COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMA, AND ALL DISOR-

DERS OF THE CHEST AND LUNGS
CURED, ''OR A SHILLING, BY HARVEY'S

COUGH PILLS,

VVERY day adds to the popularity of these Pills. Du-
-114 ring the recent severe weather their success in re-
moving Colds, Coughs, Asthma, and all Disorders of the
Chest and Lungs has been unprecedented in this locality.
They do not, indeed, profess to affect a cure " in ten mi-
nutes," but their remedial virtues are developed in a day
or two. The following Testimonials, selected from a
number of others which have come to hand during the last
few weeks, will convince the,most sceptical that these
Cough Pills are what they profess to be, the best and
safest Remedy ever discovered for Colds, Coughs, Asth-
ma, and Diseases of tlu'Chest and Lungs :

GENTLEMEN,—Permit me, through you, to tender my
acknowledgmentsto the Proprietor of Harvvey's Cough
Pills for the service that inestimable medicine has con-
ferred upon me. I contrEcted a severe cold, this winter,
in the exercise of my professional avocations,and a few of
the Pills immediately and effectually removed it. The
contents of the same box cured the colds of two of the in-
mates of my establishment. I never experienced a more
mild and pleasant aperient than Harvey's Cough Pills.
I am, gentlemen, yours, ;respectfully,

The present Company is formed for the purpose of
making application to the French Government for a Lease
of the Line from Paris to Lyons, and it is fully anticipated
that a Lease will be granted on more favourable terms and
conditions than those hitherto imposed ; the law of the
11th June, 1842, being under revision by the French Mi-
nistry, with a view to a change in the principles of Leasing
Lines to Railway Companies.
The Company will be prepared to accept the Lease on
the Terms the Law may ultimately establish, and also to
reimburse the Government the Sums already laid out in
the purchase of Land, and all the expenses incurred for
the Earthworks, &c.

Applications for Shares and Prospectuses to be made to
Messrs. PARKES, SMITH, and Co., Solicitors, 12, Bed-
ford-row; Messrs. SUTTON, GRIDDLE, and Co., Brokers,

CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.
PRESIDENT—Lord ASHLEY.
SECRETARY—Rev. E. F. CHAMFNE VS. (Temple-
chambers, Fleet-street, London.)
THE Friends of the Society are reminded that the Ac-
counts for the OparTear will be Closed on Mort-
DAY, the 31st of Ma instant • and that it is necessary,
in order to prev.eiwnit,e fie Funds short of the amount
received last , and to enable the Society to meet its
responsibiliti9, that all Sums already collected should be
remitted to London with as little delay as possible.
The cases before the Society have been of late so pain-
fully urgent that the Committee have ventured to make
seven new grants within the last month, raising the liabi-
lities to the sum of £22,416, while the whole amount as
yet received for the present year is only £18,190 Is. 7d.
It will be seen then that a vigorous effort is necessary to
be made by the Friends of the Society, in its behalf,
during the still remaining period of the present month.
The grants for which the Society stands pledged are in
number 288, in aid of 245 incumbents who have an aggre-
gate charge of 2,035,751 souls, or each on an average
8,039, while their average income is only £172 each, and
142 of them are without parsonage-houses. Twelve of
these grants are made to Liverpool and its immediate
neighbourhood, amounting at present to £l,OOO a-year
for the spiritual benefit of a population which is stated to
be more crowded in proportion to the area occupied than
any other in England, and which is utterly beyond the
power of the:present incumbents adequately to visit and
instruct without the assistance of such an institution as
the Church Pastoral Aid Society.
