454 BAZAAR Under the Patronage of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen his Royal iiigline,s the Prince Albert, hor Royal flightless the Duchess of Kent, her Royal Highness the Ductless of Gloucester, and numerous Ladles of the highest Distinction. A GRAND BAZAAR will be held on TUESDAY, the 3rd of June, and Two following Days by the kind permission of her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in the beautiful grounds of the ToxoPHO LITE SOCIETY, in the REGENT'S PARK, on behalf of the HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST, BROMPTON, or the special purpose of promoting the Fund to carry on this li , itional and now extensive Charity, which is entirely sustained by voluntary contributions. In announcing another Bazaar, the Committee beg leave to express their deep feeling of gratitude to the public for the generous patronage extended to the Bazaars held in former years. The profits realised by them augmented so considerably the fund by which the Hospital was built that but for these efforts the New Wing, which is now fully occupied, could have scarcely beeu commenced. The pressure of the times, however, with the heavy increase of responsibility occasioned by the accommodation given to 130 additional patients, and the opening of the Sanatorium at Bournemouth, are considerations so important that the Com mittee appeal to the friends and patrons of this valuable In stitution with unusual earnestness to support them by their pre sence at tke Bazaar, and to prepare for the effort such articles of work as they may consider suitable, including paintings, drawings, ttc. Donations also of music, minerals, botanical specimens, manufactured goods, models of mechanism, architec tural and fancy designs, specimens of coins, birds, insects, books and other publications, stations' autographs, autograph letters from celebrated men and women, original poetry, tales, flowers, dc., or pecuniary aid, forwarded to the Hospital, will be grate fully received and acknowledged. PHILIP ROSE, Hon. Secretary. OSBORN I'. CROSS, Secretary. Brampton, May 1, 1856. THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. TUNBRIDGE WELLS.—The allotment of the First Por tion of the WOODBURY-PARK ESTATE, Tunbridge wells, West Kent, will take place at the Offices, No. 33, NORFOLK. II MEET, Strand, London, on WEDNESDAY, the 21st of May, 1556, commencing at Noon, and ending at Three o'Clock p.m. Few towns in the kingdom have increased and are increasing with such rapidity as Tunbridge-wells. From a mere village, wh:eh it was scarcely a century back, the population since it was created a town in 1835, and especially since the railway was opened in 1845, has progressed remarkably. But the new buildings, numerous as they have been, have not been equal to the demand. The Improvement Acts have had the effect of not only increasing yearly the list or lishionable visitors, but have now rendered Tuabridge•wells, like Bnghton, a permanent place of residence to many persons whose daily occupations are in town. Tunhridge-wells is a station qp the South-Eastern Railway to Hastings, and is thirty-six miles from London by road, forty-six by rail, live miles south of Tunbridge, and twenty eight from Hastings. The town is in two counties, Kent and Sussex—the Woodbury-park Es:ate being in the former. The entrance to this valuable property is in the London-road, just beyond where the two roads branch off to Mount Ephraim, Mount Pleasant, and Calverley-park. The entrance to the laud is through the park lodges, and is bounded by the Shattens-wood, the South-Eastern Railway, and the Calverley Estate. The ground is undulating, and commands extensive views, and is admirably adapted from its extent and variety of aspect fur building sites, from the tirat-class villa to the cottage. The laying out of the first portion has been carefully considered with reference to the future development of the property—the ap proaches on all sides being an important item iu the Plan. A portion of the land fronting the London-road has been set apart for the site of a Church. The Plan has been thus divided : Queen's-road.—Pluts 1 to 5 and 41 to 41 inclusive, 1011. 9s. per plat Ditto.—Plots 6 to 40 inclusive, 621. 4a. 6d. per plot. Woodbury-cresceut.—Plota 45 to b 3 inclusive, 1011.9s.perplot. Ditto.-I'lota b 4 and 64, E. 61. Ms. 6d. each. Church-road.—Plots 7t! to 75 inclusive, 1501. 13s. Cd. each. • Ditto.—Plot G 9, 3131. 7s. the plot. Ditto.—Plots 05 to 68, 36M. lls. 6d. each. The above prices include the cost of conveyance, drainage, road-making, awl all charges of any kind. Every taker of one or more of the above Plots will be entitled, ou qualifying himself with the requisite Rights of Choice, and on payment of one eighth of the coat of each plot, to borrow from the Society the remaining seven-eighths of the purchase•money. The repay ments for such loan will be at the rate of 10s. per month for every 501. share. The mortgage will cost 30s. for one or any number of plots. Plans, price tid. each, may be had at the Lou don Offices, or will be forwarded by post on receipt of 7d. in pos tage stamps. The claims of the allottees for the freehold fran chise in counties will be sustained in the registration courts free of expense to the members. Holders of Rights of Choice will be entitled to select any of the remaining Plots on the following Estates, namely:—Entield, Wood-green, llornsey, Seven Sisters, Tottenham, St. Margaret's (near Richmond), all in Middlesex; Weybridge, in West Surrey; Reading Estate, Berkshire; Leeds, Yorkshire (West Biding'', West Malvern,Worcestershire; Round hill-park Estate, Brighton; Maldun, South Essex; andlirockley hill.park, Forest-hill, West Kent. Plans and particulars will be forwarded on application to the Secretary. P.a.—Some additional Plots having been agreed to be leased on the Brighton Estate, they will be offered to the holders of rights in rotation on the 21st of May, on conditions which will be announced at the allotment.

THE CHANCELLORSVILLE FREEHOLD GOLD MINING COMPANY.—The Directors of the Chan cellorsville Freehold Gold Mining Company, while preparing to lay before the Shareholders an elaborate Report, deem it deal rable, as much delay has unavoidably occurred, to put forwarti a few general facts with reference to their proceedings since their last statement. The Directors are happy to be able to say that the stability and permanent success of this undertaking are now placed beyond doubt and uncertainty. Some months have elapsed since the Directors received con siderable consignments of the ore, in consequence of theirdeter mination that its reduction, and the extraction of the gold and silver it was known to contain, should take place iu England rather than on the estate itself, away from their more direct control. Repeated assays of the ore thus received, made by the most eminent analytical chemists, at once confirmed the original reports of its value. The great difficulty with which the Directors had to contend —a difficulty which is now entirely overcome—arose from the non-existence of any machinery by which positive results could be arrived at on a scale sufficiently large to establish au average and at a remunerative cost. They also felt themselves bound to give a trial to various pro positions made by gentlemen who believed that they possessed the means of arriving at the desired result. A reduction of the ore has been made upon a quantity so large as to establish a fair average, with such a yield of gold and at such a cost of reduction, as more than to justify all anticipations, and to render the success of the undertaking a matter of cer tainty. In the meantime the Directors are making arrangements for the regular transmission of the ore, and for its reduction on a scale commensurate with the extent of the undertaking. They will be able, in the more full report they will shortly publish, to state the exact expenses and the average profit. The Directors have also the satisfaction to and that there will be no necessity for any increase of the capital of the Company, which is quite sufficient for the purposes of the undertaking.
