VAN DIEMEN'S LAND COMPANY.

A Special General Meeting of the proprietors of
shares in the Van Dieman's Land Agricultural
Association was held, yesterday, at the Company's
House in Old Broad-street, for the election of two
Directors, and on important matters relative to the
affairs of the establishment.

The Governor, JOHN PEARSE, Esq., in the Chair.
The GOVERNOR stated that, in consequence of
the misfortunes that had attended their Managing
Director (Mr. Bischoff), the failure of whose firm
had recently caused so much regret in the commer-
cial world, that gentleman had resigned his qualifi-
cation of a director. The other vacancy was occa-
sioned by the death of Mr. Jacob. The directors
had resolved to secure the services of Mr. Bischoff
in the character of managing Secretary, and he could
not help adverting to a fact relative to the failure
of that gentleman. At a meeting of the creditors,
they were so satisfied with the accounts exhibited
ti,at they had unanimously given over to the firm
the full arrangement of the concern without any
condition, in order that the affairs might be wound
op. He (the Governor) need ray no more in favour
of the proposition that Mr. Bischoff should be se-
lected to manage their affairs—that gentleman hay-
zealoasly attended to their concerns as Managing
Director.

Mr. H. C. ROBINSON and others eulogised the
honourable conduct of Mr. Bischoff as a commercial
man, and a resolution was unanimously adopted for
cfmtinuing Mr. Bischoff as managing Secretary, on
terms honourable to him, and advantageous to the
Company.
The CHAIRMAN then stated that the Cotnpaiiy's
managing Agent in Van Diemen's Land had arrived
in this country, and had given very valuable, inform•
ation relative to the Company's lands and prospects
in the colony. The Report of the Directors would
he read.

Mr. EwENs, cleik to the Company, read the re-
port. It stated that the loss of sheep on the Surrey-
hills, owing to the climate and the ravages of hyvrias
and wild dogs, had been so great, that Mr. Carr
!tad arrived at the conclusion that for the pre-
sent the extension of the flocks there should be
discontinued—that the cultivation of breeds of
cattle, horses, &c., should be extended, the land pre-
pared for tenants, Bm—that the breeding of cattle
on the Surrey-hills would enrich the pastures, and
make it more fir ultimately to receive sheep—that
in 1836 the proceeds would cover the expenses, and
that a call of 11. per share would, the Directors
thought, be all that would be required. The
Company's flocks were 4,791 in number, and,
though they had decreased on the Surrey-hills, they
had increased at Circular Head and Woolnorth. It
was proposed to reduce expenditure at home, to
encourage tillage in the colony, but not to lose sight
of the object contemplated in the original formation
of the Company—the breeding of sheep, and the
production of wool.
_ .

Several Proprietors addressed the meeting, and
urged the necessity of making the production of
wool the main object of the Company, as profit
could be expected from that 50e....7n7-,Only; -firht
mand which ed now for wools the produce of
the *onY, ,rtd the advanced prices they obtained,
ought to be In inducement to the Company to make
wools their clief produce.
• Mr. CARRY in reply to various questions, entered
into a long detail, stating the peculiar advantages of
the Company'. land for rearing sheep. I-le ex-
pressed a decidedly favourable opinion as regarded
Circular Heal and \Voolnorth, but was convinced
the Surrey-hilt: were unfavourable for sheep at pre-
! sent. By rearing black cattle, extending tillage, and
preparing the land for tenants and breeding sheep
where it was prove] they would thrive, the Com-
pany would, he had full confidence, soon be advan-
tageous to the co!osy and the proprietors
Mr. JACOB and Mr. TARSI] felt disappointment
