DR. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE
Removed from 71, Long-Acre to Mr. Front's, 229, Strand

London.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the privation
of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause
so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which is so
frequently overlooked or improperly treated, from either prejudice
or mistake It is, therefore, of importance that every person
should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which
are—disagreeable odour of the breath, levered tongue, particular
heaviness or lanzuid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and
paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, frequent itching of the
nos., an unequal state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the
bowels also, pale and emaciated countenance, and at other times the
face will be flushed, griping pains, a short, dry cough, great thirst,
vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent
pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of inclination to take ex-
ercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c. &c. These are some of the
general symptoms of being afflicted with worms; adults as well gs
children are subject thereto. Youth or age may with the utmost
safety have recourse to this old-established medicine, which is
adopted by numerous families as a general medicine, particularly in
spring and autumn.

YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BER-
WICK RAILWAY.
YORK, THURSDAY NIGHT.—An extraordinary meeting
of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company
was held this day at noon, in the Festival Concert-
room, York, for the purpose of receiving and considering
a report from the Committee of Investigation appointed
at the extraordinary meeting of shareholders held on
the 4th day of May last. Mr. James Meek, Lord Mayor
of York, who is at present chairman of the company,
presided. There was a numerous attendance of share-
holders.
The CHAIRMAN stated that it was his duty.to bring be-
fore the meeting two reports, the fourth and fifth of the
Committee of Investigation. They were closely con-
nected, and therefore he proposed to move that they
should at once be received. The business of the day
was of no small importance. They were in possession
now of the state of the affairs of the company. After the
whole of their liabilities had been discharged, the corn-
mittee—and he was not aware that they had overlooked
any point either unwittingly or designedly—had come
to the conclusion that the company would have'a
balance of nearly eight thousand pounds, which would
be available for dividend. But there was a further
sum due on arrears of shares which had not been re-
ceived. About 14,0001. of that amount was in connexion
with Mr. Hudson, who stated, however, that he had coup-
ter-claims on the company. Till those matters were un-
levelled, it was impossible to state exactly what amount
would be at their disposal. The great business of the
day was the appointment of directors, and the determi-
nation of what should be their number. The number
recommended by the committee was eight—eight honest,
persevering,-.uprtght men.—(Hear, hear.) He did not
despair of the elasticity of the company. He would make
no hasty estimate of what it would yet produce, but this
he would say, that within his experience there was no
other railway so favourably circumstanced. They bad a
traffic line of nearly 150 miles long, which went through
a mineral or coal district. Such lines as that to Rich-

mond could never be very productive, but branches

through the coal districts would prove unquestionably of
benefit to the main line. Pits would ere lung be opened
beyond Newcastle, which would increase the traffic
on the line between Berwick and Newcastle. People
ought not to be too much alarmed. With good manage-
ment he ventured to say that this line would yet prove
one of the best in the country. He would not rank it
with the second or third class; he ranked it with the

first.—([sear, hear.) It was for the shareholders now
to appoint directors who should so manage the company's
affairs that the largp expenditure which had been incur-
red should be turneno the best advantage. It would
also be necessary to appoint auditors. The committee
did not propose to nominate any individual or indi.
viduals; they felt it their duty to stand in an independent
position. Their great duty, was to bring before the
shareholders the circumstances in which this great
undertaking stood. It was for the shareholders to select
those in whom they had confidence to act in the capacity
of directors and auditors. He would not enter into de.
tails with respect to the reports; they were in the
hands of the shareholders; and it was now the part of
the shareholders to ,ex their opinions on the sub-
ject. He should move that the fourth and fifth reports
be now received.

Wylie because he was misrepresenting facts. He would
add that he had seen Mr. Allport in various cases, and
bad never seen anything in his conduct but what was
perfectly honourable, and if gentlemen would read his
letter calmly, and consider that he was but the second
officer of the company, the secretary being the first, and
Mr. Hudson the chairman, they would see that there was
really nothing done by him that a perfectly honest man
might not do.—(0b!)
Mr. ALLPORT felt called upon to ask for a few minutes
of the time of the meeting, is consequence of the severe
terms in which he had been animadverted upon by Mr.
Wylie. His conscience perfectly acquitted him in re-
gard to the motives imputed to him by Mr. Wylie. He
was the second officer of the company. He received his
instructions from Mr. Close. He knew that companies
were in the habit of making up their accounts to the end
of the week. His own system had always been to make
them up to the end of the month, and he had sent them
in so made up. The account was returned to him to add
the week's traffic, and he did so. Ho coy(' declare upon
his honour that if every director and snarehoider had
come to him and asked him to alter a single figure, he
never would have done it—(Hear, hear)—and he did nut
think his letter would bear the construction put upon it
by Mr. Wylie. He had nothing to do with the tnaking
up the half-yearly accounts; he never saw them; his
were merely subsidiary accounts. He never saw the
inside of the books at York (as we understood);
he never dictated a ts,ngl4 figure or line in
those books; he knew n Jibing about themear
Lear.) He merely acted upoa the instructions of
the secretary, and his letter, taken candidly and fairly,
in the position he held, must ho thought, exonerate him
from the charges made against him.—(Hear, hear.) He
would throw himself upon the shareholders.—(Hear,
hear.) From his first connexion with the company in
1844 to this moment he had never done a single thing
in regard to which his motives could be questioned. He
had endeavoured to the best of his ability to serve the
interests of the shareholders.—(Hear, hear.) He had
worked night and day for them, and he would appeal to
gentlemen who knew him whether he ever neglected his
duties for a day or an hour.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Wylie
never saw him in his life; but he would appeal to those
present whose faces he knew, though he was not per-
sonally acquainted with them—gentlemen who bad seen
his conduct, and he was quite content to abide their
decision.—(Hear, hear.) He had done his duty faith-
fully
to the shareholders, and if he was to be sacrificed

for this one single transaction, he could not help it.
Mr. RAMSAY wished to ask Mr. Allport whether he
considered he was doing his duty to the company when
he was working Mr. Hudson's line, although he was the
company's servant?

Mr. ALLPORT would remind the shareholders that
the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway was tsken for this
company on the Ist of August, 1848, and immediately
came under the management of this company and of its
servants. He, as the manager- of the one, took the other
also; Mr. Close did the same, and ao did the engineer,
and it had been worked to this day as part of the York,
Newcastle and Berwick line. True, Mr. Hudson now
had the management; but for whose benefit? It had
been worked purely for the benefit of the shareholders of
the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Company.—(Hear,
hear.) He (Mr. Allport) had been placed in a most in-
vidious position, this company refusing to have anything
to do with the line. It had been worked for the benefit
of this company, and other parties had borne the losses,
sod he had had to endeavour to please two parties. It
was as much worked for the York, Newcastle, and
Berwick shareholders as any one of their branches;
the cash and returns went to Mr. Close. The com-
mittee never could have intended to single his (Mr. All-
port's name out with a view to its being inferred that
there was any unfair management on his part.—(A share-
bolder—"ls Mr. Hudson the lessee of the line?") Mr.
Hudson, as chairman of the York, Newcastle, and Ber-
wick Company, took the lease of that line for three
years; the matter was not yet decided. He (Mr. All-
port) had not had time to report fully to the committee
of investigation.—(Mr. Ramsay—" Then are you the
servant of Mr. Hudson as well as of the company?")
Certainly not.—(Mr. Ramsey—" You receive no emolu-
ment from Mr. Hudson?") Certainly not; not a six-
pence.—(Mr. Ramsey—" It is reported by the committee
that you are one of his servants.")
Mr. M'LAREN begged to explain that the committee
did not imagine that the words used by them contained
any kind of imputation upon Mr. Allport.—(Hear, hear.)
They merely meant to state a fact which they thought
every one was aware of, as it had been fully explained
in February how the Carlisle Railway stood.—(llear.)
Mr. RAMSEY—Mr. Allport, when you sent that
answer to Mr. Close, did not you know it was morally
wrong?

a railway was to give the directors a moderate sum, and
I take care that proper servants were appointed.
Mr. LOVE trusted the Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Easthope)
would do him the justice hereafter not to attack him
behind his back—(Hear, hear)—and would state that
the representations were untrue—(clear). He (Mr.
Love) knew he was to be attacked, and expected it; the
gentlemen at Newcastle, who were favourable to Mr.
Hudson, had been in secret conclave to prevent his hav-
ing anything more to do with this company, because he
had been fearless in defence of what he believed to be
its interests.—(Hear.) Sir J. Easthope knew that he
(Mr. Love) was absent on the Company's bu,iness, and
made an attack upon him as to his desire to be one of the
managing directors. The manager, Mr. Allport, toe,
was at the London meeting and voted against him (Mr.
Love).—(Hisses.)
Mr. ALLPORT rose, and explained that he did not go
to London on purpose, but was there on private busi-
ness; and, as a shareholder, having a large interest in
the company, he considered he had a fair right to give
his vote on such an occasion.
Mr. PRANCE passed a very high eulogium upon Mr.
Love, and mentioned, that when he (Mr. Prance) was
convinced in February, on seeing the Great North of
England purchase account, that a gross fraud had been
practised, and when he determined to come down to the
north and expose it, various friends to whom he had
applied to come and stand by him in that undertaking,
when he would be bearding the lion in his den, excused
themselves on one ground or another, and Mr. Love,
whom he had known only in the ordinary intercourse of
men engaged in the same pursuit, came forward and said,
" If you feel it your duty to go to York and expose this
thing, you ought not to go alone, and you shall not; I
will go with you."—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) It
was objected to him that he was a member of the
Stock-Exchange of London. Why, there was no
commercial community in Great Britain which could
boast a larger proportion of high-minded and honourable
men.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the meeting in
London, the tendency of Sir J. Easthope's remarks cer-
tainly was that if there was a connexion between Mr.
Love and him (Mr. Prance), he was objectionable as a
delegate. Sir J. Easthope ought to have apprised Mr.
Love previously of his intention to make such a point.
Sir J. EASTHOPE then rose and proposed to go into a
discussion of the charge thus made against him, and was
proceeding to insist that Mr. Love's complaint against
him now was quite different from the grievance he had
alleged in his letter; but there were loud calls of
Time," " We shall be here till midnight," and, after
much confusion,

Mr. R. MARTINEAU formally rose to order. Instead
of settling who were to be directors, the time of the
meeting was being wasted in a Stock-Exchange
squabble.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN put it to the meeting whether Sir J.
Easthope should proceed upon the subject, and the meet-
ing decided by a show of hands that he should not.
Mr. M'LABEN would say a few words] upon the
question of managing directors. The only prospect the
York, Newcastle, and Berwick Company had of paying
a reasonable dividend was, he believed, by an entire
change of management. No set of directors, giving a
part of their time from their business, could (as he
conceived) give as much as was necessary.—(Hear.)
Mr. CAenuTT, of Leeds, expressed doubts as to the
mode recommended by the Committee of Investigation.
If there were three managing directors, the whole busi-
ness would ultimately fall into their hands, and the rest
of the directors be ciphers.—(llear.) Ile was inclined
to suggest, as the best system of management, to divide
the business into committees, each committee meeting
every week to transact its peculiar business, and the
board meeting once a month or oftener, as might be re-
quired ; the reports of all the committeesjto be made to
the board for general discussion.—(Hear.) If there
were two or three managing directors with 7001. a-year,
there would be continual intrigue to get into that posi-
tion gentlemen whose interest it might serve.—(Hear.)
Mr. Tuompsos moved that the principle of appointing
managing directors should be approved. He moved that
the meeting select one managing director to be recom-
mended to:thelshareholchrs at their meeting in February,
leaving it to be decided whether the number of manag-
ing directors should be three or ono.
Mr. PHILLIPs thought the question should be re-
served.

Mr. CONSTABLE, of Otley, moved that the report be
adopted with the exception of the paragraph recom-
mending the appointment of managing directors.
Mr. PURNELL, of Scarborough, seconded the amend
meur.
