Lord CAMPBELL laid on the table a bill to prevent any unauthorised negotiation or intercourse touching public affairs, between the subjects of her Majesty and any foreign potentate or state. The noble and learned lord explained that the object of the bill was to enforce the law of nations, which clearly provided that inter course between independent nations, respecting public affairs, should only be conducted through the Govern ment or an ambassador, or minister duly authorised for that purpose, and who was responsible for his ad vice. (Hear, bear.) He stated that he would on the present occasion move the first reading, and defer the second reading until after the Easter holidays, when he should enter into the reasons which justified the in troduction of such a measure, which he believed was necessary for the safety of the country - . The bill was then read a first time. OATHS. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Lei cester, signed by upwards of 1,000 persons, against com pulsory oaths. - DAY OF HUMILIATION. .

Mr. FERGUSON presented a petition from the National Providential Fire Insurance Company praying for the re duction of the duty on fire insurance. Sir W. HEA.THCOTE presented a petition from the president of St. John's College, Oxford, complaining of certain clauses in the University Reform Bill. Mr. T.

On the motion of Mr. FITZGERALD, the following return was ordered :—Return of the number of stamps at ld. each issued to each newspaper published in the cities of London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, respectively, for each quarter, in the years 1851, 1852, and 1853, and in the first quarter of tho year 1851, specifying the name of each newspaper, with the number o f s t amps i ssue d to each in each quarter.: STATUTE LAW COMMISSION. Mr. BOWYhR wished to ask Lord J. Russell whether the Statute Law Consolidation Commission is to cease ; and, if so, whether the consolidation of the statues is to be given up, or any other and what measures are to be taken to effect the p ur p ose f or w hi c h th e commission was ap- , pointed. Lord J. RUSSELL said this was a temporary commis sion, and the commissions had terminated. The result of the labou rs o f the commissioners had b een placed in the hands of the Lord Chancellor, but it was not improbable that a second commission would be appointed. AUSTRIA AND TURKEY, Lord D. STUART asked the noble lord the member for London whether the Austrian Government is not concen trating a large army on the frontier of Servia ; and whether any explanations have been obtained from the Government as to the object o f th at proceed i ng, or gene rally as to the intentions of Austria in regard to Turkey. Lord J. RUSSELL said the statement of the noble lord was quite true, and Austria had stated with regard to Turkey ; but as a correspondence was still going ' on with regard to the subject, it would not be right for him to dis close now what those intentions were. LIMITED LIABILITY. In reply to Mr. HINDLE; Mr. CARDWELL said the commissioners appointed to enquire into the subject of limited liability had not yet made a report, and he therefore could not state what course Government proposed to take in the matter. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Sir W. HEATHOOTE wished to explain the v o t e w hi c h he intend e d t o g i ve in favour o f this bill. It would be absurd in him if he were to shut his eyes to the necessity which was generally felt for a bill of this nature, it h a d been framed in no unfriendly spirit, and since he did not dispute the s oun d ness of its principle he should reserve for the committee on the bill such changes and amend ments as he was anxious to see made in its provisions. It was quite clear from what he had said he must vote for the second reading ; all the objections he had urged should be reserved for the committee. Mr. BYNG believed very few persons either in the house or country would deny that some alteration was re quired in the management of Oxford University. He believed the university could do no better than by cordially co-operating with her Majesty in effecting the reforms con templated by this bill. (Hear, hear.) While sincerely devoted to the ritual of the Established Church, he still felt a hope that reforms might be introduced into the university, and that some means might be adopted by which 5 ,000,000 of his fellow-crntrymen, he meant the Protestant Dissenters, might be admitted to th e h onours of the university. (Cheers.) With those feelings he cor dially hoped that this bill would speedily pass into a law. (Hear, bear.) Sir 4. PAKINGTON said he had, after mature con sideration, determined not to oppose the second reading of this bill, reserving to himself to propose such amendments as seemed to him desirable when the bill was in committee. If he gave even a Aualified assent to the second reading of this bill, it was in the hope that the Government would a ccept in a fair spirit the criticisms with which this bill wa s received by hon. members ou that (the Opposition) side of the house. He (lid not deny that he was aware there were many grounds for reform i n some of the halls of Oxford University; bat, at same time it was a subject that ought to be ap the by the Government in a spirit of conciliation. reached ( H ea r.) With respect to the members of the commis two, the Bishop of itiPen and Mr. Jus tice Coleridge, whom no . one could find fault with, sion, there were but he apprehended that neither an English bishop nor an English judge could spare the necessary ti me for a period of ssioWithout objecting years to" u a ttend to the labours of this com m i •n. objecting to any of the commissioners themselves, he main tained that the powers given them by this bill were most arbitrary and objectionable.

MARKET INT ELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of this clay.) IMPERIAL. PARLIAMENT amendment, to strike out all that part of the motion which referred to the report of the committee against Mr. Stonor, in order that the proposed inquiry might embrace the entire question of Mr. Stonor's conduct. After a protracted discussion, in which Mr. S. Wort ley, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Vernon, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. F. Peel took part, Mr. FITZGERALD withdrew his amendment. Mr. MOORE replied, and limited his charge to those who had the ear of the Duke of Newcastle, and who, while recommending Mr. Stonor's appointment, were aware of his antecedents, Mr. DRUMMOND sarcastically remarked upon the contradiction between Mr. Moore's first and second speech. After nearly four hours' discussion, the house divided, and the numbers were— For the committee Against it Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL then explained that he had, from ignorance of the arrangements of the house, voted against, instead of for, the committee, and he added some severe remarks upon the systematic rnnning down of public men on the part of certain Irish members, and the miserable shifting by which they sought to get rid of the responsibility of their conduct. The motion for the appointment of the committee was then agreed to. REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, &c., IN SCOT LAND.

EPSOM SPRING MEETING. EPSOM, Thursday Night.—The inauguration of the racing season at Epsom took place to-day under peculi arly auspicious circumstances. A glorious day welcomed the host of sporting visitors who poured forth to Epsom Downs by road and railway—tempted no less by the exceeding fineness of the weather than by the abundant programme of sport which the spirited promoters of the meeting, and their indefativtble clerk of the course, were enabled. to present to their friends and patrons. Large fields were brought out for both the City and Suburban Handicap and the Metropolitan Stakes. Over both Virago triumphed ; an achievement almost un paralleled for its importance. After winning the first, she immediately became the leading favourite for the second, altlmugli early in the morning her chance for the Metropolitan was estimated at 20 and 15 to 1 against her ! Her running for both was set down as extremely doubtful. Of the some-time favourites, Royalist and Jonathan Martin, only the latter maintained his position in the market with seeming steadiness —the former proved himself to be quite unworthy of the support he had received. So great was the pressure of business, and so large the fields that it was impossible to be punctual to the time at which the races were set. Mr. Manning, the clerk of the scales ; Mr. Hibburd, the starter ; and Mr. Clark, the judge fulfilled their duties with their usual ability. The events were decided as follows :- EPSOM TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs. each, with 50 added ; three-yr-olds, Est 121 h ; four, Bst 71h ; five, 9st ; six and aged. 9st llb ; mares allowed 51b and geldings 31b.

The Earl of EGLINTON presented a numerously signed petition from the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights ; and , moved that a humble address be presented to her Majesty, pray ing for the appointment of a, Secretary of State for Scotland ; that an additional number of members of Parliament be allotted to that country ; and that the ancient palace of Holyrood might be restored. The noble earl commenced by eulogising the moderation of the prayer in this petition denying that there was the slightest idea of advocating a dissolution of the Union, or of asserting any heraldic grievance. At the same time he asserted that the spirit and letter of the Act of Union had been infringed in several important re spects. He contended further, that Scotland hart not been treated upon a footing of equality with England in respect to the expenditure of public money. While 1,500,0001. had been spent upon parks and palaces in England in less than fifteen years, only 16,0001. had been spent in Scotland; 2,000,0001. had been spent on harbours of refuge in England, but not a single sixpence in Scotland ; and nearly 2,000,0001. on the Ordnance survey for Ergland, but only 65,0001. on that of Scotland ; whilst the scale upon which it should be made had not yet been settled. Referring to the first prayer of the petition, he urged a num ber of considerations to show that the Lord-Advo cate could not, from the nature of his engagements, properly attend to Scottish business, and that it was absolutely necessary to appoint a Secretary of State. On the second point, he contended that Scotland had a right to a considerable increase in the number of its representatives, whether tested by population or taxation. According to population, she ought to have 72 members ; according to taxation, 79 ; and according to the two combined, 75 members. Lastl I, he con tended that considerations of justice ought to dictate the duty of keeping up the ancient palace of Holyrood, which at present was not in a condition fit to receive the descendant of the Scottish monarchs. In conclu sion, he entreated their lordships to respect the national feelings of Scotland on these subjects. The Earl of ABERDEEN, in reply, said a great deal had been heard in the course of last year on the subject of Scottish grievances, but it appeared now that they were reduced to the modest number of three. None of these three were, in his Opinion, entitled to the character of national grievances ; and he was further of opinion that the English people believed that the Scottish people had the full advantage of the constitution. Great im provement had taken place in the feelings with which the people of England fdrmerly regarded Scotchmen. They now regarded them with with more kindness, affection, and good will than they, were accustomed to do some years ago. He was in his own person an instance of this change of opinion. • His Scotch predecessor, in the office he had the honour to hold, committed no other crime, in the popular view, than that of being a Scotch man ; but he, though he had met with every species of abuse and outrage from the organs of the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Derby), had not yet been accused of being a Scotchinan. Adverting to the three prayers contained in the petition, he admitted with respect to the first that the duties of the Lord Advocate were in some degree anomalous, but he contended that there was not the slightest necessity for the appointment of a Secretary of State, and that no practical advantage would result from it. As to the second, the House of Commons was already sufficiently numerous, and Scotland could receive no accession of members, except they were taken from English constituencies, which he hardly thought could be , seriously pro posed. Besides, the relative position of England and Scotland in this respect was pretty much the same as it stood at the time of the Union. With regard to the third—the restoration of Holyrood—this could scarcely be an object to be brought under Parliamentary consideration as a national grievance. The palace was not adapted for the Sovereign's residence, though the Queen occasionally passed a day or two there. He should, however, be glad to see the chapel restored. Altogether, he repeated, that the subjects brought under their lordships' notice could not be considered in the light of national grievances ; and, having this conviction, he could not assent to the motion. The Duke of MONTROSE vindicated the petition, particularly on the ground of the anomalous duties of the Lord-Advocate. ' The Duke of ARGYLL contended that every change made since the Act of Union had been attended with benefit to Scotland, and that the grievances comi lained of were imaginary. He observed that by the terms pro posed in the Address, which asked for a number of mem bers for Scotland in proportion to its great increase in social, commercial, and national prosperity, Scotland would have 150 members. It was impossible that such a number could be obtained without an amount of dis franchisement of English boroughs, such as no person would venture seriously to propose. Lord PANMURE expressed his satisfaction that the subject of heraldic grievances had not been put forward. But there were some points which certainly deserved the attention of Government. One was the endowment of chairs in the universities ; and another had reference to the diplomas of medical men, which ought to have the same effect in the two countries. On the whole, Scotsmen had nothing to complain of, considering the benefits they were deriving from the union with England. Lord CAMPBELL said Scotland had no grievances which required a national agitation ; and that in every point in which the Act of Union bad been departed from, the change had been attended with benefit to Scot land. At the same time, the 'duties of the Lord Advo cate were somewhat anomalous ; but there was no neces sity for a Secretary of State. The Earl of EGLINTON then replied, and the mo tion was withdrawn. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) THE CASE OF MR. STONOR. Mr. MOORE moved that a select committee be ap pointed to take into consideration the case of the ap pointment of Henry Stoner to the office of a judge in the colony of Victoria, the said Henry Stonor having been reported by a committee of this house to have been guilty of bribery at the election for the borough of Sligo in 1853. (Hear, hear.) The honourable member read extracts from the evidence before the select committee on the Sligo election, imputing if not bribery to Mr. Stonor, at least an indiscretion the most extraordinary. He said it bad been proved by Mr. Stonor's own evidence that he offered a large sum of money (1,5001.) to induce the withdrawal of a petition against the return for Sligo, and that afterwards he did actually give that sum for the purpose specified. He was sure that he would be confirmed by the house, in the opinion that to send such a man clothed with the British ermine to preside on the bench in the colonies was an outrage on public opinion and the good feeling of the country. He (Mr. Moore) had asked two questions of the Government, first, whether they were aware that Mr. - Stonor had been reported against for bribery by a committee of this house ? and, secondly, whether they were prepared to rescind the appointment. But their answer was in effect this— that before such appointments, "ignbr,ance was bliss," and, when such appointments were once ma d e , it was `•folly to be wise. , ' (Laughter.) It was utterly im mpossible that the Government could have (as was al leged) appointed Mr. Stonor as a judge on his own written application—(hear, hear, hear)--his sus picionsmight be unjust, but the statement of the Government on this point was impossible ; and he main tained that the appointment was such as would disgrace the appointment of a counting-house clerk or a parish beadle. On those grounds he now moved for the appointment of the select committee of which he had given notice. (Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, after a severe rebuke to Mr. Moore for the inflammatory mat ter, inconsistent argument, and affected sympathy of his speech, said that the party really before the house was the Colonial Secretary, who was most anxious that the committee should be appointed. He admitted that, if Mr. Moore could make out his case, he would convict a great public offender ; but if not, such a charge would recoil upon himself. As yet, he had not' adduced a shadow of proof. Condemning the extraordinary license Mr. Moore had taken, and describing his conduct as unbecoming and improper, Mr. Gladstone, refusing to notice Mr. Moore's extraneous details, begged, on the part of the Duke of Newcastle, to meet the unsupported allegations of Mr. Moore with the unqualified denial of an English gentleman, .whose word had never been ques tioned. The appointment of Mr. Stonor had been made by the duke in entire ignorance of the connection of the former with Sligo, nor had it been made at the desire of Mr. Sadleir. He therefore asked for the committee, and, that it might be of a judicial and not a political character, he begged that it might be nominated by the general committee of elections. Mr. DRUMMOND hoped that the house would re ject the motion and the request of Government. This was an attempt to bring into the body of the house the scenes of corruption displayed upstairs, and to engage the power of the house against a helpless individual. Remarking that the Irish were always abusing the Go vernment because Irishmen were not appointed to situa tions, and the moment one was appointed they began to vilify him, he characterised the conduct of the Colonial office as mean and shabby. Having made the appoint. ment, they should have stood by it. Mr. BOWYER condemned the malignant tone of Mr. Moore, who, he said, had damaged himself more than Mr. Stonor. Mr. HINDLEY examined evidence with a view to Mr. Stonor's vindication, and thought that the sooner the house got rid of the subject the better. Mr. H. HERBERT thought the appointment of Mr. Stonor objectionable ; but as th it had been rescinded, he did not see, after such an admission, what more the house had to do with it. The only other question was, whether the Duke of Newcastle had spoken the truth, of which the duke's unblemished character permitted no doubt, and he thought the proposed inquiry very un seemly. Mr. JOHN FITZGERALD was in favour of the in quiry from motives of sympathy for Mr. Stonor, to whom, he thought, some opportunity would be afforded of regaining his position. He regretted the course Go vernment had taken in rescinding the appointment, and while supporting the motion, he described Mr. Moore's speech as damaging to himself and degrading to the house. At some length, and in terms of severe reprt !nand to Mr. Moore, he addressed himself to the refu tation of the - oroaker's - claargEs. Be Dloyed, Mr. ISAAC BUTT moved a resolution to the effect that the Colonial Lands Emigration Commissioners should have a depot at one of the Irish ports for emigra tion to Australia. Mr. F. PEEL assented, and after some discussion the resolution was agreed to. THE REGULATION OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC. Mr. CARDWELL moved for leave to bring in a bill for better regulations of the traffic upon railways and canals. In illustration of the magnitude of the railway interest, he adduced statistics, and men tioned that there had been 232 railway companies, that the number of miles of rail authorized to be opened was 12,700, of which 7,686 had been opened, that 356 millions of capital was represented by the railways, and that 264 millions had actually been raised. There was no need to dwell upon the social advantages which had been giined by railway system, and he admitted the ability.witb which it had been ad-. ministered, and disclaimed any idea of a bill of indict ment against the railway companies. But so many se parate managements required the attention of the house. He then stated the results of the investigation of the committees on the subject, and the difficulty of dealing with it, and he gave instances of the obstacles thrown ni the way of travelling and of commerce by the present incongruous arrangements. A somewhat similar system operated in regard to canals. The opinion of the com mittee was, that Parliament should break down the barriers between one railway kingdom and another, and thus provide for continuous travelling and transit. He then explained that the bill he proposed to introduce, in the first place, contained a distinct statutory enactment as to the duty of railway companies. Next, it gave to railway companies powers which they did not already possess for entering into combinations and agreements with each other to bring the system of railways into har mony. It provided for arbitrations between companies, under the direction of the Board of Trade. Where that which was laid down iu the bill was not carried into effect, an appeal was given to the superior courts, and thus the matter was brought under the jurisdiction of the regular tribunals of the land. This, he thought, was not an unreasonable thing to ask of these great in terests. His object was, while protecting the public, not to forget the interest of those who had embarked their capital in such undertakings. There was no idea of altering, by enactment, the charges on railways as re gards the public, but an arbitration was to have liberty to consider special circumstances, where one railway was required by another to carry on the traffic ofhfie latter. He then entered into an argument to show that the in terests of the shareholders would be promoted, and not injured, by the proposed system of harmony. The grand object of the bill was to do away with alliances offensive and defensive, and to make the railways the Queen's highway. Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR did not rise to oppose the bill of the right hon. gentleman. On the contrary, he should feel great pleasure in assisting him to the best of his ability. He wished to remind the right hon. gen tleman, however, that in his (Mr. Macgregor's) evidence before the committee he had said that railway pro perty had been so disturbed, that the railway interest would regard with favour any plan which would place that property on a stable and satisfactory basis. One great source of evil was the expense to which railways were put before committees. With regard to the value of railway property at the present moment, taking the capital embarked in the 40 principal railways, the sum expended amounted to one hundred and twelve millions, and the value at the present day was less than seventy five millions, while across the Channel the value had been raised 50 per cent. He trusted that for the future the house would avoid hap-hazard legislation with regard to railways and would place that description of property on a sound and stable footing. Mr. WILKINSON supported the bill, and stated his belief that the greatest misfortune under which rail ways had had to labour, was, that they were taught to believe they had alnonopoly. Mr. LOCKE said that the declaration of the right hon. gentleman with regard to his intention to deal with existing tolls, had diminished much of the apprehension he had previously entertained with regard to legislatinc, on this subject. There were other questions b es id es the interchange of traffic to be dealt with, but the great de sideratum to be kept in view was uniformity of gauge. It was almost a satire upon legislation to be discussing such a question in the year 1854, atter all the discussion and litigation which had taken place on the subject ' • and he thought the right hon. gentleman would have done himself more credit if he bad attempted to settle that question first of all. It was a disgrace to us that this should be the only country which had not adopted uni formity of gauge. There ought also to be a definition of districts, which railways should not be allowed to over step. Mr. MA.LINS said the statement had been made to the general satisfaction of the house, and he congratu lated the right hon. gentleman for adopting the sugges tion from that side of the- house to bring in a general measure, and not to attempt to do that by particular clauses, which could only be accomplished in the way proposed by the right hon. gentleman. With regard to the general question, he would say that be had been professionally engaged with the Solicitor-General in fighting the battle of the gauges, and his impression was, that by these contests railway companies were destroy ing each other, and that a great benefit would be con ferred on the public and the railway interest by putting an end to these unseemly contests. It must hare very much surprised the house to hear that the 112 millions spent on 40 of the leading lines were not worth more in the market than 75 millions. The fault was not in the paucity of the traffic, for the traffic was abundant beyond expectation, but in the defect of the system. And he feared Government was answerable for much of the mischief that existed. He could point to the con dect of the London and North-Western Railway with the Shrewsbury lines, where that company runs trains at losing fares in order to impede the traffic of the other company. These things ought to be put an end to, and Government ought to take effectual steps to protect railway companies from themselves, and the mode of carrying on competition with each other. ' Mr. HUDSON said, in reference to the committee of 1844, had the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was chairman, been able to give the railways security against competition, they woul have been able to enter into a compact with him. But as the right hon. gentleman could not give railways secu rity against competition .satisfactory arrangements could not be entered into at the time. With regard to the spread of the railway system, he would just ask that, at a time when there was a premium of 30,000,000 on the subscribed capital who could say that particular districts would not have a railway? This led to competing lines and to unprofitable branches which had sapped the profits of the trunk lines. It was impossible for Parliament to say, then, that a particular district should not have railways ; and as capitalists were ready to come for ward, the lines were freely, and in some cases unwisely. granted. With respect to. foreign railways, they had been constructed mainly with English capital, and they also had the advantage of government guarantee with out the disadvantage of unlimited competition, which might be considered the basis of the English system. With reference to the gauge, no one who had travelled upon an Irish railway, which was constructed on the in termediate guage, could doubt but that guage was the best guage to adopt ; but it was too late now to apply the intermediate guage to the English railway system, for the expense would be too enormous, and the diffi culties to overcome too serious for the present depressed period of the railway interest. Railway undertakings were in their nature of a speculative character, and it was impossible in ma n y cases t o guar d shareholders against loss. But the enormous parliamentary expenses was one great grievance of the system, and till they were moderated no effectual good could be attained. He be lieved that few railway bills bad passed without having produced benefit to the public. Mr. B. DENISON believed that the right hon. gentle man's bill, if put into shape, would very much benefit railway property, and induce the public to have greater confidence in railways as an investment for money. He believed, also, that the provisions of the bill would do much good to the railway interest. No doubt it was intended in granting competing railways that the public should have a clear and an unobstructed run from end to end, no matter how many companies owned the lines; and he was of opinion, if the bill was framed in a fair spirit, that the right hon. gentleman might rely on the co-operation of the railway companies. • Mr. WADDINGTON wished to know if a rival rail way proposed to reduce tolls the other company must also reduce ? If so the bill would be an abortion. Mr. CARDWELL did not think the bill would be an abortion, because care would be taken that the public were not charged one toll by one company and another toll by another railway c ompany. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. The Conventual Establishments Bill was postpor is d I till Thursday, the 27th inst. Th hoarse sajoursid st half-Ast ficlinit.

At this point Virago and Adine, who ha 1 been lying off, began to improve their positions. At the Stand Virago. succeeded in gettin,4 alongside Marc Antony, and the contest became extremely interesting. After a few strides further, however, Virago put the question of victory effectually at rest ; galloping on in admirable style with the lead she had obtdned, she won very easily by three lengths. Brocket and Merry Monk ran a dead heat fur third place: Adine and Mis hap were the next two. TiO-YEAR-OLD STAKES of 10 cove. each, with 50 added ; colts, .84t 71h ; fillies, 84 41b.

Owing to the impatience of several of the lot to get away, two or three disappoint ments were occasioned ; at last off they set, but in a widely scattered form ; Exact, and two or three others, lost a good deal of ground. Gossip immediately rushed to the front and took a decided lead, Vingt-un, Shaks peare, Jonathan Martin, Annie Sutherland, and Haco, holding positions close to each other in advance of the ruck, Muscovite and Virago lying off. G os sip main tained a strong lead until he entered the Derby Course, when he dropped back and soon joined the stragglers in the rear. Jonathan Martin, Shakspeare, and Haco were then left in front, and in a few strides further Haco took up the running, Jonathan Martin and Shaks peare still holding on in close attendance, Vingt-pan and Royalist being the next two, Muscovite sixth, and Virago seventh. By the time they arrived at the road near the bend, Royalist;-Vingt-un, and Shakspeare were quite beaten off. Haco and Jonathan Martin in gallant contest were now hotly pursued by Muscovite and Virago, who took close orders to the half distance, and in the next moment singled themselves out. At the corner of the stand Virago's chance 'again amounted to a certainty ; again she triumphed, galloping on and winning easily by a length, a length and a half between second and third ; Haco and Annie Sutherland were the next two.

Last evening a meeting of the shareholders and sup porters of the Metropolitan and General Freehold Land Society was lied at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of balloting for forty rights to choose land on the attractive estates at present held by the society. Twenty of the rights were to be taken from the rotation list, unit twenty from the ballot division. The chair was taken, on the motion of Mr. Richmond, seconded by Mr. Hind, by James Miller, Esq., of Leyton stone. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that it was a mistaken kindness on the past of those gentlemen who ha 1 called on him to -preside at this meeting, as be was labouring under indisposition so severe as to entirely dis, enable him to officiate in the manner as he would desire, and as the event deinanded ; and it was only the earnest interest he felt, in coin.uon with the many present, in all that concerned the interests of the Metropolitan Freehold Lank' Society, that hid induced him to attend that even ing. He would ask of them, then, indulgence from making further remarks; but there were a few matters of business detail which hd would ask his friend; Mr. Hind, to explain to th 3 meeting. Mr. BRUCE HIND (well known as an ardent supporter of the cause), said hisfriend Dlr. Miller had given him a cha racter as one well versed in matters relating to the free 'noid movement to which he did not feel himself entitled. Still, in the fact of the Chairman's in , ;isposition, he would undertake to go into what little of business detr.il would I , e of interest to the shareholders present He was glad to see an attendance of the society's supporters, He always looked with anxiety for faces he had been used to recognise since first he had been connected with .the society. - He was glad to see that neither public excitement without their homes, nor hart times within them, pre vented their still appealing at the society's meetings as usual, to give, by their presence, that encouragement which was all they asked in recempense for their exertions. (Cheers.) There was a time when a full attendance at a meeting of a freehold land society was a matter to be ex pected and never doubted, but since then fresh institutions, professing the same objects, had been established, and so numereusly, that ne town, no parish, not even in the city of London, scarcely a street was without one. The ques tion of r• What is a freehold land society ';" used once to be asked, but now it was " Who is not a member?" The singularity was to find a member of one society only —not as was the case of six or seven. lie would not de tain them further than to say, as the only business com munication he should have to make (unless some member had inquiries to make, Which the committee were always happy to receive and respond to), that some tn.-glib,' had mentioned it as objectionable the society's apportioning an equal number of the right to choose to the Rotation list as to the Ballot Section. The committee bad given the matter their serious consideration, but bad been so convinced that the division of interest consequent on the existence of the two systems, was so generally unsatisfactory to the mem , hers as a body, that it would be better to t ontinue the present system by which the rotation list was being reduced, that by a postponement of the proceedings to prolong the cause of annoyance. He thanked them for the polite attention they had given him, and earnestly re fretted the plea Sure of addressing them bail not fallen into other hands. As far as an earnest desire for the progression and success of the 3 4 2 teopo:ittin Freehold Land Society, and of the cause generally, went ; and as far as his humble exertions could assist that advance, he was ever happy to render them, and he trusted many future opportunities of doing so under auspices as brilliant and encouraging as those of the present would frequently occur. (Cheers.) Scrutineers having been appointed, the ballot wheel was placed in their charge, and the following numbers were drawn :-2,411, 1,042. 2,783, 1,159, 2,742, 3,505, 2,730, 1,134, 2,547, I,lilB, :',937. 2.454, 3,352, 3,455, 2,440, 3,572, 999, 1,232, 1,043, 1,162, 998, 2,202, 1,231, 1,161, 3,261, 1,163, 1,044, 1,015, 1, 4 222, 1,160, 2,612, 1,220, 1,21.', 3, .60, 3,043, 3,420, 1,''34, 2,769, 1,233, 1235. The CIIAIRM AN then rose and said the committee would now feel great pleasure in answering questions, if any gen tleman had any to put. None having been asked, Mr. HIND said, as none of the gentleman present felt disposed to ask any questions he took it for granted that their proceedings were conducted in such a manner as to give universal satisfaction. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in moving a cordial vote of thanks to the Chair man. The motion having been seconded, was put to the meet ing. and carried unanimou The Cu bIBMAN briefly acknowledged the compliment. Thanks baying been voted to the scrutineers, the prO ceeilingi terminated, after an intimation had bee.; given, that the purch•ise of the Reading estate had been completed, and that it would soon be ready fur allotment.
