SCHOOL OF DESIGN AT STOURBRIDGE.—On Mon-
day a numerous and respectable meeting was held at Stour-
bridge, for the purpose of adopting measures to found a
choul of design for that town, and resolutions in accordance
with that object were unanimously adopted.
FINSBURY FREEHOLD LAND SOClETY.—Yesterday
evening a public meeting of the members and supporters of
Institution,
in society was held at the Finsbury Mechanics'
in the City-road, for the purpose of hearing a statement of
the principles and progress of the movement. and enrolling
members. Mr. Young was called to the chair, and entered
into an explanation of the principles, and the social and
political objects in view. Of the whole number of societies
of this kind established in this country now amounting to
GO or 70, with 16,000 members, upwards of 40,000 shares,
and somewhere about 5,000 allotments ; he knew not of one
where the security was not only most ample, but much profit
had already accrued to the members. 31r. Beale, in mov-
ing the first resolution, dwelt on the importance of the free-
hold land movement as a political means, contrasting the
present immobility of the country constituencies with the
state of affairs in 1831, when 35 out of 40 counties were in
favour of reform, and when nominees of lordly houses in
Westmoreland, Cumberland, Dorset, Hants, and other
counties were signally defeated. These and other places had
now become the stronghold of a political reaction, which
could only be overcome by means of the freehold land move-
ment. He dwelt at considerable length on the important
social aspects of the movement, in its rapid progress
throughout the country, and on the many claims it pre-
sented to public confidence, especially of the working classes,
so one of the best investments for their savings. A sum of
200,000/. bad already been collected throughout thecountry,
which testified that the movement had the confidence of
the people. It had attractions for the investment of the
savings of working men more than almost any other insti-
tution. If a working man joined a benefit society, in the
course of 20 years he must sink the greater portion of his
spare capital, with the most trifling benefit to his family
after death ; but the Freehold Land Society was the means
of yielding a speedy return, and the capital was still available.
: Instances could be mentioned in which profits of from M. to

10/. have accrued on an outlay of 18/. or :20/. in the purchase
of land acquired through these societies. Ile particularly
urged on those present to apply the income which might
he derived from the freeholds in assuring their lives. A
capital of 20/. invested in a freehold would yield a sum suf-
ficient to pay the premium on a life insurance for 1501., and
the freehold still remain and would remain to the family of
the assurer over and above the amount of the policy. (Neer,
hear.) The Finsbury Freehold Land Society, although
only established for a few months, had already made con-
siderable progress, and he had to congratulate the meeting
on the near prospect of a purchase of land being
concluded by the society on very advantageous terms. He
concluded by, moving a resolution expressive of the confidence
of the meeting in the society. Mr. Hopkins, a working
man seconded the resolution in as amusing speech, in
which he detailed his own experience of the benefits of this
movement in teaching the working men habits of frugality.
Ile urged on his working class hearers to leave off drinking
and begin thinking, and they would not be long before
they became freeholders, equal at the polling booth on the
election day to the best nobleman in the land. The
meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Kesson, of Man-
chester, and other gentlemen, and the proceedings termi-
nated by the enrolment of a considerable number of new
shareholders.

THE LIABILITY OF RAILWAY COMFANIF.S.—A case
of some importance to railway. companies and to the general
public was heard yesterday in the Liverpool court before
Mr. James, barrister, the deputy judge. The plaintiffs
were Messrs. Jeffery and Morrish, the proprietors of the
celebrated drapery establishment in Liverpool known as
Compton House, and they sued the London and North West-
ern Company for the value of a box of silk worth 171., which
had been lost during its conveyance from Liverpool to Messrs.
BaMance and Sons' establishment, Gutter-lane, London.
Mr. H. Tindal Atkinson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Blair, barrister for the railway company. Evidence was
called, which left beyond doubt, that on the 19th of October
last the silk in question had been packed up, and duly deli-
vered at the goods depot. In three days afterwards a box,
which was supposed to have contained the goods, was left at
Messrs. Salience's, but feeling light, was opened
in the presence of the railway porter, and discovered to he
empty ; and the hypothesis was set up that the box must
have been opened on the journey, the silk abstracted, and
that it bad then been nailed down again. The value
of the silk was sought to be recovered from the railway com-
pany on the ground of their gross negligence. The grounds
of defence were numerous: the Carriers Act was set up as
a protection, and it appeared that Messrs. Jeffery had not
specially made known to the railway authorities that the box
in question contained silk or other valuable commodities.
It was also contended that the identity of the box had not
been made out, and that the case fur the plaintiff was devoid
of requisite proof that the silk had been stolen by one of
the railway servants. The judge, in summing up,
instructed the jury that before they could find
for the plaintiff, they must be satisfied, not only that a
felony had been committed, but that it had been eommitted
by one of the galway servants. The jury returned a,ver-
dut for the Plaintiff for the full amount of damages elaffised.
A number of tradesmen were in court during the trial, and
the proceedings seemed to create great interest.
