The Directors call special attention to the class of estates that are
purchased for allotment amongst the members of this society. The
one at Wool-green (now almost allotte.l) is acknowledged to be one
of the most eligible for building purposes yet d:stributed by any Land
Society; and a further purchase in Wimbledon-park has just been
effected, fully equal, if not superior, to the one at Wood-green, ad-
mirably adapted for flrst class villas.

There is now an opportunity, ether by paying up Shares, or taking
them, to get Ballot-rights of acquiring plots on this highly eligible
and profitable estate.
Ballots take place Monthly.

CURE of an Old WINTER COUGH.—To the
Proprietors of )PENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIII.—Sirs,—
I have been afflicted with a severe cough for seven years and up-
wards, during which time I have tried everything that I could hear
or think of without any good effect, until 1 accidentally heard of
Spencer's Elixir. Before I had taken one small bottle my cough was
completely removed. I keep it by me, and when I take a fresh cold,
one teaspoonful of Spencer's invaluable Elixir gives me instant re-
lief, for which [am very grateful. If this will be any service to the
public. you are at liberty to make what use you think proper of it.
—Yours truly, BENJAMIN BARRATT, William-street, Blackfriars-
road, London.—Prepared only by T. Roberts and Co., Crane-court,
Fleet-street, London ;,and sold by E. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's-church-
yard ; Barclay and Sons, Farringdon-street ; Sutton and Co., Bow-
churchyard; Sanger, and Hannay and Co., Oxford-street, London;
and by all respectable median venders in the kingdom. In bottles,
at Is. 11,,',d and 2s. Od. each. Be sure to ask for " SpencerS'a PUI-
- Elixir," the best Cough Medicine in the world.

BLASTING OF CLIFF AT DOVER.—It is calculated that
nearly 200,000 tons of chalk will be removed from the
overhanging summit of the cliff beyond Athol-terrace,
which is shortly to be blasted. The MASS of rock has for a
long time exhibited a very threatening appearance ; and
last season, at the termination of the frosts, the inhabit-
ants of the locality were very naturally alarmed at a fall
of some hundred tons. This has led the owners of the pro-
perty in the neighbourhood to devise means to obviate the
recurrence of such an accident, and the process of blast-
ing appears the most favourable, if not the only practical
measure that can be adopted. The excavation, which is
still going on, is to extend to a distance of sixty five feet
within the solid body of the cliff, and to consist of three
cavities, each of which will be charged with
