The CHAIRMAN (James Wyld, Esq.), on taking his
seat, said he felt great pleasure in occupying the chair ;
it was an honour he did not expect. The meeting hav-
ing been pleased to appoint him to preside over their
deliberations, he should rely on all of them to sapport
him in fulfilling that duty. He thought that the first
business of the evening consisted in reading the notice
convening the meeting. He should call on the secre-
tary to do so.
The SECRETARY then read the ad ver tis e en t
The CHAIRMAN —That being done, the next thing for
them to hear was the report of the executive committee.
Mr. SMITH then read the report, from which it ap-
peared that the executive committee of the Free Trade
Freehold Land Society, in presenting their report, con-
gratulated the meeting on the great success that had
crowned their labours—success very far beyond their
most sanguine expectations, and exceeding, they be-
lieved, anything hitherto accomplished by any freehold
land society. The total number of shares enrolled since
the society was established on the 15th of August
amounted to 2,021, representing a capital of 80,840/.
In forwarding the interests of the society, the committee
had held six public meetings, viz., at the Whittington
Club, Strand ; the Belvedere, Pentionville ; the Hanover.
square Rooms ; the Horns Tavern, Kennington ; the
Beaumont Institution, Mile-end ; and the Hall, Cam-
berwell—the results of which had been very gratifying,
and those results had been obtained at a very small

expense. The expenditure for office fixtures and furni-
ture to the present time had been but 1541. 18s. 3d., and
the current expenses of management and rent for the
four months the society had been established, 313/. 10s.
9d., making a total of 4581. 9s. 7d., less than 12s. per
cent. on the amount of capital subscribed for. The
report went on to state that it was satisfactory to find
that the two estates already purchased for the society at
Anerly and at Camberwell were eagerly sought after,
and the executive committee confidently believed that
the representations made by the surveyors in reference
to them would be fully realised, and that they would
prove highly advantageous to the shareholders, either
for the purposes of building, investment, or profitable
re-sale. The committee had arranged that the first
public ballot for rights of choice to these estates
should take place on Monday, the 30th of January
next. Other estates were under the consideration of the
surveyor, and the committee hoped shortly to be en-
abled to satisfy the shareholders in every direction. The
committee, in conclusion, observed that by a continua-
tion of the co-operation which had hitherto been shown
by the members, combined with economic management,
and a judicious investment of the funds of the society,
they had no fear that in a very short time the Free
Trade Freehold Land Society would rank second to
none in efficiency and prosperity.
The reading of the report was frequently interrupted
by loud cheers, and on its conclusion,
Mr. PAR ELL moved that the report just read be re-
ceived and printed for circulation among the members of
the society.
Mr. PATEMAN seconded the motion.
The CiIAIRMIN then formally read the resolution, and
having put it to the meeting, declared it carried unani •
mously.

In accordance with the rules of the society, the exe-
cutive committee all went out of office at this meeting,
but the whole offered themselves for re-election.
The CHAIRMAN said, agreeably with the rules of the
society, they had now to elect an executive committee,
as the term of office had expired of those gentlemen who
had till this evening fulfilled the duties of that com-
mittee.

A long discussion then took place with respect to the
desirability of limiting or increasing the numbers of the
existing committee. At length
Mr. JENKIN JONES moved that the whole of the exe-
cutive committee whose term of office had expired be
re-elected.

in a very neat manner, proposed a resolution to the fol-

justly due, and are•hereby awarded, to James Wyld,
Esq., for the urbanity and impartiality with which ho

THE CUSTOMS. —A paragraph appeared in some of
last Sunday's papers, announcing the fact of the imme-
diate superannuation of several officers of the landing
department of Customs, including some of the highest
officers in the service, and the announcement specifically
mentioned the names .of the parties who were to
' retire from the public service. We have reason to
know that there
was not the slightest foundation for the
statement, and in fact that it was from beginning to end
a pure fabrication.
TDB SUPPOSED MURDER AT EAST AOTON.—ADDI-
TioNAL PARTICULARS.—Some trace of the friends of the
deceased has been discovered. It appears that on the
ruing of Saturay last, the 7th instant at 5 o'clock,
mooning
gentlema dn, named J. W. Roberts, suddenly
and mysteriously disappeared from the Southampton
House Academy, at Kentish Town, and notwithstand-
ing the exertions of Mr. Saltmarsh, the proprietor of
the academy, and the deceased's friends, no trace of the
youth could be discovered. The missing youth (Roberts)
is described as being 17 years of age, but apparently
much younger, and has light hair. He was dressed
very respectably, in a black cloth overcoat, frock coat,
waistcoat, and black trousers. The body found in
Irvine-lane answers the description as far as the personal
appearance is concerned, but of course ilo identity could
be made by the clothing, as that of the deceased has not
yet been discovered. The coroner's officer for the Acton
district has forwarded information of the discovery of the
body to the friends at Southampton House Academy'
and no doubt the body will be identified as that of the
missing party, Roberts. The police are still making in-
quiry into this extraordinary and mysterious affair.
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE.—The Professors of University
College gave their first college soirL for the winter ses-
sion on Wednesday evening, in the handsome library
and adjoining room in the college. A great number of
very beautiful photographic drawings, and other works
of art, were exhibited during the evening, including some
fine paintings by Mr. G. Lance. The Flaxman sculp-
tures are always much admired on these occasions, the
apartment containing them leading to the' library in
which these agreeable reunions are held. The attend-
ance of guests, as usual, was very numerous.
