VALE OF NEATH.

Last session the bill for the leasing of this line to
the Great Western was withdrawn in consequence
of the committee having decided to grant running
powers to other companies. Since then the railway
has been worked by the Great Western under an
arrangement which gives the shareholders in the for-

mer precisely the same dividend as if the bill had
passed. There are certain disadvantages, however,
connected with the arrangements, and to remove
these the Amalgamation Bill is to be brought forward
in the coming session. The principal opposition in
the last session was on the part of the London and
North-Western Company, but in the next session
it is intended to apply for powers to grant a joint
lease of the Vale of Neath to the two great com-
panies, which, it is expected, will put an end to all
further opposition, and insure the utmost facilities
to the mineral trade of the district.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.-AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels
or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is O-
mitted to be the best medicine ior immediately relieving
coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma. and incipient con-
sumption. It frequently cures persons whom the faculty
pronounce incurable, admirably allays the tickling which
provokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption
its effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or
even lying down for fear of suffocation, may depend on relief
in a few minutes after taking it. Prepared on,y and sold by
W. LAMBERT, Chemist. R, King-Waliam-street, Charing-

PENNSYLVANIA RAILWAYS.

The American Railroad and Minging Register, of
November 14, has the following remarks regarding certain
now works in contemplation by the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway Company :
As Mr. JAMES WHENRY, the financial engineer of the
Atlantic and Great Western enterprise, is a Pennsylvanian,
ho appreciates the geographical fact that Pennsylvania
is between New York and the great West ; and that,
therefore, to get a short line from the West to New York
city it is necessary to run through Pennsylvania length-
wise—not across its corners. And hence, doubtless, have
arisen some of the many rumors of a newly-developed
policy on the part of the Atlantic and Great Western Rail-
way Company, to strike out on a new line from Meadville,
as the point of divergence from their existing trunk road,
through Pennsylvania and across New Jersey to New York
city. From Meadville north-east to Salamanca they own
101 miles of road; from Meadville south-west to Dayton
they own 287 miles of road. From Meadville east, via
Franklin to Oil City, they have in use 36 miles of road.
From Oil City about 225 miles of new road will carry
their lino to Milton, to the Catawissa road, which they have
leased ; they hare also leased the Morris and Essex Rail-
road from Easton to Hoboken. The Lehigh Valley Rail-
road interest, we also have reason to believe, will accom-
modate them with a third rail; or they may build a now
road from the Catawissa road to the Morris and Essex. road,
over an undulating but shorter route than the Lehigh
River Valley, via Allentown.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE

SAN PAULO (BRAZILIAN).

A special general meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Gresham-house, for the
purpose of confirming resolutions authorising the
company from time to time to borrow on debentures,
with or without the guarantee of the Brazilian Go-
vernment, the money which might be required to
pay the interest at the rate of 7 per cent, on the share
capital of the company ; Mr. It. lleath in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in answer to observations by Mr.
Franklin and other shareholders, said that Captain
Medeiros, the agent of the Brazilian Government,
had accepted on the part of his Government certain
terms by which the interest would be paid, and it
was hoped that by the next mail, due on the 23d
inst., they would receive the confirmation of those
terms by the Government. The directors on Satur-
day received their despatches. The chief engineer
reported that the last girder of the Serra Viaduct
was erected on Oct. 22, and the first train passed
over it on Nov. 2.

The resolutions were then confirmed authorising
the company to issue the debentures, and a vote of
thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings.

NORTHAMPTON AND BANBURY.

A special general meeting of this company was
held on Saturday at the offices, Victoria-street,
Westminster, for the purpose of authorizing the
directors to borrow money on mortgage debenture
bonds, under the provisions of the company's
Branch Act, 1865, Dr. Beattie in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said he thought it sight to refer
to a prospectus which had been extensively adver-
tised in the public press, of a proposed line called
the East and West Junction Railway. That pros-
pectus was calculated to convey such erroneous im-
pressions with regard to the position and prospects
of the Northampton and Banbury line that the di-
rectors had instructed their secretary to write a
letter to the various journals, affording accurate
information on the subject, forwarding at the same
time a map showing the relative position of the two
lines. The correctness of the contents of the letter
directors to issue
the had had the desired effect of placing the public in
moved
a position to judge fairly of the merits of the lines.

Capt. JOHNS said the publication of the prospec-
tus referred to rendered the explanation

necessary in the interests of the shareholders.
A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro-
ceedings.

IVIR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
tion of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
tbl operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

mitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving

pronounce incurable, admirably allays the tickling which
provokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption
effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or
even lying down for fear of suffocation, may depend on relief
in a few minutes after taking it. Prepared only and sold by

STEALING TIN

Peter Sullivan, 22, and John Endish, 32, were indicted
for stealing Nibs. weight of tin, tilt property of the Lon-
don, Italian, and Adriatic Steam Navigation Company
(Limited), on board the ship Clotildt, lying in the London
Docks.

Mr. Poland prosecuted; Mr. Collies appeared for Eng-
lish, and Mr. Warton for Sullivan.
The jury found the prisoners guity, but recommended
them to mercy.
The Assistant-Judge sentenced them to be each impri-
soned and kept to hard labour for 12 ;months.
ROBBERY OP SHIPS' !AILS.

Archibald West, captain, and Joht Scatterly, mate, were
indicted for stealing five ships' sails, value £3O, the pro-
ptrty of Patrick Cobles, from the slip Ann Mitchell, lying
in the City Canal.
Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr. Metalfe defended West ;
Scatterly was undefended.
It appeared from the evidence that West and Scatterly
were respectively captain and mate d the brig Ann Mit-
chell, lying in the City Canal, until Feb. 24, when they
were discharged; and on Saturday, the owner, with Mr.
M'Nab, the new master, went on board, and the sails were
then all safe. About 4 o'clock the sane afternoon Scatterly
was on board, and the captain was dressing at the time.
There was only a boy named M'Donald besides the captain
and Scatterly on board, and Scatterly ordered the boy to go
ashore and fetch some gin. He was absent for about 20
minutes, and when ho returned he saw a cart alongside the
ship with some sails in it. He was then sent to the Isabel,
another ship lying some distance off, and told by Scatterly
to ask if there was a certain person on board ; and when ho
went back the cart with the sails was gone. About five
o'clock the cart with the sails was taken up to the gate
of the East and West India Dock, and as it was then
too late to obtain a pass from the captain, Scattorly
came up, and he being known as the mate of
the vessel, Payne, the constable, allowed them to
pass out of the gates. These sails were sold to a marine-
store dealer named John Hillyer, of No. 4, Victoria-place,
West India-road, for £3, and they were subsequently sold
to another marine-store dealer for XS. The only fact to
connect the captain -with this transaction was, that ho was
on board at the time the sails were taken away, and that
he must have been aware that the sails were being taken
away.

WATER SUPPLY OF LONDON.

Water plays so important a part in the health of
London that it is necessary to keep a strict watch
over its purity. This can only be done by chemical
analysis, which at once detects the presence of
foreign matter derived from sewers or other foul
sources, and which is poured into our rivers.
The waters of the eight London companies have
been analysed with a most salutary effect ever since
the last epidemic of cholera ; and for this the coun-
try is indebted to the late Di.. Robert Dundas
Thomson, F.R.S., who never failed until his death
to supply the analysis of the waters of the eight
companies monthly, without any remuneration for
his own services. The Registrar General feels it to
be his duty to place this fact on record.

Professor Hofmann has undertaken to conduct
the analysis for the future, and has suggested some
extensions in the appended report. The Registrar
General has also received valuable suggestions from
Dr. Druitt, President of the Society of Health
Officers, and from Dr. Letheby, health officer of
the City of London.
Rain water contains little or no solid matter. It
is pure. The London waters contain variable quan-
tities of foreign matter :—the New River contained
29.60 parts by weight in 100,000 of such solid
matter, the Kent 38.07 parts, the South Essex 43.36
parts. Of this matter 2.00 of the New River water,
1.55 of the Kent, 2.70 of the South Essex, was or-
ganic and other volatile matter chiefly of organic
origin. The quantity of such matter was greatest
in the Southwark and East London waters. The
South Essex water and the New River water re-
quired the smallest proportions of oxygen for oxi-
dation ; the waters of the Chelsea, Lambeth, West
Middlesex, and Southwark Companies required the
most.

HEALTH OF LONDON,

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
In the week that ended last Saturday the births
in London and nine other cities or boroughs of the
United Kingdom were 4,368 ; the deaths 2,982. The
annual rate of mortality in the week in those ten
large towns was 28 per 1,000 persons living, and
was less than in the previous week, when it was 29.
In. London the births of 1,185 boys and 1,125
girls, in all 2,310 children, were registered in the
week. In corresponding weeks of ten years, 1855-64,
the average number, corrected for increase of popu-
lation, was 2,115.

The deaths in the same time were 1,388. The
average number for the eleventh week in ten years
(corrected) is 1,499. The actual return shows an
excess of 39 over the calculated number.

Whooping-cough and typhus were decidedly more
fatal than any other complaint in the zymotic class,
and the numbers referred to those diseases were
almost equal-88 to the former, 85 to the latter.
There were 189 deaths from phthisis and 200 from
bronchitis, both numbers being above the respective
averages. A wireworker, aged 37 years, received a
fatal injury from a waggon in King William-street,
and died on the 6th of March, in Guy's Hospital.
A horsekeeper:was crushed by a horse against a wall,
and died in St. Bartholomews hospital.

On the 7th instant, at Josephine Villas, Hackney,
a female, Queen's pensioner, aged 53 years, died of
"exhaustion from want of proper food and nourish-
ment" (Inquest).
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.808 in.
The reading rose to 29.93 in. on Sunday, and fell to
29 60 in. on Monday. The mean temperature of
the air in the week was 36.3 deg., which is 5.4 deg.
below the average of the same week in 50 years.
The mean daily temperature was considerably below
the average throughout the week. The highest day
temperature was 44.8 deg. on Friday. The lowest
night temperature was 29.5 deg. on Saturday. The
thermometer fell on six nights below, or to a point
little above the freezing point of water. The wind
was generally NNE till Friday, then ESE. No
rain.

President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to estab-

the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly de-
pendent for support on voluntarycontributions and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged between
