This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity, of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have for a considerable time devoted theniselves ex-
elusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
doing; they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin

affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing this work, be directed and very much
assisted in investigating
and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com-
promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus
he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.

VA Patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury, is universally
recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing dis-
orders ineident.to the Eves and Head.

RIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE
AND DEAFNESS CURED!
By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
toi n duce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstene's celebrated
Herbaceous Compound, known as *f Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R. S. See J. B. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews ealls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the
" Student's Vade Mecum."—See the many thousand Letters
of Testimonies, of undoubted medical authority, with others of

Si r,—l feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself, by
using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my
93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country
26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. I do most sincerely
beli?ve I should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
purchased a 2a. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-
bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear wit-
ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable
blessing of our life—" Perfect Sight"—l declare has proceeded
from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffer-
ing, you may make what use you please of this letter, Mr. Wil-
cockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the
sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so nell
known in Nottingham.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant,

EXETER, Nov. 23.—(From a Correspondent.)
—The Protestant Association sent one of its hireling
firebrands here yesterday to address the people on the
enormous Oils likely to result from the encroachments
of Popery. The name of this gentleman is Mr. Lord—
his calling is that of a barrister. I presume that he is
not very successful in bagging briefs, so he has taken a
brief for true! Protestantism—all in the way of trade.
The meeting here took place at the Clarence Hotel,
Captain Bingham, R.N., was called to the chair. A great
number of the Working Men's Association were present,
and the Protestants began to see very early in the even-
ing that they were not likely to have the most unanimous
meeting. There were very few of the clergy present,
and not one of the leading clergy or dignitary farmers.
The lecturer proceeded in the usual strain of uncharit-
able vituperation of the Catholics. He was interrupted
by incessant references to the intolerance of the Protes;
tant Church in imprisoning people for Church-rates, and
seizing the goods of Quakers. Some of his most bitter
denunciations against the Catholics were answered by
" three cheers for the I?ev. Mr. Oliver," the exemplary
and benevolent priest of this city, three cheers for the
Lord Mayor of Dublin, three groans for 13ishop Phill-
putts, the Exeter Pope, &c. &c. The ladies were fright-
ened at these party cries, and took refuge on the plat-
form. A vote of thanks to the lecturer was met by a
vote of censure, as an amendment, 'pit by Mr. Besley ;
and when the chairman called for the doxology before
separation, some of the plebeians called for " God save
the Queen,"which the chairman consented to. The
nationalantem was then sung in a very orderly style,
and the doxology was then afterwards sung with due
solemnity, much .more than from the previous tenor of
the meeting I had anticipated. The meeting was a
failure, and it is doubted whether the Protestant Asso-
ciation will send another lecturer here.—The weather
here is most inclement, rain and 51101, falling heavily,
with a cold nort) wind.

The Half-yearly Q-eneral Meeting of the Proprietors of
this Company was lield)i.eSterda,k at the London Tavern,
for the purpose of r.ee6lying tlie,lloort of the Directors,
together with that CUbitt; and a general state-
ment of the accounts froni the
_§oretary.
Mr. Ilexr.x-ral..t Welt' the• Chair at one o'clock, and
called on the Secretary to read the advertisement calling
the meeting together.
It was then moved that the common seal of the Com-
pany should be attached to the register of the DirectorS;
which was agreed to.
Tha Secretary then read the followinir Report of the
Directors :
" Since the Half-yearly Meeting in May last, the
progress which has been made in those portions of the
line between Tunbridge and the junction with the,
Brighton Railway:has been such as to confirm the opi-'
nion then expressed by the Directors, that that district
may be opened-for traffic before the next Half-yearly
Meeting of the Proprietors.
" The contract for ballasting the line and laying the
permanent way between Redstone-hill and Tunbridge
has been some time in operation, and there is xeason to
believe thaethe eastern portion, about .eleven miles in
completed
milesleted btenfocroempthleete, which the end of the year,
lleeanvgitnhg,
willaboutb
e
Con-
tractor is 'under an engagement to finish early in the
"Under the recommendation of the Engineer-in-Chief
spring of 1842.
the Directors have adopted certain` improvements in the
form and description of sleepers, chairs, and fastenings ;
they have also substituted, in lieu of iron pins, treenails
Of 'compressed oak ; and from the experiments which
have been tried on that portion of the permanent way,
which has been laid for more than two miles, over which
the locomotive is daily passing, they hlve reason to ek- '
press their perfect accordance in the principle, and their
approbation of the result.
"Eastward of Tunbridge, for a distance of thirty-four
miles, the line has been contracted for, and the wprks
are in progress. A large portion of -the brickwork on
that part of the line :intended for the'nekt
,opening has
been finished, and the Contractor 'is bound,: to complete
and open the line to the,Staplehurii Mid; a. distance of
twelve miles east ot Tiinbridge, by the ist of July, 1842.
" That part of the line from, the .-Staplehurst-road to
Ashford, a distance of fourteen miles, is let to a respon-
sible contractor, to be. opened in the year 1842. At
this point the Dover tratfie will come upon the line, being
a distance of twenty 'miles from that place.
" Beyond Ashford another contract has been let, ex-
tending over nearly seven miles, the earthworks of which
requiring some time to co.nplete, it has been deemed ad-
visable to commence them at the' present time, in order
that their completion may be effected .by the time the
line is in a condition to be opened to Folkstone.
" The works in the Dover district have continued to
advance steadily and satisfactorily. The Warren and
Folkstone contracts have .bien completed to formation
level, and arrangements have 'been made for driving the
Saltwood Tunnel and other works in that district.
" The Directors have the satisfaction to state that the
works have sustained no injury from the continued rains
to which they have been subjected ; the embankments
being nearly closed, the late wet weather has been of
considerable service in consolidating them ; they have,
however, instructed Mr. Cubitt to prepare a Report on
the subject of the works, which will be submitted to the
meeting.
" The whole of the land from Redstone-hill to Dover
has been contracted for, and in addition to the amount
already paid under that head, as shown in the accounts,
there remained on the Ist of October last a sum unpaid,
amounting to 53,0911., a portion of which has since been
paid.
" Of the 400 shares forfeited at the last meeting, fifty
were redeemed on the following day by payment of the
calls then due, and ninety-one were sold at prices real-
izing more than was owing upon them. There are now
1,405 shares in the hands of the Company.
"By Resolutions of the Board, dated Aug. 17 last, the
Directors declared forfeited 7,372 shares, which were
then in arrear ; since that date payment has been made
on 2,513 shares Arrangements have been made for the
payment of others, and, unless between this period and
the day of tneaing the remainder be redeemed by pay-
ment of the call?, a resolution for confirming the declara-
tions"
There are, however, other cases in which the of forfeithre will be submitted to the meeting.
Di-
rectors have considered it more to the .advantage of the
Company not to forfeit' the shares, but have adopted
legal proceedings for the, recovery-tyf the arrears, and
they have reason 'itibelieve that'in theSe cases the whole
will eventually be recovered.
" The necessity of increasing the proposed accom-
modation at the London-bridge • station has been such,
that it became imperative on the Directors to co-operate
with the Brighton and Croydon Companies in its enlarge-
ment, and they doubt not•that the Proprietors will give
credit for the attention and assiduity of the managers in
carrying out the works.
" On referring to the accounts of expenditure by the
Directors, it will be seen that payments have been made
to the extent of 18,304/. 3s. 4d., on account of the joint
station at London-bridge. It is desirable that provision
should be made to repay the amounts thus advanced from
the funds of this Company, and also to provide for the
future payment of those which will be required for that
object, and as power has been granted to raise time sum of
120,000/. for the express purpose 'of the station at Lon-
don-bridge, it is proposed to submit to this meeting
a resolution authorising the raising of that amount, or
any part of it, agreeably to the prOviions of the Act
under which such power was given. -
" In concluding their Report, the DireetOrS desire to
express their unabated confidence in the soundness of
their undertaking ; convinced, as they are, that, whether
regarding the cost of the line, or the expected traffic re-
sulting therefrom, it must sooner or later prove itself
entitled to a better position than it now holds in the rail-
way world.

" the annexed account of the receipts and expenditure of
the Company shows a balance in hand of 26,3611.55. ld."
The statements of the receipts and expenditure up to
Ist October last were then read, showing receipts
788,852/. 2s. 9d., and expenditure 762,490/. 17s. Bd.,
leavinc, a balance in the hands of the Company of
26,3611.6 3s. Id.
The SECRETARY then read the Report of Mr. birbitt,'
from which we make the following extract. After stat-
ing his belief that the line might be opened to Tunbridge
during the month of May next, tia stated in former Re-
ports, it continued thus :
" Since the last General Meeting in May; the works.
between Red Hill and Tunbridge have been imremittingly
pushed forward ; and, but for unexampled wet weather
during the whole of the last month, all the embankfnents
upon 'that 20 miles of line Would have-been joined and
completed up tn formation level ; as it is, however, there
does not remain a month's work to complete all the em-
bankments ready fOr,='billasting ; and, setting aside the
delay, the works--aretin a' much improved state, from the
ebmefbo
before
being havit*been well soaked and consolidated
thus ensuring a more perfect rail-
wayae en ts,
ballasted;
in the first instance.
" It is satisfactory to report that ample stores of bal-
lasting, of a most excellent quality, have been found:along
the line, several miles of which, between Tunbridge and
Edenbridge, are already ballasted, and about three miles
of permanent way laid, on which the locomotive engines
of Messrs. Betts (the contractors for ballasting and lay-
ing the permanent way) are at work night and day, with
the intention of completing, if possible, a line of perma-
nent Way from Tunbridge to Edenbridge—a distance of
ten miles—by New Year's Day.
" The tunnel at Bletchingley is completed, with the
exception of its ends and entrances, and the whole will
be completed and ready for the rails by Christmas ; by
which time also, or the first week in January, I expect
the ballasting and laying the permanent way will be
commenced at the junction with the Brighton line, near
Bed Hill.

"From the experience we have now had of the per-
manent way, as regards the efficiency of the sleepers,
chairs, and fastenings for the rails, I trust the Proprietors
•Will have every reason to be satisfied with that important
part of this railway, whether eansidered with regard to
efficiency, first cost, or ultimate maintenance of way.
"In consequence of the storms, high tides, and wet
weather prevalent during the last month, various state-
ments were put forth in:the public papers relative to the
effects of the raitt;and high 'tides upon different parts or
the coast, and which were set forth in such a way as to
induce the readers'to suppose that injury of sonic kind,
or to some extent, had occurred to the works of the rail-

the works of this railway; but (setti injuriously affected
ng aside the loss of
time occasioned thereby) have in some instances been
attended with advantage.
" At Dover, it is true, the extraordinary high tides
have interfered with the general Coast Line both east
and west of the town, but not to a greater extent than
has occurred at former periods ; and it is also true, that
the late very heavy rains have acted upon the Chalk
Cliffs so as to cause portions of
.them to bill, but this, as
regards the Shakspeare Cliff, Where.the falls have prin-
cipally
occurred, has no interference with the Railway
Works, as the Shakspeare Tunnel was driven through
and at the back of that promontory for the very purpose.
of avoiding such casualties. And, as regards the falls of
chalk on the other parts of the Cliff connected with
the works, none have occurred but where the same was
in course of being removed .in, trimmine. a
. -‘own the
Cliffs to a saf.3 slope, or where it has all along formed
part of our plans to have it removed ; and in one case,
the point or prolliontory of chalk between the west
entrance Of the Shakspeare Tunnel and the commencement
of the sea wall, I have had plans, sections, and estimates
prepared for its removal for more than twelve months,
and nothing bat the groat cost (from 8,0001. to 10,0001.)
-combined with the hope and expectation that it would
come down of itself . in time, and the circumstance of
wanting ,the mein§ more in the Tunbridge division,
deterred me from having it removed before this time. I a

am happy, however, to find that my expectations as to
its coming down even without help are likely to be reit-
lized during the ensuing winter, and thus a large expense
saved, and the face of the cliff at that point rendered
perfectly safe. it is also gratifying to me to be able to
state that our great work,' the sea well, which is in various
states of progress iu different parts, has withstood all
the storms and high tides, and without injury, and
already forms a most perfect security to the foot of the
CHM against which it is built; both by protecting
them from the action of the sea in front, and perfectly
draining them (by means of culverts built in for that
purpose) from the land and spring waters at the back ;
besides the iraportant object for which it is being exe-
cuted, that of Forming a railway, 12 yards wide, at its
top and withiu a parapet formed by the whole thickness
of the wall."
The CHAIRMAN said, before, he moved that the Report
be received, he thought it desirable that he should make
some comment upon the last paragraph but one, which
spoke of unabated confidence in the soundness of the
undertaking. Lest it should be supposed that those
words were, like the Queen's Speech, a matter of
course, he thought it desirable to state that the Direc-
tors' continued to feel the greatest confidence in the
undertaking. Having for the last twelve or fourteen
years been much connected with railways, he had gene-
rally found that the cost per mile had greatly exceeded
the estimates. When he first became a Proprietor of this
railway a statement was put forth that they would require
a capital of 1,400,0001., with a power of borrowing
450,0001., thus making a capital of 1,850,0001. Every
thing which had been done at present satisfied the Board
that the estimates would prove to have been correct, or
at all events would not vary more than 10 or 15 per
cent. In great works of this kind it was necessary to
allow such a margin. There were railways which, after
being:estimated at two -millions, had cost • two millions
and a half. In looking at fifteen different lines of rail-
way, he found five had cost from 20,0001. to 30,000/...-per
mile ; two from 30,0001. to 40,000/. ; two from:40,0001.
to 50,0001. ; and six from 50,0001. to 60,000/. Ale con-:
fidently believed that the South Eastern and Dover line
would come within list No. I.—(Hear.) In the course
of the autumn he had met a very influential gentleman'
at Derby, who was a proprietor in the York and North
Midland Railway, and in the North Midland. On this
gentlemen asking him whether his confidence in this
railway continued, he referred to the fact that the shares
in the former, which had cost about 26,0001. per mile
were at a premium, whilst those in the latter, which had
cn.“ 36,000/, were .at a discount.—(Hear, hear.) His
confidence, therefore, in this line.continued to be un-
abated, and if it were not, he would candidly state it to
the meeting. He would not trouble this meeting any
further upon the subject, but would propose " that the
Report of the Directors now read to the meeting be re-
ceived and adopted, and that the same, together with
the Report of Mr. Cubitt, be circulated among the
proprietors."
The question having heen put that the Report be
adopted,
Mr. TYRRELL said, that before the Report was
adopted, he wished to make a few observations. The
accounts were made out in a very plausible manner; but
he was of opinion that they ought to have been laid be-
fore the Proprietors in a more satisfactory manner. He
found that 38,7021. had been stated as the value of cer-
tain shares. Now, he did not think that the shares
could be put down at that price ;..and they might never
receive that sum. They could come to no conclusion as
to the amount of loss liable to be sustained upon the
shares from the estimates then before them. Again,
he found that there was a certain sum put down for the
inspection of works. Might he ask who the inspectors
were, and how the expenses had been incurred ?
The CHAIRMAN could not state the details of those
expenses, but he could assure the Hon. Gentleman that
he had not received a farthing of the sum.
The SECRETARY said that he would take an opportu-
nity of replying to the whole statement of Mr. Tyrrell
at the same time, rather than answer detached questions.
Mr. SMITH thought that it would be better to answer
the question at once, not that he felt that any particular
courtesy was due to Mr. Tyrrell.
The SECRETARY said that if it were the wish of the
meeting he should at once state that the half-yearly ex-
penses for inspection amounted to 143/. These were the
travelling expenses of the Directors along the whole line,
in their examination of the progress of the works.
Mr. TYRRELL called upon Mr. Smith to explain, or to
withdraw certain expressions which he had used.
Mr. SMITH said that he had stated that the meeting
and the Company owed nothing to Mr. Tyrrell indi-
vidually, but at the same time, he felt that he should be
treated with all due courtesy, and that his questions
should be answered.
Mr. TYRRELL wished to ask next, what was the salary
paid to the Secretary?
The CHAIRMAN would put it to the meeting,. whether
the question should be answered.—(No, no.) He thought
it would be invidious to call upon the Directors, to name
the salary of the Secretary individually.
Mr. TYRRELL wished that the salary should be stated.
—(Hisses.)
The CHAIRMAN then put the question that the Di-
rectors should inform the meeting of the amount of
salary paid to the Secretary._ The motion was almost
unanimously rejected.
Mr. Tv-at:ELL said that as his questions were treated
in that way he should make no further observation.
The SECRETARY said, with respect to the accounts
that had been submitted to the meeting, an allegation
had been made that the Company had taken credit for a
sum of 38,0001. as assets in the hands of the Proprietors.
All he had to say with respect to that was, that if the
Hon. Proprietor who had made that allegation had
looked to the debit side of the account, he would have
found that the Company were entitled to an equal sum
per share on the credit side ofthe account.—(Hear.)
Mr. PARSONS considered that it was unfair that the
present Company should be censured for the course it
had adopted in the management of its affairs, whereas
it had, in that respect, set an example to other Com-
panies.—(Hear, hear.) As to the statement of the ac-
counts, he thought them most explicit.—(Hear, hear.)
He felt obliged to Mr. Cubitt for his Report. He had
some questions he wished to put to the Directors, espe-
cially as to the London-bridge station.
The CHAIRMAN said, that with respect to the London-
bridge station there had been a good deal of discussion.
He believed the cost of that would amount to about
170,0001, 85,000/. of which would be borne by each
Company.
Mr. "'Alison hoped there would be no extraordinary
decorations in the station.

The CHAIRMAN said there was a feeling among the
persons who had the management of that department of
the folly of decorations. Ile thought it was very likely
the London-bridge station would altogether be a sepa-
rate matter from the other expenses of the Company.
Mr. PARSONS wished to know whether any arrange-
ment had been made by the Directors to separate first and
second class passengers as they were going to and from
their seats?

The CHAIRMAN was not prepared to give any answer
upon the subject.
Mr. PARSONS understood that there was only about
six miles of the work unlet.
Mr. CUBITT observed that the works might be said to
be let all the way to Dover, with the exception of about
five miles.

The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question from Mr.
Parsons, with respect to the permanent way, stated
that the Directors were perfectly satisfied that the plan
they had adopted with respect to, it was the best they
could pursue. He was glad to see a gentleman present
who, he thought, would give a similar opinion, and whose
judgment he had no doubt would have great weight with
the proprietors.
Mr. BETTS expressed his entire confidence in the mode
adopted on the railway, both with respect to the sleepers
and chairs. They exceeded anything he ever saw. The
road, which was finished, was three miles, and it had
been worked over for the last two months, and he should
say that nearly one hundred thousand tons had been
conveyed over the rail, and this must lfavp proved the
quality of that road, especially considering the bad wea-
ther; and if there had been any tendency to give way
this weather would.have proved it. They had examined
the sleepers to prove „„whether they had sunk from the
effects of that bad weather, and they found they had not
sunk at all.—(Hear, hear.) He had expressed his con-
viction that this was the, best road which ever had been
put down.— (Cries of " Hear, hear.") He was fully con-
, vineed that this road would not cost 30,0001. per mile,
and that future railways would all adopt their plans.
The materials were of the best quality he had ever seen.
His conviction was, that the present sleepers would be
undisturbed for 30 years, and he did not think that any
other railway company in the kingdom could say the
same.
The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Betts was the successor to
Mr. Mackintosh, and he was sure they could rely on his
statement. After that statement, he (the Chairman)
thought the anonymous letter, or letters, Which appeared
in the papers, would no longer be any subject for com-
ment, nor was it his intention to have done so, but that
some Proprietors might have felt some dissatisfaction; and
he thought he should not have been acting strictly
correct towards them, had he not done so.
He was exceedingly glad that Mr. Betts was present, as
he had expressed an accurate opinion on the subject.
Mr. BErrs again expressed his firm conviction that
the sleeping road was the best that could possibly be
adopted, and he felt convinced that the principle would
be adopted on the railways throughout the kingdom.
The CHAIRMAN said it must be very satisfactory to
find that the South Eastern and Dover Railway was not
so much behind the rest of the world. He was about to
_putit to the Meeting that the Reports be adopted, when,
-.;Mr. LEYCOCK wished to ask whether or not the first
portion of the railway was to be a joint property of both
lines, or whether the Company would purchase their
share from the Croydon Company, and, if so, whether
the payment would be immediate or delayed, and bear
interest ?
The CHAIRMAN said he could hardly answer the ques.
tion at present, but he thought the Company would not
purchase the half of the line.
Mr. ELLIOTT hoped that no exaggerated statements
would go forth to the public, as he was one of those who
believed that a great deal of mischief was done in this
way. But he believed from the statements he gad heard
made, that exaggeration had not been resorted to. He
begged to ask whether additional capital would be re-
quired ?
The CHAIRMAN said it was not in his power to answer
that question. He hoped the statement that had been

- -
made would induce parties -possessed of money to come
forward, and he, was sure-they would, after this meeting,
look at that line of railway in a different light to what
they had hitherto done.
Mr. CUBITT said that perhaps the Chairman would
allow him to answer the questions of Mr. Elliott. The
cost of the engineeriag .department would be about
21.000/. per mile, and that department which did not
belong to the engineer wou4l amount to about 6,0001. or
7,000/. more ; therefore th 4 'Chairman was right when he
said the expenses would not exceed 30,000/. per mile,
including the whole of the losses. Indeed, he (Mr.
Cubitt) thought the expenses would be considerably
below 30,0001. The works which had been' completed
only averaged 22,0001. per mile, and that seas more than
two-thirds of the whole
.In reply to a question from a Proprietor;'
The CHAIRMAN stated that the railway was 78 miles
in length.
Mr. CUDITT, in reply to a question from a Proprietor,
stated that the sleepers were being liyanised upon the
high-pressure principle ; and expressed his belief that it
would have a most beneficial effectin preventing decay
from vegetable -stllistances.
The Cakiniirrn said, before the question' was put, he
wished-tO tifefe*-iVords in reference to the loss of
184,0001. I‘3- recollected that great benefit had
resulted *Om the slow way in which they had proceeded.
He believed that had they gone on as railways generally
had done, both their preeOnt and future expenditure
would have been much healier than they were likely to
be under present circumstances.
A PROPRIETOR made seine allusion to the manner of
constructing the stations; Having lately been abroad
and seen the way in which such things were done in
other countries, he hoped the stations would be such as
Englishmen might be
_pedaul Of. He would rather re-
CeiVe a fess dividend than sacrifice such an object.—(A
laugh.)
The CHAIRMAN was in favour of erecting temporary
stations for one or two years. They might then, if they
found themselves in a position to do so, erect stations of
a more ornamental kind. The great evil in railways
generally was, that expensive work had been constructed
before they were opened, which might easily have been
deferred to a subsequent period.
The resolution for the adoption of the Report was
then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously.
Resolutions were then passed, declaring a great num•
her of shares to be forfeited.
The CHAIRMAN next put the following resolution :
" That the Directors be, and re, hereby ordered and
directed to dispose of the shares„the forfeiture of which
had been confirmed at this meeting, in the manner di-
rected by the Act of Parliament, male and passed in the
6th William IV., incorporating the Company."
Mr. HILLYARD thought that the sale of so many shares
was a matter of very great importance. Every one was
aware that one of the"princiPal causes of the depression
of the affairs of the Company was the immense number
of forfeited shares which were supposed to be hanging
over the market. Now, in his opinion, the best mode of
disposing of those shares would be to offer them, in the
!lest instance, to the existing Proprietors, who had paid
up the full amount of their calls.
The SECRETARY said he believed such a step could not
be taken.
Mr. HILLYARD said, it seemed to him that if the Di-
rectors had the power of disposing of the shares by pri-
vate contract, they had a perfect right to enter into such
a contract with their own Proprietors. That seemed to
him a very rational mode of getting rid of those shares;
and he believed that if the shares were so offered, they
would all be absorbed. There was an instance in point
It appeared that the Bristol and Exeter Company
having also had a great number of forfeiture shares, it
was proposed that they should be absorbed among the
Proprietors, and he (Mr. Hillyard) understood that that
course having been taken, the shares of the Company
were in a very short time raised five per cent. in the
market. He believed that a similar course, on the part
of the Proprietors of the present Company, would be
attended with similar success. Of course he would leave
to the Proprietors to say at what price they should dis-
pose of the shares. He (Mr. Hillyard) would certainly
be ready to take part of them for himself.
The CHAIRMAN and several other gentlemen said that
they should be ready to do so too.
Mr. 11/LLvAnn thought that the shares should be ab-
sorbed among all the Proprietors, according to the amount
of their previous payments.
The CHAIRMAN felt obliged to Mr. Hillyard for his
suggestion, and he would take care that it should be
attended to.
Mr. SMITH said it was his opinion that the shares for-
feited should be distributed and got rid of. It was the
number of shares that was supposed to hang over the
market that kept down the prices of them. For himself
he 'should be glad to take five shares.
- • The CHAIRMAN said that himself and his colleagues had
been anxious to get rid of the shares as fast as they could.
Mr. lithisAan wished to know whether there would
Le any objection to such a resolution as the following :
—" That before the Directors disposed of the forfeited
share's, they should offer them to the present Share-
holders at certain prices."
The CHAIRMAN thought it would be better to leave
the Directors unfettered, as he was sure what had been
stated by the Hon. Proprietor would have its weight
with the Directors.
Mr. lInnvARD was satisfied with the assurance of the
the Chairman. He was sure that what ha had proposed
was sound in principle, and would be good in operation.
The CHAIRMAN had doubt if the proposition of the
Hon. Proprietor was adopted, the forfeited shares would
soon be disposed of ; but he would rather that it
should be an open question.
Mr. HILLYARD thought this was a matter where Pro-
prietors might interfere, without being thought they had
any distrust in the Directors.
The CHAIRMAN observed that, supposing any difficulty
arose, it would be satisfactory to him to have this ques-
tion set at rest; but supposing any difficulty arose, might
they not be shackled ?
Mr. HILLYARD did not think any lawyer in West-
minster Hall could object to the proposition which he had
made. He would draw up a resolution as to what he in-
tended, and submit it to the meeting.
Mr. FIELD proposed a resolution to the effect—" That
the present meeting, in consideration of the zealous and
efficient co-operation of Mr. John Williams on the
original formation of the Company, and heavy pecuniary
sacrifices to which such exertions have exposed him, that
493 shares now forfeited be allotted to him without the
payment of any future calls . that these shares be kept
by the Company as security for the money lent to him ;
and that the proceedings commenced by the Company
should be stayed ; and that out of the proceeds of the
shares the debt be paid."
Mr. MARK seconded the proposition.
Mr. SMITH thought theyhad not the power of pass-
ing so extraordinary a resolution.
Mr. FIELD ,expressed a hope that the motion would
not be passed over in silence.
A PROPRIETOR said it seemed to him that this ques-
tion was quite an anomaly. The mover wished to lay
out 12,0004 for the sake of receiving back 6,0001., and if
that was the case, he (the Proprietor) did not see any
advantage would arise to the Company—(A laugh)—
and he therefore was quite prepared to hold up his hand
against it, as self preservation was the first law of
nature, and he thought they ought to take care of
themselves.
The CHAIRMAN said he was not able to speak to the
subject, although he was a Proprietor at the time. Had
he been able to have given any information on the sub-
ject, he should have been very glad. The Chairman
was about to put the resolution, when
Mr. FIELD said he should be glad to refer the question.
The CHAIRMAN said he could not take upon himself
that responsibility.
The resolution was then put and lost.
Mr. HILLYARD then proposed the following resolu-
tion:—" That if no legal objection exists to such a course,
the Directors be requested to offer the forfeited shares
pro rata, to such existing Proprietors as have paid up their
calls in full at the time such offer is made at such price
as the Directors may determine."
Mr. ROY seconded the motion.
Mr. SMITH said he was so satisfied with the Whole
conduct of the Directors that lie should be sorry to do
anything which might have the appearance of dictating
heshould be left perfectly free.
thought
an thought he had obviated that difficulty
r
by leavi fng it to the Directors to fix the price.
A PROPRIETOR observed, that if the resolution were
carried; the Directors should he directed to offer the
shares at a certain price, otherwise he thought they
would be placed in a very awkward position. -
The SECRETARY said there was this practical objec-
tion, that by limiting purchases to the Proprietors they

nagement of their own affairs, by deference to those
who had brought them into embarrassment, by not per-
forming the undertaking which they had entered into.
The CHAIRMAN said he was aware of that, but he for
one was quite prepared to bear the responsibility.
Mr. FIELD doubted whether it would be advisable to
press any resolution at present on the subject of the sale
of the shares.
The CILURMAN said that he could feel no objection to
the resolution proposed by Mr. Hillyard. He had no
doubt but the Proprietors would purchase up the entire.
of the forfeited shares.

Mr. SMITH said that if the Directors had no objection
to the reiolution, he should of course withdraw his amend-
ment.
Mr. HILLYARD said he believed that the immediate
effect of the resolution would be to raise the value o
shares ; and, besides, they wanted to get immediate pos-
session, not merely of the shares, but of the money for
which they would sell, for the purpose of carrying on the
undertaking. If the Proprietors did not take up the
entire number of the shares they would still have the
public market open to them. By passing the resolution
they would show the public that they. were themselves of
opinion that the undertaking was likely to be a pro-
fitable one.
The original motion was then put by the CHAIRMAN
and agreed to, as well as the resolution of Mr. Hill-
yard, the amendment of Mr. Smith having been with-
drawn.

The motion was then put and agreed to.
Mr. FIELD thanked the Proprietors for the kind reso-
lution they had come to. They might go home with
the consciousness that they had relieved an excellent
individual from a weight which pressed upon him very
painfully.-Alfear, hear) . •
Mr. LEYCOGK wished to ask the Chairman, before the
meeting separated, wlqether the Proprietors had heard
anything of a determination on the part of the French
Government to commence a line of railway between Ca-
lais and Paris. Such a worki if completed, would mate-
rially improve the affairs of the Company.
The CHAIRMAN said, that the affair had been mooted
by the French Government,' and he was convinced that
the project would ultimately becarriedout. The question
was, in his opinion, one merely oftime ; but the project
was not in a sufficiently' "forward state to have justified
the Directors in bringing it before the meeting. He
had lately happened to have met at Dover the Chairman
of a Company in the North, and the ex-Chairman of the
South-Western Company; and it was certainly no little sub-
j ect of triumph to him to:find such gentlemen on their way to
France preferring the Dover line, even though one of
them was so largely interested in the prosperity of a
different line. But no doubt these gentlemen thought that
a voyage of two or three hours was less disagreeable
than one of twelve or thirteen hours.—{Hear.)
Mr. LEYCOCK wished to know whether the Directors
had come to any determination to establish branch lines
to Canterbury, Margate, and other towns in the -vicinity
of the main line ?
" The CHAIRMAN said that no determination had yet
been come to on the subject. But that also appeared to
him to be a question of time; and the Proprietors might
depend upon it that as soon as the Directors found they
ha&the neeessary funds they would carry out the project
referred to.

A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman for
his services to the Company, and the Chairman having
returned thanks, the meeting separated.

BRITISH IRON COMPANY.
A meeting of the Proprietors of this Company took
place yesterday at the Company's office, Broad-street,'City,.
for the purpose of taking a ballot with respect to the re-
solutions proposed by Captain Richardson, at the meeting
lately held at the London Tavern. Our reporter on ap-
plying- for admission was told that the meeting was
strictly private, and that no person from the press would,
therefore, be allowed to attend. •

BANK OF ENGLAND.
The reports which have prevailed for the last
week past, that the Bank of England was about
to raise the rate of interest to Six per Cent., has
been entirely contradicted by the following no-
tice, which was posted at the Bank of England :
" The Governor and Company of the Bank of
England are ready, until further notice, to re-
ceive applications for loans upon the deposit of
approved Bills of Exchange not having more
than six months to run, Exchequer Bills, and
East India Bonds ; such loans to be repaid on or
before the 14th January next, with interest at
the rate of Five per Cent. per annum, and to be
for sums of not less than 2,0007, each.cc
Bank of England, Nov. 26, 1841." 1

LIGHTING OFT-
TURNPIKE ROADS.
PARISH OF TOTTENHAM.
A meeting of the ratepayers within 400 yards on each
side of the turnpike road leading from Stamford-hill to
Edmonton was held in the Grammar-schOol at the High-
cross in this parish last evening. Mr. G. E. Shuttle-
worth was unanimously called to the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN briefly described the object for which
they had assembled, and read the requisition, which had
been prepared by Counsel, the substance of which he had
put in the form of a resolution.
On a division the numbers Nsere-100 for the lighting,
and 17 against it.
Messrs. Fowler, Fox, Dean, Boon, IV. B. Nunnings,
and Thomas Ashwell were then elected inspectors for
the year.
The CHAIRMAN having produced an estimate of the
probable cost of lighting the 59 lamps heretofore lighted.
by the Commissioners of the Turnpike Roads for one
year, and having also stated the probable amount of the
rate for the district in question,
It was moved, seconded, and carried, " That the
amount to be raised should be 3601., which would be
produced by a rate of 41d. in the pound upon houses,
and lid. in the pound upon land."
The CHAIRMAN stated that about 94 small tenements
assessed below 101., and producing at the above rate about
17/. per annum, would be met, he had every reason to
believe, by voluntary payments from gentlemen residing
beyond the limits of the district in question, and which
he had no doubt the inspectors would apply in discharge
of those rates. Hence, he observed, that the only ob-
jection raised to the adoption of the 3d and 4th William
IV., c. 90, would be obviated in a way equally gratifying
to all parties.

Thanks were then unanimously voted to the Chairman
for the very able manner in which he had conducted the
business of the evening.
This was perhaps the largest meeting of influential
persons ever known in this parish. As the Act of Par-
liament requires the inspectors to do certain acts, some
days must elapse before the lighting can take place.
HONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
POST.--To judge from the well-concerted statements
we meet with in some of the newspapers, and which
may, we presume, be regarded in the light of feelers, the
Lombard-street houses are desirous of negotiating for
the temporary use of the moneys periodically paid
into the Bank en account of the Exchequer. The more
rapid and imperative mode of getting in the public re-
venue alluded to by our Contemporariesa,raes natowti

rate of 5 per cent., exacting any advance on that rate
which the assistance. required by the mercantile classes
might justify. Fr 014.6 to 7 per cent. has been not un-
commonly demanded and given.
It must be apparent to every one that the yeriodical
accumulation in the hands of the Bank of 'England of-
millions of the present necessarily contracted amount of
circulation, while the surplus bullion of the Bank does
not exceed four or five millions, cannot but- bc- produc-----
tive of great derangements in the Money Market. The
only remedy for such a state of things is for the Bank to
lend out the public moneys accumulated to trustworthy
persons at a rate of interest somewhat below that at
which they make their ordinary advances preparatory to
the close of the financial quarter. The object would
thus be attained ; but the jealousy the Directors would
have to encounter, and the difficulty of making pre-
ferences that might be most consonant with the general
interest, form what many may think an almost insuper-
able barrier to the successful adoption of any expedient

of that nature.
The Lombard-street houses feel, we dare say, the awk-
wardness of the matter ; but the suggestion made by
them through their particular organs, may possibly be
improved upon ; for it is certainly one that is entitled to
the attention of the public.
TIMES.—One remark made in the city on Lord Mont_
eagle's official netices respecting Exchequer bills is worth
repeating, which is, that though he informs the public
of the amount of bills stamped as genuine he says nothing
of those impounded as spurious. At his own proper
whenever that may be, this is a point which should
also
be made known officially.

We are desired to state, in reference to a paragraph in
an evening paper, in which is announced, on the autho-
rity of letters from Kendal, the. failure of a bank there,
and
" which has hitherto been considered very wealthy,"
that with respect to the two banks which would
swer
this description, viz., that of Wakefield, Crewdson,
Co., Who keep their London account with Messrs.
Masterman and Co., and the Bank of Westmoreland, who
keep their account with Messrs. Glyn A n
and there Co., can-
not be, it is supposed, the least foundation for this state-
ment, since neither of the London banking-houses re-
ferred to have any information on the subject ; but, on
the contrary, consider them to be removed from any
danger of that kind. The above are the only two banks
in the town Of Kendal.
