BIRMINGI HAM . __ ( j ? rtWB oar own Reporter . ) " FRIDAY . ~ T ~ Th » Conferenca re-assembled this morning at ¦¦ * " % . rhl minutes of the pwcBdrng day having been ixeac ^ d orer . wewcrafinned . ¦ .... Ii Mr Etdd moved that the Mowing proposition ba ieoriconfirmed wilhiut dismission : —" That all agricnli par , ifrrrai operations performed by tbe Company upon Its ; Uv ] and shall be paid for , before possession shall fca 1 give given to any of iU members , and ehall ba charged j | n t | n the rhape of additional-rent . ' 1 Mr Hoxowat seconded tha proposition . $ Mr SAUNDBBsnored an amendment'That the » grigriculttiril operations ba performed at the Com * pan pany ' sexpease , ani bs reckoned in the outlay . ' 1 Mr Mr / sDATaeconded the amendment .
] Mr M'Gbath said that the mera question was , wk whether the allottee should pay the seed and the pi : puparation of the ground , before he took possession pfpf his allotment . 1 Mr O'Beiks said that this was the evil which era cramped all their operations ; and coming as he did fro from one of the estates , lie had provided a remedy . Hi He proposed that three acres oat of every four ; two ac seres and one rood ont of every three ; and one acre an and two roods out ef every two , should bj prepared be before the allottees should take possession . The fa , ftot could not ba denied that agricultural oparations tjr was an indefinite term ; which meant ia practice n msre land scratching .
Mr O'Cosxoa denied thai snob , was the ease . Ho fa iai prepared the ground in a manner which had Bl elicited the admiration of all the neighbouring far * n tiiii , and it was folly to pay attention to the earnf plaints of one , without regarding the satisfaction of I iU Cue others . Thefast was evident in the results x on Wheeler's allotment ; he had got three quarters I Cf wheat out of each half acre—that ont of his alio * - : ment was £ 12 ; the straw was £ 3 more , and there -was a matter of £ 15 out of the least valuable crap ] produced . ; ~ Mr Wbbbler thought they were wandering from I theqnestion . The amount of aid given in the shape i of agricultural operations , should be positive and i defined .
. Mr EmsHiw wished to know whether the . cars Of the aUottees wai to b ^ cesaidered or not . Mr Ktdd interposed . \ IIe would inaiston thesubjeot under disensiion beieg adhered to . Mr Fmssu . supported the proposition . Mr Tdekks also supported the proposition , although he did not think it wonld meet future opera-Sons . . Mr Dosoviir suggested that they saould make tha 3 um spent in the outlet a rent-charge . Mr O'Coskos said that yesterday he had explained that any agricultural operations wonld ba exacted ia the shape of a rent-charge . This was not a pre position to take away what was the ' aid money , ' it was simply to pk : e that fond in the hands of the directors , bseause tbey knew better how to expand it than individuals who , perhaps , had not the slightest
notion of agricultural operations . It was charged ¦ gainst him that parties had been lecated at the improper season , was that a fault of his ? Parties came , in many oases with their families , and said to nun , 'For Goi ' a sake let me and mine go down , I faiow better than the directors how to cultivate the land , ' and the direshw having their very hearts broken in this manner , had in nine cases sent these men to the land before it was fully prepared for them . Ho hoped that the Conference , before separating , v ? 3 uld come t 3 a resolution that the directors were sot accountable for the potato blight or any other rational calamity . ( Laughter . ) Mr Nkbstt , in order tosavetime , proposed' That lie Conference go ont of Committee , and that the Branding orders ba resumed . ' This was seconded by Mr Mt / sdat .
TMb was carried , and the standing orders were re-Bumed . Mr Green proposed aa amendment , 'That all agricultural operations performed by the Company upon the land be added to the rent-charge , and that bo occupant be allowed to take pesrsssion until such land be cropped . ' Mr Waits seconded the amendment . Mr Ktdd withdrew hia motion , rs did Mr O'Bsies :. The propositions wree then put torn the chair , and Mr Gbeen ' s cirrrd by a great majority . The next question consider 1 was , what day in the year tha members should te Ic 3 at : 1 . Mr Whesies thought that the fit at of April would be a very proper season for the allottees Ising placed on the hnd , because the crops once b : ing put in . the allottees would V . 3 the very best psrsons to attend to the future management of the crops .
Mr O'Consob slid , that this would leave the tllothas some five months bsfbre the caps cims rips . He thonght that the 15 th or 20 th of May would 1 . 3 a bet * " * t ? r . 3 n , becaura this would give the Company greater time to prepare the estate more satisfactorily , and eti ! I leave the allottee plenty of timet ) leak after his own cups . Mr Scon proposed that the allotteea should go on on the 20 th of May . Mr Fosssu . moved that allottees shorld not t 2 allowed t j take possession of their allotments until the crops ara ready for their use and support , and tsedir : 3 tou shall inform the allotten one month fisfora taking pnmssion . Mr Mobrgos supported the amendment . Mr Mulwood was of opinion that they ought not to leave * the mathr In the hands of the directors .
Mr O'Connor folly agreed with Mr Millwcid that dif ector _ V . lite borees , should b 3 ridden with spurs . He wasin favour of naming the 20 th of May as the day of allocation , Mr Whebleb moved that fee 20 th of April should bathe day . Ii the directors wished to incur greater ( . iium than attached to them at present , they could not have lit batter or more effectually than by setting the crops for the allotted . They would then fri blamed for the effects of weather , the failure of crops , and all tha other oMualties attsndant upon agriculture . : Aft jt some discussion ,
Mr DcncasShebbltoton thonght that a proportion to the following effc it wonld tax ¦& the exigencies of the case ' That arrangements tj made by the directors to rxerhta who is to be ances . jl , three months previous to the time of 1 ( nation , and to give notice accordingly to the allettaethat he will Ii required at his land between the 1 st of April and the 1 st of Jane ; the directors to have the power ti same the day frftvesn then periods , according to the state of the crops , when he shall come ; and none to be allowed ' - } take proamnion until the day so named by the dircators . The proposition wa-3 seconded by Mr EnwAHBoi ^ Mr Bahkett proposed that old May-day be the time for the occupant taking possession , as a day that will b-i generally remenricred . This wn seconded by Mr Snrroir . Mr Wheklee withdrew his motion .
Mr Scon moved , and Mr Isbehwood seconded , a proposition 'That the allolteeaaaoDld take possession on the 20 ih May in each year . ' The motions and amendments were then pnt from the chair , and Mrfiarnett ' s proposition waajcar tied by a majority , In obedience to a pledge given to the Select Committee , the question was put to the Conference whether the Company shoald be wound up . The question was decided in the negative amidst enthusiastic cheerinfs . Mr Holloway said that a matter bad t ^ en overlooked , which b . e wonld niw bring forward , 'That any member a'lo wing his weekly contributions to go more than three months in arrears shoald forfeit all claims upon the Company . ' - Mr TuRHsn seconded , and Mr Dosovas supported , the resolution . The resirationwas curled .
Mr M'Grath threw ont a suggestion . There ware from eighteen to twenty thousand parsons who . by the rules of . the Company , had already forfeited all claims on the Company . Some te -t should be applied to indnce these men to recommence payments , or at once ti remove them from the Company . MrO'CosBOB prcpos 3 d , 'That in each branch two Scrutineers shell ba appointed , whose duty shall be to superintend the receipt ot monies by the Secretaries and Treesurers , and see to the immediate transmission of tbe same to the office of the Company . ' Mr Scon seconded the proposition . After some remarks from Mr Edwards and Mr Mdotat , the proposition was abandoned .
The next question was the Election of Directors . Mr O'Brien proposed , and Mr Gbier eaconded , a proposition'TnattheDireotoryohouldconaistof seven Direrfsra—one of whom shall ba a practical agriculturist , and another a practical builder . ' Mr Eros moved , as an amendment , ' That the Board of Directors consist of three , one a practical builder , onea practical agriculturist , and another a nan of general information . ' Mr Bahneti moved , 'Toat ths nHmbar of directors be five . ' Mr Wills seconded the resolution . The resolutions were then put from the chair , and Mr Basset's motion was adopted . - Mr Fuazu . moved , ' That the present directors having discharged their duty faithfully to the Company ba re-elected by the Conterence .

Mr SoorawoBrs moved , as as amendment , ' That tbe Conference Dominate the Diretfory , and tbat they ba elected by the suffrages of the whole Company . * ' Mr Kydd seconded the amendment . Mr SHttamBtOH supported Mr Fossell ' s resolution .

' Oe General Conferejjcg Of The J Member...
direoton beelected every year by the whole voice of the Company , Mr Vosonn said that a proposition was before them , that the Conference ahoold nominate , and the members throughout the country elect ; the direc * tor J . He thought that both nomination and election should originate with the members . Mr Fnaael'a resolution might ba torn as waite paper . They mightgothrough the farce of reelecting directors whom they could notdepose , but , for bis own part , be sawno necessity for it . Mr WmuuxB and Mr SivsDJtaa thought it would only be a matter of oonrtesyto re-elect the directors . Mr MoEEHOsr wished to know , before these resolutions were put , whether Mr O'Connor would consent to act as one of the trustees ?
Ms 0 'Cosaos : said that , being at present in the position of proprietor of the property of the Land Company , heahonldaotlike , as Feargus O ' Connor , the proprietor , to handover the property to Feargns O'Connor , the trustee . ( Laughter . ) He would rather go in his thick boots over the eitates—( laughter)—than baplacsd in the position of trustee . Mr SKsmcraeaid that , in leaking over the ba * lanceeheet , he thonght that the clerks' salaries might be done away with . Mr O'Coxxqb said that , when the business of the
Company slackened , the directors had discharged four clerks , but he ( Mr O'Cennor ) bad thought it unjust to part with good men when they had every prospect of increasing in usefulne : 3 , and he bad , therefore , erred on the side of virtue by retaining thees men in the office . ( Cheeu . ) Mr Wseelbb moved , es a matter of form , 'That the balanse she ^ t ti received and adopted . ' Mr Kidd rconded the motion , which was , after some conversation , agreed to . The directors were also re-elected .

Mr Ktdd said , that he was one of the lecturers , and , S 3 complaints had been made of some of them , he wished , as a matter of justice to himself , to know if he we ? one of them f
Mr 0 'C :: bnob said , that a mora active and intelligent individual—whether considered in reference to the Chartist or the Land movement—than Mr Kydd did net exist ; , bis character was unimpeachable . Hi man had ever conducted himself more creditably , or had discharged bis duties more faithfully , and he ( Mr O'Connor ) had , while in Scotland , been exceedingly glad to near that tho high opinion be entertained of Mr Eydd was fully justified by the opinions of ail who had ever known him .

The Scotch Chartist Trials. / Mmm Tbialo...
THE SCOTCH CHARTIST TRIALS . / MMM Tbialop Cuhhikg . —Edinburgh , Tuesday . —Jarooa Comming , shoemaker , was charged under the late Crown and Government Security Act , commonly called tho Gagging Bill , with sedition' in so far as in the months of April , May , June , and July , 1848 , or one or other of them , the said James Gumming did wickedly and feloniously compass , imagine , invent ,, devise , or intend to lery war against the . Queen , in order by force and constraint to change . her counsels , er in order to intimidate or overawe both House * , - ot either House , of Parliament / He-was also charged under the common law of Scotland with .. ¦! wickedi *
and feloniously combining and conepirin ^ -W ) t | iy number of persons calling themselves ,. Chartistei , -. to effect an alteration of the laws and constitntionof the realm by force and violence , or by armed reaiatanceto lawful authority . ' ; : '; £ Mr Logan , advocate , counsel for . the prieoner , addressed the court at some length , objecting to the relevancy of the indictment , -Hia . first objection was , that the indictment did not lit M in a sufficient and competent way any overt acts to show the felony the statute create ? . There was a necessity , he said , for libelling the overt acts in connexion with the felonious intent , arid for tha purpo : 3 of showing the existence of that intent , and this had not baen observed in the p-esent indictment . If such evert acts may be found
in other parts of tbe indictment , they have not been brought forward for the purpcjo of Showing the existenca of the felonious design on tho part of ' the accused .- Mr Logan went on toobjeattb the charge at common law ef conspiracy , which ba maintained was vagnelyand insufficiently ( eet forth , and then pre needed to object to the charge of sedition , on the ground that the overt acts sat forth in the indictment amounted to treason , and the panel ceuld not therefore 13 tried for sedition . He submitted that usder a charge for high treason the jury oould not return a verdict for sedition , and so . if the overt aots here cot forth amounted ta treason , the jury oould not give a verdict for sedition .
The Court overruled the first of Mr Logan ' s objections , and the Lord Justioa Clerk stated two questions which he wished the couniel for the prosecution to answer in his addren ; Tbe first wai , did the charge of conspiracy , being in ibelf in substance a charge of treason , not merge into treason , and if a , could it only bs tried by the ttearon law of England ? The second question was , whether they could try under tbe common law , a particular medeoi offence , which bad by the late act been made a statutory offence ? Mr Crawford . addressed the court in reply to Mr
Logan , and to the suggestion suggested by the Lord Justice Clerk , and was followed by the Lord Advocate , both of whom entered at some length into the history of legislation on the crimes of sedition and treason , and contended that the late act had changed the crime of treason into tbat of sedition , and left them at lit ; rty to charge as sedition , what had formerly baen treason ; but tbat it by no means prevented them from returning to tbe common law , and under that law to prosecute any one guilty of conspiring ti levy war against the Queen :
Tbe Court , having heard both parties , thought the objection sufficiently important to be reserved for the consideration of the whole of the judges , and delayed the case till Thursday at ten o ' clock for that purpose .
