BRITISH EDINBURGH, JULY 30 The proceedings commenced at eight o'clock this morn ing with a public breakfast in the Royal Hotel. At half past nine the newly-elected council met for the transac tion of business. At 10 o'clock the general meeting was opened in the natural philosophy class room, which, as on the previous day, was quite full. Various routine and minor matters were quickly disposed of. Mr. Newnham, the late treasurer of the Medical Benevolent Fund, was unani mously elected an honorary member on the motion of Mr. B. EnDISON, of Nottingham, seconded by Mr. HATTON of Manchester. the sources of fallacy arising from the shameful adulteration of many drugs, and glanced at the wonderful uses of anmsthesea as an illustration of progress in our knowledge of the useful application of some the most potent articles of the Materia Medica. He attributed the present low con dition of therapeutics simply to the want of cultivators. The truth was that the extraordinary interest excited for some time past by the science of pathology had attracted to that branch of the practice of physic almost every original inquirer of note who had appeared in the ranks of medical practice for fully 40 years. Pathology 40 years ago was in a deplorably backward state, but now it stood out prominent, with the dignity of a systematic and favoured science; and it was well that things had so fallen out, inasmuch as the thorough cultivation of pathology was an essential prelimi nary to the thorough cultivation of therapeutics; and what might they not hope for therapeutics should the time arrive when the same engrossing ardour which had been long applied to pathological researches should be turned in the direction of therapeutic physiology and practice. As yet, however, this transfer had not begun to take place; but, on the con trary, great discouragement had been held out in this country from the highest quarters to the cultivation of therapeutics. Ever since the foundation of medical schools in the Univer sities of Scotland, therapeutics, as the principal branch of the Materia Medica, had occupied a conspicuous place in medical tuition; and in this University, in which the course of instruction in Materia Medico had invariably been a six months' course, one should think that the department of therapeutics must occupy about two-thirds of it. In the hands of Cullen the chair of Materia Medica became little else than a chair of therapeutics. About thirty-five years ago, the Edinburgh College of Surgeons for the first time added Materia Medico to the requirements for its diploma, and the example was afterwards followed by the Loudon colleges. But snore recently tile London boards of educa tion resolved on a sudden that they had hitherto attached too much consequence to this department, and declared by their regulations that a three months' course iu summer was sufficient fur the teaching of Materia Medica— equivalent to about one-sixteenth of the whole medical curriculum. It was simply ridiculous to talk of teaching a subject so comprehensive in the space of three months. But to add to the discouragements thereby given to therapeutics, it must also be confessed that it was a branch of medical science peculiarly difficult to cultivate. After adverting to the numerous difficulties of the pharmacopceist Professor Christison went on to say that the difficulties which arose iu the way of therapeutics from the condition of its accessory branches of knowledge, were as nothing from those inseparable from the observation of the essential phenomena of therapeutic action itself, and from the fact t hat the results had to be contributed by a multitude of un connected observers, differing in accuracy of observation, soundness of judgment, mental culture, in prejudices to be overcome, and in fidelity and conscientiousness to record. The wonder, after all, rather was that so much had been done to elevate therapeutics to the rank of a medical science; and, had time permitted, he might have consoled them with a retrospect of much that had been accomplished, in spite of many and great impediments. In conclusion, he expressed his belief that important discoveries awaited him who would now enter expressly on therapeutic inquiry, uninfluenced by the seductions of pathology, by the prejudices of educe• tional boards, or by the inherent difficulties of the invest' gation. NEXT ANNUAL MEETING. ..verpool was fixed as the place for the next annual meet ing, upon the motion of Dr. WATERS of Liverpool, seconded by Dr. C. R. HALL, of Torquay. Dr. LANKESTER, of London, did not oppose the motion, but could not resist expressing regret that Dublin bad not been selected. He said it ought to be the policy of the British Medical Association to break new ground. Annual meet_ ings have already been held in Liverpool, but there has never been a meeting in Dublin, and in that city the asso ciation had only two members. Many new members would be added to the list if the association met in Ireland, and it is by increasing numbers and embracing the great mass of the profession in the three kingdoms that power and influ ence will be gained and good achieved. Professor SIMPSON supported Dr. Lankester's views, and expressed a hope that in 1860 the meeting would be in Dublin. Dr. LEES, of Dublin, thought that if everything were satisfactorily arranged a prosperous meeting might be held in Dublin ; but it was not to be concealed that mistaken ideas were entertained in Dublin as to the part which the British Medical Association had taken in regard to the recent medical reform agitation. "I fear," said Dr. Lees, " that it is felt in Dublin that your triumph is our defeat." Dr. Lees proceeded to say that so far as he had the power he would endeavour to promote a comfortable and success• ful meeting in Dublin in 1860. Dr. MAHOOD, of Enniskillen, said that Dr. Lees had spoken as if the whole Irish profession was represented by the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of Dublin. This was not the case—the fellows of these bodies were very far from being the majority, and, indeed, were not even the minority. (Roars of laughter.) In Ireland the profession, as a whole, were three to one in favour of the Medical Reform Bill, which had been carried through the influence of the association, and they would all unite in giving a right. hearty welcome to the British Medical Association when ever it should come to Dublin. (Cheers.) It seemed to be understood, after some further conversa ion, that in 1860 the association would meet in Dublin. PRESENT STATE OP THERAPEUTIC SCIENCE. Dr. CHRISTISON, amidst immense applause, commenced his address on the present state of therapeutics. We regret that we can only give au outline of the masterly and most interesting discourse of the learned professor. He said when the council of this association did him the honour of inviting him to deliver an address on the occasion of its visit to Edinburgh, and confided to him the selection of a subject, his choice fell where it may appear to many to have been too ambitious. Therapeutics—the doc trine of remedies—the theory and practice of cures, the final and most effectual part of the art of healing— that branch of medical learning to which every other is merely prefatory, subordinate, or fundamental ; without which everything else in physic, anatomy, physiology, pathology, nosology, are all alike practically useless—the science which teaches the actions and modes of action, the effects on health and disease, the special uses of the thousand articles, medicinal, dietetic, and regiminal, which have been estab lished as the tools of the physician during the experience of 2,000 years,—that was the subject, which in its widest sense he was called on to discuss, according to his fancy, on that •ccasion. If any physician of experience and candour will dispassionately examine himself, he canno fail to confess, if he have not previously come to the conclu• sion, that therapeutics, considered as a branch whether of medical science or of medical att, and compared with the other branches of medicine, whether fundamental or prac- tical, is in a backward and unsatisfactory condition. It is not enough to admit that for a good many years past medi cine can point neither to a single great authority, nor to a single plausible or generally admitted theory as to the ac tions of remedies. Even our therapeutic facts are far too often scanty, vague, or insecurely founded. In the history of physic it was long the fashion to be never without a popular therapeutic theory. As every one knows, there was a time when the medical world, almost with one accord, believed in the doctrines of solidism, as ruling the nature of diseases, and not less the mode o curing them. At another time the doctrines of humoralism, not less prevalent, concentrated the atten tion on the fluids of the body as the seat of diseases, and the medium to be influenced by remedies. Afterwards in this country the theory of Cullen taught us to look to peculiar states of the capillary circulation as the source of disease, and the proper object of the action of remedies, and to the nervous system as the mechanism for developing the neces sary action. A great revulsion had followed, and facts alone had come into demand,and though a tendency had been ex hibited, in regard to some diseases, to fall back on a kind of humoralism,no therapeutic theory had for many years taken firm hold of professional favour, or outlived an ephemeral existence. It was to this unpreoccupied state of the profes sional world that they owed the partial success in these days of the grandest imposture in the history of modern therapeutics. (Hear, hear.) All other quackeries which daily flourished and perished before them were simply em pirical quackeries of the coarsest kind, and success with them was a compound ratio of fortunate lying and slavish advertising. Hence it was that such quackeries presented little or no attraction to the medical mind ; it was rare that a medical man had adopted any quack nostrum except his own. (Laughter. But the famous author of homceopathy took his measures better. He came at a lucky hour when neither his creed nor he himself had aoy popular rival to contend with. He knew medical human nature well, and was quite aware that the theoretical had invincible charms for the imaginative He had a prurient invention, and struck out at once what must be admitted to be a grand hypothesis—that like was to be cured by like—that disease was to be encountered by a parallel—and therefore neutralising artificial disease. 1 was true that he had tremendous errors to maintain in order first to found, and afterwards to apply this hypothesis. But still they were not so great as to be beyond reception by the credulous, and, had he been content with stopping there, his Homion Pathos might have flourished. Intoxicated, however, with his first success, he ventured a bolder stroke, and professed alto the doctrine of doses so in finitely attenuated as to defy the external senses, surpass comprehension, and outrage common sense. (Applause.) Had he been somewhat more temperate in his " dilutions ;' if, instead of dealing with billionths, trillionths, and de cillionths of a grain, he had been content with palpable and visible hundred tbsor even thousandths, Hahnemann escap ing the shafts of ridicule, and descending from the heights of impossibility would have made many more converts among the credulous in his profession. He might have founded a long-lived sect instead of finding only a few fleeting admirers. Instead of a passing meteor he might have become a comet in the firmament of physic, brilliant though erratic, nebulous, indeed, and unsubstantial, but " perplexing nations." (Laughter.) Let them be thankful that this extravagance of his pretensions had laid bare their imposture; and let them leave him to the repose into which he and his doctrines were quietly subsiding. (Applause.) We can scarcely say what is the prevailing theory of therapeutics in the present day. In these times a theory, to be attractive and lasting, must be a faithful generalisation of facts, but he (Professor Christison) was afraid that the facts of therapeutics must be allowed to accumulate before they can be generalised into a sound theory. It is not enough to admit that we have no well established theory, we must also confess that our facts are far from being satis factory. Here Professor Christison illustrated his meaning by reference to some examples. He pointed out great and serious gaps in the existing knowledge of the important and familiar remedy—foxglove; and then stated that these gaps arise simply from ignorance of facts, which do not ap pear particularly difficult to settle. He took colchicum as another example :-1. We do not positively know which part of the plant, the seed or the bulb, is the more power ful, and which the more uniform. 2. We do not know, although it is assumed that we know, the season of the year at which the bulb is most active. 3. Some prefer a tincture of the seeds—and this preparation is probably both most energetic and most easily made uniform in energy others prefer a vinous solution of the bulb; others an ascetic solution of the bulb; others of the seed; and we do not yet positively know who is right. 4. Some administer drachm doses several times a-day, which others—of whom he (Dr. Christison) was one—have found to be dangerous; and some obtain all the benefits for which colchicum is given by administering doses of one-third of that amount. 5. In order to attain its curative influent ein acute rheumatism and gout, some have observed that it must be given so as to develop in a moderate degree its well-known physiological action on the bowels, not that this action is necessary for the therapeutic action, but merely because it is the best evidence of the remedy having been administered to the ne cessary amount. Others again say that no such evidence is wanted, and that the action of colchicum in gout and rheu matism is something peculiar and specific—a therapeutic action quite apart from all apparent physiological influences. The world is not yet agreed as to the safety of arresting the paroxysm of gout by colchicum. This appeared to him (Dr. Christison) to be an error, but every one knows that many phy sicians of credit have supposed that ultimately the practice undermines the constitution. Thus here again is a whole string of unascertained facts, of great importance to the successful use of a remedy which has been very long iu everybody's hands. Professor Christison then illustrated in a similar manner the want of agreement among physicians as to the properties of sarsaparilla, &c. lie likewise toucbed upon Dr. CONOLLY, in brief and eloquent terms, proposed a vote of thanks to Dr. Christison for his very able address. It exhibited the same love of truth, and the same high talent which had characterised the author from his student life onwards. -- - Dr. DAVIES, of Bath, seconded the motion. To all pre sent the address of Dr. Christison bad afforded great grati fication, as it was an exposition of the most important department of medical scieuce by one who was acknowleged to be the greatest living authority in it. To those who had like him (Dr. Davies) listened iii former years to the academic and hospital lectures of Dr. Christison on the materia medica and therapeutics, the present address had recalled old days most pleasantly. The PRESIDENT then in due form returned the thanks of the association to Dr. Christison. VARIOUS PAPERS. Papers were read by Mr. Humphrey, of Cambridge, on the proportions of the human frame at different periods of life; by Dr. Alexander Wood, of Edinburgh, on the treat ment of neuralgic pains by narcotic injections; by Mr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of London, on the means of recog nising in after life the subjects of inherited syphilis; by Mr. G. L. Bonnar, of Cupar Fife, on the topical treatment of neuralgia; by Dr. Edward Smith, on the effect of tem perature upon the system in relation to food; 'and by Mr I. B. Brown, on vesico-vaginal fistula. working. Formerly one of the most painful tasks con nected with our art was the diagnosis of injuries and performance of operations on patients of tender years; and sometimes the sympathies of our common nature may have temptel to a hasty and imperfect execu tion of the task, out of mere compassion to the writhing sufferer. Now, the utmost deliberation and care are in all cases within our reach ; the patient passionless ; and the risk of casualty notoriously small. In the case of adults, I desire to express my own conviction that a complete anms thesis by inhalation ought to be had recourse to only in obedience to the requirement of stern necessity. My belief is unqualified in the law of tolerance here. If the circum stances arc such as to demand the remedial agent, that may he readily administered, in the expectation that the system will not suffer permanent damage in its use, and that the ultimate result will be in no respect untoward. But if the circumstances of the case be not so imperative, then I have no confidence in the anaesthetic, and will fear a casualty at every turn. This is no fancy or superstition. It is the working out of a law of Nature which permeates the whole range. " Quod necessarium, tutuni." The thera peutic objects of the =esthetic agent I take to be—the abrogation of intense and exhausting pain, the diminution of shock, and the relaxation of muscular action ; the last, perhaps not the least important. In any formidable sur gical procedure in which, the attainment of one or all of these objects seems highly expedient, if not absolutely neces sary—as in amputations, lithotomy, dislocations, hernia, &c., I would not hesitate to anaesthetise ; but in any minor procedure in which pain or risk of shock is inconsiderable, or in which muscular relaxation and absolute impassivity are not required, I would be slow to humour the patient's fancy, or quiet his unnecessary alarm at the expense of running counter to the law of tolerance, and so incurring ri-k of serious casualty. It becomes me to take this oppor tunity of stating that when chloroform was first brought into use here, I was a great enthusiast in its praise. I esteemed it to be as safe and manageable as it was bene ficial, and thought that it could hardly be used too often or too freely. I committed these thoughts to written words, and, as I wrote, my pen warmed with an honest enthusiasm. But siotsequent events have chastened and subdued my tone; and my present " surgical experience of chloroform" amounts to this—never to withhold its use when that use SEEMS to be imperatively required, and never to sanction its use unless this seems to be absolutely demanded, always con ducting it administration with the utmost prudence and caution, so as to avoid those terrible results which error or excess, even under the protection of an existing tolerance, may not fail to produce, and from which, as experience has too fully shown, even faultless administration is not altoge ther free. Into the question as to whether ether or chloro form be the safer anaesthetic, Ido not enter. Both are im perfect; and ere long an agent superior to both may pro bably be discovered. At half-past eight p.m. a conversazione was held at the College of Physicians. The spacious rooms were overflow ing. The excellence of the entertainment both to mind and body gave universal satisfaction. In the course of :the evening Dr. G. Wilson, professor of technology in the uni versity, delivered a brilliant lecture upon the " Indestructi bility of Force." Force might be transmuted or trans ferred, or lost, so far as its use and application were concerned, but it was never lost in the sense of its being annihilated. He illustrated his remarks by a comprehen sive analysis of the investigations into the laws of heat, electricity, &c., from the period of Rumford and Davy down to the time of Herschel!, Faraday, Joule, and W. H. Thompson. The general conclusion from these inquiries being that terrestrial force was almost entirely derived from solar heat; the last-named philosopher having carried his investigations so far as even to compute how long that source of power might last. JULY 31. The Medical Missionary Society and a numerous party ' the British Medical Association breakfasted together at eight a.m. At 11 o'clock the association reassembled. 'OCIATION MEDICAL BENEVOLENT FUND. The report, signed by the president of the fund, Sir James Clark, was read by the secretary, and was to the following effect : " Commencing the year with a debt of about £l5 to their late respected treasurer, Mr. Newnham, the committee were soon released from all difficulty by a munificent gift of 500 guineas from Mr. Toynbee. With a plentiful balance to resort to, your committee have thus been able to deal out bountiful aid in these dis tressing cases where immediate and liberal pecuniary assistance can alone be of service. They have accordingly ventured to bestow larger grants than formerly, at the same time that they have increased the numbers of the recipients of their charity. In one instance they gave the sum of £5O; it was to the widow and family of a medical man, who, having struggled hard but unsuccessfully in ill-health and in misfortune, died, leaving wholly unprovided for 11 orphans, and his poor widow about again to become a mother. £3O was voted to each of two other cases, and £25 to each of two more. The sum of £792 10s. was expended in the assistance of urgent cases during the year, while £'2l4 was given to annuitants, six of whom are living rent free in Mr. Bailey's comfortable houses at Chippenbam. " Your committee hav3 also the grateful satisfaction of knowing that, by the careful investigation of the cases \brought before them, and then by placing the money they have voted in the hands of some friend, who watched over its disposal, they have been enabled to uplift the fallen from a condition of degradation and misery, to one in which they have successfully struggled to obtain a livelihood for them- selves and their families. " The experience of your committee confirms more and more deeply the wisdom and beneficence of the founders of the Medical Benevolent Fund and its subsequent sup porters, in delegating to a committee the duty of investi gating the applications for relief, and of distributing the funds. Conscious that they are influenced only by a strong desire to do full justice t 9 all, by giving aid according to the real necessities of each case, they venture to express their conviction that in selecting the true and worthy objects of charity, by aiding them silently and as liberally as their means permit, and afterwards by watching over them, the Medical Benevolent Fund approaches,as near as a public charitycan ap proach, to that which it trusts never to supersede—the private Christian charity which let teth not the left hand know what the right hand doeth." Further than this, your committee are happy in feeling that instead of superseding private charity their operations tend to call it forth and foster it; for in many instances the expression of their intention to give aid, only as an addition to any that may he supplied by friends, has called forth friends and their effective assistance. " The committee, nevertheless, do not conceal from them selves the serious difficulties which beset them in the perfor mance of their duties. To investigate every month the cha racter of so large a number of applicants for relief as come before them to decide upon those that are worthy of aid, and then to administer the funds according to the claims of the several cases, are duties attended by no ordinary anxiety and responsibility; and the committee wish to impress upon the subscribers and friends to the fund, that these difficulties are greatly increased when the funds at their disposal are very small. " Sincerely thanking the subscribers for their liberal assist ance, the committee urge the necessity of constant exertion on the part of those who have confidence in the unobtrusive principles upon which the Medical Benevolent Fund is con ducted ; and they especially suggest to medical men that they may do essential service by laying the present report before their friends and patients. By means of Mr. Toyn bee's large donation during the past year, and by the in crease of funds arising from the recent festival, at which its chairman, Earl Granville, with equal sympathy and elo quence, most successfully advocated the claims of the fund, the committee have at present, as will be seen by the trea surer's report, a considerable balance in hand. This balance is, however, liable to disappear, or at least to be greatly diminished at any meeting where numerous and urgent cases are brought forward, demanding large and liberal aid. It is evident that without abundant means the committee can no longer bestow the assistance which has so often elicited the touching, because heartfelt, ex pressions of gratitude from the downcast medical man, his destitute widow, or orphan children; expressions of gratitude, of which some are quoted in an appendix, be , cause the committee wish the subscribers to feel, that they provide the bountiful aid, they also can enjoy the in expressible consolation of knowing " That they have been Themselves the fathers and the dealers out Of some small blessings • have been kind to such As needed kindness." ADDRESS ON THE PRESENT STATE OF SURGICAL SCIENCE. Professor MILLER gave a most interesting sketch of the vast progress of surgical science in later times, and dwelt with great effect upon the achievements of conservative sur gery. In one respect, however, he remarked th e knife is busier now than before—namely, in removing dis eased portions of a part in order to preserve the whole. Operative surgery, mutilating or destructive, we desire to curb; and as our art truly advances, this deparment of it will be found within still narrowing limits; but operat ive surgery, which is conservative, is widening its field of work, and with the happiest results. In surgery, as in medicine, and perhaps more especially, we have to guard against a common error in believing that progress and 'amendment are necessarily connected with the discovery of what is striking and new. The flash of novelty is one thing—the steady light of progress is quite another thing. The foremost man is not he who jerks himself into the front by some royal road or short cut, but he who has come by the old ways, and uses these as his basis of operations in advance. To be safe we must occupy a space between two extremes —not blind to inno vation on the one han d, not blin ded by innovation on the other. The rule of c onduct is p la in and infallible — " Prove all things; bold fast that w hich is good." (Cheers.) Pro fessor Miller then referred to one or two points of recent interest. thecaseof thch regard e W a l m ost all that could be desired. Its effect is both rapid a nd easy. It annihilates an agony which otherwise would have proved a sad penance to both surgeon and patient ; and we are seldom troubled with anxiety or alarm in its i ADDRESS ON THE PRESENT STATE OF MIDWIFERY. Dr. SIMPSON delivered an address on "The Progress o Midwifery." He began by describing the careers of three neighbouring country doctors established in Hamilton and Lanark 130 years ago—viz., Dr. William Cullen, Dr. Wil liam Hunter, and Dr. Smellie, and by showing that the two last were the founders of the modern school of British Mid wifery. He proceeded to trace in rapid succession th e various advances in the science and art of obstetric medicine and surgery from Swale's day to our own, and specially insisted on the fact that gradually from an increased know ledge of obstetric physiology there was less and less meddle some interference in the way of obstetric practice. He dwelt at some length on the history of the introduction of anaesthe tics into midwifery. If their use was irreligious, then modern agriculture was irreligious too, because it made use of many implements and appliances to diminish or do away with that curse which permitted man to till the ground "in the sweat of his brow" alone. In this way, irreligion was the characteristic of all the studies of the physician that tended to annul those pains which the curse entailed, and to avert that death which was its peculiar sting. And in this way, irreligion must be charged against divines, whose earnest life-long labours were directed towards the abolition of sin, and so to the abroga tion of the primeval curse. Nor was the practice more unnatural or more an unnecessary interference with pro videntially arranged functions, as some had averred, than were any of the practices of civilisation, for they all appeared at first unnatural, and they all interfered with functions providentially arranged. Pain in labour was no more " salutary and conservative" than pain in other circumstances; in fact, it could most easily be statistically shown here to be dangerous and destructive. The mission of the physician was twofold—to preserve human life, and to alleviate human suffering, and he who in any case omitted to do the latter, failed in his duty to his patient, and wil lingly descended from the high platform of active philan thropy on which members of the medical profession should ever stand. No one dared refuse his skill to remove other pains; why did any one hesitate to remove the pains of la bour? The probability was, that with this as with other beneficent innovations, the reform in practice from which the profession held back would be forced on them in the end by their suffering patients, in the same way as the punish ments of crime had been mitigated at the unanimous de mand of a people, and in opposition to the stern re_ sistance of chancellors and lawyers who thought the Bri tish constitution must have gone to ruin if a petty theft were punished by a milder means than the hangman's rope ; and as, but for the laity, the clergy might still be firing the faggot round the heretic's stake. Some of the medical objections—suds as that anaesthesia in labour would lead to idiotcy, puerperal fever, mania, and compli cations of all kinds, expbrience bad shown to be utterly unfounded ; and as for the convulsions which chloroform was to have produced, chloroform had proved Itself the most certain remedy for the disease. The dread that it would often prove fatal had turned out to be unfounded as far as regarded its administration in labour, for not one fatal case had been reported from among the many thou sands in which it had been used ; and in some of those surgical cases where anaesthesia had been blamed for the fatal issue, the blame might have been unjust, seeing that patients had not unfrequently died en the operating table suddenly, and without a sign, to whom no anesthetic had been administered. That chloroform would cause death, he (Dr. Simpson) bad shown in his earliest paper on the subject; but so could opium, Epsom salts, and almost every other dreg when used in large full doses. It had now become a domestic remedy with many families in Scot land ; and with due care it might be used with as much confidence as most other drugs in the pharmacopceia. Many practitioners who had at first opposed it had now come to employ it in natural labour, either from the con viction of its utility or on the compulsion of their patients. After making some observations on the mode of its admi nistration in labour, Dr. Simpson concluded his address by laying down a few rules to be observed in using it, insist ing particularly on this, that the vapour should be exhibited only during a pain, and should be removed entirely during theintervals. During the delivery of his address Professor Simpson was repeatedly interrupted by bursts of applause. From the strictly professional character of some parts of it our analysis is necessarily imperfect. A vote of thanks was given to Dr. Simpson on the motion of Mr. I. B. BROWN of London, seconded by Mr. STED MAN of Guildford. VISIT TO THE BOTANIC GARDENS. The party assembled in the class-room where Professor Balfour exhibited and described drawings of many inter- On the tables estin medcinal and econoical lants. were g placed i living specimens m of the p British ferns, including the rarer Scottish species. There were also on the tables some most interesting alpine plants of Scotland. The Botanical Museum was examined, the general arrangement of the gardens, and various Indoor collections were visited. The scammony plant was seen covered with flowers in the a l so the jalap plant with numerous flower open ground, buds. The weather was propitious and the great natural and scientific attractions of the gardens were seen and felt in great perfection. At six p.m• a large party of members dined together in the Hopetoun Rooms. Professor Chistison presided, the f president's health being too f e eblee for the excitem en t necessarily connected with such y as RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. The half-yearly report of the directors, to be presented at the meeting of Saturday, was issued yesterday. It states the half-year's accounts now submitted show the net re venue for the six m on th s en di ng J u ne 30, 1858, after deducting interest on loans, and all other preferential charges, to be £150,573 6s. 9d. ; to which is to be added surplus at December 31, 1857, £7,234 13s. 4d. ; leaving a balance available for dividend of £157,808 Os. ld. From the above sum the directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of £4 ss. per cent. per annum, payable on the 21st day of August, be declared, amounting on £7,197,850115. 4d. of capital paid up to £152,954 6s. 5d.; leaving to be carried over to next half-year, £4,853 13s. Bd. The decrease in the gross revenue for the half-year, in comparison with the corresponding period in 1857, is £13,514. The prolonged depression in trade has continued to exercise an unfavourable influence ou the traffic of the last half-year, but the receipts of this company will bear a favourable comparison with those of other metropolitan lines. A revival of trade, which may be reasonably anticipated, will materially increase the traffic re ceipts. At the half-yearly meeting in August, 1856, discre tionary powers were conferred on the directors for the disposal of the share capital then remaining unissued, and a consider able portion was immediately afterwards allotted to the proprietors. It has now become necessary to take further action respecting the still remaining share capital, when ever the directors may consider the state of the money mar ket and other circumstances favourable. It is therefore proposed at this meeting to revive the powers delegated to the directors in 1856, and to extend their application to the capital as authorised and settled by the Amendment Acts of 1857 and 1858. A resolution to effect this will be submitted to the meeting. The total paid-up capital of the company in consolidated stock at the present time i5:.£7,713,650 , the preferential stocks, £185,676; the ordinary debenture debt. £2,850,176 ; the amount raised on the perpetual 4 per cent, debenture stock is £47,862 ; the amount of consolidated stock remaining unissued is £515,799185. Bd. The report of the locomotive superintendent shows a diminution of the expenses chargeable against the revenue in that depart ment of £2,491 12s. 4d., notwithstanding that two engines have been built at the expense of revenue during the half year, and added to the stock. The permanent way has been maintained in good working condition. Although the a mount of expense incurred during the present, exceeds that of the corresponding period of 1857, it will be ob served that £8,802 have been expended in relaying portions of the line during the latter half-year at the expense of re venue. The doubling of the Southampton and Dorchester line has progressed rapidly, and will be completed within the time reported to the Board of Trade. The works on the Exeter extension line are also proceeding satisfactorily. The bill introduced by the company into Parliament for authorising the several objects sanctioned by the share holders at their special meeting in December last, has re ceived the royal assent, and in addition to those objects other powers of practical value have been incidentally secured to the company. The Northa m Junction line au thorised by the above act is completed, and will effect a saving of time of about half an hour in the journey between London and Weymouth. This saving will be increased so soon as the double portion of the Dorchester line is finished. The works on the Topsham branch must in terms of the act be completed in two years, and as they can be executed with greater economy whilst the Exeter extension is in progress, the directors have agreed with the contractor for that line for the construction of the principal part of the works on the branch, including the purchasing of the land neces sary for tbem. The directors see no reason to doubt that the branch will be completed for £60,000. The respec tive working arrangements provisionally entered into, under the sanction of the shareholders, with the companies who own the lines from Topsham to 'Exmouth, and from Wim bledon to Epsom, including a subscription of £30,000 to wards the share capital of the latter, are now, under the powers of the Act of 1858, capable of being finally concluded. Resolutions will be submitted to the meeting for effecting these objects. Parliament has extended the time for the completion of the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway and has authorised the sale or lease thereof to this company. By the Salisbury and Yeovil Company's Act of 1857, this company is authorised to guarantee the debenture debt of the Salisbury and Yeovil Company. The proprietors sanctioned the acquisition of these powers, and, subject to their approval, the directors have agreed to act on them, the Salisbury and Yeovil Com pany being now in a position to exercise their borrowing powers, and having applied for the guarantee of this com pany, so as to enable them to borrow on better terms, a result which will be beneficial to both companies. A resolu tion authorising the completion of this arrangem ent will be submitted to the meeting. The directors ant icipated that they would be able to submit to the meeti n g a provisional agreement with the Stokes Bay Railway and the Isle of Wight Ferry Companies for the working of this company (.f the Stokes Bay Railway, and securing a punctual and efficient sea service to the island in connection with it. Circumstances, beyond the control of the directors, have prevented the completion of this arrangement, and the board, instead of submitting such an agreement as they anticipated, will ask of the meeting discretionary powers for making one so soon as satisfactory terms can be con cluded. In the district of Brentford and Richmond the com pany have succeeded, after a protracted contest, in pro curing the rejection of a bill, by which the broad gauge would have been extended to Richmond, and a hostile company have been established to compete unnecessarily for the traffic between Richmond and the north and north eastern pacts of London. In connection with this question, the directors, in or.ier to show the company's disposition to facilitate every proper public requirement in their own dis trict, established au additional service of trains, to run (via Barnes) between the terminus of the North and South- Western Junction line and Richmond, and for the purpose of improving this service the directors contemplate the execution of certain works at the Kew and Barnes Junc tions. These will provide the best answer to any renewed proposal of the rejected scheme, should such be attempted. The bill for converting the Andover Canal into a railway has received the sanction of Parliament. This line of rail way, when made, will for its entire length of 24 miles be parallel to the company's main line between Basingstoke and Southampton. The directors offered every opposition in their power to the bill in its progress through Parlia ment, being convinced that, although as a merely local line, which its promoters were careful to charactise it in Parlia ment, it could do little mischief except to those who might subscribe the capital for constructing it, yet that, if once sanctioned, it might afford a pretence for a more direct aggression on this company's interests. The directors con tinue so to regard it, and it will be the imperative duty of the company, by readily according every accommodation which the public can reasonably demand, and by watching their new neighbours, to anticipate and prevent the success of any such attempted aggression. COLCHESTER AND STOUR VALLEY. - - The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, at the offices, Colchester—Mr. T. L. Ewen in the chair. Mr. PHILBRICK, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the whole bonded debt of the company bad now been paid off. There bad been received during the past half-year from the Eastern Counties Railway Company £4,630, from which, however, £620 for interest on pre ference shares, and £l2O for rent, &c., had to be deducted, leaving a balance of £3,890. There were 9,417 shares to take dividend, which at Ss. 4d. a share, the amount pro posed by the directors, would make £3,811, leaving a balance to the credit of the next half-year of £79. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. TUR NER, the report was adopted, and the dividend declared. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW. At a special meeting of this company held on Tuesday at Glasgow—Mr. P. Blackburn, M.P., in the chair—the direc tors were authorised to create a 4 per cent. guaranteed stock to the amount of Dtsopo, under the powers of the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Stirling and Dunfermline Act of 1858, and to borrow £160,000, for the purpose of payin g oil the debenture bonds issued by the Stirling and Dun fermline Railway Company.
