The first allotment of land and ground• rents for the pre. sent year took place at the offices on the 28th of February. The successful sale of plots on the second portion of the Woodbury Park Estate, Tunbridge Wells, proves the popu larity of this pictures . que property. The advantage of the running of direct trains to Tunbridge Wells is little over the hour, the construction of the new roads on the estate with short communications to the town and railway station, and the opening of the new church at St. John-on-the- Lew, on the freehold site set apart with the ground for the parsonage on the society's plan, have increased considerably the value of the Woodbury Park Estate. For the ground-rents offered at this allotment on the St. Margaret's and Battersea Estates, there was considerable competition amongst the holders of rights of choice. The next allotment (the second this year) is fixed for Thursday, the 16th of May, on, which occasion will be offered other portions of the Roehampton Park Estate in building plots, at prices ranging according to size and situa tion from close-built houses to high-class villas. The Ken tish Town Estate drainage having been completed under the sanction of the Metropolitan and St. Pancras Boards of Works, a new plan has been printed, and the unsold por tions will be offered to the holders of rights and to the general public. The forty-third estate purchased for the society, being the third property in Hertfordshire, will be allotted during this year. As the land is situated close to the railway and fronts the High-street of Hertford, adjoining to the second estate, for which the demand has been so good, the share holders can be congratulated on this acquisition. The executive committee have the gratification also of informing the members, that two new churches are now open for divine worship at Maidstone and Winchester, the freehold sites for which were presented by the society. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury consecrated Et. Paul's Church at Maidstone, and preached the sermon, and the Christchurch district church was consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester. The Rev. Canon Carus has made the mu n;ficent gift of £3,000 to this last-mentioned church ; £2,00J for the edifice and £l,OOO for the endowment.' The great extension of the metropolitan railroad system, and the large removal of houses required for the various companies are attracting the attention of the Legislature. Building land in the suburban districts will be more than ever in demand. The executive committee, in the acquisi tion of property in and near the metropolis, considered that the increasing disposition evinced by all classes of the com munity to abandon the crowded streets in order to live in healthy localities at a convenient distance from town would eventually exercise a powerful influence in the develcpnient of the society's estates. It is now the time for the allot tees to turn to account their freehold land. Those who undertook building operations with advances from the Conservative Land Society, have had reason to be satisfied with the result, whilst shareholders who were holders of rights of choice have beeii thus afforded the opportunity of purchasing ground rents on most eligible t erms . The committeeinvite attention to the following estates in the six Home Counties, as presenting peculiar ad van t ages o f prompt omnibus, river, and railroad communication with the metropolis : MIDDLESEX. Kentish-town estate, York-road, N., by the North Lon don, Great Northern, and omnibu s . Old Ford estate, Old Ford-road, E., by the Eastern Counties, North London, and omnibus. Roman-road estate, North Bow, by the Eastern Coun ties, North London, and omnibus. Seven Sisters estate, Tottenham, by the Eastern Coun ties and omnibus.

Hackney estate, close to station, by the North London and omnibus. Ealing estate, the Church, by the Great Western and omnibus. Hounslow estate, close to station, by the South Western. St. Margaret's estate, Twickenham and Isleworth, by the Richmond, Twickenham, and Isleworth stations, river, and Richmond omnibus. SURREY, EAST. Putney estates, Putney-bridge and Wandsworth-road, by the river, omnibus, and South 'Western. Battersea estate, Lower Wandsworth-road, by the river, omnibus, and South Western. Camberwell Houses estate, Denmark-road, by the omni bus. Roehampton-park estate, Roehampton, by the Barnes and Putney stations. SURREY, WEST. Oatlands Grange estate, Weybridge, by the South West. Guildford estate, Guildford, by the South Western. KENT, WEST. Brockley-hill-park estate, Forest-hill, by the Forest-hill and Beckenham stations. Woodbury-park estate, Tunbridge-wells, by the South Eastern. Maidstone estate, St. Paul's Church, by the South Eastern and North Kent. HERTFORDSHIRE. Hertford and Ware (No. 1) estate, halfway between the two towns, by the Eastern Counties and Great Northern. Hertford (No 2) estate, Fore-street, adjoining station, by the Eastern Counties and Great Northern. Hertford (No. 3) estate, Fore-street, adjoining station, by the Eastern Counties and Great Northern. ESSEX, SOUTH. Maldon estate, Maldon, by the Eastern Counties. SUSSEX. Roundhill.park-estate, Brighton, by the South Coast. In addition to the above estates in the Home Counties, there may be added the Downshire-square estate, Reading, fronting the road to Oxford. The executive committee, in the mention of the above estates as admirably adapted for the erection of residences (the railroad, even to the most distant property, bringing it within what were f)rmerly termed suburban districts), beg to remind the shareholders that the roads and drainage, the supply of water and gas, are in nearly every instance complete, and that the salubrity of the situation and the eligibility of the sites are unexceptionable. On these estates there is ample room for selection from the habitation cal culated for the industriousand saving operative to the first class villa. The investor in any of the unsold land can pay the cost of his land by easy monthly instalments, and the allottee who wishes to build on his plot is afforded every facility in the way of advances. More than this, the com mittee claim credit for the society's system in securing for the buyers of land unusual advantages in legal and survey ing expenses. On some of the estates railroad companies offer strong inducements for building, either by granting free passes for a certain number of years to the owner of a house, or by a reduction of fares; and there is little doubt after the patrio- tic appeals made by Lord Derby and Lord Shaftesbury, who have so earnestly and eloquently advocated the claims of the displaced working classes, that further concessions for the accommodation of the public will be made by the metropolitan railway boards, whose interest and policy must be to promote building operations at or near every station within an easy distance of London. The executive cora mittee have on various occasions vainly endeavoured to im press on some of the railway companies the importance of inducing holders of building land to build ; and as the Le gislature has now taken up the subject of securing extra accommodation for the persons who will have to look for houses in the suburbs, the directors may entertain the ex pectation that there may be for the future additional temp tations held out to the allottees of the Conservative Land Society. Buildings to a considerable extent have taken place on the above estates, and the opportunity is still afforded to obtain plots either from the society or from allottees. (Signed) RANELAGH, Chairman.

Bd., ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT o f STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be removed by the most simple means. By P. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Utethra. _ " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab contribution, both to the general and professional re a d e r, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

ALEXANDER DIIMAS.—A publisher named Delavier on Friday brought an action before the Civil Tribunal against M. Alexander Dumas, to obtain pay ment of 22,600 fr. He showed that he had been engaged with Dumas in the publication of the journal called the Monte Cristo, and that the result was that in 1848 that gentleman was his debtor for 10,295 fr. ; that he subse quently made advances to Dumas for his expedition to Rus sia and Circassia, and also for the purchase of the brig in which he contemplated visiting the Greek Archipelago — the said advances, when added to the preceding sum, making the total claimed. He further said that beforeleav ing for Italy, Dumas had entered into an arrangement to pay him in a year, bat ho had not done so. In reply to the action Dumas affirmed that in the .!fonts Cristo affair, De lavier had not acted fairly by him, and he therefore prayed that their partnership in it should be declared for mally at an end, and moreover that Delavier should be made to pay him damages as an indemnity for having unjustifiably brought the present action. But the Tribunal rejected Dumas's demand, and ordered him to pay the plaintiff 22,600 f. in four instalments with illteCegt ) also tv pay WA 600 A dtimaseq and the cp§tle 'UST. The Pigeon• steam gunboat, 60 horse-power, left Chatham for Sheerness yesterday for the trial of her machinery at the measured mile. She was in charge of Capt.

Maudslay, Son, and Field, worked admirably, and the vessel attained a mean speed of 8% knots per hour, though a very strong and contrary wind was blowing at the time. The Fly steam gunboat, 60 horse power (tender to the Cornwallis, at Hull), Lieut.-Commander J. S. Keats, and the Sandfly, steam gunboat, 60 horse power (also tender to the Cornwallis, at Hull), Lieut.-Commander Harrington C.

The corvette Cossack, 21, Captain 11loottnan, in Plymouth Sound, is bound to the Cape of Good Hope, and will leave in a few days.

Yesterday morning Victoria-street, Westmin ster, presented a scene of great excitement, in consequence of the opening a new line of tramway from Westminster Abbey to the Victoria Station at Pimlico. At eight o'clock the first carriage was placed upon the tramway, and continued running backwards and forwards every five minutes. It is a light and commodious vehicle, capable of contain ing about twenty-four persons sitting down and ten standing. It is not calculated for carrying passen on the roof ; one has been built for outside passen gers and will carry as many as 48. The tramway does not in the slightest degree interfere with the ordinary traffic, and the carriages run with all the smoothness of a railway train. The fare charged each way was 2d., and the novelty of the thing in duced numbers to invest their money in two, three, or more journeys. It should be mentioned that the carriage never leaves the trams, nor does it turn round. At the end of the journey the horses are disconnected from the carriage and fastened to the other end. Mr. W. Train's omnibus is not so high as the ordinary omnibuses, and the means of ascend ing and descending retider it a matter of perfect ease. At each end of the vehicle is a bell, by which the guard signals the driver to stop or go on, and altogether the arrangement's are as practical and com plet as could be wished. After the carriage had been running for a con siderable time, to the gratification of the riders and spectators about 60 gentlemen adjourned to the Mrest minster Palace Hotel to partake of a real American breakfast, which was served up in a style which augurs well for the success of the hotel company. Among those present were Le Prince Pitzipios, Hon. Ralph Dutton, M.P., and Mr. John Brady, M.P. After ample justice had been done to the break fast, Mr. Train announced his intention to immor talise the company present byi having the whole of them photographed, together with the West minster Palace Hotel, with the carriage in the fore ground. The photographic operation completed, and the company having retired from the windows and taken their seats, Mr. TRAIN, in a very animated speech, proposed the chief toast of the morning, " Victoria, the Queen of the English Empire—the Empire of the World." The toast was drunk enthusiastically. Mr. BRADY, M.P,, then proposed the "President of the United States," which was responded to with the same cordiality. Mr. C. A. BRISTED returned thanks, and warmly acknowledged the compliment paid to the Americans present by the manner in which the health of their President had been drunk, and said that although he had not voted for Mr. Lincoln, because he was 3,000 miles away at the time, yet he cordially con curred in that election, as he felt it would tend to continue and draw closer the ties of amity between the two countries. The " Press," and several other toasts having been given and responded te, the party separated, after having passed a very agreeable morning. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will (with four codicils) of Lieut.-General Sir Robert John Harvey, of Mousehold House, near Norwich, was proved in London on the 21st of February last, by the executors, Samuel Twining and Roger Allday Kerrison, Esqrs. He leaves to Lady Harvey the use of the house and furniture at Mousehold for her life. At her death the use of the house at Mousehold is left to his eldest son, Robert John Harvey, for his life. His two pre sentation swords, presentation and family plate, and his oil paintings, are made heir looms to be enjoyed with the said residence. He directs the rents of his estates to be invested for five years, or until £20,000 shall be raised ; then to accumulate at com pound interest for sixteen years further. He leaves a life interest in £30,000 to his son Edward Kerri son Harvey, and the principal to the sons of the said son, and he bequeaths £l,OOO each to Frances and Mary, daughters of the said Edward. At the expiration of five years after his decease he leave a life interest in his landed estates to his son Robert John Harvey Harvey, Esq. Then to his grandson, Robert Lambert Sutton Harvey, for his life in tail male. The testator considers that his son Robert John Harvey Harvey being entitled to a life estate or some other interest in certain manors and estates at Tharston and Forn cett, and also at Watton, Saham, and Ovington, and the testator having made a provision for him as a partner in the bank, and also a further provi sion on the occasion of his marriage. that those se veral provisions and that made for him and his children by this will will be amply sufficient. To his tenants he leaves each a years rent, if not ex ceeding £l2, and to his servants and clerks he leaves several small annuities or legacies. He gives authority to his trustees at any time within six months of his decease, at the request of Robert John Harvey Harvey, to lend to the bank of Messrs.

The testator di I sth of hue, 060e•riYofoli,; Z 7 w LIFINGSTOAE , S LAST RE. Ili AFRICA. • • Sir R. Murchi.on, in a letter to a con says :—" Of the abiding influence exerctsteiyrj Livingston e over th e m i n d s and affections off - the natives of South Africa the most striking examples were narrated by that great traveller when he told • us of the staunch fidelity of hisMocololo companions under the most trying difficulties, and how these poor natives were awaiting his return on the Lower • Zambesi, in the confident belief that he would make good his pledge to reconduct them to their homes. To the honour of our country, my intrepid and dis tinguished friend has honourably kept his word. By the last packet I learn from himself that, after a journey of about 1,400 miles, for the rn oat part performed on foot, he has (with his compan!ions, Dr. Kirk and Mr. Charles Livingstone) revileited his friend the King Sekelutu, at Sheskeke, an.d taken back the remnant of his Macololo escort. The discovery and opening out of the great river Shire and the examination of the salubriou s moun tains on its banks having been completed, Living stone then set about to realise his promise to the Macololo, and in this last journey has made consi derable additions to geographical and geological knowledge. Thu:, he has defined the coume of the chief affluents of the Zambesi, the depth. of that river at different seasons, and the nature and ex tent of its rapids. He has also ascertaine.l that the coal of the sandstone region (which I believe to be the true old coal) is vastly extended to the East, the mineral frequently reappearing in natural out crops over a very wide area. Revisiting the celebrated Victoria Falls, and examining them in detail, our faithful explorer has found (a most uncommon defect among travellers) that he had greatly underrated their magnitude in his published work. Their breadth, which he had estimated at about 1,000 yards, is now ascertained to be at least 1,860 yards, with a sheer fall of 310 feet I These and many other phenomena will be treated of at the next meeting of the Royal Geographical Society on the 22d inst., when an interesting raemc i be read describing the country lying betwt Itufue and the Victoria Fa.ll-! as occupied by ti: Batoka, an industrious and agricultural peopl.., if peculiar habits, who were very kind to our tilt' .dlers. In his last letters, dated thy: Ist and 2d of Feb ruary last, from Kongone, at the mouth of.the Zam besi, Livingstone announces that the new steam boat, the Pioneer, which has been sent out to him. by her Majesty's Government, was in the offing, and thus provided, he proposed to ascend the river to beyond the Portuguese settlements, and thence carry out the ulterior objects of his mission.
