Tux Ewcranion Commssionens.—This Board bid @ special meeting Saturday, to cunfer asto the best course tobe pursued by them with regard to the deficiensy of LAURA KRENWS VABI@TIES, Broadwar Camuss— ont-ard-cat Henry Clay whigepeech. It wasa Ss remorkable speech in this—taat though 2 tengthy speech, and without a tincture of Sew- ardicm, or hard or soft democracy, it had not the slightest allusion to the present wherea- bouts of Mr. Fillmore, nor ® word oonceraing hie Presidential prospecte, nor a syllable iu re- lation to the ‘Philadelphia Convention which pieced him and Major Donelson as the joint ~stock “straight whig” azd@ Know Nothing “ticket for the succession, But mark what the hopeful ex-Governor did say. He said that :— It is not for me to rpeak for others; it seems unnecersary for me to spesk even fur myself; but in that convection Iwill simply say. that novwithstanviug the strife and confusion of parties that now exist. the new names that have been assumed, the new topics ‘hat have been pre- sented. there are thousands and tens of thousands of Henry Clay whige spread over the vast expanse of this repurlic; and wheder the party is declared disbanded or aot, there is still a lar; of the American people who achere to bis ples ani will maintain and cacry them into effect. (Enthusiastic cheers.) 82 far as the whigs of New York are concerned, it is not to be doubted tha: in due time :bey will couns toge:her. They will ‘wo an endersten: ing; they will coovene and delibe- rate and consider the true condition of the coun'ry, and adept that course that is best eaiculated to restore peace aro harmony te the confederacy, and plase the comstitu- tution and the Union upon an imperianaple findation, and rill sustaim ro candidate or afiliste wit. no party that is not true to those principles and to ihat poltey which the whig party maintsized in ite best and pstasiest days. These are my ren\iments, “Are you there, old Truepenny?” And are we, sure enough, to have aregular “indepen- dext straight whig” movement for the Novem- ber pitched battle?—or will our “thousands and tens of thousands of Henry Clay whigs spread over the vast expanse of this republic” stand neutral through the coming conflict and per- mit the election to go by default? That's the next question. We presume that the answer of Mr. Fillmore (when it comes) to the Phila- delphia Convention, the “Live Oak George Law” New York Know Nothing Convention of Jane, the Sewardite Convention of June, the Democratic Convention of June, and the gen- eral results of all these gatherings, will have first to be ascertained before we can get an answer from the regular independent Clay whigs. Very well. Weare in nohurry. But if these Clay whigs intend to make a bona fide “straight whig” diversion, it is time they were beginning to take soundings. Can’t our New York city “live whigs” commence operations upon the programme of Governor Hunt? Sup- pose they try. Wuicu 1s THE RESPONSIBLE Party ?—This is the question at present under discussion by the Albany newspapers, concerning what they call the “ precipitate adjournment” ot the Le- gislature. The Know Notbings charge the act upon the Sewardites, the Sewardites upon the Know Nothings, and the democrats lay the blame upon both Know Nothings and Seward- ites. Nomatter. Neither of the parties most concerned has gained much by the act, we admit. It was impossible to make a large amcunt of capital (after wasting the regular term of the session in idleness or schemes of plunder) by adjourning at the appointed day. The best of all is, the people have got r‘l ofa gang of insatiable cormorants. So let oar Al- bany cotemporaries keep quiet, and let our amiable Governor stick to his pledge. Nothing like that pledge. Vmoris “Oysters anp OTHER TERRAPINS axp Witp Fow.”—Inxrorwation Wantep.— At the late session of the Virginia Legislature, in pursuance of the recommendation of Gov. Wiee, a bill was introduced, (said to have been drawn up by the Governor himself) entitled “A bill to provide revenue from the trade.in oysters and other shell fish, terrapius and wild fowl,’ and we believe some such bil) is now a Virginia law. We have been asked, by interested parties here, to explain i: provi sions; but not having the statute at huud, we sball feel obliged if the Richmond Enquirer, the special organ of Gov. Wise, will briefly state for our information the license fees, fines, &c., established in the act “to provide revenue” to the Virginia treasury “from the trade in oysters and other terrapins and wild fowl.” vauit. Thin cls! is contested by the church, oo the ground that the grants of th» vauita were not intendea to convey, and dic not emvey, any portion of the iegai fee, but only » privilege, or exvement, in the land to bay the land; that the whole legal esta'e io the land re- mained in the church, suhjec’ only to such privilege or eavement, aud that the porsession of such of the vau't owoers, WhO precuce no grant oF poner title, proves only that as occupants they wre enjoying a similar privilege or easement. I think tLe vault owners arein error in suppoa- ‘pg that the eburch iniented to convey, or didia fact con- vey apy portion of the ‘and ocoupied by the steps to the vavlite. 1 gather from the resolutions of the tris ees of the church, that it was their intention to grant » plece of ground 133¢ by 103 feet tor the purpose of buryiug the dead:; 1 sm also of opioion that the deeds exscuted and deliverec, and convey the righ’ to use @ pjece of ground of tacse dimecrions, and vothing more, for that purprse, exept the right to have step» into the vault, by cecupying sufficient of adjacent land for that purpose, and to cover ruch steps with a fiat stone even with the sur’ace of tbe ground, aod to bave access to the vault at all times necessary for the purpcae of iaterments therein, T think it may als) be presumed that each vault owner rece:ved from the cburch a dved of a similar character to those produced. The five vault owners whose title a3 erued previous to 1786, of the ebaracter of that to De Witt and Quackenboth, and the seven wiose tide cquired subsequent to that date, simi- to the Messrs. Ash and Mr. ‘Irving, the rerious question i1 the case, and thet in, what ostate was gran‘ea by these conveys cos to tothe grantees by the church? I: wes an incient at common law to every corporation, to have a capacity to purchase and alien lands and cbattels, unless they wore specially reatrained by their charters or by statute, In- senernt of primitive laws, all corporations have the ab- jute jus dispon-ndé of lane and chattels, neither limit- éd as to onjecs nor elrenmecribed as to quantity; and this common iaw right of disposition continued in Eog- Jand until it was taen swav, or gcanted to religious cor- porationn by several restraining statutes, in the reign of Etsabeth. We bave not r¢-¢: acted in New York those Aisabling acts, (2 Kent's Com. pp. 813, 314.) Although there stacutes have vot been re-enacted in this State, yut, as they attend the commcn iew, they were binding here. Chancellor Kent in 1 Com. pp. 623, 624, lays down the role that it 1s the establixhed coowine that English ntatutes] passed before the emigration ot their ancestors, ard applicable to our situadon and in amendment of the laws, constitute a part of the common law of tals country.” (See eaton alted, and ,particularly Brgardad ve, Trwity church, 4 Paige’s Rep. 198.) The act cf March 14, 1808) sestion 29, chspier 48, author- ized whe Chancellor to make an order permitting ‘ religious corporation to make saie of any real estate belonging to it. The objects and reasons of this act are fully Cisousred by Chascellor Walworth, in the case of the Garden sireet church vs. Mott, 7 Paige, 83. He then arrived at the eonc'usion that previous to the act ot 1806, a religicus assicistion could not make sale of it real estate; and that tne intention of that act was to give ‘to every religious corporation an uplimi‘ed power to con- Tey avy reel property be'd by thers, with the consent ot the Chencelicr. And in that case he held that the cor- pcration con]: not sell or make a goud title without the revious conrent of the Chanzeilor. It is, therefore, clear fo my mind that an absclute right or fitie in fee of the soi belonging to this religious corporation could not have been granted previous to the act of 1806; and since then, with the consent ot the Court of Chancery. 1 think the referee hae arrived at the correct eonc!n- sicn in reference to ‘he es ate actually granted. It is but an easement or privilege for the interment of tne dead in the par\icular place desigosted, acd such easement being terminated Pye ‘taking of ibe land for public use, eompenration is to be made for its value. ‘Ihe Judge entirely coneurs in the conclusions of the referee, and directs an order to be entered confirming the report, with s reascnabie aliowance for counsel fees.
