RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
ST. HELEN'S CANAL AND RAILWAY.
A special meeting of the proprietors was held at
Liverpool on Saturday, Mr. G. Greenall in the chair, at
which the copy of a Bill was submitted for the approval
of the shareholders, to make branch railways to War-
rington and Blackr:mk, to make alterations in the main
line.andAloo4o take .a lease of the 44inford branch of
the Lendotiand North-Weatern -Railway. The resolu-
tion approving of the Bill was carried by a majority, two
oilmen:tents having voted against it.
Mr. C. HOLLAND stated that the present trade of the
company in coals amounted to 650,000 tons, and that it
was likely to increase to 800,000 or 1,000,000 tons, all
of which would be shipped at Garston. He thought it
was to be regretted that the London and North-Western
Company should have been induced to strenuously op-
pose their Bill, and incur so much expense, when the
whole cost of the extension would not exceed 50,0004
DUNDEE AND ARBROATH RAILWAY.

The annual meeting of the shareholders was held at
Dundee on Wednesday, Mr. W. Thome in the chair.
The report recommended that a dividend of 4 per cent.
be declared for the past half-year.
The CHAIRMAN stated that as the lease of the line to a
neighbouring company at a guaranteed dividend of 8 per
cent. bad been already sanctioned by the shareholders,
the report was necessarily brief ; that the revenue of
the past year, ending the Ist of May, 1847, amounted to
16,6711., which showed an increase over that of the pre-
ceding year (15,5491) of above 7 percent.; that on every
branch of traffic an increase had taken place, which still
continues; and that the business of the railway was car-
ried on in a satisfactory manner to the public. Resolu-
tions were passed, adopting the report, approving of the
dividend payable in July free of income-tax, and adding
to the directors Lord Kinnaird and Mr. Small.

EDINBURGH, LEITH, & GRANTON RAILWAY.

A special meeting of this company was held at Edin-
burgh on Thursday, Mr. J. Christison in the chair, at
hick four Bills were unanimowdy approved—To make
a branch •to the Upper Drawbridge in Leith; a branch
from Bonnington to Trinity-villa; a branch from the
Hay market Railway station to join the Union Canal at
Meegetland, and the Caledonian Railway at Gorgie
Mains; and also to amalgamate the above company with
the Edinburgh and Northern Railway Company.
It was stated that the number of directors represent-
ing the former company in the amalgamated company
is three, and that of the latter company eight; the ca-
pital of the one being 310,0004, and that of the other
1,400,0001.

ASCENT or MR. GREEN'S BALLOON.—On Monday
one of the best ascents that hag been witnessed for several
summers was made by Mr. Green in the Nassau Balloon,
from Cremorne-gardens. The number of persons attracted
by the announcement of what was to take place was very
numerous, and within the ring by which the balloon was
fenced off from the great body of spectators was an assem-
blage of many of the comic writers, dramatists, arc., to :
wit-
ness the departure of Mr. Albert Smith, Mr. J. Lee, and some
of the confederate writers in the amusing periodicals of the
day, who accompanied the veteran aeronaut in the car. The
balloon appeared from the gardens to pass the riverr. about
Westminster, and take towards Kent. The grounds were
crowded. The company after the ascent partook of the fes-
tivities prepared by Mr. Ellis, the proprietor Music, danc-
ing,
fireworks, dramatic representations, singing, &c., formed
the diversions of the evening. The place is now in admirable
order, and the walks, parterres, &c., are well laid out.
The mortality of London, ad indeed, of England
generally, sh,ws a gradual annual decrease, whilst it is well
known the population increases considerably. The rates ofpremium for life insurance have been greatly reduced during
the last few years, yet the offices continue as prosperous as
formerly. These acts clearly demonstrate that some cause,
either unknown or unheeded, must have produced such
favourable results.' Amongst these causes, the increased
knowledge of anatomy, and the many very valuable disco-
veries in medicine, will stand most prominent. The small-
pox, that annually carried off thousands, has been success-
fully combatted by vaccination; and Gout, that used lip claim
its numerous victims, has been thoroughly vanquished by
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills.
[ A IaVEnTI -EMENT.] DEAFNESS, NEW INVENTION,
39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY —The Organic Vibrator, an ex-
traordinary powerful small newly-invented instrument, for deafness,
entirely different from all oth re, to surpass anytning of the kind that
has been, or probably ever can be produced , i. is modelled to the
ear se :hat It rests within, without projecting, which can be inserted
in the ears and removed in company unobserved ; and, being of the
same colour as the skin, is not perceptible. The powers of this
valuable new invention are so great as to bring very defective hear-
ing, of long standing, to its perfect and natural state, and to enable
deat persons to enjoy general conversation, to hear distinctly at
church, on the bench, at the bar:And at public assemblies ; the un-
pleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears are entirely removed,
and it affords to individuals affected with this dreadful malady all the
assistance that possibly could be desired. Also improved hearing
Trumpets of every descripton. The newly-invented Spectacles,
immediately they are placed beiore extremely imperfect vision, that
mi-t and dullne-s which appear before the eyes is at once removed,
ery objet t becomes cl,ar and distinct, so that the most aged im-
perfect sigh becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youth-
ful, natural and origlial state. Also Achromatic Telescopes, Opera
Glasses, Microscopes, &c. Caution —Messrs. S. and B. Solomon.,
Opticians, are not in any way connected with a person of the same
name in their immediate neighb urhood, nor in any part of the

Clemeet's-lane, Strand, was an in-door patient at King's College
Hospital, for an abscess in the thigh, and a wetted, nine inches long,
on the same limb. He could neither bend his knee nor put his foot
to the ground. He remained at the hospital five months in bed,
when he was informed that " nothing more could be done for him ;"
he was then carried to his home, and commenced using the above in-
valuable medicines. He is now, to the astonishment of every one,
soundly cured, and can walk as well as ever he could in his life.
