We cannot undertake to return rejected communica tions'. % - ‘ l. • (rk: , • " pull down the Episcopalian•, and thus to achieve the required equality. The conditirm of the squire and the labcurer would be assimilated, as well by stripping :be former of his wide-spread domains, and compel', c),3 him to earn his daily bread by the sweat of bis .. . brow, as well es by endowing the latter with man sions, parks, and all the appliances for a tile of luxu rious indolence. Mr. BRIGHT adopts this course. His equality starts from this point, that " henceforth there is to be no Church in Ireland in connexion with the State." This is so simple and sati,factory a proposition that the Hon. Gentleman anticipates from it a very general and cordial welcome, not only from all outside the pale of the Establishment, but from many of its members, who are enlightened enough to see what is right and just enough to wish it to be done, so that but little doubt cen remain of the suc cessful termination of the onslaught about to be com menced on the devoted victim. Another question, however, remains to be disposed of---What is to be done with the spoil ? How are the funds now in the bands of the Irish Church to be appropriated? Here, too, there are two modes of arrangement. "The first and most simple plan would be to absorb"—convey, the wise call it—" the revenues of the Established Church, as the livings become vacant, and to apply them in some channel not Ecclosiasticsl,in which the whole population of I-eland could partici- pate. There are, however, objections to this plen which Mr. BRIGHT admits to be " of some force," viz., " that it would be herd on the Protestant Epis- copalians, after having so long pampered them with a munificent support, to throw them all at once on their resources; and that to withdraw the Regium Donum from the Presbyterians of the North when they have no other provision made for their religious wants, would be to create a just discontent among them." Another and more complicated arrangement is con sequently necessary, and that the Hon. Gentleman has " ready cut and dry" in a form for which he an ticipates " a general concurrence of opinion in its favour in Irelend, and a great amount of consent in England and Scotland." He first assumes that Church property in Ireland is worth 500,0001. per annum, which on a sale would realize 20 years' purchrse, or 10,000,000/. sterling. This assumption is, we fear, not very well founded. Even if 500,0001. per annum were realized at the present day, which, under the existing circumstances of the country, we greatly doubt, it would not, if offered for public competition, produce anything like 20 years' purchase—indeed, scarcely half that amount. It must be borne in mind, that well•circumstanced, real estates are now selling, with rare exceptions, at 14 or 15 years' purchase, and that they have even recently changed hands at a much lower figure. Could it then for a moment be supposed that "tithes"—at all times a very objectionable descrip tion of property, and peculiarly so when a scramble was going on for the appropriation awl general con _ _ fiscation of every kind of Church property—more espe cially of anything savouring of an ecclesiastical origin, would bring twenty or even fifteen years' purchase. The notion is perfectly ridiculous. It shows that Mr. BRIGIIT'S Irish experiences are not quite so ex tensive, or his information so accurate as he fancies. But putting the amount out of the question, as the principle does not depend thereon, let us see what he proposes. We shall adopt his own language. He says : " Let an Act be passed to establish a Church Pro perty Commission' for Ireland, and let this commission hold in rust, for certain purposes, all the tithes and other property now enjoyed by the Established Church ; let it, in fact, become possessed of the 10,000,0001. sterling, the income from which now forms the revenues of that Church, as the livings and benefices become vacant. It would be desirable to offer facilities to the landed pro priotore to purchase the tithes at an easy rate, in order that funds might be in hand to carry ont the other arrangements of the scheme. I have estimated the total value at 10,000,000/.; it might not reach that sum if the tithes were sold at a low rate ; but, whether it were 10,000,0001. or only 8,000,0001., would not affect the practicability or the justice of this proposition. Let this commission be empowered and directed to appropriate certain portions of this fund as a free gift to each of the three Churches in Ireland—to the Protestant Episcopa lian, the Presbyterian, and the Roman Catholic Church. Whatever is thus given must be a free gift, and become as much the private property of the respective sects or Churches as is the property;_of the Free Church in Scotland, or that of the Wesleyan Methodists in Eng land. It must no longer be a trust from the State, liable to interference or recal by the State, or the 'equality' and independence of the Irish sects will not be secured." What then is to be the amount of these gifts ? As there is to be "equality," Mr. BRIEHT assumes them at equal sums, or about 1,000,0001. to each, without reference to the numbers or exigencies of the parties. We cannot help thinking that the Regium Donum, which was no longer to be granted by Parliament, was the matter which the Hon. Gentleman had in his eye when fixing the amount. One million sterling might be considered a fair equivalent for the 40,0001. per annum now bestowed on the Presbyterian clergy. The same sum given to the Roman Catholics, would purchase —allowing 1,0001. for each of one thousand parishes—a house with from ten to twenty acres of land for the clergyman ; but, in return for this boon, the grant to Maynooth, 26,0001. per annum, should be withdrawn. One million more should be given to the Protestant Episcopalians on constituting themselves into a free Churbh. And in the plenitude of his bounty he would, " so long as they undertook to keep the churches in repair," permit them to re tain possession thereof at a nominal rent, for their own use only ; but when unable to keep them in repair, that they should be at the disposal of the Commis sioners to let or sell as they might think proper ! The balance of the fund, the 5,000,000/. or 7,000,0001, as the case might be, to be reserved for purposes strictly Irish, and directed to the educational and moral im provement of the people, without respect to class or creed. This is apparently a pleasing partition. The State would get off all payments to Presbyteriansor Roman Catholics, and pocket some five or seven millions,—the Presbyterians would exchange an annual grant of 40,0001., subject to a yearly discussion and division for a million sterling in hard cash. The Rouen Catholics would touch the like sum in consideration of surrendering the provision for the maintenance of Maynootb, with whom, we suppose, Trinity College would, on a like principle of "equality," be required to divide its estates,—while the Episcopalians would get the same amount as compensation for that of which they were deprived. No provision is by this projects made for the life estates of the present incumbents. Nur is it said into whose hands the million is to be paid, or what secu rity would be taken for the appropriation of the funds to the required purposes. Nor is it necessary, for the retention of the churches by the Episcopalians at once violates the principle of equality, and renders the measure unjust and oppressive, so that it will of course be at once repudiated by the "conference." It is unnecessary for Mr. BRIGHT to declare that he is neither Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, nor Pres byterian. The lengthy document be has just pub lished contains intrinsic evidence of the fact. The Irish as well as the English Church requires, urgently requires, extensive reforms; but Mr. BRIGHT hes not indicated the character of the reforms that would be acceptable to the people of "the United Kingdom." He has not discovered the solution of the Irish riddle, and may on that point justly exclaim, " Davus, non (Edipus sum." are visible Happily for the p eo p le of England there at the present moment, in various directions, the most strenuous endeavours to aid A in t ehducatie moreonal general diffu sion of enlightenment. n moveme n t has been so long talked of, that at last it has been ac tually, though almost imperceptibly, commenced. At after first the experiment was tried in Ireland, and, some bickerings between the opponents and the sup porters of the enterprize, it was found to work toler ably to the satisfaction of the unprejudiced. Addi tional attempts have recently been made to impart yet greater advantages of a similar character to different Kingdom rent schools at present existing in that p art of the i culled Great Britain. The national schoolmaster having stepped across St. George's Channel for a time, has returned to the grander task, it would seem, in a re-invigorated. Verygreat recently series almost, one of m rangements have been novel a y a a r y adventured upon by the autho rities of the Educational Board, and under the par ticular sanction of her MAJESTY'S Government, through the anticipated efficacy of which numerous and considerable benefits may be extended to the poorer scholars of all denomin • ataons. Allusion is here made, of course, to the regulat ions affecting the „itit , MA Y AM A "144' x;ii LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1852. Mr. BRIGHT has taken full advantage of his Irish experience. Like many former travellers in that country, he has fencied that he could, during a tour of a few weeks' duration, make himself thoroughly acquainted with the various evils and abuses by which that unhappy land is afflicted, and solve the problem that had puzzled the natives, aye, and would-be legis lators, for centuries. The Honourable Gentleman is, however, resolved that he will not "hide his light." He has conceived a plan for the satisfactory settle ment of the Irish Church question, that fertile source of dimension and discord—the establishment of per fect "religious equality "—and the removal of all future disputes on the subject of " the loaves and fishes." This he has published in the form of a letter —to which we gave insertion in our impression of yesterday —which is to be laid before the Conference about to be held on the subject of " the existing ec clesiastical arrangements of the country," and for it he apparently hopes to have the concurrence of all parties engaged in the contest. His scheme has at least the merit of simplicity. He sets out by assuming that the most perfect" equality " before the law for the different religious sects that exist in Ireland —which singularly enough he limits to the Protestant Episcopalian —the Presbyterians and the Roman Catholic Churches —is indispensable. It is not enough that there should be universal toleration—that every man should be allowed to worship his Creator in the manner which in his soul and conscience he believes to be most acceptable to the Deity; and that without incurring any disability or disqualifica tion on account of his opinions. No, that would be rejected with scorn, unless every honour or emolu ent accorded to the one were participated in by the ,then, and the rival Churches were made like the ,wo Kings of Brentford, " a lling at the one nose gay." How then i s this des ide ratum m c to be attained ? Is it by elevating the R om torians to the same positionanas Catholics and Presby ,_,het e Episcopalians,—by allowing the "Protestant' t r o d is Mr. BRIGHT'S continua to be a -- , 4 to remain as it is, or, at least, State Church, building up at its side Catholic Es cPresby- tablisbment ; and to complete the scheme, a feria' Establishment also, having a batch of Prelates and Presbytererian Divines in Lord JOHN Lords ?" No' --this sc heme of equalit y, seems to think would meet the views of Lord which" he RUSSELL and Earl GREY—he declares would, in his opinion, be, and must necessarily be, altogether im practicable, — a m atter on which we pect there will be the most compl e te unanimity throughout the length and breadth of the land. It requires no subtle reasoning or prolened argument to prove the absur dity ( Shaving "two Established Churches in Irelend —the one Protestant, and the other Catholic ;" or of Having in the House of Lords " P r otestant and Ca tholic Bishops elbowing each other on the right reverend bench, guarding the temporal and spiritual interests of two Churches which denounce each other Bs idolatrous or heretical." That point may, there fore, safely be dismissed without farther discussion. But if it be impossible to elevate the Roman Ca tholige Rd Presbyterians, it is c o mparatively easy to THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1862. supply of elementary works, which will henceforth be furnished to eleemosynary places of tuition at some thing less than the trade price, upon this one simple condition, the, the charitable efforts in each particular locality shall respond in earnest to the generous pro position of the Government. We are anxious that this may be clearly understood. It is but right, in deed, that it should be thoroughly comprehended. Without pretending to be punctiliously exact in the i proportions, we may contrive, in one or two words, . . to afford the public a simple and familiar illustration. Everybody, of course, knows well enough that in- struction necessitates books, and that books necessitate a rather formidable item of expenditure in every large establishment. Anxious to obviate as much as pos sible the difficulties presenting themselves in this manner as obstructions to the spread of enlighten- ment, the Ministry have determined to supply a por tion of the funds required in the purchase of works of an educational character, and, beyond this, to furnish the works themselves at a rate so extraordinarily mo- derate, that it could alone be secured by the interpo sition of Government. Supposing, for example, that the guardians of some particular charity school are desirous of procuring volumes, the trade cost of which would be little less than 2001, in the aggregate, these volumes will be placed within their reach fur say 901., with this additional assurance, that 301. of the 90/. will be advanced out of ,he National Exchequer, if the reme'_ning 601 be only subscribed by the benevolence of the locvi congregation. Assuredly we may be allowed to eulo gise this as a most humane and generous provision; a provision which reflects the highest credit upon the Cabinet ; one, moreover, which we doubt not, must be responded to by the faithful of all denominations throughout the country with alacrity, and even en thusiasm ; a provision which augurs admirably for the still more rapid advance of the great educational movement, while it animates our confidence in the sublime hope of the moral as well as the physicvl development of civilization. Subsidiary efforts are, meanwhile, being strenu ously attempted in a variety of quarters—efforts which must inevitably prove beneficial to a nearly miraculous extent, if only enforced by perseverance In spite of the detestable taxes upon knowledge, cheap literature is no longer exclusively pernicious. Periodicals issued at the weekly cost of twopence, or of a penny, or even in one recent, and we may add, respectable instance, a halfpenny—supply the very poorest classes of the community with wholesome information, insinuated sometimes under the alluring guise of mere amusement. CIIAELES KNIGHT began the good work years ago, in his Penny Magazine, and that good work is nowadays thriving marvel lously well in a thousand directions, though in none so appreciably as in the household Words, scattered among the hearths of the population by the hand of CHARLES DICKENS. The printing press, in short, is doing silently for the cause of education what has been left undone by the Cabinet, and noisily talked of by the Legislature. Meanwhile, this unsystematic and almost unconscious, but at the same time most effectual, and most beneficent development of the intellectual capabilities of our generation is being aided—nobly and assiduously aided by some of the most distinguished men of the age, by some of the more eminent students of statesmanship,and some of the most shining lights of our national literature. Scarcely any intelligent observer can have forgotten the grace ful tributes paid in this manner, not so very long ago, to the popular aptitude to receive instruction, by the liberal-minded and gentle-hearted Earl of CARLISLE —upon those occasions, we mean, when he presented himself in the capacity of a lecturer, before the indus trious mechanics of Yorkshire. Elsewhere, in our impression of this evening, will be found a somewhat remarkable instance, that the same intellectual appetancy of the multitude has not appealed in vain for sympathy to the large heart and comprehensive genius of the most accomplished man of letters of the reign of VICTORIA. It is well, too, we think, that the public should conn with especial attention at this juncture, the elevating and humanizing principles in culcated in Sir EDWARD BHLWER LYTTON'S oration upon Knowledge. Delivered within the walls of the OLD SHIRE HALL at Hertford, that oration has already resounded as far as the metropolis, and will be re-echoed, we doubt not, very generally through the rest of the United Kingdom. It comes to the people as a timely warning against the dangers that should be avoided in their ever-active and indefatigable search after information. It reminds the reflective, moreover, of the precise value and importance of what ;s designated knowledge, and in doing so illestrates, by the happiest and drollest metaphor imaginable, the absurdity of allowing either Knowledge or Liberty to become the curse instead of the blessing of hu manity, the ruin instead of the palladium of our insti tutions. What could be more delightfully unanswer able upon this point than the observation ?—" Know ledge and Liberty are designed to be the safeguards and the directors of our social system. (Hear, hear.) You approve that definition ? Pardon, then, a very homely illustration. We do not fear the watch-dog while he guards the fold and directs the flock; but we look at him with very great suspicion when we meet him foaming at the mouth, and rattled out of his wits by the noise of a tin canister tied to his tail. (Cheers and laughter.)" There is, alas ! but too much truth in the exquisite wit of the next allusion, when the orator continued—" Look, for instance, at France : for the last eighty years they have made such a slat• ter about all the grand results to be expected from liberty and enlightenment, that enlightenment and lfterty have been frightened away by the din— (cheers)—and men in that country seem more disposed to get rid of the watch-dogs altogether, than to run the risk of having them driven into madness by the hollow clang of that everlastiny canister." Magnifi cent, indeed, and encouraging is the contrast glaring upon the general recognition from that subsequent reference made by Sir BULWER LYTTON to the posi tion of things in this country, when towards the close of his remarkable oration he alluded to the legacies bequeathed to Englishmen by their glorious fore fathers—those legacies, he exclaimed, which have been " a literature more splendid than that of Greece, au empire more colossal than that of Rome, and a political constitution which still towers aloft in majestic symmetry, because the depth of its foundation has allowed for additions to its structure"—a sublime and truthful image, which celled forth, as it deserved, the loudest acclamations. Addresses of this thoughtful and elevated charecler cannot but influence most benignly that intellectual development which is, of all, the peculiar characteristic of the present generation. Grateful are we then, grateful must be every intelli gent and humane observer, on recognizing the efforts thus made by Genius to smooth the difficult pathway of Education to the People —to strew it with the blooming apophthegms of philosophy —to glorify it with the divine light of experience —and, by so doing, to render the advance of Civilization subservient, in the most effectual manner, to the diffusion of Chris tianity. If Catholics wish to gain political rezp.sct and in fluence, they must be consistent and generous. When they first started their Religious Equality movement a few weeks ago, we admonished them that a mere selfish Irish Catholic agitation wo u ld never do. Englishmen can understand the politicians who would, in any,new move, endow all sects equally, or those who, like Mr. Jour' BRIGHT, and the more consistent Dissenters, object to all State endowments of religion, but they do not understand men whose only object, while clamouring for equality, is to enrich their own sect, under the fiction of restoring property to its original uses. Englishmen understand also the men who carry out their principles most fully where they have most power to do so; but not those who, with all the legislation and Government of a country in their hands, falsify every principle which they avow when they are a minority. ; We warned our Catholic friends, in particular, that unless they in terfered actively on behalf of THE MADIAIS, then just sentenced to a barbarous imprisonment at Florence, their noise about religious equality would be esteemed as mere cant. We reminded them that every Eng liQh Protestant, of whatever sect., must feel, when two worthy individuals were sentenced to a felon's punishment simply for reading the Bible and be coming Protestants, that it was not only cruel p e rsecution, b ut a g ross insult upon his own faith. The Prussian Char g e d'Affaires did so feel it, and Demonstrated. And if the Catholics feel ho d ee ply the prohibition to assume territorial titles in England, what would they feel if conversion to Popery were punished es felony ? Well, thoy now see that were not far from the ma►k. A little time since a noble foreigner comes, most honourably de puted from Geneva, to solicit English intervention with the GRAND DUKE thrcugh the Prote,,Lant Alli- ance—a body with whose prinn proceedings we have neither felt nor shown any sympathy. He bore, however, a letter of the mast reasonable kind, ad dres‘ed to the Chairman of the _Alliance, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, which, at the request of the Noble Lord, appeared in all the leading morning journals. A deputation of highly - respectable noblemen and gentlemen was appointed to visit Tuscany, and intercede with the GRAND DUKE for the liberation of the prisoners. Amongst these, was Sir CULLING EARDLEY, who, probably expecting only to put him in the wrong, writes to Mr. LUCAS, M.P. for Meath, and Editor of the Tablet, to know from him, in writing, whether he might convey to the DUKE any expressions of indignation from Mr. Lucas, at his gross and barbarous violation, not merely of religious equa'ity, but of the humblest measure of toleration. Mr. Lucas had been amongst the loudest in raising 'he Religious Equality cry ; hence, as is universally confessed, Sir CULLING'S re quest was pre-eminently reasonable. Mr LUCAS had himself agreed that " the EA step tow - -ds attaining th e blessing of secure homes and safe altars, must be the desti action of everything in the shape of privilege, precedency, monopoly, or unfair advantage on the pert of the Established Church." How, then, does the pupil of the Jesuits wriggle himself out of his awkward position? Why, with about three columns of irrelevant scolding, and one argument ad rem—this to wit, that persecution is a question of majorities and minorities 1 If the Government be absolutely Catholic _if, as in Tuscany, it has in times past burnt and banished Protestants out of the land—then it is no persecution to punish those who become Protestants, and who would, like honest men, teach what they be li,!ve 1 If so, assuredly Catholic Emancipation was a blunder ; and earnest Protestants, taught by Mr. LUCAS, will exclude every Catholic from the slightest share in the government of the country. The Revs STOWELL and MACNEALE will know how to brandish Mr. Lucas's arguments at Exeter Hall. What Mr. Lucas lacks in argument, however, we are sorry to see, he can make up in a M'HALE style of abuse : to make men Protestants, is the work of "souping, swindling, mammon proselytism ;" it is " to meke men devils, or anything, if it were possible, that is worse, rather than allow them to save their souls in the pure way in which their fathers worshipped GOD," We fancy Mr. LUCAS has given the coup de grace to the religious equality movement. If he be its represents- tive, the hoax is too transparent. We dare say Mr. Lucas may be acquainted with another fact or two, of which, however, we take the liberty to remind him. An old tried and ardent ad vocate of Catholic Emancipation, a writer and speaker of high standing, whose avowed creed for Ireland was, disendow all sects,or endow all equally, was in the last Parliament member for Bradford. He had voted against the disendowment of Maynooth, by which he lost some hot anti-Catholic voters, but, unpardonable sin !—he had voted that the Pope of Rome should not have the liberty of forging titles out of English ter ritory. For this he could never be forgiven. Tuscan mercies only for such Protestants ! Well, an opponent to Col. THOMPSON was put forward, a nominee of the Orange Vicar, and the Orange Club; pledged against Maynooth to the backbone. No matter. The real advocate of equality for Catholics must be punished at all hazards. Accordingly, the priest and the Ca tholics, in obedience, it was credibly rumour ed, to a missive from Cardinal WISEMAN, watch the c ontest till near its close. The run is close, Col. Tuoursori is a-head ; but at the eleventh hour, down comes the priest with thirty-six voters, who had always voted on the liberal side before, and ejects by a majority of six their real friend, the liberal Col. Tuomrsosr, in favour of the Orange Club nominee. To gratify the meanest, most malevolent spite—spite worthy only of the beings amongst whom Mr. LUCAS classes unhappy Protestants, the father of Free Trade and one of the ablest Liberals in the House of Com mons, is ousted to make room for an intellectual and political !Nobody, (worthy iron-master though he be,) sod a pledged foe to their Catholic equality ! Only a year or two before, Sir CULLING EARD LET, when a candidate for the West Riding, was pro bably himself a victim to the same sectarian spite. He had been an active theclogice.l opponent of Popery. When, however, he appeared as a candidate, he consistently avowed firmly the same views on Re ligious Equality at the hustirg3 which he had always maintained on the platform; his theological warf—e wi, h Catholics had not dimmed his perception of their just claims as citizens. Yet it was thought that the Catholic voters who only abstained feorn polling, (for they had no Cardinal then to order them exclude e t, i t if' to vote for rn avowed enemy to their social rights,) were about sufficient to have given Sir CULLING V. m u a jo ri will place Catholics Orangemen in power, and will pursue this spiteful con. d .i their theyf political fri en d s , f rom pure vindictive ness; if they will, in addition, defend the most cruel Frs-cution where their religion il dominant, and refuse to show any British feeling of the rights of con-iience, let them not be surprised if they be dealt with according to their deeds, rather than according to their words. To9cany and Bradford will not soon be forgotten. We have emancipated the Catholics from renrities ' • let them emancipate themselves from the bitterness, bigotry, end sectarian selfishness of a bygone age ;—or it will be thought that those need another CROMWELL who understand not the blessing of living under Queen VICTORIA. FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—Seats will be er - eted around the parish church of St. Mtny-le- Strand, the proc"cds of which will be appropriated to the parochial charities, Her Majesty's ship-, of eve*, in going up or down Channel, continue to drop their colours half-mast high on psssing Dover Castle and the rime ceremony is viso ob served in parsing Weimer Castle. RETIREMENT OF MR. INSPECTOR FIELD, CHIEF OF THE DETECTIVE DEPARTMENT OF METROPOLITAN POLICE. —After long end arduous service of twenty-four years in the employmsat of the government, this meritorious officer re tires on the good servico pension. His urbanity of manners end conciliatory disposition endearsd him to all those con nected with him both in end out of office ; and he leaves the Set vice with the most valuable of ell advantages, a good name and irreproachable character. THE GLOBE INSURANCE COMPANY.—The half yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Globe Insurance Company, WP9 held yesterday at the °Mere in Carnhill, and the usual dividend at the rate of six per ce - at per annum, free of income• tax was declared. The chairman (Mr. Fresh field, M.P.), in the course of his address to the mating, gave a favovrable account of the progress and present position of all the departments of the Company's business, and of the results which had attended the revised scheme of life insurance.

During the slims period which has elapsed since the organization of thie body, the knowledge of its objects and intentions has extended to a large con nexion of tradesmen end merchr its engasted i n extens i ve ways of lovsi. , e. - from all of whom the warmest expres sions of epprovel end ready re-operation have been received The supineness of the law office,o of the Mint in exerci sing that pesticular nett of the functions of a public pros , cutor :which is r evolved upon them, has at length produced the necessary mount of inconvenience in pubic affairs to occasion an effoii, by combination, to per form them; and in the vigorous operations of this associa tion will henceforth lie the great s:cut:ty which the public must look to from the systematic victimization of the titterers of base coin. At the present time, the machinery of the essociation is almost ready for immediate working, and con sidering the enormous ainovnt of fraud which is willingly submitted to, rather than incur the annoyances and cost of a prosecution, it is impossible to believe that the public will not largely avail themselves of the admirable aids which this association proposes to afford, by the exercise of which alone society can be delivered from one of its most virulent plagues. The chair wrs taken by Mr. William Kirk, the chairman cf the easociatior, Two directors were added to the list, and arrangements settled for immediate business. Mr. Brad don the solicitor to the association, announced that he had that day submitted the rules and regulations to Mr. Wm. l'ayne, the counsel of the association, and that that gentleman had approved them.
