SMITH'S FLUID EXTRACT OF T• AND H. Vacuo, sold in Bottle s a t This is a pure Extract of Senna, in a high state o f 2s. 6.d. E ss N ., N a A nd I p O r s e . p e n a r c e h d . in perfection, prepared in Vacuo. It is an efficient and easy purgative, in small doses ; those for adults even s eldom exeeeding one or two teaspoonfulls, and produces no sickness or griping in its operation. Not only are the nauseous taste and smell corrected, but the taste is ren dered positively agreeable and inviting ; consequently, with this preparation, the difficulty attending the giving of Senna to children is entirely removed. Instead of the loathing which the bulky dose of the ordinary Senna Tea produces, the Fluid Extract of Senna is taken by them with the greatest readiness, and even with a relish. The following complimentary testimonial has been vo luntarily published by Dr. Christison, the distinguished Professor of Materia Medica in the Edinburgh University : The Fluid Extract of Senna is now used very largely in this city, (Edinburgh,) and by many medical practi tioners, as well as myself, almost to the exclusion of every other preparation. I have no doubt it is the best form, in every respect, which has yet been proposed." Observe, the actual signature of the Inventors, on an engraved label, is attached to the wrapper on each Bottle. Prepared only by T. and H. SMITH, Chemists, 21, Duke-street, Edinburgh; and sold Wholesale by JOHN CLERK, 30, Mersey-street, Liverpool ; BARCLAY and SONS, Farringdon-street, London ; and may be had retail of all respectable Druggists, by asking for T. & H.

It would be easy to pretend, as some advertisers do, to sell Teas at lower prices than charged by the Company ; but the very fact that the duty alone amounts to 2s. 2id. per lb., must convince all thinking persons that much which is offered to the public under the name of Tea, can be no other than a spurious article ; and it would be easy to prove that such trash is as injurious to health as the genuine leaf is wholesome and exhilarating.

THE manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the possession of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness, occurring in fami lies more or less every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every house holder in the kingdom.

AT a stated HALF-YEARLY GENERAL MEET ING of the EDINBURGH, LEITH, and NEW HAVEN RAILWAY COMPANY, held within the Office of the Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton Railway Company, on the 30th day of July, 1844. ERSKINE DOUGLAS SANDFORD, Advocate, and Sheriff of Kirkcudbright, Esquire, in the Chair. The Secretary read the circular calling the meeting, and the newspapers containing the same, and the minute of last meeting was also read and approved. The following report by the Directors was then sub mitted : The Directors of the Edinburgh, Leith, and Newhaven Railway, address their constituents for the last time in that capacity, but they do so with a feeling of pleasure which they have never before experienced during their tenure of office. The name of the Company is now changed by Act of Parliament:from " The Edinburgh, Leith, and Newhaven Railway Company," to " The Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton Railway Company," and in taking leave of the name, the Directors are happy to think that they have also taken leave of the difficulties which so long beset the concern and impeded its progress. In their last report they informed you of the completion of the drift-mine of the Scotland Street Tunnel, and they have now to report that the first contract for a portion of the tunnel itself has been entered into, and the works thereon are in rapid progress. The ground at the Market street terminus of the line has also been conveyed formally to the Company by the Town, and the price paid. In pursuance of the powers conferred by the meeting of shareholders of 29th July, 1841, the Directors lately bor rowed from the Scottish Union Insurance Company the further sum of £13,000 on debenture, which, with the sum of £20,000 formerly borrowed on debenture, under authority of same meeting, made up the sum which the Company were entitled to borrow under their acts of par ltament, other than that of 1844. This sum of £13,000 is applied in payment of the balance due for property to landowners on the original line, and of the works now in operation for the completion of the tunnel. The traffic on the line as opened is steadily on the in crease. For the last six months, as compared with the previous six months, for example, there is an increase of 16,788 passengers, and for the present month of this year, as compared with July of last year, there is an increase of 2440 passengers. The average number of passengers con veyed along the line weekly at present amounts to upwards of 4000. importance of this Market-street ground to the interests of the Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton line. The whole area of ground acquired by the Newhaven Company at Market-street did not much exceed two acres ; and in this space the whole works and apparatus necessary for traffic, passengers station, booking-office, carriages and engine sheds, and other requisite accommodations, had to be con- centrated. The portion of the ground scheduled by the North British amounted to no less than 1784 square yards, leaving for the purposes of your line not more than 4834 square yards ; while your reporters, relying upon the ab solute possession of the property by the Newhaven Com pany, and upon the opinion of their engineer, who consi dered it sufficient for the purposes of their terminus, had not scheduled any of the contiguous property in their bill, and were consequently without the means of obtaining ground for the purpose, should the North British Railway succeed in depriving them of that which had been already acquired. The point, therefore, just came to this, that the North British must either agree to a protecting cl ause in their bill, as related to the property of' the Newhaven. Company, or your Railway was rendered utterly useless, —being in the position of a line without a terminus. There could be no hesitation, therefore, in the co srse to be pursued. But, anxious to avoid the expense of op posing the North British Bill in committee, your reporters made a proposition to the promoters of that bill previous to the sitting of their committee. This proposal was, that the rails of the North British should be allowed to come up as far as the city weigh-house, and no farther, and that the interests of your line should be protected by a clause introduced into their bill to that effect. This pro posal, which permitted the North British rails to come through a portion of the ground belonging to the Newha ven line, and, as will be immediately seen, as far as there was the least necessity for their coming, was notwith standing uncompromisingly rejected, and your reporters had no alternative but to appear by counsel and agents in the North British Committee, for the purpose of swing your line from annihilation. The committee on the North British Railway bill lasted for a period of no fewer than seven days, but your report ers had the satisfaction of proving out of the mouths of the witnesses for the bill, the reasonableness of their de mands. A clause protective of your linterests was given by the committee, but although this clause was more strin gent than the voluntary proposal at first made by your reporters to the promoters of the North British line, yet from other circumstances, which subsequently came to their knowledge, it was not considered by your advisers as sufficient; and your reporters had ultimately the satisfac tion of getting this clause amended in another place, in such a way and manner as to be completely satisfactory, and to have the effect of excluding the North British rails from the ground of the Newhaven Company altogether. The next thing which remained for your reporters was, to come to an arrangement with the Edinburgh and Glas gow Railway, in regard to the terminus ground which they also had inserted powers in their extension bill, to take. It must be well known to you, that the termini of the three lines of the North British, Edinburgh, and Glas gow, and Edinburgh, Leith and Granton Railways, are to be united at a point in Market-street, upon or close to the Newhaven Company's ground. Without crossing that ground nearly through its centre, the rails of the two first great railways cannot meet, while the effect of that cross ing or disruption of the Newhaven terminus ground is to injure it most materially, or,.in the opinion of some, to destroy it entirely. It became, therefore, a matter of diffi culty with your reporters how to shape their course be fore the committee of the house. On the one hand, they had the advantage of possessing a portion of ground not more than sufficient for their own purposes, and indis pensable for the junction of their opponents, —an argu ment much relied upon by some of your own shareholders, and much pressed upon your reporters by them, as likely to prevail with the committee of the house. On the other hand, they had the opinion of the first practical men of business in every department, whom they consulted, for tified by that of their own counsel and agents, that no committee would ever agree to prevent the junction of these two great railways, owing to the accidental position of the Newhaven terminus, or would permit your com pany to fix the terms upon which such junction should be allowed; and that all your reporters could reasonably de mand or would obtain would be compensation in ground and otherwise, for the portion of the Newhaven terminus, required by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway for the purposes of their new terminus, and their junction with the North British. After much consideration, your reporters came to the resolution of resting their case upon the principle last mentioned, and being quite as desirous of avoiding the ex pense of a contest with the Edinburgh and Glasgow as they had previously been with the North British Railway, they made various propos a l s o f se ttl emen t, b o th verbally and in writing, to the promot ers of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Extension Bill, founded on the principle of com pensation, and of conceding the junction of the two great lines. Not one of these proposals, however, was accepted by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, whose propo sals in return were utterly inadmissible, and your report era were therefore again most reluctantly compelled to watch the progress of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Exten sion Bill through committee. The result in this commit tee, however, was not less favourable than that which took place in the struggle with the North British, and you will find, on reference to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Exten sion Act, that the interests of the Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton Railway have been most carefully and success fully guarded. In exchange for that part of their termi nus, which they have ceded to the Edinburgh and Glasgow for the purpose of their terminus and junction with the North British, they are to receivs foot for foot to the east ward of their terminus from the Edinburgh and Glasgow, who have scheduled all the conterminous ground, and are to acquire and convey the same to your company at their own expense. Provision is also made for the claims which your company may have for compensation, from the change which thus occurs in the shape and form of your depilt, and the presumed increase of expense in working thereby occasioned ; and in the very probable event of your company requiring an increased area for their depot, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company are farther obliged to employ the compulsory powers of their act, if required by you, in acquiring such necessary additions, In short, your reporters are fortunately enabled to state, that the patrimonial interests of your line have received no damage in the late collision with its two powerful neighbours,--a collision which, to say the least, was attended with no or dinary hazard. _ For an explanation of the proceedings which took place in parliament in obtaining the bill of the Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton Railway, the Directors beg to refer to the accompanying report of the provisional committee appointed by the promoters of that measure ; and, in con clusion, they have only farther respectfully to take leave of their former constituents, and to congratulate them on their altered prospects. It was then moved and carried unanimously, that the report now read be approved and printed, and the meet ing declared the borrowing of the sums on debenture to be necessary and expedient, and approved of the whole pro ceedings of the directors thereanent. The chairman then stated that the following gentlemen fell to leave the direc tion of the company by rotation, viz : Henry Inglis, Esq., Deputy-Chairman, Joseph 111` Gregor, Esq., Alex. Robertson, Esq. That the number of Directors by the new act is limited to seven, and in order to supply the foregoing vacancies, and to make up the board to the number allowed by the act, it was moved, and unanimously agreed to, that the following gentlemen be elected directors, viz. : Joseph M`Gregor, Esq., Alexander Robertson, Esq., of Eldin, Sir William Dunbar, Baronet, Alexander Jamieson, Esa., of Heriothill, and David Thom, Esq., merchant, Leith, and that Sir William Dunbar be appointed deputy-chair man in the room of Mr. Inglis. The chairman further stated, that several of the Share holders of the New Stork had intimated a desire to pay up the whole amount subscribed by them at once; that the advantage of this plan had been found to be very great upon several lines of railway now in successful operation, and that the directors were authorized by the Act 6 and 7 Will. IV., cap. 131, sec. 47, to accept of such payments in advance, and to allow five per cent. interest on the same. The meeting approved of this suggestion, and authorised t h e directors to accept of suc h payments in advance as they might think proper. and to allow five per cent. in terest on such advances as might be made, over and above t h e ca lls made upon the stock at the time. The thanks of the meeting were then moved to the Di rectors of the Edinburgh, Leith, and Newhaven Railway Company, fcr the manner i n w hi c h they had performed their arduous duties, and brought them to a successful conclusion. Mr. Grainger, the engineer, stated, that having exa mined the tenders of the contractors for the Granton branch, he was happy to be able to state that, notwith standing that the price of the land had turned out higher than had been originally estimated, this branch line would in all probability be completed under the original esti mate. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Extension Bill was taken up first in order by the committee upon the three lines, and the consideration of this part of their duties occupied five days. Your bill wss next, but its details had been previously so much discussed, and so thoroughly under stood, that it passed through the committee in the course of a very short time. The opposition to it also, which at one time looked formidable, and had to be prepared for, ultimately dwindled away. Some opposition and discus sion subsequently took place before the Committee in the House of Lords, which had the effect of delaying its pro gress through parliament; but nothing of any material consequence occurred, and your bill finally received the Royal assent upon the 19th current. It is also necessary to mention that, during the course of these proceedings, your Committee had some important discussions with his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, and those acting for him, as to the terms upon which access to his Grace's property and pier at Granton was to be given. They have to state, that every point was arranged in the most amicable manner, and they are bound to report to you their strong sens e f the handsome and liberal manner in which their wishes were met by his Grace. It has always been considered an object of the first im portance to complete the Granton branch with the least possible delay, so as to secure the immediate returns from the immense passenger traffic to and from that pier, a traffic which must now be so greatly increased by the com pletion of the corresp on di ng l ow - wa t er p i er t ! tßurntis land. This traffic, you will ob serve t oo , comes into en ng of the tunnel between Scotland-street and opera tion at once, even before the c o m pletion and o -street. And your reporters having fortunately co me v ertis e f t a o r kaep an ble arrangement with the whole of t on this branch, were enabled, without thelanded a delay,ded proprietorsad t o for contracts for the works, which have now been taken up to their satisfaction, and they state, upon the authority of their engineer, that this branch may be opened for pas senger traffic within eleven months from this date. The agents are proceeding actively with the acquisition of the property on the Leith branch, and your reporters state, wtth confidence, that a few weeks hence will see this part of the business completed, when the works upon this branch also will be immediately advertised for con tract. The completion of the Leith branch, and of the Scotland -street tunnel, which is essential to its success from the expected goods traffic to and from Leith, in con nection with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, will be progressing simultaneously with the Edinburgh and Glasgow extension, and will, they trust, be opened at the same time. In conclusion, it only remains for your reporters to con gratulate you on the prospects now before you. The whole of the shares of your undertaking, which the Newh aven directors were at fi rs t o bli ge d to take up to a large extent, have been subscribed for by parties of the highest respect ability; and on this score, you may challenge comparison with the share-lists of any other railway company in the empire. This circumstance, and the improved value of the old stock, are sufficient evidence of the altered state of public opinion in regard to your undertaking ; while the traffic, which your reporters were enabled to prove before the Committee of Parliament, was greater than that stated in the original prospectus, and affords the best ground for the confident expectation, that your returns will shortly be inferior to none.
