There were several of these unfortunate shareholders holding allotments of land in court, and who had come there under the im pression that a " dividend" was to be declared. There were also on the benches behind counsel steverat of the disciples of " the six points of the Charter" Preseht. The meeting was the result of an adjournment from 4th September, when Mtssrs. Hutton, Goodchgp, Quitt er , Harding, E rnest, T urquand, Croysdill, Grey, Price, Fellows, Norris, and Ainger, gentlemen of eminence as accountants, were proposed, and their respective qualifications for the office canvassed, and at the close of the proceedings it was discovered that by far the greater number of the signatures of shareholders, in number 2,100, representing 7,520 shares, in favour of Mr. Ainger, the nominee of the directors of the land company, were not genuine signatures, the majority,. of them being in one uniform handwriting. Upon this the Master adjourned the proceeding s until res. terday, in order that the parties implicated m'.ght make affidavits in explanation of the unacnountetble occurrence. The following counsel appeared on behalf of the several candidates :—Mr. Roxburgh, Mr. James, Ai r . Chichester, Mr. Sweet, Mr. lie Gex, Mr. Rogers, Mr, A. Hill, Mr. Reid, and a large numbest. of go. licitors. Mr. Sweet, in explanation of the alleged discre pancy, as counsel for Mr. Ainger, read some volumi nous affidavits which entered into the matter wit/, s great circumstantiality. The affidavit of Mr. G. V Chinery, solicitor, of Robert-street, Adelphi, sgen o f Mr. W. P. Roberts, of Manchester, the solicitor t.o ehe National Land Company, set forth that all the lists of proposals for the appointment of Mr. Alfred .Ainger were received through the post-office from the several secretaries connected with the local branches cf the Na tional Land Company in different parte of th a country, sent to the late Land Office in London to one of the late directors. The genuineness of the signatures was relied upon, nor was it noticed at the time that, many different names were written in the same hand, writing. Since last meeting affidavits have beers ob-, tained from the secretaries of the branches in L an .. cashire, Cheshire, and other places, explainin g her p the signatures were obtained, and vouching for tbei r genuineness, but admitting that many of the IlarlDA3 3 Were written " for" the shareholders, but by their au _ thority. The affidavit of Mr. W. P. Robeats, nce L e read, represented that he was appointed solicitor. , t o the whole body of shareholders, and was not, as t ad been alleged, private solicitor to Mr. O'Connor, 1 . n d that he is concerned as attorney on behalf of a is rge number of persons holding shores, who have not k ,een located on any of the lands of the company, and, ' who would be entitled to receive a dividend out of the surplus assets in respect of their shares. That h 8 ad_ vised the application to Parliament, and procure d the Act of Parliament on behalf of the credit°. es an d shareholders for windin g u p th e company, a Li d not for the benefit of Mr. O'Connor or the di' vctors. Had received no money fr o m M r . Cr Connor or the directors for the expenses, but had spent between 2001. and 3001. for Parl'i smentary fees, exclusive of his own professional chaef ;es, Be lieved that before the Act passed in the . House of Lords, Mr. O'Connor left England for the ( continent, and believed that a letter bad been received . from ha with the post-office mark of " Leghorn." Was cs not aware that Mr. O'Connor knew that the Act had passed, or that an order bad been obtainee. by the de ponent for winding up the company, a t ;bough the order had been obtained by deponent n c , minally for him, the name of Mr. O'Connor being Prominently mentioned in the Act as the party to obtain such winding up, nor did Mr. O'Connor, deponent verily believed, know of the proposal of Mr. Ainger to act as official manager to the company." The irregularit7 in the signatures had arisen in coneequence of V e le shareholders being illiterate persona and unable to write their own names. Deponent was not connected, with one T. M. Wheeler, formerly secretary to th company. A number of ;affidavits speaking to the same points were also read from the secretaries of th e late branches in the provinces, including one from the " O'Connor brigade branch" at Preston. Mr. James observed that from the tenor the proceedings had taken, it would be seen :tare - wile manifest connexion between Mr. Roberts, Mr. 'aeon nor, Mr. Chinery, a-id Mr. Ainger, independent of the point of the fictitiousness of the signatures. Mr. Roxburgh complained that, since the last meeting, a circular, signed by Mr. Roberts, had been sent "to the shareholders of the Nationn.l Land Com pany" calling on them to support Mr. Ainger, nod recommending, where the parties could not write, to make the sign of the cross thus—" The mark of John Noakes."—(Laughter.) Mr. James contended that the manner in w , hieh the order to wind up, from the court, had been ob tained, was altogether anomalous. The petition was presented by the solicitor of the company as the pe tition of Mr. O'Connor; the same solicitor, in his affidavit that had been read to the court, asserting he " was not aware that Mr. O'Connor knew that an. order to wind up had been obtained." Mr. Roberts had not only been soliciter, but treasurer to the com pany, had been party to all its illegal tfansactions, and now had a large claim against it. He was also one of the accounting parties. The deed was signed by 25,000 persons, for which Mr. Roberts charged 2,5001. His Honour the MASTER said he was of opinion that, under the circumstances, a grave question might arise as to the mode in which the order had been ob• tained from the Court. There might be ground for supposing it bad been obtained improperly, and if so, he should feel it his duty to suspend all further pro ceedings until the transaction way reviewed by a su perior court. He wished to know how Mr. Roberta came to present the petition to the Court of Chancery in Mr. O'Connor's name ? Mr. Sweet ri.plied that it was necessary toAse Mr. O'Connor's name in all the transactions of the com pany. In all the land affairs Mr. O'Connor was the recognised agent. Since the last meting 1,900 addi tional signatures had been obtained for Mr. Ainger. It was desirable in winding up the affairs of this un fortunate company to obtain as large a dividend as possible for the shareholders, and he believed that none of the candidates were better able to effect this than Mr. Ainger, who in another instance had realised a profit of 5,0001. for the shareholders. The MASTER—Does he hold out any such hope with reference to the estate of the National Land Company ?—(Laughter.) Mr. James submitted that should it turn out Mr. Roberts had presented the petition in the name of Mr. O'Connor without his authority he ought to be struck off the rolls. In the additional signatures for Mr. Ainger many were included in the old Nst. The MASTER thought it quite possible that Mr. O'Connor, who had apparently been the prime mover in the application to the Court, might, on his return, move the Court to set aside the order, on the ground that he was no party to it. Any official manager be, the Master, might appoint would act, so to speak, as his delegate, and the first tbing he should direct him to do would be to draw out a full explanatory report of the state of the company's affaits. Mr. James; on behalf of Mr. Price, another of the candidates, denied that that gentleman had any con nexion with Mr. O'Connor. The fact was, as op. peared from the evidence given before the House of Commons, that Mr. Roberts was not only solicitor, but treasurer, and bad violated the provisions of the deed of settlement he himself drew out. Mr. Roberta was held out to the world as treasurer, though tir. O'Connor in reality got all the money; and it wal l Mr. Roberts who, through his agent, Mr. Chinery, was now putting forward Mr. Ainger. The recom mendations from Mr. Price were from 2,403 share holders, representing 7,956 shares. The fictitious signatures appeared to have been procured in " batches," and one of the affidavits stated that " ales and spirituous liquors" had been dispensed to obtain them, which the deponents submitted, if not a con tempt and contrary to the usages of the High Court of Chancery, was synonymous with the sin of " bribery and treating."--(Laughter.) It was contended at considerable length that Mr. Price, having been manager of the Land and Labor Bank, which was in connexion with the National Land Company, would be ineligible for the aep oint ment from that circumstance. It appeared teal the progressive stamps to the Land CoWpany's deed, which was of enormous length, cost 1,0001. After considerable further discussion, bis Honour said he should not appoint an official maeager until he was perfectly satisfied, by the most explicit de claratory Effidavits, that the order on the vetiaion to the Cour. above to wicd up the company-had been, obtsieed by Mr. Roberts, with the authority of Mr. O'Colnor. It was possible ho might appoint as in terim manager. The whole circumstances connected with the matter must be fully and unevasively ex plained. The proceedings then, at three o'cicck, v. ere ad j ourned to Tuesday next.

Thiers is recruiting himself after the fatigues of the season at the watering-places of the Py renees. The illustrious statesman makes long excursions to mountain peaks, and through ravines, bent on geological re searches. On a recent occasion he was very near falling a victim to the ardour of his pursuits. It appears that M. Thiers's favourite dress, in his character of mountaineer, consists of an entire suit of nankeen—blonse, trousers, jacket, and even cap, arc all yellow. On the 22d of last month he was making a reconnoissance on the edge of one of the precipices of the Pyrenees, when he heard suddenly the report of a rifle, accompanied by a certain tincomftrtable hissing sound just above his head, which speedily brought the historia❑ of a hundred battles into a very humiliating position—it plot centre on the ground. He concluded that he was about to be made a prisoner by the contrabandists, and in mortal agony crouched amongst the brushwood. Turn• ing out of his hiding-place, however, he saw presently ap proach a band of sportsmen, who had, not very unnaturally, when one considers the Tan and the nankeens, mistaken the ex-Minister for a chamois. P E DESTAIA.NISM.— On Wednesday afternoon, a pedestrian, named T. S. Gibson, commenced the performance of a feat here similar to that recently accomplished at Shef field by blanks. The match is, to walk 1,000 half miles in 1,000 successive half hours, 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours, and 1,000 quarter miles in 1,000 quarter tours, for the sum of 150/. a side. The ground is measured off in a small garden at Restalrig, near Jock's . Lodge, fourteen circuits o f w hi c h are equal to one mile. Gibson has in a vigorous manner, ac complished two days of the above ten weeks' undertaking. and is sanguine of its successful termination. He is about 22 years of age, of the middle size, and muscular; and many who have seen him entertain a favourable opinion of his 0114 to execute the arduous ta4l6—Edinburgh avant. FAMILY COLONIZATION LOAN SOCIETY. A public meeting of emigrants about to proceed to• Australia by the Athenian, a vessel chartered by the Family Colonizstion Loan Society, was held on Mon day on board. The ship lies in the East India Docks, whence she is to start on her voyage for Adelaide and Port Philip to-lay. Tne society was origi nated by Mrs. Chisholm, and has for its object the foundation of a self. supporting system of colonization. One third of the passage-money has ben advanced to the emigrants, the loan to be repaid within two years ; but the mare remarkable feature of the so ciety is the arrangement under which emigrants are, formed into groups, each member of which is to a certain extent responsible for every other, no one being admitted except after due inquiry. The society has prospered greatly, and the Athenian is the third ship it has sent out. She is a fine vessel, of 670 tons, and looke i extremely well. As the meeting on Monday was open to the friends of the emigrants, and the time of departure was so near, a very large company assembled ; and at two o'clock, when tne Earl of Shaftesbury, who was to preside, came on board, almost all the available space on deck was oc cupied, including such parts of the rigging as lands men could venture upon. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in proceeding to ad dress the assembly, said he desired to express the respect he felt for the emigrants before him, who had made such industrious exertions to better their con dition—creditable not only to themselves, but to the class to which they belonged.— (Hear, hear.) He met them with pleasure, but with pleasure not un mixed with regret that our native land was to lose the labour and the presence of so many of its honest inha bitants. At the same time, he felt that we were ful filling the great law of' Providence, and " replenish ing the earth," and that, although there might be at the moment some slight disruption of domestic ties, yet in the end the great family of mankind would be largely and permanently benefited.—(Hear.) Per haps he might be allowed to take the opportunity of mentioning that he had received a letter from Sydney complaining of his having represented, at a meeting in Edinburgh, that Sydney was not a place to which members of our families could be safely sent; he had certainly been under the impression that that was a place to which it was not so advisable to send re spectable women as to our other colonies, but, if he had been misinformed, he was extremely sorry for the wrong he had done, and anxious to retract the asser tion.—(Hear.) He could not suffer the occasion to pass without adverting to the remarkable intelli gence from Australia, announcing that fields of gold of almost unlimited extent had been discovered, and promising—it must be remembered it was only promising—unbounded wealth to those engaged in the pursuit of the precious ore. It was not for him to say that mischiefs must necessarily result from these discoveries ; all he asked of the emigrints was to be careful, to weigh the matter deliberately, to exercise self-control, and let experience and principle be heard, before suffering themselves to be absorbed by the tide which was about to set in to the district of Bathurst in Australia.—(Hear.) He would ask them to go out with their eyes open, and with a de termination that by God's blessing nothing should supersede that without which there could be no se curity or honour for realms, no peace or happiness for families—honest, steady, regular, industrious exertion. —(Hear, hear.) For the strength and security of a nation all the gold that ever should be found would not be equal to the honest industry of a moral, pa tient, religious population.—(Hear, hear.) He would not say that there might not be great benefit involved in this discovery ; it might be the method of Providence for peopling those vast regions.—(Hear.) He trusted the emigrants before him were going out, not like colonists of ancient times, but with all the experience and science and power of modern civiliza tion—with the advantage of a good education, with the word of God in their hands, and, he hoped, in their hearts—(Hear, hear) ;—and that they might be enabled to turn to permanent and useful account those blessings of Providence, those gifts of God— for His gifts they were, or they would not have been found in the soil for men—gifts to be used for His honour and for man's benefit.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Earl concluded 4is remarks by expressing a hearty wish for the peace and prosperity - or - the' emi grants, and uttering a fe;vent prayer that God would bless them in this life, and lead them to everlasting happiness in the world to come. Mr. L. FOSTER, late member of Council for Port Philip, then addressed the emigrants, and said that they would find many branches of industry open to them ; indeed, he knew none which was not amply remunerative: and, so far as he had observed, what ever distress existed was confined to cases where it had been brought on by idleness, intemperance, dis honesty, or profligacy. There was no quarter of the world where honesty was more appreciated. The very fact of the presence of a class expatriated for their crimes, and their having a name for dishonesty, made honesty the more prized. Character would be more valueble to the emigrant then a pocketful! of sovereigns.— (Hear, hear.) Comfortable circum stances were not, indeed, to be attained without work and frugality ; but their was ample opportunity for the industrious.—(Cheers.) The truth was, too, that people liked Mrs. Chleholm's emigrants better than any others, and he trusted the present party would keep up the character earned by those she had sent out.—(Cheers ) Mr. SIDNEY would state to the visitors the nature of the society under whose auspices these emigrants were going out. It was well known that Mrs. Chis holm, who went to Australia many years ago for the benefit of her health, took a great interest when there in the welfare of the emigrants. She established a temporary home for females in Sydney, and headed parties into the interior with a view to place the emi grants in respectable situations, and distribute them where labour was demanded. When she returned to this country she devoted herself to giving advice and assistance to emigrants. The constitution of this society, instituted by her, was of the following de scription :—Persons belonging to the working classes disposed to emigrate were advised to lay by money weekly or otherwise, till it amounted to two-thirds of their passage money ; the remainder was to be lent to them, without interest, to be repaid in the colony within two years after tbeir arrival. But it was de sired that they should know something of one another ; and accordingly the emigrants were formed into groups of not Jess than nine individuals. Every ap plicant was referred to. one of these groups, end the group made themselves acquainted with him, and ascertained whether his promise to repay the loan might be relied on, every member of each group being liable to pay 103. for any member of it who should make default in repayment. Friends and relatives were thus united, and individuals were introduced as to a family.—(llear, hear.) The sccie • on the other hand, took great pains to maintain comfort and order on the passage, and to secure health and a good moral tone among the emigrants.—(Hear, hear.) The berths were enclosed, and suited to the various parties, whether a married couple with young children, or single men and women ' • the lads and girls of a f am ily would be placed near the parents ; every single woman would be under the care of some one. of the mothers who went out. This ship would take out but 208 adults ; she had taken out as many as 350 troops. Mr. It. LOWE, late member of Council for Sydney, tendered some practical advice to those who were going out. He counselled them to employ the period of the voyage carefully, in acquiring knowledge and self-discipline. When they arrived, they would hear a great deal about gold discoveries;—he would say, " Let other people go gold hunting, you will derive the benefit of the discovery in the advanced rate of wages in the market, from which so much labour will be withdrawn."—(Hear, hear.) The gold-field was a lottery, in which a vast number would draw blanks, and in a country where there was a number of persons who had been transported for their crimes, and whose sentences had expired, but who had not all become reformed men, there would be congregated in the gold-field a desperats and reckless set, whom every prudent man would wish to avoid.—(Hear.) Probably, before the requisite force could be applied by the Government, there would be scenes that would rival those in California.—(Hear.) The superior class of emigrants sents out by Mrs. Chisholm would command high wages gind situations o f t rust. T he great demand was for' people who could be trusted when the employer's back was turned, and the economy and self-denial which must have been exercised by the emigrants present, in order to take advantage of this society's offer, would be some guarantee for their good conduct.—(Hear.) It was to be regretted that the finds at Mrs. Chisholm's command were not equal to the demand and the numbers requiring aid, but, by working a little longer, they might raise the whole capital themselves, and have the matter in their own hands.—(Hear.) A vote of thanks to the Earl of Shaftesbury, to the committee, and to Mrs. Chisholm having been passed with acclamation, The Earl of SHAFTESBURY expressed his admira tion of the intelligent zeal and indefatigable exertions of Mrs. Chisholm.—(Cheers.) The sudience had probably heard something of " Bloomerisw," which meant that ladies were to walk about in man's attire. —(1 laugh.) Mrs. Chisholm had attained the highest order of Bloomerism ; she had the heart of a woman and the understanding of a man,--(Cheers.) Hs [PRICE SD. wished her " God speed," and prayed that she might be made more end more instrumental in carrying out great and beneficent and holy purposes.—(Hear.) The assembly tken dispersed about the ship, and inspected the arrangements of the vessel. They ap peared to indicate much care and judgment, and to have been dicated by experience. Mrs. Chisholm, for whom the emigrants seemed to have the most atree tionate regard and respect, was unwearkd in her courteous attention to the demands made upon her by visitors for explanation and description. REPI?ESPIVTATION OF HERTFORDSHIRE. We stated on Monday that a requ'sit!on bad been presented to Sir E. Buti,yer Lytton, and that be had consented to stand for Hertfordshire. The following are the documents " TO SIR EDWARD BUMPER LYTTON, DART. " Sir,—Believing that you coincide with us as to the destructive tendency of the best interests of our country of that pernicious system of legislation lately pursued, and as to the necessity cf arresting its pro gress, and affording encouragement to all branches of native industry, by a judicious revision of our system of taxation, we, the undersigned electors of the county of Hertford, request that you will consent to support, on the earliest opportunity, these our views, as Qur third representative in Parliament. " May 31." To this requisition, signed not only by most of the principal proprietors in the county, but by large numbers of farmers, tradesmen, and other electors, Sir Edward returned the following reply : " Gentlemen,— I thank you sincerely and respect fully for the distinguished honour which your requi sition to become a candidate for the county of Hert ford, at the next general election, confers upon me. " You rightly judge of my sentiments with re spect to the policy, erroneously called free trade, pursued by the present Parliament. first broughtglyraoiopposed ,p do practically suet dy free,t ot hi en t before etfho experimenter s e ek m i y n g " Ever since 1834, whe n a mot i on by Mr. H ume question of a repeal of the c orn -l aws, I have been adootftme n s admitti l ng e foreignuniform never consented to accept that experiment which strains and risks all the resources of an immense pro portion of my countrymen as a settlement that can be advantageous to the permanent interests of the rest; and I have never for an instant despaired of its revi sion. My convictions on this question are confirmed by the utter falsification of the assurances and pre dictions upon which the experiment was based; by my deep sympathy with the distress it has occasioned throughout the agricultural class; and by my per suasion that the continuance of such distress cannot fail to inflict a corresponding injury upon every branch of trade and commerce that depends on the national home market. For our producers are also consumers, and whatever tends materially to diminish the income derived from the capital invested in the soil, must of necessity decrease the demand for all the articles which the producers and owners of the soil habitually consume. Common sense tells us that whatever impoverishes the customer must ultimately impoverish the tradesman. " Nor, with respect to the labouring class, is it less clear that the distress of the employers must at last fall upon the employed; and must lower wages to a far greater amount than the reduction at present effected, or than can be compensated by the differ ence in the price of the loaf, since the rate of wages depends on the extent of the fund for the mainte nance of labourers, compared with the number of labourers to be maintained. And it follows, there fore, as the inevitable consequence of any long• con tinued agricultural distress, that the wages of the la bourer (if the population be not considerably lessened by emigration) must be eventually lowered, not merely to the relative price of the loaf, but in pro , portion as the fund from which the wages come is di minished. This truth is self-evident to the most or dinary understanding. If 1,0001, in any given dis trict, has hitherto been sub-divided into wages among 50 labourers, and 5001. of that fund is lost, while the 50 labourers remain, there is only half what there was before to go to the maintenance of the same number of persons. And though wages may fall slowly, still to a level with the loss in the fund which supplies them must wages obvlotisliand unavoidably fall at last. " do not disguise from you the pain which I naturally feel, that my consistency on a question that I regard es all-paramount should sepa rate me from a party to which I formerly rendered some humble service, at a time, indeed, when its chiefs seemed as much opposed to a repeal of the corn-lama as myself, and had not reviewed that policy under which, while the agriculture of this country made the most signal progress, its manufactures and its commerce had attained unparalleled eminence. Such pain at the rupture of ancient ties, from a sense of duty, every man of generous spirit will comprehend, and he will feel that the greater the pain the deeper and more honest the convictions by which it is con quered or consoled. "Assured in my conscience that the time has come when all who entertain my opinions must (vi hatever their regard for individuals who differ from them), exert all their efforts to arrest the progress of a system which I concur with you in believing to be destruc tive to the best interests of our country, I accept your support in the same spirit witb which you generously tender it. All practical public men recognise those principles of action by which minor considerations are merged in the union necessary to secure such mea sures as they deem most essential to the safety and prosperity of the State. " If returned to Parliament as your representative, you may rely therefore on my zealous endeavours to procure and maintain 14 British industry that vital justice, lost in the principle now pursued, which con founds free trade with fie e imports, and has for its ob ject the compulsory reduction of natural prices in a highly tamed community to the level of foreign labour free from our burdens, and for the encouragement of foreign markets rigidly excluding our products. "Permit me to add, also, that, regarding the rights, liberties, and glory of England, as the espe cial charge of English statetmen, I shall endeavour, while friendly to all wise and well•considered measures for the improvement of our laws, for the relief of taxation, or the more Equitable distribution of its burdens, and for the social progress of our people 'generally, to maintain the institutions with which those rights, those liber ties, and that glory are inseparably identi fied ; that, while advocating freedom of conscienc, in religious opinions, I shall uphold that Protestant Church by which freedom of conscience was first es tablished ; and both as Protestant and as English man, I shall watch with Jealousy and resist with firmness any renewed attempt of a Roman potentate to undo the work of the Reformation, and render this kingdom of England subordinate to the Papal see. " I reserve to future occasions any more detailed statement of my political opinions, which, right or wrong, shall be at least as frankly expressed as they are honestly conceived. I have now only to repeat the assurance of my grateful pride in your con fidence ; and, sanctioned by a requisition com prising so large a portion of the most honoured and influential names in this county, I submit my cause, which I behave to be that of all who live iu the land, and would fain live by it, to the sense and judgment of the important constituency to which you have invited me to appeal.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, bw y or o t u b, r most obliged , I lig , e l d Bs. ao l d ,, faithful servant, " EDWARD BOLWER LITTON. „ Kne [ADVERTISEMENT].—TITEGREAT EXHIBITION.— A valuable newly invented very small powerful waistcoat pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known lit mile distant, they answer every pur pose on the race-course, at the opera-houses, country scenery, and ships, are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles, they are in• valuable for Hunting, Shooting, Deer Stalking, Yachting, to Sportsmen, Gentlemen, Game Keepers, and Tourists— To be had at Messrs.
