Rochester, and the result will show that the capital was adequate to
the purpose.
The line from Gravesend to Rochester is on a different footing ;
the company were authorise t by their Act to purchase the railway
and canal, and to fill up the canal, and double the line of railway,
so as to form a part of the South-Eastern North Kent line, but no
provision was made by Parliament far the payment of the purchase
money, nor any authority given to raise money for that purpose.
Parliament had, however, previously recognised the principle and
necessity of a grant of power to raise money for the purpose of exe-
cuting the works, by authirising the Gravesend and Rochester Rail-
way and Canal Company to raise 85,0001. by the creation of shares,
and 56,666/. by mortgage, and all the powers of the Gravesend and
Rochester Railway and Canal Company were vested in the South-
Eastern Railway Company by the Act of Parliament authorising
them to purchase the railway and canal.
The South-Eastern Railway Company purchased the Gravesend
and Rochester Railway and Canal for the sum of 310,000/. ; paying
31,0001. in cash, and giving bonds for 279,0001., payable, with inte-
rest at three and a half per cent. per annum, in the year 1851, and
application will consequently be made to Parliament to raise the
sum of 359,9851., for payment of the purchase-money and interest.
The filling up of the canal, and doubling of the line of railway,
has bzen executed by the South-Eastern Railway Company ; and
the line was opened by them for traffic as a double line on the 23d of
August, 1847.
In addition, the proprietors authorised the payment of interest on
the No. 3 and No. 4 Shares ; but they did not provide any specific
fluid for such payment. The amount paid up to the Ist instant is
159,1661. 175., and the further amount that will he payable under this
head is dependent in some measure on the time of opening the new
lines—it may be taken at 205,0161. 6s. 6d.
Had this payment of interest on the No. 3 and No. 4 Shares not
been male, it would have been out of the power of the company to
maintain, as they are doing, full faith with Parliament in construct-
ing those lines, to the completion of which Parliament itself looks,
and justly, with considerable interest.
The additional sum of 350,9851. will make the whole paid-up
capital of the company 9,466,3601., which will represent 296 miles of
railway open for traffic, and a locomotive and carrying stock of the
value of upwards of 600,0001., free from mortgage and other debt,
earning revenue, and subject only to the deduction of the Working
expenses, rates and taxes, and of the rents of the Greenwich, the
Reading, Guildford, and Reigate, and the Canterbury and Whitstable
Railways, and the proportionate toll over the 6 miles and 40 chains
of the South-Western Railway.
The revenue produced by the lines open during the last year,
162 miles and 66 chains in length, was 449,7251. I Is. Id., or 2,7631.
per mile.
The policy of the company forthe last four years, that they should
themselves be the carriers of goods on th-ir own lines, has been
adopted with entire success : the receipts from goods. which aver-
aged weekly 6081. in 1844, amounted to 1,8101. per week in 1343 ; or
in the former year to 61. 12s. per mile per week, and to 121. per mile
per week in the latter.
This policy the, directors believe will be still more successful
when applied to the traffic of the whole South-Eastern system of
Railways, and will then produce more than a corres;,onding increase
of receipts.
The proprietors will take into consideration, in estimating the ad-
ditional revenue to be obtained when the whole 296 miles of railway
are open, the anticipated improvement of the continental traffic in
passengers and merchandise, the return to be derived from the
North e Knt line, the Bricklayers' Arms Junction, and the oter
railways in progress, as well as the general prospects of the countrhy,
and the hope of a greater development of the existing traffic of the
South-Eastern district, and they will probably arrive at the conclu-
sion that the permanent dividend to be derived from their property is
not likely to be less than 6 per cent. ' • and if the proprietors have not
erred in the anticipations on which their original investment was
made, still greater advantages are to be expected.
The South-Eastern Railway Company holds, from its natural posi-
tion, the key to the land traffic passing from Europe into Great Bri-
tain, and cannot be dispossessed of it; and while it would be of no
advantage to speculate on the results whieh must attend this situa-
tion, yet it would be improper not to express the opinion of the di-
rectors, that this position must be of great importance and advan-
tage to the company.
At the moment, hoWever, when the railway from Boulogne to
Paris was completed, the French revolution took place, and from
that time to the present there has not been as much Contit ental
traffic as there was before the opening of the French lines of
railway.
'f ha disruption of the political relations of Europe, by which com-
merce generally has suffered, has naturally been visited on the South-
Eastern Railway, as the great highway to the continent.
In the last twelve months only 44,110 passengers crossed to and
from Folkestone and Boulogne by tke steam-shins, and in the pre-
ceding twelve months, when the French lines were not opened, the
number of passengers was 49,514.
The establishment of a settled Government in France, and the
continuance of peace throughout Europe, may fairly be expected to
be attended by a resumption of the ordinary extent of communica-
tion with this country; and it will be a solitary exception in roil-
way experience, if the means now existing of reaching Paris daily
in twelve hours from London, by the South-Eastern route, have
not the effect of increasing greatly the number of travellers.
The directors have always looked to the extension of the railway
system on the Continent and to the completion of the lines pointing
to the Mediterranean with peculiar interest.
To do . justice to the Continental traffic, it is essential that the
short sea passage from Folkestone and Dover to Boulogne and Calais
should be performed at hours to suit passengers, and by the best
class of steam-ships, and this, it is well known, has been admirably
effected by the steam-ships of the South-Eastern and Continental
Company, which have made 3,433 passages without a single accident
—the time occupied in the voyage of 26 miles from Folkestone to
Boulogne varying from one hour and three-quarters to two hours
and a quarter.
The revenue of the London, Folkestone, and Dover line, depend-
ing,
to an important extent, on the facilities and certainty of quick
passages to and from Boulogne and Calais, the directors are of opi-
nion that it is desirable that the South-Eastern and Continental
Steam-ship Company should be merged in the South-Eastern Rail-
way Company, as the sea service requires to le performed more with
reference to Its advantage to the railway than to that of the proprie-
tors of the steam-boats.
It is requisite that greater facilities should be given for the con-
veyance of merchandize between Folkestone and Boulogne, by which
the South-Eastern Railway Company has hitherto benefited but
little, than the steam-boat proprietors as an isolated company can
afford to provide; and, although the case might be met by a general
guarantee from the railway company on all the passengers and mer-
chandize carried by it and the steam-ships, there would be greater
simplicity, and more effective combination, were the two undertak-
ings united.
It has been shown that the ultimate capital of the railway will be
9,466;3601., whilst 130,000/. has been sufficient to provide eight splen-
did steam-ships for the daily service to France.
With regard to the disputed claims on the company, alluded to in
a previous half-yearly report, and which are all referred to arbitra-
tion, comprising the claims of the contractors, engineers, surveyors,
and solicitors, amounting to 196,800/., the directors believe that they
will be settled for the suns set apart to meet them, viz., 138,0401.,
which has been invested for that purpose in the stock of the South-
Eastern Railway Company, as offers have been made to the
directors to compromise the principal claims on a reduction of up-
wards of 60,0001.
The directors consider that the science of working railways with
economy is still in its infancy, and 'can be only attained by care
and great experience ; and they have the most confident expecta-
tion that great improvements will continue to be made under

thr 'a head.
The extortionate parochial assessments to which this company
has been subjected, and to which it was compelled, for many rea-
sons, reluctantly to submit, during the pressure of Parliamentary
contests, are now systematically resisted, and will soon, se far as
the existing law, which bears very hardly on railway companies
permits, be, the directors trust, equitably adjusted.
The proprietors will not fail to observe that the difficulties at-
tendant on the commencement and completion of an undertaking
like the South-Eastern Railway are apparent to every one; the
prospective advantages which follow the full establishment and de-
velopment of a great commercial institution, are not so striking,
but are properly to be considered, and taken into account in attempt-
ing to arrive at any fair estimate of its value.
The directors trust that the unabated confidence which they en-
tertain in the South-Eastern Railway will be shared by the proprie-
tors ; and it will be the study of the directors to promote the inte-
rests of the company to the best of their ability.

TIC DOLOREUX CURABLE.—TOOTHACHE.
JAMES' CELEBRATED ASTILIAN TINC-
TURE FOR THE TIC DOLOREUX,
will prove an invaluable medicine to those suffering from this most
excruciating and hitherto-considered incurable complaint. A know-
ledge of its surprising efficacy has induced the proprietors to bring it
more extensively before the Public than has hitherto been done, and
thus confer a blessing upon thousands now labouring under that
distressing malady; the first application not only easing the patient
of all pain, but effecting in almost every case, a lasting cure.
As a remedy for Toothache, the proprietors can confidently recom-
mend it as one that cannot be surpassed.
This medicine is also a certain specific for Spasms, however violent,
especially in the stomach or bowels, and from its perfect freedom
from anything of a deleterious character, may be admiaisteredunder
any circumstances with entire safety.

34 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, cr a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
Sitter the latter. The solitary ono may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
c•omprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
~eglect wound more sorely than poverty of misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

That a SPECIAL GENERAL CURT of the said COMPANY
will be held at their House, In Leadenhall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the

of Nine Proprietors of East India Stock, as expressed in the following
Letter, viz. :

To the Chairman and Directors of the East India Company.
" London, January 17, 1849,

" Honourable Sirs,
" We, the undersigned Proprietors of East India Stock, duly qua-
lified by law, request that you will convene, at your earliest conve-
nience, a Special General Court of Proprietors, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the accompanying Resolutions, and that
you will be pleased to publish the same with this, our requisition.
We have the honour to be,

" Your obedient Servants,

RESOLUTIONS.
" That by the treaty concluded between the East India Company
and his late Highness Pertaub Singh, Raja of Sattara, on the 25th
September, 1819, the territories of Sattara were secured to him and
to his heirs in perpetual sovereignty. That by the supplemental
treaty of September, 1839, the said territories were confirmed to his
brother Appa Sahib, as the next collateral heir and successor, and to
his heirs, on the same terms as specified in the treaty of September,
18±9. . _

- -
" That this Court has heard with feelings of the deepest surprise
and alarm of the contemplated seizure, confiscation, and annexation,
by the Bast India Company, of the Sattara territories, in violation of
the rights of the lawful heir; believing, as this Court does, that such
seizure, confiscation, and annexation would be a most flagrant breach
of the said treaties so solemnly entered into and confirmed, would
be a disgrace and stain upon the British character, and would se-
riously. weaken the confidence hitherto reposed by the princes and
people of India in the justice and good faith of the East India Com-
pany and of the British Government.
" That under such circumstances this Court deems it to be that*
imperative duty to declare their solemn conviction of the impolicy
and danger, no less than of the Injustice of such a proceeding, and to
express their earnest hope that the Court of Directors and the Board
of Control will withhold their sanction from such a measure."

BOTANIC WATER and BEAR'S GREASE.
When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only ef-
fectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-
named articles, applied alternately, the botanic water to cleanse the
roots from scurf, and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nou-
rishes. If say further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's
grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account
of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the
Ncrth American Indians, would be a sufficient answer.
ROSS and SONS, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, London, who
first introduced the use of bear's grease into this country, and who
fat and kill thd animals, recommend the public to purchase none other
but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances
are their obtaining a spurious article.

marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order

which when
iatnbde its
tracedtrue to
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of whieh thisofmis Treatise professes to dilate,
pr
t
are oductive of greater severi ery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subieyct.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology a the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more iMportance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that those complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining
the causes of
.disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his Posse'ision of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
L-VMERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
