Alt - ILA-ND TRUNK RAILWAY COMPANY 0.10 CANADA. MONTREAL, SEPT. 10. On Wednesday, at noon, the second annual general meeting of the stockholders in this company was held at sword's Hotel, Quebec—Benjamin Holmes, , vice-president, occupying the chair. The chairman having called upon the secretary to read the advertise ment convening the meeting, Mr. J. M. Grant, assistant secretary, proceeded to read the report of the directors, as follows : " The direct ors b eg t o su b m it their second annual report to the stockholders of the company. "The railway between Montreal and Portland continues in excellent order, and the line is in a state of solidity and efficiency that would justify trains being run at very high speed, whenever the development and increase of the through traffic may render such a course desirable. "The Quebec and Richmond section, which, at the in stance of parliament to accommodate the public, and from motives of policy, was opened at the commencement of last winter, had to be closed so soon as the absence of frost permitted ballasting to be conducted with facility ; it is now fully ballasted, and in such good order that the ex press train has accomplished the distance between Mon treal and Quebec, 168 miles, in 5 hours for the last two Months. " The number of passengers carried since the trains have been enabled to run regularly warrant the hope that when we command a better thoroughfare from the west, and the route becomes better known to the Americans, this section cannot fail to be highly remunerative. "At the date of the lastadvices from England 2,922,625/. sterling had been received on the A series of shares and debentures, leaving only 659,7751. sterling to receive on the issue of 'capital. " The next call of 21. 10s. per share, and of 10 per cent. on each class of bonds, will, in accordance, with the terms of the prospectus, be due and payable on Friday, the 12th day of October next? It will be remembered that a portion of the proposed capital of the company, amounting to 837,600/., in bonds and shares, was reserved for parties interested in the ex isting Canadian undertakings, who were considerej to tie • entitled to, and, under the existing circumstanees i might be expected to claim, the benefit of such reservation. Obvious causes, which shortly afterwards supervened, de feated this expectation, and no part of the reserve so ap propriated was taken up. It, therefore, became necessary to supply the defi ciency from other sources ; and application having, accord ingly, been made to the provincial Government of Canada for a further advance of province bonds to an extent cor responding with the deficiency so created ; an act, entitled ' An act for granting an additional Aid by Loan to the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada,' 18 Viet., cap. 17!, was passed in the late session of the Canadian Parliament, whereby the Governor-General was empowered to grant such aid to an amount not exceeding 900,0001. " Under the powers of this act, bonds will be granted to that amount at the rate of interest as borne by those already issued, and for a term of 25 years. The fund to be raised by these bonds is, however, expressly applicable only to works executed subsequently to the Ist May, 1.-55. " The directors have not hesitated to avail themselves of the assistance thus considerately and opportunely afforded, and they feel assured that in this they will have the ready concurrence and sanction of the shareholders. " On the one hand an additional preferential charge is created to the extent of interest upon that proportion of the amount reserved as before-mentioned, which, if the re serve had been taken up, would have been represented iii shares ; but, on the other hand, by means of the aid thus afforded, the directors have been able to effect arrangements for the common benefit of all concerned in the undertaking. " These have been embodied in a proposal for a supple mental agreement to be entered into between the English contractors (Messrs. Peto, Brc.ssey, Betts, and Jackson), to which the latter have assented, and of which an outline is now submitted to the shareholders for their approval. "It will be in their recollection, that in the report of the directors of the London board made in May, 1854, it was intimated that the contractors, in consideration of additional time being allowed for the execution of certain of the works comprised in their contracts, undertook that the shares and company's bonds of the B series should not be issued—the former before the let January, 1857, the latter before the Ist January, 1856. But the absorption of the large amount before adverted to in expenditure, not applicable to their contracts, and from which they de rived no benefit, justified some modification of this arrangement. " By the new arrangement now alluded to provision is first made for payment of the balance due to the contrac tors in respect of vorks certified up to the Ist May, 1855 ; and as no part of the new province bonds is available, :is has been said, for works executed before that time, this payment is to be made in B shares and B companfs bonds —two-thirds in bonds, and one-third in shares. " For the works to be actively prosecuted between St. Thomas and Toronto, estimated at 1,680,000/., the con tractors are to receive payment, one-half in cash and the remainder in equal proportions of B company's bonds and B shares, on which latter 121. 10s. is to be taken as paid, and out of the cash payments is to be deducted the inte rest payable by the contractors to the holders of bonds and shares according to the provisions of the original contract. " The contractors are to pay the interest upon any ex cess of the proportion of B company's bonds to B shares which may arise from the appropriation above mentioned, until such proportion is rectified by the farther issue to the contractors of B shares against works--the company undertaking that, not later than the Ist of September, 1856, they will sanction the execution of works sufficient to restore the due proportion. "No call is to be made on the B shares beyond the 121. 103., to be credited thereon, until after the Ist of May, 1857. " Should any extra works be required the contractors have agreed to accept payment in bonds and shares of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Company, calculated at par in . sterling, which bonds and shares the company hold to the extent of 200,0001., which are reserved as a provision for this purpose. "The contractors leave to the disposal of the direct ors the province bonds to which they are entitled under their original contract, and they will be credited from time to time with the premiums realised upon sales on such portion only of those bonds as shall be applicable to works exe cuted by them, as and when they are executed. "They consent to the suspension of the works from St. Thomas to Trois Pistoles, and from Belleville to Peter borough, until the Ist of September, 1856, at which date the company is to determine what portions of the sus pended works are to be proceeded with, and the company is to have the option of further suspending any of the above-mentioned works, on terms which the directors conceive to be fair and equitable. " The contractors also agree to a modification of the con tract for the Victoria Bridge. This arrangement will en able the directors to consider whether it is possible to adopt any more economical plan for its construction. It is un derstood that the present expenditure on that work is to be limited to 60,0001., that being the amount estimated 33 required for fulfilling existing arrangements with sub-con tractors. Should this estimate be exceeded, such excess is to be paid far in B shares ; and all future payments for the bridge, after the Ist of September, 1856, are to be made in B bond s and shares, in the prop or ti ons w hi c h will re main after g ivi ng effect to this arrangement. " They undertake to proceed actively with the works from Montreal to T oron t o, and from Quebec to St. Thomas: " The directors submit the foregoing arrangement to tho shareholders as, not only fair and equitable in itself, but as affording the beat remedy for contingencies which might have impeded the successful prosecution of their under taking, and they propose that a supplemental contract be executed in accordance therewith. " The works actively prosecuted are those from which the largest and earliest return is to be expected. Those which are suspended are the portions likely to be least re munerative. The diminished rate of progress of the work, on the Victoria Bridge is in accordance with a desire very generally expressed, and by concentrating the energies and resources of the contractors upon the other parts of the undertaking will expedite the completion of the main line of railway. It also affords an opportunity for considers tuna whether some plan of construction may not be devised, whereby all the advantages to be derived from completing this important link in the great chain of communication may be obtained at a less cha rge upon the undertaki ng . " The capital accounts submitted herewith show that the expenditure under that head to the 30th June last ateounts to 6,372,2961. Bs. 51, of which 1,722,155/ 153. id. was on account of the Montreal and Portland sec tion, including additional locomotive stock, &,c. M c. " 2,117,923/. 9s.

" The directors append hereto the reports of B . ic. ill. t Ross, the engineer of the company, and of Mr • Bid der, the general manager. By the former it 5 tw(l2lbe mile_,)seer that the section from Montreal to Brockville _ 3ft urn be ready for opening within a couple of mon th thapresent time, and from its perfect construction there will be no cause for re g retting its immediate use—th e wh tti of the materials used being of the best quality and ,work manship.i An ample supply of engines and carriages, f various kinds, now completed and erecting at the com pany's extensive work at Point St. Charles, will be in rea diness in due time. And from the latter it appears that ` the working expenses for the last half-year are a fraction over 11/. per mile per week ; but considering that it is the worst half-year, both in receipts and expenditure, the re sult is with less difficulty accounted for,, and it is still to be hoped that we shall be able to bring the working ex penses to within 101. per mile through the lower province, and every exertion will be made to do so. The trains now running are capable of earning double the present receipts without materially increasing the expenditure.' " At the close of the present year the arrangement made by the Great Western Railway Company under which the two companies have agreed to suspend their works west of Stratford and London in the direction of Sarnia, with the view of avoiding the construction of competing lines, will terminete- The directors will use thoir utmost endeavours to effect such an arrangement with the Great Western Company as will prevent competition, and be mutually advantageous to both companies, and they have the satis faction of being able to state that the contractors for the western • section of the Grand Trunk Railway aro prepared to co-operate with them in any plan that may be agreed psn. "In accordance with the terms of the amalgamation agreement, a ballot has taken place among the directors, by which the seats at the Canada board of Messrs. Rose,- Hinckes, and Holmes, and at the London board of Mr. 11.1 Wollaston Blake, have been declared vacant. "These gentlemen are eligible for re - election, and, bffer themselves accordingly. • " In accordance with a general wish expressed by the shareholders of the company, at a meeting held in London on the 20th of July, a report of the progress of the under taking and the accounts of the company will henceforth be issued each half-year. • " The capital and revenue accounts for the twelve months ending the 30th of June last are herewith sub mitted. (Signed) "B. HOLMES, Vice-President." The reports of Mr. A. M. weree and Mr. S.. .. 13idder the general manager, then read; and the Ac connts.for th e year ending 30th June last were submitted. The CuAinueN in moving the adoption of the report, said,—Gentlemen, you have heard the report read, a::d you have now had placed in your hand the accounts for the past 12 months. The detailig, or result 4, I should rather say, of the revenue accounts may not be exactly what the directors could have wished, but I am fully con vinced thasidt you will we do agre e with me i n thi n k ing that, all thin„ c ond, not show such very bad result. The p larnentable prevalence of cholera last year, an unpa ralleled depression throughout the province in the lumber trade, together with a general paucity of other exportable THE SUN) LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 21)_ leas; products, so far as we have gone this season, AVM, I feel convinced, fully account for the non-realisation of the traffic anticipations recently expressed. Every one at all conversant with Canadian commerce will understand, without any attempt on my part at elucidation, that the success of the Grand Trunk Railway depends mainly upon the capabilities of the upper section of our province and the vast productions of the teeming western states adjoining ; and that had the enterprise in which we are all engaged and so much interested been commenced at Toronto, and been worked eastward and westward from tbat city, with the same energy and tact with which it has been carried on in this section of the province, I feel as sured that the revenue accounts, as submitted to you this day, would have presented a very different aspect. lam happy, however, in being able to state to you that it is my firm conviction, backed as I am by the opinions of Mr. Ross and Mr. Bidder, that the worst has passed, and the corner is turned. (Cheers) Althoughour anticipations have not altogether been realised, I cannot help thinking that to some extent we can find a cause for congratula tion in the fact that since our operations commenced there has been a steady and gradual increase in our weekly receipts, and it affords me pleasure to tell you that the return for the past week was the highest yet issued, having reached the sum of 6,3941., and we may therefore confidently hope to show you some very satisfactory results the next time we meet, as there can be no doubt that these receipts will go on increasing in a larger ratio than they have even done during the past twelve months. (Hear, hear.) I look to the future with the most sangu i ne hopes. An un precedentedly good harvest has been and is being gathered in, which, while it supplies a traffic to the com pany, is also diffusing a spirit of energy and enterprise throughout the province; and the opening of the whole line of road, now promised so much sooner than was ori ginally provided, will, I trust, prove that the efforts of your directors have not been unavailing. I must now touch upon another point, in which I am sure every one in the province is more or less interested. Need I say I allude to the Victoria Bridge ? It is true that the construction of this gigantic undertaking will not be proceeded with so vigorously as was originally intended ; but such suspension, I am glad to say, is but temporary, it being considered that the main object contemplated last session, when the provin cial Parliament gave an additional guarantee of 90,0001., was the early completion of the road. To accomplish this, then, are all the energies of the company devoted ; but as the opinion of the president, which consider exhibits the feelings of the directors generally, on the subject of Victoria-bridge , may not be known to all present, with permission I will read an extract from a speech delivered by Mr. Ross, on the occasion of a meeting of the English shareholders, held in London on the 24th of July. (Hear, hear.) "Probably (says Mr. Ross) the point of greatest interest to the share holders in England was the discussion which had arisen with reference to the Victoria-bridge. It had been stated by many shareholders that the bridge, as contem plated, was a very costly structure, and that if the cost could be reduced it ought to be. Upon the latter notion he thought there would be no difference of opinion. When the contracts for this line were first entered into, the de sire was to obtain the construction of that important work at the least cost, and the opinion prevailed that the prin ciple of the Britannia Tube was the best that could be adopted for a bridge of the vast extent contemplated, because when once made it required no repairs ; it was not like a wooden structure which would require re building about every ten years, and the application of the suspension bridge upon wire cables for railway purposes had not been tried. However, since the erection of the suspension-bridge across the Niagara River, public at tention had been directed to the subject in England, and the question bad been pretty generally discussed whether they could not cheapen the coat of the Victoria-bridge. He held in his hand a memorandum from Mr. A. M. Ross, the engineer of the company, who paid a visit to the Niagara-bridge, and had several interviews with Mr. Roebling, who had superintended the erection of that bridge, and who, in fact, suggested the application of the suspension-bridge to railway purposes." The result was that Mr. A. M. Ross ascertained that the cost of the superstructure of the suspension -bridge at Niagara was 651. per lineal foot, whilst the cost of the superstructure of the Victoria Bridge was only 551. per lineal foot, making 101. in favour of the principle adopted by Mr. Stephenson, when be suggested the tube should be applied to the bridge at Montreal. Every intelligent person acquainted with the working of railways was aware of the great importance of having an unbroken communication between the various sections of the line, and the loss to such lines as had not unbroken communi cation must be apparent to all. There is also another subject to which I must briefly refer, as one of the ut most importance to this company, namely, the probabi lity of amicable arrangements with the Great Western Railway Company being concluded, by which com petition will be entirely precluded between these two great Canadian enterprises. The president and Mr. Hincks are both negotiating in England these arrange ments, and I hope shortly to hear that their efforts have been crowned with success. (Hear.) Just one word more. Another gratifying fact I have to communicate to you is the probability that the " big ship" of 25,000 tons will make her trial trip to Portland, as a prelin nary step to her being permanently placed upon that station, should the traffic (which I am sure it will) demand it. Such an event is of the greatest importance to the Grand Trunk Railway, and I sincerely hope that no effort on our parts will be wanting likely to insure this event taking place ; and, gentlemen, all things considered, I think I may venture to congratu late the shareholders on their prospects. (Hear.) I beg to move that the report now read, and the accompany ing accounts submitted, be approved and confirmed, and that a copy thereof be sent to each shareholder. The Hon. PETER M‘GILL seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. ' Mr. J. GIBBS moved, and Mr. LEMESTMER seconded : —" That it is further resolved, that a report, containing a statement of the affairs of the company, be made half. yearly, and be transmitted to the London board of di• rectors, for the information of the English shareholders." —Carried. Mr. J. M. GRANT having read the heads of the pro posed supplemental contract, Mr. HUGH ALLAN moves, and Mr. ATKINSON se conded—" That the arrangement made with the English contractors, of which the heads are set forth in the report read to this meetine., be and the same is hereby approved and confirmed."—Carried. The Hon. G. E. CARTIER moved, and Mr. WHITTE MORE seconded :—" That the proceedings of the London directors, in reference to the additional aid offered to this company under the provincial act 18th Viet., c. 174, be and they are hereby confirmed to all intents and purposes, and the conditions and provisions of the said act are hereby accepted."—Carried. Mr. D. R. STUART proposed, and Mr. ATKINSON seconded : " That the Hon. John Ross, Hon. F. Hincks, and B. Holmes, Esq., for the Canada b oar d, an d H. Wollaston Blake, Esq., for the London board, he re-elected directors of the company."—Unanimously carried. The election of auditors was then proceeded with, Messrs. Allan, Dow, and Bouthilli er being unanimouslyelected, an d a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedingii. The crops are now nearly all gathered in, and prove to be the most luxuriant we have had for years. The reports, as mentioned above, had stimulated trade, and we fully expect a very- large fall business. 7NTRaIGENCE. NORTHALLERTON RACES. -THURSDAY.

We quote the following letter and remarks from Bell's Life: — Sir,—The bard knocks inflicted upon you by me don't seem to have made any impressior upon you ; therefore I think you have nothing to complain of. You retain your opinion as to the cause of Rifleman's defeat, and so do I also ; and as it will never come to light in our time which is the correct one, it must always remain in doubt. I never attempted to persuade you that Rifle. man was beaten on his merits. I shall always believe that when he is quite fit and sound no horse can beat him of his age, nor any °Utter horse weight for age. It may appear strange to you, unacquainted with the science of the veterinary practice, that he was lame imme diately after the St. Leger, and sound when he ran on Friday for the Don Stakes ; but such is the fact, and on reference to my letter you will find Mr. Spooner can corroborate my assertion. I told you in my former letter that I had not the management of Rifleman, there• fore you ought to put the saddle on the right horse." A gentleman is always in. the band of his trainer and jockey and must trust to them, and is not accountable to the public for their conduct. You ask " whether the oldest matt on the Tun" ever remembers any horse of mine winning when I declared. he could not lose?" It seoms'more strange that 1 never hit the right nail on the head once in the thirty-five years I have kept race horses than that Rifleman's infirmity should fluctuate in forty-eight hours. I tsm only surprised that, as I have deceived the public so long, they should trust me up to the 21st of this mouth, having been asked by twenty persons whether I thought Rifleman and Claret would win their engagements this week.—Yours, &c., GEORGE OSBALDESTON. "The Squire" is at last coming round to our way of th inking, and agrees with ns that Rifleman was not beaten on' his merits for the St. Leger. This, what we said before, worepeat, and regret that the real cause will "never come 'to light." We are fully aware that " The Squire" had not the management of the horse for the St. Leger, and %,s we never even insinuated that he was privy to his de ft sat, ; Mr.. Osbaldeston, especially when he himself a( lmits there was a cause, ought not to complain of our giving expression to what was nothing more than ,the ge `neral opinion. It is no easy task to shat the mouths of the public, especially when, in discussing Rifleman's de feat for the St. Leger, his extraordinary performance in the Criterion, and Claret's still more unaccountable del bat,by the Poor Player, at Ascot, were comparatively yo p r l c aetahrseeuersret a s . t o La h e g a s ep v ro e rat c se h ma r o av i n n i i , nc andlde. d u p ‘ w ‘ t T eo The beg to nt q o u o i a ss r t e s ' e s ux : fre: tth in thei r reco ll ection I It would have afforded us d L i r n : ' s a a :f t ' e r a B h u o i m that • if he can su ccee d in " putting the saddle on the right horse" our columns shall be at his disposal.

The Malacca, 17, screw, Capt. Farquh a r, a rr i ve d y es . terday morning at Spithead, from Lisbon. She has no news of interest except the confirming of RoFamond's account of the festivities and doings in honour of the young monarch's birthday and corning of age. Grand dinners and balls were frequent, and a general invitation was given to the British officers to dine at the palace, where they were honoured by marked notice from his Majesty. The ships illuminated and burnt coloured lights trom the mastheads and yards. Altogether there has not been such a display or such rejoicing for the last 40 years. The King and suite came down to Black Horse-square purposely to view the grand and novel sight of the British squadron being illuminated. The Sanspareil, 70, screw, alter having assisted in the honours, sailed on the 19th for the Black Sea. The Neptune and St. George are likely to winter at Lisbon. The Penelope, 18, paddle-wheel frigate, Capt. Sir W. Wiseman, Bart., left Spithea 1 yesterday afternoon for Sheerness, to disembark the 91st Regiment. The Rosamond, 6, Commander Crofton, is expected back to Spithead, from the eastward, with supernume raries and munitions of war, and is likely to sail for the Blpck Sea immediately. The Faith steam transport arrived at Spithead yester day from Plymouth, and sailed in the evening for the Thames. The Blazer, No, 20, mortar-vessel, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the eastward. The Urgent steam troop-ship, Commander Phillips, hauled alongside Portsmouth dockyard yesterday to prepare for the em barkation of troops for the East. The sailing-transport Collingwood, 750 tons burden, has arrived at Woolwich, with the Baalbee, No. 89, 838 tons and 160-horse power, and the Scamandre, 731 tons and 180-horse power. They have taken up their moorings off the Arsenal wharf, for the purpose of embarking huts, carts, winter clothing, and other military appurtenances and stores for the Laud Transport Corps in the Crimea. The Jackal], No. 27, screw-transport, left Woolwich on Thursday with a cargo of about 500 tons of shot and ammunition and a few guns and gun carriages. She went down to Greenhithe for the adjustment of their compasses, and will put to sea thence to-day for the Crimea. An experimental 8-inch mortar (rifle bored) will be tried to-day, from the sea battery fronting the Ex cellent, to show if any superiority is gained over the old mortar in range. The said mortar has been supported by iron collars, or rings, outside of all. The trial will be made for the purpose of proving the advantage of the rifle bore and iron bindings, as described. The rings are placed over the mortar whilst heated, and as it cools the iron, as a matter of course, contracts, and is supposed to be proof against any amount of charge of powder or plugging. Yesterday an inspection of Horse Artillery, of six com plete batteries and some half batteries, the latter consist ing of recruits, under junior instruction, took place on the common at Woolwich, where some officers and non commissioned officers and a portion of each regiment gar risoned at Woolwich were likewise paraded, in order to attract the numerous volunteers who were expected to join. The Tower Hamlets Militia were likewise mus tered for the purpose of giving the men to understand that they were at liberty to enrol themselves in any par ticular corps suitable to their choice. The men were ordered to march round in slow and quick time. On the arrival of Col. Wood, of the Guards, from London, the sergeants formed in a body to the right, and the men were again deployed, and after a few manceuvres they halted, and were addressed by Col. Dixon, who spoke highly of their soldier-'ike qualities, and intimated to them the superiority the Guards possessed over other re giments ; but the Marines on this occasion were the favoured corps, and received no less than 80 volunteers. The iron screw steamer Jura will embark about 1,000 troops at LiVerpool on Monday. These will comprise : Four officers and 89 non-commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery; 10 or 12 officers and 450 from various regiments ; Lieut. Potts, of the 11th Hu§sars—all fer the Crimea, as well as Lieut.-Col. Bacon and ten other offi cars of the Berkshire Militia ; Capt. Wragg, 8 other officers, and 280 men of the Royal Artillery ; and 4 offi cers and 160 men of the Horse Artillery, for Corfu. Two regiments of the British German Legion and one of the British Swiss Legion are expected in Cork from Hythe. It is believed that they will be draughted to various garrisons in the county of Cork. _ _ The Westmeath Militia havefurnished numbers of vo lunteers for the line. They were open for volunteering five days, during which time upwards of 200 gave in their names for her Majesty's regular forces. Only 67 of these, however, passed the regimental inspection. These volunteers were thus distributed :-34 for the 88th Con- naught Rangers, 19 for the 40th, 11 for the 14th, 1 for the 2d Queen's, 1 for the 53d Regiment, and 1 for the 11th Hussars. of se. hi the pound, payable at 45, Geoilee.i•Lesot, ter, on Tuesday, Oct. 23, and any subsequent Tuesday.

MANSLAUGHTER NEAR YARILOUTH.—On Tuesday Mr. Pilgrim, coroner, held an inquest at Caister, near Yar• mouth, on the body of Robert Green, of the former place, who IKI been killed by a blow struck by J. Underwood, a bricklayer. It appeared from the evidence that de ceased had been drinking with other men on Saturday night, at the King's Arms, Caister. All of them left the horse about 12 o'clock, and were standing outside, when Underwood came up with two of his brothers, one of whom asked for a l u cifer-match, on which a little "jangling" ensued, and ultimately Underwood struck deceased a violent blow on the head, knocking him down. Green was taken up insensible, and so he remained until Sunday evening, when he died. Underwood, according to the statement of a witness, seemed a good deal under the influence of liquor at the time of the unfortunate oc currence. The jury consulted, and returned a verdict of mans l a ughter against Joseph Underwood, but the pri soner had been previously co mm itt e d b y th e mag i s t ra t es on the c harge of wilful murder. [AnvEausemENT.]—Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food invariably restores health, without medicine, inconve nience, or expense, as it saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and removes indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, cough, asthma,; consumption, and debility. We extract a few out of 50,000 testimonials of cures, which had resisted all medicines. Cure No. 4,208. —Eight years' dyspepsia, nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms, and nausea, have been effectually removed by Du Barry's delicious food in a very short time.—Rev. John W. Flavell, Ridlington Rectory, Norfolk. From the Dowager Countess of Castlestuart.--Cure 52,612.—Rosstrevor, County of Down, Ireland, 9th December, 1854.—The Dowager Countess of Castlestuart feels induced, in the interest of suffering huma nity, to state that Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food has cured her, after all medicines had failed, of indigestion, bile, great nervousnessand irritability of many years' standing.
