This important organ, so liable to disorder, can always be regulated by Holloway's Ointment and Pills. The former, rubbed on the right side over the region of the live; upon which it exercises the most salutary influence without harassing the stomach or the bowels—a matter frequently of vital importance—confers on this remedy an advantage over every form of medicine in the Pharmacopoeia ; when assisted by the pills, every disease is speedily su bj ec t e d and effectually banished.

GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN. A Wharucliffe meeting of this company was 'rid in Glasgow on Wednesday, Sir A. Orr in the chair, to consider the Union Railway Bill now before Par liament, by which the company were authorised to subscribe £140,000 to the Union undertaking, in addition to the £300,000 they had already contri, buted. The CHAIRMAN having moved the approval of the An amendmentwas proposed by Mr. J. JEFFRAY, to the effect that the meeting be adjourned pending, the circulation among the shareholders of furthizr information respecting the position of the Union. Company. In the course of some discussion which ensued, the Secretary made a statement which seemed. to be satisfactory to the majority of the shareholders pre sent ; and, when the question came to a vote, the motion for the approval of the bill was carried by 95 to 25. WEST FLANDERS. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office in Moorgate-street ; Mr. R. T. Frere in the chair. Mr. F. Smith, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an ab stract of which has appeared in The . Sun, was taken as read. Thd CHAIIINIAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said on the whole he thought it was satisfac tory. The question in dispute between the original and preference shareholders was decided on Wed nesday last at Bruges by three arbitrators appointed by the Tribunal of Commerce. The decision was in favour of the holders of original shares. He hoped that the question which had caused agitation for some time past would now be set at reef for ever. At the last meeting the directors bad intimated that if the balance available for dividend should give more than Bs. 9d. per share for the year they would consider it their duty to pay it to the ori ginal shareholders until they received 12s. 2d. per share, which would be 5 per cent. on the whole amount paid up on the original capital. A large preference shareholder, Mr. St. Burke, who was well acquainted with railway matters, raised the question on the part of the preference shareholde rs. The directors gave him every facility to investigate the matter, and it was arranged to submit the ques tion to arbitration as provided by the statutes. The Tribunal of Commerce of Bruges appointed three arbitrators. The counsel appointed by Mr. Burke ably argued the case for the preference shareholders, and another Belgian counsel argued the case for the orginal shareholders; but the decision was given on Wednesday last in favour of the latter. It would compel them toestablish a reserve fund, which would be a good thing for the company. With regard to the report of the directors there was an available balance of £7,034, out of which they proposed to pay a dividend of 4s. 9d. per share, which, with 4s. 6d. paid in the first half of the year, would make 9s. 3d. per share for the year 1866. This dividend was not likely to Mr. E. V. RICHARDS, a director, seconded the mo tion for the adoption of the report. Mr. HERAPATH said he would be glad to see the case that had been laid before counsel. He was a large shareholder, and the decision of the arbitrators was contrary to the conclusion he had arrived at. The question had been submitted to gentlemen well acquainted with legal matters, and they had come to a similar conclusion to the one he entertained. According to the recent decision the preference shareholders would not participate in the surplus above 5 per cent. fora very long time to come. The CHAIRMAN said there would be no s urplus to divide between the original and preference share holders until the original shareholders received 5 per cent. dividend on £l2 3s. per share ; but if the com pany prospered the preference shareholders would get a share of the surplus iu 1871, when the rent would rise to £36,000 a year. Mr. IIERAPATII said he took 200 of the preference shares on the recommendation of their former presi dent., Mr. Richards, who pointed out to him the advantage of the preference shares participating in the surplus after paying 6 per cent. on the ordinary shares on which £8 15s. had been 'paid up. The CHAIRMAN said it was quite possible that Mr. Richards had taken that view of the relative posi tion of the two classes of shares at that time, but the tribunal to which the question had been referred had decided otherwise, a nd he was glad that it was now settled. After some farther observations the report was una nimously adopted , t he dividend share was approved , and on the motion o r. • of . 9J vote pser concluded the pro to the chairman a nd directors Goe ro te of thanks Herapath, seconde d b y Mr. ceedings.
