The f rces of Engle ,t 1 and France will prce , ably cut such a figure as will leave no doubt of the conseqn nccs of the affray. All countries look upon the issue with as much in• tercet as all classes feel in witnessing the unity of the skill of iaronmer Attire, which Eng land, France, and every other nation, as it is displayed by E. MOSES and SON in their magnificent Sping and evinces unparalleled experience and inimitable business vity. and will ensure the most brilliant success for their City and acti West-end Eittablishments. Tbe numberless novelties in materials and designs in Dress for all classes, and the most economical charges for Attire. Bespoke or Ready-made, will c'aim the attention of ladies and gen tlemen in every 'ectlon In society. Whate ver conjectures may have been made reseeding the Spring and Summer preparatioris of E. Moses and SON, *he most probab!e consequence is that they are des tined to be infinitely surpassed, for at no period of thne and by no house of business whatever were ever collected such a Splendid, Fashionable, and Seasonable stock of Clothinl, flats, Hosiery, Ladles' Dress Boots and Shoes, &c., as at the Establishments of E. Moses and Sots at the present time. gratuitonsly supplied by E.

Moses and Sores immense Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Boot and Shoe Department, furnishes the greatest advantages to Mer chants, Captains, and Emigrants, in the superior quality, suitability , and price of the goods. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON re g ret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untrad esma n-like falsehood of "Being connected with heir Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have NO CONNEXTON WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR ouT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 84 85, and 86, Aldgate. opposite the Church, all communicating.

The essential r j b . l ect of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resu l ;ting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other der ,A of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusa Hs partieul'ely revommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their f ,hysical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the f ,ealth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is enr,tied. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con , equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The A utlaor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive P rac tice In the *treatment of these delicate complaints, which aro ucfcrlees.tely teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant empiric,,,, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place ..- , .h lx. their pretensions.

As will be seen on reference to the map, it is very conveniently situated for that purpose. It can be easily defended against any land attack, and troops stationed there .conhl with great facility be marched to Adrianople, or embarked on the Sea of Marmora and landed at any part of the Black Sea coast where their presence might be required. The regiments belonging to the expeditionary army still in England will now, of course, proceed direct to Gallipoli, with out stopping at Malta. The Moniteur has the following paragraph : "The English Government has just given orders to the English troops assembled at Malta to depart for Gallipoli. The French Government sent 4,000 men there a few days since, and they probably arrived on the 27th. Vessels having on board 15,000 men have, within these few days, sailed from the coasts of France and Algeria. Other vessels will be des patched immediately with the rest of the army, which, to the number of more than 50,000 men, will be assembled in Tur key by the commencement of May. " The Minister of War has taken such steps as will enable this army to be increased as circumstances may require." It is said that Sir D. L. Evans will command the 5,000 men destined for a " special service." The entry of landsmen ; between 19 and 24 years of ago, standing sft. Gin. in height, for service in the navy, is resumed. Yesterday the Admiralty gave notice at Lloyd's that tran sports were required for the conveyande of 113 pieces of ord nance to Constantinople, the guns weighing 342 tons: Up wards of 59 tons of anchors anclrehain cable, for . the use of the Black Sea fleet, are to be transmitted at the same time. The Admiralty are also about to employ a considerable num ber of screw-steamers for particular service, of between four and six hundred tons. These vessels are to be hired for four months certain: Her Majesty's ship jannlijripagt#llll/0r C. A. Kane; new fitting at Woolwich, is ordered on particular service, and in structions were yesterday received at the Royal Rendezvous, Tower-hill, to use every exertion to complete her required number of blue jackets. Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Garvock, 31st Regiment, who has lately returned from the lonian Islands on private leave, is to be appointed to the staff of the expeditionary force. This excellent officer has had great experience in such duties. In 1845, on the outbreak of the Sptlej campaign, he was appointed brigade-major to Sir Harry Smith's division, and took a very active part in the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshab, Buddiwal, Aliwal, and Sobraon. In the last engagement he was shot through the leg, and it is a curious fact that the heal ing of the wound baffled all medical skill for several months till it was discovered that the bullet had carried in along with it the piece of cloth where the ball struck, which produced continual suppuration, and prevented - all recovery. In con sequence of the great satisfaction he gave to the hero of Ali wal, he was invited to become his private secretary on his appointment to the'Governorship of the Cape, and conducted himself with such conspicuous gallantry in the action of Boem Platts in 1848, that Sir Harry Smith, in writing home, asked as a personal favour that some mark of honour might be conferred upon his valuable and indefatigable secretary and aide-de-camp. He was made Lieut.-Colonel in the army, and remained with his.chief during the Kafir war till his return to England. To have given such continued and increasing satisfaction to Sir Harry is a circumstance beyond all praise. INSPECTION OF THE IST ROYALS.—This fine regiment was in spected on Tuesday on the Hoe, Plymouth, by Major-General Sir Harry Smith, G.C.8., the commander-in-chief of the western district, who was attended by his aide-de-camp and other officers. The men went through all the usual evolu tions, under the command of Major Montgomery. After having been thus actively engaged for about three-quarters of an hour, the general said a few inspiriting words to the men : —" I shall see you again before you embark," said he ; " but this I tell you—you are ready for the Russians, or any other enemy. We will have another day. Be ready for anything. Charge fifty times as you have to-day ! That is what we call • fighting, except the shooting part ; no pipeclay day." The gallant general then turned round, and seeing one of the sentinels ,ordering the people back, ho exclaimed, " Do let the men alone 1 it, they are our countrymen—they are the fellows we are fightin g c , for." The people around received this hearty outburst of English feeling with a tremendous cheer, which was again and again renewed while Sir Harry rode off the ground. The Cumberland, 72, sailing-ship, bearing the flag of Ad miral Sir George Seymour, commander-in-chief of the North American station, is expected at Spithead daily. It is re ported in this dockyard that her crew will be turned over to the St. Vincent, 105, now being fitted out as ordinary guard ship, but which, it .is confidently expected, will be sent up the Baltic, and that the Nelson, 120, will be brought forward as guard-ship in the •St. Vincent's place. With about 200 newly-raised men, the St. Vincent would be most efficiently manned by the Cumberland's crew. Several additional lieu tenants having been appointed to the Vestal, 26, now the largest ship on that station, it is expected that she will hoist the flag of Bear-Admiral Arthur Fanshawe, ou his taking the command of the North America and West Indies station, as to Vice-Admiral Sir George F. Seymour. [PRICE SD. sloop, to the Penelope steam -frigate; George Hickman (1854), to the Brisk, vice Tweedie. Assistant-Surgeon.—William, G. J.

DUBLIN, MARCH 30, The 14th Regiment, now stationed in Limerick, embark in the Bombay, for Malta ; the 17th, in the Cornwall and Dun bar; the 39th, iu the Star of the South and Courier; and the 89th, in the Timandra and Gosoloza, for Gibraltar, to replace the 30th, 44th, and 55th, ordered to the East. The two companies from the depot of the 55th, now at Athlone, ordered to join head-onarters„ for the purpose of proceeding on service to Turkey, expect to embark iu a few days; they consist of Major Daubeuey, Brevet-Major Coats, Captain Sebaw, Lieutenants Brown, Bissett, and Barnston ; Ensigns . Tayler, Birch, Roxby, Harkness, and Twysdeu, and Assistant-Surgeon Crocker, with 200 men. Lieutenants England and Hannay are on their passage home from head quarters at Gibraltar, to join the recruiting companies. Yesterday, about oue o'clock, a section of the Royal Ar , tillery, consisting of 105 men and three officers, embarked at the North-wall for Portsmouth in the City of Dublin Com pany's steam-ship Duke of Cornwall. Soon after the sailing of this ship the Prince steamer arrived from Liverpool, having ou board 11Erinen atrd two officers of the Royal Artillery, all of whom proceeded to the Portobello Barracks. No less than 40 sergeants, corporals, &c., have been told off to recruit in Dublin for this corps. The Prince steamer, after having landed the soldiers of the Artillery, returned to Liverpool last evening, at half-past nine o'clock, having on board 60 of the soldiers' wives who had recently embarked for the East. Volunteers from the different regiments not ordered for immediate service continue to arrive in large numbers daily from the country. A squadron of the' 16th Lancers will leave Island-bridge Barracks at half-past 8 o'clock this morning (Thursday); one troop for Limerick, under the comnand of Captain White; and one troop for Clonmel, under the command of Captain Grant, there to be stationed. It is expected that the whole regiment will shortly proceed to the south. The 90th (Perthshire) Light Infantry, at present forming part of Dublin garrison, having been called upon to furnish 50 volunteers for the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade, 140 men, who spontaneously came forward to respond to the call, paraded at Ship-street Barracks en Tuesday morning, for the inspection of Major Deverill, who addressed them in terms of tu 'measured satisfaction at their loyalty and devotedness. Fifty fine fellows were selected this afternoon, and will pro coed to join their new corps immediately. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, Trrunspay, By the United States' mail steam-ship Arctic, Captain Luce, we have advices from New York to the 18th inst. The Royal mail steam-ship Arabia, had arrived out. A Washington correspondent of the New York Herald utys "A special messenger left here in the cars this after ! loon at 5 o'clock, and sails in the steamer for Liverpool so-morrow, the bearer of despatches to Mr. Soule at Madrid. It is understood our Government perempto rily demands immediate satisfaction of the Spanish Go vernment for the Black Warrior outrage. It is a signi ficant fact worthy of mention that Mr. Crampton, the British Minister, has acted as Minister for the Spanish Government so far, relieving the Spanish acting Charge of all trouble." The Senate had passed a bill to promote the efficiency of the army. A mob at Erie had again torn up the railway. A fugitive slave ease had occasioned much excitement at *.Milwaukie. A fugitiVe negro who had been captured iby his owners was rescued by the mob and got clear saway. 'The boilers of the steamer Reindeer, trading on the Ohio, had exploded, killing upwards of 40 persons. !The ice on the Hudson had given way, and the naviga qion was open. 50 persons had lost their lives by the :sinking of the steamer J. L. Avery in the Mississippi :river. About the same number of persons had been lost ;by the burning of a steamer on the White River. In New York capital was rapidly accumulating from foreign and domestic sources, but the dem a nd more th an .kept pace with the supply. Foreign exchange was dull. There was a fair supply, and the demand was limited.

QUEBEC, March 11.—The Government have defini tively engaged for the service of Parliament a new building, in course of erection, or rather of completion, :for the Sisters of Charity, a religious body of nuns, -whose objects and devotion to their self-assumed and ar duous duties are most useful and praiseworthy. A school, hospital, and chapel, with numerous apartments ;for the accommodation of the sisters, are comprised in ,this building, affording ample space and good accommo dation for the sittings of both Chambers, for the library, the numerous c l er k s , an d wr i ters o f the establishment. The style of architecture is Gothic, the building of stone and very massive, the whole structure forming a very bold, various, and beautiful architectural ornament to the city. Through the good-will of the Roman Ca tholic archbishop and ecclesiastical confreres this advan tage has been obtained to the country, not, however, forgetting the readiness of the sisters to comply with the wish expressed to them. The rent of the building is fixed at 1,0001. currency per annum, and it will be ready for Mr. Speaker to take the chair in the course of a couple of months. The judges and lawyers, who sub mitted with a good outward grace but much inward re luctance to the parliamentary writ of ejectment from their dingy court-house, are much rejoiced at the re covery of their familiar walls. The new building stands ' about 5Q yards down the slope of a hill which becomes steep and abrupt as it progresses, and just outside St. John's Gate. In the chapel the sittings of the Assem bly will be held, and this room is said to have a decided family resemblance to your St. Stephen's Chapel, wherein the parliamentary gatherings of the mother country have been used in times gone by to be held. The resemblance may perhaps stop here ; but if it be said that our people do not talk as well nor as much to the purpose as yours do, we may at least stand upon our wind, and safely affirm that if we do not talk better, we certainly can talk longer than you do. In stating in my last that 1,500 miles of railway were in progress in this country, I underrated the extent by one-third. There are 2,000 miles in progress. The Great Western Railway, from Niagara Suspension-bridge to Windsor, facine. Detroit, on the St. Clair River, a distance over 20emiles, was completed and came into operation on the let of January last. I perceive by the western papers that the passengers by the train exceed 500 per diem both ways, making the passenger traffic 1,000 daily. It is even now scarcely possible to carry the freight offered. All this travel is to or from the Atlantic sea-board. When the Grand Trunk Railway shall be completed from its western terminus to Port land on the Atlantic, covering a distance of 900 miles, which may be t raver s e d w ith ou t transhipment in less than 30 hours, the amount of traffic, if at the rate just named, will exceed all the calculations yet made upon it. The opening of the Grand Trunk will take place, it is believed, early in the spring of 1850.. - With reference to our direct steam navigation from Liverpool to Quebec, and in winter to Portland, you are aware that a series of disasters and disappointments have nullified the contract entered into by the Canadian Go- - verninent with some estimable gentlemen in Liverpool the year before last. These gentlemen made promises and came under obligations, in perfect good faith, no doubt, to establish a line of first-rate steamers for the accommodation of the travellers, the merchants, and emi grants passing to and fro, an d transmitting goods be tween the two countries. The want of regularity, infe riority of the vessels, accidents at sea, long passages, and sometimes no passages, in painful contrast with every other line between the two hemispheres, has certainly broken down the hopes of all concerned on this side the water, as it has worked the forfeiture of the contract, if the Government should think fit to terminate the connection. It would be difficult to restore confidence in such a quarter ; and this is the less to be regretted • because the native resources of the commercial men of Canada are about to fill our waters with vessels of supe rior build, speed, and safety, with which few, if any, others in the world may compete. In the present sea- • son of navigation a Canadian firm of eminence, and in connection with capitalists and practical men at home, will place on the Quebec and Liverpool route three iron screw steamers of 2,000 tons burden, travelling at an average speed of 12 knots an hour. By the opening of this navigation in 1855 these three vessels will be joined by two others of equal or superior pretensions. The Government, thus finding that every w ee k a re li able vessel will leave these sores for England, will be enabled, without any contract or monopoly, to send their mails at a price which will sufficiently remunerate the carriers and answer all the ends of the senders. We have no news yet from your side of any encounter between the flags of France and England and the Rus sians ; but our people are talking of offering a Canadian built frigate, fully armed and equipped for the service of the present war, to the mother country. The home military authorities, I understand; are about' to erect batteries on the island of Orleans, the better to command the approach by the river to Quebec.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, not to be distinguished from.the orginals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be foundsuperior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp)rt and pre serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

This Company grants policies to Members of their own Company, assuring against death by railways, on payment of only one sum of four shill:ngs per cent. Thus, a person aged 30, who has an ordinary Assurance with the Company for 1001, for which he pays 21. 4s. lid. annually, may have a railway policy for 1,0001. for one single pay ment of 405., payable in the event of his death by railway accident, and in addition to the 1001. secured by t he ordinary policy. SELF-PROTECTING LIFE ASSURANCE. This Company have introduced a plan of assurance, whereby the following important advantages are secured by one policy : I. The payment of a principal sum to the aotured himself at a specified age. 2. An annuity to commence at that age. 3. The payment of a principal sum in the event of death, when ever that may happen. 4. The full benefit of all sums paid, although the premiums should at any time be discontinued. 5. Relief from the payment of premiums after a specified age. 6. Small periodical payments, so as to suit the convenience of the assured The premiums are made payable quarterly, half-yearly. or yearly ; but by an arrangement with an agent, acting for the Company, they may be paid weekly or monthly. All these advantages are obtained by one policy, and there is no sacrifice of any sum that has been paid, in case the party should not continue his payments. As an example, a person aged 25, by paying 14s. quarterly, will secure 501. to himself on his attaining 60 years of age, and an an nuity of 101. on reaching that age ; and in the event of his death at any time (however soon that may happen after he has made the first payment). the 501 will be paid to his representatives. By doublying the premium the soh assured will be 1001, and the annuity 201.

As an example of the effect of discontinuirg to pay premiums, suppose a person aged 25 to take a self-protecting policy for 1001., and an annuity of 201., _payabl on attaining 60, end to continue the payment o f premiums only until he reaches 35 years of age, in such case the policy will remain efteetual to the extent of 27/. 45. 6d and an annuity of 51.

Napier, it appears, made no long stay at Kiel, but, as we an ticipated, have proceeded further northward, and. with the view, it is believed, of meeting and engaging that division of the Russian fleet which is separated from the Cronstadt force by the ice. The last accounts say that the fleet had sailed for Kioge Bay —a fine anchorage, with five to seven fathoms wa ter, just below Copenhagen. Various reports are in circulation respecting the Russian fleet: Some accounts state that, by extraordinary exertions, the divisions that were separated by the ice have joined; that the Emperor is directing the equipment an( refitting of the fleet in person, and that his object is to come down/ upon the British fleet with his 28 sail of the line before reinforcements can reach Sir C. Napier to render the British fleet a more equal match for him. It is to be hoped, however, that the Comman der-in-Chief will have the opportunity of bringing just oue half of the enemy to action. We have no fear, then, of the result. PORTSMOUTH, MARCII 30. The James Watt, 91, screw, Captain George Elliot, sailed from Spithead at daylight this morning to join the fleet in the Baltic, but we regret to add she has been compelled to put back, temporarily disabled in her engine department. By inquiry on board, we find she had gone about 40 miles to wards the Downs, when it was discovered that her bilge in jection pump was quite useless, and this being a most seri ous defect and not to be repaired except at a dockyard, in duced Captain Elliot to put back at once to this port. We fear the damage cannot be repaired under two or three days. The Penelope, 16, paddle-wheel frigate, Captain Caffin, re fitting to proceed to the Baltic, hauled out of the factory basin dock this afternoon to complete the repair of her defects. It is reported that the whole of her former crow are to rejoin her, but this we give as mere rumour, and we trust is not correct, for, while such ships as the St. George, 121, and Prince Regent, 90, are without any adequate proportion of " A.B.'s" - wo think the Penelope should not have the whole of her late fine crew returned to her. The St. Vincent, 101, Captain E..H. Scott, hauled into the fitting basin, and thence into dock, to-day to have her bottom overhauled and scrubbed down. The Scourge, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop (first fitted out as a bomb-vessel, and carrying a 13-inch mortar) has been to day placed in the steam basin to be equipped for sea service with all expedition. She has been masted to-day, and is taking in her machinery. The Resistance, store and troopship, Master Commander Bradshaw, hauled out of the fitting basin to-day to complete her refit alongside the dockyard jetty. The steam staff of this dockyard are on board the James Watt, and repelling her defect with the utmost alacrity. The Colossus, 80, has her sternpost for the crew in and fixed, and is getting her internal equipments as fast as hands can supply them. Her masts, yards, stores, drc., are in readi ness to go on board as soon as they can be received. PLYMOUTH, Menu 30. The two flat-bottomed launches, 27 feet long each, for landing troops, have been constructed in seven days by Mr. Waterman, of Anderton, the contractor, and are now in pos session of the dockyard authorities. The seamen riggers employed on the hospital ship l3elleisle, Commander James Hoskeu, fitting for service in the -Baltic, got up topmasts and topmast rigging to-day. The Government contract ship Allipore No. 8, Captain Millman, with Captain Paynter, Lieutenant Young, and 50 artillerymen, cavalry horses, die., from Woolwich, for Malta, having been as far west as the Dodman, put back to the Sound this afternoon. The Phcebe, 50, sister ship to the Indefatigable, will be launched at Plymouth, on the 12th of next month, and then taken into dock to be fitted with a screw propeller. SOUTHAMPTON, 3/Amu 30. The, camp equipage of Lord Raglan, Commander-in- . bhief of the British. Expeditionary Army of the East, is being shipped in 'the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's ship Sultan, which leaves this port to-morrow (Friday) for Constantinople. A telegraphic despatch has been received this afternoon, ordering the steam-ships Orinoco, Thames, and Medway to be prepared for sea without delay. A large quantity of Minid rifles and ball cartridges is to be shipped by these vessels to morrow. The precise time of their departure, or the regi— ments they are to .take, is at present unknown ; but it is stated that, after leaving Southampton, they will proceed to Constantinople or the Black Sea direct, not calling at Malta. A considerable quantity of stores for the British fleet in the Black Sea has been shipped by the Sultan for Constan tinople. WOOLWICH, MARCH 30. The St. IEI4, No. 11 horse transport-ship, and the Col grain, No. 12 horse transport-ship, were both taken out of the .basin to-day and, down to ,the , moorings off the Royal Arsenal, preparatoiy'to 'their departUre with the Edendate, No. 10, carrying the pendant of Lieut. Martin, , R.N., for the Mediterranean. The Rhadamanthus, steam store-vessel, Master Commander Belam, was also taken out of the basin, and left for Ports mouth with the engines and boilers of the Colossus, 80, screw steam-ship at that port. Her Majesty's ship Janus, Commander C. A. Kane, now fitting at Woolwich, is ordered on particular service, and in structions were yesterday recoived•at the Naval Rendezvous, Tower-hill, to use every exertion to complete her required number of blue jackets.

HOME COUNTIES AND METROPOLITAN FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. A meeting of the shareholders and friends of the Home Counties and Metropolitan Freehold Land Society was held on Wednesday evening, at Badley's Hotel, Bridge street, Blackfriars, for the purpose of balloting for forty rights to choose land on the estates of the society, at Wood Green, Tottenham and Wimbledon Park. There are two special advantages in this society, viz..:-- Members are not required to pay down any part of the price of land prior to choosing. the plots. The full amount of the shares drawn in the ballot is advanced ; and more shares aro not drawn in the ballot than can be supplied with land, so that the members may have the advantage of selling their drawn shares at a premium. Two estates have been purchased for the society during the past year. That at Wood Green had been very satisfactory and pro fitable, both to the allottees and the society at large. The other estate (not yet allotted) promised to be a more suc cessful purchase than the first, there being a greater de mand for plots upon it. It was s ituat e d in imbledon Park, in the midst bf gentlemen's seats, and was well adapt ed for first-class villas. A bonus of 51.85. 4d. per cent. has been added to the past year's subscription, and in future interest at the rate of Si. B.s. 4d. per Cent. per annum would be given on all subscriptions, with such additional bonus to the end of the year as the profits of the society would allow. Shortly after eight o'clock the chair was taken by W. Eykelbosch, Esq. The usual routine business having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN said, in opening the proceedings of the evening, his observations would be addressed generally to those persons who had not yet availed themselves of the inducements held out by freehold land societies. At this time there could be no question of the many advantages put forth by land societies, and especially by theirs, the Home Counties and Metropolitan. They at the present time had two very attractive estates, and the rights for choice on each already commanded a handsome premium. One of these estates was situate close to the best part of Wimbledon Park; it was on the summit of the hill, was naturally drained, and was surrounded by exceedingly valuable property, consisting of houses built in a most costly style, and occupying a large space of ground, three or four to the acre, and valued at between 1,0001. and 3,0001. each. This fact of itself would be quite sufficient to prove the value of the land for building purposes. He was not going to say that the humble man could build his house of the value of 2001. on that estate ; they would have none such there, but the rights to choose ob • tained from the ballot would enable the possessor of a right to dispose of it at a premium, as no person would be al lowed to build there without obtaining the poor man's right, and that could not be procured without paying him the premium for it. (Cheers.) The estate was not large, yet the prices paid at present for rights, averaged between 12/. and 131. premium, and by the time it was allotted, that sum would be greatly increased, and the humble holder would get a premium for that which he obtained through the ballot, greater than that which could be got from any other society. It was intended by the exe cutive committee, he was happy to inform them, to purchase another estate, suitable for the erection of houses of a similar description, for the seller of the right to the Wimbledon estates would naturally wis h to expend the premium he had obtained inbuilding a house. It would ,be the duty as well as to the interest of the society that an estate of that description should be obtained, and that as speedily as possible. He had previously said the Wimble don estate was not a large ono ; it was five acres in extent, and had been divided into 99 lots, and although it held out such inducements to the rich portion of the community and the speculative builder, the society had so arranged the or der of things that no one man would reap an advantage at the expense of his fellow. (Cheers.) The principle of free hold land societies, he was happy to inform them, had ex tended to the British colonies, and in Australia a very large number of people were obtaining land through their instrumentality which, otherwise, they would not have had the slighest hope of obtaining. He had the plea sure to inform the meeting that the executive committee had two or three estates in view, all in excellent situations, and the position of the property would leave it open for any one to build whatever kind of house he pleased— houses of the value of 1501. or 2001. He was sure that whatever estate it was decided on to purchase, when it was placed before the shareholders, it would please them all. He had now to call their attention to the immediate ob ject of the meeting this evening ; it was to ballot for forty rights of choice. The committee would now be glad to answer any question or hear any inquiries, or if there was doubt on any subject, it was right that subject should be ventilated, for it was these things which formed the basis of success in all societies. Few freehold land societies could boast of greater success in the estates purchased, or the cordial unanimity that existed between the committee and its shareholders. (Cheers.) He trusted that next year he should have as great pleasure in dilating on the success they would leave had attained as he had had this year on the past transactions of the society. (Cheers.) A SHAREHOLDER wished to know whether the land tax was redeemed on the Wood Green estate? Mr. KNIGHT (the secretary) said the estate was pur chased free of land tax. A conversation here ensued with respect to the measure ment of the land on the Wood Green estate differing from that stated in the plans of the society. Mr. GOULD gave notice that on the occasion of the next meeting he should move the following resolution :-" That an office copy of the plan be furnished by the surveyor, stating the exact quantity of frontage, in feet and inches, on the plots of the Wood Green estate." The CHAIRMAN then asked if any other gentleman had any question to put ; if not, he would at once call upon the secretary to proceed with the ballot. The ballotting then commenced, and the following were the numbers drawn :-GT, 3, 181, 162, 294, 236, 314, 331, 468, 410, 557, 589, 699, 695, 746, 730, 881, 817, 950, 953, 1014, 1021, 1103, 1173,1264, 1237, 1313, 1314,1461, 1478, 1528, 1541, 1641, 1607, 1763, 1705, 1812, 1840, 59, 1407. Mr. E. Dixox said, as the business of the evening had terminated as far as the ballotting was concerned, he begged to move the following resolution-namely, " That the best thanks of this meeting be given to the Chairman for his courteous, conduct that evening." The motion having been seconded, Mr. KNIGHT put it to the meeting, and declared it car ried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN having returned thanks for the compli ment, the proceedings terminated. A BRILLIANT COMET.—Observatory, Regent's-park, March 29.—Mr. Hind, in a letter to a contemporary, says-- , --" We have observed here this evening a very bril liant comet, near the western horizon, in the constella tion Pisces. Its nucleus, which is of a fine gold colour, must be nearly as bright as stars of the first magnitude, since it was traced in a hazy sky until a few minutes before setting. The tail is several degrees long, and runs off from the nucleus in a single stream. This comet re sembles-the one which attracted general attention last August. A mere glance at the western .heavens, if - the sky be clear,_ will suffice diseover the comet."
