IMPROVEMENT IN GENTLEMEN'S HATS.---Many letters
from time to time have, 'on this subject, appeared in the
"Post" and " Journal," the originals of which are to be
seen at our shops, 9, DALE-STREET, and 6, CRESCENT.
MR. JOHN A. SIMPSON, the active partner of the
firm of KINNEAR and. SIMPSON, begs to state that
this improvement in Gentlemen's Hats is his own inven
tion, and registered by him in his own name, and is his
own private property. In bringing this invention so
prominently before the public, he has avoided say_
ing one word about it himself. All that has been done
has
ijust been to print, in the " Daily Post " and the 4Liverpool Journal," some three or four letters at
stranger,anothe r manand praisenonot
tthee,thine
own an d not thine own mouth ; .a
a time. The principle upon which the advertisement is inserted is the one so well expressed in Proverbs—cc Let
lips." The whole of those'
letters aro written by persons altogether uninfluenced by
any other motive than this--that they really felt the bone_
fit of Mr. &Parson's invention and us such a degree, that ,
they thought it only just to him' to state their opmions; not
in words merely, but also j 4 meriting. d

appeared likely to lie increasingly uctive,
.nd, therefore, they might hope that the value of their shares
would continue to be progressive. (Hear, hear,) There
were one or two matters in the accounts to which he wished
to refer. With regard to the additional works' account and
the renewal of way account, he would suggest to the di-
rectors that their particular attention should be given to
those accounts, which appeared to be growing large and
running up fast. He did not see exactly how the directors
intended to deal with them. If the additional works

...o n, -4i for new lines, he considered the fair
way was to charge it to capital and not to revenue. And with
regard to the renewal of way account he would suggest that
they might follow the example of their lame neighbours. He
• 15 , P.,

ments on their line it was charged to capital, and ie
did—
not think that the directors of this company could do better
than charge such improvements to capital. It seemed
hardly fair that revenue should bear all the expense of im-
proving the way. Having, however, once permanently im-
proved the way, he admitted that renewals ought to be
charged to revenue.

The CHAIRMAN said he had a great objection to relieve
revenue at the expense of capital, and he trusted that the
board would always be of opinion with him, that
their expenditure in renewals and improvements should
never go to increase the amount of their capital.
They would not adopt such a course in their own
private affairs, and therefore he did not see why they should
do it in a company. Mr. King was right in supposing that
the additional works' account was for the purpose of giving
an increase value to capital. As to the renewal of per-
manent way, he had a still stronger opinion that it ought to
be done at the expense of revenue to the fullest extent they
could. He was quite aware that their large neighbours did
what Mr. King had stated ; but for himself he wished that
even a larger sum than they had at present should be put
aside, in order to keep down an increased capital. Now,
however, from the turn their affairs had taken, he thought
they might look forward to increased dividends. Mr. Kmg
had rightly observed that the Garston Dock had been a
successful experiment, and he thought it would now be
admitted that without the Garston Dock the coal trade of
the railway could not have been carried on with satisfaction.
The report and accounts were then passed, and dividends
in accordance with them declared.

On the motion of Mr. KLNG, the retiring directors were
re-elected.

The CHAIRMAN next moved that Mr. John Nuttall Slater
be appointed' auditor in the room of Mr. A. F. Jones,
deceased.

A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors was thon
carried unanimously on the motion of Mr. King, and the
proceedings terminated.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS cure headache, bile, loss of appetite ;
can be taken without danger from wet or cold, and require
no restraint from business or pleasure. They act mildly on
the, bowels, without pains or griping, strengthen the
stomach, promote a healthy action of the liver, purify the
blood, cleanse the skin, brace the nerves, and invigorate the
whole system. They prove an admirable restorative of a
debilitated constitution, creating appetite, correcting indi-
gestion, removing bile, giddiness, and nervous or sick-head-
aches. It is impossible to speak too highly of these pills.
