      M I S C K Llan E Ous. The New Council Of...

      The second annual meeting of the "Westminster Freehold Land Society was held last Wednesday evening , at the Parthenium Rooms , St . Martin ' a-lane , P . E . Barnes , Esq in the chair . From the report of the committee it appeared that 1340 shares had been taken , and the total Bum subscribed was £ 7968 Is . 6 d . Estates at Ea 3 t M ousley and Reigate , Surrey , had been purchased . The former had been allotted to 130 members , and the latter would be allotted in the ensuing autumn . Fifty freefor th

      holders had claimed to vote as paid-up members e East Moulsev e 6 tate , and the purchase at Reigate ( where there were a ' large number of members ) would create so many independent voters as entirely to neutralize the great influence of Lord Somers in that borough . The committee were in treaty for estates in Middlesex . An alteration in the rules , whereby the society would be enabled to make purchases more rapidly , was agreed to . The report was unanimously adopted , and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings .

      Mr . Brown , of Turnmill-street , Clerkenwell , is liable for certain debts contracted in relieving the Polish Refugees . Mr . Brown has not acted from any mercenary motive in succouring the unfortunates , and deserves the support of those who can afford to help him .

      The Medway Arrived On Thursday At Southa...

      The Medway arrived on Thursday at Southampton with American mails . The chief news is that there is an insurrection in New Grenada , caused by some attempts at taxation obnoxious to the people . There is a demand in some of the states of America for educated female physicians . The opening of the triennial Belgian Exhibition of Painting , Sculpture , and the Fine Arts , took place on Sunday , at Brussels , in presence of the King in person . A letter from Vienna in the Cologne Gazette states that there is great agitation in Servia , and that an insurrection is expected . Another dreadful fire has destroyed a large portion of San Francisco . Tlio tiling is getting stale . It excites no interest . One begins to lose all pity for people who are so reckless . This time it is said to have been the work of an incendiary , but who knows .

      One of the two Lascars recently tried at Calcutta for burning the . ship Ariel , has been convicted of the crime ; sentence had not been passed . The Yank * cb arc rigging a flying steamship , fitted with engines of VI borne power . iSlie is intended to travel from twenty-four to fifty miles an hour . It has a rudder . The inventor bears the uncomfortable name of Itobjohn . Tom Spring , of pugiiistir . renown , whose real name was TlionwH Wiiucr , died on Wednesday morning . Maria Cage wan executed at Ipswich , on Tuesday , for the murder of her husband by poison . She declared herself innocent to the last .

      A party of burglars scaled the walls of the City Bridewell , in ] Jri ( Jg (; -ntret-t , l $ i ; icUfnar « , and carried oil" u quantity of plute , on Monday . This * daring act is supposed to have been performed by some fellows who hud been imprisoned there . A detachment of the Fourth I .. i «? ht Dragoons , who were treated to the Exhibition by their Colonel on Thursday , got drunk in the evening and rioted at the Waterloo Station . No one was killed , but many hurt ; and an extra police force required to capture the rioters . An old man Iris been knocked down and robbed , in the open day , near Bristol . The robber has been captured .

      A great Dumber of men , at least thirty , most likely forty , have be * li killed by an explosion of fiie-damp , at . the ' Wubhington Colliery , near . Newcastle . A man , who bravely ventured down with a comrade , immediately after the explosion , has since died . The jury which sat to inquire into the cauHCH of the dreadful accident at the Malabo Vale coal woiks , returned on Saturday the following v < rdic . t ; - " Mini-Hluughter a ^ nuist Moses ( jiilderoy . Stewart , the manager of the works , and lleiny Pillinger , the bailiff . " They were accordingly committed for trial on the coroner '*) warrantand they were at once taken into custody .

      , A v ( ry Heiious fire happened at Richmond early on ( Saturday morning . It broke out at the house of a baker in Upper llill-r . treet . 'flic inmate h fortunately were aroused from their bedn and escaped in Hafety ; but the iire i / ained ground so hwiftly that it was deemed neees-Hiiry to ^ end to London for cngim-H ; they arrived at full ppced and the spread of ihe cuflnKiution wuh restrained within it comparatively small Himcu ; the damage done is considerable . The . hoiine of Mr AiulrewH the baker the workbhopo of Mr . Luckett und Mr . Webster , as well

      as an Independent chapel close by , are burnt to the ground . The chief sufferers are not insured . A fearful accident happened on Monday , at the coalmines of John Ridgway and Co ., of Ubberley , near Hanley . Seven men and boys , who first descended the shaft , have lost their lives . They went down about halfpast six o ' clock , and had not proceeded more than sixty yards along the level when the explosion ot sulphur took place . It is supposed that one of them must have been some distance before the others , as they are

      not so much burnt as blown nearly to pieces ; one man ' s arm is blown off , and the others are very much disfigured . Near five hours elapsed before the could be got out of the shaft , there being so much sulphur . The men could not proceed along the level until after having sent down the shaft a great quantity of water . They obtained the last bodies at half-past eleven o clock . The men must have neglected their instructions of not lighting candles when first going down the shaft ; they had lamps with them , and had they confined the light in them the accident would not have occured . Verdicts of accidental death have been returned in the case of the men killed at Ubberley . The inquest on the Washington explosion is still pending . There was a serious fire at Glasgow on Wednesday .

      An oil and spirit warehouse was consumed . Vitriol jars went off like rifles , and oil puncheons like heavy artillery , shaking the ground and spouting up jets of manycoloured flame . The fire , after doing immense damage , was extinguished by the spirited exertions of the fire brigades .

      We understand that a meeting , with the main drift of which we coincide , was held at 40 , Leicestersquare , on the 14 th , for the purpose of obtaining the entire abrogation of the Law of Settlement . Mr . Soden , of Marylebone , took the chair . The question , it was felt , was very wide and complicated , our Poor Laws requiring a thorough revision , both for the sake of the poor and the rate-payers . Mr . Galloway and Mr . Day addressed the meeting , which was ultimately adjourned . Mr . Galloway suggested the formation of a National Anti-Poor Law League . We shall recur to the subject .

      Satum>A.Y, August 16. Continental News A...

      Satum > a . y , August 16 . Continental news arrived this morning is interesting . The Horn an correspondent of the Times , a Tory of a very sable hue , disposed to see nothing but white vestal purity in the deeds of the throned anarchs of the Continent , has the following passage : — " The prohibition in the shape of exorbitant postage continues in full force against the English journals , and all that corae in remain in the Post office , no one being willing to pay from three shillings to a dollar postage for a paper that costs fivepence . The French journals , such as are admitted , are charged but six sous , so that the immense disproportion can only arise from a determination to exclude the London press . No Liberal paper of any country is allowed , and the People in general must content themselves with the sanctified information given in the two Roman journals ; but means are found to elude the rigour of the Postoffice , and 1 have seen extracts from the Times , and from the Risorgimento , of Turin , giving a part of Mr . Gladstone ' s correspondence with Lord Aberdeen on the subject of M . Poerio ' s trial and imprisonment among galleyslaves at Naples . This correspondence , where it has beea seen here , produces a profound sensation ; and , as Mr . Gladstone is an authority that cannot be doubted , every one is shocked at the cruelty of the Neapolitan police . Had not Mr . Gladstone with his own eyes seen M . Poeno and his fellow-sufferers , I might have hoped that he had been imposed on by the well-known enemies of the royal authority ; but there is no longer any doubt on the subject , and the cruelty of the crime will draw down execrations on the guilty from every honest man . " The Univers , ultramontane organ of Paris , calls King Bomba the " best" and " worthiest" of Kings ; ana asserts that " not a single fact in Mr . Gladstone s two letters will bear examination . " This is rather cool . An article published in the Constitutionnel , the other day , from the pen of Dr . Veron himself , on the candidature of M . de Joinville , has provoked a deal of discussion . It is clear that he will not have the support of the Republicans ; and that the Legitimists prefer the nephew of Napoleon to the grandson of Ei ? aliie B " " ^!' " being out of the question , there remain only the uruau ists , headed by the Barrots and Thiera .
