The balance-sheet 1862-3 and the annual report of the
committee will be submitted at the usual yearly meeting
next December.
The candidates for the two auditors to be elected by the
shareholders this day, under Rule 30, are the Rev. Wm.
George Goodchild, Mr. James Goad, and Mr. Harding.
The committee have the pleasure to state that they have re-
elected Wm. Astbury, Esq., and Newnham Winstanley,
Esq., as their two auditors, and when the members have
nominated their two auditors, the society's accounts for the
past year will be audited in due course.
The Henwick Road Estate, West Worcestershire, was
allotted at Worcester, on the 27th of August, after a public
meeting, at which Sir E. Lechaiere, Bart., presided, and at
which Viscount Ranelagh, the Hon. and Rev. W, Talbot,
the Hon. Robert Bourke, attended as a deputation from the
Board, to explain the general working of the society, and
the mode of allotment of estates. The meeting was highly
satisfactory, and the sale of land has been equally so ; and
as the Renwick Road Estate is within an easy walk of
Worcester and of a first-class station, has a gravelly soil,
stands high, with fine views of the Malvern Hills, the pro-
perty bids fair to be speedily built upon,
The Ipswich estate was offered for sale on the Bth of July,
after a publi3 meeting, at which Viscount Ranelagh wss
the chairman, supported by J. C. Cobbold, Esq., M.P., the
Hon. and Rev. W. Talbot, and Capt. Jervis, M.P., mem-
bers of the board. After some plots had been selected, a
wish was expressed by the inhabitants of the town that the
formation of a crescent, leaving an open space in front for
ornamental gardens, should be abandoned, and the whole of
the land thrown into allotment : a new plan has been issued
to meet the local views. Ihe estate adjoins the Handford
Hall Villas, and is close to the station, and is essentially
building land. Owing to the new line of railway which will
soon pass through the Kentish-town estate, it has been re-
quisite to issue a new plan of allotment for this increasing
neighbourhood, Tke station will be within a few yards of
the property. The second portion of the Woodhouse estate,
Wanstead, which will be offered for sale has been included
in a now plan, affording facilities for the erection of either
small or large houses, which are much required in this
healthy district. Tha executive committee will allot the
Avenue estate, lievois Mount, Southampton, after a public
meeting in that town, on Wednesday, the 21st of Octo-
ber. The land has been divided into 44 building plots,
ranging in price from £44 per plot up to £4lB. The 11th
anniversary was completed on the 7th of September last;
and the executive committee cannot enter on the 12th
year of the Conservative Land Society without a word of
congratulation to the shareholders on its prosperous pro-
gress, with a renewal of the assurance on the part of the
board, that no exertions shall be spared to secure its con-
tinuous prosperity.

CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of

he abused the clerk in terms which, proceeding from a
clergyman, greatly astonished the bystanders. It is said,
though we cannot vouch for the fact, that Mr. Henniker has
declared that he will not officiate at the burial of his pari-
shioners any more. It is understood that the rural dean
will visit Cauldon, and hold an investigation into Mr. Hen-
niker's conduct on the 23d inst.-Btafiordshire Sentinel.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

THE NAVY.

The gunboat Speedwell, Commander George F. Cottam,
has sailed from Greenhithe, after the adjustment of com-
passes, for her station on the West Coast of Africa, and
the iron storeship Supply, Master Commander Bowden, has
also sailed from Greenhithe, with a cargo of victualling and
dockyard stores from Deptford and Woolwich, for Gibraltar
and Malta.

The iron frigate Achilles, under construction at Chatham,
is to have her bottom covered with Hayes's composition to
prevent fouling before being undocked. At the request of
the Admiralty, Mr. Hays and Mr. Crispin are to inspect the
bottom of the iron steamer Recruit, to which both their
compositions were applied before the incrustations and ac-
cumulations on the bottom of that vessel are removed.

The screw steamer Victor, 6, 859 tons, 350-horse power,
belonging to the second division of the Chatham Steam Re-
serve, has been disposed of by the Admiralty, by public
tender, to Mr. Pearson, shipbroker, London, for the sum of
£9,500. By direction of the Admiralty she has been removed
to Sheerness, where she has been docked and examined, and
has since been placed in the great basin, where she is un-
dergoing a thorough overhaul and refit, and at the same
time supplied with a new rig, at the expense of the pur-
chaser. The Victor is a modern vessel of her class, and an
exceedingly fine ship, her sale, therefore, by the Admiralty
for the comparatively low sum stated has created consider-
able surprise. Her engines are in first-rate condition, re-
quiring little repair, and are_of themselves quite worth the
entire sum paid for the ship. The principal reason assigned
for the very low speed hitherto attained by this ship, consi-
dering her enormous engine power, is that her boilers are
placed too low and cannot pass the steam quickly enough to
the engines. This defect, however, can be easily and cheaply
remedied, and there is little doubt the Victor will ultimately
become an exceedingly fast and efficient ship in the hands
of private owners.

The Edgar, 71, screw line-of-battle ship, Capt. G. T. P.
Hofnley, flagship of Rear-Admiral of the White, Sidney,
Colpoys Decree, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief of the Channel
Fleet, went into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead on
Saturday for docking and refit.
The Salamander, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 320 horse power,
Mr. Vernon Jones, master in charge, after having been
fitted for the first division of the Sheerness Steam Reserve
and made ready for immediate commission, has been re-
taken into dock at Sheerness by orders from the Admiralty,
to be fitted with a new poop and to undergo other alterations
to render her fit for surveying services off the coast of Van-
couver's Island. The necessary alterations will take six
weeks to accomplish, after which the vessel will be c9mmis-
sioned, and proceed at once to that duty.
The name of the principal and other officers who were
connected with the accident which recently took place on
the occasion of docking the paddlewheel steamer Medusa,
4,312 horse power, at Sheerness, as reported in The Sun
have been forwarded to the Admiralty, together with a full
report of the circumstances connected with the occurrence,
preparatory to a full and stringent investigation as to the
alleged neglect which gave rise to the accident.

that the projectile is to be elongated and hardened at the

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.)

THE ARMY.
His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-
Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Wednesday, the 28th
inst.

The annexed general order, dated Horse Guards, the 10th
inst., has been promulgated by the Adjutant-General, Sir
J. Yorke Scarlett :

" His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-
in-Chief is pleased to approve of general officers command-
ing districts and divisions in Great Britain, and officers com-
manding in garrisons not included in any military district,
granting leave of absence to officers, and -furloughs to non-
commissioned officers and soldiers, under the following
regulations and restrictions, viz. :-1. Leave of absence
granted under this order to officers may commence on the
15th of October, or as soon after as the half-yearly inspec-
tion shall have been made. Furloughs granted to non-
commissioned officers and soldiers may commence from the
Ist of next month. 2. These indulgences are to terminate
on the 14th of March next, when, agreeably to her Ma-
jesty's regulations, all officers and soldiers are to be pre-
sent with their respective regiments and depots. 3. One
field-officer, one-half of the captains, and one-half of the
subaltern officers are always to be present. 4. No officer
(except in the performance of duty, or for the purpose of
joining his regiment) is to quit the United Kingdom with-
out having first received her Majesty's special per-
mission, according to the regulation on that head. 5.
Officers employed on the recruiting service or upon the Staff
of the army are not to be included in the number hereby
fixed for the constant duty of the regiment or depot. 6. The
applications for leave for regimental paymasters and medical
officers are to continue to be made in the mode prescribed in
the regulations and orders for the army. 7. In case of
short leave of absence being required by adjutants, riding-
masters, quartermasters, or veterinary surgeons of regi-
ments, it will be necessary that a special report be made as to
the mode in which their duties are to be performed during
their absence, and that their commanding officer is satisfied.
8. The proportion of non-commissioned officers, trumpeters,
drummers, and private men to whom furloughs may be
granted is not to exceed 20 per battery of horse and field
artillery, or ten per troop battery of garrison artillery or
company. Commanding officers of regiments returning
from India may exercise a liberal discretion in granting
furloughs to soldiers who come home with their corps,
W hen corps are not stationed in garrisons or military dis-
tricts, the officers commanding are at liberty to use their
discretion in granting the indulgence of leave of absence
under the foregoing restrictions, to the officers and soldiers
under their command, reporting the same to the Adjutant-
General. His Royal Highness expects that the general and
other officers who aro empowered to grant leave of absence
under the provisions of this order will strictly confine that
grant to the proportion of officers herein specified."
It is understood that the court-martial on Lieut.-Col.
Crawley will be held at the Club-house at Aldershot. No
date is yet notified for its commencement, but the proba-
bility is that it will take place about the middle of Novem-
ber. - - - -

WAR sAW, Oct. 8.
A barbarous scene was enacted here yesterday
in the courtyard of a private house which the Rus-
sians took upon themselves to turn into a place of
execution. A workman employed at the iron fac-
tory of Messrs. Evans and Co., had been arrested
in the street and found to have in his pocket some
hollow knobs of iron, one inch in diameter, and
which, according to some, were screws for iron bed-
steads, and according to others cases for grenades,
but which, by all accounts, would not, had they
been filled with fulminating powder, have been at
all formidable missiles. Having positively refused,
after numerous interrogatories, to state for whom
these passible bed screws and probable• grenade
cases had been made, he was ordered to be
shot, and at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
was deliberately executed in presence of his
fellow workmen, who were summoned by the police
the night before and forced to attend. The poor fel-
low had contravened a Russian police decree, and it
is likely enough that he may have meant the bits of
iron which he carried in his pocket to be used against
the men with whom his country is at war. But,
however that may have been, every Pole who can
read and write has aided the resent insurrection
against Russia in some form or other, and hence the
workman convicted of having carried grenades in
his pocket is Justly looked upon by his fellow•citi,
zens as a man who, in the fullest sense of the word,
has suffered for his country—as a man who had done
the same sort of thing that every other Pole has
done, and will continue to do, but who, having been
feounned,
out, had to bear the penalties consequent upon
detection. The courtyard of Messrs. Evans's factory
for some hours before the execution was occupied
and guarded from the outside by as many as 2,000
troope and no one was allowed to go in or out of the
place ,
after 8 o'clock. The prisoner, who has left a
widow
shirt
and several children, put on the condemned
himself, and died with the
greatest firmness.

If bombs were thrown from the Zamoyski house

It appears that the affair between the Russian Go-
vernment and Messrs. Evans is not yet at an end.
As if annoyed at having had to rescind one of its

A divisional field-day, ordered, according to popular
rumour, in anticipation of the presence of the King of the
Greeks and his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, took
place at Aldershot on Wednesday. At 10 o'clock the
division was formed up on Claycart-ridge, and immediately
afterwards advanced to the westward. It proceeded to
Eelmoor, then wheeled to the right, and manoeuvred to the
northward. About two hours were spent in performing
evolutions, and on their termination the troops marched
past.
The half-yearly inspections at Aldershot have been con-
tinued during the past week. Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Penne-.
father, K. c. 8., inspected the D and H batteries of the 'royal
Horse Artillery on Wednesday, and the A battery, 4th bri-
gade. Major-Gen. Russell,
C. 8., inspected the Royal Engi-
neers, wader Col. Simmons, on Tuesday and Wednesday—
the 24th company, under Capt. W, A. Frankland, on their
private parade ; and the 2d company, under Capt. Harrison,
at Bourley-bottom. Brigadier-Gen. Bates inspected the
Commissariat Staff Corps on Monday, the corn panics under
command of Assist.-Commissary-Gen. Fagan, being formed
up in quarter-distance column, on their parade ground. The
inspecting generals on each occasion expressed their appro-
bation at the appearance and discipline of the troops, and
the well-ordered internal economy of the respective regi-
ments.
The 76th Regiment will leave Aldershot in two divisions
to-morrow, and proceed to Portsmouth, where they will em-

The police of Warsaw can find bullets wherever
they please ; but even if it were certain that they
would always conduct their researches in the fairest
manner the proprietor of a factory would still be
liable at any moment to be ruined, and sure to be
ruined if the Government desired it. The workmen
of Warsaw began the insurrection. Numbers of
them are at this moment with detachments in the
field, and those who remain at their ordinary occu-
pations are at the same time doing all they can to
help the insurgents. To pretend that their actions
can be constantly controlled by their employers is
more than unreasonable.
The ironworks of Messrs. Evans and Co. must
necessarily be closed. Polish factory owners will,
it is said, not be allowed to shut up.
I find that whenever any act of tyranny is per-
formed or meditated here the Russians turn naturally
to Imperial France, and ask what the French Go-
vernment would have done, or woul.d probably do,
under similar circumstances. It is a favourite boast
in France that French ideas penetrate everywhere,
and they certainly have penetrated here, As the
Russians, when they were trying to raise themselves,
demanded in their assemblies the introduction of
reforms based on the principles of the English Con-
stitution, so, now that they are degrading themselves,
they inquire what in their present case the Emperor
of the French would do. " When Napoleon's troops
were fired upon from a house in Dec., 1851, he did
not content himself with arresting the inmates and
bringing them to trial," they remark ; and they are
now considering whether he did not, in January,
1852, cause employers of labour to keep their work-
shops open so as to prevent disaffected artisans from
being turned out idle upon the streets. It is as easy
to introduce such ideas as these from France as it
is to put French forage caps upon the heads of Rus-
sian soldiers—a change, by the way, which has
given to the old Muscovite bear somewhat the ap-
pearance of a monkey. Some day, perhaps, when
the present madness of Russia has ceased, the Rus-
sians will discover that there is something better to
imitate in France than its administrative despotism,
which joined to the original Russian despotism of
Oriental pattern gives a result that neither East
nor West can stand.

I have already had occasion to mention that the
Polish newspapers published in Warsaw never men-
tion or allude in any manner to Polish affairs. One
might imagine from the contents of these sheets
that no such place as Poland existed. On the other
hand the Russian journals which arrive here from
St. Petersburg and Moscow speak with considerable
freedom, and not always with admiration, of what
is now taking place in this unhappy country. A
letter from Warsaw published in the St. Petersburg
Valornoste gives an account of the sacking of the
Zamoyski house, which is very like the accounts
printed in the foreign papers with the adjectives and
adverbs left out. Thus the writer tells us that the
soldiers destroyed 6,000 volumes belonging to Pro-
fessor Kowalewaki, and that he heard a Pole atPiotr-
kow say that several persons were killed during the
pillage, and that an infant in its cradle was thrown
out into the street from a fourth, floor window.
Such words as "infamous," "barbarous," &e., are
not once used in the description; nor, indeed, are
they necessary.

The truth, by the way, as to the cradle story is
that a cradle was thrown out of window, but there
was no child in it.

who had taken upon himself the responsibility of
what Mr. Giadstone afterwards described as " the
most gigantic and the most dangerous inn3vatiort
that has been attempted in our time."
But an old man, a very old man, enters the house.
His lower limbs seem almost helpless, and he is as-
sisted with pious care by a brother peer. The old
man is led, almost carried, indeed, to his usual seat.
That seat has now become historic, like the Great
Duke's, or the cross bench now occupied by the
heir apparent. It is a seat on the second bench be-
hind Lord Derby, but at its extreme end, nearest to
the bar, and consequently next to the gangway.
Great sensation is excited by the appearance of this
venerable old senator, and still more wonder is felt
when the spectators observe that a little hand-rail
covered with red cloth—the only one in the House
—has been affixed to the back of the bench below,
so as to enable the aged peer to grasp it and address
their lordships without falling. It
is Lord Lynd-
hurst, who enters that day on his eighty-ninth y, r,
and is about to celebrate his birthdwy by a
which, as we can already predict, will be accepted
by all the peers on his own side of the House as
perfectly conclusive and unanswerable.
The debate is opened by Earl Granville, who
moves the second reading of the bill. His smiling,
good-humoured face prepossesses the audience in his
favour, but his style is that of one who tries to coax
by a persuasive tone rather than convince by incon-
trovertible arguments. He twitters round his sub-
ject, and pecks at it, like a sparrow amusing him-
self with an empty periwinkle. He holds weapons
of the best edge and temper, but handles them feebly
and inartistically, and too often ekes out a weak
thrust by a jocose smile. After a long speech, in.
which he • quotes many authorities in literature
against the paper duty, Lord Granville resumes his
seat.

What do we see now ? The venerable figure that
we saw enter the House is showing signs of life
and animation. He grasps his hand-rail, and, after
two or three convulsive efforts, gains his feet. His
lower limbs are so weak that he dare not let go his
hold, for fear of falling either forward or back-
ward. Sir Charles Barry's magnificent chamber
has never offered a more curious and remarkable
spectacle than it presents at this moment from the
members' gallery. The Liberal peers who sit on
the opposite benches look at the old man with
visible interest, but of course without movement or
change of position. Not so the peers on his own
side of the House. They are compelled to turn on
their seats, and thus rows of eager, anxious, in-
quiring faces, in which admiration and respect are
equally blended, are upturned to view as they are
directed to the aged orator. It is impossible to
describe the intense interest with which men of all
parties and statesmen of both houses listen to an
old man who has come to bo viewed as the Nestor
of his time. The Iron Duke, even in the later days
of his lite, was scarcely regarded with so much
pride and respect. That a statesman who is almost
a nonagenarian should address their lordships at all,
is almost unparalleled in Parliamentary annals.
But that a peer of so great an age should bear the
brunt of a debate, should "get up" a constitutional
question, and exhaust all the precedents and
arguments bearing upon the privilege in dispute,
may safely be said to be unexampled in the history
of modern Europe. With slow and measured speech,
only occasionally inaudible; with masterly self-
possession ; taking full time to collect his thoughts
in the pauses between his sentences, and deliberately
choosing his words as he goes along, the noble and
venerable peer defends the privileges of the House
of Peers, and contends for the constitutional right
of that estate of the realm to reject Mr. Gladstone's
bill, if financial difficulties and a dark and troubled
European horizon warned their lordships to inter-
fere. Loud and long were the cheers that greeted
the close of his masterly speech. The love of praise,
that " last infirmity of noble minds," was by no
means dead in Lord Lyndhurst, and the old man
was evidently gratified by the plaudits and the ad-
miration he excited. While other men of fewer
years have sought to gratify their craving for noto-
riety by rushing into eccentricity, his cool judgment
led him to eschew all singularity except that de-
rived from legitimate oratorical distinction. As
they listened to his peroration the peers could not
help thinking that they might be listening to the
honied and persuasive accents of the venerable
Nestor for the last time. Every one felt that the
scene they were gazing at possessed a certain his-
torical interest. Some Royal Academician may
yet try and make a picture of the ancient lawyer
on his legs, with every peer on the Opposition
side turning round to look at him.
When he lets go the hand-rail, and sinks into his
seat, the old man falls back with such a want of
elasticity that nothing but an apparatus of pulleys
and chains seems likely to lift him on his legs again.
When he leaves the house, the Earl of Lucan well
nigh carried him out, and one would scarcely have
been surprised if the Crimean general had, like
pious tEneas, seized the old man, and borne him
out on his shoulders. When the division takes place,
and Lord Chancellor Campbell announces the num-
bers to be—For the Paper Duty Bill, 104; against
it, 193; astonishment at so unexpected a majority
for an instant arrests the Derbyite cheer. When it,

WORCES'2ER, Oct. 19.
The Michaelmas quarter sessions for the county
of Worcester have been opened hers to-day, and
among other subjects brought under discussion
were prison discipline and capital punishment. The
Earl of Dudley, chairman of the court, presided,
and there was a very full bench of magistrates,
among whom were Lord Lyttelton, Lord North-
wick, Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, Bart., M.P., &c.
A report, presented by the visiting magistrates
of the gaol, was read, recommending, inter alia,
that for the future the prisoners' bedding, instead
of mattresses, should be boards, with proper cover-
ing for warmth, for the first month of their con-
finement. The question of selecting a place for
erecting a public scaffold having also been referred
to the visiting magistrates, they recommended a
site, but that nothing should be done until a capital
sentence had actually been passed.
Sir J. PAKINGTON approved of the proposal for
sleeping the prisoners on boards, but objected to
defer action with respect to the treadwheel (which
it was recommended should not be used again for
associating prisoners on it) until the Legislature
had settled the question of prison discipline.
The Earl of DUDLEY explained that the object
was to keep the separate system, and then went
on to express his approval of the proposition of
the visiting magistrates to defer erecting a
scaffold until a capital sentence was actually
passed—an event which he hoped might be long
deferred. He considered a public execution was
nothing more than a public spectacle of a
most demoralising tendency, and he added
an opinion that the railway companies which
helped this abominable system for their own profit
ought to be brought to a better sense of the duty
which they owed to the public. It was true, as
was stated, that the late Sir Joshua Jebb (who was
known for his humane tendencies in the matter of
prison discipline) recommended " hard fare, hard
beds, and hard work" as the most serviceable means
for the reformation of offenders, he thought they
could not no better than adopt it. Ho (the Earl of
Dudley) would have every prisoner commence his
imprisonment (for whatever term he might be sen-
tenced) with the severer treatment applied to pri-
soners for short terms. He would not propose to
wait for that undefined period when the Legislature
should have settled the general question of prison
bat would suggest that they should pro•
teed at once to employ such means as they had in
their power for the suppression of crime. (Hear,
bear.)
Sir J. PAKINGTON replied to the remark of the
noble earl on the subject of capital punishments, and
said he did not object to the recommendation that
no steps should be taken for erecting a public
scaffold until a capital sentence should have been
passed, if, by deferring operations, there would still
be left sufficient time should the emergency arise.
Lord Dudley had expressed a hope that the time
for using the scaffold would be long deferred. If
by that remark he meant that no capital
crime would be committed he hoped
in the district, he (Sir
John Pakington) heartily joined in the wish. But
if he meant to express a hope that whatever crime
WAS committed no capital punishment would follow,
he (Sir John Pakington) could not agree with him.
He was not prepared to express an opinion that
when the life of a man was taken by the law that
sentence should be carried out in private. On the
contrary, he thought that so long as capital ptluii'.b-
tuelit was intlieled it should be
and not in private. carried out IV
The discussion then ceased.
