Since Parliament had decided against the retention of Smithfield-market, the corporation had desired to carry out the new market at Copenhagen-fields in the most com prehensive and effective manner ; and they had accord ingly purchased the largest portion of land. which they could obtain for the purpose, in conapliance with the ex presserwish of Mr. Walpole, Lord Palmerston, and. every other member of the Government with whom they had had to deaLon.the 431104 of -themarkete The Corporation hid bought 78 acres of laud altogether, and there would be 15 acres allotted for the accommodation of bullocks and sheep. The present accommodation for cattle at Smithfield was 6.1 acres. Mr. (1 Lewis—lt is impossible, with justice, to say that the corporation has not done enough in respect to the ac commodation to he provided. in the new market. The only question is, whether the corporation has not done more than is necessary whether, in fixing upon the amount of space, it has not done more than has satisfied. the justice of the case ? Any charge that the corporation has not done enough would be most unjust. Mr. Taylor was very glad to hear Mr. Lewis make that statement. There had been a scheme proposed for bring ing the cattle by railway from Blackwell to the new mar ket, and also for connecting 'the Great Northern Railway w ith the new market. The corporation had been asked to dispose of a part of their land for this railway, but they had refused to part with any portion of it, 'believing .that outside of the market there would be sufficient room for stations for all purposes connected with the market. The Chairman : What amount of revenue do you expect to derive annually from your property in the new market? Mr. Taylor : About 3.4,050/., or a return of 4 per cent. on the outlay of 350,000/. The corporation also proposed to make a new dead-meat market on a part of the site of Smithfield, the present Newgate-market being very insuffi cient and confined in its amount of space. This new dead meat market would occupy about three acres, and. would be situated. near Long-lane ; but that point had not yet been finally decided. Mr. C. Lewis : Farringdon Market wo hear is little used, could it not be made available for a new meat market ? Mr. 'Taylor Farringdon-market is very awkwardly situated, -being upon an acclivity, and it is not considered by a nyone acquainted with the City markets that it can be made available as a dead meat market. Mr. C. Lewis : I believe Parringdon-market is spacious and. airy, and would it not be better to alter it so as to adapt it to necessities of the trade, instead of going to the e xpense of making an entirelz new dead meat market ? Mr. Taylor : We think that Smithfield would - be more central and more likely to succeed as a market. The wit ness then said he wished. to contradict another statement made by Mr. Bennoch. Mr. Ilennoch stated that money had. been spent by the corporation in giving dinners to members of Parliament, to whom gratitude was due for sup ported the views of th e corpora ti o n in regard to eld ma rket. Nov, the on l y dinner that had been Navin; supported given was the dinner at Bellanly,,, which was given to the sheriffs on the occa sion of thei r preienting a petition against the Government measure; and. flie whole expense was 14/. 17s. Mr. C. Lewis—That statement of Mr. Bennoch's has been contracted•before. Do you think that the corporation in their opposition to the Government were influenced by any portion of their constituents who weto interested in the retention of. Smithfield-market ? Mr. Taylor —Certainly' not. There were no doubt per sons carrying on business near the market whose interests wer e more or less mixed up with its retention, and of course the corporation had the co - operation of these parties in their opposition to the Governm en t. Mr. C. Lewis—But do you think that these parties in fluenced the decision of the committee in opposing the Government? Mr. Taylor—Not in the least. There was a majority of about 70 to 7 members of the corporation in favour of the City's plan. Witness then stated that he thought the cor poration was capable of considerable revision and improve ment, and he had always been in favour of an inquiry like the present taking place, from , which he believed much good. would result. In particular ho thought that advan tage would arise from a reduction being made in the num ber of the committees. Mr. Wm. Rushton examined—He was the paymaster and collector of the fellowship porters, and had held that office for 27 years. He had to collect the metage dues and alio to pay the fellowship porters, afterwards collecting the sums due to the men from their employers. It had been represented to the commission that he received a penny in every shilling earned by the porters, but that was not the fact. He did not received for himself more than one far thing in the shilling upon an a nnual sum of 227,000 1 . ; a large sum being required for office expenses. He denied that a larger ba lance than was necessary to enable him to pay the men their wages was entrusted to him by the fel lowship. alderman, and a Mr. D.W. Wire examined —He was an sheriff of the city of London, and a solicitor. He had paid office of sheriff in the city of Lon great attention t o the subject of the fine, imposed upon person s selected for th e o Lon don. He had. never known an instance since his connec tion with the co r p oration in which a person b 1 been se lected for the offic e of sheriff r the purpose of ex- acting the fine from him ; and at er l present no such practice me fo prevailed. The Lord Mayor did not now ex erc i se his pri vilege of nominating persons for the 8 office of sheriff. The election of sheriffs in common - hall was very objectionable, because, unless the friends of parties who did not wish to serve attended at the Guildhall, it was very likely that they might be elected against their will, and consequently would have to pay the fi ne. The Chairman—Can you suggest any improvement in the mode of electing the sheriffs Mr. Wire—l can, but Ido so with a great deal of diffi dence. If the constituency wersealtered that might induce a better attendance in Common Hall, and so prevent abuse; but failing that, I think that the election should be vested in the Common Council, who would always know the names of par ti e s who were willin g to serve. The ordinar y expenses of the office of sheriff are about 2,500 1 . a year ; but some sheriffs spend a beat deal more. The mode of appointing the under sheriffs in .the city of London is pre cisely the same as the mode in pll the other counties of England. The emoluments of tha under-sheriff when, I hold the office averaged about 1,0001. a-year. With regard to the case of Mr. Gray, who applied. to the corporationfor a portion of the estreats forfeit6cl in a prosecution insti gang of 'swindlers in the City, I toted by him against a for a contribution have to say that Mr. Gray.made two applications to the corPoration. The Ant apitcation was — The aldermen and commoners appeared in their robes, and a number of ladies graced the seats of the court and the galleries. At twelve o'clock, Mr. tayard, accompanied by Mr. Bennoch (the late member who moved the grant of the freedom), Alderman Wire, Mr. Blake, and other gen tlemen, entered amidst loud applause. Sir JOHN KEY, the chamberlain, then addressed Mr. Layard in the following words :—Having had the honour of admitting you to the freedom of this City, it now be comes my gratifying and at the same time somewhat diffi cult duty to address you in reference to the resolution which I have just read, and which was unanimously passed by this court. Distinguished, sir, as our body has ever been for its promptitude to render honour to whom honour is due, and anxious as it is to select for -the reception of its freedom those whom posterity will place in the foremost rank of our country's benefactors, it may well be ddubted Whether we have ever offered this mark of our respect and gratitude to-one whose labours can compare with yours for the vastness of their moral benefits, and the place they will hereafter hold in the estimation and remembrance of mankind. (Loud cheers.)' True, sir, we number amongst those who hare been pleased to accept these our' muni cipal • favours men whom our nation has revered as its highest ornaments, men who have upheld the glory of our arms, enriched lithe treasures of our literature, advanced our science, and extended the arts of life ; but it is no disparagement to these eminent men to say that the benefit of their services are limited, that they could reach no further than exalting our character as a nation, or the promotion of our happiness as members of a civil community ; whilst of the discoveries of which we are this day met to testify our grateful appreciation the chief characteristic is, that they look on man, not as he is a citizen; but as he is a Christian—not as he is intellectual only, but as he is immortal—not as he has possessions to gain, or tastes to cultivate or rights to defend, or liberty to achieve, but as he has a P God to serve and a soul to edu cate for the life to come. For, sir, that this was the feature on which the- attention of this court was chiefly fixed when designing to ask your acceptance of the present distinction, you would learn from the terms of the resolu tion in which these sentiments are conveyed. Thus aware of the importance of that axiom, that the pro per study of mankind is man, not lightly would this court regard any studies which should illustrate the early habits of the human race. Persuaded of the value of archmological science, as enlarging the boun daries of human thought, and throwing a light on. the yesterday of nations, however others might have neglected their duty, it was not likely that this court would under value those zealous exertions which have revealed to our astonished gaze the long-lost remains of Eastern antiquity. But, sir, that which, if I read aright the language of this resolution, impressed the mind of this court most deeply, was that you had placed within reach and sight of this Christian nation those memorials of ancient grandeur which had reduced to a demonstration the accuracy of sacred history, and fixed on a basis more enduring than those venerable relics themselves the faith of believers and the, scriptures of the living God. Mr. LAYARD rose amidst vehement applause, and said : My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen—lt would be difficult for me, more especially after the eloquent speech you have just heard from your Chamberlain, to find terms to express, in a manner which would in any way convey my true feelings, the gratification and pride I experience at the honour you have this day con ferred upon me. It could be with no ordinary sentiments that I found my name added to a lone list of names illustrious in the annals or.my country, and that I saw myself classed amon g st those , whom the city of Lon don has deeMed worthy , of enrolling amongst its citizens. I cannot but reflect that those who have been thus hon oured have for the most part been instamental in -bringing to a successful issue, or havc?'beon engaged in, the mightiest events which any age or country has witnessed, and that, without an exception, they have, by the untarnished honour and integrity of their lives, justified the confidence which the city of London placed in them. When I think of these things, how can I but feel how utterly un — vT6rthirl am to have my name added to the list? Nor can I but re member that whatever I may have done, or whatever my most ardent aspirations may lead me to hope I may here after do, will be insig nificant indeed, when compared with the works of the gre at men to whom I have alluded. I can not but admit that what I have accomplished might have been equally accomplished by any man who would have im-, proved such opportunities as lundonbtedly possessed, by or dinary perseverance, industry, and intelligence. That be ing the case, I must seek for some cause which may explain the honour I have received this day from you, and I am at no loss to find it in the desire which has been shown by this great corporation to encourage and promote such ob jects and pursuits as are in accordance with the spirit of the age, and to mark its approbation of any labours, how ever humble, which, as your Chamberlain has most justly observed; may tend to the establishment of truth, to the increase of reverence for our holy religion, and to the ge neral.dilffusion of knowledge. (Cheers.) In looking over the list of those who have enjoyed the distinguished honour you have extended to me, I cannot but per ceive that the city of London has always been animated by the same spirit. After a long list of names, ever glorious in cur annals—those of men who in the senate, and by sea and by • land, defended and maintained the honour of England for twenty years—we come to that of Jenner. (Cheers.) The city of London delighted to honour one who, whilst we were engaged in a terrible struggle which deluged Europe with blood, employed his great talents in investigating the means of alleviating hu man suffering, and of preserving and prolonging human life. Again, we have a long series of names if great men, called forth by an unexampled war—amongst them Nelson and Wellington. We then come to a happy time of peace, but still the city of London had to extend the hand of en couragement, and to mark its approbation of those who were engaged in struggles less b lood y , but no less impor tant, indeed no less vital to us than those which had pre ceded—l mean the struggles waged for the establishment and maintenance of our constitutional liberties, and in the gres,t cause of civil and religious liberty ; so that when the names of warriors cease in your list, we find those of Brougham, Denman Lushington, Peel, Russell, and Grey. (Cheers.) A time-o f almost complete quiet ensued, only interrupted by partial contests in the East, in which, however, the valour, the conduct, and the character of Englishmen were no, less eminently distinguished than in more widespread though scarcely less hard-fought wars, and which the city of London promptly rewarded in a Napier, a Sale, a Knott, and a Harding°. (Loud cheers.) The cause of Christianity, of civilisation, and of commerce once more appeared to prevail, and the city of London hastened to honour one who had suc cessfully contributed to their advancement in almost unknown regions, and amongst the most barbarous people. It conferred upon Sir James Brook the freedom of the City. (Great applause.) It might reasonably have been supposed that the blessings of peace were now secured to us for a period at least, and that no nation call ing itself Christian and civilised would entrap and disho nour the cause of Christiani t y and civilisation by plunging Europe into a war. The city of London, therefore, true to the spirit in which it had always acted, desired to encou rage those who were engaged in pursuits which might tend to illustrate the history of mankind, i to increase its civili sation, and to strenghten its belief n the great truths of holy writ, I have been the fortunate individual who has been selected as the object of this encouragement and ap probation. I should, indeed, be wanting in modesty were I to attribute the honour you have done me to any merit of my own, rather than to the desire of the corporation to mark their sense of the importance of the studies and researches in which I have been engaged, if directed to a good and useful object. With regard to my self it is highly probable that I shall never again see those spots which are !naturally so dear to me, as being connected with the labours which have earned for me the distinction which I have received from you. I may even be compelled to abandon those studies and researches which have been so -kindly alluded to by your chamberlain. I have embarked in public life, and only one endeavour and one hope must remain to me—that as a public man I may be of some use to my country. You, my Lord Mayor, and gentlemen of the cor poration, have to-day given me an encouragement to p er severe in an honest, independent, and conscientious dis charge of my duty in whatever station I may be placed, which I trust may some day render me more worthy to be a citizen of this great city, and to have my name enrolled amongst those who have as a most honourable distinction been admitted to its freedom. As your chamberlain, in his admirable, though, I fear, too partial address to me, has especially alluded to the objects and results of my la bours,roferenlc e t r to u s t t h y e o m u . will poti p b e t ferns Doubtless f m l e h t a o d ex cavations and researches with no other end than to et.. gratifying an idle curiosity, or an ordinary spirit of u e_ ave, a u y n undertaken r f t e al en v o t r lt l e s s prise, I should be utterly unworthy of the honour h w e ith motive.

But who could eve.rlylu found, which, as to the minuteness of their details and the wonderful accuracy of their statements, should confirm almost word for word the very text of Scripture. (Great cheering.) And remember that these were no fabrications of a later date in monuments centuries after the deeds which they professed to relate had taken. place, but re cords engraved by those who had actually taken part in them. Mr. Layard here stated that it would be ungenerous in him, in addressing the cnrporation of London upon the subject, to omit the mention Qr those eminent scholars who them there. (Cheers.) Mr. HIND said the pointed observations of their exci lent chairman had left him such a small field, that he was at a loss how to follow him. However, it was his pleasing duty to announce to the assembled shareholders that the committee had come to the resolution of giving the sum of 5/. Bs. 4d. as interest to shareholders not in arrear. (Cheers.) As an investment, the freehold land society far exceeds the savings bank ; they gave better security and double the interest. (Cheers.) The 5 per cent., that they now gave to the shareholders was not paid out of the principal, but it fiad been fairly and legitimately earned. (Loud cheers.) It was au easy thing to pay 10 per cent. if you took it from the principal, but they had a profit fnnd, and out of that fund they could with safety pay 5 per cent. (Cheers.) Two hundred new shares had been re corded on their books, and he trusted that when they next had the pleasure of meeting he should have to communicate to them that they had recorded an addition of twice as many more. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said they would now proceed to the more important part of the business, but previous to that if any gentleman present had any questions to put to him he should have great pleasure in answering them. lie should require the aid of three gentlemen to act as scruti neers, and the sooner these gentlemen volunteered, the sooner the business of the evening would be got through. The ballot wheel having been given in charge to Messrs.

SUBURBAN VILLA AND VILLAGE ASSOCIATION. The second public meeting of the shareholders and friends of the Suburban Villa and Village Association was held on Wednesday evening, at Crosby Hall, Bishopsgate-. street, for the purpose of balloting for 100 rights to choose sites and houses on the estate of the society, situate at Sydenham, near the Crystal Palace. The chair was taken, shortly before eight o'clock, iby Mr. Deputy Obbard. The CHAIRMAN, on taking his seat, said that, in fulfil ing the office of chairman, his only object was to make himself available for their comfort. When he was a boy, freeholds were only held by the lords of creation, but that, like everything else, had changed. The advantages held out by this society, he thought, would recommend them selves to every thinking person ; and when he informed them that from their first meeting the number of shares taken up had increased from GOO to upwards of 1,000, it was a fact that could not be denied. He would not de tain them from the objects of the meeting ,• and as they had met for business, his duty would simply be to hear all that had to be said, and simply put the question. With these remarks, he would call upon Mr. Lamb to move the first resolution. Mr. E. A. LAMB said he must be allowed to share with their chairman the pleasure of making himself available. He had had the honour of filling the chair at their first meeting held at Exeter-hall, and he assured them he felt as much honour in moving the first resolution that evening as he had done on that occasion. We had been wise enough to remove the burial of corpses from towns, but there was another thing that had to be done—that was to remove the living from the living (cheers), for we were really treading on each others head. The large man—he meant the rich man—could now reside at Brighton, come to town in the morning, transact his business, and go back again in the evening. But there was another large body that now demanded their attention—that was the working clerks. (Cheers.) The great barrier to clerks - residing in the country was the railway fare. The directors of the railroads, in providing for their more fortunate fellow men, had hitherto entirely overlooked those who could not to take up a first or second class yearly ticket ; but he had the pleasing duty of announcing that the directors had now seen the importance of providing the working popula tion with the same facilities that their richer brothers en joyed—at least, this was to be case on the South-Eastern and the London and Brighton railways, and this was suffi cient for the members of this society, as their property was situate near the Crystal Palace. He believed the rate charged was to be Si. for a first class ticket, 51. for a second, and 31. for a third. (Cheers.) Thus, the poor man would be enabled to reside in a beautiful part of the country, instead of, as hitherto, in an ill-ventilated, ill-constructed, and unhealthy abode, and if this fact was accomplished, ho believed the noblemen and gentlemen who had exerted themselves to carry this association into effect, would have done more good than anymonument of stone or brass could perpetuate. (Cheers.) When he first became acquainted with this association, it was, an infant, yet a healthy one ; they had now passed the pap and cordial, and the project was now a fact. It was for the shareholders to keep to the society pure, and he trusted he should shortly see the members—first, second, and third class—all travel ling in harmony. The association proposed to do more than merely give the shareholder the land ; they proposed to give him a home—(cheers) —there was a magic in the word that an• Englishmen only could appreciate. Another charm of tho society was, that it was neither a re o l r iNo i ll i s s or a political ono ; they left it to every one to rf duty to his God, his country, and his consciencep.eo(Clieoefrosi). The resolution he had the honour to move was t various lowing effect :—" Thatthe principle adopt u rcliase and the d by the various freehold land societies, in the wholtesscoestp price of freehold. distribution to their members land, ind which has been productive of so much commer cial and social benefit, ay b e eapiplied with equal, if not with greater advantage to in the wholesale erection of dwel lings, and that it is desirable that a society with this object should bo second.th established." (Cheers.) Mr. DALE, in ing the resolution, said the position attained by the society—they had. now nearly 1,100 mem b NVOUICI be a sufficient fact of itself to convince every o n r e s o — f its stability, and would show that it was appreciated by the public. The object of the association was to erect for its members freehold and leasehold villas and cottage residences of various sizes, with garden, near the Crystal Palace, at a wholesale cost, to be allotted at cost price, by ballot and seniority, to the members as tenants for letting or occupation, at a low rent, for about five years, and thenceforth as absolute owners, and to afford a safe invest ment for large or small sums, paid at convenience; at 51. per cent. and upwards. Four shares secured a seven-roomed villa, with garden and every convenience, well worth 3501., but costing the society only about 250/. ; and eight shares secured a 10-roomed villa, worth 8001., but costing only about 6001., and. so in proportion with larger or sm aller villas. Each house would be conveyed absolutely to the ' member when his share s are p a id up, and the balance of the cost defrayed by the payment of a few years rental. Two, three, and four-share houses and upwar ds would be erected. The resolution was then put to the meeting and declared carried. Tho CHAIRMAN said the next bnsinoss was to appoint auditors, and afterwards proceed to the ballot. Mr. ALE said he had announced at the last meeting that auditors would be appointed at this ; but he found that could only be done at a meeting of members, and, as this was a public meeting, it could not be done. A special meeting of members would be called for that purpose, and the gentlemen named were Dr. Dodsworth and Mr. Jelakin. Jones. He did not think they could. have better. A SHAREHOLDER said he did not think a better selec tion could be made--a more able gentleman than Mr. Jenkin Jones [they could not have, in fact he was one of the most able actuaries of the day.

Commissioners present—The Right Hon. Henry Labouchero (chairman), Sir J. Patteson, and Mr. Cornewall Lewis. _ Mr. Jones, solicitor, who gave evidence at the last sit ting, presented himself for further examination. He stated • that-he had served on the consolidated committee and. the navigation committee, and he could add his testimony to that of previous witnesses, to the effect that the chairmen of committees were always chosen from those members who were most qualified by knowledge and previous ex perience to conduct the business entrusted to them. He gave the most unqualified denial to the assertion that the convivial tastes of members influenced them in appointing their chairman. The working of the committees he con sidered-was most satisfactory. The committee meetings were very numerous in the course of the year, but the din ners which had been so much tcomplained of only took place after the monthly meetings. There was nothing in the dinners that was, objectionable, and the charge that the committees were more addicted to guzzling than to attend ing to business was unjust, and 'only a bugbear got up to Anise the public mind. against the corporation.. He dis tinctly repudiated the statem4nts .;of Mr. Ambrose Moore on-'this subject, and denied. that the dinners of the corn; mittees, which, he said, were of a very simple character, were indispensable to secure a proper attendance at the meetings The members attended because it was a mat ter of duty with them, and not from any unworthy or sel fish motive. The corporation had effected immense im provements in the streets of the metropolis, and a person who had seen the City 30 years ago would hardly know it to be the same place now-a-days. Mr. H. L. Taylor was next examined. He said he was chairman of the markets improvement committee, to which was entrusted the execution of the new metropol tan cattle market at Copenhagen-fields. He had. been a m ember of the corporation for about ten years, and had taken an active part in its affairs generally. In 1813 it was referred to the committee of which he was chairman to inquire into the state of the markets within the City, viz., Smithfield, Newgate, and Leadenhall markets, with the view of ascertaining whether any addition ought to be Made to' their space, or any' increased. accommodation afforded. The committee was also directed to inquire whether it was expedient to apply to Parliament for powers-to raise the funds necessary for effecting any such alterations by any increase or modification of the tolls levied in the markets. In pursuance of this reference, the committee originated a plan for the enlargement of Smith field-tharket, which was a rival scheme to that proposed by the Government for the entire removal of that market. An influential portion of the press opposed the view taken by,the corporatism on this subject, and the committee felt it to be their duty as trustees for the citizens whose mar ket, held by charter, was sought to be taken away from them to do . whet they believed to be for the benefit of the p u blic at large. The steps taken by the cor poration necessarily involved a certain amount of expense, but they.had incurred no more than was fully justified by the object they had in vie w. The plan of the corporation was -sanctioned by 7,000 electors of the City, who signed a memorial to:Lord John Russell in favour of the retention of the central cattle market at Smithfield, with the im provements proposed in it by the corporation, and the Daily News, the Morning Herald, the Morning Advertiser, and the 41forning Post, each published articles, in his judgment, more sound, more to the purpose, and more convincing than those which appeared in the other por tions of the press in favour of the Government scheme. Witness then said he wished. to allude to a part of Mr. Beunoch's evidence . in connection with this subject. Mr. Bennoch stated that he believed the corporation had sent paragraphs to the newspapers in favour of Smithfield-mar ket, accompanied by money to induce the editors to insert them, but that' he (Mr. Bennoch) could not himself pro duce proof of such an assertion, as he was not a member of the committee. Now he (Mr. Taylor) wished to give that statement the flattest contradiction. Such a proposi tion as Mr. Bennoch referred to had never entered intothe towatds - the expenses of the prosecution, and the corpora tion voted him 501. for that purpose. • The second applica tion was for a portion of the estreats, and it was not made until after the money had been set over by the Crown, and distributed among the parties who were entitled to it. The corporation always deals very liberally with persons having an equitable claim upon it ; but if it had complied with 'Mr. Gray's second application; the money must have come-oot of the pocket of-the sheriff or the under-sheriff. The witness then stated, in reference to, a charge that had 'Wen made against him that he had adjudicated in a case in which his partner was engaged prdfessionally to prose cute; that he hail not so adjudicated, but had merely re manded the prisoner, who was committed by Mr. Alder man"Wllson. Neither was it true that his partner had been engaged in the prosecution. [This portion of the worthy alderman's evidence was confirmed in the course of the day by Mr. Goodman, chief clerk of the Mansion House Police Court.] The inquiry was adjourned till Wednesday next. COURT OP COMMON COUNCIL. MR. LAYARD, M.P., VIE ASSYRIAN TRAVELLER.

The honourable gentleman retired from the court amidst immense cheering. METROPOLITAN AND GENERAL PEES• BOLD LAND SOCIETY. Last evening, a meeting of the shareholders of the Metro politan and General Freehold Land Society was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. 'Shortly before eight o'clock, the chair was taken by G. J. Philps, Esq. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the even ing, said their first business, as this was a special meeting of the members as well the eleventh public ballot, was to consider and adopt resolutions relative to the new rules of the society. Although there was no material alteration, yet this step was rendered necessary in order to comply with the Act of Parliament. Resolutions repealing the old and adopting the new rules having been passed, 4,The CHAIRHAN said, having disposed of the necessary formal business, he would now proceed to the more pleasing performance o the evening. That would consist in balloting for forty rights on the attractive estates held by the society. Twenty of those rights would be taken from the ballot di vision, and twenty from the rotation list. The advanta g es of freehold laud societie3 were now so well known and. ap predated, ths.t he would not take up the time of the meet ing with a recapitplation 4.... them... Great as were the ad vantages in a political point of view, he thought they were far exceeded, speaking of them commercially. This was essentially a working man's society, for by its aid they would be able to make that provision which was the duty of every thinking man. Many a working man knew the want of a five-pound note, and many also knew the diffi culty of getting one—what neat excuses were made when friends were applied to, such as,. " If you had called on me yesterday, I should have been able to let you had it." Others, as they could not lend the money, lent their names, and .the loan society was applied to. They all knew how beautifully and carefully the rules of those' socities were drawn up, their fees, fines, and giases of ale, for they were generally held at public-houses ; and instead of the 5/. and five shillings he ought to pay as interest, ho 'scarcely ever got clear for less than 101., or cent. per cent.- But by joining such societies as these, by contributing his shillings here he would soon get his five pounds' worth, and thus lay the foundation to future in dependence. The chairman then, in an admirable manner, srelated an anecdote of a gentleman, the architect of his own fortune, who had worked at the same bench with Sir 'Thomas Cubitt, the effect of which was, that if free hold land societies had existed when he was a young man he would have made his fortune thirty years ago. He had no doubt but that some of those present would hoar of a fortune being made by joining a freehold land society, and he sincerely trusted the Metropolitan and General Freehold Land Society would. be the one. (Cheers.) They had increased their shares list by 200 since the last meet ing, and he trusted those present would exert themselves among their friends • and of this he was sure, that they would receive the thanks of those friends for having brought be perfectly Ntfe in the hinds of the two gettlemen Razed; (Cheers.) We will now proceed to the ballot. The following are the successful numbers :-510, 785, .145, 434 , 724, 934, 77, 760, 1040, 818, 860, 626, 791, 831, 930, 902, 592, 71, 167, 10, 216, 266, 713, Ik6, 949, 137, )604Z3, 1073, 616, 601; 918 ; 19, 445, 319, 861,418, 'Zfp, 9 , 865, 1014, 531; 412, 548, 81, 402, 995, 313; 53, 'Da °27, 353, 855 411, 561, 630, 218, 828, 851, 190, 782, 100, 181, 882, 739, 120, 413, 125, 71 4 , 8 9 4 , 1008, 73 1 , 487 ; 566, 454, 68, 131, 750, 825 , 627, 842, 734, 618, 3 99, 150, 217, 113, 125, 900, 348; 46; 863, 799, 268, 521, 817969, 518, 564, _ 775 , 270.
