DISPENSARY FOR THE CURE OF
• DISEASES OF TFIE

HAMPSTEAD-STREET, FITZROY-SQUARE.
PHYSICIAN—DR. INNIS, 33, Fitzroy-square.

This Dispensary is opeliel*forthe.treatment and cure of those most
troublesome and vexatious Complaints, Sin Dis,,ases. Whether we
take into con-ideratlon, the l',eqneney of the complaints, or the dis-
figurement caused by them, we are equally surprised at the little
attention and study paid to them in England: There are no
classes of disease that come uader the care of the medical man so
di cult of treatment as those of the skin : the study of theta in
tiff& cgantry is but In its infancy, for, up to the present time, there
has been no opportunity for the surgeon to study them, and it is on,y
from the experience of medical men, exclusively devoted to this branch
of medical science, that these distressinrcomp:aints can be expected
tube relleied.

No practical good can arise, either to the profess:on or to the n• for-
tunate patients until I ospitals and dispensaries are established for the
exclusive treatment of these diseases.

It is with this view that Da. INN IS, after devoting much Attention
and study to these diseases, and having proved most successful in his
treatment, has complied with the requests of numerous triends and
atients, and opened the above institution.• •

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY.

- The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held yesterday, at the London Tavern ; Mr. R.
Paterson in the chair.

Mr. BOURNE, the secretary, read the report, of
which the following is an extract :
.
"The agreement between this company and the Eastern
Counties Company guaranteei a minimum dividend at
the rate of 5 percent. per annum to one class of Northern
and Eastern shareholders, and of 6 per cent. to the
other; your directors therefore hare to report that the
di,videud for the half-year ending the 30th of June last,
on the respcctivo shares of the company, will be as fol-
lows, viz.:—On shares guaranteed 5 per cent-501.- paid,
11. ss. each; 141. paid, 6s. 64d. each. On shares guaran-
teed 6 per cent.-501. paid, IL 103. each; 141. paid, 7s.
101 d. each (less property-tax, and payable Sept. 1).
The dividend en the Newport Extension capital,
payable the 30th of November
,next, will be at its gua-
ranteed tate of 6 per" cent; per annum, er 7s. 6d. per
quarter share, also less property-tax. An instalment of 9/.
per share on the new shares of this company, 141. paid,
becomes due on the 11th of September next, and the
directors rely upon the punctual payment thereof, as the
means of liquidating the debentures then falling due.
"The arrangement announced to the proprietors at the
last half-yearly meeting. authorising them to attend and
to take part in discussions at goneral meetings of the
Eastern Counties Company, having now come into
operation, your directors deem it unnecessary to offer
any remarks on subjects jointly affecting the interests of
the two companies.
The capital account showed that 996,2941. had been
received, and 952,1611. expended, leaving a balance
of 34,1331.
The CHAIRMAN remarked, that as the Northern
and Eastern shareholders were admitted to the meet-
ing held that day by the Eastern Counties Company,
and from the full explanations given there, he thought
there was nothing left for him to explain. in answer
to Mr. Vizard he had the satisfaction to state, that
-they knew the amount of the minimum dividend they
had to receive, but with respect to the maximum divi-
dend they were likely to receive, that of course de-
pended upon the prosperity of the two companies.
He then moved that the report and accounts be re-
ceived and adopted, which was seconded by Mr.
SMALL

The CHAIRMAN explained, in answer to questions
respecting the York Extension shares, on which
71. los. had been paid, that the restrictive clause in
the Bill did not permit the directors to pay interest
out of the capital, but as these shares became ab-
sorbed in the capital stock of the Eastern Counties
Company to complete the new works, they would be
entitled to dividends, the first quarter of which would
be due in March, 1848.

Resolutions were passed adopting the report and
accounts, approving of the dividends stated in the
report, and re•electing the directors.
A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and
the meeting separated.

necessary for the works in progress. the directors have de-
termined on ceding in immediately the arrears due on the
shares of the company, and hove mado a farther
call of 21. 103. on the 13 Quarter York Extension shares,
payable on the 2,1 of September next. These proprietors
who pay up the A Quarter shares in full, and the first
21. 10s. on the B Quarter shares, wall be entitied to gx-
change font- of their A Quarter shares for one Eas;ern

July last. Upon payment of the further call now made
on the B Quarter shares, the liolderm itwy c• overt foul:

the company. midi% dividend rroto the 4 h ot J4nuery

shall have paid up the A and B Qua. tors, will have ih,
optiOn, until the 47h of July. 1848 of givinc, up the
firm( r Quarters, or retaining them, and roviding su h
capital as the directors may subsequently to that di.te
require-; and in the mean time no calls- will be made on
',bete C and D Quarters.
"Although the-diteetors have not succeeded in ob-
Nining the sanction of the Legislature to the leasine of
the lines and amalgamated as the East Anglian Rai-
ways, no effort shall be wanting to promote their traffic.
" The preambles of the Bills tor authorising the con-
struction of the Ilford ,and Southend, and-the Cambridge
and Ware lines, have been proved before Committees of
the House of Commons, and will :be ..resumed at their
present stage in the ensuing sessiom .
. "Tbeengineei'sreport states, that the, permanent way
and vvotks generally are in a very perfect state of repair. _
That,.tbe. North Woolwich, Thames Junction, -and
Western Junction branches were completed and opened
for passenger traffic on the 14th of June, and the double
tine to North Woolwich will be wally for opening the
latter end of this month, and a ill give increased fauiiity for
*ovicing the traffic. Silings'and other conveniences for
*the accommodation of the goods traffic have been .con-
structed at the Blackwell Wharf, in connexion with the
The,tines Junction Raff Way. •--
" The swing bridge over the river Lea, and the Pepper
Warehouse branch, •are in course of construction, and
there, is every pm liability of' these works being com-
pleted in three months from this date. The contracts
for the steam'•engines, gearing, and tools for the work-
shops at Stratford, have all been let, a quantity of the
machinery has, been delivered, and every exertion is
being made for the completion of the buildings. These
works will afford great facilities for the repirs of the
increased stock of locomotive engines required to work !
the traffic. Extensive additional warehouse accommo- I
dation has been given at the London terminus fur the
goods traffic; and the steam machinery for loading and
unloading goods has just been completed, which will
reduce the amount of labour in. that department con-
siderably.

Loc-omotive Dopartment—Daring the last half-year
the stock of the company's engini-s has been considerably
Unproved, as is evinced by the regularity of both the
passengers and goods train. This stock, together with
the engines now in course of delivery, will prove quite
adequate for the increasing traffic. The expenses are
naturally increased, owing to the increased length of the
line over which the engines of the company hive to
travel. The carriage and waggon stock is in a good
state of repair, and if the waggons cen racteo tor are
delivered according to contract, there will be a stitfi,:ient
stock for carrying on the trade of the company in grain
&c., during the coming riaumn and w nter, awl there
will be no further o"inplaint of deficiency of stock for
conveying this traffic."
The capital account showed that 6,800.827/. had
been received, and 6 736,209/. expended ; leaving a
balance of 64.6181. From the revenue account it ap-
peared, that 278,0121. had been received, and 140,1521.
expended ; leaving a balance of 137,860/. To this
sum the balance of the preceding half-year, 5631, was
added, making a disposable balance of 138,423/.;
which, after paying interest to the Northern and
Eastern Companies 32.293/., left for the half-3 ear's
dividend to the 4th of July, 106 1301.
The Cinattatast, in moving tie adoption of the
report, said—Gentlemen, I cannot refrain from con-
gratulating you, that the directors have been enabled
to redeem the pledge which they gave, that the line
should be worked as efficiently and as Hell us any
line in the kingdom. Of course, we are liable to
casualties _like all other companies ; but upon the
concurrent testimonies of all parties using the line,
Yam warranted in saying that we have arrived tit'a
position, in which the line is now worke.l as effl•
ciently and as well as any other line in the kingdom.
Having redeemed that pledge, we have done fair jus-
tice to the public in the course we have taken, and
we have felt it our duty to endeavour to increase the
income and the revenue of thecompany,that we might
be enabled to pay, at some future day, a better divi-
dend. It is not necessary to inquire whether it has
been accomplished by the power of the press, whether
it has been accomplished by our being enabled to
enlist into your service men of great competence and
great knowledge in the locomotive department, or
whether it has been accomplished by our endeavour
to obtain the best engines for the working of the line,
and the most efficient engine-men to steer them. I
am thankful that is has been accomplished, and that
the directors have been enabled to redeem the pledge
they gave the shareholders and the public, that the _
line should be efficiently and well conducted.. We
have thought it proper to look to our position as a
company, and to look to the charges which we were
making to the public. When I joined the direction
I found the anomaly of passengers travelling on one
part of your line being charged at one rate of fares,
and on another part at a different rate ; the line to
Colchester bearing a rate considerably higher than
the line to Cambridge. I therefore thought it was
right that the fares should be regulated ,by a syste-
matic rate of charge, and that all parties should be
charged alike.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) I am
happy to report to you to-day that the increased rate
of fares, which has been charged on the passengers,
whilst it has not diminished the number of passengers
carried on the line, has added most considerably
to the revenue, having given an increase of
something like 1,200/. or 1,3001. per week
on . the receipts. What has been the receipt
this week ? And here let it be understood that, un-
like other railway companies, the month of August is
not your harvest month; it is rather the worst month
in the year, or nearly so, for Cambridge is in that
month empty, and the travelling is not in the direc-
tion of your line. This week we show you a revenue
of upwards of 13,000/.—(Applause ) It has been
said that you are not receiving a dividend quite equal
to your expectations, or-to that which you had any
right to expect. Why, is it to be supposed that
people of this country will invest their capital in
1 speculative undertakings like these and receive barely
5 per cent. for their money ? It is said you are re-
ceiving 6 per cent. ; but I contend that you are
receiving to day no more than five per cent., for the
41. which was added on the accumulation of interest
during the year ; and if 1 had not been perfectly
satisfied that there would be a largely increased
traffic in the ensuing half-year I should perhaps
have recommended a less dividend on this occa-
sion. However, feeling a perfect confidence that
the ensuing half-year will produce an increase
exceeding the increase of the past half-year of
from 80,000/. to 90,000/., I feel no hesitation
in recommending you this day to declare the
dividend stated in the report. Whilst I state that
there will he an increase in the receipts amount-
ing to 80,000/. or 90,0001., I ought not to eisguise
from you, that there will of course be certain charges
which will amount in the present half-year to more
than in the past half-year. These charges amount
nearly to a sum of 48,000/. ; they will be on No. 2
stock; the interest to be paid amounting to 23,0001
or 24,000/. ; there will be a dividend on the Yo, k
Extension shares, amounting to 24,000/., which still
Laves a surplus of 40,000/. or 50,000/., with which
you will be enabled to pay your increased expendi-
ture or provide for any casualty which maylocncouwr,
and may leave some surplus. Gentlemen,
come to the question of the York Extension shares.

that the working of a London terminus is far different

I am afraid, until the latter end ofi) the completed,t,

when that line is completed, when that comtnunica•

large accession of traffic and a very considerable in-
crease in your revenue. I believe it will prove one
of the best feeders you have ; it will give you a coin
munication with the whole north of England ; and
there is no doubt that a large quantity
of goods from
the north of England will, for convenience and for ad -
vantage, come to this station, rather than go to flu
Euston-square station. We shall, as midland director.,

Mr. WADDINGTON, deputy-chairman, seconded the
motion.

A long. discussion ensued respecting the York Ex-
tension shares. It appeared that a sum of 2s. 4d. in-
terest was due .to the holders of the Extension shares
up to the present time, which the directors were not
authorised to pay, in consequence of the resolution of
both Houses of Parliament not allowing interest to be
paid out of capital.
Mr. Sergeant GAZELBE thought that the Hon.
Chairman ought to have opposed the Bill's being made
retrospective. He did not doubt, if he had done so,
he would have had great weight, and the measure
would have been modified.. Tnere was a great prin-
ciple involved in the queition of interest,—the prin-
ciple of justice to the holders of those shares who had
taken them on a certain understanding. The Learned
Gentleman proceeded at considerable length on the
subject of the extension shares, the fares, and other
matters. Great_disapprobation was expre:,,ed several
times by the meeting at his ob.ervations, and -con-
siderable uproar ensued. he chairman was oi liged
frequently to interpose and beg a hearing for tha
Learned Gentleman.

'1 he CHAIRMAN said that the Hon. Gentleman had
begun, not very-courteously, with a lecture to the
chturtnan.on his duties as a Member of .thellouie of
Commons, in which he had shown as great ignorance
of theduties of a Member of Parliament as it was
possible for a gentleman who professed to be learned
in the law. His duties were to look to the general
welf,re of the country, and not to the promotion of
particular interests. In performing his duties as a
Member of the House of Commons he had acted
without reference to his engagements elsewhere,.. and
only With a view to the e nth e pruinotioti of the inte-
rtsis of the cum', ry.—(Prolotigul applause.) He
would recommend the hurt. prAnirtor to peruse
Lilack-tone before he came there ,gain to hctiite. him
on hi: duties as a Member of l'arliament.—(Cietrs
and laughter.)
Two PR9PHIETORS having made some remarks in
reference to the expense of working the
The- CIiAiRIVAN said, in reply to the ob:,ervations of
the two proprietor's, that he had been deceived as to
the expense of working the line, their line was
worked more expensively than and line in England,
but they would see whether the working expenses
could not be reduced. With respect to the accommo-
dation given to the public, they Must remember that
when•he and his colleagues came into office there was
scarcely an engine or a truck on the line, and alinost
'the whole of the plant had to
,be provided. Under
these circumstances it was itnpo:sible to work with
regularity ; but he appealed to the press—he' up-
- pealed_ tol the. organs of the day- -whether they had
.het-every requirement. Even that
journal in which there was formerly such repeated
attacks upon their line bad since admitted this to be
the case. If Mr. Sergeant Gnz«dee would come and
-occupy-the chair, and pay the proprietors a dividend
of eight per cent, he (the chairman) would willingly
resign it to him. In conclusion, he recommended
then, not to take alarm and sell their stock, but to
stick by it. He would -pat thematter in a position
sati.factory to them all.—(Great applause.)
Resolutions were passed, adopting the report,'au-
thoriiing the directors to borrow all-such. sums on
debenture 3 as they were empowered 'to borrow;
ap-
.proving of the dividend of los. per share; and autho-
rising the common seal to be affixed to the agreement
with the Ambergate Company.
Thanks were voted to the chairman, to the direc-
tors, and the officers of the company, after whiCh the
meeting separated.

LOSS OF THE EMIGRANT SHIP CHARLES lIABBINCH
—On Thursdsy morning, the sth t f August, the Ame-
rican ship, Gnarls Habbinek, of 670 tons burden,
Prentz, master, bound from Rotterdam to New York,
with 262 emigrants on board, being in a leaky state on
coming down Chat nel, was run eft shore on the French
caitst, near Calais; eta hich plsee the rasseigers were all
safely landed, and, by the kindness of the authorities,
lodged in one of the vacant barre.cks of the town. The

—On Mr. Bingham taking his seat yesterday morning.
he was surprised at being inforkied that a malignant
fever was raging in the court, and that the messenger
and his family, consisting of six persona, who liveon the
premises, were lying dangerously ill of a fever of a moat
