THE SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN HYDE-PARK.—Yesterday
Mr. Bedford held an inquest on the body of a respecta-
bly-dressed man who had been found on Saturday
morning suspended by a silk handkerchief in a hollow
tree, near the Humane Society's receiving house. A
piece of paper was found upon the deceased, on which
was written " W. G. Cotterell, W. Warner, Pudbrook,
near Botley." There was also, in pencil, "I die a
victim, and not a self-murderer." No hat was found on
or near the deceased. A letter had been received from
the police at Botley, stating that a person named W. G.
Cotterell was known there, and he had been a clerk to
Mr. W. Warner three years since ; that the people of
Botley were not surprised at hearing of his awful end.
The jury returned a verdict of "Found dead in Hyde-
park, but how he came by his death there was no evi.
denco to Show, ,

FREE-TRADE FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.

Last evening a very influential and enthusiastic meet-
ing was held at the Belvedere, Pentonville, for the pur-
pose of receiving a deputation from the executive com-
mittee of this prosperous and flourishing society.
On the platform, and in the immediate vicinity of the

chair, we observed, among the gentlemen present—Sir
Henry W. Barron, Lieut.-Colonel Dickson, Lieut.-
Colonel Starr, Captain Bishop-Culpepper, T. C. Grat-
tan, Esq., Joseph Haynes, Esq., F. Holder, Esq.,
Jenkin Jones, Esq., Fred. West, Esq., F. A. Davis.
Esq., H. E. Canney, Esq., Thomas A. Pott, Esq., W.
Dickinson, Esq., John Gate, Esq., R. L. Evans, Esq.,
and a great many highly influential gentlemen ; in ad-
dition to which, the meeting was attended by Azimul-
lah Khan, who is on a mission from India, and who
attracted universal attention by the splendour of his
Eastern costume.

Shortly before eight, on the motion of R. E. Canney,
Esq„ seconded by Mr. Holder, the chair was taken by
Lieut.-Colonel DICKSON, who, on taking his seat,
said it had been expected that Mr. T. Duncombe would
have been enabled to be present that evening, and to
have occupied the position he now filled. Ho the
chairman) was sure the meeting would hear with un-
feigned regret that the state of Mr. Duncombe's health
would not permit him to be present with them
that evening, and none of them could more
regret this than he did, for he had counted on the
presence of Mr. Duncombe to help him—indeed,
to help them all. He (the chairman) would not further
detain them, as he was sure all present would feel de-
lighted in hearing a few interesting statements from Mr.
Jones. He had great pleasure in calling upon that
gentleman to address them. (Applause,)
Mr. JENKIN JONES then came forward, and said that
in addressing a meeting of gentlemen like the present,
he regretted the short notice that had been given to him
that he would be called upon to explain the object
and principles of the Free-Trade Freehold Land Society.
He could have wished that it had been possible for him
to have had a short time allotted to him to arrange a
few facts, for it would naturally be interesting to com-
municate to them the origination and very great suc-
cess that had attended the operations of the society from
its very commencement. The object of the Free-Trade
Freehold Land Society was to do that for its members
which they individually could not do for themselves. To

use a simile, if he wanted to purchase a pound of tea
out of a certain chest at the docks, he would be told he
could have the chest at wholesale price. They all knew
very well he would not get a pound of it. Now, sup-
pose the society to be a large tea shop—there would be
no fear of not getting it here. Our great object
is to distribute retail that commodity which we
purchase wholesale, without employing solicitors,
incurring heavy law charges—and a great many
of us know the extent to which, unfortunately,
those charges amount—(laughter)—to the extent which
those purchasing a small plot of ground would be com-
pelled to do, if he did not get that plot through the in-
strumentality of a freehold land society. The great ob-
ject of the Free Trade Freehold Land Society is to dis-
tribute allotments as often as the means placed at its
disposal will allow. And by so doing, see the immense
saving. Suppose, for instance, in allotting 500 shares,
the 1 aw expenses to us as a society would only be upon the
estate from which we select those rights; thus, as it were,
one out of the 500 would pay the expenses, while 499
would reap the benefit. Land societies were far to be pre-
ferred to building societies, whether they be of 10 or 12
years, and it was well known that at the expiration of
the 10 years, it took too often from 12 to 14 years befere
that house became the absolute property of the share-
holder. In the Free Trade Freehold Land Society
a member is not compelled to take an allotment;
he may either take, refuse, or sell it, and
thus realise a very great profit. Looking at the bona
fide position of this society, it bids fair to exceed in a
great degree all competitors. Established only on the
15th of last August, they had already an income
of 5,0001. per annum. Such a fact he (Mr. Jones)
believed to be without parallel. When he heard of

the advantageous position of the two estates possessed
by the society, one near Annerly, the other at Camber-
well, he immediately invested from 200/. to 2501., in
order to get a slice ; and all he could say to the gentle
men present was, that he would feel happy if they would
follow his example and do likewise. Mr. Jones resumed
his seat amid much applause.
Mr. CANNEY then came forward and moved the first
resolution, to the following effect :—" That the success
which has already attended the progress of this society,
and the Advantageous purchase of estates in the neigh-
bourhood of London, warrant the earnest recom-
mendation of its objects to the public at large."
Mr. Canney, referring to another large society, said
that the Free Trade Freehold Land Society had done
more in three months, than the Conservative Society,
which he found had issued in its first three months 1,500
shares, but to do this, had held meetings at Norwich,
Brentford, Kingston-on-Thames, Croydon, Reigate,
Hampstead, Ipswich, Chelmsford, Colchester, Great
Yarmouth, Gravesend, Greenwich, Woolwich, Dept-
ford, Rochester, Stratford, Derby, Nottingham, Liver-
pool, Putney, and Ealing. The Freehold Society had
held only one meeting, and issued upwards of 1,200
shares. (Cheers.)
Mr. EvANs begged leave to second the resolution.
The CHAIRMAN then put it to the meeting and declared
it carried unanimously.

Lieut.-Colonel STARR, in rising to move the second
resolution, was received with great cordiality. He said—
The resolution which I have the honour to move is to
the following effect :—" That it be strongly urged upon
the shareholders to make known as extensively as p ,s-
-sible the peculiar features which distinguish this society,
so as to promote a still further extension of the popular
favour which it has so largely obtained." Sir, I hesitate
not a moment in moving such a resolution, the more so
as having the honour of being one of the executive com-
mittee I may be allowed to say I know something of
the working and perfect security of this society—a
society founded on the 15th of August last, and now
possessing a subscribed capital of upwards of 50,0004.
I feel a pride when I speak of the success that has at-
tended the labours of this society. When I think of the
two beautiful estates we have purchased, I also think of
the tempting offer others have made—offers not only to
step in our shoes, but to put a handsome credit in our
bank besides. Gentlemen, we owe much to our worthy
chairman—his prudence and ability in council, is so well
known and appreciated, that I am sure I shall be par-
donedi,for saying further on the subject. I cannot
forget the disinterestedness with which he gave up his
right, as one of the founders of this society, to stand
nearly at the head of the list of priority ; he gave up the
advantage his position secured him, cast in his lot with
the other gentlemen of the committee and shareholders,
and they now stand, some of them 700, 800, aye 900 down
on the list. (Great applause.) What pleasure will the
fortunate possessor of an allotment facing one of the most
beautiful structures bf the present age—the Crystal
Palace—experience, he would not attempt to define.
He would, while contemplating the beauty of the sur-
rounding scenery, exclaim---" Here I will plant my cot-
tage—this is what I have longed for, this is what I have
subscribed for !" (Great'applause.)
Mr. Davis briefly seconded the resolution.
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meeting,
which, like the preceding one, was carried amidst loud
applause.
Captain BISHOP-CULPEPPER said it had fallen to his lot
to propose the third resolution, as follows :—"That free-
hold land societies hold out the greatest possible induce-
ment to sobriety, industry, and frugality amongst the in-
dustrious classes, in giving them, by a small weekly de-
posit, the advantages of a rent free holding for building
purposes, and a safe investment for their families." The
gallant gentleman, in the course of a short but neat
speech, frequently alluded to the following passage
from the Times, which is embodied in the prospectus
of the society, viz. :—" A decided mania for landed in-
vestment has seized all classes, and the millowner, the
tradesman, and the artizan are each equally anxious to
become that much abused, much envied thing, a lord of
the soil. Such a taste should not be discouraged ; yet,
when land has come to be bought and sold so freely, and
even when the money in the savings' banks is taken out
to be invested in shares of a freehold land society, or a
building society, there seems less and less reason for
allowing a difference between money and land for the
purposes of taxation. Fifty pounds in the funds, or,
on a mortgage, will not give a man a vote for the
county, but it will when invested in land or houses.
Surely, then, it is very hard that the owners of property
of equal and interchangeable value, should the one have
a great political privilege, and remain untaxed, while
the other is liable to tax, but without the privilege."
The resolution was seconded by Mr. DICKINSON.
The CHAIRMAN, having put the resolution accordingly
declared it carried unanimously.

This resolution being the last one to be submitted,
The CHAIRMAN asked if any gentleman had any ques-
tion to put, to answer which would afford him very
great pleasure. None having been asked, he said he
must be permitted to congratulate them on the flourish-
ing prospects of the society, and the success which had
attended it up to the present time in every step it had
taken. When he looked back at the 15th of August,
the day of its foundation, he could not help saying its
success had been wonderful, and that it bid fair to out-
rival the most successful freehold land society ever estab-
lished. The gallant chairman then passed a high eulo-
glum on Mr. T. Duncombe, and said, though he differed
from him in politics, he felt pride and honour in his
friendship. He was under deep obligations to that gen-
tleman for his independent exertions to obtain justice for
him with respect to the Norwich election petition. Ho
(the chairman) could never be too grateful to him for
those exertions.
Colonel STARR-Mr. Chairman, I trust I may be ex-
cused in submitting is resolution not in the order of pro-
ceedings. When I mention the terms of the resolution,
I am sure every gentleman present will pardon me for
breaking through the programme set down as the busi-
ness of the evening. It is "That the best thanks of
this meeting be given to Mr. Thomas Duncombe."
(Great applause.) He (Colonel Starr) need not, he was
sure, enter into the merits of that gentleman ; he was
universally known, and universally respected. (Cheers.)
He would, therefore, simply move the resolution.
Mr. HAYNES had great pleasure in seconding this re-
solution. (Cheers.) Well, indeed, did that gentleman
deserve the appellation of " Holiest Tom Duncombe."
Despite the tempting offers that had been made him, he
rejoiced to lay that gentleman had refused them all, and

he still remained independent, and an honour and an
ornament to the British House of Commons. (Applause.)
The resolution was then put by the Chairman, and
carried amid loud cheers.
Mr. HOLDER then moved, "That the thanks of this
meeting are due and are hereby given to Lieut.-Col.
Dickson for his urbanity in conducting the proceedings
of this meeting." (Cheers.)
The resolution was put to the meeting by T. C. Grat-
tan, Esq., and carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said, he appre-
ciated very highly the compliment that bad just been
paid him. He need not tell them, for of that they all
must be assured, that the good of the society would ever
be his most anxious care. (Cheers.)
The SECRETARY (Mr. T. S. Smith) then announced
that the next meeting of the society would be held at
the Hanover-square Rooms next Wednesday evening.
A meeting would also be held at the Horns Tavern,
Kennington, on the sth of December, and all shares
taken up prior to that date would participate in the
ballot for tights and the two estates of the society.
The meeting then terminated, the whole proceedings
having been of the most satisfactory description.

HEALTH OF LONDON.

( From the .Registrar:Generars Report)

The deaths registered in the metropolis in the week
that ended on Saturday rose to 1,192, having been in
the previous week 1,112. In the ten weeks correspond-
ing to List week, of the years 1843-52 the average num-
ber was 1,028, which, if raised in proportion to the in-
crease of population, becomes 1,131. Hence it appears
that the actually mortality of last week was in excess of
the calculated amount by 61.
The deaths in the present return show an increase on
the weekly numbers of October, arising apparently from
greater coldness of the weather, and also in part from
cholera. Bronchitis grows more fatal. The rate of
mortality from cholera had been nearly stationary dur-
ing the last three weeks ; the number of fatal cases last
week was 98. Of these 16 occurred in the west dis-
tricts, 15 in the north, 22 in the east, and 45 on the
south side of the river. None occurred in the central
districts.
Cholera continues to be most fatal in the lower parts
of the London basin. In conformity with the law which,
it was found, regulated the mortality of cholera in
1848-49, the mortality in the present epidemic, although
the numbers are few, is nearly in the inverse ratio of the
elevation of the ground on which the dwellings of the
inhabitants stand.
The mortality from cholera in the districts at an
average elevation of less than 20 feet above Trinity
high-water mark has been 38 in 100,000 inhabitants ;
in the districts of an average elevation of 20 and below
40 feet (20-40 feet) the mortality has been 20 in
100,000 ; at an e!evation of 40-60 feet the mortality
has been 13 in 100,000 ; at 60 feet of elevation and
under 120 the mortality has been 8 in 100,000. At
Hampstead, where the elevation may be put at 350 feet,
there has hitherto been no death from cholera.
The series, column 5, was obtained by dividing 38,
the rate of mortality in the lowest terrace, successively
by 2,3, 5, and 17, in conformity with the law laid down
in the Registrar-General's Report on Cholera, (p. lxiii.)
A list of last week's deaths by cholera is subjoined to
the report

\VEST DlSTRlCTS.—Population, 376,427.--Deaths from

KENSINGTON ; St. John, Paddington.- -At Swan
yard, on the Ist November, a hostler, aged 36 years,
" debility consequent upon choleraic fever and hmmorr-
hage." Kensington Town.--At Madeley-house, on the
2d of November, a gentleman, aged 23 years, " spas-
modic cholera (13 hours)." In the same sub-district, at
48, Norland-square, on 6th November, a gentleman,
aged 60 years, " diarrhcea (6 days), English cholera ;"
and at 15, Lansdowne-crescent, on 9th October, the
wife of a captain in the army, aged 57 years, " cholera
(14 hours)." St. Paul, Hammersmith.---At King-
street, on 6th November, a butcher, aged 51 years,
"cholera (8 hours)." In the same sub-district, at 10,
Brook-green-place, on 12th November, the wife of a
labourer, aged 30 years, "cholera (17 hours), neglected
diarrcelia several days." Mr. Roy, the registrar, says—
"ln Brook-green-place there have been during the week
three cases of cholera ; two were removed to the work-
house. These deaths will be found registered in the
Fulham district. In reference to this case at No. 10,
the medical officer writes, that when he first saw the
patient she was in a state of collapse after neglected
diarrhcea. In a room of about nine feet square
there were three adult males, three adult females, and
two children. The inmates have since been removed to
the workhouse. Overcrowding in this street is an evil
which neither remonstrance nor persuasion will remedy,
and it is only by nightly visitation that the numbers
occupying these small apartments can be correctly ascer-
tained, unless some such awful visitation as the above
developer the fact. The attention of the police autho-
rities has been called to this matter." Fulham.—At
Fulham Union Workhouse, removed from Brook-green-
place, Hammersmith, on 4th November, the daughter
of a labourer, aged 5 years, " typhus fever after cho-
lera." In the same sub-district, at hospital, Fulham

" cholera (12 hours), premonitory diarrhoea, (36
hours)." In the same sub-district, at hospital, Ful-
ham Union, removed from Brewhouse-yard, Hammer-
smith, on 10th November, a laundress, aged 30 years,
" cholera (24 hours.)" The five persons last mentioned
were Irish. In the same sub-district, at Haii,mer-
smith-gate, on 9th November, a cowkeeper, aged 67
years, " cholera Asiatica, neglected diarrhoea (4 days)."
CHELSEA ; North-west.—At the workhouse, Chelsea,
on 9th November, a male, aged 15 years, " cholera (3
days), previous diarrhoea (8 hours)." Mr. Larger, the
registrar, states that " this lad was admitted on Satnr-
day evening, the sth inst., for the night, but in the

been in the habit of taking daily from 10 to 12 grains of
opium. No cause can be assigned for the attack. No
remedies, however powerful, had any effect. The ner-
vous system was quite undermined." In the same sub-
district, at the Middlesex Hospital, from 2, Upper
Rathbone-place, on 9th of November, the daughter of a
