EYEBItOW3 MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of G ST ONE'S AROMATIC rt P. GENERA TOR. If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an 11 s. bottle of Gemstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This Is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bury, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may bo read inhis pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receitring a post-office order for 4s. Gd., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The I Is. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. STOCK EXCHANGIL—Business on our Stock Exchange was at a stand-still to-day. There was absolutely nothing doing, and prices had a downward tendency. Midland Stoock was reduced in a greater degree than any other, but there were no purchasers. The proceedings at Derby had a depressing effect. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye finuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous llerulach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by 'ferries, Esq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE GREAT NORTHERN. A general half-yearly meeting . of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at the London Ta vern, Bishopsgato-stree•, Mr. Edmund Denison, M.P. (chairman of the board of directois) in the chair. On the CHATamAri moving that the seal of the com pany be affixed to the registered shares which had been entered since tLe last half-yearly meeting, Mr. PRESTON objected to its being done, and alleged as a reason that he had made application at the offices of the company for an inspection of the register, and had been refused. Mr. BAGSTER (the solicitor of the company) sr.id that the Act of Parliament required the registra tion of the shares to be sealed in order to utt:st that the gentlemen present at that meeting were share holders. The'ertAinmAN observed that unless Mr. Preston could point out some irregularity in the record ( f the shares and shareholders, there was no ground fur the objection he had taken. After considerable discussion the question drop it being understood that a resolution on the sulject. 4 mulct be subsequently proposed. Mr. Moven., the secretary, then read the following report:— "In the autumn of last year that portion of the line Which completes the railway communication with Lin colnshire, Lancashire. and the West Riding of York shire was opened for itraffic• and the Great Northern trains have since that -P e ri o d been running between Peterborough (via Lincoln and Doncaster), Wakefield, and Leeds. In the course of next month the short branch from Knottingley to Burton Salmon, near Ferry-bridge, will be opened for traffic, thereby completing the communication between Donca:tter and York and the north. " At Leeds convenient station accommodation has been secured, and the necessary, buildings are in progress. "A portion of the South Yorkshire Railway was secently opened to Doncaster, and the Great 'Northern trains have commenced carrying coals from that district. From the excellent quality of tbese coals, and the re duced price at which they can ba supplied on the Great Northern line, a large traffic must remit. Suitable ar rangements are in progrtss at all the• stations fa the development of this traffic. " From the engiu eer's printed report it appears that the line between London and Peterborough'may be con fidently expected to be open for traffic in August next. The works of the London and other stations to Peter borough bare beon contracted for by public tender on satisfactory terms—the plans for the buildings being tf a plain and substantial character. 6' A contract for the fifteen mil:* from Corby by Grant ham to Houghatn, on which occur rather heavy works, requiiiii,g a longer I time to complete than the rest of the towns, _ism, has tracestk,t_;,ct Mr. Jackson who has ac tively commenced• operations. The remtundor of that lino, from the loop junction, north of Peterborough to Corby, and north of Hougham to Thetford—together about 44 miles, and comparatively light works—will be let so as to be ready for traffic at the same time as the 15 miles abovemeatione 1, and the directors expect to see t►.e whole of these works accomplished in the course of next year. _ _ " .11y the balance-sheet, sent out to the proprietors on the 20th inst., of the capital received and expended to the 31st of D;cember, 1849, it is shown that 5,406,1571. was the•sum expended, and the company having powers to raise capital to the amount of 8,284,8001., a balance of 2,891,277/. remained at that date to meet the (xist ing liabilities of the company, and the further cost a contitructing the works and providing additional plant. Whether such balance will be sufficient fir all these purposes is a question often asked by the proprietors, and one that has engaged the constant attention of the directors. The total amount of liability on existing contracts for works, land, and materials on 189 miles of railway, 1,554,6324; to provide additional working stock, 340,0001.; works to complete East Lincolnshire, 25,0001.; cost of Stamford and Wisbeach Railway, 77,0001.; total, 2,302,6321.; balance applicable to the construction of th© remaining 44 miles of the TOWllb ' line,' 576,011/. " As these works are not costly, the directors conclude that any further capital requilei will be of inconsider able amount. "It appears from the statement of accounts that tho balance of net profits remaining in the hands of the cumrany amounts to the sum of 15,6341. 89. " The director 9 recommend that out of that sum, 10,0001. be appropriated to meet the dividend upon pre: ference shares, being 6s. 10d. per share, or at the rate of five per coat, per annum thereon, the same to be paid after the 31st of March next, in the manner explained on the coupon attached to the scrip. I.l,f)re the general meeting in August next, the conditions will have been complied with under which five per cent. interest has been hitherto paid out of capital upon the registered shares of the company; the directors, therefore, think it right thus early;to intimate their intention to cease to pay interest out of capital after the current half-year, viz,, the 30th of June next. " This is the period at which one of the auditors re tires, and Mr. J. Chapman is in rotation to go out of office; and being eligible, offers himsef for re-election. " The report on the state of the company's accounts, made by Mr. Chapman and his colleague, Mr. Cattley, and published with these accounts, it is hoped will be satisfactory to the shareholders. " With reference to the important subject of an audit of railway accounts, the directors beg to leave it in the hands of the proprietors, and they suggest that a com mittee of three or five, t.) be chosen by the proprietors from the general body, be appointed to act on behalf of this company with similar committees from other rail ways. Towards the religious instruction of the labourers to be employed on the works on the towns line, con tracted for by Mr. Jackson, he is willing to contribute a sum equal to that which the company may subscribe; the directors, 'therefore, recommend to the meeting that for this laudable purpose the sum of 100/. be voted. " With the intention of adopting the strictest economy in all departments of the company, the directors recom mend that the salary ef the secretary be reduced from 600/. to 6001. per annum. " The gentlemen farming the fourth of the board re quired to retire annually in rotation, are—the Hon. Oc tavius Duncombe, M.P.; Mr. Richard Ellison; Mr. VPilliaun Mountford Nurse; and Mr. Francis Parker. In consequence of the state of his health, Mr. Nurse does not offer himself for re• election; but the three other gentlemen being eligible, offer themselves, and are recom mended by the board for se-election as directors. "It has been intimated to the'directors that it would be satisfactory to the proprietors to introduce into the board some additional gentlemen, who with commercial experience and business habits, hold a large interest in the undertaking. They therefore suggest that the fo'- lowing gentlemen, viz., Mr. Graham Hutchison. Glasgow; Mr. Charles Attieus Monk, Newcastle; Mr. Isaac Bur kill, Leeds; Mr. George Humphrys, Lemore, Eardisley, Hereford, be elected directors. The CHAIRMAN then said, that as the report was already in the hands of the proprietors, it would not be necessary for him to occupy their attention at any great length. The wish of the directors was, that their ac counts should be kept in a clear, intelligible, and honest manner, and he believed tbey had Tann so kept. It was his opinion that it was quite as competent to any ac countant appointed by the company to adopt a system cf audit as intelligible and satisfactory as any that could be devised by a Government officer. The question which the meeting had to consider was, whether the balance of capital in hand would be sufficient to carry into effect all the objects which the company had in view. That b - lance amounted to 570,000/. That would nearly com plete the line from Peterborough to East Retford. If the proprietors desired that the line from Doncaster to York, a distance of 26 miles, should be made, that would require 500,0001. more. Therefore, 1,000,000/. o f a dditional capi tal would be mo re than sufricient to complete their line to York. There was no point on which he would more readily stake his character than that with far less than 1,000,0001. of additional capital they could arrive at York upon their own line.—(Hear.) At a future period, therefore, he should feel it his duty to ask their pernais -4i911 tco 9tPtglii Eton r§divalo6 pro; 69 nio9 Rua., With regard to stopping the payment of interest to the shareholders after the 30th of June next, he was well aware it would operate severely on some of the proprie tors; but the directo rs f e l t th ey were not justifiel is con tinuing to pay interest out of capital beyond that time. The proprietors mu-t aft 4. that period take their chance of a dividend. With respect to the questi,:n of audit, he thought that an andit bill vies very de,irable for the public at large, and was as necessary for the protection of the directors as it was for the shareholders. But he believed a system of audit might be framed that would be perf,ctly satisfactory without the assistance or inter ference of Government.—(Hear, hear.) A Government auditor ought not to b. 3 allowed to interfere with the commercial transactions i f the country so long as the directors cf those commercial undertakings cc:ed honegly, which he LeLeved from this time forward they would do.—(llear.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving, that the report be read end adopted. Mr. GRAIJADI iiIITCUISON moved by way of amaid• " That the report be received the addition of these words:—` That the line between Askern and York be contracted fur forthwith, and be completed IN fire the works on the line between Peterborough and East Ret ford were proce2ded with further." The lion. Gentleman entered into a very long stat-ment to show the many and great advantages that would ac crue to the company by th e f ormation of the line (being 26 miles in extent) from Askern to York. He admitted that it would requre further capital, which it would be n-cessary to raise on preferential stock; but his estimate was, that the savings which would be effected by avoid ing travelling over the lines of two other companies (which they were now obliged to do) in order to arrive at York, end the profits that would be derived from the traffi3 on the additional 26 miles (which would save a circuitous route of some miles), would more than com pensate any charge that would be incurred by raising capital by way of such preerential shares. He esti mate I the cost at 468,0001. The traffic of the 26 miles at 60/. a mile per week, 81,1201.; the expense of work ing at 20/. e. mile per week, 27,0401. The 6 per cent. on the 468,0001. weuld7;b 4 W - 04 8 1; 4 ' 1 F4:111419* surplus of 26,000/. By ma k ing t ese mi es # ,co9s pang would become independent of the York and North Midland Company, but if they stopped cst Askerri their traffic would bo at the mercy of that company. Captain HALL seconded the amendment. • The CHAIRMAN consider e d th e preseht amendment of his Hon. Friend to be ih direct oolitradiption to his mo tion of August - last, when he earnestly recommended the directors to expedite the construction of the section line, callel the Town's line, from Peterborough. to Retford. His present proposition Was that those works should be stopped.—(No,. no!) This would suspend-any profit from the money already laid oUt upon the Town's line. He would not d:.ny the benefit to be derixed from ex tending the line to York. The company had the power of Making that extension. The present arrangement for running over a portion of two other companies' lines could not be unprofitable to the Great Northern Com pally; at the same time' he did contend that that ar rangement should be' Permanent.—(llelr, hear,) lnately they might carry the line on to York; but fir ilia. present 11,, believed the directors hal acted juili ciensly in getting powers to run over other lines to York, that they might in the meantime apply their capital to Completing other portions of the line.—(Cheers.) The time for considering whether fiither capital should be raised to form the' line from Askern to York would be when the direct)rs asked leave to apply to Parliament to raise capital for that and other purposes, which would be about this time next year. Ho hoped, therefore, for the sake of consistency, the meeting would reject the amendment. Mr. WATERS contended that the company was using the Lancashire and Yorkshire line and the York and North Midland line at a loss. Mr. ANDIIB supported the amendm9nt; and on being asked by a shlreholder whether he was not a landowner on the projec'ed line, he admitted that he was. This occasioned mach" mirth, but which by no means discon certed the Hon. Proprietor, who continued to address the meeting for a considerable time amid.t the greatest pos sible uproar. Mr. G. Ifurcurscil denied th© inconsistency which had been imput to him by the chairman. He had in tended :till to urge the continuance of the Town's line, but he altered his intention solely on account of the ruin ous system which was pursued by the directors of pay ing the contractors by debentures at 6 per cent. interest, instead of in cash. The amendment was then put and negatived. Mr. G. HurenisoN demanded a poll, which was f.r some time proceeded with during the other business of the mcetinr, but the scrutineer nominated on the part of Air. Hutchison fin Ally retired from it. Mr. FREED3DY then moved a second amendment, to the effect that the report be received, and a committ e of consultation be appointed from the shareholders, with power to inquire into the past and proposed transactions of the company, with a view to report to the proprietors as to the amount of capital required to complete the works nos' in progress, and as to the utility or necessity ofondertakiug more hereafter. Ile believed that the contmets Irecd-y irmed- involved-more than a mil:ion of liabilities, from which they would not derive a far thing advantage; and the probability was that in the end upwards of another million of capital would be required, promising as little return as the First. No man at the present moment could tell what was the monetary position of the company or what the extent of their liabilities. The experience of the North Ste ford-hire and other companies ought to operate as a NI wiling to themselves. TI o Hon. Gentleman was pro ceeding to show how profitless were the whole concerns of the company, when A SHAREHOLDER observed that the object of the speaker evidently was to depreciate the value of the shares.—(Great confusion.) The amendment having been seconded, The CHAIRMAN said he had not the slightest objec tion to the appointment of a committee. If the proprie tors did not voluntarily confide in the directors he would rather be without their confidence altogether. Bat he really could not see what could be gained by adopting the amendment. The object had been in fact anticipated. Without attributing to the Hon. Proprietor an intention of th crying their property, ho feared that what ho bad done would have that effect. The amendment was then put and negatived. A poll being demanded, it was referred to he scruti neers previously appointed. Mr. fluciiEs then moved the following amendment:— " That the present system of auditing railway ac counts was objectionable, and that the meeting was fa vourable to a pure system of Government audit." Fie believed that the object of the promoters of the audit bill which had been prepared was to stave off the ques tion fur another year; and unless the shareholders inter fered, and obtained the protection of Government they would never be secure. Dr. REILLY seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN observed that Mr. Hughes was the first person he had heard declare that the only safe audit was a Government audit. The Government had no wish to interfere if the railway companies would show them a plan by which a clear, intelligible, and independent audit could be accomplished. The amendment was then negatived.' Mr. PRESTON then moved— " That the register of shares be open fJr the in spection of shareholders at all proper and seasonable times." After a very lengthened discussion the motion was agreed to.—(tireat cheering.) 'The CHAIRMAN then moved— " That Mr. Francis Parker be re-elected a director, and that the following gentlemen be added to the direc tion:—Mr. G. Hutchison, Mr. C. A. Monk, Mr. J. Burkill, and Mr. G. Humphrys." Mr. G. HUTCHISON moved as an amendmen►. " That Mr. Alexander Glasgow, who held 3,000 251. shares; Mr. I'. Dunn, who held 1,250 251. shares; Mr. Monk, holding 500 shares (but whose father, Sir Charles Monk, held 3,000 25/. shares); and himself (Mr. G. Hutchison), as the holder of 3,384 25/. shares, be ap• pointed directors in the room of the four gentlemen who retired by rotation." The respective merits of these gentlemen were fully scrutinizes by the meeting, and after some ♦ery ani mated speeches, the proposition of the Chairman was acceded to; so that the directors' list was finally adopted. The report as amended was then received, adopted, and ordered to be printed. A dividend upon preference shares, being 6s. 10id. a share (or at the rate of five per cent. per annum), was then agreed to; the same to be paid after the 31st of March inst. A committee of three shareholders was then appointed to confer with the committees of other railway compa nies on the subject of audit. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. We understand that the directors of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway Company, at their meeting yesterday, resolved to recommend to their shareholders, at the general meeting to be held on the 6th proximo, to declare a dividend at the rate of 2i per cent. per annum f , r the half-year ending 31st January last.—Glasgow Daily Mail. are TRE BRITANNIA BRIDGE.—The permanent longi tudinal beam'', along which tho rails placed, and visitors may pass from aidoettuobes for sake of variety, if in the climbing difficulty, returning over the tops o f mood.th will l ide ru without We visited the rtahege. tube, and the steam engine required f works on Wednesday last , and were politely conducted through arid over the tubu lar ponderous machinery in use when raisin g thehy er d s ra in uli t c ho pr p t, s; w a tur d e being taken downorfrcohmar g tl t i n e g cliamb there seemed little remaining to be done teyond laying The formal opening of the immense iron gthaellerray rails. will not be tit ferred, it is asserted, beyond the second or third week in March; but experimental trains will pass and repass much sooner than the period named. —North Wales Chronicle.

LIVERPOOL, Fyn. 28.—We have thi s d a y r eceived advices from New York to the Bth inst. inclusive, by the arrival of the packet-ships Albert, Granada, and I.

The Crescent City had arrived at New York, bringin g a mont h' s l ater news f rom C a lif orn i a. In th ese accounts we learn t h at the B oundary Camtnis s i ooers h ad term i nated the i r labours in Cali fornia, and that the head of the commission was about to return to the United States, The rebuilding of the burned district of San Fran. cisco bad been commenced, and was progressing with unusual rapidity. A movement bad also been set on foot to establi h a free school in that city. A large bed of anthracite coal had been dim.overcd between the Sseramen'o River and Skitters Creek. Large bands of squatters were taking possession of the land in the Mission of Dolores, which was held b3r the Mexicans under p rev i ous grants, and much ex citement was occasioned by their proceedings. D'sturhanecs had broken out in the mines between the Chilenos and the American-, and it was feared that the disagrceme.nt would he cf a serious nature. Robberies were being perpetrated on the Isthmus by the natives. General Rey has published a proclamatiln, in which he recognised the rvw colstitution and govern. ment of Cllifornia ; but exception had been taken to a pution of is manifesto, which, whilst it advised the exclusion of black labour, would admit convicts from New South 'Wales. In consequence of the recent loss of life by the steam-boiler explosion at New York, notce ~f a measure had been given in the Legislature to provide for the security of boilers. We have nothing new from Canada. Commercial advices possess no new feature.

A farce called Hot and Cold was produced at this theatre last night. It is as slight as it is extravagant, turning upon the practical revenge of a pugnacious milliner, xvho, having been required to quit her arEtrtments against her will, takes away her landlord's clothes while he is indulging in the luxury of a bath behind a curtained recess. liis servant, by a similar process, is reduced to the same predicament, and the humour of the piece consists in the pair —the one shivering and the other parboiled—looking out in agony from opposite sides through the folds cf the drapery, while the bride elect of the landlord is awaiting her swain in front. The farce is thus of the broadest hue, a n d i s we ll ca l cu l a t e d to elicit mer riment from those members of an audience who are not over particular as to their sources of pleasure. It is embodied by Mr. Ray, Mr. Furman, Miss Sanders, and Miss Somers. ENGLISH AND FOREIGN PRELATES. To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Siu,—Having resided several years in Italy, and so journed many months together in its principal cities, I had an opportunity of making inquiries into the reve nues of the prelates in that country. You will, perhaps, be surprised, as I was myself, tl he se that all the bishoprics in the patrimony of 6t. Peter (excepting the bhhopric of Rome), and they are very numerous, amount to less in ialue than the single bishopric of Lon&Je. The prelate who occupies that see (or rather regalia}) cannot deny that in sixteen years he bac received from it one million sterling. No incon siderable share of this enormous sum accrued to him after the Reform Bill, and after the formation of the Ecclesia3tical Cummi!sion, in which, although an inte rested party, he did not hesitate to take his place Mr. Iforsman has exhibited the conduct of the Go vernment and cf the bishops in that affair. It is to be regretted that he has been in some degree thwarted in his laudable expoce. National indignation will, however, compel the House of Commons to make renewed and searching inquiries into the intrigues and intricacies of a mammon-loving, and I fear, crumbling church. Crumbling only, because in her system she is " cf this world. Lam, Sir, your obeitent Servant, VER A X. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
