Mr. JAMES (s)licitor) explained - that tt e directors did nt t seek an absolute relcahe shareho!ii• rs ou'd still 1 e entitled to a divi ion in such funds as migl t remati after tLe first amount had been paid. Mr. Durros said that not one member of that board had made one halfpenny. They had been misled by their engi neer from beginning to end.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. SPACKCEAN was desirous of saying one word. He was himself a small rerareholder, but independently of that he represented persons, respectable parties from Scotland, holding to the extent of above a thousand shares. An attempt had been made to cast aspersions on the motives of those who had signed the requisition, but he thought these motives could be easily explained. They could not dissolve the co-partnership which then existed between the shareholders, excepting under Lord Dalhousie's Act, and therefore it was that the requisitionists called that meeting.--(Hear, hear.) He disclaimed all inten tion of wishing to impute improper or dishonourable motives to the members of the board of direction, but he had been instructed by his constituents to this course, for they well knew that no other diss o lution wo u ld be l ega l or bind ing. —(Hear, hear.) They were now, however, ready to take the 1/. 7s. Gd., more especially as Mr. James had informed them Out this did not infer an absolute release. PRICE SD. Mr. R. FISHER moved, and Mr. K. LEWIS seconded a re solution, "That this Company be now dissolved."—Carried unanimously. Mr. R. COvrrE moved, and Mr. WEnn seconded a resolu tion, « That the vote of dissolution shallinot betaken to be an act of bankruptcy."—Also carried. Mr. KENstscroN LEWIS then disclaimed any and every intention of throwing any imputation upon either the chair man or directors of the Company. The CHAIR :MAN—Why, this gentleman, who speaks so kindly, went to the Court of Chancery, and there deposed on oath that I went out of the country to avoid my creditors, he knowing at the time that the fact was not so, and yet he states on his belief that I left the country for this purpose. Mr. K. LEWIS was now aware that the chairman was not out of the country to avoid any action ; but he bad men tioned his name with fifteen more, and in two cases out of three he v. a ; right. After a rather warm altercation, in which, occasionally, more than three or four voices joined, the scrutineers pro ceeded to take the votes, when there being more present than required by the Act, the Company was declared dissolved, and not by act of bankruptcy. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, the directors, and the scrutineers, which having been respcnetzd to, the meeting separated. THE FUNDS-(CLOSING PRICES). ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.

We are glad to find that the Committee for the establishment of baths and washhonsea for the labouring classes have published the Act for England with plain directions and forms for putting it into execution. t h ' e ux fo s r , m c e a r n l i y lot wo be rko m d ad d e ur t in eo g [ADVERTISEMENT.i— The following extraordinary George Wright, of High-street, Vauxhall, well known at ten years, but for the last five his health had been so bad that he could do nothing, being greatly emaciated, suffering from a diseased liver, and also the dropsy, besides an affection of the spine. He was t l ed- au: - l i i t al h l- I :al:, °‘ w vA h t er 's e as n the hospital at Winchester for Ave months, and afterwards in c li s i s n e: s t i c e:e n Westminster Hospital for three months longer. To sum up, from almost a dying state he has been restored to such comparative health and vigour, in the short space of five weeks, as to astonish all who know him, and this by Holloway's Pills, which may be had at Pro fessor Holloway's r.statilishment, 244, Strand; and cf All respect able medicine vendors throughout the civilised world AN ENTIIUSIAST.—Vire read in a Belgian journal— " The sale of the gallery of paintings of M. Van N., of Brussels, who died in the course of the last month, is ad vertised. This celebrated amateur not only devoted his life, but sacrificed the whole of his fortune, which originally pro duced him a revenue of 40,0G0f. a-year, to his passion for 'assessing the masterpieces of the great Flemish artists. Reduced by this to the want of even the necessaries of life. he could not be induced to part with even one of his cherished treasures. At last, an old servant, who continued to serve him without wages, converted the gallery into a source for the maintenance of his master and himself, by applying the gratuities given him for showing the splendid collection to visitors in purchasing food for them bath. A few years ago the faithful and affectionate old servant died, and M. Van hopeless of finding another on the same terms, took the office upon himself.. When visitors came to view the gallery, he put on the old livery, and attended them through it, dis -.laving a critical acquaintance with the merits of each pic ture that delighted all and astonished those who were able to appreciate his erudition. Sometimes the visitors, supposing him to be really the servant, would make the master the subject of sarcastic observations, some callitig him an eccen tric fool, and others a madman, and wondering that his friends did not have him declared a lunatic. All this he listened to either with perfect indifference, or making palliat ing excuses, as his old servant used to do, and, when their curiosity was satisfied, holding out his band for the accus tomed fee." • I . 1 igut Grey on s The eB is a h t o u p ro o a f y ß a a t r t. ta e doe_ oJO s had s an interv Mr withiey 17.: d. ha r_l also an interview with his Lordship. arrived 4l.l 311; frogra r their best in Ireland.

Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Ilants, October 26, 1844. _ _ Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills fer the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get oil,. of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in My knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of IN report. —Tours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY. Ainong the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the Impor tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom mendation of many of the greatest men of our day.

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, Drain, or other vital part.

Is it an animal ? Is it human ? Is it an extraordinary Freak of Nature ? or, is it a legitimate member of Nature's works? Or is it the long sought-for LINK between Man and the OUTANG OUTANG, which naturalists have for years decided does exist, but which has hitherto been undiscovered ? The exhibitors of this indescribable Person or Animal do not pretend to assert what it is ; they have named it the WILD MAN OF THE PRAIRIES ; or, " WHAT IS IT," because this is the universal exclamation of all who have seen it. Its features, hands, and the upper portion of its body, are to all appear ances human ; the lower part of its body, the hind legs, and haunches, are decidedly animal ! It is entirely covered, except the face and bands, with long flowing hair of various shades. IT IS LARGER THAN AN ORDINARY SIZED MAN, but not quite so tall. "WHAT IS IT" is decidedly the most extraordinary being that ever astonished the world. It has the intelligence appertaining to humanity, and can do anything it sees done, or anything which man or animal can do, except speak, read, or write. Hours from 11% to 1,3% to 5, and 7% to 9.

Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the Introduction of gas in dwellinr-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com monly supposed, it Is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or eanilis, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, SirJonx RENNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was heat ed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, chile the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more thati one-third." CERTIFICATE. POLYTECHNIC CHEMICAL SCHOOL.—" In testing Clark, WNW], and Co,'s Universal Gas Burner with one of the best shawdowless turners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20 to 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer, ROUT. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, CERTIFICATE. " In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niel), and Co.'s Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against argand burn. rs, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners, Nn. 4, 40 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe rior to any other burner." T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist, J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector. The UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER is used nightly at the Poly techn!c Institution, and may be had and seen from 11 till 4, at the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross ; and of all Gas Fitters in London.

A meeting of the shareholders in this Company was adver tised to be held this day, at the offices, 14, Ironmonger lane, but there being only one or two individuals in attend• ance at the hour named, no business was entered upon. THAMES HAVEN DOCK and RAIL WAY COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the above railway was advertised to be held at one o'clock this day ;in the offices of the Company, 84, Basinghall-street, but, owing to the meagre attendance of members, the business was not proceeded with until half-past one. Mr. Esdaile was called to the chair. The advertisement having been read, The SECRETARY proceeded to read a report, from which it appeared that the directors had succeeded in obtaining a re newal of their Act for five years longer. The report was unanimously adopted. Resolutions were then passed confirming the forfeiture of shares previously declared, and voting 25 shares to each of the directors, as a remuneration for the time and exertion re quired by the Company. Thanks having been awarded to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. SOUTH MIDLANDS and JCNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.). This day, a meeting, called by requisition, was held in the Guildhall Coffee-house, atone o'clock, for the purpose of determining whether the Company should or should not be dissolved under the Act 9th and 10th Victoria. ---- Major Morse Cooper, the Chairman of the Company, presided. The advertisement having been read, - - • - - The CHAIRMAN said the - first business before them was to elect three scrutineers. 'That done, they could then proceed to what was really the de) 's business. Captain TYNDALE proposed, and Mr. HADLOW seconded, the election of Messrs. Yates, Spence, and Webb, respective holders of 300, 350, and 400 shares.—Agreed to. The CHAIRMAN said it might be in the recollectionof many present, that at the meeting held on the 23d of May last, it was decided (he might almost say unanimously) that that Company should dissolve, and that decision the directors had in the most prompt and energetic manner acted upon. They proceeded at once to get the money which was deposited in the Accountant-General's hands, and they were on the point of obtaining it, when Mr. Kensington Lewis and Mr. Gilbert applied for, and obtained an injunction from the Lord Chancellor. The directors, under these circumstances, could not help themselves; they however took measures, and that decision was reversed. They subsequently obtained possession of the money, and they were disposed, nay deter mined to give it up at the earliest moment and to the fullest extent—(Cheers)—that events adruitted—in 24 hours at least—(Continued cheering these gentlemen threw every impediment in the way of the directors—(Cries of " Shame ")—doubtless for their own purposes; in fact them was a letter which could be produced to show that private interests and not the- interests of the shareholders had dictated this conduct.—(Hear.) But he (the Chairman) did nat wish to dwell upon that subject. The result of the proceedings alluded to had, he was sorry to say, increased their legal expenses, but, as the matter now stood, they could not remedy that, however they might de plore it.—(Hear, hear.) They were met that day for a dis tinct purpose; the shareholders could only ascertain from the Act what their duties were; the directors knew what they were called upon to do, and he (the Chairman) was aware what was expected from himself. He would now, with the leave of the meeting, give an abstract of their financial posi tion. The finances were much the same as at last meeting, when he had the honour of addressing them. Their expenses, however, were as he had already stated, somewhat increased by the proceedings of Messrs. Lewis, Crane, and Gilbert. First of all there were the receipts, 97,300/. ; expenses for engineering, &e, 5,0001.; legal charges and local agents, &c., 7,7001. ; advertisements, printing, &c , 2,300/. ; mapping, engraving plans, &a., 5,9001. ; making, in round numbers, 20,9001. They proposed, therefore, that immediate distri bution of the sum of 63,7351., being 1/. 7s. 6d. to each share on 46,365 shares, should be made. This would show still a balance in favoar of the Company of 12,8701. Of this sum, 8,000/. had been handed over to the Manchester and Southampton Company, but that money was now in the hands of the bankers, under an order from the Court of Chancery. There also remained 4,8761. fur liabilities due to them, but the directors had still some claims upon them by different persons—Mr. Higgins, their engineer, for instance; three surveyors who were em ployed by him ; Mr. Crane, for a return of deposits; and Mr. Tassie, of Glasgow, for brokerage. Mr. Sykes, he was happy to inform them, had failed in the action which he had brought against him (Major Cooper) ,is Ch airman of the Company, fur moneys due to him by air. Higgins. It now only re mained for him to remind them, that in consequence of the requisition sent to him by Mr. Kensington Lewis and others the meeting was called on to decide whether or no the Com pany should dissolve, and whether that should be by act of bankruptcy or otherwise. He might be allowed to add, that many gentleman had sent in &aims fur 1/. 7s. 6d. per share, which would ere that time have been given but for the in terference of the gentlemen he had already mentioned. As soon as the decision of that meeting should be published, the directors were ready to pay, as the cheques were already filled up.—(Cheers.) Mr. Iticirann COYNE had come to that meeting determined to support an honest and hunourable board of directors against an uncalled-16r interference; but yet he could not conceal his dissatisfaction at the very large amount set down fur legal expenses. He thought that, afore this item was settled, it should be taxed by the Master. Mr. Dea-rox (a director) said the solicitor was the first to suggest that it should be so; and he was quite prepared to abide by the decision which plight be then come to. The CHAIRMAN said that the Aolicitor's own charges were 3,700 L, the reaniiiips 4300 x. beiD4 lot loch agente? rn 9 Premium. r• rl .£ s. d. 60 1000 3 4 1837 1838 1839 1840 1841 The division of profits is annual, and the next will be made in December of the present year.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years andten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will bo found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be In our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by th• availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the 11l e advantages on our off,pring to follow, and finally by the cultivation >l' our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

On Gonorrhma and Gleet, exemplifying the influence of a Scrofiflous or Scorbutic state of system in producing those Morbid Secretions, and showing that the true nature of their diseased action Is irritative, not inflammatory. Published by the Author, 90, Blackfriars-road, London ; and may be had of Johnston, 68, Cori hill; Starkie, 4, Strand; Sanger, ISO, Oxford•street ; and by order of all booksellers. NOTICES OF THE PRESS. From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between irritative' and inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having careffilly perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices of the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and stfely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks." From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un happiness in the married state, stud such a work as this may be the means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea lousies which sever the peace of families."
