THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.

The ordinary quarterly meeting of the members of the
Conservative Land Society was held at Exeter Hall, this
afternoon—Viscount Ranelagh in the chair.
The SECRETARY (Mr. (Iruneisen), having read the ad-
vertisement convening the meetilig, Lord Ranelagh read
the following report :

" The executive committee experience more than ordi-
nary gratification in submitting their 40th quarterly report
to the members, as the tenth anniversary was completed on
the 7th of September last, and the Conservative Land So-
ciety has now entered on its 11th year. Its permanent
prosperity will be proved by the annual accounts closing
the financial operations of the year ending the 30th of Sep-
tember last.

" The committee have the pleasure to state that they re-
elected William Astbury, Esq., and Newnham Winstan-
ley, Esq., as their two auditors, under rule 30, and the
members will this day have to nominate two auditors, under
the same rule, to audit the accounts of the society for the
past year. The candidates for the two auditors to be elected
by the shareholders are the Rev. William George Good-
child, Mr. James Goad, and Mr. narding. The balance-
sheet for 18G1-62 will be submitted at the usual annual
meeting next December.

" At the special meeting, which will be held this day, a
requisition, duly signed, will be taken into consideration,
proposing certain alterations in the existing rules. These
changes and additions do not interfere in any manner with
the fundamental principles of the society, but the com-
mittee have deemed it expedient, for the efficient protec-
tion of the shareholders, as well as to increase the sphere of
usefulness of the society, to avail themselves of the powers
conferred by the law relating to friendly and benefit build-
ing societies.
" The executive committee refer its members with satis-
faction to the annexed gratifying return for the year just
ended the 30th of September, 1862.

" The last Share Number on the Register by Seniority,
is No. 13,634, and the last share issued up to the 30th of
September, 1862, was No. 18,685.
The Putney Heath Estate, and the first portion of the
Colchester Estate, were offered to the holders of rights of
choice, on the 16th of August last. The sale of land has been
quite satisfactory for the past quarter, as well as for the
year. Various improvements are being carried out, both
on the Roehampton and Putney Heath Estates, and the
Executive Committee, considering the great importance of
this property, and the large increase of population which
will result from the development of building operations,
have set apart a freehold site for the erection of a church,
in a most eligible situation.

" The annual report will contain details of the year's
allotments of the works on the estates iu various counties.
" The caution exercised in the land purchases, and the
prudence in making advances of money for building and
other purposes, have again secured for the Conservative
Land Society a prosperous progress, and the Executive com-
mittee have entered with confidence on the 11th year, satis-
fied that a like result will be produced by adherence to the
same principles in carrying on the society's business.
