features, must have its turn sooner or later. The renewal of the works for the railroad between Wor cester and Hereford, will lead, no doubt, to the in creasing attraction of the picturesque Malvern Hills, and the estate of the society on the western side f the range will ultimately prove of undoubted value to the fortunate allottees. The committee regret that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests have not yet evinced any token of yielding to public opinion, by granting facilities of landing on the Surrey side of the railroad bridge at St. Margaret's. It is lamentable that the progress of such a magni ficent estate should be impeded by a miserable ques tion of a ferry right. There are numerous persons most anxious to build if they can but have the privilege of crossing the river by a proposed foot passage to the ex isting bridge, but although the City Corporation and the South-Western Railway have displayed every readiness to assist the holders of the land at St. Margaret's, the Woods and Forests still insist on an indemnity for a ferry toll, of which the legality is extremely doubtful, as applied to the locality required for the landing. The committee, in reference to the promotion of building on estates, cannot too strongly reiterate their advice to allottees, to attend to the cultivation of their plots, whilst waiting for offers of ground rent, or for an eligible opportunity to build. Every shilling laid out for gardening purposes must im prove the land for the ultimate purpose it is intended for, namely, the creation of a villa or house. There are many holders of land who are successfully fol lowing up the system, and are thus realising some interest for the investment. Another suggestion the committee would throw out to allottees is, to look at least to the keeping up of their boundary pegs, if they do not go to the extent (which would be still more advisable) of erecting fences under the conditions of sale. It has been remarked that some of the loudest whO cry out against the poverty-stricken appearance of the land are those who pay the least_attent ion to its develop ment. Combination amongst allottees ought not to cease with the division of an estate—on the con trary it ought to continue, for the realisation must essentially depend on the carrying out of the mutual principle in building as well as that in the acquisi tion of the land. The committee will cordially co operate in these combinations of allottecs, so far as the rules of the society will permit. There was one public meeting held this year, namely, at Winchester, on the 21st of April, prior to the :allotment of the estate. The ordinary quarterly meetings of the society were held at the offices in Norfolk-street on the 13th of April, the 13th of July, and the sth of October. The auditors elected at the last meeting, on behalf of the society, were Messrs. Harding and Ritchie, and the Rev. Mr. Goodchild and Mr. Winstanley, on the part of the board. On the 18th and 19th of November last, the four auditors met and verified the vouchers and accounts and signed the balance sheet. The valuable services of J. W. Huddlestcn, Esq., having been lost to the board, on his nomination as PRICE 4D • STAMPED, 5D Queen's Counsel, the Hon. and Rev. W. C. Talbot was elected by the committee, who have just had to regret the loss of the late T. Booker Blakemore, Esq., one of the respected members of the county of Hereford. The following members of the Executive Com mittee retire from office by - rotation, but are eligible for reelection, namely :—Borlase Hill Adams, Esq., the Earl of Bective, M.P. Hon. Robert Bourke, T. Knox Holmes, Esq., Viscount Ingestre, M.P., and Newham Winstanley, Esq., who offer them• selves for re-election. The contradictory decisions of the revising bar risters this year have again defied all calculations as to the value of the land conferring a 40s. free• hold, notwithstanding the clear judgment obtained by the Society in the Court of Common Pleas. Although, in the aggregate, the society's claims have been allowed, yet some of the allottecs on the Brighton, Reading, and Maldon estates, have been struck off the lists. The inconsistency of the de cisions of the revising barristers will not, it is hoped, escape the attention of the Legislature next session. The right of appeal from the Regis tration Court to a higher Court should not be left to the sole discretion of the presiding barrister. It was at the termination of protracted meetings, after a most rigid and searching inquiry into the past transactions, in order to determine the future course of operations, the executive committee came to the conclusion that the Conservative Land Society possessed the essentials of durability, quite independently of its original political position, and that by careful and conscientious management in the formation of a new business, by due exertions of the members, and by the activity of the general committee and provincial agents, increased social advantages might be conferred on all classes of the community. The past year has been to the board one of the most anxious periods of the society's career, inasmuch as after the disappearance of two wars, and the cessation of an unparalleled commer cial crisis, disturbing causes sufficient to account for the utter stagnation in the building trades, the committee naturally anticipated that the cheapness of money would have resuscitated the industrial interests. The contrary has been the case, and the period arrived when the committee found that it was necessary not to rely exclusively on the yearly sale of land, as an exclusive source of profit. The new prospectus issued last quarter has been the result of long and anxious deliberations, and the reduction of guaran teed interest from 5 to 4 per cent. per annum, from the 30th of September last, in completed shares, and shares paid a year in ad advance, was the natural and inevitable result of the variation in the value of money. For the faci litating of business, and on grounds both of expe diency and economy, it became imperative to con centrate the legal and surveying business at the same offices where the ordinary share enrolment of members and the s e lli ng o f land took place. At Christmas the centralisation will be carried out, and the beneficial results, it is hoped, will appear in next year's balance-sheet. It was in the July report that the acquisition of the Weymouth estate,.to go through the society's allotment system, was announced. The plan is in preparation, and in the spring it is proposed to offer the first portion through the order of rights. In addition to this valuable property, it was, after the late quarterly meeting, the executive com mittee in full confidence that a favourable oppor tunity only was wanting to carry out the society's main principle, the buying and selling of land, purchased the oehampton estate, the property of the Earl of Bessborough, and the residence of the late Mr. Robarts, the banker. This estate is a very large investment, but it is one the great value of which, for the interests of the society, there has been but one opinion, as no estate hitherto offered has presented such a variety of modes in which it can be turned to a profitable account; and if even tually divided, presents building frontages to Rich mond Park and Putney Heath of the highest at traction. The completion of the purchase only waits the ie3ult of those legal inquiries which the society, for the protection of allottees, so carefully institutes ; the committee in this report have to congratulate the shareholders on this most valuable acquisition. In conclusion, the executive committee cannot but offer their congratulations to the members, on Ow improved prospects of the society at this period, over those which existed at the last annual report, and by energetic and economical management, they entertain every expectation to turn to profitable account the capital already invested, and the future money which may be invested in the Conservative Land Society, relying fully on the confidence and support extended to them in previous years by the shareholders. (Signed) RANELAGII, Chairman. (Countersigned) C. L. GRUSEISEN, Sec. Offices, 33, Norfolk-street, Strand. London, Dec. 7th, 1858. After 50 numbers had been drawn from the wheel, and 25 added by seniority, for rights of choice on the society's estates, th e proceedings ter minated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. TEN YEARS AGO. It would be hard to imagine anything more en tirely. different froth. the state of things which all the signs of the times prognosticated in 1848 than the state of things which we now witness in Europe. Almost every expectation which the wisest man might then have fairly entertained has been utterly falsified. The events of that time have led to any results but those we look for, and the actors have:any parts but those they promised us. Smith O'Brien has been round the world; has come home somewhat sadder, and we feel sure much wiser, and now makes almost as strange a figure upon the po litical state as if he were a man of another genera tion. Thomas Francis Meagher, from the brilliant orator and whilome candidate for Parliament, with a gorgeous future before him, has dwindled into a lecturer on Costa Rica, with appropriate illustra tions, and editor of a local Irish newspaper. John Mitchel, when last seen, was the frantic defender of the rights of the poor labourer, of the liberties of the " mere caste" against the Anglo-Saxm caste. To-day he devotes his life t o preach ing the transportation and perpetual en slavement of a race weaker, more helpless, and more persecuted than even the Irish Celt. Louis Napoleon is no more seen on the shady side of Bond street, in seedy habiliments, or sneaking into the grand dining-room at St. James'. A thousand guards turn out and a thousand drums roll as he passes along the streets of the gayest capital in the world, the sovereign of one of the most powerful of empires. The Pope is back in Rome, and is safer there than ever he was since he assumed the triple crown—is disgusted with political reform, but deeply inte rested in infant Jews. Charles Albert is dead ; the Austrians are back in Lombardy ; Radetski and Haynau, the great men of 1848, are no more ; Kos suth is earning an honest and a painful living for himself and his family in Upper Gower-street, Lon don ; Georgey is making experiments in chemistry; Ledru Rollin muses over the decline of England at Brompton ; Louis Blanc seeks new material in the British Museum ; Laraartine is getting up subscriptions, not for the regeneration of na tions, but for his own support. Gavan Duffy is a leading politician at the antipodes. The repeal of the Union is never heard of in Ireland, and, in short, everything and everybody has disappointed everybody else. All the despotisms of the world are to all outward appearance a great deal more firmly rooted than ever they were. The cause of constitutional monarchy has gained Piedmont, but it has lost France, and no gains can co . mpensate . for such a loss, and the men who . served most faith fully are either, like Guizot,living in close retirement, or are, like Montalembert, pursued by the police.. Nowhere has the change been more marked than . in Ireland,where SmithO'Brienpasbeen gently . stirring the ashes of the old fire of agitation . . Since 1848 she sent a third of her population over here. Over 100,000,000 dols. worth of her real estate has changed, hands. Since the Elizabethan and Cromwellian con fiscations, no such revolution in property has ever taken place. Title-deeds Nvhich were given by Bl ac k Tom Wentworth , and still blacker Ironsides, and have ever since been untouched in the same strong boxes, have crumbled before the hammer of the Encumbered Estates Court. Mort gages and charg es a nd liens which 150 years of riotous living have been piling up to crush the unhappy peasantry into the dust have been swept away at one bl ow. T he most gratifying feature in the change is that of the £93,000,000 worth of estates which have been sold, £20,000,000 have been bought by Irishmen, and only about one-third byEnglishmen or Seotchmen. This is all that that great year of trading, writing, beseeching, specching, and fighting—ever me morable, sad, ridiculous 1848—has bequeathed Eu rope. Would it not be as well, under all the circum stances, to let it sleep in its grave ? To talk over it, as Mr. O'Brien is doing, can only serve to dis hearten the most sanguine patriot or philanthropist Europe can produce. The lesson the past teaches most strongly is the folly of being over-confident. —New York Times. :41. 1 41,Z1 4Ve 4 4. ~i
