The forty-fourth land purchase of the society has been
elected at the thriving town of Newark-on-Trent in
Nottinghamshire. The Rev. Dr. Worthington has
retired from the board. The executive committee
have the pleasure to report that H. W. Currie,
Esq., and C. E. Newsome., Esq., have been elected
members of the board. The purchasers of plots on the
society's estates have the advantage of having their claims
for the freehold franchise in mutes sustained free
of exposes at the Registration Courts, but in ardor
that the solicitor may be fully prepared, it is
absolutely oeceseary that he should be -supplied with
the requisite deeds and particulars. The allotted.
must also be careful to specify the most convenient
polling districts in the county in which their property has
been acquired. Any alterations in qualificatioes, or changes
of residence should be at once communicated. The last day
for sending in claims for the county franchise is Saturday,
the 26th of July, and on or before that day the solicitor
should be put in possession of the necessary information, in
order that the silkiness may lie duly registered. Qualifies-
hops for eighteen counties sea be purchased through the
Conservative Land Society, securing at the same time safe
investments in land. At the recent annual meeting of the
Conservative Registration Association, attention was em-
phatically celled to the fact, that had the Conservative Laud

ism hanadatioe, I. addition to the extensive col=
sopped It hes met with, several counties might have been
saved, besides these la which the good faith of the society's
Oatese was so successfully proved. In order to appreciate
the vales of the society's purchases in various counties, it is
only aserreary to refer to the tibias of population sad
houses, smelled from the census of the Bth of April
last. In comparing the remarkable increase of inhabitant.
from 1851 to 1861, with the numbers of inhabited houses for
the acme period, and also those of houses building, the dia-
-1 proportion of the Litter to the marked increase in the
former, proves that land for building purposes will be in
much greater demand to meet the additional accommodation
that must be required in course of time. The axecastive
committee have the great satisfaction of terns=
' their thirty-fifth quarterly report with the &noon
I that the itoehiunpton Park Mansion, with a considerable
portion of land, has been advantageously sold, leaving but
a small portion of this valuable property undisposed of."
