Last evening a very fully-attended meeting of the directors and shareholders in the Metropolitan and General Freehold Land Society was held at the London Tavern, Bishopssr 6 ate-street. The chief busine ss of the evening was to ballot, for the ninth time, for 80 rights of choice of allotments on the estates possessed by this successful society-40 for those members who preferred the rotation list, and 40 from the ballot section. Shortly after the hour appointed, eight o'clock, the chair was taken by J. G. Philps, Esq. A great number of new shares having been taken up among the gentlemen present, and the usual routine business having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN rose, and said it gave him very great pleasure to witness such a numerous attendance that evening. In opening the business of the evening, it might be as well to inform the meeting that it was the intention of the directors to alter the number of rights of choice to be balloted for that evening from thirty, the number originally intended to be drawn, to forty— (cheers)—and it was the intention of the directors to use their utmost exertions to greatly increase that number on the next meeting of the shareholders. Gentlemen, said he, at this enterprising time it required something more than a bill thrust into the hand by the perambulating adver tiser, or animated sandwich, as he has been facetiously termed by one of our greatest writers—it required something more than this to induce the public to attend a meeting of this description. A society, in order to become worthy of the support of the public, must have existed for a time long enough to be come entitled to that support ; it must be well and widely known both as regards respectability and security beyond the mere handbill or advertisement. Englishmen at this time of day reasoned before they attended a meeting of this description ; they wished to ascertain what had been done a,nl wh a t was intended to be done, and having done so, in order the more fully to be satis fied,j they deter m i ne d to attend a meeting and judge for themselves wheth er suc h society was worthy to be ° con sidered as a safe and solid undertaking . It was with feel ings such as he (the Ch a i rman) had just expressedt n hat h l a ie t beheld the very full and respecta b le attendance room that evening. It show e d most conclusive i ly t that this society did possess that i ngre di ent which entitled it to• the support of the thinking portion of the publi c . Gentlemen, one of the many benefits of fr ee h o ld land . societies was that it greatly extended the franchise, and for this one fact alone they deserved the most extended support. He (the Chairman) firmly believed and trusted that they would go on extending the franchise till the voice of every one would be heard and the power of every one felt. A movement few had contemplated had now taken place, and that movement he could at tribute to nothing but the spirit of fairness which pre vailed in freehold land societies, and in no society snore so than in the Metropolitan and General Freehold Land Society. (Cheers.) It was not in the nature of men, generally speaking, to attend at meetings of this descrir tion without the hope of getting something—(laughter) —and he trusted that the greater part of those present that evening would not be disappointed. The great spirit of commerce had now entered into freehold land societies—that commerce which caused a spirit of emula tion to exist in the bosom of the poorest as well as of the highest in the land—that commerce which induces the poorboy to spend his last 2d. to purchase a link in order to assist them in threading their way through a fog —(laughter)- -he thinks he has made a good investment of his capital, though you, for whom lie made the pur chase, may think otherwise. Now, when commerce had done all this, was it to be wondered at that it should creep into their society? It might have occurred to some one pre sent to ask himself what benefit lie would derive from being presentat this meeting ; he would tell those who had thought so that, by joining this society, they were placing upon themselves the necessity of providing means to ob tain that which they would one day find to be the best investment they had ever made. Gentlemen, during the past year we have had 600 drawn rights. (Cheers.) That he (the chairman) considered something more than nothing. (Cheers.) He advised those shareholders who might be so fortunate as to obtain rights that evening to hold tight, and property that was at the present time worth only 3 or 4 per cent., would in a very short time realise at least from 10 to 12 per cent. In addition to the 600 drawn rights, the society had marked off 200, and the simple fact of so doing very plainly showed that the remainder stood a very good chance of soon obtain- ' ing theirs. Their subscribed capital amounted to 15,0001. —(cheers)—and he only hoped the society might continue to receive the same amount of support as hitherto, and they would have nothing to complain of. He begged to thank the meeting for the patience with which they had listened to the few observations he had felt it his duty to make—(cheers)—and he would resume his seat by assuring the assembled shareholders that no exertions would be wanting on the part of the directors to further the general interests of the society. If any gentleman had any question to put to him respecting the society he would have great pleasure in answering him to the best of his ability. , Mr. WEST, with the permission of the chairman, would like to make a. few observations. With respect to the estate of the society situated at Barnes, he had \ great pleasure in informing the meeting that the whole of the drainage work had been completed. It had been very up-hill work for one of the directors, and he hardly knew how the society generally would be able to thank him. Nothing could be safer as an investment for saving than this society. They had had larger sums deposited with them, and by this means they had been enabled to purchase property which would greatly benefit the whole of the shareholders. It was a well-established fact that there could not be a safer commodity for the in vestment of money than land. The estate lately pur chased by the society at Barnes was, in his estimation, quite equal to the estate situated at Stoke Newington, the property of the National Society. The manner in which the roads had been laid down had been the ad miration of all who had had the good fortune to see them, and those who had not he advised to lose no time, but go at once and satisfy themselves of the truth of his , assertions. The CHAIRMAN then called for the appointment of three scrutineers, and said lie would prefer having the names of three gentlemen All.lO had not officiated before in that capacity, as fresh names in the detailed proceed ings of a society like theirs always looked best. (Cheers.) Mr. Jesse Turner Mr. Crofts (of Croydon), and Mr. Thomason (of Wandsworth) were then appointed scruti neers, and the seals on the ballot-box having been veri fied and removed, the balloting for the eighty rights of choice then took place. At the termination of the drawing, The SECRETARY announced the numbers as follows :- 804, 791, 803, 793, 2943, 3127, 800, 810, 2385, 2576, 2886, 1643, 2418, 802, 2863, 2880, 808, 2078, 3029,2737, 2911, 820, 805, 679, 815, 2470, 2468, 2908, 788, 813, 2952, 2020, 2443, 811, 2225, 1942, 814, 2444, 726, 790, 801, 807, 1647, 816, 678, 727, 2876, 2669, 729, 799, 2131, 3020, 730, 818, 320, 819, 3035, 2767, 797, 789, pOl9, 2446, 809, 817, 2499, 677, 319, 806, 2484, 680, 796, 3104, 728, 2203, 3157, 812, 2581, 2358, 2028, and 2838. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, who briefly acknowledged the compliment in a neat speech, in which he passed a high eulogium on the assi duity of Mr. White, the secretary. The proccelings then terminated. ANIESTHETIC VIRTUES OF ETHER. ( From the Zoist for October. ) THE PROTEST AND PETITION OF JAMES ESDAILE, ESQ., M.D., SURGEON, H.E.1.C.5., TO THE MEMBERS or THE AMERICAN CONGRESS. Respectfully sheweth,—That the writer, a British subject, and a surgeon in the East India Company's Service, has read with great astonishment`the following statement in a report of the Select Committee appointed by the United States Government, to debide who dis covered the anesthetic virtues of ether, so that Congress might bestow upon him a reward of 100,000 dollars. The report says : " At various periods, and in various ages, hope has been excited in the human breast that this great agent (the means of producing insensibility to pain) had been found but all proved delusive, and hope as often died away, until the discovery now under consideration burst -aPOO the world from our own country and in our own day. Th en ' and not till then, was the time-cherished hope realised, that the knife would loose its sting, and that blood might follow its edge without pain." In defence of truth and justice, I must take the ' l iberty . to inform Congress, that this statement is not 000ninyinlint. correct, but is perfectly untrue, and that y o'uornoraut or tee have been greviously misled by cuiP a- n4p res sing corrupt witnesses— corrupt to the extetnti: stated in the important evidence opposed to report. In support of this e ass mat 1545, hav I have respect fully to represent to Congrar,'in-pertorming a painless ing succeeded on the first trial operation upon a and with such success, secuted the subject still farm person in the' a nd trance, I pro ' hi o performed seventy , -t t ir d e e e . that in eight months of them of the i r , al painless operations, 7 37,, c h was publi shed 46Thi Y s M essrs.work is scription ; an 10. .?,. nn , London, in _ lB Longmans and y; in raja, . to the and was r. immediately ... re called " Mennie r . is ca. in July, 1846, I reported printed in Anl n n dia, that I had performed d upwards of " to satisfy Government 0 d nless operations, an offered one aplersons, in whom the Government had y num— d th e truth of my statements." The Go an MAlatte d committee to report con ' upon appointed went ber e • vern r i o operations to be . performed by me in their"neee Six severe operations were performed by in the presence . of the committee during a fort night that they sat, and the committee arrived at the following general result on the question of pain during th e mesmeric surgical operation witnessed by them That in three severe cases, there is no proof whatever that any pain was suffered ; and that, in the three other cases, the manifestations of pain during the operation are opposed by the positive statement of the patient that no pain was experienced." The Government in remarking upon the report of the committee to the chairman, said : " So far has tho possibility of rendering the most serious surgical operations painless to the subject of them been, in his Honour's opinion, established by the late experiments, performed under the eye of a committee appointed for the purpose, as to render it incumbent on the Government to afford to the meritorious and zealous officer, by whom the subject was first brought to its notice, such assistance as may facilitate his investigations, and enable him to prose cute his interesting experiments, under the most favour able and promising circumstances. With this view, his Honour has determined, with the sanction of the supreme Government, to place Dr. Esdaile, for one year, in charge of a small experimental hospital, in some favourable situa tion in Calcutta ; in order that he may, as recommended by the committee, extend his investigations to the appli cability of this alleged agency to•all descriptions of cases, medical as well as surgical ; and of all classes of patients, European as well as native." During the year of experiment, forty capital mesmeric operations w ere per f ormed i n t h e M esmer i c Hospital, , and at the end o f the par my successwa4 "12°1 v_ lei I in a minute of the Governer-ctia;s6A in. Council, and was rewarded by being made a'atr'laidency surgeon f Calcutta, that the natives might contitrue to enjoy benefits of mesmerism. S t that painless surgery `11:f means of mesmerism had reduced b y me to a rti gular every-day system in , long b e f oro either hid been hea r d of. Of which fat congress may st i ll &fil a r satisfy thems e lv e s, by referrin g ITUffnagle, consul for the United States, at Calcuttwhean ()Kober, 1846, assisted at the removal of a scrotal tumour Weigh ing 103 lbs. • of which the patient was quite uncon scious, and ultimately perfectly recovered. The simple and notorious fact is, that painless surgery by means of mesmerism, years before ether was heard of, was as common in my. hospitals as it has since be come in Europe under the influence of chloroform, and nearly three hundred capital mesmeric operations had been performed by me before leaving India two years ago. This being the actual state of the case regarding the history of painless surgery, the American Congress will perceive that I am fully justified in asserting that their committee have been misled by ignorant or corrupt wit nesses ; and that, however deserving of reward the dis coverer of ether may be, he was only copying by a drug what had been already done by myself and others, by a much safer and pleasanter natural power mercifully im planted in the human constitution. Congress will, I doubt not, be indignant at the daring and unprincipled suppression of evidence that I have exposed to them, and will be at a loss to imagine the motives for such an offence. As politicians, the members of Congress must be aware of the perveiting, distorting, unfair represen tations of. party spirit, by which history itself has be come "a lie," according to a celebrated English states man. Unfortunately this vice is not confined to politics, but exists in all professions, and in an intensely dis graceful degree, I lament to say, in that of medicine. Mesmerism from its birth has been excommunicated by the doctors without knowledge or examination, ard all the medical journals having rashly and ignorantly pronounced against it, afterwards conspired together in defence of their wrong-doing, and trusted to extinguish the obnoxious doctrine by keeping the medical profession and the public in total ignorance of the matter. They have hitherto succeeded so well in this, that it is pos sible the medical witnesses examined by your committee may only have been labouring under the most gross ignorance in giving their evidence ; but the American Congress will not lower itself so - much in the eyes of the civilised world as to adopt the verdict of an ignorant and incompetent jury. If, on the other hand, it shall appear that important evidence has been deliberately suppressed by the witnesses, then the world will expect that Congress in its wisdom and justice will repudiate the report of its committee, and severely punish those who would mislead it. It is with no intention of competing for the dollars in question that I have taken the liberty to address you (although the man who proved that painless surgery some‘cone io-efut'harreed),ciatsizetnliseseofsteielme u.inrrietedvoc could be pra c ti se d on a whole people, might look for S ) t. a l y t e sd;e'swtihneodhacito the sense to seek for some drug by which to imitate what I had already -done by mesmerism, the new But new judicial inquiry recommended by the committee, to determine which of my three imitato rs is to be the lucky winners of the dollars, I respectfully petition Congress to be permitted to adduc e p roo f i n support ofwhatl have now advanced, by whi c h an honourable opportunity will be afforded for correcting th e errors i n the commit tee's report, and Congress will be saved the shame of sanctioning by its high authority another of the lies of history. I have the honour to be, Your most obedient servant, JAMES &DAME. M.D. Fairmount, Perth, Scotland, Bth August, 1853. TOTAL LOSS OF THE BARQUE MERIDIAN ON AMSTERDAM ISLAND. (Peony the Overland Commercial Gazette, Oct. 18.) PORT LOMB, Oct. 18,—The wreck of the Meridian, and the incidents connected with this sad event, pos sessing more than usual interest, we have been anxious to give in our Overland a more detailed account than has yet appeared. We have been seconded in our at tempt by several passengers from that ill-fated vessel, who have most willingly and kindly placed at our dis posal their written notes, and have also afforded us much information verbally. It is, therefore, with great satisfaction that we publish the following narrative, con fident as we are that it is correct and impartial. The Meridian, a barque of 579 tons register, Captain Richard Hernaman, commander, left Graves en d on th e 4th of June last, with 26 chief cabin passengers, 53 steerage passengers, and a v a l u abl e cargo , for Sydney, New South Wales. She was a very fine vessel of her class, A 1 at Lloyd's for 13 years, and only a year old. Her timbers and fittings were of live oak and teak and her iron work was of a very superior description. The spars of the Meridian were of great size and strength, being, indeed, large enough for a vessel of 900 tons, and these enabled her to carry a great press of sail, though they also made her very crank, and consequently very uncomfortable as a passenger ship. She had a remarkably fine passage up to the 20th de gree of south latitude, but afterwards she was delayed by calms, contrary winds, and squally weather, especially after passing the Cape of Good Hope, soon after which she encountered a rather smart gale. It did not, how ever, last very long, but on the night of the 23d of August, when the vessel was in about lat. 3S 50 S, and long. 74 20 E, a heavy gale sprang up, and the captain ' altered his course, and bore up for the island of Amster dam instead of St. Paul's, which he wished to sight, in oi-der to correct an error which he imagined might exist in his chronometer. The gale increased the next day, and the weather was very thick, but the course steered E by S enabled the vessel to go freely before the wind. A few minutes before seven o'clock a sea struck the ves sel, and partially inundated the 'tween decks, after which the captain ordered the course to be altered to E. About a quarter past 7 in the evening, just as the tea things in the ruddy had been cleared away, and the chil dren (of whom there were 41 on board) were being put to bed, a sudden shock made the vessel stagger violently. At first it was supposed that the Meridian had run foul of another vessel, there being no look-out on the fore castle ; but five or six more violent shocks, and a peculiar grating sound at the bottom of the vessel; convinced the passengers that she had struck upon rocks and such proved to be the case, for the Meridian had gone ashore on the south-western point of the island of Amsterdam. The captain, upon the first alarm, rushed up the poop stairs, and was swept off by a sea almost immediately afterwards. The officers and crew , and some of the m a l e s m e2 o n t d o - p c , al a n o n d pa s t s h e e ng p e a r ss,s passengers st in ref ugethe in the riggin g an d ce iec i hi n e d f ea c t a h bhi wh a i n ch d second cabin awaited th ere the certain - d e a i impending n over them. The situa ftoiorn ao of the time second cabin passengers was distressing in the extreme: Almost as soon as t quan tities of' water poured down e ship struck large cabins on the lee side of the' the hatchways and the that it was with the utmost tween decks filled so fast, got over to the difficulty that, the passen gersstarboard side, where they remained for more than two h h • hours up to their waists i n wa t er , and many of them having no other covering than their night clothes. They were rescued from this position by about h lf a -past te n o'clock in consequence of the exertions of Mr. Edward Tulloch, the second mate, 11. r. Worthington, the third mate, and Charlea Sno w , one of the seamen , an d were placed in the euddy. About half-past one o'clock the main-mast which had been gradually sinking for some time, fell over the side, with all the rigging standing, towards the rocks, thus forming a bridge by which the passengers might cross over from the wreck to the shore. At the same time the vessel parted in two, at the after hatch way, and when the morning dawned nothin g was see n of the fore part of the vessel but a small portion of the forecastle. The poop, however, remained entire, an d afforded some kind of shelter to the majority of the pas. sengers, till it was deemed s afe to attem pt a passage to the shore. This was safely effected by six o'clock on the following morning. Mr. 'Worthington and Snow, as w ell as Mr. Tahoe'', again making themselves conspi cuous by their gallantry in hel p in g the women and children over. The only persons who lost their lives were the captain, the chief cabin cook, Thomas George, and a Swiss steerage passenger named Pfau. For the first two nights the men and most of the women and children lay down on the bare reeks;, with no other covering than the clothes in which they stood upright, but providentially they had been supplied as soon as they landed with abundance of new flannel and red and blue serge shirts, which formed part of the cargo, and were cast on shore. A small quantity of provisions was also got together, but not more than enough for ten days' consumption, and that according to a dietary scale, which was barely sufficient to support life. Th e first two days a biscuit a day was served out to adult s. biscuit but this ration was afterwards reduced to half a for all hands, children included ; two days they h a d half a pound of fresh pork each, but the rest of the time they remained on the south-west portion of the that island a herring a day and half of a mouldy 1 3 * • lseult formed the chief part of their means of subsistence. On the third day atter the wreck a general made to a point about a thi r d o f a mil e _ move Ina wreck, where it had bee n found prac ti cal . distant from the cliff, on the top of which an enca mpment to ascend th e and a signal post ere c t e d, w i t h two of white flannel to serve as a flag. red shirt s , and yards morn ing following, a tt rac t e d the This, on the was cruising abo u t the islan d , notice of a w h a l er w h o in consequ ence o f a _ but who was u n a ble, gale which sprang up, to hold any communication with the passengers until the ' Wednesday morning, whe n he sent a boat round b the coast, which signalised them to set out at once ) and travel in the direction from which the boat had come. Both part i es expected that it woul d b e i mposs ibl e for all who had been shipwrecked to leave the island that very evening, but both were painfully disappointed ; a violent gale sprang up, and drove the whaler out to sea, and the shipwrecked emigrants, who thought that they had, at the utmost, a day's walk before them, had to accomplish a three days' journey of an appalling nature, through a dense jungle, by the side of the cliffs, and Whenwith a still scantier allowance of food than before. they arrived at the point where they e island, xpected the to be embarked, on the north-eastern side of the vessel was not there , an d for two days they subsisted on raw cabbage and a few limpets. Most happily_ for all, on Monday, Sep. 5, when day, eanwdaws water y w cabbage enough remaining for a single as only e of a mile, adistance which it procurable at the distance of them in their was impossible for many of emaciated state to have walked, they were taken off by f ' Ludlow, of the barque Monmouth, Captain belongi ng the United States, the whaler already referred to. to On hoard of this vessel they received every attention that a large-hearted benevolence could suggest, and they reached Mauritius just three weeks after they had been rescued from a triple death by drowning, cold, and starvation.
