The committee have to report that all the plots on the
Putney estate, No. 4, have been sold, and the contract for
the roads and works thereon is progressing, as also the
last road on the final portion of the Roehampton and Put-
ney-heath estate. Only a few plots remain of the two
last-mentioned properties ; and as increased railroad faci-
lities are in contemplation, there can be no doubt of the
development of building on land which adjoins Wimbledon-
common. The allotment of the New Ferry estate (Che-
shire), and the St. Austell estate (Cornwall), was com-
menced on the 30th of November. The roads on the first-
mentioned property, which is opposite Liverpool, with a
frontage to the Chester high road, close to a station and
ferry on the Mersey, and the works on the St. Austell
estate will be completed this spring. The Moorfields
estate, at Hereford, was allotted on the 21st of February,
after a publio meeting in the Shire-hall, at which Viscount
Ranelagh, Colonel Knox, -M.P., Colonel Meyrick, and Mr.
Winstanley attended as the deputation from the Board.
The sale of the land has been signally successful, and as
the roads and works will be commenced forthwith, build-
ing will be io progress this spring. In pursuance of a de-
sire expressed by some of the leading inhabitants of Here-
ford, the committee have given a free site for the erection
of a district church. The works on the Wood-green estate,
No. 2, will soon be completed. The contract having been
superintended by the Tottenham Board of Health the
authorities will take to the roads as soon as finished. The
drainage of the Plough-lane estate, Battersea, No. 2, having
been constructed by the Wandsworth Board of Works,
the roads will be finished within a short period. The con-
tract for the works on the Deal and Sandown estates are
all progressing. Building has been commenced on the
Victoria Town estate, Deal, the mayor and corporation
having attended the ceremonial of laying the first stone,
the event being regarded of great interest and importance
to the town, as the estate will open up new communica-
tions, and the cross streets from the Walmer-road will lead
to a fine sea frontage, near the new pier. The railway
through the Kentish Town estate will soon be completed.
There will be a station close to the society's land in York-
road. The South Coast Railway Company have purchased
a portion of the Round-hill estate, Brighton, for the new
lino over the viaduct at the entrance of the present station,
to Kemp-town, where there will be a terminus. This new
lino will tend to developo the society's Brighton estate,
new communications with which from the Lewes high
road have been recently opened. To the list of estates,
closed in the Society's books, all the plots being sold, must
be added the Seven Sisters estate, Tottenham, Bishop's
Stortford (Herts), and the Putney estate, No. 4. There
is a bill before Parliament for a railroad to pass through
this last property, and the projectors of the Company
have entered into an agreement to pay to the allottoos
for whatever land they may require at seventy-
five per cent. above the prices on the plan.
The Castle Church estate, Stafford—within a short distance
of the station and the centre of the town—will be allotted
at Stafford, on Wednesday, the 28th inst., after a public
meeting. The whole of the Sandown estate, Isle of Wight,
having been sold, the committee have purchased the ad-
joining piece of land, which is bounded by the Ryde and
Ventnor Railway. This highly eligible property will be
allotted in the spring. The executive committee have
much pleasure in reporting to the memberk that, subject to
the approval of the title, a very valuable suburban estate
has been acquired for the society, of such extent as to sup-
ply building sites for villas and houses adapted for all
classes of the community. This fine property, known as
Forest-house, is bounded on all sides by high roads leading
to Wanstead-common, Woodford, Epping Forest, &c., and
is close to the Forest-gate station, on the Great Eastern
line. There are twenty-two trains daily, to and from
Shoreditch station (which will be extended to the City),
at return tickets of is., 9d., and 7d., the time of the transit
being about a quarter of an hour. Forest-gate is within
five miles of London, in West Ham parish, South Essex.
The cash receipts and the sale of land for the half-year
are larger than at any former corresponding period, and
the society's business has so increased that the executive
committee have taken the house No. 11, Howard-street,
to add to the offices in Norfolk-street ; and when the al-
terations for joining the two houses are completed, there
will be greater facilities for the carrying on of the society's
operations.

diseases of the throat and chest, so prevalent in this
country, nothing so speedily relieves, or so certainly cures,
as these inestimable remedies. These diseases are too often
neglected at the commencement, or are in j udiciously treated,
resulting in either case in disastrous consequences. What-
ever the condition of the patient, Holloway's medicines will
restore, if recovery be possible. They will retard the
alarming symptoms till the blood is purified and nature
consummates the cure, gradually .restoring strength and
vital nervous power. By persevering in the use of Hollo-
way's preparations, tone is conferred on the stomach and
frame, generally the fluids are regenerated, morbific matter
is expelled, and a happy revolution occurs throughout the
system.
