most gratifying report they bad ever had the pleasure
of receiving from their directors.—(Cheers.) Those who
had paid any attention to the subject of life policies,
and to the progress of societies of this kind, could not
fail to be struck with the extraordinary progress of this
institution. Ile bad given his attention to the matter,
and he thought ho was perfectly justified in saying that
no society in his experience had progressed with a ra-
pidity at all equal to the progress of this provident in-
stitution.—(Hear, hear.) It had only been established
eleven years i and it would hardly be believed, but he
had the figures to show it, that it had issued in that
period nearly as many policies as the Great Equitable
Insurance Company had issued in 80years.—(Cheers.)
The motion was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN said, in accordance with the third
rule, two directors—namely, Mr. Joseph Hargrave and
Mr. Richard Shortridge—went out of office, and that the
two candidates who had offered themselves were Mr.
William Millar Christie and Mr. William Tyler, whose
election he proposed, and they were accordingly elected.
Mr. CHRISTIE briefly returned thanks.
Mr. TYLER, in returning thanks, congratulated the
meeting on the improved condition of the institution.
The conduct of the chairman at the three great meet-
ings had been most praiseworthy. If every any
poor, unlucky wight required 'a fair and candid hearing
from any meeting -he did that time last year,
and he wished to express his sincere obligations to the
chairman for the fair hearing'which he obtained for him
on that occasion. He (Mr. Tyler) was placed in a po-
sition of extreme difficulty, but the straightforward and
honourable conduct which
_distinguished the.chairman
on that occasion, though he "stood almost alone, enabled
him to futnish a satisfactory statement to the meeting.
If at a time, when.lie. was little-known he received kind-
ness from .the menthers-of the aciety, he did not hesitate
to accept office now, when be mak more used to its af-
fairs, and could, besides, be ofifiseye*vieet to it. The
institution was only beginning to emerge from
comparative obscurity to a position of consider-
able importance, and therefore he felt much honoured
by being solicited to take a seat at the board.
When be found that in its eleveath year it had
issued 1,005 policies, and that the Equitable, which
had been established eighty years, with its 9,000,0001. of
capital, bad only issued 162 in the course of last year,
and when he looked at the principles on which it was
established, he thought he ought to predict for it the most
unbounded success.—(Cheers.) This would be the more
evident when he stated that they had 5,926 policies, and
that the Equitable had only 6,l4o.—(Cheers). This was
an inducement to the friends of the institution to make
its advantages known, because additional policies could
not be otherwise than beneficial to all. He had done so,
and would continue to do so. He thought he was the
first member that had been returned to their House
under the Reform Bill.(Cheers.) He would do all he
could to benefit the institution, but]when he ceased to
do, he should not continue to fill the office to which they
elected him.—(Hear.)
Mr. REED proposed Mr. Alexander Scrutton, Mr.
William Smith, and Mr. Robert Ganneron to fill the
~ffice of auditors for the ensuing year, and to have a fee
of 101. 10s. each, which was seconded by Mr.HeanwicK,
and adopted.
Mr. SCRUTTON briefly returned thanks, and in doing
so stated that the accounts from the commencement of
the institution had been kept with the greatest accuracy,
and that vouchers for every payment were produced.
He had not had occasion to make any complaint during
the whole of that period.
Mr. SMITH also returned thanks.
Mr. REED returned thanks for Mr. Ganneren, who was
absent.

THE SEIZURE OF CRACOW.

' there were 44 cases of successful treatment, and only
40 cases of failure. From the reports of the inspectors
of prisons in Scotland, and from the information of
chaplains, governors, and inspectors of prisons in Scot-
land and England, it appeared that the mints of those
officials were anxiously turned to the subject of the re•
formation of criminals, and that they all spoke hopefully
on the subject. The question had been taken up by the
present solicitor of the city of London, Mr. C. Pearson,
by the Middlesex magistrates, and a very interesting
report had Leen drawn up on the same subject by the
chaplain of the Philanthropic Society, the Rev. Sidney
Turner. A series of papers, written by the editor of
the Birmingham Herald, on the subject of criminal re-
formation, had produced a great effect in the midland
counties, in whirili that newspaper had a largo circula-
tion. His intention on the present occasion was to move
that all these papers be referred to the committee on
criminal law, that they might report on the various plat
for the improvement of the treatment of criminals, and
young persons likely to become criminals, and also as to
the principles upon which punishment ought to he
awarded. The repression or diminution of crime was
the object he had in view. He admitted that the public
had a right to inflict pain on the criminal, if by so doing
they, were taking the best mode of repressing crime.
It was because he believed it was not the best mode that
he was hostile to it. It was now conceded that the only
principles on which they were justified in inflicting pain
on their fellow-men who bad become" criminal, was first,
that the pain operated so as to deter others from the like
offence, and, secondly, that it prevented the.offender
from relapsing into crime. He denied that these two
principles came into conflict. Pain inflicted solely with
a view to reformation would operate also by way of
example, and the principle of example ought to give way
to reformation, and not reformation to example. To
render the infliction of pain effective as a means of de-
terring from crime, it was necessary that it should be
certain and prompt ; but they had no ground for believ-
ing that thus any approach could be made to such cer-
tainty in all cases in the punishment of criminals.
Under the present system the number of persons
re-committed was enormous, and the number of times
some were re-committed was also enormous. In a
report of the inspector of prisons in Scotland, it
was stated that he found in the Edinburgh Gaol
an old woman on the eve of her departure from
the gaol for the eighty-fifth time, who had been
preceded the previous day by another old woman, who
had departed fur the ninety-ninth time. He would not
have the criminal subjected to a greater amount of pain
than was necessary for reformation, but he would have
him subject to all pain necessary for that purpose. He
ought not to be permitted to mingle in society until
thoroughly reformed. Dante had described the gates of
hell as having over them the inscription—" Abandon all
hope ye who enter here." Over every prison door in
England he would have inscribed, " Abandon ye who
enter here all hope of departing until you are reformed."
He was aware that some effect was produced by the
present mode of punishment, but a much greater and a
much more beneficial effect would be gained by the
adoption of the principle which he advocated, viz., the
inflicting of punishment with a direct reference to the
reformation of the criminal. There was no relation
between any given offence and any given punishment.
The feelings revolted from inflicting on an in-
dividual guilty of a petty offence an unlimited
amount of punishment. He apprehended that the
ultimate object of reformation ought to be to
enable the criminal to return to society with such
principles and habits as would enable him to stand his
ground, so that he might not fall again into crime. A
complete servile obedience might make him a slave, but
would not fit him for society. Want of self-control was
the cause of his fall, and before he should be allowed to
return to society he must be placed in circumstances in
which he could acquire the habit of self-control. Pro-
bably the separate system of confinement, which was
not to be confounded with the solitary system, would be
the best commencement for a reformative discipliee. On
the present occasion, however, he would not enter into
details. He did not shrink from saying that, in his
opinion, a prison should be for the moral man what a

A public meeting was held at the National Hall, Hol-
born, last evening, on the subject of the " Seizure of
Cracow by the three despotic powers—Austria, Rue.si
and Prussia," on which occasion the spacious (`all was
filled by a respectable and enthusiastic audience. Dr.
Bowring, M.P., took the chair at eight o'clock. Letters
were read from Lord Dudley Stuart, T. S. buncombe,
Esq., M.P., Colonel Thompson, Mr. George Thompson,
11r. Douglas Jerrold, and Mr. H. Vincent, excusing
their attendance, but expressing deep sympathy in the
objects of the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN in opening the proceedings of the
evening said, that at the close of the last session of Par-
liament, a motion was brought before the House of Com-
mons, calling upon it to inquire whether the tresty of
Vienna had not been violated ; and, further, to inquir,
into those calamities which had occurred in Galicia.
He felt but little sympathy in that motion ; he had
never recognised the treaties of Vienna, Utrecht, and
other treaties, as the law of Europe, for he never con-
sented to allow that the destinies of man depended or.
the arrangements made by those who had tyrannised
over him.—(Hear, hear.) He felt that as those treaties
were made by despots, so by despots they would be
broken—(Cheers)—but he there pledged himself, that it
no other Member of the House would present the Polish
question to its attention in all its integrity and itat-
ness, he would undertake to do so.—(Cheers.) They
now had seen ruthless hands laid on the last
fragment of Polish liberty. The Greek, who saw the
statues of the Parthenon taken' away, said, in his lamen-
tation, " I was there—l saw it ;" and so Englishmen
and the friends of liberty throughout the world would
tell the despots of the north that they had seen the de-
spoiling of Poland, and branded the despoilers too ; and
that they patiently waited their time.—(Cheers.) The
history of Poland was spread over ten centuries of dire
vicissitude, but in the last half century she had vibrated,
between hope and fear ; her nationality, her language,
her popular spirit, had, however, not been destroyed,
and as she had been revived before she would be resus-
citated again.—(Cheers.) Judging from the sympathy
of such a meeting as that which he was then addressing,
he did not doubt but that Poland would yet resume her
high and honest position among the nations of the world.
—(Cheers.) He congratulated them that Cracow no
longer existed as an independent state. It was not a
question now as to 200,000 Cracovians, but as to 20,000,0001
Poles ; and they should now hope to see Poland re-con-
stituted.—(Loud cheers.) He could not, forget, how-
ever, that Cracow was the spot where the first northern
university was established, and from which the no-
blest declaration of religious liberty which had ever
been made to the world emanated. (Cheers.)
He could not forget that it was the place where the
monarchs of Poland were crowned, and where they
still reposed; he could not forget that it was associated
with the names of Copernicus, Casimir, Kosciusko,
Poniatowski, and Sobieski.—(Loud cheers.) He rejoiced
to feel that his countrymen were deeply interested in the
cause of liberty, which was the cause of man.—(Cheers.)
He was a friend to peace, but he looked to the triumphs
of peace in the triumphs of liberty—(Renewed cheers)—
and he knew that peace could never be established until
the great rights and the mighty interests of humanity
were recognised.—(Hear, hear.) He felt sure that it
was in that spirit they had met together; they saw their
Polish brethren afflicted and trampled upon, but they
found them full of energetic protests, appealing to Eng-
lishmen, and to the world, and asking for a kind and
generous sympathy by those who loved freedom them-
selves, and were disposed to aid others who were strug-
gling for it.—(Cheers.) It had been truly said that to
desire more virtue was to obtain it ; and he felt equally
certain that to wish for more liberty was to obtain it
also. Forty years ago, who would have dreamed that
Greece would have a national government, and a national
language spoken at Athens ? yet now she had a repre-
sentative and a national government, and these were
but the seeds of the good fruit which would follow.
Ile called upon his fellow countrymen now to sow
the seed of Polish liberty, and the smiles of Poles
would be the sunshine which should ripen them. He

The CHAIRMAN then introduced to the meeting a
subject which to the directors was one of extreme deli-
cacy, namely, remuneration for their services. By the
amended rules the directors bad ceased to allot their
own remuneration; it was therefore the province of the
meeting to do so. The alteration was one most accept-
able to the directors.—(Hear.)

A GENTLEMAN inquired the number of directors who
usually attended the meetings?
The CHAIRMAN replied that the average number was
nine or ten, but as the two 'gentlemen who had with-
drawn seldom attended, on account of residing in the
country, the number they expected to attend the future
meetings would be twelve or thirteen, exclusive of the
medical members. Originally they had one meeting a
week, but the increased business made two necessary.
The remuneration at these meeticgs averaged 14s. or
15s. each.

A GENTLEMAN seconded the motion, and observed
that as the institution was increasing in prosperity the
duties of the directors would become more onerous than
at present, and that they ought to be compensated.
Mr. BARCLAY considered that the remuneration pro-
posed was inadequate for such valuable services, and
instanced it as hardly sufficient to pay their coach fare.
Such valuable services ought not to be measured by such
paltry terms. The remuneration they received was
smaller than that awarded to the directors of any simi-
lar institution of the kind.

of the metropolis. Subjoined is an analysis of the whole
of them, in the order in which they occurred:—
the premises occupied by Mr. F. H. Cloake, shop-fixture
dealer, which did some considerable damage before it
At ;six o'clock in flie evening an alarm was given that
a fire was burning upon the premises in the occupation
of Mr. J. Hynam, lucifer-match maker, Wilson-street,
Finsbury. The ignition way caused by the over-heating
of the drying-room, and tho consequence was that a stock
of 5,000 bundles of splints for lucifers was destroyed in
a fire-proof building. Not insured.
One hour later, at 69, Cornbill, upon the premises of
Mr. Walter Berdoe, tailor. This fire did but trifling
damage. Contents insured in the Dissenters' Office.
At forty-five minutes past eleven considerable injury
was done to the premises of Mr. Robert Frost, butcher,
38, BAck-road, St. Georg's in the East. The fire caught
the flooring, and the ceiling underneath was much
damaged. The fire was caused by a cinder shooting
from the fire.
Yesterday morning at one upon the premises of
John Johnson, Esq., coal merchant, known as New
Wharf, Abingdon-street, Westminster, the coal porter's
lobby, ten feet by six feet, was destroyed and the roof
burnt off, and a shed adjoining much damaged. Contents

ana said that—
" Down to the dust oppression should be hurled,
Her name and nature banished from the world"—
(Cheers)—but still had the tyrants gone on dismember-
ing that devoted country and tearing her limb from
limb ; and when had the British people come for w ard
with that dignity which became such a people as the
English, and made the voice of a great nation of free-
men—which was ever omnipotent—heard by the oppres-
sors of Poland?—(Hear.) We owed a great debt of
gratitude to Poland. At the end of the seventeenth
century, when the whole of Europe was menaced by an
invasion from the Turks, it was the brave Sobieski and
his gallant Poles who maintained the safety of Europe
and the preservation of Christianity.—(Cheers.) The
Austrians were unable to compete with their Turkish
foes, who had devastated the whole country, and sent
about 90,000 of its inhabitants into slavery ; they had
reached the walls of Vienna ; famine prevailed in the
city ; and it was about to be delivered up, when
Sobieski, with his brave army, triumphed over the
enemies of Christianity, marched in friendly triumph
through the streets of Vienna, and finally chased them
out of Europe.—(Cheers.) He asserted, therefore, that
we owed a debt of gratitude to the brave and enlightened
Poles.—(Cheers.) Mr. Howitt, in a powerful speech,
then alluded to some other prominent features in Polish
history, and contended that, although he was a friend to
peace, unless Englishmen, as a nation, spoke out, and
put an end to further breaches of treaties, war was in-
evitable. The speaker concluded by moving the follow-
ing resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Holyoake,
and carried by acclamation :
' " That the treaty of Vienna, which pretended to finally
settle the Governments of Europe, being now over-
thrown, there can no longer be any question, even
among those who respected the treaty, as to the neces-
sity of reconsidering the present construction of what
are called the Governments of Europe; that this meet-

The CHAIRMAN explained that they were frequently
offered mortgages, in order to ascertain the value of the
property. It was necessary for the directors to be most
correct in these matters, to go into the country to ascer-
tain its value. As this entailed great expenses upon
them, they were allowed 31. 3s. a day whilst out of
town.

Mr. A NSELL said that his avocations led him to be
acquainted with institutions similar to the present, and
also the remunerations given to directors in several in-
surance companies, and from that knowledge he felt
bound to say that the remuneration given by this society
to their most efficient and skilful directors was far less
than that of any other institution of a similar description
in the metropolis.—(Hear, hear.) Looking to the large
amount of the receipts of this institution, he thought the
society ought not to consider whether their directors got
a guinea or 255. for every meeting they attended, but
that their best course would be to vote a certain sum for
the directors, leaving it to them to divide it among
themselves as they thought best.—(Hear, hear.) He
thought that the sum of 1,5001. at least should be voted
for the directors.—(Hear, hear.) He would, therefore,
move that that sum should be given to the directors for
their services for the ensuing year,
Mr. HAYWARD seconded the proposition.
The CHAIRMAN begged to inform the meeting that
the remuneration they were now calling for was for the
ordinary directors; they would have at a future stage to
ask the meeting to remunerate their medical directors.
—(" Hear, hear ;" and cries of " We know that.")
Now, with respect to the proposition for giving
the directors 1,500/., he had to state, after a short con-
sultation with his colleagues, that, although they were
highly gratified with the unanimity that appeared to
prevail in the meeting with respect to it, they did
not require so large a sum.—(Hear, hear.) He thought
that 1,2001. for the directors, and 1001. for the occasional
deputations, would be quite sufficient.—(Hear, hear.)
The directors, however, had no hesitation in saying that
1,4001. would be ample to cover every expense, and they
would gladly return their thanks to the meeting if they
voted that sum.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " No, no.")
The motion of Mr. Ansell (the other propositions and
amendments having been withdrawn) was then put to
the meeting, and declared to be carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then said, the next subject for the
consideration of the meeting was the remunera-
tion of their medical directors. Hitherto they had
paid them at the rate of one guinea and a half
for each attendance, which made three guineas a week
each. Now, the directors were not quite satisfied, con-
sidering the long standing of the medical directors in
their profession, and the immense advantage the insti-
tution had derived from their services, that sufficient
remuneration had been given to them, and they thought
that, without anything like impropriety, the amount
might be increased from three to four gumeas.—(Hear.)
He believed that the medical directors had lost the at-
tendance on several families, because they had acted

At half-past ten a serious fire occurred en the range
of premises in the occupation of Mr. P. Olney, fell-
monger, Market-street, Bermondsey, by which the
drying-stove was nearly destroyed. The damage to the
adjoining wool loft was slight, but a considerable portion
of the contents were injured by fire and water. The call
by the police was very prompt, and fortunately there
was a good supply of water upon the spot, from which
the engines were worked. The roof was slightly damaged.
Insured.

About the same time a fire broke out in Shoreditch,
upon premises in the occupation of Mr. Attwell, butcher,
of Holywell-lane. The damage was fortunately confined
to the contents of the second floor.
By far the most serious fire burst forth, however, at
thirty-five minutes past three o'clock, in the worshops is
the occupation of Mr. John House, wire-blind maker, 35,
Cannon-street-road, St. George's iu the East. The fire,
it appears, originated through the adjoining glass-
blowing furnace, which, it seems, was contiguous to the
division-wall of the premises. Notwithstanding the
most strenuous efforts were made by the firemen, the
flames were not extinguished before the worshops and
rooms over were destroyed. Mr. Bradford's premises,
next door (the glass-blower's), were injured, and a shed
burned down. Mr. Robert Perks, rale•maker, 36, had
some damage done to his premises; and Mr. Thomas,
undertaker, slightly suffered. Building insured in the
Dissenters' Office: contents not in either case insured.
The other fires were but of trifling importance.

ing, therefore, deems the present a fit opportunity for
re-asserting the right of every nation to choose its own
Government, to protect its own nationality, and that it
re-echoes the appeal of the Liberals of France, in ex-
pressing towards the Poles its warmest sympathy, con-
fident of the resurrection of Poland and the ultimate
triumph of liberty and justice."
The next resolution, moved by Mr. J. W. LINTON, and
seconded by Mr. J. WATSON, was as follows:
" That an association be now formed, whose object
shall be to spread over the widest field the principles
of national liberty and progreEs, and to aim in estab-
lishing a good understanding among the people of all
countries."
The resolution having been unanimously carried,
thanks were voted to the chairman, aad the meeting
dissolved.

DEATH OF LIEUT.-COL. FOUNTAIN ELWIN, K.C.
—This distinguished officer expired on the Bth inst., at
his residence at Peckham, aged sixty-seven. He served

THE! RAJA OF S ATTAR A..-A public meeting was
held last night at the Westminster Literary Institution,
Great Smith-street, to petition Parliament for an inquiry
into the case of the Raja of Sattara. The accredited
agent of the Raja in this country, Rungo Bapojee. at-
tended, and also Mr. George Thompson. The chair
was taken by Mr. Noggins. Mr. George Thompson ad-
dressed the meeting at considerable length in support of
the claims of the Raja, and resolutions were passed to
the following effect:—First, that the meeting had
listened with painful emotions to the narrative of the
treatment which the ex-Raja of Sattara had received
from the British-Indian authorities, and pledged itself
to the employment of all just and proper means to ob-
tain for that Prince the restoration of his rights and
ample reparation of his wrongs; and next, that a peti-
tion should be presentad to Parliament for inquiring into
the Raja's case. The meeting then separated.

SOCIETY FOR THE AMENDMENT
OF THE LAW.
A special meeting of this society was held yesterday
evening, at the rooms of the society, in Regent-street, to
take into consideration the questions of secondary
punishments and the treatment of juvenile offenders.
At eight o'clock Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque took
the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been
read and confirmed,
Mr. M. D. HILL rose to address the meeting on the
subject which they had been convened to consider. He
began by alluding to the various plans which had been
laid before the board on the subject, and expressed his
satisfaction that the Government had resolved to give
the plan of Captain Machonochie a trial. He hoped that
whatever modifications might be intended, they would
not be such as would peril the success of the plan itself.
An experiment which had not excited much attention
bad been made on the subject. He held in his hand a
report of the proceedings of a society with which he
was well acquainted, and which had been established for
the reformation of juvenile offenders in the county of
Warwick so far back as the year 1818. It appeared that
of the young persons committed in that county 60 per cent.
had been sent to the asylum at Dunsford Heath, and
that the expense was 254 a head. From a private paper
which had been transmitted to him by Mr. Edward
Rushton, police-magistrate in Liverpool, it appeared that
out of the cases of young offenders who had. from time to
time been brought before him, tried, punished, and dis-
charged, the reformations were few indeed, while the
average expense of prosecution merely was 564 for each
individual, being more than double the expense of those
offenders who had been sent to the asylum at Dunsford
Heath. The system of reformation was, therefore, less
expensive than prosecution. Another experiment had
been tried. Since 1841 it had been the practice at the
Birmingham Quarter Sessions to send young offenders,
not to gaol, but to their masters. The number of per-
sons so discharged up to last Michaelmas Quarter Ses-
sions was 113. Of that number there were 40 whose
Looduct WAS decidedly bad ; 25 doubtful, for they had
left their employment ; and 44 whose conduct had stood
the test of time and examination. Here, then, without
any expense or infliction of pain, out of 113 offenders
