      Mr Kidkb mtiTW and MtAiqtniH genondeda raolntioa ' That the direc ' ora be empowered in aoeordacce * with the Joint Stock Companies Act , to sake 8 etll of one shilling per month , nppn each shareholder ho'ding from two to fonr shares—the nmetn be paid by weekly instalments of threepence per week , shaieholden not complying with the said esD , within the time that the call would equal tbeir shares , the Bame share shall fee forfeited . ' A desultory conTmation arose with respect to the registering ef this Company under the Joint Stock Corapanies Act Hr Edwabdj coHtending that ttere was- no impediment in the way of enrolment Mr O'Coshob replied explaining tbe attempts which had been repeatedly nude to get the Company ensailed , bat which had been defeated by the eenitruc fion pa * noon certain words in the Act regulating Frietdly Societies by Mr JusticeWiehtman .

      Mr 0 Brim awved , in order to economise time , Biat they , should take the 7 ih proposition on the programme into eondderation . fhiaproposition was "That the rales of the Company shall be prepared in accordance withthe prorisjons of the 'Joint Stock Gsmp&ntes Act / and tnsil be immediately registered vder toe sane , * Mr Edwaebs supported the resolution . Hr O'CessoB trusted that the Delegates would sot &cass this qoestioa in the limited bounds prescribed fcy the proposition . The only thing they had to p » rd against was any infringement of the law , and fltsrefoTe , whether they deddtd to register the Company or not under this act , they should be very carefid m drawing op any resolution they might arrive at . He was anxious that it should be legalised in same shape , ia order that some trustees might be aamed . that funds might b 3 raised , and that the fcaiden should baiem&ved from bis shoulders .

      Mr O'Bbxki suggested that the Directors should fe empowered ia such manner as they thought best to legalise tbe Company . v Mr Whbkixb thought that they had already spent ssfipent time in trying to get the Company entolled , let them all say that they would place themsafes under the protection of the Joint Stock Companies Act . He detested the Act itself , as giving too Roeh power to the Directors , but it wa 3 the only act that they could avail themselves of . Mr O'Coksok said , that if there was one thing more than atrther in the Act that he admired , it waa because it gave the Directors power to enforce payment * , and also because ^ it enabled the shareholders to dismiss these Directors in a summary manner iftheydid not do justice to their subseribeis . Mr Fcsszu , moved' That this Conference do anttorisetbsl ) irec * o »" of the National Lacd Compuy to obtain legal protection as speedily as possible , and nths most ecoooaiieat manner . ' Hr Shaw seconded the motion .

      Mr O'Coixos again recapitulated the efforts made by the Directors to enrol the Company . Failing in ttxs he had « ppeafed to parliament . Parliamentdid act render that jos&a to the Land Company which ttey appeared wiffing to stretch for the benefit of landed proprietors is Ireland and elsewhere . On the very day on which the Select Committee had reported to the House , Lord Clarendon and other aoble lords got a bill passed which would eneble them to purchase lands for the purpose of retaining those teds again at enormous prices to the humbler classes . -

      Hr Clabs faid , that bein ? a member in the directory for some yean , he might without any breach cf aodesty say , that he and the Directors generally had paid more attention to the question of legisla . fion thin the greater part of the members of the Company , and therefore , as a consequence , ought to iaqw more about the matter . The speaker then adverted to the provision * ef the Building'Societies Met . and the Art regulating Friendly Societies ' , ahewing that if they wished to reproduce the p ' roperty of the Land Company , they could not possibly exert themsdveB under those acts . There was

      therefore , nothing in their favour , if they so ef > wiled themselves . He granted that they mightavail themselves ef thete if they were willing to unite r * aa thirty years , until the allottees on the estates Bad paid back the whole amounts expended upon them and their estates ; if they were willing to do ao , th 8 n , iudeed , they could apply to be legalised under these aets . But this would frustrate the objects of the Company and destroy all the benefit that were enatemplated-by theDiKetors , and flat would aeeree to the subscribers under the provisions of the Jfflnt S » oek ^ Companies Ac * . Mr Clark then enietadsd by moving the proposition ; .

      Mr AsHFOBta seeanded the proposition . He bss-Mved that the few hundreds spent in registerinr tee Company , would be repaid by the additional Bwasandsthat wouldlcome in , from restored confidence , throoghoat tha country . ctr £ i £ n ) Dre ( iaaited to know whether the Joint Stock Companies Act , plaoed the directors under the eon'jol of the shareholders . M ? Clabk said , that shareholders holding stock to acertam amount eoold call an extraordinary special mating , and-depose anyorallof the directors . Mr tfCoNsos said , they could enact by laws ef as stringent a character as theypleased , provided those by laws , did not eontrovene ths provisions of tha act . - r •

      ^^ . Eowasds rose to oppose tha propasitibn : He oi * this from ao factions motive , but because he was « BcientioaBly convinced that the Company would teiBjured , if plaoed under the provisions of the Jteint Stock Companies Act . Mr Clark had said that this was tha only act that met their case , but would it not b * better to wait somewhat longer for «^ tal «? woteent . He would rattier place that eonfidenca in Mr O'Connor atJU , wHbIi the people of this country had hitherto ione , and trust to his exerUoaB in their favour , during the oomisg Parliasent . He contended that Mr Clark was in error , m Buying that there was no power ofrepreduction Mderthe Buittoig Societies Act , and he would moebrathertrnsstoit , than to an act so detestable as the Jflint Stock Compaaies . He moved as' an amendment , — That the Compaay bo enrolled icder the Building Societies Act . ' Hr Sandkh « seconded the amendment .

      Mr Dixon argued , that under the Buildings Societies Act . the time necessary for the repayment of the purchase money , was so extended that it would b ? quite impossible far the Directors to cany oo tbe r peration * of the Company . Mr M . Jddb said , it would be a visionary expectation to expect the content of all the ihareholdeii to aay one plan . Ha suggested that Borne words should be added to the proposition , rendering it imperative i » the . Directors to apply for the legalisation of the » m > any in thff « no ^ iert « pa / jaof tiBSi in

      » r > Avjmssa coiac ^ ed the opinion expreand by Mr Edwards , that the Building Societies Act would B » &r < pieferable to the Joint Stock Companies Act . Hb denied the positian assumed by Mr Clark that the Company would an reproduce its capital within a period that would render the working of the Company ¦ Kft « fuL Hsasmied that any member could redeem his eaptahn sixteen jean ; even if nedid not pay « farthing for principBl oi interest for three jean . It was difSoult for allottees at present to pay tenn j > er eent ^ a the amount of purchase or aid assney , ankss they got their hnd at the wholeiale

" He was d « arly of opinion that this question afculd be « tfled at once without aay fresh appeal-fo parliament . Ilia principles ^ oa which the soeiety n * baaed were sacred , and whdiher this company socaseded or no , the faeta re * aaiaedtheiame . The fact that a man eouHttva

      noon two , or three , rr four acres , was established . The fact that land was good security , wasacknow . lodged by all , and China for many thousand yean , Belgium , Holland , the Netherlands , many provinces intFranoe , Switzerland , and this country , proved that land and labour formed elements of wealth , uaduputed and undispatable , in all social and political economy . Mr O'Conkcb proved that reproduction could ba more speedily and more effectually realised by the Coapany , if legalised under the Joint Stock than under the Building Societies Act He then adverted to the agriculture of Switzerland , Belgium , and Holland . In Belgium leases . were usually granted for nine years , and he ( Mr O'Connor ) had there « een land valued at £ 800 per acre , which the industrious

      Belgian had bees able to redeem at the expiration of hisletse . Could the Belgian do that which the English would fail in doing ? Mr Morrison said , ths question was , should they be legalised or not ? If legalised , it was evident from tiie provisions of the several acts quoted , that the Joint Stock Companies Act would afford them greater protection than any other . A settlement must be made noir , for the very existence of the Company depended upon it . If they let this Conference dissolve without determining the question before them , the fate of the Land Company was sealed , and a scheme which had within itself all the elements of success , would be sacrificed by their ewn indecision and want of energy .

      Mr Wxlls wished to know whether Conferences were , under the provisions of the Joist Stock Companies Apt , illegal , and whether justices had power ever individual property not invested in the Company ? Mr O'CosKoBjsaid , certainly not . The individual weuld only be liable to the amonat of his original shares . Mr Whux was in favour of the proposition , and would support it strenuously . After some remarks from various delegates , Mr M'Grath said , that although much had been said upon this point , yet on so important a matter scatcely too rauoh could be said . The great priuoiple involved in the question waa that of reprodsctioni New , if they would consider that there were 70 , 000 members in tha National Land Company , and that to locate then member * would involve an expenditure of £ 7 , 000 , 000 of money—the argument of Mr Saunden fell to the ground . If they tried to legalise the Company under the Building Societies Act . then it would be necessary , if the members

      sought , as in a Building Society , to repay their purci ate money in thirteen years , for them to take , two shares of £ 150 each , and for each of the members to pay at the rate of 9 j . 34 . per week , and he would leave it to the Conference to say if the members of the National Land . Company could afford to do that . Mr Gbkbk asked , whether the trustees hadpower to ' wind up' the Company when they wished , or determined to do eo ? Mr O'Cossob said—No . The trustees were , like thedirectorP i under the control of the shareholder ! . Mr Ktdd said , that he had an epitome of the rules of the Joint-Stock Companies Act , and the rules which had reference to the duties of trustees gave no such power . Several amendments were then put and lost , aad Mr O'Connor's motion for the adoption of the original proposition was . carried . ¦ The adjourned discussion with respect to the Re . payment of Calls was then resumed .

      Mr O'Cosiob said , that the directors had already an opportunity o * showing that they were going to exercise the powers conferred upon them by the Conference , in a lenient and liberal manner . The vote of tha Conference oatl conferred upon the directors the power of making calls , and here they fell back upon the Conference , and . asked them to legislate the amount of calls , and the periods of payment . He had not yet proposed any resolution , excepting the principles in the programme itself , which he was obliged to do as a director of the Company . He had considered this question of arrears , and he was obnvinoed that each man could well afford 2 d per share ; per week , and he piopowd a resolution accordingly u > commence from the 11 th November , 1848 . Thh would include all calls for expense funds .-The resolution bavisg been seconded "by " Mr TORKIHBTOM . . : .

      Mr Whbkub hoped , that the Conference would remember that many individuals had taken oat shares for the members of their families , and therefore , the sum sought to be obtained by Mr O'Connor , was too high under the circumstances . Mb M . Jddb proposed' That the directors Bhould make a call upon all unpaid up shareholders of not less than Id , per share per week , commencing Nov . 27 th . 1848 , and when any such shareholders shall uegkot to pay at the above rate for three months , they shall be cuargel at tbe rate of five per cent , upon the amount then unpaid , and when the amount shall be equivalent to the sum originallypaid by such shareholder , he shall cease to have any interest in the Company . ' Me NiBBarr eeconded the resolution . Mr Flood , Ms Fcbbbil , and Mb Mobbuok windier ? their amendments .

      Ms Jddb thought that the smaller the amount required from members , the greaterjthe chance of large funds accruing to the Company . ¦ Mb Whklxh ' s motion was put and supported by ten delegates . Us Rm * a ' s was supported by the proposer only . Mb Josx ' 8 by ten members . Ma Hoimwat / s by six members . Mr O'Connob ' b by twelve members .

      DREADFUL EXPLOSION .-THIRTY PERSONS KILLED . Whitbhaveh , Tuesday . —In our thud page will be found a short account of a teiribleand fatal coal mine explosion , near Whitehaven ; since that account was put into type , we have received the following additional particulars : — The accident took place between six and seven o'clock in the morning . ' The number employed in the pit was thirty-one , only one of whom escapedthe furnace-man , stationed in the shaftjhaving also succeeded in saving his own life . ' Eighteen bodies were brought up , some in a dreadfully mutilated state , and on these Mr Bragg has held an inquest at

      Cleator Moor , the parish in which the pits is situated . They were as follows i—John , Barwise , aged 28 , wife and two children ; Alexander Davidson , 23 , wife and child •' Daniel . Lochery , 32 , ditto ; Charles Lechery , 21 , unmarried ; JamesDowie , 18 , ditto ; John H 'Longhian , ditto ; James Thompson , 26 , wife and . four children ; Robert Clark , 13 ; Henry Mash , 12 ; Richard Lawson ,- 46 , wife and seven children * ; John and Richard LawBQn ^ a sobb , aged 16 and 12 ; Thomas Aiken , 39 , ' wife and five , children ; his son , John , 17 , ; John Hall , 30 , wife and three children ; W . Lish , 23 , wife and tw » children ; Patrick Kelley , 31 , wife only ; John Cummins , 24 wife and two children . .

      A young lad named Ward , aged thirteen , was the only sufferer brought from the pit alive ; but he expired in a few hours afterwards from the severe burns he had sustained about the face and mouth . Upon this body Mr Lamb held an inquest in the adjoining parish of Hensingham , as also upon the bodies of four others , namely , John Atkinson , aged 32 , wife and two children ; James Millby , aged 26 , wife and two children ; his brother John , aged 18 unmarried ; and James Harrison , 29 , also single-These inquests were held on Monday night , but as the proceedings left the question of ventilation only partially disposed of , the subject was conclusively investigated on the following evening ( Tuesday ) , when Mr Lamb changed the scene of his iabours to Whitehaven , and sat upon two other sufferers , named "WilliamDryden aged 23 , single man ; and

      George Watson , aged 19 . The evidence , which was most volum ' onms . esteblished . the ^ leading facts : — The explosion took placfr froai . some -workmen taking off" the topsp'Hif their " -Davy lamps to light their pipes , which fired the inflammable air of the pit ; and out of thirty parsons engaged in the works one man only , named Bradley , engaged in the furthest working from the shaft , succeeded in escaping with life . After the accident safety lamps were found with their tops off , which practical men depose could not have been occasioned by the force of the explosion , but must have been removed in the way and far the purpose described . Edward Bradley , the person wno made so muaculoui an escape , was examined at each inquest . The verdicts were taken differently ; but in all they amounted to the ordinary form of ' Accidental death . '

He had for along time past been given to acts of excessive intemperance , whioh had brought on delirium tnmens . He waa lately observed to be in a most ezoited ¦ tate , in consequence of whioh a gentleman residue in the house had anxiously watohed his movements Being left alone , however , for a few minutes ,, he locked the door of hit room . Id was immediately forced open , and thedeceaied was found lying on the floor with , a severe wound in his side . A regimental word was lying by him , the point of which waa covered with blood . To have effected his objeot he must have p laoed the handle of the sword on the ground " , and forced himself forward upon its point . A sargeon was sent for , but the unfortunate gentleman expired before his arrival .

      Mysibrioui Firs in a City Warehouse . —On Saturday . Mr W . Payne , the City Coroner , opened an inquiry , at Gerard ' s Hall , Basing Lane , into the caute of a fiie , on the previous Wednesday night , in a warehouse , oooupied by Mr Simon Anstey , shawlwarehouseman , No . 60 , Bread Street , Cheapside . Se- " veral witnesses were examined . The house , it appeared , was oooapied aiwarerooms , neir lf every floor being let to a different tenant . The ground Boor was oconpied by Mr Anstey , and the basement floor , beneath , by Mr Dear . On Wednesday evening , smoke being seen issuing from Mr Anstey ' s room , the engines were sent for , and an entrance effected , when the flooring waa discovered on fire , but was speedily quenched by the engines . An examination was then made , and it was found that the fire must have com .

      menced between the flawing of Mr Anstey ' s room and the ceiling of the room below ; the joi ats were much burnt , and but little was bunt outside , showing that the fire must have commenced within . Mi Braidwood , of the London Fire Establishment , said the only way . ia whioh he believed fire oould have been placed batween the floor and the ceiling was bj theopening of the flap of a- cistern in Mr Anstey ' s room . None of the persons in the house could at all account for the fire , and , after considerable discussion , the inquiry wm adjourned until Monday , the 6 th of November , in the hope that by that time something mieht transpire to explain the eause . : '' - -. •' .. Dxbiruotiok by Firs of ihk C&hbbrweu , Gbiin Bkbwbbt , < fco—On Saturday moraing a fire took place at € amberwell Green , whioh lasted for the

      space of six hours , and earned a considerable amount of damage . The flames were first discovered at about half-past one in the morning , in a house on the northern aide of the Green ; , near the well-known tavern calLd the Father Red . Cap ,, occupied aa office * by Messrs Fleming , the proprietors of the . Camber . well Green Ale and Porter Brewery . Mr Draoe , the oocnpier rf tho , house . adjoining , was the " fint t . discover the fire , by reason of the smoke passing through to his own house , and having aroused his family , raised an alarm . Mr Dance ' s house , as well as the spacious brewery belonging ta Messrs Fleming and Co ., were soon in flames , besides the house in which the fire was first discovered ; Owing to the troae wind , and the biggly-ignitible matters contained in the bravery , the flunes toon reached an

      alarming height . The supply ef water was bo limited that the first exertions of the firemen were direoted towards saving tbe adjoining hsnses . This attempt , however , was not altogether successful , and it was found impossible to . prevent the flames catching thw large club-room attached to the Red Cap Tavern ; and they shortly afterwards extended to the premises occupied by Mr Kiff , ham and ' beef shop , and Mr Green , butcher . The . whole of the buildings connected with the . brewery were , by this ' time , ' wrapped inflames . Every ' exertion was made to Bt « p the fire , bnt it wai not effectually subdued until eight tfclpck . The property destroyed by this disastrous event will amount to a . considerable sum , the whole of Messrs Fleming ' s premises being totally oonaumed . Respecting the prjigin of the fire nothing satisfactory

      has jet been ascertained , ' but it is the opinion of the proprietors of the brewery that it was the work of an inpendiary . From certain oircumstanoea which have come to light a person has been given into custody ' on suspicion of having committed the atrocious act . The following is a copy of the official report of the damage done ;— 'A house belonging to Messrs Fie * hung , the brewers ; the upper part empty , and the lower part nsed as offices . —Burned down ; insurance unknown .

      EXAIOHATION OF IHB SuBPBCTEQ IhCEHDIARY . — On Saturday , at the Lambeth polioe courr , Samuel Smith Mickleburgh was obarged before Mr Norton on suspicion of having wilfully set fire to the above premises , and with embezsltng upwards of £ 100 , the moBies of Mr Fleming , his employer . From the statement of Mr Thomas Brandon Flemiag , a solicitor , and brother to the prosecutor , it appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of Mr W . H . Fleming , as confidential clerk , at his brewery on Camberwell Green , for eight or nine years , and had been discharged about a month . Since his discharge some irregularities had been discovered in ths accounts , which led to their invettigation , and the re * suit was that upwards of £ 100 , received by the prisoner , had not been properly accounted for . In

      consequence of this discovery Messrs Fleming sent for the prisoner on Friday morning , and placing before him a list of the Bums found to have been regularly entered in the book « , asked him to explain the matter . The prisoner admitted that ssme of the entries were irregular , bnt still deolared that the wbolt of the monies reoeived by him had been regu * laily faid in . Messrs Fleming told the prisoner they would allow him to remain at large , and bring a solicitor or friend with him on the following ( that ) morning , to go through a regular examination of the ic * counta . The books were then plaoed in an iron safe in the ceunting-house , and locked up in the prisoners presence . On the same night , or rather about one o ' clock , the fire originated in the countinghouie , where the books were plaoed , leading to the destruction of the whole of Mr Fleming ' s premises , and the consumption of property amounting to over

      £ 3 , 000 , and also to the burning of two valuable horsea . The suspicion ; entertained towards the prisoner arose from the fact of his having been found on the premises shortly after the breaking ent of the fire , the fire itself having oocurred at the very place where the books were deposited , and the benefit he might derive from the destruction of the books con * taining the fa . se entries , and by whioh alone his guilt oould be established . The books , however , have escaped destruction , with the exception of their covers , but the leaves are sufficiently perfect to be examined . Evidence having been givea to prove that everything was safe when locked up on tbe previous night by Mr Dance , the prisoner ' s successor , Mr Fleming applied for a remand , with a view to an inquiry into the origin of the fire being gone into by Mr Carter , the coroner . The prisoner was remanded , but was bailed , himself in £ 200 . and two sureties of

      £ 100 . A Motheb Chasqbd with Siabtikg hbb Child . — Oa Monday , MrW . Carter held an inquest in the Boardroom of Lambeth Workhouse , touching the death of a female child , aged five weeks , who , it was alleged had died from starvation aad exposure te the weather . The mother , formerly a . servant , gave birth to the deceased on the lTth of September , in the siok or lying-in ward . The child progressed very well for upwards of three weeks , when the nurse and other persons complaiaed to Mr Duke , the housesurgeon , of the conduot of the mother in refutine ta give the deceased the breast . He . alter cautioning haronthe responsibility attending any fatal result , prescribed that the deceased should be supplied with new milk and loaf sugar . The next day the mother made application to the board ,, wishing to leave , and although remonstrated with , she left tbe house with her onspring , the guardians giving her 2 s . Sh «

      prooeecM to her mother ' s , house , in High-street Lambeth , but her parents would not give her shelter . She wandered about for nearly a week when she returned to the workhonse at nine o ' clock at night . The child was apparently dyine from « U and hunger when Mr KinJ , the ^ diately sent for Mr Duke , and in the meantimethe dacsasedwM given to the nurse , who had the child placed in a warn bath . The infant rallied , but . not withstandingevery attentioa that could be rendered she died on Wednesday week last . —Mr T . O . Duke the medical officer , said that when he waa oalled the child was sinking fast ftom exhaustion , conseq uent upon cold , hunger , and destitution . When the child was taken out by the mother it was in a good oondi turn and free from injury . It was now exceedingly emaciated and thin . His opinion was , that the child had been starved to death . Mr Duke added that whilst the child wab in the ward the several inmates were all ' up in arms ' relative totheinfant and *«**

      often some of them suckled the child when the mother neglected it—The Coroner said , from the testimony adduced , he was of opinion that the evidence was not sufficient to criminate the mother Hannah Tinkler , for causing the death of her child although her oonduot was highly improper in leavine an asylum to wander the streets without chance of assistance or Bhelter . —The jury , after some consultation , returned a verdiot ef Died from bodily exhaustion , produced by want and exposure , '
