BRITANNIA NATIONAL FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY . A Public Meeting to promote the objects of the above Society , was held on Tuesday , the 26 th inst ., at the Belvidere Tavern , Pentonville . The chair was to have been taken by W . Cunningham , Esq ., who was prevented from attending by indisposition . His place was occupied by Mr . Birchmore , who briefly announced the objects of the Society . Great and unprecedented had been the success of the movement , but still a large number were beyond the pale of their operations . The small sum of one shilling per week
was beyond the pockets of many men anxious to Share its advantages , they therefore reduced their subscriptions to 6 d . per week , with the additional advantage that a member by an extra weekly payment could secure a house on the land when obtained , thereby increasing the value of the allotment , but a member could takeany number of shares he pleased . Their course was simple , they proposed when the united subscriptions of the members amounted . to a sum sufficient to advance it on the security of an estate , to be divided amongst their members . Each division conferring the right of a county vote . Large profits invariably attended the sale of
small pieces of Land so acquired . Its political advantages were also great . Many object to buy the political right . The answer was simple : " It is agitation without expense . It dues not require a large annual subscription for the support of a political union . It is an investment , giving above the interest—political power . And the man who can thus afford to possess it shorten the battle on the part of those who can only acquire it by a conquest over those now monopolizing it . " Messrs . Mills , Youn ? , and Kempi moved and J . A . Nicholay , Esq . and Mr . D . W . Ruffy the Secretary ably supported the following resolution : —
That in the opinion of this meeting , the Freehold Land Societies are powerful adjuncts in workin ? out the Political , Social , and Moral elevation of the industrial classes of this country ; and that the Brittania National Freehold Land and House Society is worthy their marked attention and support . " Carried unanimously . Many enquiries were made , and riumer ous shares taken . A vote of thanks to Mr . Birchmore concluded the meeting .

Dublin , Thursay Evening . This assemblage , which has been so long talked of , took place to-day , the meeting being held in the concert-room of the Rotundo . At 11 o ' clock , the hour appointed for the meeting , there were but few in attendance ; and these were chiefly Roman Catholic clergymen ; and at no time in the course of the day . could the ineeting . be called a numerous one , the persons present being * in fact , exclusively those one might expect to find on the platform of a general meeting .
At a few minutes before 12 o ' clock , on the motion of Mr . 116-beat Potter , M . P ., seconded by the Rev . Mr . Quaid , the chair was taken by Mr . George H . Moore , M P . Dr . Gray and Mr . Lucas , M . P ., were requested to act as secretaries . The report of the committee was read and adopted . Resolutions disclaiming any intention of demanding any portion of the revenues of the Established Church for the Roman Catholic Church , and requiring that . the liberal Irish membeTs should continue independent of , and in opposition to , any government that will not concede perfect religious equality , were subsequently moved and adopted . ' Some other resolutions having been passed , and thanks voted to the chairman , the meeting separated .

PRUSSIA . Berlin , Oct . 26 . Yesterday the election , not of the members , bnt of the electoral colleges , who are to elect the members of the Second Prussian Chamber , took place . No interest whatever was shown on the oction . Scarcely half lhe number of persons entitled to vote made their appearance ; and those who did appear passively voted for the persons whose names stood on printed tickets put into their hands ,
after the fashion in wliich Moses and Son disfcaibute their handbills . Of course the persons elected are exclusively governmental . In the provinces the apathy was still greater . In some divisions of Stettin , for instance , the election could not take place , because nobody came to vote ; and if it were not for the fear , which so many people have of making themselves obnoxious to the government by
withholding their vote , it would be impossible to get up anything like an election at all . The great majority of people here would be glad to be rid of chambers , which , as long as the executive has half a million of bayonets to overawe them , must always be powerless for the support of popular right , and only serve to give the semblance of popular sanction to arbitrary measures .

James ' s tenancy extended backwards something like 200 feet , and was bounded on each side by houses , whilst a room used for lectureis and dancing extended over the top of the coach factory . Two engines were on the spot , and were instantly set to work , but the flames had obtained possession of every part of the factory , and also of the liatt ^ The firemen , finding that two engines would be of little use in extinguishing so great a body of fire , sent off to the
other stations for additional assistance , and in a very brief period numerous other engines arrived , but although tons wei ght of water was thrown upon the blazing premises , several hours elapsed before tliey . could , make the least impression upon the the fire , which continued to attack the houses in the main road , and finally several of the back windows were burned out . The hose from the engines were taken through the adjoining buildings , and by that means the firemen were enabled to cut off the further extension of the flames .
put the main bod y of flame could not be entirely extinguished until yesterday afternoon and not before the coach factory and the hall were entirely destroyed , and three houses in the Blackfriarsrpad extensivel y injured by fire and water . The whole of the carnages in the place have been consumed . The Royal Society ' s fire escape , which arrived remarkably soon at the spot , was lhe means of savingr one , if not two lives from destruction . Mr . Chatter , the proprietor of the hall , was sleeping on the premises , and was nearly suffocated before he became aware of the existence of the
