THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.

MEETING Tins DAY.

The 15th annual meeting of the shareholders was held
this afternoon, at the offices in Norfolk-street, Strand,
Viscount Ranelagh presiding. The secretary, Mr. C. L.
Gruneisen, having read the advertisement convening the
meeting, the annexed report of 4he executive committee
was submitted :
_ _ _ _ _

It is the pleasing duty of the executive committee, in
submitting their Fifteenth Annual Report, to present for
the approval of the shareholders a highly satisfactory
statement of accounts and balance sheet, duly audited, for
the financial year, which closed on the 30th September,
1867. The annexed returns show the total cash receipts
for the respective quarters of 1866-7, and the grand totals
since the formation of the Conservative Land Society in

tion of plots on the society's estates, when offered for al-
lotment, stands as follows:--•

Deduct rights exercised on estates, &c,, 9,193

The last share number on the register of rights by se-
niority of membership is No. 18,968. The last share num-
ber issued to Michaelmas, 1867, was No. 27,783. The total
receipts for the two past years were far the largest since
the formation of the society. The increased receipts on
deposit have been to the extent of £15,807, whilst the de-
crease in withdrawals on the two accounts during the year
has been £9,073. The repayments on land show au in-
crease of .£7,088 ; and the permanent income from interest
has also increased £1,455. The amount added to the re-
serve fund has been £1,679165. id. The increased balances
on share and deposit accounts are £18,500 for the former,
and £16,531 for the latter. The increase of assets has kept
pace with the general progress ; the advances to the al-
lottees on land are £7,749 in excess of the previous year,
whilst the increase in the advances for building is £2,307.
The shareholders will learn with.gratification that the cost
of the extensive alterations in the offices, and the outlay
connected therewith, have not been left as a liability
to be paid off year by year, but the entire amount
expended has been at once written off. The reserve
fund, amounting to £13,00Q in 1865-6, having been in-
creased this year to £15,089 13s. 2d., the executive com-
mittee have been enabled, after deduction of the expendi-
ture on the premises, to leave the reserve fund at
£12,000. The directors can also indicate with satis-
faction to the members the insignificant item shown in the
balance-sheet, as a loss on the building advance account.
Another matter which, although not referred to in the ac-
counts, as one which must afford much gratification to the
holders of lands on the Society's estates, is the realisation
of premiums on plots which have been sold during the
past year. On the sales which have come under the im-
mediate notice of the committee, without reference to the
disposal of land out of the office by allottees, the profits
have been in some instances very large. The estates which
have thus particularly found favour with the general public
are St. Margaret's, Twickenham, and lsleworth, the
Brighton Round Hill Estate, the Wanstead, the Wood
Green, Nos. 1 and 2, the Putney and Fulham properties,
Old Ford, and Kentish Town, Seven Sisters, Finchley,
Reonsgate, &c. The four auditors appointed at the quarterly
meeting, on the 15th of Octob3r last, namely, Ur. Clemow
and Mr. Goad, elected by the shareholders, and Mr. Perse
Stace and Mr. Winstanley, nominated by the Board, met
on the 29th of October and subsequent days, and verified
the vouchers, books, and securities, and signed the
balance sheet. The executive committee are enabled,
after leaving the reserve fund at £12,000, to provide for
the interest of 5 per cent. per annum on shares (com-
pleted or paid a year in advance), and for the interest of
4 per cent. per annum on deposit investments. The
committee are also enabled to add to the accounts of mem-
bers holding uncompleted invested shares, not in arrear
(in respect of which no interest has been paid), a bonus
equivalent to 6 per cent, per annum ; and on shares paid
a year in advance and upwards, a bonus of 1 per cent. will
be added to the accounts in the pass-book. As regards
the additional interest of 1 per cent., to which the holders
of completed shares will be entitled by the present decla-
ration of bonus, the amount will be included in the half-
yearly Lady-day interest warrants, issued and payable on
and after the Ist of May next. Thus, every payment on
the shares on the register at the present annual
meeting, not being in arrear, will realise 6 per cent.
per annum for the financial year ending the 30th of
September, 1867. The rate of interest on shares (com-
pleted) and shares in progress (paid a year in ad-
vance) will remain for the present at 5 per cent.
per annum. The half-yearly warrants up to Lady-day
and Michaelmas will be issued at the customary periods,
namely, the Ist of May and the Ist of November. The
rate of interest for the deposit department, that is, for
investor who are not members of the society, will remain
unchanged at four per cent. per annum, payable half-
yearly, at the same period as the interest warrants on
shares. The ordinary quarterly meetings wore duly held
on the 9th of April, the 21 of July, and the 15th of
October. The following members of the executive com-
mittee retire by rotation, viz.: —Sir Lawrence Palk, Bart.,
M. P., the Hon. R. Bourke, Col. A. Meytick, Newnham
Winstanley, Esq , and being eligible, offer themselves for
re-election. The new estates allotted this year have been
—East London estate, Forest Gate, Ist portion, 13th
December, 1866 ; North London estate, Finchley, Ist por-
tion, 22d March, 1867 ; Malvern Link (West Worcester-
shire) Bth May, 1867 ; South London estate (Putney No. 5),
East Surrey, 28th June, 1867 ; East London (Forest Gate,
2d August, 1867. The Malvern Link estate was allotted
after a public meeting at which Viscount Ranelagh and
Colonel 3feyrick were present as a deputation from the
Board. This picturesque property is within a few minutes'
walk of a first-class station on the 'Worcester and Here:.
ford branch of the Great Western Railway. The society's
land has an extensive frontage to the Worcester and Mal-
vern turnpike-road, and is free from the heavy rates of
Great Malvernebeing without the boundaries in the parish
of Leigh. Building operations have commenced, and the
contract for the roads and works has been completed. The
South London estate (Putney No. 5) is situated opposite
the Cedars, Putney No. 1, on the banks of the Thames,
and adjoins the society's other estates at Putney.
The land communicates with the Upper Richmond-road
through the new road on the fourth Putney estate, called
Disraeli-road, and is within a few minutes' walk of
the High-street of Putney, the :railway station, and the
bridge. As the fourth Putney estate has been disposed of,
the adjoining property (Putney, No. 5) has been in de-
mand, and there has been a good &Ile thereon. The allot-
ments of the first and second portions of the Forest Gate
Estate (East London) have been very successful. In the
acquisition of this property, which, from its proximity to
the station, and to Wanstead Estate, presents every in-
ducement for the continuance of the building operations
already commenced, with houses in occupation, the com-
mittee were much influenced by the consideration of the
important question of the house accommodation for the
working classes. The diminution of houses from various
causes within the metropolis is yearly on the increase, and
the opening of new districts within an easy distance from
town is becoming imperatively necessary. The executive
committee in recent purchases have endeavoured to find
estates which, when allotted, would meet the requirements
of working men, and the experience of the society has.
proved that the really industrial classes prefer to buy a
plot, and build a house thereon, out of savings from the
exercise of their skill and labour, rather than be dependent
on any aid which assumes the aspect of public patro-
nage and of private charity. Land and building societies
afford freedom of action and perfect independence to the
workman desirous of possessing his own freehold dwelling-
house, and the commercial interest in such purchase is
keenly appreciated by him in preference to any philan-
thropical support. The extraordinary progress of build-
ing operations near the Round Hill Estate, Brighton, the
construction of the new line of rail into Kemp Town, and
the proximity of a new station close to the society's pro-
perty, have induced the committee to allot the unsold
portion on Thursday, the 12th of December, the plan of
which has been drawn, in accordance with the require-
ments of the locality. The directors have the pleasure to
announce to the shareholders that no time will be lost in
offering for allotment the first portion of the

Clapham Junction Estate, The fine front:TH. of tl is
property (known as Bolingbro're Park, with, mansion
and grounds) to Wandsworth-Common and. to Bat-
tersea Rise, the proximity of the estate to two stations,
and the increasing demand for house accommodation in the
southern district of the metropolis, afford every ..xpecta-
tion that the Clapham Junction will prove a most eligible
acquisition for the society's purpose. The execr ,ive com-
mittee having, du,ing fifteen years, provided the various
classes of the community with the opportunity of acquiring-
land to admit of the erection of first-class mansions, as well
as of cottage property, have commenced their sixteenth
year with as promising prospects as have heretofore at-
tended their now long-continued labours to promote the
prosperity of tho Conservative Land Society. Advantage
will be taken of every legitimate opportunity to extend
operations, which, however, will be dependent on the
exercise of caution and vigilance in the watching of com-
mercial changes and financial transitions. Assisted by the
friendly feeling so uniformly displayed by the share-
holders, the directors can look forward with confidence to
secure future success.

THE GALE.

NORTH SHIELDS, Monday Morning.

The most terrific gale that has been experienced
here for a very long period burst upon the north-
east coast with great suddenness yesterday after-
noon. The morning had been foggy, which was
succeeded by heavy rains at noon, the wind blow-
ing a smart breeze from the S.W. About 3 o'clock
in the afternoon the wind suddenly chopped round
to the N.N.E., and came on to blow in heavy squalls
The gale increased in violence after dark, and be-
tween 7 and 8 o'clock the weather was awful. The
night was extremely dark, and the gale, which
came howling up from the northward, was accom-
panied by showers of sleet and hail. The storm
continued until about 10 o'clock, when it lulled a
little, but the weather has been very wild ali night.
There had been a very large arrival of vessels dur.
ing the day, and just before dusk a fleet of about 30
Scotch fishing boats, which were returning from
the herring fishery at Yarmouth, sought the shelter
of the Tyne. On Saturday morning a very consi-
derable fleet of light vessels had left Yarmouth roads
and the Norfolk coast, and as they would be in our
immediate neighbourhood when the gale came on
great anxiety prevails with regard to their safety.
In fact, from the extreme violence of the blast,
there is every reason to fear that some serious
shipping disasters must have occurred. A collier
which went ashore at Whitburn in the fog
yesterday morning will probably break up in
the sea that is running. The Eureka, which
arrived here yesterday, saw a steamship run down
and sink a light collier brig off Robin Hood's Bay
on Saturday, and there is some fear that the crew
is lost. The Pilot, steamer, from Leith for London
has also run into and done extensive damage to a
brig bound for Scotland, but the latter was helped
into the Tyne yesterday in a crippled state.

Noon.

The frost is very intense, and there is every ap-
pearance of a great deal more snow. The sea on this
coast is the highest we have had this winter, and
though the wind has got round a little more to the
westward, it appears to be blowing a gale from the
N.E. at sea. No vessels have arrived in the Tyne
since yesterday, and none can be seen approaching
the harbour. Great anxiety prevails at Shields with
regard to a large American vessel, named the
Arabian, bound from Bremen to the Tyne. She
was off this harbour last Tuesday, and was boarded
by a shipping agent and a pilot named Jas. Young.
She was taken in Ow by two tugs, but the weather
being stormy their ropes broke, and she was allowed
to drift away to sea. Nothing has since been heard
of-her, or of the two Tyne men who got on board
of her, The Life Brigade and the lifeboat men
were out all last night, but the gale was so violent
that the South Shields men had great difficulty in
keeping their footing on the pier.
YARMOUTH, Monday.

At Yarmouth the barometer fell two inches and
a half between Saturday morning and Sunday night,
when it registered 28.7. A violent gale followed,
the wind flying from S.W. to N.W., with furious
snow squalls. The highest tide which has
been known here for many years occurred
at noon. The marine drive and the lower
parts of the town are flooded. South-town is three
feet under water and all traffic on the road is inter-
cepted, communication being effected by boats only.
Last night the storm showed no signs of abatement.
There was great destruction of property. The Great
Eastern Railway has been washed away near
Lowestoft by the flood.

KESSINGLAND, SUFFOLK, Sunday.

In a strong wind from the S.W. yesterday morn-
ing (writes Mr. Atkins, the officer of Coastguard)
the brigantine Naomi, of Seaton, ran on the Bar-
nard Sands. The Grace and Sally lifeboat, which
belongs to the National Lifeboat Institution, and
which has just been placed here, was launched to her
assistance, and when the flood tide made the vessel
got off, and there being a heavy sea on the lifeboat
accompanied her to Lowestoft.
KINGSDOWN, KENT, Sunday.

Last night during the heavy storm of wind and
rain, and in the almost impenetrable darkness, the
South Sand Head lightship fired guns and exhibited
rockets, and soon after tar barrels on fire were seen
on the Goodwin Sands (says Mr. T. S. Clarke).
Immediately afterwards the Sabrina lifeboat was
launched, and after some little difficulty, owing to
the heavy surf, was got off, and sailed to the spot
where the light appeared to burn ; but when she
reached the sands no trace of a vessel could be found,
and the darkness, together with the heavy showers,
prevented their being able to make out anything or
to make much of a search, especially as the sea was
breaking tremendously over the sands. After trying
various tacks and not finding any vessel the lifeboat
was obliged to run for Ramsgate harbour, as the
wind prevented her returning to Kingsdown. It was
an awful night, and the lifeboat men did their work
nobly. The Walmer boat also went out, but could
find no trace of the vessel on the sands.

LITTLESTONE, KENT, Sunday.
Late last night, during fearfully rough weather,
when it was very dark (states Mr. H. Stringer), in-
telligence was received here that the Dover Trinity
pilot cutter No. 4, was on shore about six miles to
leeward of thislifeboat station. The Providence life-
boat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion, was launched as soon as possible, and proceeded
to her assistance. After a long pull the lifeboat
reached the spot, and found that the crew, with
the exception of one man, had managed to reach
the shore in their own boat. One poor fellow,
however, in attempting to get into the boat fell
between it and the cutter and was drowned.
The vessel is now rapidly knocking to pieces. An
English brig, laden with a general cargo, is also on
shore near No. 1 Battery, Dungeness, and if the
gale continues she must soon go to pieces. 'rho
crew are fortunately all saved.
WHITSTABLE, Monday, 6 p.m.

During the early part of Monday a terrific hurri-
cane swept the coast, and, fortunately, before it had
attained its height, measures were promptly taken
to remove the numerous craft lying along the coast
into the harbour. This step, of course, soon filled
the harbour, and, as the gale increased, vessels were
drifted from their moorings and were steered to the
same haven. The first of these was a brig bearing
the name of her owner, Frederick Fairbrass, and so
uncontrollable was this vessel that her entrance into
the harbour was the cause of very serious damage
to other vessels previously berthed there. One craft
after the other was run against and damaged to a
most serious extent, and at least ten, some laden
and others outward bound, have been
.greatly
knocked about. The Mary, 250 tons, owned by
Mr. Rigden, and laden with coals, sunk just outside
the harbour in the endeavours that were made to
get her in, and this created greater difficulty than
previously existed. Communications were received
at Canterbury early in the day of the sad disaster,
alAcl_tii9 Mayor of that city, together with many
