Battersea estate, East Surrey. On the last mentioned
day, several eligible ground rents were offered to the
holders of rights of choice, besides two villas at Enfield
and two leased shops at Putney. The sale of land has
been attended with satisfactory results ; the amount
from the la-t balance sheet up to Saturday the sth of

The Executive Committee regret that owing to indis-
position they will lose the advantage of the assistance of
Robert Steven, Esq., a membtr of the board from the
♦ery commencement of the society, in the approaching
annual audit ; but they have the pleasure to state that
they have elected Newnham Winstanley, Esq , as the
successor of Mr. Steven, and that Benjamin L. Sowell,
Esq., of the Bank of England, has been re-elected. The
members at the present quarterly meeting have to elect
on their part two auditors to audit the eceounts of the
society for the current year ending the 29th inst.
One-third of the Executive Committee will retire by
rotation at the annual general meeting rif xt December,
the retiring members of the board, however, being eligible
for re-election.

The allottees are reminded that objections to their
votes at the ensuing Registration must ho duly for-
warded with the requisite deeds to the society's solici-
torP, who will support the claims of the members, flee
of expense. Holders of plots on the society's estates
should be careful in specifying the poliing district at
which they wish to vote.
The Executive Committee Congratulate the members
on the commencement of the sixth year of the society's
operations. There will be more than three weeks' re-
ceipts to complete the Michaelmas quarter, and the re-
turns already exceed those of Midsummer. The opera-
tions of the entire year have been prosperous, which will
be shown in the balance-sheet to be brought under the
notice of the shareholders at the as inual meeting next
December. The further extension and development of
the business of the society have been under the con.i•
deration of the committee for some time past, And they
have come to the conclusion that the time has
arrived when a more extended fish I can be entered
upon. The high rate of interest for money offers in-
ducements to make general building advances and loans
on approved security. The expediency of receiving
deposits and allowing thereon a fixed rate of interest
without any participation in the profits of the society,
with special arrangements for the prompt withdrawal of
sums so depositediby investors, has forced itself on the
attention of the committee. Without at all therefore
changing the present system of investment in shares
under the (listing rules, some slight modification in the
latter will enable the society to increase its sphere of
usefulness, still maintaining intact the sound commercial
principles which, combine i with economy end caution in
the management, have enabled the Conservative Land
Society to retain its high position, and entitled it to the
confidence of the public.
