PERPETUAL INVESTMENT LAND AND

BUILDING SOCIETY.

A public meeting, called by the directors of this
society, was held last evening at the Leetnre-hall, Lorrimore-
road, Walworth, to explain the principles and advantages
of land and building societies in general, and of this one in
particular•
•

- Mr. W. WILLIAMS, M.P., as member for the borough of
Lambeth, took the chair, and stated the objects of the
society as set forth is its prospectus, via.: To enable the
members by small monthly or other contributions, or by an
immediate payment of 30/., to become the pureb 1 a
piece of freehold laud, et sufficient quantity Mr the erection
of a house with garden, and of ample value for securing a
vote for the county. To assist members to build houses
upon the land so obtained, they repaying the loan by
monthly or other instalments during any number of years
from Ito 16. To receive money for investment from the
members, and to give them interest at a higher rate than
ten be obtained in savings banks, or in any other equally safe
investment. The shares are 301. each, which will be secured
by a monthly subscription of 45., during 10 years. tieherrip-
thins may be paid quarterly, ball-yearly, or yearly, in ad-
vance." lie added that be regarded such an ineditutieu us one
capable of conferring great advantages in a social and moral
point of view on those who chose to join it. It also involved
a political right of great consequence, but to which he did
not attach so much importance as the social and moral ffect.
No one could dispute that it was • very great advantage for
the poor man to be enabled, by saving only Is. a week for
10 years or 2s. • week fur live years, to obtain a freehold in
the country, and that by a further contribution to be en-
abled to buil I • house for himself on the land when ob-
tained. As he understood the prospectus, it was not neces-
sary to wait until the whole live or ten years' subscriptions
were paid before the land could be obtained, but a ballot
took place as the land was purchased and allotted,
in which all the shares on the list were en-
titled to come in and take their chance, though
only • few months' subscriptions had been paid. The secre-
' tart', Mr. Tresidder, had made • calculation showing that
through the means of this society a poor man might by pay-
ing 2s. 10d. a week for 15 years, secure his freehold, and
have a house (the building of which was estimated at about
701.), free from any further charge for either principal or
interest. Ile further understood that members who might
not desire to avail themselves of these advantages might at
any time obtain back the subscriptions they had paid with
interest.

Mr. J. 000 x, the chairman of the society, next addressed
the meeting, enlarging ou the political advantages such aso-
cloy was calculated to confer. The directors, he said, though
adopting the freehold land principle originally, had not
hitherto put forth that branch of their business, but hav-
ing met with so much WIMPS in the other branch—that of
the building society, whicn had issued 1,72 shares—they
thought the time was come for bringing prominently before
the public the freehold lend branch. lie detailed many of
the incongruities of the law of parliamentary representa-
tion, in order to show the necessity of au enlargement of
the franchise and of a new Reform Hill ; but, though he
looked on freehold land societies as a means of attaining
those ends, he disclaimed for himself and co-managers any
party motive, and should be equally well satisfied whether
the addition to the number of voters the society made went
in favour of the one side or the other, having no
doubt that the greater freedom there was for the ex-
pression of the popular voice, the greater was the
security for good government. Turning from the political
question, he dilated on the social comforts resulting from
providing in youth for the wants of age, and especially
from the certain income a freehold, however small, con-
ferred, and concluded by explaining in detail the operations
of the society, and the manner in which it was made avail-
able for its great objects.

Mr. WATSON, the solicitor, and Mr. Diu.Lan, another of
the directors of the institution, followed, announcing simi-
lar views, and Riving similar explanations, Mr. Watson, in
the course of his remarks, eliciting an expression of con-
temptuous mirth from the meeting by mentioning the re-
ported new schemo of the present government for en-
larging the franchise, viz., to widen Lthe limits of the in-
come tax, so as to embrace all incomes dowr. to 501., and to
give the right of voting to every payer of the tax,
• • •

_ . . . .
A vote of thanks to the chairman was then proposed by
Mr. WisaA, churchwarden of St. Mary's, Newington, and
seconded by Mr. BVltOldil, the vestry c!crk, a brief ac-
knowledgment of which from the bon. gentleman cloted
the proceedings.

TRELEIOR CONSOLIDATED —MINING COMPANY.—
Yesterday the annual general meeting of shareholders in
this company was held at the offices in Broad-street, Mr.
Can in the chair. The report stated that MCSITs. Thomas
and Jennings had been sent to inspect and report on the
mine. These gentlemen stated that Gardens shaft was sunk
to 125 fathom level, and the lode cut there at an opening
eight feet in length ; the lode was three feet wide and very
poor. The 113 fathom level was driven from Gardens shah
three fathoms east and eight fathoms west; the lode was
poor throughout. The 100 fathom level was driven in the
course of the lode from Gardens shaft:loo fathoms west to
within about 20 fathoms from the boundary and 110 fathoms
from east, altogether under the richest part of the mine.
This they hoped would prove a reproductive level through-
out. 90, 80, and 70 fathom levels were suspended. In the
North Downs Mine the 93 fathom level was driven east
from the boundary shaft 15 fathoms ; the last four
fathoms produced about 201. worth of ore per fathom.
The end was now worth about 81. per fathom. The lode at
the end of the 80 fathom level would, it w.is thought, be
found of value. The end of 70 fathom level was small and
poor. The inspectors were decidedly of opinion that a stop
should be put to all works below the 100 fathom level. The
cause of failure was probably a change in the directionof
the mine. It had been fully and satisfactorily tried as far
as the western part and below the 100 fathom level, and the
operations were carried on with economy. The balance
last year was 7391. 10s. 6d. The sales of copper, mundic,
&e., during the year produced 6,9891. 175., and the balance
this year was 1,4281. 13s. 7d. The company's assets
amounted to 2,3681. 6s. Bd., and the liabilities to
1,2661. 13s. 9d., leaving a balance of 1,1011. 12s. Ild, The
chairmen, in moving the adoption of the report, said that
although their finances were in • better position than last
year, he regretted that the mine did not loot so encourag-
ing for the moment. But every one knew the uncertainty
of mines, and he was not without hope that the Treleigh
would once more pay a dividend.—The report was adopted.
Mr. Williams recommended care and economy in the work-
ing of the mine. A vote of thanks to the directors termi-
nated the business.

THE POTATO Diszmim,—The following letter on
the above mysterioue and desolating visitation, from Mr. J.
Molloy, 1.P., Co. Dublin, appears in the Irish farmers'
Casette:—Sir,—The potatoes of Ireland have been visited
this year by two distinct diseases—the one produced by a
cloud, containing electric fluid, passing over the earth,
causing immediate destruction to their leaves; and they
being to full vigour of growth, it was communicated to the
potato, causing, in the first instance, a separation between
the akin, containing a watery substance, similar to boiling
water poured on the hand, after • short time becoming
black, and rotten. lam firmly convinced that the cholera
can be traced to a 'dallier cause front clouds, descending to
the earth, containing a deadly poisan to the human race, act-
ing similarly to the electric fluid on the potato, turningite
victim black and rotten. The second calamity incident to the
potato ism insect of the beetle tribe,similar to • flea in appear-
ance, posseseing the same activity of flying and conceal-
ment. The colour is brown, with an admixture of white.
Feeding, as most insects do, on the inside of the leaf, the
action of the sun then colours that spot black, but produces
no injury to the potato. They then penetrate the earth,
and deposit their eggs on the skin of the patato, after which
that spot becomes putrid, similar to a spot on meat after •
blue-fiy deposits its eggs. Remove them, still the spot is
decomposed. In twenty•four hours after they have
life, and are extremely active in their movements.
Each insect penetrates the akin on the brown spot on the
potatoes, through holes finer than the point of • needle,
continuing to grow to the aims of the eighteenth of an inch.
canting destruction to the entire potato. The insects in
the maggot state remain • fortnight in the potato, after
which they form an insect like • beetle, and the colour,
after Beale time, becomes yellow and glossy like silt. Hay-
ing discovered, through perseverance, the proximate cause
of these two diseases, I em also in possession of remedies
to prevent • recurrence of them, which I hope in • future
day to lay before the public. I regret I cannot do so at
present, as every day the potatoes are becoming more and
more injured. I have also succeeded by • simple process in
preserving my potatoes in the same condition they are dug
out of the earth for the lett three years—namely, half-
diseased, quarter-diseased, in the field or heggart, sound
seed for the following year, as competent judges who have
seen them have declared.

PROCEEDINGS BEFORE CIIIEF CLERKS IN CHAN-
CERY.-With the view of expediting proceedings in the
Court of Chancery, it is provided by the act 15 end 16 Viet..
cap. 80, that from and after the first day of Michaelmas
Term next, the Master of the Rolls and the Vice-Chancel-
lors shall have the sfie power, subject to such rules as the
Lord Chancellor may make, to order what matters and
things shall be investigated by and before their respective
chief clerks, either with or without their direction during
their progress, and what matters and things shall be heard
and investigated by themselves, and particularly if the
ljudge shall so direct his chief clerk respectively, shall take
accounts and make such inquiries as have usually been pro-
recut( d before the chief clerks of the present routers, and
the judge shall give such aid and directions in every or any
such account or inquiry as he may think proper, but sub-
ject, nevertheless., to the right provided for the suitor to
' bring any particular point before the judge himself. Seeing
that the Master of the Rolls and the Vice-Chancellors have
to sit at chambers, this provision will be advantageous to
the suitors.

SHOALING OF THE DOGGER-WM.—The Light-
ning, war steamer, on Monday, left the Tyne, having taken
in a supply of coals, and proceeded on a second survey on
the North &a. Much alarm has been felt at the shoaling
of the Dogger-bank, which lies some 60 miles oft the north
east coast of England, and the Admiralty have given in-
structions for the hank to be sounded. On the last occa-
sion the Lightning was out surveying, those on hosed sue-
cetdcd in carrying a line of soundings across the North &a
to the coast of Denmark, in the parallel of 55 deg. north,
returning in the latitude of 61 deg. north to Mambo,
Dead, sounding every quarter of an hour, night and day.
We believe as small a depth as 7 fathoms was found, but
information was received from several fidiermen that they
have struck bottom in 54 fathom. on the tail of the Dogger-
bank, and this within .00 or 70 miles of our own coast, a
depth that might be fetal to a deeply-laden vessel meat
from the Baltic.

STEAM-POWER, AS APPLICABLE TO THE'
PURPOSES OF A FARM.

Mr. James D. Ferguson, of Bywell Castle, New-
castle-upon-Tyne, formerly agricultural eagitwer in Glas-
gow, received the Medium Gold Medal of the Highland
Agricultural Society for the following paper, published in
the October ameba of the " Journal of Agriculture:"

The writer, is eltedag hie observations inreeessess to the
semparative advantages of fixed and portable steam-power,
as applied& to the popes& of a Ira, believes be will best

3. Portable steam-power applied to ditto ditto.
4. Portable bone-power applied to ditto ditto.
Steam-power applied to the plough is, the writer be-
lieves, Of fiery recent origin, and, SO far as he is aware,
the first attempt on II large scale was made Same yean
ago in Lothar-mess, neu the town of Dumfries. On that
occasion many thousands were witneeses of the exhibition,
and the writer happened to be one of the number, whine
opinion, like that of manthers, in respect to the utility
or general advantage of ti, steam plough, was by nommen
favourable. There was evidence, certainly, of a curious
and most ingenious piece of mechanism, not only in the
engine sad its connexions, hut in the working of the plough
—which, however, went bat a short way so compensation
for the many defects which appeared in the working of
both.
On the whole, it was then general opinion at the time that
it did its work very imperfectly ; sad, consequence of
the many obstructions in thesoi which it met with—the
iron belt which pulled the plough being continually brut-
ing, as well as other parts of the machinery, and conse-
quently much time being lost and expense incurred in
peeling repairs—it is the deliberate opinion of the writer
that, except for large level tracts of moss or bog, or for
large enclosures on unsays level or arse farms, where
there are ao obstructions lathe soil to birder the fru work-
lag of the plough, it cannot be brought into
general am for the majority of tenants, modally es the
great weight of the eagle* es well as its expense will con-
neatly operate to in dladviatage for if the 'esilse is',

travel with or is st the plough, which may be
done on dry groaol. sr probably three horse-power
would be expended I. the engine itself. All these
would materially operate a its general application.
In a district of country, however, where there are large
enclosures and extensive cane farms comparatively level,
of loamy or *ley roil, and no likelihood of the
plough meeting with any formidable obstruction in the
subsoil, a steam plough might, the writer is positive, be in-
troduced, and advantageously employed, on the principle of
the portable steam engine for thrashing, the proprietor of
the engine and plough hiring tbem out from time to time to
parties—he charging a certain amount per day or per acre,
according to the quantity ploughed, the tenant affording
fuel or not, as the cue might be.
He would feel very sorry to discourage any invention by
which the labour of cultivation to the farmer would be I
cheapened ; but as respects the application of steam to the
working of the plough, be has, like many others, his doubt'
its ever being of general advantage to the majority of
tenants.

-131;;s-power, however, both dud and portable, is and
may further be of the greatest advantage to tenants, in

satisfactorily to prove this, at least to give a very decided
opinion in reference to it, more especially as it has been his
lot not only to attend to various kinds of thrashing-ma-
