The CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY is entitled to sup-

ing, as it does, to every class and in every station of life,
facilities to acquire the franchise in any county, and affording
means to the frugal and industrious to render themselves in-
dependent, by securing Property and Independence. It is a
scheme which entails the exercise of prudence and economy
on the persons who make investments therein—females and
minors equally sharing in its financial advantages. To the
wealthy man, the prompt acquirement of a vote in any county
lie may desire is readily insured ; and he will also be entitled
to participate in the profits arising from the sale of acquired
rights. The Society involves not the slightest personal
responsibility, and its benefits and advantages are fairly dis-
tributed among all classes of the Members. Pecuniary as well
as electoral considerations, consequently, point out the Con-
servative Land Society as peculiarly calculated to accomplish
results of vital importance to the community, either as a
profitable investment, or as an easy and speedy mode of
acquiring the franchise.

rp HE importance of this Line cannot be overrated.
11 It will not only join together by Railway the great cities
of Frankfort, Wiesbaden, Mayence, and Cologne, but will com-
plete the long required connexion between the Lines of
Austria and the South Germanic States culminating at Frank-
fort, and the Lines of Prussia, Belgium, and Holland, and the
Great Northern of France, with the traffic from England, cen-
tering at Cologne. It will also necessarily complete a speedy
and advantageous transit for the Indian Mails through the
German States.

Amongst the numerous advantages this Railway will embrace,
treating Frankfort and Cologne (Deutz) as its two great ter-
mini, are the following :

Ist.—The entire traffic from England and Belgium passing
to Frankfort and South Germany and to Austria, ries
Ostend or Calais and Cologne, and the return traffic,
must use the proposed Line.
2nd.—All the traffic to or from Frankfort by the Great
Northern Railway of France, via Cologne, will use the
Line.
3rd.—The traffic to Minden and Hanover, and the North
of Holland, via the Paris and Strasburg Line, will pass
by. the route of Metz, Sarrebruck, Ludwigshafen, and
hlayence, across to Wiesbaden, or by the Railway on the
right bank of the Upper Rhine through Frankfort to
Wiesbaden, and thence proceed by the proposed Line to
its destination.
4th.—The proposed new Railway will be connected with
the Rotterdam and Antwerp Line, through Antwerp to
Cologne, and with all the Dutch interior Lines, about to
be placed in communication with the Minden and Co-
logne Railway at Oberhausen.
sth.—lt will also be connected with the Duchy of Badeti
Line. from Frankfort to 'Mannheim, Baden, Carlsruhe,
and Basle; with the Nekar Line, from Frankfort to the
Lake of Constance, through Ulm, Stutdgardt, and Hei-
delberg; and with the Frankfort Line, in course of con-
struction, to Bamberg and Nuremberg.
6th,—Finally, all traffic passing over the Line from Cologne
to Wiesbaden, and thence reaching Frankfort, can pass
by the Saxony route from Frankfort, through Marbourg,
Cassel, Erfurth, Dresden, and Prague, to Vienna,
Trieste, and Hungary; and also by Eisenach and Leipsic
to Berlin, whence there are branches or extensions to
Hamburg, Kiel, Lubeck, Rostock, Stettin, Dantzig,
Posen, Cracow, and Warsaw.

This extended enumeration indicates the vast commercial
conveniences and financial results which must attend the
Frankfort, Wiesbaden, and Cologne Railway. Hitherto the
important link of Railway from Cologne to Wiesbaden has not
been constructed, because the Rhine navigation with Steamers
has been considered sufficient. But the necessity of a Railway
communication has now become obvious; it can no longer be
deferred • and the Government of the Duchy of Nassau has
granted the requisite concession for the Line from Wiesbaden
along the right bank of the Rhine, to Horchheim, nearly op-
posite Coblentz ; and a concession from Prussia has been
applied for to continue the Railway to the Cologne and Minden
Station at Deutz. Every effort will be made to obtain
from those Governments advantages to the Shareholders
in order to encourage the undertaking. The Rhine,
on the average, is closed one-third of the year from
fogs, ice, &c.; and it will be easy to go from Cologne
to Wiesbaden and Frankfort by Railway in four hours
and a half, while the fastest Steamers on the rivers
Rhine and Maine are eight to ten hours on their journey down-
wards, and are fourteen hours, and sometimes two days, going
up the Rhine against the stream. The Line from Wiesbaden
to Horchheim will be first constructed, and worked in con-
nexion with quick Steamers on the Rhine • to be followed by
the extension to Deutz when the concession 'has been obtained.
The Railway can be constructed with great facility on the
right bank of the Rhine with very few heavy works, and will
command all the beautiful views on the Rhine, to which tra-
vellers will more than ever be attracted. The pleasure and
business traffic on and near either bank of that magnificent
and unequalled river will be promoted and increased in an ex-
traordinary degree. The Railway must become the greatest,
and by far the most beautiful, high-road in Europe. Each
portion of Railway, as constructed from town to town, com-
mencing at Wiesbaden, can be at once opened for traffic run-
ning in connexion with Me Taunus Railway from Frankfort,
and thus become productive of revenue.

The mineral waters of Wiesbaden, Ems, Schwalbach, Schlan-
genbach, Soda, Fachingen, and Selters annually attract to the
Duchy of Nassau foreigners and visitors of distinction, to a far
greater extent than the mineral waters of other countries ; and
the construction of this Railway must increase their numbers,
and render their journeys more frequent. In fact, it may be
fairly said that this part of Germany is, during a certain por-
tion of the year, a rendezvous for the whole of Europe.
The Branch Line,
i through Limburg to Giessen, before-
mentioned, will, it s considered, be a most productive one,
passing, as it will, through a country rich in Minerals, which
have hitherto been very. imperfectly worked, owing to the want
of a Railway Communication with the Rhine, and with the
Trunk Railways of Germany. This Branch will furnish that
communication, and become an important feeder to the Main
Line from Wiesbaden to Cologne.
The great traffic of the district is by the River Rhine. The
statistics of that traffic are most carefully collected and re-
corded by Commissioners appointed by the several govern-
ments interested in the navigation. Annually the Commission
prints a Report of the entire traffic in the year, giving the same
with minute details. The Report of 1850 has been obtained,
and by careful examination the following facts are established:
Ist. That the Passengers by the Rhine Steamers, amounted
in 1850 to 919,193 in number between Cologne and Mayence,
the parallel distance of the termini of the proposed Cologne
and Wiesbaden Railway.

2nd. That the movement of goods from Cologne, or passing
Cologne to or past Mayence up the Rhine was, in that year,
about 461,136 tons; the movement of goods in the same year
down the Rhine, from Itayence to Cologne, or past it, was
about 331,185 tons. It appears by authentic records for 1852,
not yet printed, that the down goods traffic had increased
about twenty-five per cent to }12,301 tons; and the up goods
traffic in a much larger proportion.
The whole traffic of 1850 has been carefully analysed, and
having reference to the Railways now constructing, and which
will he opened as soon or sooner than the Line of this Com-
pany from Wiesbaden to Cologne, especially the Railway from
Oberhausen to Lobithe and Rotterdam, it has been carefully
ascertained what will be the probable annual traffic on the
Wiesbaden and Cologne line. A document of great length
and going into details on this subject has been printed, and
may be obtained at the Company's Office, where may also be
inspected the official records and publications from which the
data for the estimates have been derived; and from this
document it will be seen that, while a vast traffic will still be
left upon the Rhine, annually augmenting, the proposed Line
of Railway by the right bank• of the river from Wiesbaden to
Cologne must produce at least from

WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY.
THE rapidly-increasing sale of this invaluable
MEDICINE is a convincing proof of its efficacy. The
proprietor can confidently recommend it in all cases of Coughs,
Sore Throats, Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the
Chest and Lungs, as well as for the relief and ultimate cure of
long-standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resist-
ance to the roost approved remedies. Being entirely free from
all noxious ingredients, and beneficial to the system generall:l
it may be taken by persons of all aces with perfect safety ; for
whilst powerful to beat and give relief to the chest and throat,
and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and
purify the blood.
The Proprietor has pleasure in submitting the following most
satisfactory testimonials selected from a great many
" Chatham, April IStli, 1850.
" Dear Sir,—Mrs. Chiseman, of Garden-street, Brompton,
has been cured of a cough of four years' standing by taking
one box of your Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing
her gratitude, in order that others similarly afflicted may ob-
tain the same benefit. Please send me three dozen of the
large boxes for her brother to take out to the Mauritius with
him next week. I can also add my testimony that, from the
many cases I have seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded
it stands unrivalled as a general couch medicine.—Yours truly,
"To Mr. Woolley." " HENRY WATTS, Chemist, Chatham.

sister of mine of Asthma of tell years' duration, by your Pec-
toral Candy.—l am, yours truly,

" 1, Kirbey-street, Poplar, London, Sept. 30th, 1851.
" Dear Sir,—l cannot speak too highly of the excellency of
Woolley's Pectoral Candy.' I have suffered for years with a
dreadful cough and difficulty of breathing. In this distressing
state I was recommended to try Woolley's Pt ctural Candy,
the first box of which gave me great relief ; the second box
completely cured me. I have recommended them to many of
any friends who were similarly afflicted, who have all received
the greatest relief from them.—l am, sir, yours obliged,

" Maidstone, August ith, 1852.
" Dear Sir,—l have much pleasure of informing you of the
benefit I have received from Woolley's Pectoral Candy. I have
for many years suffered from Cough and Asthma, and I think
I have tried nearly everything, such as Keating's Cough Lozen-
ges. Locock's Wafers, &c. &c. I have also consulted many
eminent medical men. Until I fortunately got a box of your

Sir,—l write to inform you of the great benefit I liave re-
ceived from taking Locock's Wa ers, which you recommended
to me. I was so much oppressed at my chest that when I lay
down a coughing lit came on with such violence that I have
often thought I should not live to see the morning; but now I
can sleep a whole night without coughing, after having taken
only two boxes of wafers. J. HAYNES.

ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH

Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road,
Liverpool.
Gentlemen,--I have great pleasure in communicating to you
a case (among many) which came under my own observation.
A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance upon
her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and
not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She
was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of
consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not
obtain any relief ; when, upon the recommendation of a friend,
she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commenc--
ment, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly
cured. (Signed) THOMAS DEAN.
ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS.
Parliament-street, Liverpool.
Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extra-
ordinary power of Locock's Wafers. I had been troubled with
a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief,
when I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of
which were soon visible, for one large box (2s. Pd.) has quite
cured me. I have sit,ce recommended them to several of my
friends, and they have also experienced the greatest relief from
them.—l remain yours, ever grateful, J. WILLIAMS.

IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING.
From 31r. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist

of .st. Peter's Catholic Church, Leamington.
Gentlemen,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxa-
tion of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various
preparations ; but since 1 have had the good fortune to try Dr.
Locock's Puimonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to
resort to them, for the extraordinary good effects they have
produced are most surprising. Even when the throat appears
to be completely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone,
two or three (at most four) will, in the short space of half an
hour or so, completely restore its flexibility and power, and
they do not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do
they leave any lassitude after. Having felt the great value of
the remedy, I feel it a duty to generally recommend it, as I am
convinced that all persons will find immense benefit from the
general and persevering use of it. EDWARD PAGE.
To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as
in a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the
power and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste.

DISORDERED STOMACH, INDIGESTION AND DETER-

opy of a Letter front Mr. John Lloyd, of Eric-wen, near
Harlech, Merionethshire, dated Pith June, 1852.
To Professor Holloway,—Sir,—For a very long period I was
afflicted with a dangerous giddiness and frequent swiminings
in the head, attended by loss of appetite, disordered stomach,
and generally impaired health. Every means had failed to give
me any permanent relief, and at length it became so alarming
that I was really afraid of going about without an attendant.
In this melancholy condition I waited personally upon Mr.
Hughes, Chemist, Harlech, for the purpose of consulting him
as to what I had better do ; he kindly recommended your
Pills, I tried them without delay, and after taking them for a
short time I am happy to bear testimony to their wonderful
efficacy. lam now restored to perfect health, and enabled to

MIRACULOUS CURE OF DROPSY.
Extract of a Letter •from Edward Rowley, Esq., of India
Walk, Tobago, dated April Bth, 1832.
To Professor Holloway,-.-Sir,—l deem it a duty I owe to you
and the public at large to inform you of a most miraculous re-
covery from that dreadful disease, Dropsy, and which, under
God, was affected by your invaluable Pills. I was tapped five
times within eight months, and skilfully treated by two medical
practitioners, but could not get cured, until I had recourse to
your remedy, and notwithstanding all I had undergone, this
miraculous medicine cured me in the course of six weeks.

To Professor Holloway,—Dear Sir,—A person in this neigh-

long time with violent spasmodic pains in the stomach and
liver, arising from frequent colds, smells of paint, and the ef-
fects of a stooping position which he was obliged to assume in
his busmess. At length he heard of your invaluable Pills, and
gave them a trial. The first dose gave him considerable re-
lief, and by following them up in accordance with your direc-
tions, they have acted so wonderfully in cleansing the liver and
stomach, and strengthening the digestive organs, that he has
been restored to the enjoyment of good health. N. ROSTOCK.

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 29, 1553.

THE WEEK.

A WEEK, of which the greater part has been a
cessation from labour, in order to mark the anni-
versary of the death and resurrection of the RE-
DEEMER, presents but few incidents on which to
comment. The almanack tells us that the season
is Spring, but the weather has been as severe as in
the month of January,—a continuous frost, with
hitter cold winds from the North and East, and
slight falls of snow, only relieved by bright sun-
light. Vegetation is consequently kept back, the
buds are afraid to open, and the trees are as bare
of foliage as they were before Christmas. The
ground, however, is dry, and farming operations
have been carried on with some activity'; so that,
should a fine Summer succeed, we may reasonably
expect a fair average harvest, if not something more.
The Amusements in Liverpool have, of course,
been spare during the past week ; but yesterday,
being Easter Monday, they commenced in full
activity. At the Theatre Royal, the season was
opened with a series of French plays, by the prin-
cipal artistes of the St. James's Theatre in London.
At the Amphitheatre, the legitimate drama has
been restored, with " Hamlet," by Mr. GEORGE
VANDENIIOFF ; and "Henry V." is promised for
Monday next ; and a Grand Concert, by the Car-
penter Family, took place at the Concert-hall, Lord
Nelson-street. Several similar entertainments are
announced, so that music appears to hold its sway
amidst commercial activity.
Some time since, when the complaint was want of
employment, the only remedy that could be devised
was Emigration, and the Government was called
upon to expatriate the labouring class in order to
better the condition of those who remained. The
potato-disease and misgovernment in Ireland, as
well as the gold discoveries in the remotest regions of
the earth, have stimulated emigration to an extent
never dreamed of by those who were its warmest
advocates, and we are now beginning to reap some
of the fruits of this decimation of the industrious
population. -We have as yet had no excessive high
prices of the necessaries of life, nor any apprehen-
sions of scarcity; the rise has been so gradual as
scarcely to be perceptible; and no man could prove
any substantial disadvantage from increased cost of
living. But the working man has discovered his
improved value in the scarcity of his competitors,
for emigration has thinned the ranks; and those
who formerly were content to get regular employ-
ment at the current rate of wages, now boldly
demand an advance, in most cases amounting to
three shillings a week. Liverpool, within the last
few days, has witnessed a series of strikes for the
higher remuneration of labour, to which the masters
have felt themselves compelled to submit; and this
movement has not been confined to skilled artisans,
who may be supposed to have less to dread from
competition, but has extended to the porters em-
ployed at the different railway stations, who have
succeeded in their object, owing to the necessity
of the case depriving their employers of a remedy.
It is gratifying to be able to report that there is
full employment in Liverpool:for every man who is
willing to work ; but we would caution those who
have been so ready to take advantage of the neces-
sity for their services, to beware of the consequences.
There are many thousands of able and industrious
men in this country to whom the rate of wages
weekly paid would have .been a strong temptation
to migrate from their homes, had employment been
assured them. Changes, when avoidable, are
however to be condemned ; yet now the masters in
Liverpool have been furnished with ample justifi-
cation for looking elsewhere for servants ; and since
the facilities of railway communication are so great,
many of these will not be slow to avail themselves
of the opportunity. Another disadvantage attend-
ing such strikes is, that the enhancement of the
wages of labour, by rendering the work unprofitable
to the employer, often leads to its being done
without; so that, by over-reaching, the workman
loses all.

On Wednesday a melancholy accident occurred
near Wigan, by an explosion in a colliery belonging
to the Ince Hall Coal Company. So fatal a dis-
aster is almost unparalleled in the annals of colliery
explosions, as many as forty-five lives having been
sacrificed. In such cases it is difficult to tell
where the blame rests; but in hazardous pursuits
the observance of rules for safety should he
despotically enforced, as men constantly exposed to
danger are usually the most reckless.

PURITY OF ELECTION.—That a flue should
have caught fire in Windsor Castle, to the im-
minent peril and partial injury of that noble build-
ing, is quite in the ordinary course of events.
Flues are made to catch fire. The mishaps of the
miserable steamer Australian, waterlogged ap-
parently by the weight of her own coal, are still
less surprising. Nor can we lift up our hands or
eyes at the disclosures which Mr. Duncombe's
pleasant malice has elicted from the Norwich
petition inquiry by simply letting several angry
men question each other to their hearts' content.
The substance of these disclosures is merely that
Colonel Forester has acquired (by occupancy, we
suppose) a sort of property in one of the dressing..
rooms at the Carlton, where he keeps (like Miss
Flite) his " documents," and sees Mr. Brown;
that constituencies in want of candidates may he
accommodated by the same gentleman, with secrecy
and despatch; that petitions, good, bad, and in-
different, are sometimes got up, cancelled, com-
promised, and manipulated in all sorts of ways
" for the good of the party." Facts which can
scarcely astonish the most unsophisticated stranger
who strays along the pavement of Pall-mall.—
Guardian.

THE CLERGY RESERVES (CANADA) BILL
changes its hues as variously as a cameleon. The
effect of the vote obtained by Lord Jonx RUSSELL
on Friday is simply this. If the Canadian Legisla-
ture secularize the clergy funds, the people of Eng-
land will probably have to pay out of their own
pockets, by taxation, the clergy who give spiritual
instruction to the people of Canada. Oxford
University must surely blush for Mr. GLADSTONE'S
conduct and apology for it on this occasion. He
looks on with approbation at the confiscation of
Church property ; but adds, as by way of excuse,
that he will watch with anxiety as to what the
Canadian Parliament may do with the plunder.
This is as bad as the apology made by GEORGE
SELWYN when a lady reproved him for his barba-
rity in being present at the execution of Lord
LOVAT. "It is true (said the wit) that I went in
the morning to see Lord LovAT's head cut off;
but I went also in the afternoon to see the surgeons
sew it on again !"—Church and State Gazette.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. - What we are in
danger of forgetting is, that we cannot separate the
social and moral progress of the world from that
Christianity which is the basis of it all; and, there-
fore, that it is the more incumbent on us, on all,
to guard against a negation of positive Christianity,
by substituting an abstract theory of political
science ; and also, against taking all the good fruits
of Christianity and the Church without gratitude,
and without return. Let us see that, as we im-
prove in the arts of life, we are not careless of its
duties. As we multiply our railways that many
may run to and fro, let us also increase our schools,
that knowledge may be increased. If we build new
cities that men may prosper as to this world, let
provision be made for new churches
bytthhe progress
that
pthegnreexsts
world may not be unheeded. If,
of machinery, there is less demand for man's physi-
cal powers, let us seek to call into beneficial exercise
his intellectual g
ifts. If, in the progress of things,
there beagreat refinement as to all that is of the
earth earthy, let those who enjoy it rise to the true
height of their moral dignity, as having destinies
that are heavenly. There is much to be done be-
fore any laudation of our progress in any intrinsic
good can be consistent. It is a poor progress that
looks no further than this life, and does not carry
