ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'cic-ek.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The arnnal conference between the- representatives of
this institution and the council W 33 held at the Society's
hones, John-street, Adelphi.
The chair was taken by Wentworth Dilke, Esq.
Mr. P. LE NEVE FOSTER read the report of the
council for the past year, from which it appeared that
the four candidates whin distingelislied themselves at
the society's: examinatione fat t
year, Frank Mei-shall,
Henry Cullum, Edwer.l Hiatus), and Edward Philip
Plowman, have been appointed to clerkships in the Privy
Council office. Tee report then ;sheeted to the queition
of whether the examinations should be in London or
the provinces, and then went on to say that the Council,
after an anxious consideration of the question, determined
to adopt the scheme originally put forth, namely,
to hold an examination wherever an institution,
or a group of institutions, would make sa,isfacn
tory arrangements for the due and hrnest working
of the examination papers by the candidates. To
carry out the system, the council invited the forma-
tion,of local boards, and imposed upon them the further
duty of holding a' preliminary examination to test the
handwriting and spelling of the candidates, their know
ledge of English grammar and the common rules of
arithmetic, as well as their kno sledge of those special
subjects in which they proposed to be examined by the
society's examiners. The council, as early as circum-
stances permitted, issued the programme of the examina-
tions to be conducted on this system. It was, f r reasons
t 3 which it is unnecessary for me to allude, delayed in
its publication, and was not issued till December, giving
a shorter notice both to the institutions and the candi-
dates than was desirable. However, notwithstanding
this delay, the matter was taken up heartily by the insti.•
tutions, and the result hi 6 been the formation of 58 local
boards, a much larger number, taking all the circumstances
into consideration, than could have been anticipwed.
The examination papers were sent down to each board
in sealed packets, with strict injunctions for their being
opened in the presence of the candidates, at the special
hours and 'on the spacial days appropriated for the sub-
ject-. The papers, when wcrk,d by the candidates, were
reunite' by the 1 seal boards, accempanied with a 'decla-
ration, signed k,y a given number of the B 'ard, to the
effect that the papers forwarded therewith were worked,
in tke presence of a certain number of the board, by the
candidates who e numbers they respectively bore,
without any assistance whatever, from books, notes, •
memoranda, from each Other, or from any other per-
on, and that not more than three hours were
occupied in working the papers, awl that no
candidate was allowed to resume, or complete, Lie paper
after having Mt the examination rem in the course of
the time assigned to that paper, and further, tLit the
paper of questiors given to each candidate was taken
from the envelope iu which it was transmitted from the
Society of Arts, the seal being hr ken in their presence
and in that of the assembled carolidatee, at the corn-
nieuctineut of the time appointed for tOe paper in the
time-table issued by the Sec'ety ; and, finally, that
Lot fewer than a certain number of the Local
Beard were present daring the whole time that
the candidates were ergaged with the papers. Tloe
Local B etrde, in every instance but one, Lave
mo-t carefully attended to all the regulations ;
and it is a most gratifying c'reneistance to ropers.
The number of candidates who attended the previous
examinations was 1,107. Of this number 501 were de-
clared by the local boards as eligible for the final mini-
nation ; of them 288 were subsequently examined in '
Whitsun week, 3GO certificates were awarded to 399
candidates, and 89 candidates were uneumssful, 23 in-
stitutions have joined the Union daring the year, whilst
dering the same period thirty-four have been removed I
from the Society's books. The condition of the Insti-
tendons is far better than when the Union was first
established ; there is more attention paid to the real:y
nsefulnbjset=for which their fouodere ietencled there; there
use more cl ;s3es ; and ornt'ne part: of the puhlc, there •

The following private bills- were read a third time and
pawed : —Athenry . and Tu ui Railway, B rkenhead
Improvement Commission-en (G-la and Water), Dublin
and Meath Railway, Redditch gailway, and Stockton
and Darlington Railway (North Ridine
LONDON CORPORATION REFORM. BILL.

Several petitions were presented by Alderman Cope-
land, Alderman Cubits, Lord J. Russel', and Allerman
Sir J. Duke, against the Landon Corporation Reform
Bill, especially against the clause that confiscates the
revenues of the corporation without compensation.
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. BOLT, considering the bill pot in peril the rights
of private and corporate property throughout the king-
dom, could not accept the report of the committee to
whom the bill had been referred, and moved the follow-
ing resolution :—" That the petition of the Corporation
of London against the said bill, which was presented
upon the 28th day of May last, be referred to the com-
mittee, and that the Corporation of. London ba beard
by their counsel, agents, and witnesses, before the com-
mittee on the allegation,' of such petition." He divided
the bill into two partroonefivaucialtheother political. The
financial part proposed the simple regulatien of taking
away a large portion cf the revenue of tee corpo-
ration, without compensation, whilst those who received
emoluments from the corporation relative to certain
dues, &c., were to be compensated by the corporation
out of their remaining revenues. He objected to the bill
on the ground that it interfered with the rights of pro-
perty ; and his definition of the owaerahip of property
was, that they :could be maintained in a court of law, or
could obtain redress for a wrong inflicted. There was
no distinction in law in the enjoyment of property between
individuals and corporations, and they ought to consider
the question of tnetage, tolls, and dues belonging to the
corporation as if they belonged to aft individual. The
rights of property depended on their universality, and he
thought it neither just, wise, or expedient to interfere
with them by this bill. The income of the corporation
was 100,033/. a year from land, and 100,0001. a year
from markets, tuetage, and o her tolls. With respect to
the 100,000/. a yeae from land, a large portion of that
erope.ty would soon expire by the running out of lease-,
&.c., and tke corporation had very wisely put by for some
years 20,0001 a year, and must for some years to come,
to obtain a permanent income of 105,000/ a year. Out of
the-other 100,000/. a year-were pad for expenses of col-
lection of tolls, &e., which were vary heavy. 10 0001. a
year were deducted for dra ebacks on preperiy exp ,rted,
and there wore other charges which made the expenses
in that department about 30,000/.. a-ye'ir, so that the
corporation had only 70,0001. aeyear f om the tolls, and
80,000/. a-sear from landee making together about
150,0001. a-yeas. And how was teat sum expended!
There was a debt of a coition secured on the revenue of
the corporation one-half of which hal been' spent in
purchasing land for the improving and widening of streets,
the land for which had been dedicated to the pub-
lic. The interest of that debt was about 50,000/. a
year. The administrition of justice in the city amounted
to 50,0001. a year, making together 100,0001. a year out
of the 150,000/, per ann. income. Of the balanc,, about
12,0001. per annum were spent in city improvements,
10,0001. in church and pensions, an,; 10,0001. for 'eel-
dental expenses see:hely. Tue last roneunt might be
considered large, but the house must bear in mind that
one year they had to bury a hero ; another year to erect
a monument to his memory ; a third to receive with be-
coming splendour and hospitality our sovereign ;
fourth, a foreign priece. The civil government of the
c:ty cost about 30,0001. a year, which he thought was
not too much for maretain.ng the hospitality and spin-
dour of the city. Tee publin had advaecJl money to
the corporation on the security of- the revenneg, and
Parliament ought not to abolish t t at security upon the
good faith of ehtch the money was advaroed. All teat
was asked was for the house to deal with the Corporation
of London in the sane way they deeit a-ith Liverpeel. to
who.n they gave compensation. The rights of property
depended upon the universality, and when once emitfred
they no right to investigate this acquisition. Tue tulle
levied on goods corning up the Tharnee might be
unjust, but he cared not for that. They were hi
existeece, and the owners had no rtght, to be deprived
of them without compensation. They might adopt the
i
political regulations continued n the bill or enlarge
teeth, but send back the financial part of the bid for
further consideration. The Cerporation ef London
ought to be heard. They might strike, if they pleased,
but hear them first. There was neither wisdom, justice,
or expediency in depriving the corporation of their pro-
perty. To do so would be an act of confiscation..
lelr. CRAWFORD seconded the motion. Ho raid
the corporation c.f London were as anxious as any
one to have the corporation placed on a footing
with the spirit of the times, but they were averse
to the confiscating chereetee of t . Trio
bill Wal seen a ms to Lull on the understanding
teen. tee corporation should be beard against it before a
select committee, though the right hon. eectl?man the
Home Secretary appeared to be of a different opinion.
The conviction on ;he minds of many hon. members was
that the bill wee to be sent to a select committee after
its second readine-, and the corporation heard before teem.
Sir G. GREY said there were ne riehts of property in
a corporation the same as in an individual. The muni-
cipal corporation bill established the principle of dealing
with corporate funds without compensation. 'The best
course for the honourable and learned
.gentle-
man to have taken would have been t.-) moire
the committal. -Of the bill this day three
months or to have .gone into committee, and on these
elenses have urged the arguments he bad u ed in sup-
13:At of his motion when they could have been consi-
dered. If the further progress of the bill was to he
delayed, it should have been done by a direct mo-
tion. He by no means raid delay was not neces-
sary at this period of the reason and the state of
the Thameo—(hear, hear)—for probably de'ay would be
advantageous. He, however, warned the Corporation
against imagining that the bill would then he amended
in accordance with their wish. It would then in all pro
liability be ame. dad more in consonance with
the interests of the public which in many instance were
opposed to those of the corporation. (Hear.) He be-
lieved the result of delay would would bo to carry out
more fully the valuable reek micendation of the Royal
Commissioner', and the Corpera'ion of London would
then probably re;: rot tee y had not accepted the concessi n
this bill gave them. If the further progre:=B of the bill was
delayed, he should consider himself no longer bound by
this bill, and ho should consider himself freer to act mu e
in accordance with the recommendation of the Royal
Commissioners relative to police and other mat-
ters. (Rear, hear) He considered it was Letter to
go into committee on this bill, and then they could con-
sider the expediency of the corporation of London being
permitted to Impose duVea on corn after Parliament had
abolished the corn tax.

is a moro .ge.nerai appreciation of their capabilities fur
good. Thtse fact-, coupled with evidence of their in-
creasing numbers Li all chen,ions, contra,fict the oft-
peattd statement that mechanics' institutions are
failures. Tney are graduslly, slowly it may be, but
surds, taking a permanent poesti-in in the country, and
when we see thir results in the r xaminatioss which
have lttely takas place, whether we look at the Society's
final r x.tminatiosle, or those which have been held in
connection with the provincEal unions, we cannot but
see that they are exercising a powerful irfiaczce for
good, and assisting very materially to bring about a vast
improvement iu the education of the country.
The CHAIRILS.N made a few observations on the report,
and alluded to the failure of one of the local boards in
carrying out the rules laid down for public examinations;
but the council had the satisfaction of stating that the
candidates who would come up for ex ttnissfi,t: fron
local boards wonld not ssfr r i.y tire utnitsion, but that
th, c3uLe.i. 'n.sti to award two prizes of 51. and Si. each.
With respect to the future it was the intention
of the retiring council to recommend to their successors
to withdraw certain subjects for examination, because
owing to the arguments wade by the Government for
the test of proficiency, they had become supetfluoua so
far as the oi•jects of the society woe concerned. The
first question which they would have to nettle was, what
was toe most convenient season of the year iu which the
annual examination should be held for the future.
Isli. HOLES, of the York aul Leeds Institution, said
the resolution he intended to move embodied nearly the
whole of the subjects to which be wished the council to
direct its attention. He wouli therefore move it with-
out further observation. It was minions, " That this
tnerCn% is of opinion that the present system oft
xami-
nation of the Society of Arta, conducted through local
centres, would he improved by introducing the f.
el'angrs That to she local boards should be at-
tached ix twiner,. Secondly, that fur this purpose ;t is
essenial thas the centres of rxaminations should b 3 re-
duced (not to exceed fivc). Thirdly, That the examina-
tions be oral as well as by written 7rapers." Ile moved
the resolution on the part of Yorkshire and Leeds,
which cortainod a vtry large number of pupils, amend.-
inn to about 20,000.

Mr. ROMNEY, of the 'Manchester Institution, and one
of the local board of examiners, seconded the resolution.
He bad heard with regret that it was intended to abo-
lish drawing, and to substitute vocal music. He con-
sidered the drawing class one of the most important.
A. die.cussion then ensued, in which the limiting the
centres of examination was opposed by the Rev. Canon
Grdlestone, of Thistol, Mr. 113 land, of Bradford, and
several other gentlemen.

The CHAIRMAN said the system recommended by the
resolution bad been tried, and found unsuccesaul. The
22,000 members alluded to by Mr. nolo only contri-
buted two guineas a-year to the objects of the society,
(Laughter.) _

Mr. COLE was of opinion that instead of limiting the
centres of examination they ought to be extended in
every direction. Tie moved the f.llowing arnendmeLt
to the resolution of Mr. holes :—" That the 0,,n-
-rence is of opinion that for the benefit of those
for whom the Society of Arts' examiners are
inteuda,T, the system of local boards should be extended
throughout the society's union, wherever the localities
can make t•atisfactory arrangements for the working of
such boards."

Mr. W. WILLIAMS congratulated the corporation
on their having retained the services of one of the most
eminent gentlemen at the bar in their defence, with
reference to the right of the corporation to levy a tax
upon corn Meters. Cuonabe, Da!afield, and Co. many
years since refused to pay it, and the corporation of
London had not the c mrage to go iota a court of law
and enforce it. He denied• that the corporation of
L.Adon had bet-rowed a million of money without
basing the most ample means of paying
it off by the interest of the property in
which it was invt sted or by the imposition of local taxes.
The only sum bortoa ed witl ott the e advantages was
92,C00/. for the budding of thiljway prison. The At-
torney-General entered into many details connected
with the income and exp=denture in comparison with the
Governmental expenditure of a similar charac:er.
[LEFT SPEAKING.]

Mr. JOH.NSTON, of Barnet, seconded the amendment.
Mr. HOLES replied that if success was wished for, a
great rtldUcti na Of the centres of Examination must be
made. It was ridiculous to pursue thn syst em at present in
existence, of having two or three bonus in a very small
district. If the wishes of Yorkshire were attended to,
201. would readi:y be contributed towards the expeote
of the Examination.

The amendmeLt was then put to the meeticg, w►ien it
was cal riel by a major;ty of 24.

The CHAIRMAN said the next business to settle was
the period of the year at which the final examination of
candidates was to take place.

CHANGE IN THE LEADERSHIP OF THE OPPOSITION.—
It is rumoured that in conseepance of Lords Palmer-
ston and Russell having been so worsted in their recent
Parliatnentary cot.ll cte, the '• disappointed pair" will
short:y retire from the field, and the Whig leadership
be Resumed by Sir George Correwall Lew i 4. The right
hon. baronet having married Ltrd Clarendon's sister, is
of course eligible for the pest, and competent to the die.
charge of his important duties. Should the contemplated
change take place, the most damaging results to the
Derby Ministry may reasonably be acticipated. Disraeli
will, of course, be. unequal to cope with such an oppo-
nent, and will, it is feared, las annihilated in the first
encounter, which, in ouch a ca-e, would moult in the
instalment of Sir Gecrge as Premier of England. Then,
indeed, will Fierefordshire realise the full extent of the
sacrifice shelas -made in rejecting him as one of her re
presentatives.—Hereford
BuMBAY AND BAHODA RAILWAY.—Lieutenant-Colonel
Kennedy, one of the directors of this company, has put
forth a letter to the shareholders, urging that the board
should be increased in number. 14e says that the board
as it exists consists of persons successively nominated by
the directors themselves, and complains of acts r f ioju—
lice and caprice consequent upon the existence of an
overruling influence thus acquire I by individual men.-
bers. Whether the statement is well founded can be de-
termined only by investigation. It is possible the merits
of the matter may lie on the other side, or that there
may be mutual faults ; but, judging from a.l r xperiecce,
and especialy from an analagous case recently presented,
Cjl. Kennedy has ventured upon a rash and hopeless
course in appealing to shareholders d:sintereetedly to
inquire into any question against the rnaknity in
power.—Times.
INCREASE OF THE ROYAL ENGINEERS.— Orders from
the War-office arrived ye terday Ini4Diag at the head-
quarters of the Royal Engiueer er.tablishruer,t, Chatham
garrison, for four new enepaniee to be rained, which, in
addition to those now in force, will increase the Engi
neers to 36 companies, and, as each company is to he
made up to 120 strong, will give a force in this useful
branch of the service of 4,320 men.
AMERICAN LETTERS,— A United States mail was des-
patched yesterday by the s ()unship() ty of Washiegten,
which also took cut about 90 cable passengers. The
Africa, Cunard eteanur, Fails on Saturday next for New
York with the mails ald passenger,. Letters will be re-
ceived at the Liverpoil pot-office on Saturday or til 7 30
a.m., with lata fees nitil 8.30, and on the landing stage
until 9.30,
AN ALGERIAN SILDIEtt'S EXECUTION.—A strarge
event occurred at A'giers last week. An Arita soldier
was taken to the Piece Babel Dead to be shot, in virtue
of a sentence of a military tribunal. Re walkei celm y
to the spot, and on arriving there suddenly pulled a
knife from beneath his g +rmeets, and pinnged it into the
abdomen of a corporal, sytn, with a tkachment cf his
regiment, was marching at his tilde. The linld aas ini
mediately wrested from him, but he then threw hiureaslf
on the ground, and energetically opposed every attempt
to make him rise. He was consequently shot as he lay.
The corporal was o.mveyed to the hospital, and it was
there found that his wound is so dangerous that he is
not likely to reitover. Great astonishment is felt that
a condemned crimi:sl should have been able to p0'813"
himself of a k .ifs.

After a short discussion, it was arranged that the
final ex tminations of candidates should take place in the
evening, on certain days between Easter and Whitsun-
tide, to be fix-,d by the council of the Society of Arte.
It was also decided that the present minimum age of
candidates for examination should remain as at present
(16).

cSrith respect to the question in what manner the
local boards could beneficially co-operate with the insti-
tution in fersarding the preparation of their candidate,'
for tx imination,
Mr. Al'lvoit moved the following resolution :—" Tbat
it be recommended by the cot ference to all the local
boards that they put thetweleue into communication
with the directors of the institutions with which they
may be severally connected, in order to asist out the
formation or the continued action of classes for the pre-
paration of candidates for the society's examination."
The resolution, having been seconded by Mr. SPOONER,
was unanituou4y adopted.
The CHAIRMAN said the n. xt sulject for the consi-
deration of the conference was—Can the local boards
advantageously act as administrators of prizs echenses
for children between 12 and 16 years of age, so as to
induce them to continue their iustrection betxeen the
time at which they leave the elementary schools and the
time at which they become admissible to the examicia-
tions of the Society of Arts.
Mr. CHEEiTER moved a resolution to the effect that it
would greatly promote the interest of the public edn•
cation and: the success of the scheme of examinations
adopted by the Society of Arts if the local board should
act as administrators of er'ee schemes for children
between 13 and 16 years of age, so as to induce them to
continue their instruction between the time at which
th y usualy leave the e'ementary school and the time
at which they become admissible to the examinations
of the Society of Arse.
The re solution was adopted unanimou-Iy.
The next sus ject for deliberation Was whether the
central inueentus and galleries in the metropolis, which
are the property of the pubic, or sueeidised front
the public funds, could be rendered useful to the institu-
tioi a in the different parts of the country by sestemati-
cally lending to them !qecitneris for exhibition, or by
granting to them unrequited duplicates.
Mr. COLE raid no:dangtr need be anticipated by rend-
-1
g specimens of art into the provieces. Upwards of
1,000 specimens were sent to Manchester during the late
exhibiti n and not a single fracture occurred. He be-
lieved that there were a great many duplicates in the
British Mueeri which were not wanted, and could with
advantage be given to mechanics' institutions. Speci-
mens might uleo be sent from the National Gallery and
the Turner colic ions.

Mr. BLAKZ paid the people of 'Tit ksbire did not want

did not care about looking at such a thirg as that.

A resolution in favour of a periodical exhibition of the
Art Treasures of the tnetropolis in the provincz.s was
agreed tg,as was also resolutions in favour of the open-
ing of National Museums and Galleries to the public of
an evening.. .

Owing to the frequent occurrence of wrecks in the St.
Lawrence, between the island cf Anticosti and Quebec,
the Canadian Government about two years back estab-
lished tog .teaniera so as to tow ships with perfect secu-
rity bet: een those points at a. urctlerate scale of charges,
No advantage, however, is taken of the measure, and
already 10 vessel; bound from Europe are stated to
have gone ashore dur.ng the present teason. The loss
falls mostly upon our undsrwriters, and as far as they
are concerned no one can feel regret, since it is in their
power to protect thetnselves, if they choose, by ioserting
a clause in the policies of insuraut e, by which it would
become the interest of the ship to avail itself of the pre
caution offered.

THE PAST Pit-ESERVED.—The splendid. mansion ou the
east side of Soho square is undergLing charges which
forcibly remind us of the instability of all earthly gran-
dour. Hero the Earl of Biadfor.l, afterwards the great
Duke of Mole, held his court Onslow, the Speaker of
the House of Commons, succeeded. The millionaire,
Baron Grint, spent upwards, of 5,0001. in 1780 upon it,
:when Inigo Jones exhausted the resources of lics art, and
the two brothers Adam, the architects, known by the
soubriquet of the " i ir talents upon the greater
part et the building, while Rebecca and Angelica Kauff-
man decorated its ceilings. The genius of music, as per-
sonified by the house of D'Almaine and Co., in latter
days took possession of its amplitude for its humanising
purposes, and in di• se halls, where eret was harmony, is
cow the din cf workmen preparing this almost palatial
residence for the reception of what ? —Preserves and
Pickles. The well-known house of Crosse and Blackwell,
huge es it was, cries aloud for more space. Thus the
annexation of the nei6th wring mansion where piquant
;nits held their reign, will he in future the depository of
piquant sauces. F'oo.i for the mind giving idace to food
nor the body—leaden plates of music to preserving dishes
of solid tin, the latter, tha, k; to the loncet 8 Sanitary
Commission, having supplanted the poisonous death-in-
the-pot coppers of former times. Commerce and trade
tb, se two formidable Captains of the age, in taking posses-
sion, have resolved to spare the memorials of the past, and,
thus we find a house which has thriven by preserves
pre-
serving its consistency in extending its guardianship
v
relics which belong more to lebnertitlit than uttitoy.:
