The executive committee have the pleasure to re-
port the sale of all the highest priced plots on the
Roman-road estate, North Bow, offered through the
register of rights on the 18th of last January, leav-
ing only lots at £36 1 ls. 6d. each (including con-
veyance) for disposal, some of which have been subse-
quently sold. The remainder will be in demand
when the New Usher and Armagh Roads (the con-
tinuation of the first Old Ford estate) are made. As
soon as the approval of the surveyor's plan and
specifications be obtained from the local board,
tenders will be advertised for. In the meanwhile,
building has already commenced on the estate, and
plots in the Roman-road (which will be widened for
the public accommodation) have been resold by the
purchasers since allotment at a premium. At the
public meeting held by the society at Old Ford on
the 10th of January, the attention of the deputa-
tion from the executive committee was called to
the question of securing additional railway accom-
modation for the increasing population of North
Bow, Old Ford, &c.; and at a subsequent meeting
on the 9th of February, of the North Bow Improve-•
ment Association, two members of the board
attended, and were added to the local committee, to
memorialise the Eastern Counties Railway Com-
pany for a new station at or near Addington-road,
Bow. If not successful, it may be expedient to
apply to the North London Company. The Roe-
hampton Park estate has now passed into the pos-
session of the society, and the executive committee
have the satisfaction to state that sales have already
been effected of portions of the Putney Heath
frontage, which will secure forthwith the erection
of first-class villas. No adequate offers have
as yet been made for the mansion and pleasure-
grounds, with the addition of as much park-land
as a purchaser may desire. Independently of its
undeniable attractions as a residence for any noble-
man or gentleman desirous of being within half an
hour's drive from the west end, and one hour from
the City, combining therefore the double advantage
of a town and country residence, the Roehampton
Park mansion and land might be easily turned to
account for various public purposes and institutions.
The executive committee will deal with this pro-
perty as with the St. Margaret's estate, waiting a
reasonable period for an offer for the mansion, and
the whole or portion of the land ; and if not disposed
of, it will be entirely converted into plots for build-
ing, which will be allotted in due. course. In the
meanwhile the sale of the land, the furthest re-
moved from the mansion, will be continued at the
offices of the society, is plots of one acre and up-
wards, at prices ranging from £320 to £640 per
acre. The Southwark and Vauxhall Water Com

pany have promised to carry on the pipes now laid
on the roads of the estate fronting Putney Heath
to any villas and houses that may be erected. The
Conservative Land Society has acquired its fortieth
estate, being its first purchase in Oxfordshire. The
land is situated close to the cricket ground at Oxford,
Iffiey Road, within a mile of the city, on the Henley
and London road, and forms the extreme south-east

point of the New Cowley district, within the juris-
diction of the new local government act. The estate
is well adapted for villas and houses, being the highest
land in the whole district of the valley of the Thames.
Borlabe Hill Adams, Esq., has resigned his place at
the board, being unable to continue his valuable
services, for which the thanks of the executive
committee have been given. It has not been neces-
sary to fill up the vacancy, as the present number
of members of the board is in conformity with the
rules. A committee of allottees on the St. Mar-
garet's estate having entered into negotiations with
the Office of the Woods and Forests to purchase
the ferry at Isleworth, the moment has been consi-
dered opportune by the board to convene an evening
meeting at Richmond on the 29th inst., and ask for
the co-operation of the inhabitants, and those of
Twickenham, Isleworth, St. Margaret's, &c., to
raise the necessary funds to erect a foot-bridge as
an appendage to the railway-bridge across the
Thames at Richmond. The executive committee
trust that a work of such general utility will meet
with every support from the localities interested in
its success, both on the Surrey and Middlesex sides
of the Thames. Before the next quarterly meeting
the board entertain the expectation to offer through
the Register of Rights some eligible in vestments in
ground-rents and houses, as well as in building
land.

Mrs. Ralph Dutton. 3 vols.—The easy style, neat expres-
sion, and delicate handling of a difficult subject, which
abound in every page of this novel, make it a most acceptable
addition to modern fictitious literature. Intelligence
wades every chapter. The Hon. Mrs. Dutton has, wepr-
be-
lieve, been known for some time past amongst a private
circle of friends and admirers as a lady of considerable lite-
rary taste and acquirement. Her appearance before the
world of letters will undoubtedly extend that appreciation,
and render her one of the most popular female novelists of
the day.—Messenger.
Premature Greyness, Weak or Falling Hair, Neuralgia,
Nervous Headache, Rheumatism, Stiff Joints, &c., are reme_
died with ease and certainty by HERRING'S Patent Magnetic
Brushes and Combs. Their use is an absolute luxury. His
newly-invented Teazle Brushes for Colth, Velvet, &c,. are
admirable—they not only cleanse, but preserve the fabric in
a remarkable manner. The Manufactory is 32, Basinghall-
et. The public are cautioned against counterfeits.—ADvT.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Mr. Benson, Ludgate-hill, has just
published anew illustrated pamphlet on watches (free by post
for two stamps). It should be read by all who are about
buying a watch, as it contains prices and important informa-
tion as to—What watch to buy 1 where to buy it I and how to
!Se itf

[ADVERTIBEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Inflammations of sensitive parts, piles, fistulas, and such
like painful diseases may, without consulting any one, be
presently relieved and ultimately cured by the proper and
diligetit use of this cooling and healing ointment, whose
action should in such cases be assisted by judicious doses
of Holloway's Pills. Ero many days have elaps©d the
anxious patient will experience a wonderful degree of ease
from this treatment. Doubts and fears will soon disap-
pear; and the sufferer will bless the day on which he first
applied these remedies. They are equally suitable to both
sexes, all ages, and any climate; nor is their efficiency im-
paired by long keeping.
