THE PEACE SOCIETY.

The annual general meeting of this society was held
on Tuesday evening at Finsbury Chapel, Moor
field; London, under the presidency of Mr. J. W.
PsAss., M.P. .

The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, spoke
strongly in condemnation of the increased war expendi-
ture of the Government, and mid the increase of the army
by 20,000 men was nothing better than a sham. He referred
to the late continental war, and said that France, by dis-
regarding the Paris Treaty of 1856, and entering into
a war with Germany, in spite of the remonstrances of
England and the other Powers who were parties to
that treaty, had drawn down upon herself a terrible re.
tribntion which had now culminated in a horrible civil
war in the streets of Paris. He contended that the
Government had been forced Int, its reckless war ex-
penditure by the strong military element unfortunately
prevailing in the House of Commons, He concluded
by advocating a general disarmament of the European
nations.

Mr. Henry Richard, M.P., then read the report.,
which stated that the committee have issued during
the past year a large number of publications, ranging
from volumes of m nsiderable size to email tracts and
handbills. Some of these discussed the general prin.
ciph•sof per ce, and the practical proposals for inter-
national disarmament and arbitration which the society
has for so many years advocated. Altogether the
number of publications issued during the year has
amounted to about 260,000 copies. The number of
peace meetings held during the past year has amounted
to more than 370. Tee committee believe that these
unin-d agencies of platform and press have exercised a
considerable and valuable influence upon the nation,
in forming public opinion in favour of that policy of
nonintervention which, in spite of all efforts to the con-
trary, has been observed by the people and the Govern•
meet of this country during the late period of war
and excitement. They also believe that some reetrair..
ing influence has thus been brought to bear upon the
panic fears of imaginary danger from foreign Invasion
recently fostered in many quarters. The report con-
chided by referring to the very encouraging increase
during the past year in the general interest in the sub-
ject of International arbitration as a future substitute
for war, and made special allusion to the practical
illustration afforded by the appointment and labours
of the Anglo American Joint High Commission.
The meeting was addressed by Sir Wilfred Lawson,
M.P., Mr. Jacob Brie:lj, M.P. the Rev. Mr.
Conder, Mr. Henry Vincent; and others • after which
the report was adopted, and the proceedings coucluded
with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

THRILLING ADVE;TURE Wall A BEAR, IN INDIA.—A
few nights ago, a gentleman returning along the Orain.
Trunk Road to Raneeguage, in a paikee, was sudderil ,
awakened by his bearers dropping Ms palkee in the mid, :
die of the road, and screaming nut, "liver, bear." Oe
laoking out, he saw a Lear within a few varue of tie,
palkee. Unfortunately, the traveller, being of a peace
able disposition, carried no more effective arms with bin.
than a drooring.room pistol, which was considered seta
cleat to inspire terror amonget the natives of Bengal.
But Brain was not to be so easily terrified. and he ap.
FuAebed the palkee. The traveller's firat thoughts were
to appease Iris enemy, and having a small stock of refresh
mints with him, he threw out a liarchboiked egg as n
token of SI iendslup. Skis Bruin shortly consumed, aim
then appeared cloaer to tile p .Ikee, like Oliver Twist.
asking for more. The pistol then appeared the an.
safeguard, and as Bruin's ingnisitivenese led him close t.
tim palkee doors, toe travelltr wade up hi, naiad to dot.,

! Wailing till the bear Came Clone to the small apertur.
Lit open between the palkee doors to watch the enemy's
movements, the traveller raised his fatal wrap ii on,,
flied at Bruin's eye. The result was nii. Again ihe
linaar sniffed at the small aperture, as if in search ..f an• -
tin r egg, or something more substantial in the shape of
human flesh. Happy thought ! Wild animela dread

traveller stiuck two or three of them on the box, an

HAGLEY.

STOCK Saute.—The Whitsuntide sale of fat stock wet
held in a field adjoining the Lytlelton Arms Inn, fLigley,
on Monday last, and proved to be the largest sale that
has yet taken place there. There were about 1,200 sheep
and lambs, 1,100 of which were disposed of. The
remainder had to be sent back, there not being sufficient
pens to accommodate them. The prices of the sheep
were hardly KO firm as at the previous sale, but some of
the pens realised 74s lid per head out of the wool. 60
fat and store beasts were disposed of. The beasts fetched
as high as EN 18v; and there were about 150 pigs. The
total sum realised £3.200. Mr. B. Wooldridge, of the
firm of Oates, Perrens, and Wooldridge, conducted the
sale.

ENGLISH CHARITY AND FRENCH

correspondent (“H.F.'') has sent the following to iw
Tinges :
Many of your readers may be glad to learn that the
anthltritish fee hug aupposed to exist of late iu France
has experienced a decided reaction—even in Faris. A
movement has very sacently been set on foot to give
some sort of national expression to the gratitude,
widely felt in Fronue, for the eympathy and help 14
England, and the movement promises to be thoroughly
succep.pful. Committees are in course of formation,
composed from all shades of politics; subscription lists
have been opened, and everywhere the notion is warmly
welcomed and encouraged. M. Henri Legrand, the
prime mover of the 'diva- in Paris, informs me that the
shape of the te.timonial (or whatever it may be cailPd
will met likely be a quast-hilitorieNl painting by one
of the foremost French artiets, who are even now In.
vited to send in competitive sketches. This picture,
to be ultimately presented to the British nation, will
be accompanied by a monster album, containing the
autographs of all the leading men of France.
It is moire satisfac,ion to know that English kind.
linear is imt altogether unappreciated across the
Channel.

Trustees are in possession for an infant, and the plain.

The case has excited extraordinary interest In the

THE MARKETS.

MARK-LAICE —MoNDIY.

Last week an increasing export demand absorbed a con-
siderable quantity of wheat, nearly 10,000 quarters going
from London. Under tlibi influence and the season continu-
ing winterly, the prices of wheat and fleur are advancing, and
there Le this morning a good Inquiry for English wheat at Is.
advance, some holders refusing to sell except for 2s. more
money. Foreign wheat is also dearer, and realises Is. per
quarter improvement. The supplies into London last week
were very moderate of all articles, excepting of oats, which
arrvie In bulk from Russia. Riga alone sends 2, 000 quarters.
New American meson, offered at 3.",5., last week's quotation,
and sells hut slow') ; beans and barley are firm at extreme
quotations. Oats can be had at MI. decline from Friday, or
Is. thi. from this day week. Fresh orders to buy are In the
hands of French agenda, and Ii ur follows the advance of
wheat. The ships of grain and seed now on persica are 226,
against 200 In 1070 and 216 in 1869, but only one arrived cargo
is now on Weed coast. The position of the corn trade is
healthy, buyers and sellers more closely agreeing than they
have done for weeks past.
MARK LANF..—WEbNEII.Ie.
Although the busineu passing was limited, the tons of
the market was firm, owing to the continuance of cold
weather. There was a small show of English wheat, which
changed hands at fully the late advance. Foreign wheat was
In good supply and retail r.q lest, at extreme prices barley
was purchased slowly, but prices were maintained Malt was
dull, but unaltered In value. With oats the market was well
supplied. Trade ruled Inactive, at Monday's reduction.
Beans and Peas were in slow demand, at about previous
quotations. Country fi dn. was firm, and the recent Improve-
ment was thoroughly sustained. Other descriptions Were
quiet and unchanged In value.

METROPOLITAN CAULK MARKET.-.WN1.17.

There has been a continuance of flrmneu in the cattle
trade to-day, and prices have been well maintained. The
show of beasts have been good, and the quality of the
arrivals from our own grazing districts have been satisfactory.
For all breeds the inquiry hu been healthy and pricee have
risen 2d. per bib. The best Scots and crones have made
P. 61. to 6.. Bd. per Sib., the latter quotation, however, being
exceptional. Prom Norfolk, Sollik, Essex and Cambridge-
shire we received about 1,600 Scots and crosses, from
other parts of England about 10 various breeds, and from
ScoVand I/11 Scots and cruses. The market Mu been well
supplied with sheep. hales have progrened steadily, and
full rates have been obtained for the best Downs, and half -
bred, have changed hands at 6s. 21. to Cs. 41. per Sib. lambs

Coroner, on the body of a boy named Frank Moss, aged
9 years, who was drowned in the Staffordshire and Wor.
cestershire Canal, at Stewponey Lock,on Saturday last.

Wharf, and in a few minutes afterwards was missed by a
brother who was in charge of the boat. Search was
made and the body was found in the canal. It was re-
moved to the Hotel and every means taken to restore
life but without *acct.'s. The jury (Mr. Nash, foreman),
returned a verdict of '• Accidentally drowned.'"f he boy
who was not in the habit of boating, had been permitted
by hie mother, is woman residing at Birmingham, to cc-
ompany his brother, and it is supposed that he awoke
op suddenly and in getting out of the boat on the wrong
side he fell into the water.

quest was adjourned to Juue Bth. P.S. Baldwin has

A WELL•DESERVED HONOUR TO MISS
BURDETT COUTTS.

" We (Times) :.re enabled to announce that this dis-
tinguished lady has accepted a Peerage. We have espe-
cial pleasure in learning that the name which has been
ennobled by a life of generous riuniticence will not be
lost in some obscure territolial designation, and that
the only difference will he in the prefix. Miss Burdett
Coutts will be the Baroness Burdett Coutta."
Referring to this well merited honour, and appreciation of
• hfe devoted to the causer of humanity, the Deity News re-
marks:—

A grace-fat compliment has been paid to a lady who,
for a considerable number of years, has played a muM-
ticent part in innumerable works of charity and pbilan-
throphy. In the elevation of Miss Burdett Coutts to
the Peerage, it is hard ti say whether she or the Peer-
age receives the more honour. Her generous and in.
defatigable labour. in all that concerns the welfare of
the poorer classes of the community have not only done
an immense deal of good in themselves, but have set
an example which a large number of other ladies
have been proud to follow. Miss Burdett Cuutts,
it is true, has made beneficence the }mariness rather
than the amusement of her life, and has devoted
towards the numerous schemes and projects which
have won her support, sums which represent in the
aggregate a fortune. Her many friends and the
innumerable recipients of her bounty will not be sorry
to learn that, as a Peeress, she will still wear the name
which has been associated with so many chnritable
works. Baroness Burdett Coutts is a title which, we
confess, has an odd sound about it; but it retains the
link between its wearer and the history of our recent
social improvements in which her name has been
frequently inscribed. Doubtless, too, the new title
will be associated with further developments of that
charitable mission to which Miss Burdett Coutts ha
devoted her life.

LAND TENURE REFORM.

A public meeting was held, on Monday evening, at the
Freemssons"ravern, Great Queen-street, London, on the
question of lend tenure In Ws country, which was very
numerously attended.

Mr. J. S. Mill presided, and made a long speech ex-
planatory of the programme of the Land Tenure Asso-
ciation, under whose auspices, and for the promotion of
whose principles, the meeting was called. The defects
of land tenure he traced to the fact of landlords making
the laws which concerned themselves, and in the course
of his enumeration of these defects he expressed the
opinion that land which had hitherto been tied up
stagnant in the hands of the idler, the spendthrift' or
the incapable, would benefit by being transferred to
the hands of the skilful, energetic, and enterprising.
Land, he contended, should be as marketable a com-
modity—bought and sold with as little legal restriction
—as any other article of commerce, lle held that all
landed property was subject to the will of the state. By
land he meant the whole raw material of the ground—
under ground as well as above it—and this not having
been made by man, but being the gift of nature to the
whole human race, could only be appropriated by the
assent of society.

The Hon. Ly-ulph Stanley moved the first resolu-
tion as follows

" That the rights of landed proprietors, which, being the
creation of law, can only be sustained as means to the
neral good, are so Interpreted In existing legislatim that
Ibis object is greatly sacrificed to the wealth and Importance
of a clan; and that the law of landed tenure, and the prac-
tice of Parliament with respect to the laud, require such
alterations as may bring them back to their legitimate pur-
poses."

Sir C. W. Dilke, Bart., M.P., seconded the reso-
lution, arguing that commons should be kept as open
spaces. The principle of the Commons Preservation
Society, of which he was president, was to prevent
felony in the matter of public property.
Subsequent resolutions were spoken to by the Hon.
Auberon Herbert, M.P., Mr. A. Illinssworth,
Mr. A. Johnstone, Captain Mane, do., and
all were passed with acclamation.
