Notwithstanding the inclement state of the weather, his Royal Highness the Chancellor was out early this morning. At ten o'clock he visited King's College, where the magnificent chapel and library were inspected. The Senate-house began to fill by half-past ten, and before eleven o'clock the galleries were crowded with undergraduates. From the judicious arrangements which had been made, less inconvenience was ex perienced than might have been expected, the ladies being admitted at a side entrance. Punctually at eleven o'clock the Royal carriages arrived, and the Prince, in his robes of office, accompanied by the Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Geldart, with the Duke of Brabant, Count Lansnoy, and M. Van de Weyer, and attended by the Hon. Col. Grey and Col. Gordon, entered the Senate house, pre ceded by the Esquire Bedels, amid the deafening cheers of the undergraduates. Having conversed a short time with some of the heads of colleges, the Caput was summoned, and the Prince took his place as Chancellor, and assisted in passing the different supplicats and graces relatin„ to the business of the day. The following supplicat was then presented by the Public Orator :—" Cum Princeps eflsissimus, Dux Bra banthe, Leopoldi Belgarum Regis Filius natu maximus, honoribus vestris augeri velit, placeat vobis ut Cesissi mus Princeps prxdicatus, habits natalium et dignitatis ratione, cooptetur in ordinem Doctorum in Jure Civili." This having duly passed the non-regent and regent houses, the Public Orator presented the Duke, address ing the Chancellor and Senate in a very eloquent Latin speech. He began by congratulating the University upon the great interest shown by his Royal Highness and the endeavours made by him to promote the learn ing,' arts, and science of the British nation ; and, after complimenting the King of the Belgians and the me mory of the late Queen, he eulogised the Belgian people who had so nobly won their independence, and, pursu ing their laudable course of manufactures and commerce, had shown themselves worthy of the free institutions which had been conferred upon them. He, in conclu sion, presented the youthful Duke to the Chancellor, who with the usual forms admitted him to the degree of Doctor of Laws. 2 li The following gentlemen of the University of Oxford were then admitted by the Prince ad eundera gradem, : John Thomas Cyril Stacey, A.M., Pembroke College. Edward Wilberforce Unwin, A.M., Merton College. Albert Channing Abdy, A. 8., Worcester College. Henry Gordon, A. 8., St. Mary Hall. 5 7 3i d d id par i— * d His Royal Highness then adjourned the congregation till 2 o'clock, and proceeded to the lecture-room of Pro fessor Willis (the Jacksonian Professor). The subject was the machinery used in the manufacture of ropes, which was admirably illustrated by working models. At 2 o'clock the Prince visited and inspected the public library, and at 3 went through the Observatory. After having visited as many of the colleges as his time would permit, he finally left by special train at 4 o'clock. With the exception of the severity of the weather, his Royal Highness's visit has gone off most satisfactorily. The Vice-Chancellor presided at the Congregation at 2 o'clock, when the following degrees were conferred : BACHELOR OF LAWS. Edwin Barton, of Christ's College.

One of the ho uses is conducted in the most flash style, by a female rejoicing in number less aliases. Gentlemen drive up in coaches and four, in dog-carts with two footmen behind, and in vehicles having two mounted postilions, while the " lathes " of the establishment also drive out in coaches and four, re turning home at night intoxicated, two of them some times occupying the box seat. A notice to quit was served on a brothel-keeper in Norton-street, who closed the house, and removed to another in the same street, opposite the clergyman's house, where the party resumed business as brisk as ever. FREE TRADE FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. Last night a very large and influential meeting of the shareholders and supporters of this successful society was held at the Hanover-square Rooms. Among the gentle men on the platform were Lieut.-Colonel Dickson ; S. M. Martindale, Esq. ; Thomas A. Pott, Esq. ; Jenkin Jones, Esq. ; Rowland Stagg, Esq. ; E. Solly, Esq. ; George Tyler, Esq. ; F. Twynam, Esq. ; T. C. Grattan, ' Esq. • R. Tress, Esq. ; T. C. Tnviins, Esq. ; Captain John Bishop-Culp e p er; Major-General Sir W. Clayton, Bart. ; H. E. Canney, Esq. ; W. Dickinson, Esq. ; J. Gate, Esq. ; J. Gimson, Esq. ; W. S. Hodgkinson, Esq. S. P. Hook and F. West, Esqs., solicitors to the society and Mr. Vigers, surveyor. Shortly before eight the chair was taken by T. C. Grattan , , Esq. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the evening, said, in despite of the unfavourable state of the weather, he felt happy in the presence ofso many ladies and gen tlemen, who had favoured them with their presence—it was an honour he deeply appreciated. It was by mere accident that he occupied the position he did. They had been disappointed, through indisposition, of the attend ance of the gentleman who had promised to fill the chair that evening, and in the emergency be could not refuse the solicitations to preside. The dense fog prevailing had upset all their arrangements. The programme had been most beautifully arranged—everything was in the most precise order—but the state of the atmosphere had upset them all. Although it had done all this, yet it had done them a great favour, it showed the society by the large attendance this evening, that the public at large do take a great interest in the success of the Free Trade Freehold Land Society. He would not enter into the object of the meeting, that would be done by the gen tlemen who would follow him—he would conclude by calling upon Mr. West to move the first resolution. Mr. WEST, in moving the first resolution, said--At this time he need not enter into the working of freehold land societies, they were well worked out, and perfectly understood by every one. Since the establishment of the first freehold land society in 1850, upwards of 4,000,0001. h a d b een subscribed, and estates to the value of between 5,000,0001. and 6,000,0001. had been pur chased and distributed among he could not say how many members. Freehold land societies prevent the person wishing to purchase a plot of land from going to a cer tain class of persons, he would call them jobbers. After an estate had been purchased, roads made, drains laid down, it was distributed among the members at the wholesale price, which effected a very large saving. This society had two very important objects in view , the first and main one was to place it in the powe r of every . man to obtain a piece of freehold land—(cheers)—the second one was to offer a sound and secure investment for the savings of the industrious. He was sure that most of them would bear him out in the assertion that if a per son wished to purchase a 40s. freehold, out of a free hold land society, the expenses of solicitors, conveyancing, title, &c., would amount to one-half or two thirds of the price of the ground. In this society all that expense is obviated, and the member gets it conveyed to him with out one shilling of the expenses. As an investment for saving, the security was most complete. There was no fear of depreciation, but a'clear and decided gain, the 401. invested soon becoming 601. Not so in building socie ties, which many of them, no doubt, knew to their cost. (Hear.) In some societies, a list of which he held in his hand, the shares brought 861. premium and more ; in another, 361. shares, brought 101. premium ; in another the 601. share brought 201. This society, established only on the 15th of August last, had issued 1,300 shares, and possessed a subscribed capital of 60,000/., and all this has been effected in the short space of three months. He thought he need not say that such a society as this deserved their utmost confidence ; he begged leave, therefore, to move—" That the rapid progress made by this society, and its firm establishment, demand the con fidence of the public, and entitles the committee of management to the thanks of the shareholders." The CHAIRMAN, after passing a high eulogium on Col. Dickson, called upon him to second the resolution. Colonel DICKSON, after thanking the chairman for so flattering a compliment, said he had merely done his duty, and he had done no more than any of his collea gues, with whom he had the happiness of being sur rounded. Mr. West had told them of the success that had attended the society since its foundation, on the 15th of August last, and that in only three months they had disposed of 1,300 shares. Another large society—he (Col. Dickson) would not mention names, because it would be unparliamentary, but this he would say, it was not the National—had disposed of 1,500 shares, but to effect that they had to visit twenty-one places : viz., Norwich, Brentford, Kingston, Croydon, Reigate, Hampstead, Ipswich, Chelmsford, Colchester, Great Yarmouth, Gravesend, Greenwich, Woolwich, Deptford, Rochester, Stratford, Derby, Nottingham, Liverpool, Putney, and Ealing. Now, look at the expenses that must have been incurred in holding those one and twenty meetings ; we have had but one meeting ; and we have issued 1,300 shares. (Cheers.) Our expenses have been a trifle or mere bagatelle ; economy in societies like ours is everything. It did not do to go headlong the first year, for we all know the difficulty of pulling in, the difficulty lay not in the expenditure, but in recovering the effects of a lavish outlay ; therefore, economy was the safest, the wisest, and the best course to follow, and that course was followed by this society in all its proceedings. (Cheers.) As one of the foun ders of this society, he (Col. Dickson) assured them it deserved their utmost approval, and that approval he was proud and happy to say, up to this time it had received. And when he could bring so pleasing a statement of affairs before them, he did not think he was asking too much, if he asked one and all present to give the society their combined and hearty support. (Cheers.) The gallant gentleman then read the resolution, and resumed his seat amid applause. The resolution having been put to the meeting by the Chairman, it was carried unanimously. Mr. MARTINDALE, in moving the second resolution, said—That after the clear, lucid, and forcible manner in which the claims of the society had been laid before them, he would leave that, and touch slightly upon another part of the subject. To enter into the prin ciples of the Free Trade Freehold Land Society would be impossible, from the length of time it would necessarily occupy ; but this he would say, that it was their wish and their desire, first, to elevate the position of the shareholders in the social scale ; second, to ex pand a taste for the arts and embellishments in the con struction of houses, and their third desire was to succeed in carrying out the two first mentioned. Of the vast importance of such an object none could entertain a doubt. In every part of the world was their language heard, in every part of the world was their power felt. Most of us had heard the American anecdote, that where there was a riot and a pound of tea, there, in ten minutes, was an English frigate sure to appear for its protection. (Cheers.) He could not better describe this country than in the language of one of old, o' John of Gaunt : This royal theme of Kings, this sceptred Isle, This earth of Majesty, this seat of Mars This fortress built by nature for herself Against Invasion and the baud of war ! This happy breed of men, this little world; This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves us as the office of attack, Or as a sure defence at home Against the envy of less happier lands ; This blessed plot 'of earth !—this realm ! This England (Great applause.) Is it not worth while to have a plot of land in that same England ? (Applause.) Why, for the trifling pleasure of foregoing one cigar a-day a man would pay for his freehold. (Applause.) Besides other great advantages, this society possessed a register for the disposal of the rights obtained to choose allotments on the estates of the society, where the shareholders may positively realise sums varying from 501. to 1501. for as many shillings. If this was not a strong argu ment, lie did not know what was. He had great pleasure in moving the resolution as follows :—" That the now fully recognised and appreciated principles of the society leave no doubt as to its ultimate success, and warrant the continued and energetic support of it s members." Mr. Usrwm felt much pleasure in seconding the resolu tion. The plans before the meeting would convince every person present that the committee had done some thing—and that something entitled them to the support of every one present. Those fortunate enough to pos sess allotments on the estates of the society might, with out the slightest difficulty, realise from 301. to 501. pre mium for the property. It was proposed on the estate situate at Beckenham, to build villas, and certain plans were laid down so that one allottee would not be allowed to depreciate the property of another by the erection of a building not in conformity with the rest. (Cheers.) At Camberwell it is proposed to erect houses of the value of from 251. to 301. per annum. This class of houses was more required than any other, and a more eligible situation for the erection of such could not be found. Mr. C. Dickens in his excellent publication, " House hold Words," said the poor clerk with his 150/. a year, had the greatest difficulty in the world in finding a house suitable for himself and his family, he must take any accommodation he can get or put up with the mostincon venient lodgings. By the plans of this society, this to some extent would be remedied. It was the determina tion of this society in all future purc h a ses, to obtain not r only th e b es t, but the very best property for their sb an. holders. (Cheers,) and The resolution was then put b y the Chairman, carried unanimously.

Mr. H. E. CANNEY briefly seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN then putiC to the meeting, and declared it carried. In answer to a question asked by a gentleman in the body of the meeting, Mr. VIGERS, the surveyor to the society, said that on the Camberwell estate the allotments would be 15 feet frontage and 50 feet depth. On the Beckenham estate, within view of the magnificent Crystal Palace, the allotments would consist of 37 feet frontage, and vary Fin depth from 200 to 300 feet, and even a quarter of an acre could be had, if required ; and this, be it remem tiered, in a vicinity where the owners are asking one guinea a foot for their land. A gentleman, who gave the name of Ely, here asked the chairman whether he would permit him to address a few sentences to the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said it would afford him. the greatest pleasure in doing so. Mr. ELY having taken his place on the platform, pro ceeded, in a very humorous and original style, to address the meeting, declaring himself to be an ex-Lanoashire clodpole, an ex-anti-corn-law leaguer, and to be well known to Joseph Hume. (Cheers.) His remarks ap plied chiefly to the difference of the system , of acreage prevailing in Jersey-and in London. Mr. RICH then moved a vote of thanks to the chair. man. • Capt. BISHOP-CULPEPER said he felt very great plea sure in seconding it. Col. DICKSON then put it to the meeting, and declared it carried enthusiastically. The CHAIRMAN having briefly acknowledged the com pliu•,ent, the proceedings, which had been of the most agreeable description, terminated. REDTiCTION OF THE DUTY ON IRON IN FRANCE. (From the Timm.) The Moniteur of yesterday contains a decree of the French Emperor, reducing the duties on wrought iron imported into France by the mari time zone about 10 per cent., and the duties on cast iron by about 30 to 40 per cent., from the former rate. The effect of this measure seems to be to equalise the duties on foreign iron by reducing them to the rate previously levied on Belgian produce only ; and a similar measure has been applied to coal, the duty having been lowered in the restricted zone from sd. to 3d. per 100 kilos. As far as it goes, this removal of a mischievous differential duty, which limited the supply, in jured the revenue, and benefitted no one but a small class of ironmasters, is creditable to the Imperial Government ; and it ought to be well understood in France that it has been adopted solely from a view to the national interests of that country, and not as the result of ne gotiation with any foreign Power. Our wonder has long been much more excited by the per tinacity with which France has continued to set an artificial and excessive price on raw materials of primary necessity to the progress of mechanism and civilisation, than by her declining to open her ports to an important medium of exchange with this country. But we are aware that public opinion in France is so little formed on these sub jects that the Government has more difficulty in carrying such a measure than in doing many other things of a less creditable character. If it were not that the huge population of this metro polis has submitted and still submits to pay a large municipal duty on coal under the ob noxious form of an octroi, we should say that no impost could be devised more intolerable to an intelligent community, more onerous to manufac tures, more irksome to the comforts of the middle classes, or more cruel to the necessities of the poor. In the climate it is our fate to inhabit, and with the pursuits and employments which constitute the chief subsistence of this country and of the North ofFrance, cheap fuel is one of the greatest blessings we can en joy ; and the duty of 5 francs a ton levied on sea in the French ports acts as a restriction on all the productive powers lost by that increase in the price of the article. It will now be reduced to 3 francs, and we trust before long it will disappear altogether. Strictly speaking, and in a narrower view of the subject, this country has no interest in supplying France with the raw material for those works of industry and of art in which she is our most brilliant competitor, and the demand for British coal and iron abroad only tends to increase the price of those commodities to the home con sumer. With the exception of the class of coal owners and ironmasters, the direct advantage of this change is in favour of France, who obtains what is essential to her manufactures and railroads on easier terms. But the indirect advantage to other nations largely compensates for this differ ence. We acquire a more extensive medium of exchange with that country ; we unite by closer ties the industry and the material welfare of two great nations ; and we strengthen those common interests which are independent of the vicissitudes of mere political combinations. Some recent measures have a tendency to show on the part of the French Government a marked improvement in the soundness of its views on political economy. In the course of last summer we had occasion to comment with severity on the measures taken by the Government to interfere with the trade in corn, and to limit the price of bread, and we observed that such solecisms were incredible in a country which had produced nearly a century ago, and still retains in its political lite rature, M. de Turgot's admirable letter on the corn trade. A few days ago we had the satisfac tion to publish an able paper from the Moniteur, in which the State journalist exposed and repudiated in the most formal manner the fallacy of State interference to lower prices in times of scarcity, and wound up a very sensible argument by quoting that very paper by M. de Turgot to which we had alluded. It appears, indeed, that all the exertions made by France up to this time have only secured one-third of the quantity of corn required to make up her average con sumption, and the Government has fairly told the country I hat it must look for relief in this emergency to no other source than to the natural. operations f trade. The reduction of the duties on coal and iron is another proof that in the Coun cil of State, charged with the preparation of these measures, and in the mind of Louis Napoleon him self, there is a disposition to relax the prohibitive system of France ; and, as these inordinate duties have been so long upheld by powerful class interests, it is probable that no Government not exercising absolute and irresponsible power could have pre vailed over the prejudices and influence enlisted in their support. The price of corn in France is about as high as it is in England, and the distress in many of the rural districts is augmented by the failure of the vintage, the destruction of vines by the preva lent disease, and the great rise in the value of wines of all descriptions. In the South of France the olive crop has not been favourable, and even the produce of the silk-growers is below the average. But work is abundant. a.ad cages are high ; for, although it is not in the power of a Government to avert the visitations of Providence, or to convert scarcity into abundance, these evils are diminished in proportion to the energy and industry with which the population is enabled to meet them. For this reason the removal or reduction of every species of tax which is a burden on the productive power of the nation is a seasonable relief, and, at a period of high prices especially, it is most unadvisable to permit the restrictions arising from natural causes to be aggravated by restrictions imposed by man. For the general welfare of all classes of the commu nity cheap iron and cheap fuel are two primary conditions, for they enter more or less into every branch of industry down to the ordinary wants of domestic life ; and we trust that the success of this limited experiment will induce the Govern ment French to proceed with gre a t er freedom and resolu tion to relax the bonds which have hung so long on the foreign trade of the country. SOUTH SEA STOOK.-3luch dissatisfaction is expressed at their present position by the holders of the 3,662,7841. South Sea Stock which falls due on the sth of January, and the amount of which cannot be distributed owing to the directors having failed in the last session of Par ment to obtain an act empowering them to do so. The bill for the purpose was thrown out, in consequence of a plan being included in it for converting the South Sea Company into a trust company, and it is rightly contended, that these objects should have been sought by separate bills. According to an advertisement on Mon day last, however, it appears that the application to be made next session is to be in a similar form, and, as there is considerable danger that it will again encounter a prolonged opposition from the legal profession, under the fear that the creation of a trust company may tend considerably to do away with litigation, complaints are very naturally made that the rights of those proprietors i is n ht r u est in have tthheis amountpart of of fhe their question,stonstoc k paid and twwohhiemfmeeerlealsnyointerest soon w as possible, should be thus inconside rately WHALEY B RIDGE R AILWAY. sru tampered xou w.
