11 LAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effl-
Caol of this medicine :
" " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
terienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.
4..1" About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
:". my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
814411), under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
!Fred the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
lelt4li,l thing of my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some-
this disease.
It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
rfl Years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
LegjX, no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
Pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
"ealth.
" From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
, ~:4,e 110 approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
•7,3 ed. I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
• moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree ant-
-2 but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
PWards its rovement.
2 I have recommended the Pills to many Mends, and the result
'‘u
al
Ways been of the most gratifying character.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this company
was held on Saturday at the London Tavern, for the
purpose of hearing the result of the poll on the question
as to whether the board should consist of 13 or 14 mem-
bers ; to elect directors to fill vacancies at the board ;
and also to elect an auditor; the Hon. F. Scott, M.P.,
in the chair. _ _

The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating that
it was now his duty to inform them of the result of the
poll that had been demanded upon the question of
'whether the direction should consist Of 13 or 14 gentle-
men. The number who voted in favour of the board
consisting of 14 amounted to 13,566. and the number
who voted in favour of 13 was 19,542, showing a ma-
jority of 5,976 votes in favour of having 13 directors at
the board. With regard to the number of proxies,
there were 12,521 votes recorded in favour of having 14
directors, and 17,650 in favour of the number being 13.
Of those who voted in person, 1,045 votes were recorded
in favour of the number being 14 ; and 1,892 votes in
favour of the number being 13. The result was, in
round numbers, a majority of 6,000 votes in favour of
the board consisting of 13 members. This would leave
them three vacancies to fill up. _ _ _

Mr. BAKER moved a resoltition to the effect that the
meeting do now proceed with the election of three di-
rectors, which having been seconded,

Mr. HERAPATII said, he would move the following
amendment :—" Considering that the board of directors
introduced into an act of Parliament, 11th and 12th
Victoria, chap. 125, sec. 53, passed in 1848, a clause
which enacts that every auditor shall at and for 12
months previous to the time of his election, and during
all such time as he shall continue an auditor, possess in
his own right at least 1,0001. of the consolidated stock
of the company, or shares in the undertaking on which
that full amount shall have been paid up considering,
also, that a committee of shareholders, appointed on the
28th day of November, 1849, justly concluding the prin-
ciple thus affirmed by the board to be at all events ap-
plicable with far greater force in the case of directors,
unanimously concurred in the following recommendation:
That every director shall at and for 12 months pre-
vious to the time of his election, and during all such
time as he shall continue a director, ifoisess in his own
right at least 2,0001. of the consolidated non-preferential
stock of the company, or unguaranteed shares in the
undertaking on which that amount shall have been paid
up ;' it is the opinion of this meeting that none of the
present candidates have any claims which should exempt
them from the operation of this general principle, nor
can any of them properly be considered eligible for the
office of director who have not been shareholders in the
company for 42 months at least."
Mr. PUNCHER seconded the amendment.

This led to a warm and rather personal discussion,
but ultimately the amendment was withdrawn, and the
motion for proceeding with the election of three directors
was carried.

On putting the names to the meeting there appeared
45 in favour of Count Eyre, 49 for Mr. M. Uzielli, 15
for Mr. Helps, 35 for Captain Johnston, 28 for Mr.
Kay, and 10 for Mr. Snell.
The CHAIRMAN then declared thatf riount Eyre, Mr.
Uzielli, and Captain Johnston were elected directors.
Mr. HELPS demanded a poll.
The CHAIRMAN then announced that as a poll had
been demanded the votes would be taken that day up
to 5 o'clock, and again on Monday, at the York-road
offices of the company, from 10 to 4 o'clock, and the
result would be declared at the offices, York-road, on
Wednesday, at 3 o'clock. The next business was the
election of an auditor. Mr. Close retired by rotation,
and was eligible for re-election.
The motion for the re-election of Mr. Close was put.
After some observations, in the course of which Mr.
PUNCHER expressed his hostility to the board, a show of
hands was taken, and Mr. Close was declared to be re-
elected. _

A poll was demanded, and it was
arranged that it
should be carried on simultaneously with that for the
directors, and be declared at the same time.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.
