MINES. LONDON AND SUBURBAN FREEHOLD LAND AND BUILDING SOCIETY. Last night a numerously attended meeting of the shareholders in the London and Suburban Freehold Land and Building Society, was held at the British. School Rooms, Denmark-street, Islington, for the pur pose of balloting for 30 rights of choice on the estates possessed by this successful society. Shortly after eight, on the' motion of the Rev, Dr. HEWLETT, the chair was taken by John Teulon, Esq. The usual routine business having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the evening, said he felt a pleasure in being called upon to . preside over them that evening; they had met for a good purpose, and one calcluated to enlist their best feelings. The object of their meeting to-night was simply to re cord that which had been done, and to solicit the patron age of those whom he had the honour to address. This society, the London and i *Suburban 'reehold Land and Building Society, as most of you are aware, embraced three distinct objects, one of which, was the placing within the reach of a ll the obtaining of a piece of land whereby you become entitled to participate in the great constitutional privilege —the exercise of the. electoral franchise in conformity with the act passed in the reign of Henry IV. At that time forty shillings . was considered to be a large sum, the law still existed, and every person possessed of a piece ,of land of th a t annual value was en titl e d t o a county vote. Very few persons, till lately, cared much about becoming voters, and it remained for freehold land societies, by combination, to alter that state of things, and now it has become easy for the majority of the people to avail themselves of the privilege. This society possessed between 700 and 800 shareholders, 200 had already ob tained allotments ; they possessed five estates' situated respectively at Farnham, Kingston, North Woolwich, Barking-road, and Plaistow, all of which, except the last, have been balloted for, and for the purpose of doing so for the last one was the object of their meeting here to night. Beyond this was the building portion of the society, which enabled a man either to build a house on the land he had purchased, or to deposit his savings safely and securely at 5 per cent, till he joined either depart meats of the society, or until he should wish to receive back his deposits with interest. He (the chairman) considered that habits of carefulness and frugality on the part of labouring men should be fostered to the utmost extent. (Cheers.) Every man expected twelve pence for his shilling, and twenty shillings for his sovereign, and he would consider it an insult to offer him less. Yet' it was sorrowful to see how much of that hard earned money was squandered away in waste. (Hear, hear.) The encouragement of saving on the part of the industrious was a very important principle— when that feeling once commenced, he (the chairman) scarcely ever knew it to be departed from, and, while the industrious man is striving to provide for a rainy day, he at len g th fi nds he has become possessed of a house and land. Of course, you all know that to arrive at tshuechbaainioetnodf tmhuisstsobceieat, work a of time, but, by the aid of by its aid build his hous y e, inst dof get land, and ea paying rent to his landlord. Societi es o f this did Feat good— and created a feel they raised men to a higher standard, ing not of vanity and pride, but the proper and better feeling of independence. (Cheers.) Every nso raised becomes a better member of society. • _ man, in concluding his observations, which had been lis tened to with muoh attention, urged upon those present to speak to their neighbours, and induce them to follow a good example. Such a proceeding would eventually tend to good results to the community at large, and they would have something to call their own, which they never I could have had had it not been for these societies. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in calling upon Dr. Hewlett to address them. (Cheers.) The Rev, Dr. HEWLETT, in rising to address the meet. ing, was received very cordially. He said it gave him great pleasure in participating in anything calculated to improve the condition of the industrious classes. (Cheers.) de was passing through the Strand the other day, near the Lyceum Theatre, when he saw some bills with the words, "How to make Home Happy," but he considered that these societies would do more to do that than anything they could see on the boards of a theatre. They aristocracy, bill very lately, had been looked upon as the only people who'possessed land, but the prudent man, by habits of frugality and industry, and by the help of societies like this, ob tained a portion of the land, received his quid pro quo, and at once became a freeholder. (Cheers.) An instance of the benefits conferred by a society of this description had come within his own knowledge. A. working man, heaving taken a share, began to think how he should best be able to pay up his share. He told his wife, and she immediately told him to go back to the society and obtain another share for her, and as he strove to pay his from the curtailment of some of his little luxuries, so would she endeavour to do so out of her household expenses. The conferring of the franchise was among the many great benefits conferred by freehold land societies. The act relative to the franchise was passed in the reign of Henry IV. Th e preamble of the bill was to the following effect, that, owing to the great disturbances at elections, no one should vote who was not possessed of land of the annual value of forty shillings ; therefore, said the rev, gentle man, you see the act was meant as a restriction, not boon, as had been so largely talked of. At the time of the enactment forty shillings was about equal to forty pounds now, and therefore the benefits conferred by these societies only brought men back to their original posi tion ; that was, that every man should have a vote. (Loud cheers.) Two hundred members had received their allotments, so he (Dr. Hewlett) did not think that this society could be classed among those called do-nothing societies. The directors had taken care to purchase land in that part most easily accessible, therefore the most likely to benefit the shareholders. The Barking -road estate had been allotted, and each allotment conferred the title to a free ticket to pass as often as he pleased, backward and forward, by railway every day in the year for 255. (Cheers.) The building department of the society was an appendage to the original part, but it was a highly advantageous one. It enabled the indus. trious man to build his house in a manner the most consonant with his feelings. He rejoiced that the time was approaching when every man's house would be his own castle. (Cheers.) But at present, you all know what sort of castle it is—(laughter)--a castle that he can very soon be deprived of. But when the land and the bricks and mortar are paid for, then indeed is an Eng. lishman's house his castle. (Cheers.) He rejoiced heartily that such a time was coming, aye, and quickly. The rev, gentleman resumed his seat amidst much applause. Mr. TAYLOR, the manager of the society, then ad dressed the meeting, and said the buildiffg department had been added to that of the freehold land, for the Pur pose of enabling those members who may become en titled to allotments of land to have their houses built for them by the society on their own land, o,lld to repay the sum so laid out by weekly instalments, and it was thought that the extension of this principle was calcu lated to confer very great advantages on the industrial and other classes of the community, as it enabled all members soon to become possessed of house property ; and, instead of renting-a house for years, or perhaps for life, a man may become his own landlord by taking up shares in this society. For a five-roomed house he must hold one share in the building department; a six. roomed house he must hold two shares ; to a seven roomed house, three shares ; and to an eight-roomed house, four shares ; the payments to be spread over 6, 9, 12, or 15 years. Thus a working man may obtain his freehold house and land, and consequently his vote for the county by paying Bs. a week for fifteen years, or 9 8. 3d. for twelve years, or by paying a larger sum for a. less number of years to the bui lding so ciety. The sober, intelligent, and indu fu s n t d rio of us the n _ would readily see the great advantages afforded by this department, and he trusted he woul d readily, eagerly, _ embrace them. (Cheers.) The ballot for the thirty rights of choice then took place, Mr. Burke having been selected to take charge of the wheel. The following were the successful numbers :-282, 659, 237, 562, 22, 703, 637, 581, 7 4 , 24 , 270 , 747, 725, 216, 361, 210, 366, 203, 265, 330, 356, 554, 363, 671, 641, 173, 241, 137, 565, and 342. In addition to which ten numbers are to be added to the seniority list. Dr. HEWLETT then, in a very neat speech, mov e d a vote of thanks to the chairman. It having been carried unanimously, The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and said he felt highly pleased with the proceedings of the evening. The meeting then terminated. ROUEN.—The letters from Rouen state that the mar ket for manufactures was rather more active, but that no great alteration had occurred in prices.

COLLISION ON THE RIVER, AND SINKING OF THE GRAVESEND ST EAMER.--On Sunday evening the Meteor, Gravesend steamer, after leaving Brunswickpier at Blackwall, was run into by the Dublin serstea m- ship Sylph, nea r th e Halfway- Reach, and, from the violence of the collision, the Meteor was divided almost down to the keel. Great confusion and alarm arose amongst the passengers, who saw that the vessel must soon go down, and they rushed in a body upon the deck of the Sylph. Some who were in the cabin very narrowly escape d drowning, and, but for the assistance of the captain and crew of the Dublin steamer, would in all probability have met with certain death. The Meteor went down shortly atter the passengers were rescued. The wreck lies midway between the Halfway House and the Pow der Magazine, on the Kent shore. At low water her stern wheel is just visible. Arrangements were made yesterday for raising the vessel, the Admiralty having granted the use of some of the dockyard chain lighters for the purpose of making the attempt. It is feared, however, that she is so much damaged that she will break in two from the weight of her engines, &c. She is insured, but we understand not to the extent that it rill ow her INN pm in pm
