At a recent meeting of the Society for the Amendment of the Law , the following resolutions were passed : — " 1 . That the present state of the law relating to the transfer of land is highly unsatisfactory . " 2 . That a cheaper , simpler , more expeditious , and more ' accurate system is exceedingly desirable . r " 3 . That to effect this object the transfer of land should , as far as possible , be assimiiated to the transfer of stock . " 4 . That , in particular , purchasers and mortgagees should be relieved from the necessity of inquiring into equitable interests in land . " 5 . That the power to shorten the present practice as to titles to land should be conferred on a competent tribunal . " 6 . That it is absolutely necessary to control , tax , and moderate more effectually than at present the expenses connected with the transfer of land . "

It is reported by the Quebec Journals that some largo lumps of gold have been found near that town , on tho river St . Lawrence . An efficient line of steam communication with Australia , by means of large and powerful vessels , is about to be commenced by the General Screw Steam Shipping Company . The increase of trade between England and our Australian colonies renders the establishment of steam communication absolutely necessary in these days of rapid progress , and there can be no doubt of the success attending this and other undertakings of a like kind .
An American ship , tho Mount Vernon , was discovered a wreck in tho Gulf of Mexico by the Oxefea . Tho captain succeeded in taking off six unfortunate creatures , who for six days had been exposed to tho most torriblo amount of suffering . They wore almost starved to death , having been clinging to the sides of the wreck for six entire days without tho least provisions or water . They learnt from tho poor fellows that the romainder of tho crew , with some passengers , in all 12 , had perished . Tho nix survivors were put on board the Superior , which was hound for America , and which would convey them to their native country .
Some slight intelligence haa arrived from tho Capo of Good Hopobya sailing vessel : hut it only amounts to this , that the nrmed police , instituted by General Cathcarfc , havo boon very aetivo in following up the Knfirs and other marauders ; and that for the rest " the war was at a stand still . " Tho latest date was September 11 th .

Cannon , the wild beast of Walworth , will be transported for life . Mr . J . Bayliss , inventor of the fire-escape , has hung himself in the hall of the Middle Temple . Four convicts escaped from the Warrior hulk at "Woolwich , on Tuesday . They bored a hole through the side ; got out into the mud at low tide ; seized a boat and rowed over to the Essex shore . In the passage one was drowned ; and another afterwards surrendered .
Mr . Pemberton , a law student at Liverpool , and his wife , have been committed for trial on the charge of illtreating their female servant , an orphan . They are said to have beaten her with a knotted rope , a poker , and a constable ' s staff ; and also to have shut her up in a damp cellar . The plaintiffs in the late trial respecting the alleged illtreatment of the girl Griffiths , in the nunnery at Norwood , applied on Monday to the judges of the Court of Common Pleas for a new trial : which waB refused .
Two tradesmen have been charged with conspiring to defraud an emigrant at Liverpool . Richard Gardner , from Lincolnshire , about to emigrate , paid * two men , named Marks and Fairburn , the sum of 305 L , and received in exchange a draft on a New York banker for 1 , 025 dollars ; about 100 Z . short of the correct sum . The transaction was admitted ; and as the attendant circumstances were looked on as suspicious , the magistrate committed Marks and Fairburn for trial .
Jullien ' s first night is generally chosen by the fast men and gents of the town for a row . Monday was no exception ; and three of the delinquents were arrested . Of these , two were fined 51 . ; but a third , calling himself Kemp , and saying he was the son of a general , who had been " drinking slightly , " and who treated the whole affair as a kind of practical light facetia , in which it was becoming in the sons of generals to indulge , was not let ofF so easily . To the consternation of himself and many like him in court , he was ordered to be imprisoned for fourteen days .
Captain James Sargeant , deputy-governor of the Defence , convict hulk , stationed at "Woolwich , fell down from the middle to the lower deck and broke his thigh , and sustained other injuries so severe that he died on Saturday last . Some warehouses at Hull , belonging to the York and North Midland Railway Company , were destroyed by fire on Saturday . One man was killed by falling into the Humber . Three men were buried under a huge mass of earth and timber by tho fall of a railway embankment , at Sheffield , on Friday week . Efforts were instantly made to extricate them by their fellow-wockmen , who worked night and day for this purpose . The first who was dug out died immediately ; the second suffered a like fate after the most strenuous exertions to save him ; tho third had been smashed with a stono .
Three gentlemen were out on tho Isis in a dingy last week , when as tho wind began to freshen , they resolved to put up a sail . In doing this , one named Howe fell overboard ; tho dingy capsized and sunk . Two swam ashore , and were surprised to seo Howe struggling in the stream . Kendall immediately swam off ; Howe grasped him ; both sank ; but Kendall rose again and swam ashore . Howo was drowned . . A German , residing in Paris , a hatter , lost his reason from grief at tho death of his wife , and fancied himself made of glass . Ho was accustomed to tell the people not to approach him too near lest they should break him ; and for tho same fear he scarcely moved , and could with difficulty be persuaded to eat . Last week he hanged him . self A letter left on the table stated that ho had voluntarily put an ond to his existonco to uvoid being broken to
pieces . Patrick Lowo , a pensioner from the 52 nd Regiment of Light Tnfantry , ( which corps formed part of the Light Hrknule during tho Peninsular War , ) expired on the , Hrd inst aged 84 , at bis residence , Strand-street , hnniskilleii , after a few minutes' illness , of disease of the heart . Jlo was in every respect a fine old soldier , and was present at every battle and siege during the late war , under tho Duke of Wellington . Mo formed ono of the " lorlom hope" at Hndujoz , where he personally captured the irovernor of that , fortress , and for which he obtained a liiriw reward ; he was also present at Waterloo , mid had a medal with thirteen clnsps , which ho never worn , as ho considered himself wronged in not getting a fourteenth . In tho Times of last week appeared tho following advertisement : —¦

The fugitive , who is . said to be tho eldest son of Lord and Lady Lovelace ' has since been discovered in the town by the polices and <>(» Monday be was despatched back to London . ' According to tho youth ' s statement , ho had left his homo with tho intention of engaging himself an cabinboy on board a yoseol flailing from this port-, to avoid being
put on board a man-of-war . The fugitive , who is a finelooking youth , did not appear , as far as cleanliness went , to have derived much advantage from his excursion . Fifty-eight more persons have renounced Popery in St . Paul's , Bcrmondscy , since the last published account , viz ., 15 th September last . Several of these last converts are well educated persons : amongst them were two ladiesone had bren a pervert to Popery .

Health Of London" Duking The Week The Mo...
HEALTH OF LONDON" DUKING THE WEEK The mortality of the metropolitan districts continues to be rather higher than is usual at the same period of the year . The deaths registered in the week that ended last Saturday amounted to 1101 . In the ten corresponding 1 weeks of the years 1842-51 , the average number was 984 , which , if raised in proportion to increase of population , for comparison \ Vith the present return , becomes 1082 . The excess of last week ' s number above the corrected average is therefore not considerable .
Fatal cases arising from scarlatina declined from 104 in the preceding week to 82 in the last . Eight children died of small-pox , 6 of measles , 33 of hooping-cough , 5 of croup , 5 of influenza , 18 persons of diarrhoea , one of purpura , 47 of typhus ; 4 children of syphilis . No death from cholera was registered . In tho last two weeks the deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs ( exclusive of pthisis ) fell from 262 to 234 . Last week the births of 830 boys and 814 girls , in all 1644 children , were registered in London . The average number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845-51 was 1397 .
At the Eoyal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 - 534 in . The mean weekly temperature , which was 54-2 dogs ., exceeded the average of ten years by 7 * 7 dogs . It has not been so high since the week that ended 25 th September , and since tho beginning of October it has not been higher than 49 * 9 degs . In the last two weeks it has suddenly risen from 45-6 degs . to 54 ' 2 degs . The mean daily temperature was 54 * 6 degs . on Sunday , or 7 - 9 degs . above the average ; it rose on Monday to 57 ' 2 degs , declined till Thursday , when it was 50 - 3 degs ., and rose again on Friday to nearly the same height as on Monday and Tuesday , when it was about 10 degs . above the average . It was higher than tho average throughout the week . The wind blew generally ' from the south-west . -
