THE WAR. NAVAL AID MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. According to present arrangements the following ships of war proceed to Cherbourg to convey the French troops to the Baltic, viz., the Royal William, 120, Wa terloo, 120, St. Vincent, 102, Hannibal, 91, Algiers, 94 Powerful, 84, Calcutta, 84. and Formidable, 84. Yesterday the Russian prize Union, taken by her Majesty's cruisers off Gothland, arrived off Gravesend in charge of Mr. Hancock. Yesterday intelligence was received at Lloyd's that the Hannah Maria, taken by her Majesty's ship Daunt less, had arrived off Orfordness from the Baltic. The Dauntless, 33 guns, Captain Alfred P. Ryder, slipped from her moorings in Sheerness harbour yes terday at 8.30 a.m., and proceeded for the Baltic. The following officers left the Waterloo by the Daunt less yesterday :—Lieutenant the Hon. F, Fitzmaurice, for the Bulldog ; Lieutenant J. L. Perry, for the Duke of Wellington ; the Rev. J. J. Ballione, chaplain to the Leopard ; Captain of Marines Robert Harrison, to the imperieuse, vice Stransham, promoted. Shipwrights and joiners from Sheerness yard are busily engaged in fitting the Hannibal, 91, in a most convenient manner for the reception of French troops. Her lower gun-deck is to be entirely appropriated to their use, and convenient temporary battened store rooms are being fitted up in the after cockpit and where ever space will adroit for the stowage of arms, baggage, &c. She is to be quite ready to leave by Saturday next. She is still short of able seamen. She has taken in a full supply of coals. Her present crew are on every op portunity put to great gun, musket, and cutlass drill, and make very great progress. Her landsmen and or dinary seamen, although not fully up to their work at present, bid fair, under the instructions and discipline of their officers, to be able in a short time to do their duty well. The Formidable, 84 guns, Captain Superintendent John J. Tucker at present in command, is ordered to be rigged all ataunt with all possible despatch, and to be fitted to receive troops like the Hannibal. A gang of 40 riggers commenced yesterday morning on her, under the superintendence of Mr. Jonathan Aylen, master-attendant, and by this evening she will be fully rigged with all her running gear rove ready for bending sails. She will be ready for going out of Sheerness basin by the present spring tides. The marines and seamen of this ship are busily employed in forwarding her outfit, under the directions of Commander Josiah Thompson. She also proceeds to Cherbourg to em bark French troops for the Baltic. Captain the Hon. Frederick W. Gray will hoist his commodore's broad pendant in command of the Chan nel squadron now fitting out as an auxiliary squadron of reserve. The Royal Albert is being forwarded in her equip ment by her seamen, dranghted from the Waterloo, and marines, the latter proving themselves most useful. Mr. George M. Lang, Paymaster, took up his com mission to th e D evons hi re , third rate, receiving ship for joined. Commander p r i soners o f war, yesterday, and has Commander Vincent A. Massingberd (23d of Dec., 1842) took np his commission at Sheerness yesterday to the Neptune, 120, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Corry in the Baltic. Commander Massingberd is from Gos port, where he has served as Inspecting-Commander of the Coast Guard since the 15th of January, 1852 ; he is now borne as a supernumerary on board the Waterloo flag-ship, waiting a passage by the Hannibal, 91. The Algiers, 91, Captain Charles Talbot, arrived at the Great More at 7.50 a.m. yesterday from Devonnort, and at 5.30 p.m. proceeded under steam power, • into harbour. The following appointments and promotions have been made : Captain Hon. Frederick William Grey (1828), at present commanding the Hannibal, 91, screw steam-ship at Sheerness, is promoted to be Commodore of the 2d class, and re-appointed to command the Hannibal, for service with the Baltic fleet. Paymasters.—William Drury (1842), from the Hogue, 60, screw steam-ship, serving in the Baltic, to the Cal cutta, 84, at Devonpart ; William H. Reeves (1844), from the Eurya.lus, 51, screw steam-frigate to the Hogue, vice Drury ; George Ramadan (1816), to the Euryalus, vice Reeves. Clerk in Charge John Mumford (1848), from the Fis gard flag-ship at Woolwich, to the Jackal steam-vessel, at Woolwich. Clerk John M. Jefferson (Paymaster of 1854), to the Fisgard, vice Mumford. The Camperdown hired transport has been ordered round to Queenstown to embark the head-quarters, band, and colours of the Ist division of the 12th Foot for Mel bourne. The Flora transport has been taken up for the convey ance of detachments of the 77th and 26th Regiments of Foot to Queb ec . Th ey w ill em b ark at Cork. The Syra hired transport has been ordered round to Plymouth to embark provisions and stores for the Black Sea. Captain Smythe's company, 6th battalion of Royal Artillery, arrived in Woolwich garrison on Saturday last, from Limerick. Captain Oldfield's company, 4th battalion, joined the camp on Woolwich-common on Saturday last. Captain Elliott's company disembarked on Sunday morning at the Royal Arsenal, having been brought round from Devonport in one of the Dublin steamers to join head-quarters at Woolwich. Captain Marriott's company, 3d battalion, embarked at Roff's-wharf, Woolwich, on Monday, at 6 a.m., for Shoeburyness to relieve Major Young's company, 12th battalion, and the latter company arrived in the garri son in the afternoon, where they are to go through a course of repository instruction previous to proceeding on foreign service. One lieutenant, three non-commissioned officers, one farrier, and 25 gunners left Woolwich on Tuesday morn ing for London to take char g e of 50 horses br oug ht f rom Scotland by one o f th e Leith steamers, and bring them to Woolwich for service in the field batteries. The head-quarters, Land, and two companies of the 94th Regiment have arrived from the East Indies. They landed at Gravesend, proceeded by the North Kent Rail way to Strood, and marched thence to St. Mary's Case mate barracks, Chatham. The 21st and 63d Regiments being both placed under orders for war service, the garrison of Dublin will be shortly reduced to one regiment of infantry (the 90th) and one of cavalry (the Sri Dragoon Guards). Under such circumstances, and if it be intended to keep the spacious barracks in that city from falling into ruins, it is probable that the question of draughting some of the English militia to do duty in Ireland will again force itself upon the notice of the authorities at the Horse Guards. The 35th Regiment of Foot, Colonel Frazer, under orders for India, will all embark this month from Graves end, the first division forthwith, the second on the 14th instant, and the third on the 31st instant. THE MILITIA. The Devon Militia Artillery have been reviewed and discharged, after 28 days' training and exercise at Devon port. The men number between 300 and 400, and are draughted out of the let Devon and South Devon Regi ments of Militia. The 4th West York Militia will assemble this (Wed nesday) mornin g for training at th e cava l r y b arrac k s, Leeds, the 34th having proceeded to Plymouth to make room for them. The Halifax squadron of the regiment has been engaged in ball practice for the last few days, and prizes have been awarded to the best marksmen. A volunteer Rifle corps for the county of Middlesex is in course of formation. The regiment will be known as "The Victoria Rifles." Mr. W. T. Pritchard, of Doc tors'-commons, has accepted the office of honorary secre tary to the corps. The following address was delivered by Lady Marian Alford, on presenting the new colours to the Royal South Lincoln Militia, in B:lton-park, on Wednesday last :—" Gentlemen of the South Lincoln Militia, — Your gallant colonel has intrusted to my hand the honour of presenting to you the new colours for your regiment. May th e i r now spotless folds never be stained but by s ummer showers, nor faded but by sunshine, and may they long float like the rainbow—a guarantee of peace in the land. But should an enemy venture on our shores, and should You be called upon to fight for your hearths and your homes, lam sure, from the spirit you have shown, that, led by your allan t colonel, you will follow your colours with loyal enthusiasm and bring them back with hon our .

As we have once or twice said, let them be consistent ; let them propose a law, making it sacrilege ever to " dese crate" the site of a church. Then we shall, at least, understand where we are. But, at present, this is neither the law nor the practice. Within the last year or two the church of St. Benet Fink has disappeared. A little before this, the church of St. Bartholomew by the Exchange was removed, and on its site was built the Sun Fire Office. In Fleet-street, the site of the former church of St. Dunstan in the West now forms part of the street, and the new church stands on the site where formerly stood some cham bers in Clifford's-inn. Such is the present state of the law ; and such is the progress of church-removal. But each of these removals costs a separate act of Parlia ment. What the present measure aims to do is, to give, in one act, the power which will otherwise have to be obtained in a dozen or twenty more local acts. To get those many bills through Parliament will waste much precious time, and will cost as much money as would build four churches ! Surely it is common sense to provide for the whole case by one sufficient measure ; and not to waste time and money on piecemeal legis lation. Now, as to the general merits of the present bill. These may be judged of by a single case. A dozen years ago there stood, close by the Bank, the church of St. Bartholomew. On no Sunday morning had it so many as 50 persons within its walls. Just be hind the Bank, distant not 100 yards from St. Bartho lomew's Church, stood the church of St. Margaret, Lothbury. The corporation found it needful to widen Bartholomew-lane, and they asked the bishop to con sent to the removal of the church., His lordship merely stipulated that removing that church from a place where it was not wanted, the corporation should rebuild it in a place where it was wanted. In Cripplegate parish, not half a mile distant, there was but one church among 14,000 people. The church of St. Bartholomew by the Exchange was pulled down, and a new church of St. Bartholomew was built in Moor-lane. The handful of people who had assembled in the church by the bank were transferred to St. Margaret's, distant only a few yards. The Church of England lost nothing, not an iota, on the one hand ; but she gained a good and spa cious new church, with a congregation, on the other. Thus it was all gain, and no loss. Now what was done is this one instance may be done in a dozen others. At least a dozen churches now not visited by 50 people each on the Sunday might be taken down, and those little congregations transferred to other churches close at hand ; and with the sums obtained from the sale of their sites a dozen new churches, hold ing 1,000 persons each, with endowments for their ministers, in the suburban parishes, might be raised in the course of the next seven years. Here, too, it would be all gain, and no loss. The church in the City would be stronger, not weaker ; it would have lost merely a stigma and a disgrace. But the church in the suburbs would have gained twelve new churches, twelve new clergymen, twelv e new congregat i ons ; and all this by means of funds provided by clearing away what, in the City, is an actual source of weakness and of disgrace. But, aware that the facts of the case are quite against them, the Tractarians call in the aid of a little popular prejudice. First, they set up a howl about "disturbing the ashes of the dead." But here, too, there is no other safe course but that of appealing to facts. When St. Bartholomew's Church was removed, was violence dune to "the ashes of the dead ?" When St. Dunstan's Church was removed, with vathts, burying-ground, and tombs, what outrage was committed ? None whatever. A large brick vault was first prepared., into which every coffin, and every yes+ ige of human remains, were care• fully removed. And only when this had been done was the site excavated for the new buildings. _ _ But, again we repeat- -what is proposed to be done, will be done, either by piecemeal, by single local im• provements, or by one well-considered and combined measure, directed by the ecclesiastical authorites. Surely the latter is the most expedient plan. Another cry is attempted to be raised, of the bud ship of refusing the parishioners any voice in the matter. But this charge is untrue. The parishioners will have abundant opportunities of making their voice heard ; but they will not have an absolute veto. This the law, as it now stands, does not give them. The present bill establishes no new principle ; it merely follows in the footsteps of previous legislati ,n. Against this demand, that the inhabitants should have a veto, there are obvious objections. The very groand of the whole proceeding is the notorious fact, that ; in various parishes in the City, of real resident inhabitants there are scarcely any. To make the consent of the in habitants necessary, would be practically to give to six or eight individuals the power of pronouncing a veto on the proposal to remove their church. Now, who will say that a little knot of persons like this, finding tiat the absolute power of stopping the whole plan was de posited in their hands, might not sometimes abuse that power, and refuse to give their consent, except upon some grossly unjust terms ? Hence the veto is not lodged with them ; but should any parishioners ever feel aggrieved at the proposed removal of their church, they will have abundant opportunity of lodging their objec tions, and of gaining for them the fullest hearing. Still, although the merits of the bill are very great, we know what may be done by the vehement and un scrupulous opposition of a party. We saw, about two months since, the same little knot of persons, who are now opposing this bill, succeed in throwing out the bill applied for by the rector of Stoke Newington to enable him to rebuild his parish church. A rector was actually refused permission to rebuild his own church ? The reason alleged was, that he proposed to establish pew rents. But the true reason was, that the Tractarians feared that a good parish church would injure the prospects of a voluntary church of their own, a sort of " St. Barnabas," which they had there established. Rather than their own chapel should find its attendants lessened they would refuse to the rector of the parish the right of rebuilding his own church. But what is now heard ? That the very man whom they thus set up as a rival and an opponent to the rector of the parish, has just seceded to Rome! And are these the persons who ought to lead the House of Commons on matters of church policy ?-- 11forning Herald. THE ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL INQUIRY. We now give the continuation from our first edition of yesterday of the evidence adduced at the adjourned inquiry held at the Sheriff's Court, Red Lion-square, as to the death of the child Alfred Richardson. Mr. William Coulson.—l reside in Frederick-place, Old Jewry. lam a surgeon. On the 16th of last May I made a post modern examination of the body of the child by order of Mr. Wakley, the coroner. The bladder was gone, and I could form no opinion as to the cause of death from that examination. (The witness here exhi bited the forceps, the staff, sound, and other instruments used in an operation fer lithotomy, and explained the process of the operation.) Either of the three stages of the operations fur lithotomy may be performed in a short space of time when there is no casualty. By Mr. Clarkson.—Since I have written my book I have known of five cases where the knife has missed the bladder and gone between the bladder and the rectum, and two of them were operations performed by very skilful men. In introducing the finger, I have myself been in doubt whether I had entered the bladder or not. These, I believe, are casualties among skilful men which frequently occur. I should be sorry to impute in efficiency or neglect from such a cause. I have per formed the operation myself in two minutes, and I have had a patient on the table for more than an hour. Except in casualties, the operation for stone is a very successful operation up to the age of 22. By Mr. Ballantine—l have given my evidence to a gentleman from Mr. Steele's office. lam an old ac quaintance of Mr. Wakley's, and he publishes my lec tures. I have performed very nearly 100 operations for lithotomy, and such a mistake as this never happened to me. I can't say how long I might be before I discovered I had not entered the bladder. I don't think that I have exceeded five minutes in performing the operation in the case of a child. A patient's life may be risked by not having all the instruments required for an operation at hand. Mr. Frederick Carpenter Skey examined—l reside in Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square. I have been sur geon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital for 28 years, and am well acquainted with the operation of lithotomy. It is the duty of a surgeon or his responsible officer to see that the bowels of a patient are opened before such an operation. If I have a house-surgeon or dresser who knows my practice. I do not think it necessary to scrutinise every instrument laid upon the table for an operation. I differ very much from Mr. Coulson in this matter. The point in which I differ from Mr. Coulson is in what he calls casualty. What I call a casualty is in the exhibition by a patient of a large prostrate gland, or the stone breaking, or a very large stone. I should not call making a blunder in the way we have heard has occurred in this case a casualty. Mr. Bailantine—Do you consider that to be an acci dent such as may occur to a skilful operator. Mr. Skey— Certainly not. I have never seen such an accident occur to skilful surgeons. If it had, I don't think a skilful surgeon would be long in finding it out. I should not think much of a person who had only ope rated from 10 to 20 times making such a mistake, and slipping the knife out of the groove. I cannot help saying, with great regret, I think in this case there was a decided want of judgment in keeping the child upon the table for an hour and a. half, or it would have been so even at the end of an hour. Thu question of stone in the bladder ought to be merged in the safety of the child, and it ought to have been taken earlier from the table. Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Wilkins--I have been in practice as a surgeon since 1822. I had been about four years in my profession before I performed an operation for lithotomy. I once cut a child for stone with without fi n di ng a stone in the bl a dd e r. It is an event that h as occurred to many. I don ' t th i n k I diff er muc h cyAaid na,m medical s b re th ren . n ß a i .. v fi e el Steele aad eras am a then s ol i s c w i t o o r r n . reside i de con cerned 1, m Lri m n. for Mr. Cooke., in this case. It appears from Mr. Evans' bill of costs that he received 100/, from me, and I paid him that money. It was my 019 h money. On Thurs day, the 11th of May last, Mr. Cooke called upon me whille I was examining a witness before the examiner of the Rolls Court, and said he wished to see me about a child which bad died after an operation in the Royal Free Hospital. He said he thought an action would be commenced against him, and I asked him to give me the name of the attorney. He gave me the name of Mr. Evans, of Gray's-inn. I called and saw Mr. Evans, and asked him what the matter was about, and he told me, and said he had applied for an inquest, and that Mr. Wakley bad consented to hold one, and that an order had been issued to exhume the body of the child. He said he was acting under the advice of some pleader, and that he had told him of some disturbance which had recently taken place about Mr. Gay, who had been one of the surgeons of the Royal Free Hospital, and it would be better for the hospital, whatever might be the result of the case, that Mr. Gay should not get hold of the facts relating to the death of the child. I asked Mr. Evans, by way of suggestion, whether he did not think his clients would agree to submit the matter to arbitra tion, as I was a governor and took great interest in the hospital. I agreed fully with Mr. Evans that an inquiry of such a character would tend to the injury of the esta blishment. Mr. Evans promised to see the mother of the child on the subject ; but he previously suggested that the parents would be entitled to maintain an action for the loss of their child under Lord Camp bell's Act. On Friday, the 12th, I saw Mr. Evans again, and he told me be had not seen either the father or mother, but he had sent to the mother, and expected her there every instant, and almost as he said those words the mother came Mr. Evans wished me to see her alone. I declined to see her at all, and requested. him to confer with his own client. He then saw her, while I went into the clerks' room. Mr. Evans in about five minutes came and said she refused the arbitration, and in such a manner that he thought I had better see her. I then saw her in presence of Mr. Evans, and urged upon her to agree to the arbitration, adding that I was quite sure everybody connected with the hospital would do what was right, and I was quite sure that all the surgeons, and even the committee, would join in the reference. I told her there were always two sides to a question, and that whatever might be the result of a pub lic inquiry it would be injurious to the hospital. She said she only wanted to ascertain what were the facts as to the death of her child, but expressed herself unwilling to agree to the arbitration, and said she would see her husband on the •subject. I told her to tell her husband that the inquiry might be as ex tensive as he liked,, as well as the powers of the arbitrator, and that he should have the power also of dismissing any officer he liked, and to give the parents compensation under Lord Campbell's Act. I told her they might appoint the arbitrator so as they would appoint an impartial person ; that the arbitrator might be a barrister or a medical man, or both, if the parents liked. The mother said compensation was not her object. Some one called upon her, and offered to repay the expenses she had been at, and she would not take either a hatful or a roomful of gold. I called the next morning to know the result of the interview with Mr. Evans and the father of the child, but he was not at home, and Mr. Evans came to me at the Rolls Court, and handed me a paper, saying the arbitration was de clined. On Tuesday, the 16th, Mr. Evans called upon me and told me that he had obtained medical evidence respecting the case, that he was perfectly satisfied he could make nothing of the inquest except for the purpose of information to found an action under Lord Camp bell's Act. He had seen the parents, and the parents wish to settle the matter, "if you will pay a sum of money." I said it was an unpleasant position for me to put to my client, and it was a matter upon which I must act upon my own discretion one way or the other ; that I felt as much for the hospital as my client, and pro bably I should do more than my client would. I said, if I mentioned it to him, or it was thought for a moment my client gave any money, it might prejudice him as a medical man. I told Mr. Evans, as I felt I must in such a case act upon my own responsibility I requested a few minutes' time to consider. Mr. Evans said he would not act himself without a written consent from the father, and he would go into Holborn and get it, while I considered what I could do. He said his own expenses were very heavy indeed, but did not name the amount of them. He had paid expenses out of pocket, and he would take 1001. for compensation and expenses. Mr. Evans went away for about 20 minutes, and then came back with the authority signed by the father, stat ing he was satisfied with the medical evidence, and wished to withdraw the inquest. I then asked him if there were any parties in the background through whom the matter might gain publicity, as it was simply pub licity I wished to prevent He assured me positively that there was not, and I then offered him 501. and 501. a month hence, in order to insure that this matter should not be made a subject of public discussion in the newspapers. He assured me that there was no chance of the circumstance getting into the public press, and declined my proposition to receive the money in two sums of 50/. and agreed that if I gave him the 1001. and the matter became public in any way, he would return me the money. (Laughter, in which the bar joined.) I gave him the 1001. by check, which I produced. It was not crossed by me. By the Coroner—l never consulted Mr. Cooke, either directly or indirectly, as to the payment of this 1001. Mr. Evans wished me to send the father of the child's withdrawal of the inquest to Mr. Wakley, but 1 re fused to do so, and I told Mr. Evans to do it himself. I had no communication, either directly or indirectly, with the Mr. Wakleys. Neither of the Mr. Wakleys knew anything of the matter, as far as* I am aware of. By Mr. Ballantine—My impression is, that 1 should not have settled the question had Evans not produced the father's letter. I paid the money to prevent the publicity of an inquest, knowing that under any circum stances it would be injurious to the hospital and Mr. Cooke. Ido not look to any one for the 1001. I have paid. I have made no claim upon any one, and may not get a penny of it back again. I think the governors ought to pay the 1001., but if they are shabby enough not to do so, I shall not ask them a second time. I have looked over Evans's bill of costs, and have no hesita tion in saying that it is twice as much as it ought to he. Mr. Ballantine said, so far as his case was concerned, he had called all the witnesses ho considered neces sary to the inquiry. Mr. Evans had written him a letter, saying he was obliged to be out of town on the previous day, but why he was absent then he could not tell. He shbuld certainly have liked him to be examined. He did not know whether his learned friends proposed to call any witnesses. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins said he did not intend to call any witnesses ' • but, at the same time, if the jury wished to call or Mr. Ballantine wished to call his client, Mr. Wakley, jun., he was prepared to give the fullest ex planation. Mr. Parry said, that Mr. Wakley, as a public man and a judge, bad had his character publicly assailed, and therefore, with that straightforwardness of character which bad distinguished him through life, he tendered himself as a witness before that jury, to state everything he knew concerning the matter. At the same time, he disputed the right of the jury legally to enter into any other question than the circumstances relating to the death of this child. Consulerable discussion ensued upon this point, and the jury, having been appealed to as to whether they wished any other witnesses to be called, consulted to gether, and the foreman announced that it was the opi nion of the jury that Mr. Evans should be examined after the evidence given by Mr. Steele. Mr. Evans was again called, and not answering, he was ordered to be summoned for Friday next, to which day the investigation was again adjourned. INAUGURATION OF THE RAILWAY PROM ANTWERP TO ROTTERDAM. ) Railway opening of the took D placeutc B o e n l gi a n ( Monday n A d . a n y t wl last. andßo Among t ttheroTdshaemewho took part in the ceremony were the represen tatives of the Governments of Belgium and Holland , the b ur gomaster and principal officials of Antwerp , M r . Samuel Laing, M•p Sir Joseph Paxton , Messrs. Jas. Aswell and Georg e Withes, Mr. Gehoul , with other gentlemen. At ni ne o ' clock in the mor ning a special train left the within stati on at Brusse l s , a nd conveyed a nume rous company (including many of the principal share holders) to Roozendael, a town of some importance, and the place fixed upon for t h e i na uguration. There Bel gium was officially re ceived by Holland , Mr. Borst , governor of N orth Bra b an t, the appointed representative of the King o f H ollan d , o ff er i n g his congratulation to the Minister of P u bli c Wor k s an d those who surrounded him. The station was ornamented with a number of flags , one bearing th e i nscript i on , " Railways 'are the principal cause of u n it y b etween na tions." A very cordial under standing s eemed to ex i s t between the two populations, and the count r y peo ple hailed the opening of the line with enthu s i asm. Th e Dutch bands played the hymn of the B e l gian Revolution, an d the Belgians the national songs of th e N et h er l an ds. The c ompany hav i ng traversed the line, returned to Antwerp, wh ere th e banquet was provided, covers being laid for 125, Mr. Laing occupy in g the mid ile of the table, s u p porte d b y M r . Teichman and Mr. Noel. After the din ner, Mr. GEIIOI7I. rose to propose the first toast, " Leopold the First of the Belgians, and William the Third of the Netherlands." He said the undertaking which they had met to inaugurate would be the means of opening ne w relations between Belgium and the Netherlands, draw closer the ties between the two nations, and afford a rapid and economical system of communication with the west of Europe. The toast was received amidst much applause. The minister of the Netherlands, in proposing pros perity to the Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway, said, there was a gentleman connected with the company who held an eminent position in a neighbouring country, who devoted all his time and intelligence to the accomplish ment of those great undertakings which develop the ge nius and prosperity of nations—he meant Mr. Laing, the hon. President of the Crystal Palace, Sydenham. (Cheers.) He would not allow the opportunity to escape without thanking that gentleman for his hospitality, dis played to some artists who represented their country at the recent Exhibition presided over by the Queen of England, and would add to the toast the health of Mr. Laing, and success to the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. The toast was cordially responded to. Several other toasts concluded the ceremony. _ The line is ooustructed in a most substantial manner, and the various stations present a very elegant appear ance; the rolling stock is also of a superior description, and credit is awarded to the directors for having opened the line many months previous to the time mentioned at the formation of the company. With regard to the time occupied in performing the distance between Antwerp and Rotterdam with the por tion of the line now opened, it is calculated the journey will be performed in four hours, whilst under the old system it took from 9 to 10 hours. FREE TRADE FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. Last evening, a general meeting of members of the Free Trade Freehold Land Society was held at the Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen-street, in pursuance of a requisition presented to the executive committee, to consider and de ten-nine certain proposed alterations in and additions to the rules of the society, and also to create one hundred rights of choice, fifty from the ballot division, and fifty from the seniority list, Among the gentlemen present on the occasion, wve ob served—Lieut.-Col. Dickson, one of the trustees of the society ; Henry Canney, Esq. ; W. Dickinson, Esq. ; J. Gate, Esq.; Joseph Gimson, Esq. ; Jenkin Jones, Esq. ; Thomas C. Unwin, Esq. ; Tyndale, Esq. ; F. West, Esq. ; 'Tigers, Esq. ; Elioart, Esq. ; Astbury, Esq , and many other highly influential gentlemen and a large number of shareholders. Shortly after seven o'clock, the chair, on the motion of T. C. LTNwiN, Esq., seconded by W. DICKINSON, Esq., was taken by Lieut.-Col. Dickson. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the even ing, said he would call upon the secretary to read the notice of the meeting, after which they would proceed to the consideration of the additions and alterations proposed to be made to the rules of the society. The SECRETARY having rea d th e notice convening the meeting, was about to read the alterations, when The CHAIRMAN said, as the rea di ng th e alterations would necessarily take up much valuable time, and as they were in the hands of the members, he suggested they s h ou ld b e taken as read, as they would be taken separately. This having been agreed to, Rules 2 and 3 were then, after a short discussion, agreed to. - Mr. DICKINSON then moved the following be substituted for Rule 4 :—Every member, on receiving an advance from the society's funds shall pay, in addition to his subscrip tions, quarterly, the sum of ls. per share for each share advanced, as a contribution towards the cost of manage ment and other expenses of the society, until the amount advanced shall have been wholly repaid ; and in case of non-payment, the sum may be deducted from the first subsequent payment of the member for his subscription on his share. All sums paid as quarterage on unadvan ce d shares prior to the alterations taking efect, to be trans ferred to the credit of members' subscriptions. Mr. CANNEY said, it gave him much pleasure in second ing the proposition of Mr. Dickinson. In answer to questions put by some of the shareholders; The SECRETARY said, the effect of passing the alteration proposed would be to entirely abolish the quarterage fees, except on shares advanced. (Cheers.) The CnAinmAN then put the, motion to the meeting, and declared it carried unanimously. A SHAREHOLDER then moved that the following amend ment be made to Rule 11, with respect to withdrawals : " If the withdrawal be made within six months, the fine be 2s. per share; exceeding six months, and not exceeding twelve months, ls.—after which time no fine shall be pay able ; but the executive committee shall have full power from time to time to alter the amount of withdrawal fine." Mr. CANNEY said he did not approve of the whole of the amendment proposed, especially the latter portion. He, therefore, should move that the words " but the exe cutive committee shall have full power from time to time to alter the amount of the withdrawal fine," be expunged. The rule as proposed by Mr. Canney was then put by the Chairman, and declared carried unanimously. Mr. ELIOART then moved an amendment to Rule 22, respecting the quorum of the executive committee, which was adopted. _ A. short discussion then took place upon the motion of Mr. Tyndale, to reject the: 23d Rule, respecting the num ber and election of the members of the executive committee who retire annually. Mr. J. JONES thought the proposed new rule a good one. Mr. CANNEY said, as great unanimity prevailed in the executive committee, he thought it would be as well if one half of them were to retire annually, but to be eligible for re-election. He begged to move an amendment to that effect. Mr. J. JONES said he did not altogether approve of the amendment; yet, as a member of the executive committee, he begged to second the motion of ➢Zr. Canney. Ile thought that, by so doing, he should give the best proof possible of the unanimity that prevailed in that committee. He thought the motion . of Mr. Tyndale would not have the effect that gentleman desired. The motion of Mr. Canney was then put from the chair, and was rejected; and the rule, after an explanation by the solicitor (Mr. West), of the form of voting papers to be adopted, was agreed to, as were some others. Mr. DICKINSON then moved that the following be sub stituted for rule 32 :—That if any member of the execu tive committee, trustee, or auditor shall resign or shall become bankrupt, insolvent, or insane, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of his creditors, or shall have any judgment or execution against him, his estate or ef fects, or shall be or become a member of any committee or managing body, or a trustee of any similar society, he shall thereupon cease to be such member of the executive committee, trustee, or auditor, as the case may be, of this society; or when, in the opinion of a majority of the general committee, present at a special meeting called for the purpose, any member of the executive committee, trustee, auditor, or other officer of the society shall be guilty of neglect or improper conduct, such general com mittee shall have the power at once to remove him from office. TMhre. GATE CHAIRMAN begged th t e o n second put it to h e t he proposal meeting, and declared it carried unanimously. The various other alterations having been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN said they had now come to the more pleasing portion of the proceedings of the evening, namely, the ballot. (Cheers.) But before going to that part of the business, he wished to ask if any gentleman had any questions to put, as the officers of the society were present ? A SHAREHOLDER wished to know whether the Free Trade Freehold Land Society had become a building so ciety ? Mr. WEST, the solicitor, said, by act of Parliament all societies were registered as building societies, though in fact they were freehold land societies. Various questions having been put relative to the Cam berwell and Anerley estates, and answered by the solicitor and surveyor, The scrutineers were then appointed, and the ballot wheel was given into their custody. The seals having been verified anti removed, the following numbers were drawn : -*420, *657, "3163, 2615, 2466, 780. 1873, 3096, 1731, 475, 1866, 3053, 2574, "502, *5BO, 1946, 1197, 1413, 1878, 1348, 2653. 873, *5Ol, *194, *258, 2729, 2279, *1738, "1739, *lO7B, *1079, *lOBO, *740, *824, *877, 2964, *225, *340, 30q, 1507, 1544, 2.t47, 1942, 1938, 2145, *512, *640, 1911, 2369, 2538. -Those marked * are grouped. A vote of thanks having been awarded the chairman, Lieut.-Colonel DICKSON begged leave to thank the meet ing for the compliment paid him. He assured them all that it gave him great pleasure to meet them at meetings such as the present. His services were always at their command. (Cheers.) It was always with pleasure that he assisted at anything calculated to promote the prosperity and further the interests of the Free Trade Freehold Laud Society. (Loud cheers.) The proceedings, which gave much satisfaction, then terminated. THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.
