dis•rihuted during the past year amorg 41 applicants.
m-keg a total of 37.8651. applied to the relief of distrese.e
authors, their widows and orphans, since the institution of
the society in 1788. The treasurer's report showed that the
pernsauent fund reached 20.5001.,thet tho fund bequeathed
by Mr. T. Newton amounted to 8,1671, and that the New-
ton estate, in Weitechapel, produced a rent of 2031. per
atatuna. The report was unanimously received aod
adopted, and the Marquis of Lansdowne was re-elected
president.
PURCHASE OF LAND BY THE NATIONAL FREEHOLD
LAND flocirtg.—This society has concluded ha first pur-
chase, in East Sutrey. The estate is distant from London
about nine miles, and consists of nearly 60 acres of very
eligible building land, adjoining the Malden station on the
South Western Railway. It is bounded on two aides by
good roads, on a third side by the railwoy, and on the fourth
by the estate of the Duke of Cambridge. The terms of the
purchase are, we understand, very favourable to the society,
and it is probable that a large proportion of the alistments
will COOL the members less than 301., including all expenses.
It is said that some of the lots will be set aside for those
members who aro prepared to pay for them at once, and
that the remainder will be offered to the subscrib-
ing members in order to be determined by lot ;
and the system of drawing for priority has been
so devised that every member will bare exactly his lair
propped in of chances with reference to the length of time
for which he has subscribed. The site is admirably adapted
for the erection of small tills, worth to let from 301 to 401.
per annum, and it is calculated that the cheapest lots will
each be worth from 21. 10s. to U. a sear for budding on. Of
course, nothing is known of the political tendencies of indi-
vidual or sabers of this society, but from the general bane-
ter of the men who are using this means to acquire the
frauchise, it may be confidently assumed that this Malden
estate will in a short time be the means of [Aldine several
hundred votes to the large majority of reformers in East
Berri
Dust' LINEN.—The following pillage, written
about the year 1775, is interesting at this time It Is of
great importance to Ireland, that flax, the basis of this ma-
nufacture, is of home growth, and of the most excellent
quality. From the very moment of the seed being put into
the ground, to the time of its being inhibited in the market,
in the form of a piece of white linen, everything is the
native growth of the soil—everything the productive la-
t cue of the inhabitant." The exports of linen from Belfast
in 1775 were 147,278 pieces ; one firm is now turning out
more than that number of pies. a annually; and we pay to
the foreigner for flax, fisirseed, and oil cake, upwards of six
millions staling per annum. From the constabulary re-
turns of the breadth of fox sown in Ireland, in 1848, the
total is given of 53,863 sues ; the cent'. quantity of ilex re-
quired few British manufacture weal occupy from 350,0.10
to 400,000 acres.
DISCHARGE OP SHIPS CARGOES.—The collectors
and comptr Ilers of the custom' department, at the Dermal
ports and places throughout the United Kingdom, hare re.
cietved directions from the comutimionen to transmit to the
board, with all practicable dispatch, Vie following account,
so far as the same relates to their respective ports, via., an
account of the number of cues in which vessels have rot
discharged their cargoes within the period required h 1 the
16th section of the Regulation Act of the Rth and 9Lb N ict.,
esp. 116, during the last three v ears, stating the length of
time by te.ich such prrioi has been exceeded in each in-
stance, and the amount charged to the psrtioi for the day
pay of the officials, and distinguiebing the vessels which re-
mained in pert la consequence of the existence of any em-
bargo or blockade.
