EIAMMEKSHITE AND CITY RAILWAY.—A special
general meeting of the shareholders in this company was
held yesterday at the office, 17, Dukeagreet, Westminster,
Mr. Parsons in the chair, for the purpose of eutborising the
directors to exercise the borrowing powers of the company
under the act. The Chairman said that 140.000/., the
amount of the capital, having been subscribed and expended I
on the line, it became nemesary that the directors should '
be empowered to raise a further sum for the completion of
the line, which it was folly expected would be opened by the
time originally fixed upon. A slight delay bad been caused I
by the late accident, but the works would not be retarded ;
I thereby, nor would it entail any lam upon the company. •
The accident was to be regretted by them, inasmuch as a
serious loss of life had attended it. The directors were
quite satisfied with the engineer and contractor, anl their
faith in the lice was unstated. He concluded by moving
" That the directors be empowered to raise, by mortgage or
otherwise, any sum not exceeding in amount 60,000/. for '
the purposes of the company. A Shareholder, in seconding
the motion, asked Mr. Fowler, the engineer, his opinion as
to the cause of the late accident. Mr. Fowler said the
accident bad arisen from unavoidable muses, and not from
any fault in the construction of the works or material used.
He hail every confidence in the contractor, It would not
delay the rimming of the line.

(Advertisement.) HOLLOWAY'S OINTIMOT AND
Pitts.—Fear not —Though surrounded by circumstances disad-
vantageous to health, these remedies, properly applied, will cat
short toren. influents., inflammation, diphtheria, and a host of
other complaints, always turtles about to seize on the weak,
forlorn, or unwary. The superiority of Holloway', medicine
over others for subduing disease has been so widely and tally
proved that it is only necessary to elk the afflicted to give them
a trial ; and if the instructions folded round them be followed
no disappointment can ever ensue, nor dangerous consequences
result. In hoarseness and ulcerated sore throat the Ointment
should be frequently rubbed on the neck and top of the chest ; It
will arrest the Increasing Inflammation, allay disquietude, and
'reclean> cure.
