The nineteenth quarterly general meeting of the
members of this society was held this day, at the offices,
No. 33, Norfelk street, Strand, Lord Ranelagh in the
chair. The following report was unanimously adopted :
• The executive committee have the pleasure to report
'that the exp.rirnent on the 21 of April !mit, of offering
to the holder of rights of choice the opportunity to select
houses leased and occupied, was attended with comple'e
success—the three villa residences on the'St. Margaret's
estate not only having been chosen with, early Rights of
Choice, but considerable premiums were paid to secure
these f xeellent investments. Before the end of the
financial year, the committee hope to, be enabled to sub-
mit for sale other villas now in course of erection on the
Enfield estate, within a couple of minutes' walk from
the station.
After a public meeting on the 25th of March, the
Taunton estate was allotted on the 2nd of April. About
one-third has been already sokl ; and the tenders for the
roads and drains having been called for, it is expected
the remainder of the plats will find ready purchasers.
The contract for the Kentish-town roads and drains
will be carried out without delay, and will facilitate the
sale of the remaining plots on this valuable property.
The' next allotment of estates i-, fixed for Thursday the
13th of June ; and on that day the Maidstone estate in
West Kent, and the Redhill estate in Nut field, close to
the Reigate and Redhill Station, in E ist Surrey, will he
offered for sale. Now that two railroads are open to
Maidstone—the distance by the North Kent line being
reduced to forty-three miles—an increased demand is I
expected for house accommodation. Tne property,
being situated within so short a distance from the centre
of the town and the railroad station, and the land being
also of good elevation, commanding fine views of the
Medway, ia admirably adapted for building purposes.
The C, mnittee have set apart a free site for a church,
svhicii is much wanted, in the neighbourhood of the
Rochester and Quarry roads, and have much pleasure
in adding that a handsome donation has already been
subscribed by a gentleman in Maidstone, to secure the
speedy erection of the church.

The Redhill estate is in the parish of Nutfi 11, and is
about 21 miles from London, within a few minutes' walk
of the Reigate Station, on the Dover and Brighton lines.
The picturesque character of the scenery round Redhill
is well known, and the estate to be "offered will give first-
rate building frontages. The Committee have been en-
abled to offer plots of about half an acre. each in this
rising neighbourhood.
The erection of the new church on the Woodbury Park
estate, Tunbridge Wells, on the site given by the Con-,
servative Laud Society, has been commenced. Nego-
ciations have been in progress respecting the building of
churches on the Reading, Forest H.ll, and St. Margaret's-
estates ; but the Executive Committee are not yet in a
position to report that any arrangement has been con.
eluded for either of the above-mentioned localities.

The river embankment of the St. Margaret's-terrace is
now completed, and a noble carriage drive as well as a
promenade have been secured on the banks of the Tha•nes,
extending from. the Royal Naval Female School up to
the railroad bridge. Tne questions of a foot-bridge and
a station still occupy the earnest attention of the Com-
mittee.

A recent inspection of the allotted estates has proved
that those plots which are fenced in and looked after by
the allottees 'stand the speediest chance of being let for
ground-rents. Another advantage arising from the land
being enclosed is, that the members can derive a good re-
turn until building operations be commenced.
L )rd Alfred Churchill having retired, the executive
committee have had the pleasure of electing Lieut.-
Colonel Augustus Meyrick a member of the board under
rule 32, late 33. Viscount Pevensey, M.P , the Hon.
_ _

Ralph Dutton, M.P., W. B. Beach, Esq., M.P., E. M.
Archdall, Esq., M.P., and Montague D. Scott, Esq.,
have been addd to the list of patrons and general com-
mittee.

The returns of the business of the March quarter were
only brought up to the seventh of that month in the last
report.. The figures now stand thus :—Shares in pro-
gress to June 6, ] 857, 11,180 ; shares completed ; 2,163;
total shares, 13,343 ; receipt., 295,5081 93. 101
Total withdrawals from the formation of the society
in September, 1852, to June 6, 1857. 44,5891. 16s. Bd. ;
total sale of land, from September, 1852, to June, 1857,
285,375/. 144. 2d.

The returns of the Register of Order of Rights are as
follows :—Completed, "2,422 ; drawn, 2,677 ; seniority,
1,381 ; total, 6,480. Deduct rights exercised on estates,
building advances, itc., 3,854. Unexercised rights,
2,626.

The last share on the Register of Rights by Seniority,
a'ter the drawing of the 9th inst., will be about No.
6,217, and the last share taken up to the 6th inst. was
No. 13,a43.
The,EXecutire Committee had occasion in their last
report, after the contests in East Sussex and West Kent

bad taken place, to record the_good faith with which
nearly all the allotteea who acquired the freehold fran•

chisein those counties through the instrumentality of
the society, had voted in favour of the Conservative can-

dilated. Since the two struggles referred to, a general
election has taken pace, the Fourth Parliament of
Queen Victoria having been dissolved on the 20th of

March, 1857, and the committee have again the satis-
faction of reporting to the members, that the returns

of tho polling have been exceedingly gratifying, and
had the general body of Conservatives acted with the
same consistency and fidelity as the allottees of the
society, some of the counties might have been saved to
the cause. The committee were well aware that in

a society, the commercial advantages of which
have been so eagerly sought after by all. classes of the

community, investors of—various shades of political opi-
nion would be found, many of whom, it may be stated,
honourably abstained from voting, but so far as regards
the members placed on the register by the society, the
proportion of Conservative voters is at least ninety per
cent.

The Registration Courts will be soon re-opened, and

will be for the allottees, who have not yet o'otained

he franchise, to forward to the Society's solicitors on or

before the 2011 of July, the requisite deeds, in order that
the claims which are supported free of expense to the
members, made be duly made and sustained. It is also
important that the holders of plots on estates should
give special instructions to name the polling district
at which they desire to vote, inasmuch as freeholders
in distant parts of the country have the privilege,
_ _

under the Registration Act (6 Vict, c. 18, a. 36), to vote
in any polling place in the county, although their qualifi-

cation may be in a different district—the claim being made
in due course before the revising barrister, who will in-
sert the name of such claimant for the polling place he
may specify.
Persons desirous of qualifying for counties can do so
on the society's estates, the plans and particulars of
which may be obtained on application at the offices.
The Executive Committee, in conclusion, congratulate
the members on the continued success of the society's
operations.

New Five per Cent. Loan was- fikewiSe a satisfactory
feature.
