SUE TRADE FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.

Last evening a very crowded meeting of the friends
and supporters of this very successful society was held
at the Horns Tavern, Kennington. Among the gentle-
tuna present we observed Sir H. Winston Barron,
• 2art., Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson, Lieutenant-Colonel
'.qrr Captain John Bishop-Culpeper, Fred. A. Daviss,
.Dickinson, Esq., John Gate, Esq., Joseph Gimson,
1-.• C. Grattan, Esq., Jenkin Jones, Esq., S. M. Mar-
ale, Esq Esq., Thoas Potts, Esq., W. rehaine, jun.,
Esq'' T. C. Unwin, Esq., S. P. Hook, Esq.,
Vigers, Esq., Belcher, Esq., and many other
nighlyinfluential gentlemen.
S•
hortly after the hour appointed, the chair was taken
°Y Sir H. WINSTON BARRON, Bart.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the
„evening, said he had been most unexpectedly called
'Pon to preside over this meeting. It had been ex-
Pected that the chair that evening would have been
filled by the Hon. W. Napier, but the committee had
received a letter of apology regretting much his inability
to attend here that evening. Originally it had been in-
tended that Dr. Evans should preside, but a letter had also
een received from that gentleman, stating that family
circumstances unfortunately prevented him the pleasure
of fulfilling the duties of chairman that evening. Under
the circumstances ofdisappointment from two gentlemen,
far more able than he (the Chairman), it was wholly
unexpected that he would be called upon to fulfil
the office of chairman. Gentlemen, by the title of our
society, viz., the Free Trade Freehold Land Society, it
?alight be looked upon as a strictly political society; such
Is not the case—we are in the plain meaning of the
be bought
for free trade in land. We want that land should
Lie bought and sold as easy as you buy or sell in the
Public funds, as easy as you buy in the Three per Cent.
Consols or Exchequer Bills. That is the meaning of
cur title. We take the equitable and English mode of
tthring every man an easy and a constitutional mode of
acquiring land by his own industry. Our mode is not
ssly constitutional, but it is eminently conservative in
the strict sense of the word. (Cheers.) Any man pos-
sessing land feels at once that he has an interest in
~ssing violent changes, in checking disorder, and in
'''staining the peace and prosperity of this great and
Powerful country. He is, in fact, a conservator of the
Psaoe of the country, of! our laws, and of our institu-
tions. (Cheers.) We do not wish to enter into oppo-
sition with other societies with similar objects to our
"s• Our object is to enter into honourable competition
With the most successful of them, feeling sure that
there is room enough for all. One society with objects
similar to our own had fixed the shares asshigh ns
'1)1-, others at 301., but at the latter sum cases have
t'seurred in which the receiving barrister has refused
the franchise. We have pursued a medium course, we
have fixed ours at 401., so that no fear need be enter-
rled of such a result in this society. This is one of the
41oProvements we have made, and another is that we do
hot in the most remote degree interfere with the manner in
Which the possessor of the franchise, obtained through
the instrumentality of this society, may please to exer-
Zs° it On the contrary, we consider it tyranny to at-
tempt to interfere in the free exercise of that right.
(Cheers.) We wish all to exercise that privilege as free
44,_ air, and without the slightest opposition or bad feel-
Lag- We claim a preference at your hands—our views
• perfect freedom, and a determination of not med-
1▪ "ing with the political opinions of others. Gentle-
, it is thought that in a very short time the charge
for quarterage will be abolished, such being under the
consideration of the executive committee. Agreeing in
°l3inion with those with whom he (the chairman) had
the4_ honour of acting, he thought he might be permitted
nay that freehold land societies had created a perfect
reVolution, but, at the same time, a peaceful revolu-
ti°l2 not a violent one—not a French revolution—but a
• revolution that would raise and elevate the industrious
classes of this mighty land. (Cheers.) We believe that
these societies hold out the safest, the plainest, the
strongest inducement to the industrious classes to culti-
`ate frugality, prudence, forethought, temperance, and
independence. (Cheers.) They afford a safe investment
for his capital—they offer him a good investment for his
Pital—they offer him a permanent and solid interest
for himself and children's children in the soil of England.
(Cheers.) Trade may languish, manufactures may
decay, banks may fail, but land remains unchanged and
.nchangeable. What a proud position for a man to say to
aus children I have, by my honest industry, procured for
you this land, this house, this home—you pay no rent
--You are lords of the soil. Keep this inheritance for
Your children, and shew them what I have done by
honest industry, and teach them to do likewise. Not
so the law of France. The French, by a revolutionary
and violent law forced parents to divide their lands
aMongst their children without reference to their con-
duct or character. (Great applause.) Gentlemen, what
is the one great object of the Indian nabob, the London
millionaire, the Manchester cotton lord, and the Liver-
pool shipowner ? Why to purchase land. (Cheers.)
ey all look forward as the acme of their hopes, the
end and object of all their toils and all their exertions, to
possess a park, a mansion, and a freehold portion in the
Soil of this favoured country, which they call their own
s'a spot where they can retire to in dignified repose,
ay his is my own native land. (Loud
cheers,)wiitl True as all this is of those who are blessed
uence, it is equally true, the same prin-
h ciple, '"e self-same feeling exists. in the heart of
umblest mechanic. Great as has been the revolution
created by the magnificent discoveries of the power-loom,
gas, steamboats, railways, and the electric telegraph, a
greater and more magnificent revolution will be worked
out when freehold land societies become fully developed.
(Loud applause.) Besides this, look at the independence
Of the thing—(cheers)—to be enabled to leave to his
children that for which he toiled in the firm assurance
that nothing can take from them that which his exertions
had secured to them. Why, by abstaining from one
glass of gin or one cigar a day, a man mi ;lit in a short
time become enabled to own sufficient land on which to
build a house. (Cheers.) Look at the practical com-
mon sense of the thing. A society like ours offered as
ani, investment far more solid security than the savings
bank, where, from the failure of two or three gentlemen,
not accountable to law, the whole of his hard-earned say-
2gs might be irrecoverably lost. Not so in societies like
The
every one of the gentlemen were accountable to law.
;fie very day that money is lodged with us it is trans-
`erred either to the Commercial Bank of London or to
Messrs. Herries, Farquhar, and Co., of either of which
establishments there cannot be a doubt as to security,
and cannot be again withdrawn unless 16 gentlemen
?nation its withdrawal. If any gentlemen present can
eggest anyth;ng more secure than this, we shall be

a ueers.) Gentlemen, this society possessing all the
eenrity and all the respectability you have been made
4°lnainted with, cannot hope to escape calumny.
Be thou chaste as ice—as pure as snow,
Thou shall not escape calumny.
Lileern-) Gentlemen, whatever insinuations may be
own out against us, inquire as to their truth—we
court' inquiry --(cheers)—we have a glorious object in
mew, and therefore court inquiry—ask inquiry. We
re not a mere parish society ; we have no confined,
Petty,l, narrow views—no. (Cheers.) And when he (the
itairiman) looked around at the talent as well as intel-
lect at the back of the society, he could have no doubt
as to its general success. He would, in resuming his
seat
~again say, Wl3 ask your inquiry—we court your
ea,. The hon. baronet resumed his seat amid loud
caring,
Mr. MARTINDALE then came forward to expain the ob-
lZs4B of the society, and in doing so entered at length into
e advantages offered by the society both as an investment
for saving and a commercial speculation. To show the be-
he4l of
purchasing land in the manner the society did,
would mention a case that occurred in Birmingham,
here some working men wishing to purchase land were
asked the sum of 3s. 3d. per foot, this they could not
afford.
They formed a society, banded themselves
together and purchased that very land at the rate o
fe,-vld. per foot, thus saving at least 200 per cent. This
'4,c; vantage resulted from making the purchase wholesale.
his society, founded on the 15th of August last, not
fur months ago, after paying every expense, had now a
co
nsiderable fund at their bankers. The estate at Cam-
berwell was intended for houses of the value of from
20/. to 301. per annum, and he believed he might say,
it would be allotted at 2s. 6d. or 35., the worth being
about 6s. or Bs., thereby securing an immediate profit
to any one who might feel disposed to sell his right. He
had a long list of prices at which rights had been sold ; in
some cases 31. had been realised ; in another, 30/. ; and
in another 150/., but this was not an every day
occurrence.
Col. STARR said—Gentlemen, the resolution I have
ithe honour to move, reads as follows :—"That ' Free-
nold Land Societies recommend themselves to all classes
an the most simple, the most advantageous, and the most
secure of all investments, elevating the humblest indi-
Zidual in the social and political scale, and enabling him
en every means • to become a possessor of a stake in the
tttrY, a freehold, and a home." Gentlemen, after
the very eloquent and able speech of the chairman, and
him v I
thinkerylcid statement of the gentleman who followed
til my first obseriration should be one of cen-
th:e on both those gentlemen, for the manner in which
417 have laid the subject before you, making it exceed-
thg difficult for those gentlemen who have to follow

of t, • Gentlemen, our worthy chairman had told you
upon the
effects and importance of freehold land societies

follieeLY is not to distribute lucky numbers, but that of

Gentle we deserve your personal regard. (Cheers.)
Mleo wlllen, I will not offer my fanciful remarks, but

ortreas '3, we all know how soon he can be deprived of his

Ooirid thef this society he has placed himself

",11 .rrit gentleman then passed a glowing eulogium
l.ucied-
Llrtunate possessor of a freehold house, and con-
'ircltgoutt'sereniat EiT with the following quotation from

141). 4318; ill a few words, briefly seconded the re-
• 9
411:?•,C4RATTAIT, in moving the second resolution,
—ll4 Iloote—" That the Free Trade Freehold

Land Society merits our strenuous support ; first, from
the energy and success which has characterised its pro-
gress ; secondly, from its perfect freedom of all party
objects ; and, thirdly, from the respectability of its
managers"—said, Gentlemen, I think the safest course
for me to follow under the circumstances would have
been simply to read the resolution, and then resume my
seat, for, being one of the committee, I feel it exceed-
ing awkward to speak to a resolution complimenting
the society, and the respectability of its managers.
(Laughter.) Our worthy chairman has told you that
this society is not a political one ; yet it is not because
this society is not political it follows, as a matter of
course, its managers have no political opinions or con-
victions. I assure you many of us are politicians, and
many of us might become strenuous partizans ; and al-
though we do not know the political opinions of others,
and it would not be judicious in these shifting times to ask
them, in my opinion a man without party is but the
shadow of a man—(cheers)—and a politician without party
is a man without a shadow—an unreal mockery. (Cheers.)
To show the importance of this, let us suppose two
allottees, having made each others acquaintance during
the building of his villa, they meet in the same polling
booth, both vote for the same men, and go off, arm
in arm, better friends than ever ; and two others
meet under similar circumstances, their votes are op-
posed to each other, and after the voting has been
gone through, they recognise each other, and exclaim,
how fortunate we neither of-us know the politics of the
other, or we should not have been such good neighbours.
They exchange civilities—and walk off as the others had
done, and become better friends than ever, as in the
preceding case—and a merry group of unconscious little
Tories and Radicals, trundling their hoops, or perhaps
an adult Conservative, whispering soft nonsense
amongst the roses to some juvenile Whig, meet them on
their return home. (Laughter.) Gentlemen, I will
conclude by moving the resolution I have read, hoping
that those who join us may feel that they are enrolling
themselves in a society whose motto is—" Good feeling,
good fellowship, and good neighbourhood."
Mr. J. JONES—Had my friend Mr. Grattan been
Burke, I should beg leave to say ditto ; at all events,
he has the eloquence of a Burke—l should say a Grat-
tan. (Laughter.) I beg leave to second the resolution.
The resolution having been put to the meeting was
declared carried unanimously.
Mr. UNWIN then moved the third resolution, as fol-
lows :—" That the society having purchased a very
eligible estate between Camberwell and Kennington,
peculiarly recommends it to the support of all interested
in the district, as holding out to them an opportunity of
securing a freehold not often presented, and adding to
the beauty and convenience of the neighbourhood."
A gentleman, an inhabitant of Camberwell, begged to
second the resolution. He said he was happy in doing
so. He admired this society—it was frank, open, and
free. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN having put the resolution, declared
it carried unanimously,
Mr. VIGERS having answered some questions put by
gentlemen in the body of the meeting,
Colonel DICKSON begged to move a vote of thanks to
the hon. baronet in the chair. It having been carried
by the meeting, the proceedings terminated, having been
of the most enthusiastic description.

BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—In the general
business of • the port of London during the past week,
although the arrivals have diminished, there has been
increased activity, owing to the vessels being of a larger
class, and their cargoes of a more general description.
The number of ships reported inward was 248, being
88 less than in the previous week. The arrivals of
fruit have been very considerable, but the importations
of grain have diminished, the total quantity reported
being 28,030 quarters, including 12,074 quarters of
wheat. In addition, theae were 10,653 barrels, and
2,016 bags of flour ; and 34,880 bags of rice. Of
sugar there were reported 3,240 hhds., 779 casks,
218 cases, and 41,357 bags ; of coffee, 1,326 casks and
6.167 bags ; of tea, 41,986 packages ; and of hops 812
bales. The number of vessels cleared outwards was 138,
being 25 over the previous week. Of these 23 were in
ballast, and 8 were destined, for the Australian colo-
nies, whitlter the exports during the week have not been
large, or such as to call for particular notice.
STATE OF TRADE.—The accounts from the manufac-
turing towns for the past week, show no alteration in
the general course of business, the principal features
being dulness at Manchester, and continued activity,
with rising prices, at Birmingham. The prospect of
any concession to the Lancashire operatives has not
only diminished every day, but, as far as the ques-
tion of immediate profits is concerned, many of the
firms would now prefer that the strike should con-
tinue—a resort to short time, even with the
rtduced number of hands at present at work, being
expected soon to become general. The demand
for iron manufactures at Birmingham -has led to
an advance of 20s. per ton on most descriptions
of goods, and complaints are still made of an insufficient
supply both of coal and ironstone. At Nottingham the
hosiery-market has again been inactive, but in lace, on
the whole, the transactions have been more numerous.
In the woollen districts there has been a full average
business at firm prices, and notwithstanding the dearness'
of provisions and fuel, contentment prevails among all
classes. From the Irish linen-market the report is very
favourable, especially as regards the home trade. In
most quarters the last advices received from Australia
are described to have been such as to give a further
check to speculative shipments to that region.
MExico.—The advices from the city of Mexico reach
to the Ist of November, and are of a mixed character as
regards both politics and finance. The more influential
classes of the country seem fully to admit the vigour
with which the anarchy that prevailed previously to the
return of Santa Anna has been put down, and in this
respect a feeling is shown analogous to that manifested
in France upon the 'extinction of the Republic. But,
although dictatorial power has been established, no
administrative reforms are attempted so as to check the
all-pervading corruption, and to develope the natural
resources of the State. The finance department remains
in inextricable confusion, and among the most active
friends of the Government are a large number of unscru-
pulous and greedy adventurers. Hence, every step that
may be taken is suspected by the public to have its
origin in some stock-jobbing transaction ; and it will
consequently be desirable that the same vigilance should
be exercised on this side. Although, by the sup-
pression of the recent outbreak in the province of
Yucatan, the country is now in a state of entire peace,
and the revenue has of late considerably increased from
an improved system at the maritime custom-houses and
the new taxes decreed, the Treasury, it is said, is in its
usual state of exhaustion, and rumours have lately again
been revived of a contemplated plan for suspending pay-
ments of all kinds. Under the circumstances, however,
the thing is believed by many persons to be intended
solely with the view of affecting the quotation of the
bonds in the London market, and to facilitate a specu-
lation in which the President himself is alleged to be
interested.
[ADVERTISEMENT.)--Holloway's Ointment agel Pills
Infallible Remedies fur Bad Legs.—Mr. Charles Cook,
grocer and tea-dealer, of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire,
suffered for many years with a bad leg, on which there
were many frightful running wounds, pronounced by the
faculty incurable ; his strength was reduced so much by
the continual discharge that he appeared beyond human
aid, and even his friends relinquished all hopes of his
recovery. At this crisis he was recommended to try
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which in a very short
time produced a change for the better. In three months
his leg was completely cured, and his health has re-
mained unimpaired ever since.—Sold by all druggists,
and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand,
London.
SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER HALL.—The
customary annual performance of Handel's "Messiah"
takes place on Friday next, the 9th inst. ; Miss Birch,
Miss Dolby, Mrs. Lockey, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Weiss,
principal vocaliits. Under the direction of Mr. Costa.
