The balance-sheet 1862-3 and the annual report of the committee will be submitted at the usual yearly meeting next December. The candidates for the two auditors to be elected by the shareholders this day, under Rule 30, are the Rev. Wm. George Goodchild, Mr. James Goad, and Mr. Harding. The committee have the pleasure to state that they have re elected Wm. Astbury, Esq., and Newnham Winstanley, Esq., as their two auditors, and when the members have nominated their two auditors, the society's accounts for the past year will be audited in due course. The Henwick Road Estate, West Worcestershire, was allotted at Worcester, on the 27th of August, after a public meeting, at which Sir E. Lechaiere, Bart., presided, and at which Viscount Ranelagh, the Hon. and Rev. W, Talbot, the Hon. Robert Bourke, attended as a deputation from the Board, to explain the general working of the society, and the mode of allotment of estates. The meeting was highly satisfactory, and the sale of land has been equally so ; and as the Renwick Road Estate is within an easy walk of Worcester and of a first-class station, has a gravelly soil, stands high, with fine views of the Malvern Hills, the pro perty bids fair to be speedily built upon, The Ipswich estate was offered for sale on the Bth of July, after a publi3 meeting, at which Viscount Ranelagh wss the chairman, supported by J. C. Cobbold, Esq., M.P., the Hon. and Rev. W. Talbot, and Capt. Jervis, M.P., mem bers of the board. After some plots had been selected, a wish was expressed by the inhabitants of the town that the formation of a crescent, leaving an open space in front for ornamental gardens, should be abandoned, and the whole of the land thrown into allotment : a new plan has been issued to meet the local views. Ihe estate adjoins the Handford Hall Villas, and is close to the station, and is essentially building land. Owing to the new line of railway which will soon pass through the Kentish-town estate, it has been re quisite to issue a new plan of allotment for this increasing neighbourhood, Tke station will be within a few yards of the property. The second portion of the Woodhouse estate, Wanstead, which will be offered for sale has been included in a now plan, affording facilities for the erection of either small or large houses, which are much required in this healthy district. Tha executive committee will allot the Avenue estate, lievois Mount, Southampton, after a public meeting in that town, on Wednesday, the 21st of Octo ber. The land has been divided into 44 building plots, ranging in price from £44 per plot up to £4lB. The 11th anniversary was completed on the 7th of September last; and the executive committee cannot enter on the 12th year of the Conservative Land Society without a word of congratulation to the shareholders on its prosperous pro gress, with a renewal of the assurance on the part of the board, that no exertions shall be spared to secure its con tinuous prosperity.

The gunboat Speedwell, Commander George F. Cottam, has sailed from Greenhithe, after the adjustment of com passes, for her station on the West Coast of Africa, and the iron storeship Supply, Master Commander Bowden, has also sailed from Greenhithe, with a cargo of victualling and dockyard stores from Deptford and Woolwich, for Gibraltar and Malta. The iron frigate Achilles, under construction at Chatham, is to have her bottom covered with Hayes's composition to prevent fouling before being undocked. At the request of the Admiralty, Mr. Hays and Mr. Crispin are to inspect the bottom of the iron steamer Recruit, to which both their compositions were applied before the incrustations and ac cumulations on the bottom of that vessel are removed. The screw steamer Victor, 6, 859 tons, 350-horse power, belonging to the second division of the Chatham Steam Re serve, has been disposed of by the Admiralty, by public tender, to Mr. Pearson, shipbroker, London, for the sum of £9,500. By direction of the Admiralty she has been removed to Sheerness, where she has been docked and examined, and has since been placed in the great basin, where she is un dergoing a thorough overhaul and refit, and at the same time supplied with a new rig, at the expense of the pur chaser. The Victor is a modern vessel of her class, and an exceedingly fine ship, her sale, therefore, by the Admiralty for the comparatively low sum stated has created consider able surprise. Her engines are in first-rate condition, re quiring little repair, and are_of themselves quite worth the entire sum paid for the ship. The principal reason assigned for the very low speed hitherto attained by this ship, consi dering her enormous engine power, is that her boilers are placed too low and cannot pass the steam quickly enough to the engines. This defect, however, can be easily and cheaply remedied, and there is little doubt the Victor will ultimately become an exceedingly fast and efficient ship in the hands of private owners. The Edgar, 71, screw line-of-battle ship, Capt. G. T. P. Hofnley, flagship of Rear-Admiral of the White, Sidney, Colpoys Decree, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief of the Channel Fleet, went into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead on Saturday for docking and refit. The Salamander, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 320 horse power, Mr. Vernon Jones, master in charge, after having been fitted for the first division of the Sheerness Steam Reserve and made ready for immediate commission, has been re taken into dock at Sheerness by orders from the Admiralty, to be fitted with a new poop and to undergo other alterations to render her fit for surveying services off the coast of Van couver's Island. The necessary alterations will take six weeks to accomplish, after which the vessel will be c9mmis sioned, and proceed at once to that duty. The name of the principal and other officers who were connected with the accident which recently took place on the occasion of docking the paddlewheel steamer Medusa, 4,312 horse power, at Sheerness, as reported in The Sun have been forwarded to the Admiralty, together with a full report of the circumstances connected with the occurrence, preparatory to a full and stringent investigation as to the alleged neglect which gave rise to the accident.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in- Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Wednesday, the 28th inst. The annexed general order, dated Horse Guards, the 10th inst., has been promulgated by the Adjutant-General, Sir J. Yorke Scarlett : " His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding in-Chief is pleased to approve of general officers command ing districts and divisions in Great Britain, and officers com manding in garrisons not included in any military district, granting leave of absence to officers, and - furloughs to non commissioned officers and soldiers, under the following regulations and restrictions, viz. :-1. Leave of absence granted under this order to officers may commence on the 15th of October, or as soon after as the half-yearly inspec tion shall have been made. Furloughs granted to non commissioned officers and soldiers may commence from the Ist of next month. 2. These indulgences are to terminate on the 14th of March next, when, agreeably to her Ma jesty's regulations, all officers and soldiers are to be pre sent with their respective regiments and depots. 3. One field-officer, one-half of the captains, and one-half of the subaltern officers are always to be present. 4. No officer (except in the performance of duty, or for the purpose of joining his regiment) is to quit the United Kingdom with out having first received her Majesty's special per mission, according to the regulation on that head. 5. Officers employed on the recruiting service or upon the Staff of the army are not to be included in the number hereby fixed for the constant duty of the regiment or depot. 6. The applications for leave for regimental paymasters and medical officers are to continue to be made in the mode prescribed in the regulations and orders for the army. 7. In case of short leave of absence being required by adjutants, riding masters, quartermasters, or veterinary surgeons of regi ments, it will be necessary that a special report be made as to the mode in which their duties are to be performed during their absence, and that their commanding officer is satisfied. 8. The proportion of non-commissioned officers, trumpeters, drummers, and private men to whom furloughs may be granted is not to exceed 20 per battery of horse and field artillery, or ten per troop battery of garrison artillery or company. Commanding officers of regiments returning from India may exercise a liberal discretion in granting furloughs to soldiers who come home with their corps, W hen corps are not stationed in garrisons or military dis tricts, the officers commanding are at liberty to use their discretion in granting the indulgence of leave of absence under the foregoing restrictions, to the officers and soldiers under their command, reporting the same to the Adjutant- General. His Royal Highness expects that the general and other officers who aro empowered to grant leave of absence under the provisions of this order will strictly confine that grant to the proportion of officers herein specified." It is understood that the court-martial on Lieut.-Col. Crawley will be held at the Club-house at Aldershot. No date is yet notified for its commencement, but the proba bility is that it will take place about the middle of Novem ber. - - - - WAR sAW, Oct. 8. A barbarous scene was enacted here yesterday in the courtyard of a private house which the Rus sians took upon themselves to turn into a place of execution. A workman employed at the iron fac tory of Messrs. Evans and Co., had been arrested in the street and found to have in his pocket some hollow knobs of iron, one inch in diameter, and which, according to some, were screws for iron bed steads, and according to others cases for grenades, but which, by all accounts, would not, had they been filled with fulminating powder, have been at a ll formidable missiles. Having positively refused, a fter numerous interrogatories, to state for whom t h es e passible bed screws and probable • grenade cases had been made, he was ordered to be s hot, and at 10 o'clock yesterday morning was deliberately executed in presence of his fellow workmen, who were summoned by the police t h e night before and forced to attend. The poor fel low had contravened a Russian police decree, and it is likely enough that he may have meant the bits of iron which he carried in his pocket t o b e use d aga i nst the men with whom his country is at w ar .

The proprietors of the factory were told that pa id the fine th ey must close the i r doors,unlese they an d that if they decide to close their d oor s they mus t still pay their workmen.

This result leads one to ask how it happens that the Zamoyski nw b en Palace, nv inn which theßus s i an G overn ment must ed has no con nec ti on w ith the n Zamoyski house, is still held as confiscated property? If bombs were thrown from the Zamoyski house (and Poles who witnessed the explosion say that the smoke was so great and such general confusion was caused that it is impossible to say where they came from), then it is not astonishing that in accordance published last J a nuary the house shouldwitha poli ce httv edict ebeenconfiscated.

It appears that the affair between the Russian Go vernment and Messrs. Evans is not yet at an end. As if annoyed at having had to rescind one of its orders (though a Government so equitable as that of Russia ought to remember that it is never too late to be just), it has now published a formal edict by which all proprietors of factories and workships are made responsible for the acts of their operatives and sgsvetrit6, mad condemned to have their estab- A divisional field-day, ordered, according to popular rumour, in anticipation of the presence of the King of the Greeks and his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, took place at Aldershot on Wednesday. At 10 o'clock the division was formed up on Claycart-ridge, and immediately afterwards advanced to the westward. It proceeded to Eelmoor, then wheeled to the right, and manoeuvred to the northward. About two hours were spent in performing evolutions, and on their termination the troops marched past. The half-yearly inspections at Aldershot have been con tinued during the past week. Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Penne-. father, K . c. 8., inspected th e D and H b atter i es of the 'royal Horse Artillery on Wednesday, and the A battery, 4th bri gade. Major -Gen.

The police of Warsaw can find bullets wherever they please ; but even if it were certain that they would always conduct their researches in the fairest manner the proprietor of a factory would still be liable at any moment to be ruined, and sure to be ruined if the Government desired it. The workmen of Warsaw began the insurrection. Numbers of them are at this moment with detachments in the field, and those who remain at their ordinary occu pations are at the same time doing all they can to help the insurgents. To pretend that their actions can be constantly controlled by their employers is more than unreasonable. The ironworks of Messrs. Evans and Co. must necessarily be closed. Polish factory owners will, it is said, not be allowed to shut up. I find that whenever any act of tyranny is per formed or meditated here the Russians turn naturally to Imperial France, and ask what the French Go vernment would have done, or woul.d probably do, under similar circumstances. It is a favourite boast in France that French ideas penetrate everywhere, and they certainly have penetrated here, As the Russians, when they were trying to raise themselves, demanded in their assemblies the introduction of reforms based on the principles of the English Con stitution, so, now that they are degrading themselves, they inquire what in their present case the Emperor of the French would do. " When Napoleon's troops were fired upon from a house in Dec., 1851, he did not content himself with arresting the inmates and bringing them to trial," they remark ; and they are now considering whether he did not, in January, 1852, cause employers of labour to keep their work shops open so as to prevent disaffected artisans from being turned out idle upon the streets. It is as easy to introduce such ideas as these from France as it is to put French forage caps upon the heads of Rus sian soldiers—a change, by the way, which has given to the old Muscovite bear somewhat the ap pearance of a monkey. Some day, perhaps, when the present madness of Russia has ceased, the Rus sians will discover that there is something better to imitate in France than its administrative despotism, which joined to the original Russian despotism of Oriental pattern gives a result that neither East nor West can stand. I have already had occasion to mention that the Polish newspapers published in Warsaw never men tion or allude in any manner to Polish affairs. One might imagine from the contents of these sheets that no such place as Poland existed. On the other hand the Russian journals which arrive here from St. Petersburg and Moscow speak with considerable freedom, and not always with admiration, of what is now taking place in this unhappy country. A letter from Warsaw published in the St. Petersburg Valornoste gives an account of the sacking of the Zamoyski house, which is very like the accounts printed in the foreign papers with the adjectives and adverbs left out. Thus the writer tells us that the soldiers destroyed 6,000 volumes belonging to Pro fessor Kowalewaki, and that he heard a Pole atPiotr kow say that several persons were killed during the pillage, and that an infant in its cradle was thrown out into the street from a fourth, floor window. Such words as "infamous," "barbarous," &e., are not once used in the description; nor, indeed, are they necessary. The truth, by the way, as to the cradle story is that a cradle was thrown out of window, but there was no child in it. Earl of Dudley and Sir J. Pakington on Prison Discipline. The House of Lords has not been stirred so pro foundly since the repeal of the Corn Laws as on that occasion. It was agitated to its utmost depths.

But an old man, a very old man, enters the house. His lower limbs seem almost helpless, and he is as sisted with pious care by a brother peer. The old man is led, almost carried, indeed, to his usual seat. That seat has now become historic, like the Great Duke's, or the cross bench now occupied by the heir apparent. It is a seat on the second bench be hind Lord Derby, but at its extreme end, nearest to the bar, and consequently next to the gangway. Great sensation is excited by the appearanc e of this venerable old senator, and still more wonder is felt when the spectators observe that a little hand -rail covered with red cloth—the only one in the House —has been affixed to the back of the bench below, so as to enable the aged peer to grasp it and address their lordships without falling. It is Lord Lynd hurst, who enters that day on his eighty-ninth y , r, and is about to celebrate his birthdwy by a which, as we can already predict, will be accepted by all the peers on his own side of the House as perfectly conclusive and unanswerable. The debate is opened by Earl Granville, who moves the second reading of the bill. His smiling, good-humoured face prepossesses the audience in his favour, but his style is that of one who tries to coax by a persuasive tone rather than convince by incon trovertible arguments. He twitters round his sub ject, and pecks at it, like a sparrow amusing him self with an empty periwinkle. He holds weapons of the best edge and temper, but handles them feebly and inartistically, and too often ekes out a weak thrust by a jocose smile. After a long speech, in. which he • quotes many authorities in literature against the paper duty, Lord Granville resumes his seat. What do we see now ? The venerable figure that we saw enter the Hou se i s s h ow i ng signs of life and animation. He grasps his hand-rail, and, after two or three convulsive efforts, gains his feet. His lower limbs are so weak that he dare not let go his hold, for fear of falling either forward or back ward. Sir Charles Barry's magnificent chamber has never offered a more curious and remarkable spectacle than it presents at this moment from the members' gallery. The Liberal peers who sit on the opposite benches look at the old man with visible interest, but of course without movement or change of position. Not so the peers on his own side of the House. They are compelled to turn on their seats, and thus rows of eager, anxious, in quiring faces, in which admiration and respect are equally blended, are upturned to view as they are directed to the aged orator. It is impossible to describe the intense interest with which men of all parties and statesmen of both houses listen to an old man who has come to bo viewed as the Nestor of his time. The Iron Duke, even in the later days of his lite, was scarcely regarded with so much pride and respect. That a statesman who is almost a nonagenarian should address their lordships at all, is almost unparalleled in Parliamentary annals. But that a peer of so great an age should bear the brunt of a debate, should "get up" a constitutional question, and exhaust all the precedents and arguments bearing upon the privilege in dispute, may safely be said to be unexampled in the history of modern Europe. With slow and measured speech, only occasionally inaudible; with masterly self possession ; taking full time to collect his thoughts in the pauses between his sentences, and deliberately choosing his words as he goes along, the noble and venerable peer defends the privileges of the House of Peers, and contends for the constitutional right of that estate of the realm to reject Mr. Gladstone's bill, if financial difficulties and a dark and troubled European horizon warned their lordships to inter fere. Loud and long were the cheers that greeted the close of his masterly speech. The love of praise, that " last infirmity of noble minds," was by no means dead in Lord Lyndhurst, and the old man was evidently gratified by the plaudits and the ad miration he excited. While other men of fewer years have sought to gratify their craving for noto riety by rushing into eccentricity, his cool judgment led him to eschew all singularity except that de rived from legitimate oratorical distinction. As they listened to his peroration the peers could not help thinking that they might be listening to the honied and persuasive accents of the venerable Nestor for the last time. Every one felt that the scene they were gazing at possessed a certain his torical interest. Some Royal Academician may yet try and make a picture of the ancient lawyer on his legs, with every peer on the Opposition side turning round to look at him. When he lets go the hand-rail, and sinks into his seat, the old man falls back with such a want of elasticity that nothing but an apparatus of pulleys and chains seems likely to lift him on his legs again. When he leaves the house, the Earl of Lucan well nigh carried him out, and one would scarcely have been surprised if the Crimean general had, like pious tEneas, seized the old man, and borne him out on his shoulders. When the division takes place, and Lord Chancellor Campbell announces the num bers to be—For the Paper Duty Bill, 104; against it, 193; astonishment at so unexpected a majority for an instant arrests the Derbyite cheer. When it , bursts forth, a number of strangersin their lords/ 3 4' 8 , gallery are so carried away by the excitement , tba:: they, too, join in the shouts of victory—a breach of c annot order which the oldest officer of the house ost remember to have before occurred.

The Michaelmas quarter sessions for the county of Worcester have been opened hers to-day, and among other subjects brought under discussion were prison discipline and capital punishment. The Earl of Dudley, chairman of the court, presided, and there was a very full bench of magistrates, among whom were Lord Lyttelton, Lord North wick, Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, Bart., M.P., &c. A report, presented by the visiting magistrates of the gaol, was read, recommending, inter alia, that for the future the prisoners' bedding, instead of mattresses, should be boards, with proper cover ing for warmth, for the first month of their con finement. The question of selecting a place for erecting a public scaffold having also been referred to the visiting magistrates, they recommended a site, but that nothing should be done until a capital sentence had actually been passed. Sir J. PAKINGTON approved of the proposal for sleeping the prisoners on boards, but objected to defer action with respect to the treadwheel (which it was recommended should not be used again for associating prisoners on it) until the Legislature had settled the question of prison discipline. The Earl of DUDLEY explained that the object was to keep the separate system, and then went on to express his approval of the proposition of the visiting magistrates to defer erecting a scaffold until a capital sentence was actually passed—an event which h e hoped might be long deferred. He considered a public execution was nothing more than a public spectacle of a most demoralising tendency, and he added an opinion that the railway companies which helped this abominable s ystem for their own profit ought to be brought to a better sense of the duty which they owed to the public. It was true, as was stated, that the late Sir Joshua Jebb (who was known for his humane tendencies in the matter of prison discipline) recommended " hard fare, hard beds, and hard work" as the most serviceable means for the reformation of offenders, he thought they could not no better than adopt it. Ho (the Earl of Dudley) wou ld have every prisoner commence his imprisonment (for whatever term he might be sen tenced) w ith the severer treatment applied to pri soners for short terms. He would not propose to wait for that undefined period when the Legislature should have settled the general question of prison bat would suggest that they should pro• teed at once to employ such means as they had in their power for the suppression of crime. (Hear, bear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON replied to the remark of the no ble earl on the subject of capital punishments, and said he did not object to the recommendation that no steps should be taken for erecting a public scaffold until a capital sentence should have been passed, if, by deferring operations, there would still be left sufficient time should the emergency arise. Lord Dudley had expressed a hope that the time for using the scaffold would be long deferred. If by that remark he meant that no capital crime would be committed he hoped in the district, he (Sir John Pakington) heartily joined in the wish. But if he meant to express a hope that whatever crime WAS committed no capital punishment would follow, he (Sir John Pakington) could not agree with him. He was not prepared to express an opinion that when the life of a man was taken by the law that sentence should be carried out in private. On the contrary, he thought that so long as capital ptluii'.b tuelit was intlieled it should be and not in private. ca rried out IV The discussion then ceased. - - THE LATE COUNT D'ORNANO, tatirshai of F rance, senator, Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, and Gover nor of the Invatides.—The Emperor attended his deathhe,i, Just before his arrival the Archbishop of raris had admi nistered extreme unction to We sick man.

H. Ward, of Calton. Mr. Henniker by his conduct excited a strong feeling of indignation, which led on Sunday last to the results we are about to describe. A great number of persons assembled in and out of the chinch during the afternoon service, and greeted the rev. gentleman on his arrival with shouts and hisses. The service lasted about 15 minutes, during which several persons standing at the door shouted in the church, and we are informed several stones were thrown in also. At the conclusion of the service there was a great crowd out side the church waiting to give Mr. Henniker a " reception," but instead of coming out the way he was expected, he came out another way, after using some very harsh language to his clerk, calling him a fool and a liar. The crowd then followed Mr. Henniker down a by-road about 50 yards from the chutch, hissing and shouting, and we are told several clods were thrown at him. Here he made a rush at a group of persons, who all ran away, except a young man, a shoe maker, from Cheadle, whom he struck. The Rev. :B Henniker is not only the incumbent of Cauldon, but of the adjoining parish of Waterfall, both livings being in th 6 gift of his father, Mr. A. Henniker. He is quite a young man. For some time he has been in the habit of conduct ing the services at both churches in the most extraor dinary manner, generally dispensing with the Confession, the Absolution, the Thanksgiving, tho prayer for the Royal family, and many other prayers, and also with sing ing and preaching. Sometimes, however, a homily or a tract has taken the place of a sermon. Bat the strangest thing of all is that he has been in the habit, until some months ago, of reeling the Lessons from the Douai version of the Bible, and since he has given up this practice he has read unauthorised translations from scraps of paper. The service, curtailed in the way described, has generally been got through in 15 or 20 minutes. This course of conduct, coupled with his refusing early in the present year to bury a little child named Basset, who died of typhus fever, re sulted in an inquiry by the rural dean, the Rev. J. Simp son, of Alstenfield. The latter gentleman buried the child himself, after it had been in the church several days, in cluding Sunday, when the stench from the corpse filled the whole church. The result of the inquiry was that Mr. Henniker signed the declaration drawn up by Mr. Simpson, in which he promised to conduct the church services pro perly for the future. He, however, soon relapsed into his old way, with the exception that he did not commence read ing the Douai Bible, but read from scraps of paper as stated above. There can be no doubt that Mr. Henniker is liable to be proceeded against systematic gainstatee violationelesiastical law o t b h o e th or fo d r er re o f f u s s e in rv g ic to e bury, and laid down in the Book of Common Prayer. As yet the only proceedings that have been taken, so far as we can learn, are t hat a summons has been taken out against Mr. Hen niker by a young man named Joseph Richardson, for an assault alleged to have been committed in the churchyard on Sunday wetk.
