PEARL CANDLE LAMP.-NO FICTION!!
—The Lamps hitherto used have created vast inconvenience,
and it is high time they were annihilated—thanks to the gigantic
improvements of our age, the time is at hand. To offer a Lamp—
perfection—is, we deem, rendering a public service ; for what are we
without light ? The Pearl is so simple, it cannot be mismanaged.
No cleaning required. To sell the ordinary Candle Lamps is now
impossible ; the public have long enough been pestered with such
rubbish. The Pearl Candle Lamp is the perfection of candle lights.
The public will have none other. Designs to suit every taste.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
MR. 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 very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication ; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, he has Axed his charges at the low est
scale possible. Decayed teetk rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

BRISTOL and EXETER RAILWAY.
BRISTOL, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.—The half-yearly ge-
neral meeting of proprietors in this undertaliktg was held thi3
day at the White Lion Hotel. Pro,td,r,strae,C.There was a
very numerous attendance of proprietors. wrhe chair' vras
taken by John Browne, Esq., deputy chairman of the board
of directors.

The CHAIRMAN said, in laying before the proprietors the
half-yearly report of their proceedings, the directors referred
them with great pleasure to the statement of rent and toll
of the line as returned by dire Great Western Company.
That statement afforded gratifying evidence of the increased
and increasing prosperity of the undertaking, and gave to
them a well-founded hope that their traffic would be such as,
after the termination of their lease to the Great Western
Company, to give them a very handsome dividend upon
their shares. Since the last general meeting of the company the
directors had given their best and most anxious attention to
the carrying out of the new measures which the proprietors
had sanctioned with their approval. The branches from
Bleadon to Wells, Street, and Glastonbury, and from Castle
Cary to Taunton, had passed the Committee unopposed ; and
from the great extent of accommodation which they would af-
ford to the public, the board did not anticipate that there would
be any difficulty in obtaining for them Parliamentary sanc-
tion. Westward of Exeter the branch from Launceston
to Liskeard had passes the Standing Orders Committee, but
the Bill for the branch from Crediton to Launceston had
been thrown out upon the standing orders on account of the
insufficiency of the engineering plans. The directors felt it
but just to their engineer, Mr. Gregory, with whose zeal,
ability, and attention they had abundant reason to be satis-
fied, to state that they exonerated him from all blame in the
matter. llis appointment was so late that there had not
been sufficient time to prepare the plans properly, and when
be undertook to do his best, he told the directors that he
could not hold himself responsible for their completion. It
was also due to Mr. Brunel to state that, as tar as was con-
sistent with his duty to the Great Western Company, he had
given the most courteous and ready assistance. The branches
to Tiverton and to Clevedon would, it was hoped, soon be
opened for traffic. Upon the Yeovil branch the works had
been purposely delayed in order to enable the board to well
consider the point at which the junction should be fixed.
The directors had under their consideration, and at the pro-
per time would provide for the plant which would be re-
quired after the termination of the lease to work the line.—
(Cheers.) The board exceedingly regretted the resignation
of their worthy chairman, alr. Gibbs, but at the same time
they considered it a most fortunate thing for the interests of
the company that they had been able to prevail upon so in-
fluential a gentleman as Mr. J. W. Buller, of Downes, to
take a seat at the board as his successor.
The SECRETARY, Mr. J. B. RAdham, then read the report
of the directors, which was in substance the same as the
speech of the chairman, and also recommended a dividend
of 4 per cent. on the paid-up capital, which would leave a
surplus of 2,055/. 15s. sd.
In reply to questions by Mr. Hare,
The CHAIRMAN said the directors had no doubt they
would be able to obtain from the Great Western Com-
pany an early statement of what proportion of plant they
would expect the Bristol and Exeter Company to take
to at the close of the lease. He believed that the ar-
rangement would be concluded in a friendly spirit between
the companies ; fir, whether the Bristol and Exeter line
was worked as an independent line or otherwise, it would be
for the mutual interests of both companies that they should
continue on terms of perfect amity.--(Cheers.) What the
directors had in view was to ascertain from the Great Western
board what plant they wished to hand over when the lease
terminated, on the Ist May, 1849.
In reply to another question,
The CHAIRMAN said, the directors would be quite able
in two years to supply themselves with plant, even should
the Great Western Company wish to band over nothing.
The SICCRETARY—There are parties ready to undertake to
supply it.—(Hear, hear:) - ,ses.
A PROPRIETOR asked, if the statement in reference to
the Bristol and Exeter line in Nash's Railway Statistics was
true?
The CHAIRMAN understood that it was made up from the
return of the Great Western Company, and that it was quite
correct.
The PROPRIBTOR—It is very encouraging, then.
Mr. 11. 1.11117ra/4 then expressed his gratification that the
line was now admitted to be- as good as he had anticipated
when he, as the organ of the committee of shareholders, last
addressed the proprietary. He also expressed his satisfac-
tion that the resignation of Mr. Brunel and of their chair-
man had got rid of a great deal of the 'Great Western in-
terest, which had too long influenced their proceedings.
Their property had suffered from their having had a
divided board ; and he hoped that now there would be
no more division, but that their anirs would go on satis-
factorily.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply,
take than to suppose that heatbdoatil•Clersevaws aisntlnuoegnrceadtebrytsy
fear of or desire to submit improperly to Great Western in-

fluence.
Mr. C. BERNARD said he had saen with regret a line to
Exeter put forward by the Great Western Company which
did not pass over their line. Did the directors intend to op-
pose the Great Western Company?
The CHAIRMAN said there was no such intention by the
board. The Great Western Company would be stronglY their
posed posed by the South-Western, and it was thought that thei
interference would be useless
Mr. BERNARD thought that a few thousand pounds would
be well laid out in an opposition.—k No.)
Mr. SECOMB was glad to hear that the directors did not
intend squandering money in opposition.
