      ' INDIA AND CHINA . By By fteorfjnary semi-monthly despatch from Marwlteeilies , it 'anticipation of the overland mail , we have f i eceiieceired intelligence from Calcutta to the 2 nd , and prom torn P . sinbay to the Sth ult . Gr Gvea . iap ? reheus \ on was felt respectins the fate of ath « -. 8 fc Cleopatra steamer , which left Bombay on the »» 4 »' o' 4 f a April , bound for Singapore . She encountered Ibx ifre frig htful hurricane ofthe 17 th , 18 th , and 19 th , of Apr April , and had not since been heard of . * ^ v Retak e the following summary of news from the •« Be « Bene *! lluikara * of . July 2 nd : -

      '' ' There has been a revolution in Nepaul ; but sudsach things have been too common in that country of lof late toadmitvjf a mere quiet and bloodlesschange of lof rnk » being looked on evenasa nine days wonderder . Tbe history of this erentis briefly as follows :-Th The Maharajah , as our readers may remember , came sre-aomethne ^ goto Benares , as isscb , perhaps , becai cause it tras inconvenient for him to stay at Kafcmi mandoo ^ h ere hi s wife was suprem e , as for the purpn pose of performing his devotions in the sacredI nrer . Af After -staviiu : at Benares some time , he left that < al < ato ostensibly forthe purpose of returning to his « a « amteL But it appears he sever got further liaa to 5 ] 5 place called Segowlee , in the British territories , bn bafaear tbe frontier of Nepaul . Thence it seems he

      -se -setft messengers to Kataandoo . calling on the army 8 i and theprinciral rneutf the country to imprison or Id kill the Minister-Jung Babadoor and allfcis family . Q . <® a this the chiefs assembled , apd after-consultation » js vrarae to the conclestsn that his Majesty was not of Tri -right mind . They accordingly deter-asiaed todepose hi him and to pltce the heir-apparent en the throne . T ThisTcsolutioii ' wss immediately carried into effect , a ; and a letter was sent to the old Kim *; signed by all tl the prmcipaltwFa . informinRhim of what had " been d done , recounting his misdeeds , censuring him for his w withdrawal from his peopleand country , and reprobafii ingpiis order for the destruction of * worthy man and h his ancient family . Thesubstitetr ' onofone King for a another , thus quietly effected , will in no way aff . ct t the relations between the Brstrlsh Indian Goverhl rnentand that of Nepaul .

      ' From the Punjab we hear that the Govemer-( General , seeing that the people of Ilazireh are sot I likely ever to submit quietly to the rule ofGholab ! Singh . 'From KJabul the latest news received is to about i the middle of May . Dost Mahomed bad returned from tis campaign among the insurgent Ghilzies . His Highness seems to have incurred the displeasure of many of his chiefs , including his son , Wuzecr TJkbarKhau , by his supposed leaning towards an alliance with the British . * It appears that an affray had tekan place between the Kussilbashes and the rest of tbe towns-people , in which seventy or eighty mea were killed and wefinded . The result has not yet transpired . '

      The Calcutta Star gives the following account of the depredations of the noted robber Djongur Sinsh : 'Daongur Singh , tbe freebooter of Ajmeer , has broken out & £ aio . It 'was thought that he had been driven out » i the co-entry , but the report that the Sbekawattee cavalry were to be disbanded , the corps that chased him ont of his usual bounty , drew Mm out ef his fastnesses . lie plundered two Kafi-] as ; worth , the one- ' 50 , 000 rupees , and the othei jtiOOO . according te-report . __ And since that , an act far more daring than anything , except his own escape from the Agra gaol , has startled the whole -country . Oa the rS ' . h of June an attack was made , upon the Pay office at Nusserabad 'by a party of ' «) me 300 men , about midnight . She place was " ; -guarded by ahaviidar and seventeen men , and was ^ in the immediate neighbourhood of a large military i station . The daeoits came up lrom the rear of tbe ; cantonments , were challenged by a sentry , said they

      were going to the Ajmere fair , passed on , rushed up and cut down both sentries , g .-t intcthe guard , and disabled \ hem before they could get on their arms . " Six men were killed outright . The treasury w «

      lirearms . Bombay has teen the scene of * fire , which lor-a moment threatened to reduce the fort , bet it was happily got under . CHINA . A Colombo uisr . ts , extra , of the 25 th July (( Isle of Ceylon ) , contains a very alarming rumour with regard to the relations of this country withChina , and one which derives considerable probability from the recent rash conduct of Sir John iBavis ,-the governor of Hong Kon ? . The report is , that the attack on the Bogue Forts had roused a desperate spirit of hostility against all foreigners , but especially the j EnslisU , and bad led to a general rising ofvthe people of Canton agaiact them . The report-further spates that the consuls had been compelled to kwe Canton and that the "Europeans were preparing to follow them .

      The above news is said to haw -been brought to Colombo by the Haddington steamer , which received it from the captain of a vessel -who had been despatched to Calcutta for troops to reinforce the garrison of Hong Ron ? .

      AUSTRALIA . Jfew South Wales . —The news from this colony is to the 13 th ofApriJ . Peremptory ordexs had been . received te redacethe military force thereto a single regiment . In future two regiments are to be stationedin Van Diemen ' s Land , and tsvo in New Zealand . The 53 th feit was to proceed to New Zealand -early in May . Orders had been received to revoke the patent for forming the new colony of North . Australia ; £ 20 , Ot * had already bam -expended on it . The tide of emigration continued to set in ¦ strong from Van Diemen ' s Land to Sydney and Port "Philip .

Sor-ra Acsiralia . —We have received favourable reports of progress bath io mining and agricultural operations from this colony . ERASCE . The murder ofthe Eucbess of Praslin , fall particulars ef which will be -found in another column , has been the principal topic of Parisian newsfor many days past . the Sattondt declares that the crime of tie Duke of Praslin is but part and parcel of the wide-spread corruption and immorality which pervade all the higher-classes in France , and of which we have had Hmd-Ty-striking examples * ri : hin the last few months in the-trials before the Court of Peers and the deiatesin the Chamber of Ee , puties .

      Aicjt-af the opposition jcarnals have commented on this-horrible act in a similar manner , and in consequence , four of thtir number namely , the' Reforme , * the ' Gaz .-tte de iFrance , ' the 'Union Monarchipne , ' and tbe * Charivari , * were all scteed at their o & ces . and at the posi-office . These seizures have excited immense sensation . The National , in reply to ihe Journal das Delete , denies that the party which it represents had charged the Ministers with having , by their policy , furnished the assassin with arms , or with having said that the Ministers wess . guilty of having produced the revolt ing depravity of morals revealed iy the crime of the Duke of Praslin - ' What we said , and what we repeat .

      which , as our readers know , we have no need to protest . ' Marshal Narvafi , Duke of Valenoia . left Paris on Saturday evening for Madrid . The Hebats s » . ys that it has reason to believe that the duke left hurriedly , in consequence of an order received from the Queen of Spain . This suddtn departure on the part of Marshal Narvaez explains the sudden expedition of a courier on horseback by tbe Duke of Glucksberg , of which mention was made bjr our Madrid correspondent a few days ago . It is the representative of France in Madrid that summons Marshal Narvaez to return to Spain . But whoever the summons may come from , there is no reason to doubt that the object i of the duke ' s journey is to take office ashead of anew ministry .

      We learn from the Pavis papers of Tuesday that two other journals , the ttomocratic Pacifgitc and the & r « j * r « e , have been seized , for offences similar to those charged against the journals previously named .

      SPAIN . The Queen hasieturned to Madrid from La Granja . but the expected reconciliation between herself and husband appears as remote as ever . Ilitberto there has been no tweeting of the royal couple . The King remains at Ei pardc , and the Queen at the palace in Madrid . The Moderado and Afrancesado papers are filled with insinuations against the Queen , and with praise of Doa Francisco's moderation . They are merely laying the foundation for further proceedings against the unhappy Isabella .

      The surprise of Fraga , in Lower Aragon , by the facewtos has been followed by an equally grave event in Catalonia . Ou the 11 th forty donaniers stationed at Figueras , went over to the Carlists . They took with them their best clothing and arms and ammunition . This defection had evidently been prepared beforehand , and there are good reasons for supposing that several Montemolinist asents , who were suspected of being in Gerona and Figueras a tew days a o , have been successfully tampering with the troops ; so we shall probably hear of further revolts .

      A last attempt made to reconcile the Queen and King-consort has failed . The conditions demanded by the King were , the removal from Madrid of General Serrano , of Ventura de la Vega , the Queen ' s private secretary , and of General Ros de Oiane , both of whom are known to be the confidential friends of the first-named ; and that when this was done , a space of four months should elapse before he returned to the society of the Queen . 1 was disposed to refrain from alluding more particularly to the motives said to have bt « n alleged for insisting on this last condition , hseause I thought it scaice ' y possible that the lung could have stated them ( though it is positively asserted he did ) , and because they were of a character the most insulting to her Majesty . His

      return to his consort after that lapse of time was not even assured—it- was made ( so the rumour ran ) to depend on a certain contingency . The effect produced by the publication of this report ia the semi-official organ has been great indeed . While sympathy is awakened in every manly bosom in favour of a helpless , unprotected woman , indignation is roused against the unscrupulous and heartless man , who , not content with what he has already done , now destroys the reputation of his own niece preparatory to pilfering her crown . His agentshave well done their work . On second consideration I feel that it would be false delicacy to conceal or pass over the opinion ofthe public on the infamous transaction just recorded . It is now five months since

      the dismireal of the Sotomayor Ministry , and tbe temporary concealment of General Serrano , who was restored to liberty by their successor ; - . It was then that the rumours of his extreme intimacy with the Palace were first circulated . It was then that he was first made an object of idolatry by the Duke < of Gluksberg . Five months and four , which his French advisers have suggested as a delay to the King , make nine . What they expect will take place at the end of " nine months all understand . The plot was internal" ! The infamous , the detestable Egalite never half so well deserved the guillotine as the man wlf * could have thus coldly and deliberately planned the ruin of a child who , whatever she now may be , was then at least confiding and innocent . — Osrrespondcxt ofthe Times .

      PORTUGAL . We have news from Lisbon to the 10 th . Inreply to the coHective note ofthe intervening powers , demanding the dismissal ofthe ministers , the latter sent an appeal to the governments of England and France . It was thought -that such a step would be loohed upon by the British Minister for Foreign Affairs as an evasive answer , and that the immediate withdrawal of the British -squadron would be the consequence . The * Government' says the Times correspondent is anxious tofortify its position , wbh-his threatened

      by the desertion of the allies on the one hand , and by afresh revolt . of the democrats or the fJabralists on the other , has resolved to increase the number of its ermy immediately by 50 , 600 men . But it will find-imraenye difficc ' ty in carrying this mrutoinento into effect , and the moneyed difficulty will . I think , bo insuperable . The present tati'qtve of the Democratic Opposition is to endeavour , by all means in its power , to obtain the victory in the coming elections , and , if defeated there , to have again recourse to arms . No period for holding these elections ,-which were to take place , under the third condition of the protocol "without delay , " * has yet been fixed .

      A-serious schism has taken place between the'Cabralists and Chartists of Lisbon , which will -be in favour ot the Democrats at the elections .

      SW 1 TZEE . LAND . An-imporbnt debate took place on the 16 th in the Swiss Diet , on the subject -of the revision of the federal Pact . The discussion was long and animated , and the result , which was favourable to the revision of the Pact , shows the progress the question has made in public opinion , in former years the proposition was always rejected'by a large majority .. A committee , consisting of fourteen members , was nominated with the mission to -prepare a report , and to give a preliminary opinion as to a project of revision . The members of this commission—M . Ochsenbein , M . Furror , 31 . B ' nmer , M . Munziger , M . Sarracin , M . Bachestein , M- Naff . M . Frey-Herese , M . Hern , M . Luvini , M . Bruey , & c , are , as a matter of course , radicals . The cantons of the Sanderbund abstained from voting .

      The Ctoiia Feifcral Gazette BEnouncesthat the majority of tbe Swiss Diet has -just fixed a delay ofe fortnight for the Sonderbund to destroy all the forts that it-haa raised , on pain ef a vote from the Yorort for their ^ estruction by the federal troops . The Swiss Diet appears disposed to retaliate on M . Gufc-nVfor the recent attack which he made on the liberal party in the chamber . It will be recollected that there is a boundary question of old standing unsettled between France and -the confederacy . By the treaty of Vienna , the Valley ofthe Dappes , which has been included by France in the department ofthe Ain . was adjudged by right to the canton of Vaud . The subject has , on former occasions , been several times brought forward in the federal

      legislature , and successively postponed from various accidental > -auses . On the 13 th , & Dancv , tbe deputy of Y & ud , however , expressed his opinion that the present time was very opportune for pressing the just demand ofthe canton fer the recovery of its territory , and -since the cabinet of the Tuileries has shown such anxiety to interfere in the affairs of Switzerland , and to invoke the treaty « f Vienna , it ought to be glad to set an example of the cheerful observance of that treaty , by restoring to the canton of Vaud a country which undoubtedly belongs to it . On the question being put to the vote the decision was unanimously adopted that the Vorort should be empowered to make the demand on France .

      Ou the 19 th the Diet commenced the discussion ot the affairs of the ostwents of the Argau . Many deputies declared that they would not again enter upon a subject which they considered terminated . The deputy for Ar ^ au , in the name of the canton which he represented , said that he and his constituents were satisfied to leave-matters as they now are , and that no one in Argaa wished for the restoration of tbe convents , with the exception of the clen ? f' •"'" J had a pecuniary interest in the -matter . Several motions and counter-motf < ma were made upon this subject , all leading to the re-establishment of tho convents , bst they wereaU rejected by a considerable majority .

      ITALY . IMPORXANr NEWS . A letter from Bologna brings the following highly inierestisignews : — * An cstafette has just arrived herefrom Ferrara . He brougita despatch for Cardinal Amat , and then continued his journey to Rome . The despatch announces th £ t our eternal enemies the Austnans took possession , oa the 13 th . of all the barriers of the town and tfee principal buildings , with the exception of the pelace of tbe Cardinal Legate and the prisons . Thisact of aggression was done suddenly and by armed force . Cardinal Ciaccbi could only oppose a feeble resistance _ in the shape of a seeooi protest . The Austrian troops marched regular ^ into the town , leaving detach-Bttnts of from thirty to forty men at different posts ucderthe command of an officer . Austrian

      cannoc stsa then draws up in the public squares , patrols p araded the streets , and the city in fact was regulariy occupied by the military . Bridges of boats hiVe been constructed oa the Po , ammunition has arrived , and more troops are expected . The excitement created by ihit-news at Bologna maybe easily imag ined . Crowds assembled in the streets , and before the palace of Cardinal Amat , who it was thought { would publish a proclamation to calm the publfemind . Arrests have taken place at Modena . Thev were looked upon as a pretext given to Austria to advance towards Bologna and Tuscany . Every one isanxiously awaiting to know hotv the French S ° Th » Constitution ^ says : — 'It appears" that ( the object ofthe late conspiracy at Rome waste seize on the person of Pins IX ., and to carry him off to Sn-S . towards the Neapolitan frontier , where he So have been kept as ahostageby the cardtnab . 5- i ^ , «? rpd carabineers were for that purpose to S ; ' « e - ftEtSSW *™ * **

      population on the aightof July 17 . throwing about Inflammable matters , and setting fire to the haystores of Ciceronacchio . ' ' The fellowine ia the second pro ' eat of the Cardinal Legate of Ferrara , above alluded to : — * In the most holy name of God , in the Pontificate of Pius IX ., and the second year of his reign , at Ferrara , on this Friday , the 13 th day of August , 1847 : —I , Dr Elisco Monti , Pontifical notary-public , residing at Ferrara , ea receiving orders from the Cardinal Legate of that town , proceeded to the Palase which is the seat of the government , and there took down the following protest dictated to me by the most Rev . Cardinal Louis Ciacchi , Apostolic Legale for the city and province of Ferrara : —

      ' Notwithstanding the protest which 1 addresseu on the Sth instant to Lieut .-Marshal Count Auesperg , commanding , in the name of the Emperor of Austria , the fortress and Imperialtroops , relative to Austrian patrols going through the town , a protest which I considered it my duty to communicate toi the superior government , by whom it was approved of , as appears from a despatch received from the Secretory of State , a military deputation came beforeae to-day at noon , with an almost menacing aspect , and handed me a notice written by the hand of the said Lieutenant-Marshal , declaring that 'a despatch from Milan , of his Excellency the General-in-Chief Count Itadctski , dated August 11 , 1847 . gavehim apositive order to occupy the principal post of that place , as

      well as the gates of the city of Ferrara ; that being decided on in conformity with the priuciplesof military service , and in perfect accord with our undoubted right , ' that occupation has been carried into execution this day at one o ' clock in the afternoon ; and as T consider this act to be a manifest violation of the sacred rights which his Holiness and the Hsdy See possess over tho city and province oi Feirara , and not being willing by my silence to in any way prejudice these rights , I , in my quality of representative of the Holy See in the said city aud province , do i-ereby protest formally against tbe occupation which has just been effected . 1 declare it to be altogether ill-gal and arbitrary , and causing prejudice to the dominion and sovereignty of the Holy See over its states . I protest with so much the more reason

      against this act , that it has been executed without any conduct , either on tho part of the government or ofthe inhabitants , having served as a motive for it , and becauseit took place in tho open day , when there were most persons abroad , with public offence to the political government and to tne trooos which were peaceably occupying the different posts , and in fine of the most menacing and abrupt manner , so that there was scarcely time to give notice of the said intention to thepontificial officers in command ef these posts . ' * This is what his Eminence protested in the most formal manner , ordering that the original of this protest be preserved in my resistors , and that copies be sent to the Secretary of State , to the Austrian military commander , and to this apostolic legation , in perpetual memory ofthe fact .

      ' Executed , read , andmade public by me , in aclear and intelligible voice , at tbo Chateau of Ferrara , in the presence of the following creditable witnesses . ( Signed ) ' Louis CARwsAii Ciaccbi , Apostolic Legate of the city and province of Ferrara . * Flami > ius Borrour , advocate , witnei = f . ' J ! i , ' ' , " , Fbascois-Marzb Cablkiti , Doctor of Laws , witness . ' Eusio Mosn . Doctor of Laws , Notary ; demanded to draw up the above act . The publication ofthe protest of Cardinal Ciacchi at Rome , with that approbation given to it by the Pope , produced in that city the utmost exasperation .

      The protest was immediately printed , and sold in tens of thousands by hawkers through the streets . In a supplement , > ublished on the occasion by the Cotcmporanco that journal says , We need not praise this document . It needs no comment . The intelligence of our fellow-citiz * ns will supply the place of all comment , and we can add nothing to tho praise which all Rome gives to Cardinal Ciacchi , who has known how , by an act of firmness and dignity , to defend the inviolablerights ofthe sovereign and tho pontificial states . Glory to the legate ! Glory to the Secretary of State who identifies himself so well with the prince ! Immortal glory to Pius IX ., to whom the state will owe its independence !'

      The Nuremberg correspondent of the 19 th gives a letter from Rome dated the 10 th , in which it is affirmed that on the 8 th two individuals were arrested , who acknowledged that before leaving Fabriano they had been confessed and absolved , and that they had started for Rome , supplied with twenty scudi each , to assassinate Ciceronacchio and a high functionary of state . The same journal gives , under the same date , that the judge of Cosenza , in Calabria , on whom the populace desired to take vengeance for having condemned to death the brothers Bandiera , was tied upon an as ? , and after being thus driven round the town , was flayed alive ! GERMANY .

      Accounts from Vienna to tbe 11 th inst . state that great alarm was felt at the excitement that prevailed at Lemburg . Reinforcements have been ordered to march to the Italian frontier , consisting ofthe 4 th regiment of Chevaux-legers and two battalions of infantry . A squadron of cavalry has been ordered from Hungary into Middle-Austria , and orders have been sent to a cavalry regiment to be ready to advance towards the Italian frontier at a moment ' s notice .

      GREECE . ^ Aihess , Aug . 10 . —Yesterday at noon his Majesty King Othe , surrounded by his ministers and his guards , ! proceeded in regal state to open the new session of parliament . TURKEY . The accounts from Constantinople of the 7 th inst . state that the Divan continued to occupy itself seriously with the situation of Albania . The insurrection , it appears , was daily gaining ground , but as yet no engagement had taken place between the rebels and the Ottoman troops . Upper and Lower Albania were both in arms against the Porte , the insurgents of the former being commanded by Zeinel Bey , and those of the latter by Djouleka . The Turkish General was awaiting the arrival of reinforcements and of tbe blockading squadron to commence operations .

      UNITED STATES . TheSarahSands , screw steamer , Captain Thompson , arrived at ; Liverpool Tuesday morning , having sailed from New York on the 4 th inst ., and being thus rather under 18 days on her passage . The most contradictory reports continued to be received from thes ? at of war , and it had not yet been ascertained whether General Pierce had a battle with the Mexicans at National Bridge or not . The skirmish of Colonel de Russey with the Mexicans at Uuquetia , and his successful retreat , were

      contfirmed . Santa Anna , according to accounts received from the city of Mexico , was favourably inclined to peace , but many regarded the movements towards g » eace made by the Mexican government merely as so many ruses de guerre of Santa Anna to gain time . On the part of the United States , it is now known tfiat M . Trist is provided with full powers 11 make a treaty , that the British Minister of Mexico had tried to bring about a neeociation , and had sent his Secretary of Legation from the city of Mexico to General Scott , and it was confidently rumoured that the latter bad delayed his advance on the capital in consequence .

      Akoiuer Murder is Paris . —The neighbourhood ofthe Bourse was thrown into consternation a little before two o ' clock on Friday , by the intelligence that a murder had just been committed on theelerk of M . Meyer-Spielmao , money-changer , rue Neuve-Nivirnue , 26 . It appears that tbe clerk of a German , aged 18 , was sitting behind th ° ' tun-railing which is usually found in s »<> l » shops . wli « i a welldressed man , of about OO , entcied , aud presented a bill of exchange . Wtffet the young man was unfolding it the o'ho 1 " stretched forward his hand through ti . ciictle opening in the grating , and seized on a wooden cup filled with gold , and a handful of banknotes , with which he attempted to make off . The clerk , however , who perceived the movement , rushed

      round into the open part ef the shop , and seized the thief . The latter then drawing out a poinard-knife stabbed the young man in the hand and forehead ; Theelerk , bowwer , struggled with him , crying out all the time loudly for help . The clerk , however , contrived to force the weapon from him , and in bis turn plunged it into the man ' s leg , and cut the fingers of his right hand . In the midst efthe struggle the knife fell , and the thief stooped down to pick it up . The clerk availed himself of the chance , and , opening the door , again shouted for helo . A servant girl at the same moment entered

      the shop from the interior of the house , and the thief , finding himself hard-pressed , made a last effort , and , snatching up the knife , plunged it twice into the lower part of the abdomen of the unfortunate clerk , who fell to the ground in an expiring state The murderer then darted towards the Bourse , but was overtaken by a commissioflnaire and M . Fnsehmuth . the proprietor of the baker ' s shop opposite On his person were found another poinard-knife and several pieces of gold . The police agent who first came up recognised him ao a thief by profession . The unfortunate clerk was taken to the hospital ofthe Hotel-Dieu in a litter , but expired on the

      * John Reys and John Buckley , of Ashton . ' —This case we find similar to that of Mr Seattle , and also til 1 1 *? ^ ^?^ ' Wllh an MM 1 * desire that the directors will ado pt such measures as will effectually prevent such unpleasant disputes between ofhoers and shareholders , convinced that a repetition of such complaints must have a strong tendency to injure tho Company . ( Signr-d , ) 'J . Ska-w , J . A . Fussku , , '— Hewiit , R . Kidd , " M * , „ ,, * B . RosniON . ' Mr U Ukkor then brought on the question of Loans , and recommended that a Loan Fund be established ; that on a loan being granted , each party having a loan should rive two reanonsiMo nav .

      ties as securities , and that such loans should be charged five per cent , interest . ' He was sure their Company , and the business connected with it , would increase until they required a place as large as Somerset House . It was a hardship to anv man to be compelled to sell his land from want of a little money , even though he obtained £ 100 for it . He should like the poor men to keep their allotments , and these who had money to join the Land Purchase Department . Mr T . & . ABK said , he had given notice of motion on the subject , and he would , now move it— 'That

      this Conference authorises the establishment of a Loan Association , for the purpose of assisting members located upon the Company ' s property , by the advancement of loans , to be repaid by weekly instalments , at the rate of one shilling for £ 5 , the interest upon such loans to be charged at £ 5 per cent . ' Mr Clark said , Loan Societies generally had 2 s . per week , as the repayment of such loans , but he thought the sums per week might be made much less , and more convenient for the allottees . He should like , if possible , the Association to be enrolled—although this was a nominal security , it was held as something by the people .

      Mr \ YiLO seconded the raolion , and said he had received _ particular instructions on this point from his constituents , and they had persons in their neighbourhood who could not go on an estate without aid . He thought Local Associations would not do—they must be national . Mr . J . Shaw said , he had instructions from his constituents , who were desirous that no loans should be advanced from the Company ' s stock , but that the districts should form Loan Societies am-ngst themselves . He moved as an amendment— ' That in order to provide for the wants of the allottees who may require loans of money , we hereby recommend to the various branches throughout the country to establish amongst themselves Loan Societies , to be under their own maKagement . ' After a few words from Mr Wheeler ,

      Mr O'Coskor moved another amendment , as follows : — ' That a Loan Fund bo established for the purpose of aiding poor occupants on the Company ' s estate , and that all parties receiving loans shall give the following security to the Company ; that is , that a Committee of Inquiry shall be appointed in each district by a majority of the shareholders in tfcat district , who shall lecommend the deserving parties who require a loan , under arrangements to be annexed , on the following conditions : that is to say , ; that the Committee of Inquiry shall receive a promissory note , at such date as shall be decided upon , from two solvent persons in the district , and being paid up shareholders ; the interest to be £ 5 per cent . ' Mr O'Connor having fully explained the purport of his amendment , it was seconded by Mr T . M . WiiEBiER , upon which Mr Clark , with permission , withdrew his motion .

      Mr Dixon , Mr Donovas , and Mr S . Kvdd supported the proposition moved by Mr O Connor . MrBuRRELL said he would support Mr O'Connor ' s proposition , but thought a moral character should be held sufficient security , as he be ' . ieved some of the most deserving would find it most difficult to find two securities . Mr Humphmes said it was a question that had been much discussed by his constituents , and as Mr O'Connor ' s proposition would be the best calculated

      to meet their views , he would support that motion . MrGrassby moved , 'That a committee be appointed to draw up rules and regulations for the establishment of a Loan Fund . Mr Li . ykev thought persons of unimpeached and unimpeachable character would find it difficult to obtain security . Mr Jou . v Shaw withdrew his amendment . Mr O'Connor ' s motion was carried unanimously . Mr Grassbv having again moved his resolution , which was seconded by Mr O'Connor ,

      Mr Rankin moved as an amendment , 'That the directors he such committee , ' which was seconded , and the amendment was carried . Mr Rankin moved , That it be left to tho directors as to the amount that shall be taken from the Expense Fund , ' which was seconded . Mr WtnB moved , ' That the fund be raised bv shareholders , at 2 s . C : l . each share . Mr Ciark seconded the amendment of Mr

      Webb . Mr Martin Judb , seconded by Mr Wild , moved' That a Loan Fund be established by the payment of one shilling from each irember , the same to be deposited in the National Land and Labour Bank , and that the directors be empowered to advance Loans on tho security set forth in Mr O'Connor ' s resolution . Mr Wheeler supported Mr Rankin ' s motion , Mr O'Connor thought Mr Rankin ' s the best , and that the directors should make a report to the Company . Mr Wild said , he would rather that Mr Jude had made his proposition sixpence per member . Mr Doo tva . v did not see tho necessity of levying fresh taxes—where those in existence would meet the circumstances , and hence he would support Mr Rankin ' s motion .

      Mr Clark did not think the Expense Fund could be relied on alone , and hence he would support Mr Webb's proposition . Mr O'Connor said , the proposition relative lo the Expense Fund would meet present circumstances , and they would have another Conference before other circumstances would arise . After a few words from Mr Taylor , the question was put to the vote , and Mr Rankin ' s motion was carried by a great majority .

      LI 1 HTATIO . V OP THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS Iff THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . Mr Donovan moved— ' That in the opinion of this Conference , the present Company is quite extensive enough , and that the directors have more to do than we can reasonab ' y expect fivo individuals to perforin , therefore , no new members can be admitted after the first day of September , 1847 . ' Seconded byMrNuttall . Mr T . Clkvk could not agree with the motion ; other institutions were in existence numbering moro than the Land Company did , and as it was to be a National Company , he thought they might still continue . He would therefore move— ' That the Company consist of an unlimited number of members . ' The amendment was seconded , and the Cnnfp . rp . nro ¦ ldyoul'IKttl . I Afternoon Sitting .

      Mr Sweet resumed the chair at half-past two o ' clock ; The Edinburgh delegate , having just arrived , took his seat . The 'Election of Officers' was next considered . Mr Sherrington proposed— ' That the number of Directors be seven . ' Mr Jenkins seconded the motion , Mr Rankin proposed— 'That the number continue five , ' which was seconded . Mr O'Connor supported the amendment , thinking five sufficient for all the purposes , as they would employ extra clerks if business required it . He saw no necessity for adding to the board of directors . Mr S . Kydd said , he was instructed to vote for an increase in the number of directors and should support that motion .

      Mr Sherrington was satisfied that five could not do the business . Mr Smith thought the present number amply sufficient ; indeed , ho had been instructed to move for three , but should support the present amendment . Mr Grassby asked- Were the directors to go out lecturing ? If not , tho present number would jje aufcficicnt . Mr O'Connoe said , he Was about to enter his protest against tho directors going about as lecturers , —their place was the office . Mr Donovan said , if that was the case , he should liko to know , what was the business of the direc tors ?

      Mr Doyle explained tbe duties of a director . Mr Webb thought two moro directors necessary . It was necessary the directors should travel occasionally , and hence he should support the motion for an additional number . , , Mr Clark entered into an exposition of tho duties of a director . . . ... Mr Grassby asked—Under perfect registration could a secretary bo a director ? Mr Mirfield would oppose any addition to the board of directors . Mr J . Shaw , would support ( in accordance with the wiihea of his constituents ) , tho motion for an additional number . Mr Jcde supported the amendment for five . Mr Nuttall hoped ^ tho Chartist movement would

      Akoiuer Murder Is Paris.—The Neighbourho...

      not be forgotten , but he thought , with the aid of clerks , the five could do the work . It would cost upwards of £ 200 extra , to appoint two extra directors . Mr Linney would support the motion for seven , as ho wished some of tho directors to be eut as lecturers occasionally , Mr Hcmpurikr would support the motion for seven ; the two directors would not coat more than two efficient clerks . Mr Armstead thought the lesser number tho most likely to create the greatest amount of unanimity , hence he would support the amendment for five . Mr Edwarbs said the last argument appeared to possess much reason , and as there would be a sufficient number of clerks , he would support the smaller number of directors .

      Mr Wild said , according to the reasahing jllit advanced , the unanimity would be greatest , if there was but one . It had been shown that the direotora were beneficially employed in the office , but it had been also shown that the funds increased , when the directors travelled tho country . If they did not increase the number now , they must at another time , and that too , at an early period . After a few words from Mr Siierrinoton—The motion for five was carried . The election ofthe board was then proceeded with . The following persons went to the poll : —Feargus O'Connor , Philip M'Grath , Thomas Clark , Christopher Doyle , Samuel Kydd . Willliara Dixon , Peter Murray M'Douall , Gibson Newbeggin . Messrs . O'Connor , M'Grath , Clark , Doyle , and Dixon , were declared elected .

      'Ihe next question was , — ' Upon what conditions , the allottees should be allowed to sell their allotments . ' Mr Kydd moved :- 'That tho directors be tho medium for effecting all sales of allotments and transfers of property in connection with the estates . ' Mr O'Connor supported Mr Kydd ' s motion . Mr Wheeler thought some little alteration was necessary , beforothe resolution was passed . Mr Clark supported the motion of Mr Kydd . Mr Edwards wished to know if they wished to prevent sales ? If it was merely intended that the

      directors should have cognizance * of all sales , he could agree with the motion . Mr O'Connor said , Mr Kydd ' s motion would not prevent sales , but would preventfr . iudulent sales . He would submit the following motion ' . — ' That in all cases of sale of allotments the directors beempowewd to act as trustees for the Company , to the following extent , that is , —that in all such cases , the purchase money shall be pai . l through the directors , and the directors shall be authorised to withhold from the purchase money such amount as shall be legally and justly due fey the vendor to the Company . '

      Mr O Connor ' s motion was seconded by Mr Monday . Mr Wheeler said , he scarcely understood tho matter , and would like Mr 0 Connor to explain ; upon which Mr O'Connor entered into a lucid exposition . Mr Rankin said , if the plan offered any advantage it should be given to the non-shareholders rather than to the shareholder . Mr Burrell thought all persons selling , should be compelled to apply to the directors for a deed of transfer , and they should have a printed deed ready for that purpose , so that each party might fill it up . Mr Sherrington thought it would be an advantage to the allottees if there were restrictions on the sale of allotments . After a few observations from Messrs Fusselland

      Wild , Mr Wheelek said , there was in the Joint Stock Act a rule for tho guidance of buyers and sellers , and hence it waslosfc time to discuss it , Mr O'Connor said , his resolution was in accordance with the Act . Mr Linney said , he was like his friend , Mr Sherrington—he would place everything he could in tho way to prevent sales . Mr Jude followed with similar remarks . The vote was then taken and Mr O'Connor ' s tion was declared to be carried unanimously . Mr Sutton , seconded by Mr Nuttal ) , moved' That all parties selling their allotments before occupation , shall pay five per cent , upon the purchase money , such per centage to be placed in the redemption department of the Land and Labour Bank , for the benefit of the Company .

      Mr Dixon said , persons had taken up shares for tho express purpose of makirg money , and hence there should bo restrictions . Mr O'Connor said , whilst they did justice to themselves , they should not do injustice to others , and decidedly the Company was benefitted by the sums of money brought in . Mr Wheeler said , the resolution was iu opposition to tho Act , which said thoy had a right to sell , and that the sum to bo charged for the transfer was one shilling . Mr Nuttall would , under those circumstances , withdraw his motion .

      Tho adjourned debate on the ' Limitation ofthe Number of Members' was resumed . Mr O'Connor said , it was originally a proposition of his own , that they should close at the 4 th seetion , but he now saw that they could conduct a larger number . He had received four packing-cases full ef letters , asking him not to close , but to allow therii to join . Considering all things , he was willing to go on , and allow tho money of the rich to help the poor who had previously joined . Were they to stop now . persons would start rival schemes who would gull the public , and all their failures would be laid at the original Company ' s door . He was now perfectly willing to make the society truly national . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Shaw said , he had no objection to the Com - pany being extended to forty sections , but ho thought the poor who came in first should havo an opportunity of coming into the balloting box .

      Mr Shkiikixuton said , his constituents were in favour of closing at tho fourth section , and he was not aware that the fifth was opened until he arrived at Manchester . Mr Burrell said , he was in favour of keeping tho Company open , as it would aid the Bank , and the funds flowing in there would aid the first , second , and third sections . Mr O'Connor coincided with what had fallen from Mr Burrell . Mr Rankin felt that the arguments of Me ~ srs O'Connor and Burrell cut against themselves , and were really in favour of the immediate closing . Mr Wild said , the opinions of those whom he represented , were in favour of extending the Company .

      Mr Doyle said , the Company was as capable of serving millions as it was thousands ; in fact , he had heard no argument to induce him to support the proposition of immediato closing , and he believed , if the men of Manchester reviewed tho ground , they would come to a different « eoiiclusion to that arrived at by Mr Rankin . Mr Donovan sai-J , he thought the merits ofthe Company could not be tested uu \ il it closed , and he was anxious to show that the Company was a reproductive one . Mr Humphries wished to know how it was the Company had been announced as closed , and was yet opened . If they could show him , they would be enabled to benefit men like those he represented , who were in the first section , he would support its continuing open . If not , he was instructed to move that it close .

      Mr M'Grath said the directors never had announced that the Company would close . They had announced that the fourth section would be closed at a given time . He was in favour of its continuing . As to reproduction , ho thought the produce would be shown immediately the machinery was in operation . If the Company consisted of 300 , 000 , it would be as . « ciiy muimgcU as it was now . It had been argued an extension of shares would diminish the prizes in the ballet ; not so , for in proportion as the capital increased so did the chances in tho ballot increase . wmmfvi 0 theremU 8 t Dea limit somewhere , but he •^ MW ^^ Vi ^ Mr Jude thought Mr O'Connor was wrong wntn he said no other Company would get tbe support this Company had ; if so , why fear any other ?

      MrFussBLL said , he had heard no arguments to induce him to vote for curtailing the time for keeping open the Company . He did not think tho other societies mentioned would succeed , unless they found an O'Connor to place at their head . Mr Rice said , he was quite persuaded that those coming in had capital , and that the fifth and sixth sections would . be located before the first ; hence , he was for closing , Mr WuEKLitR said he was onco in favour of keeping open , but he had now arrived at a different conclusion , and thought it would be advantageous to closo now . Thoy had now a fair number of members to locate , and could raise a considerable sum on the property , and therefore it would be wise to rest a bit . Mr O'Connor said , if the Company closed now it would lose the advantage of the Land Purchase Department . Mr Saunders said , ho was in favour of closing . Mr Webb said , his constituents were in favour of

      continuance . Mr Taylor said , Mr Webb was fortunate in having such a constituency ; his constituency had passed an unanimous vote in favour of closing , Mr Smith ( Stockport ) was in favour of going on , Mr Barber said tho Norwich people were in favour of keeping tho Company open , as it would be the best and surest way of all getting located . Mr Wilms was in favour of keeping tho Company open . r ' Mr 6 wMntLBain , if Mr O'Connor would take it on mm to proceed . he was instructed to vote with him . Mr AnNSKADsaid , he thought some of tho friends were selfaah . The Company was formed for the purpose of relieving the Labour market , and now some wished it to be closed , Mr Kydd said , the parties who wished the Company to be kept open viewed tbe others who wished it to close as opponents ; but they only ' wished it to close for it time , and afterwards to open a second

      Akoiuer Murder Is Paris.—The Neighbourho...

      Company , and go on with renewed energy . His constituents were in favour of closing . Ho did not think the first section more selfish than any other . Mr Clark thought that Mr Donovan and those who supported him were committins ; a crime against the labourers of this country , which he could ' only resard as a species of insanity ; he meant nothing offensive , but he had not heard a single argument to induce hira to believe that the operatives of one section would interfere with or injure the other . Mr Giiassby said , he did not wish the system to stop whilst a single man remained who wished to go upon the Land . He movod tho following amendment - . — 'That this Company close so soonasit shall amount to 48 , 000 members , and that the directors bo requested to open a second Company ircmediately . ' Mr GiEDmh seconded the amendment . ¦¦ ,

      Mr Dixon replied to the speech of Mr Clarke , trnd supported the motion of Mr Donovan . Mr O'Connor said he would support Mr Grassby ' s " motion . It would give the people desirous ol joining a hint , not from tho directors , but from this Conference ; and ho would pledge himself , if adopted , to carry it out . He trusted it would bring about unanimity of feeling . He repeated , he bad great pleasure in supporting Mr Grassby ' s amendment . I-. '! Donovan said he had no objection . Mr Muscat was in favour of elosiag . Mr Jones said , he was in favour of closing . Mr Astill said , his constituents were in favor 01 closing . # Harding said , he thought It would take along time to locate the present numbers . His constituents were of opinion that the Company had not yet proved its capabilities of carrying out its objects * He was in favour of closing . Afternoon Sitting .

      Mr Habdwg havingresumed his seat , the question was then put from the chair , Mr Grassby having consented that his motion should stand , ' The 31 st day of December . ' Mr Grassby ' s motion was carried . The Conference then adjourned at 8 o ' clock . Friday , August 20 th . Mr James Sweet resumed the chair at half-paafj nine . Mr Donovan moved , and Mr Rankin seconded—• That the votes on the motion that a time be appointed for the closing of the Company , be recorded , ' Carried . The 'Rules' were next taken into consideration . Mr O'CoN . vor read a Code of Rules drawn up in accordaneo with Act of Parliament .

      Mr Rankin said , that it appeared the rales just read gave do power to localities te pay their officers * Mr Wheeler—The law will not allow it . It was then agreed that the rules he gone throogil seriatim , for the purpose of explanation to the members ¦ of Conference . [ During the discussion . Mr O'Connor read a letter from a Tent ( Blooming Rose ) of Rcchabites ' , enclosing a deposit of £ 10 for tha National Land and Labour Bank . *) During the discussion of the Rules , Mr Wnusfstt moved— ' That the Family Tickets be ballotted for . by themselves ; ' which w . 11 seconded by Mr Sherrington—opposed by Mr Burrell and Mr Webb ^ and supported by'Mr O'Connor . .

      Mr Webb moved an amendment , to the effect- * That if a Family Ticket were drawn too late in tha ballot for a snfficiensy of land to meet the requirements of such ticket , it should stand over until tha next estate was purchased . ' Seconded by Ms , Taylor .

      Mr Edwards opposed' Mr Webb ' s amendment . Mr Donovan was in favour of tho rule as it stood at present . Mr Rankin moved— ' That the rule remain unaltered . ' Seconded by Mr Shaw . Mr Clark said , he thought Mr Webb ' s a dangerousresolution , and Mr "Wheeler ' s impracticable . Mr Webb ' s would bo decidedly unjust ; insomuch , as in the ballot happening after the one family ticket had , been drawn , the two first tickets miaht be family tickets , and any sacrifice made by shareholders ' of family tickets was compensated for by tbo happinesa ofbeing . loeated together when they obtained thei ^ priz 3 , , . Mr O'Connor thought the following would be the best arrangement for family tickets : — ' That in all ' cascsof Family Tickets drawing prizes , the parties ? drawing such prizes shall pay respectively , for each , share of £ 1 , 63 ., the sum of 10 s . previously to being located . '

      Mr Morgan said , he thought it unfair that the old rule should remain unaltered . Mr Smith ( Stockport ) would support the rule as iii stood . Mr Martin Jude objected to any alteration in the present mode of balloting . Mr Wild opposed Mr Webb's amendment . Mr Smith ( Bradford ) was at a loss to find any reasons in favour of alteration , and hence he should vote for the rule as it stood . Mr Tattersall thought the matter had better ba left with the directors until the several constituencies had discussed tho matter . Mr M'Grath thought they could not do better than keep the rule as it at present stood . Family tickets stood a very good chance in the ballot ; there were at least three drawn in the last ballot . Mr Grassby—Six . Mr MmpiELD would support the rule as it stood .

      After a few words from Mr Samuel Kydd and Ut Muxdat , Mr O ' Connor wished to hive sueh an arrangement as would make it thoroughly clear what quantity ef land should be for individual shareholders , and what for family tickets , but he would withdraw his motion , upon condition that the Conference volcd pro and con on the rule as it stood . The question was then put to the vote , and the motion that the rule stand as at present was carried . The Conference then adjourned . Mr Sweet resumed the Chair at half past twoo ' clcck . The discusiion on the E . ules was proceeded with .

      Mr Saunders moved— ' Thatci ^ ht two-acre shares , or four four-acre shares be permitted to comprise a Family Ticket . ' Mr . Dawson seconded the motion . Messrs . Nuttall and Sutton moved— 'Thatthe rule stand as at present . ' The latter motion wa g carried . Mr Clark moved— ' That that part of the rules expunging those children under eighteen years , be expunged from the rules . ' The motion was seconded and carried . Mr O'Connor moved— 'That all parties to be located get one month's notice , with tho name , number , and place stated . ' The motion was seconded and carried .

      The Rules having been gone through , and each delegate having taken part in their discussion , they were , with slight alterations and amendments , adopted . Mr Wbbb moved— ' That all parties having allotments , and qualified , be employed in building on and preparing the estates on which their allotments may be situated . ' Seconded by a delegate . Mr O'Co . xnor said , it was impoasio . ' e . Many ofthe allottees could not do anything liko the work an agricultural labourer would under a bailiff . An amendment was moved and seconded by Messrs " Foster and Donovan— 'That Mr O'Connor be allowed to select the people to be employed . ' Mr IIl-jiphries moved— ' That Mr T . M . Wheeler had performed his duties as financial secretary to the satisfaction of this Conference , and that a vote of thanks be awarded to him . ' Seconded by Mr Hornby and carried :

      Mr Nuttall moved- ' That the ballot take place in Manchester and other towns in succession '—which was seconded . Messrs Shaw and O'Co . vxon showed the utter impossibility of having » perambulating ballot . Mr Rankin supported the proposition . Mr J . A . Fusskil thought it quite to tho satisfaction ol the country that tha ballot should take place in London . Mr Smith ( Bradford ) did not like the notion of a rambling ballot box . Mr Donovan contended for the superiority of holding a perambulating ballot .

      -The question was put and lost , consequently the balloting will continue to take place in London . the f \ 3 ^ . ! < s « Aw and Robert Kidd brought up case of Robert Graflfflliyttee for inquiring into the thinking his location was at thai plSee . * Lowbands , from Hull , and had brought his family , consisting " ol nine children , as well as his goods , the committee recommended that the directors . allow him sufficient money to return home again . Mr O'Connor said , Graham ' s name waaneitber in the Star nor on the list , as an allottee at Lowbands , ho therefore recommended that he should get five pounds from his aid money , and if it should be found that the directors were to blame , they should then repay the amount , This amendment was assented to . _ Mr Robert Kidd moved the following : — ' That alist of the local secretaries be printed and forwarded to all the branches . '

      _ ' That some means be adopted of better promulgating the principles in Scotland . ' ' That a purchase be made as far north as possible , as soon as can be done consistent with the interest of the company .
