LONDON Durrucr Toulon...pH COMPANY. —The
following is the half-yearly report of the directors of this
company :—" In pressatiag the accompanying statement
the directors feel that they may congratulate the share-
holders on the improved position of the company. The in-
crease in the receipts has been gradual throughout the half-
year, and, although the general effect of the International
brhibition may to some extent have latterly contributed to
this result, the fo tnightly returns show that a steady ave-
rage increase has Pervaded the period. A comparatively
small outlay on capital concoct has been made during the
half- year, chiefly foe the purpose of providing private tele-
graphs where spare wires were already available, or for
opening new of in important thoroughfares and districts
near which the wires alreadyaossed. The general cuirent
expenditure has been kept as low as possible consistently
with the efficient working of the large and increased holi-
ness. The charge for ' repairs and maintenance' is near.
eerily to some extent beyond control, and fluctuating.
Thus, for instance, during the half-year, in consequence of
save& violent gales, considerable outlay was incurred for
repairs to roofs of bones on which the poles are fiord.
The solicitors having reported that the calls on forty-fire
shares are irrecoverable, the directors propose to forfeit their.
It will be seen that the directors have nit availed them-
selves of the borrowing powers authorised at the last half-
yeerly meeting. The seat in the direction caused by the
retiremet of Mr. J. W. Brett not having been filled op,
the directors have the satisfaction of atatirg that Sir Charles
Bright has consorted to occupy it. A vacancy has also
occurred by the retirement of Mr. Alderman Rose, but the
directors do not recommend that it should be filled up at
present. The directors are still confident es to the ultimate
prospects of the undertaking, which time will materially
arid to develop, sad this opinion is strengthened by the
steady increase shown by the above statemeate."

PILLS. Heavy Fleart.—fticknefis soon weighs down the mug
buoyant spirits unless they be maintained by the hope of speedy
recovery. This salutary hope may safely be based on Holloway s
world-esteemed remedies, which are the safest and most efliciiit
curatives of all diseases affecting the exterior or interior of the
human body. They raise every organ to its natural standard by
purifying the blood, stinodatir ; the nerves, and i.iisiodging any
obstructions to the Travis or glands. In skin diseases and chil-
dren's complaints Holloway's medicaments are invaluable. In
all the maladies to which females are liable thes, remedies are
particularly useful in *vilifying and strengthening three i irons
upon the due performance of whose functions their health
depend'.
