DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most
perfect security in a large paid•up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its annual
income being upwards of 82,C00/.
In 1841 the Company added a bonus of 2/. per cent. per annum on
the sum assured to all policies of the participating class from the
time they were effected.
The bonus aided to policies from March, 1834, to the 31st of De-
csmher, 1840, is as follows:

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a

servanceof the instructions herein contained the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach In health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what slum,
To reach in health full threescore rears and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understan I ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quapty promulgated tluough
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief. it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our MU organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are. expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the lik e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation )f our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

. • . MONDAY, JeLY 27.
LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY (LON-
DON-11RIDGE EX'FfSION) BILL,
The Earl of Lincoln reported from the l..3eleci Com-
mittee on Group- (67) of Railway Bills; that, in the case
of the London and South-Western Hallway- (London bridge
Extension) Bill, the Committee had ,examined into the
several matters required by the 'standing orders to be in-
quirai into by Committees on Railway-41HD, and agreed to
the following report :
That the proposed work is an e4ision of the South-
Western Railway, and proposed to tie constructed by the
London and South-Western RailiVay Cdmpany, out of their
subscribed capital ; in consequence Av,hereof the first six
sections of the 87th Standing Order AI 49,t appear to the
Committee to be-applicable to the Kesent
That the proposed railway is a compl* and integral line
between the termini specified; that igfrom the intended
new station of the said London and 'outt-Western Railway,
now about to be constructed near the 'Zork-road, Lambeth,
to the Thames, near London-bridge, all in the county of
Surrey, and is not part of a more extended plan, now in con-
templation, and likely to be hereafter submitted to Parlia-
ment, and the calculation of remuneration does not depend
upon any contemplated extenn. •
That no report-from the Board of Trade, in regard to the
Bill, has been referred by the House to the Committee.
That there is no plane proposed to be worked by assistant
engines, either stationary or locom,,tive.
That there is no pecaliar engineering difficulty on the pro-
posed line.
That there is no tunnel.
That the gradients and curves are favourable; the steepest
gradient being 1 in 467, and that at its divergence from the
metropolitan extension of the said London and South-
Western Railway; and the smallest radius of a curve being 1
furlong 5 chains, at the London-bridge, terminus.
That the length of the line to.#42rApixgr Thames is 1 mile,
1 furlong, 8 chains, and 30 links::

That it is not intended that the Railway should cross ally
turnpike or public road on a level.
That the amount of the estimate of the cost and other
expenses to be incurred up to the time of the completion
of the Railway is 500,000/. ; which appears, to be supported
by evidence, and to be fully adequate for the purpose.
That the estimated charge of the annual expenses of the
railway is 30 per cent.; anti the calculations on which it is
founded have been Eurticiently proved.
That the number of assents, dissents, and neuters upon
the line, distinguishing owners from occupiers, are as stated
in the appendix (A); but, from the peculiar nature of the
property traversed, it does not seem possible to state the
length and amount of property belonging to each class.
That Mr. Tite, the architect and surveyor, was examined
in support of the Bill, Mr. Joseph Locke being engineer.
That the following petitions were referred to the Com-
mittee, viz. :

A petition from the Commissioners of Sewers for the limits
extending from East Moulsey, in Surrey, to Ravensbourne,
in Kent, alleging that the intended lire would interfere with

the sewers, sluices, watercourses, walls, banks, arches, &c. ;
that they are compelled by Acts of Parliament to keep the
same in complete order; and that provisions ought to be in;-
serted in the Bill for their protection.
A petition from the Commissioners for paving the streets
within the borough of Southwark, and certain parts adjoin-
ing, and for cleansing, lighting, and watching the same,
alleging that the proposed line would pass over, by means of
arches and bridges, certain thoroughfares through which
there is great traffic; that the traffic through the thorough-
fares through which the line proposes to pass would be im-
peded on account of the said arches and bridges ; that it
would interfere with their rights and interests; and that
there are divers clauses injurious to them as Commissioners.
A petition from the Commissioners for paving, cleansing,
lighting, and watching the streets within the manor of South-
wark, otherwise called the Clink, or Bishop of Winchester's
Liberty, in the parish of St. Saviour, Southwark, in the
county of Surrey, alleging that the proposed line is intended
to be built upon arches of a certain height, and passes
through a populous neighbourhood, the effect of which would
be injurious to the property in the neighbourhood ; that it
would be inconvenient and injurious; that the traffic would
be impeded; that thetates would be diminished ; that they
ought to receive compensation; and that provision ought to
be made with respect to arches, &c.

That the Committee are satisfied of the fitness in an en-
gineering point of view of the proposed work.
That there are no special circumstances of which, in
the opinion of the Committee, it is desirable that the
House should be informed, excepting that the delay which
has arisen in the progress of this Bill is to be attributed
only to the fact, that the Commission appointed by her
Majesty, pursuant to an address from the House of Com-
mons of the 23d of March last, to investigate and report
their opinion upon the various railway projects of which the
termini were proposed to be established within or in the im-
mediate vicinity of the metropolis, had not made its report
in time for its submission to a Committee of your House at an
earlier period of the session.
That the attention of the Committee has been directed to
the report from the Royal Commission in regard to the termini
of the railways in the metropolis, which was referred to them
by the House; and, in passing the present Bill, the Com-
mittee have in so far sanctioned the recommendation con-
tained in such report.
The Earl of Lincoln further reported from the Com-
mittee—That they had examined the allegations contained
in the preamble of the Bill, and had amended the same, by
omitting the extension to the High-street in Southwark,
conceiving the same to be unnecessary; and had found the
allegations of the Bill, as amended, to be true; and bad gone
,hrough the Bill, and made several amendments thereunto.

Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon; Brigade-Major Cuppage, and
Captain . Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quart ermaster-G en eral,
with a number of officers of the Royal Regiment of Artliery.

the square where the horses of the brigade of artillery are
kept, and witnessed the short period required to bring out
and mount them in review order. The troops of Royal Horse
Artillery, under the command of Colonel Wylde, C. 8.,
with Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, K.H., second in com-
mand, walked to the common, and at the west gate of the
garrison his Royal Highness and the Grand Duke wit-

affording evident gratification to the royal visitors by the
celerity and precision of the movements. The troops were
then exercised in the whole of the evolutions of the
Royal Horse Artillery, and though the ground was very
dry and hard, performed the whole in a most admirable
and highly efficient manner. On the gun carriages being
dismounted, his Royal Highness Prince. George went
up with his Royal Highness the Grand Duke, and
witnessed the details of the movements very minutely, and
at the conclusion thanked Colonel Whyte and the officers
and men in the name of the Grand Duke and himself, for
the gratification they had experienced in witnessing the ex-
ercises of the gallant corps under his command. His Royal
Highness was received, on arriving at the common, with a
general salute, the brass band of the corps playing the Na-

the period the royal visitors remained at the garrison the'
royal standard was hoisted at the mortar battery, and their
Highnesses witnessed the last round of mortar practice car-
ried on by the gentlemen cadets, at a flagstaff eight hun-
dred and fifty yards distance.
After leaving the common their Highnesses proceeded
to the mess-room of the Ordnance corps, and partook
of an elegant dejeune, the band of the Royal Artillery playing
in front several of the finest airs and marches. Shortly
after three o'clock their Highnesses proceeded to the landing
place, and embarked in one of the Waterman's steamers for
town.

DIRECT LONDON AND IVIAIv-
CHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY (REMING-

TON'S LINE).
A special meeting of the shareholders in this company took
place yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of de-
termining upon the propriety of winding up the affairs of the
Company, and deciding whether the dissolution should be
deemed an act of bankruptcy on the part of the company.
The meeting was convened for twelve o'clock, but at a
quarter to one o'clock there was only one of the directors
present, Mr. Bass, and much impatience was manifested on the
part of the proprietary.
At last, Mr. D. W. HARVEY moved that Mr. M. Bass, as
a shareholder, and not in any other character, be elected to
the chair.
• The resolution was unanimously carried.
A SiiniumioLDEn said that he had not seen any advertise
ment calling the meeting.
The SOLICITOR said that it had been properly advertised
in the Gazette and in three London daily papers.
Mr. D. W. Harvey, Mr. Boyd, and Mr. Pocock were then
appointed scrutineers.
A SHAREHOLDER desired to know how many shares had
been paid up ?
The CHAIRMAN—About 51,000, and we shall require about
17,000 shares to constitute a meeting.
A SHAREHOLDER desired to know if the Chairman was
prepared to lay a statement before the meeting?
The CHAIRMAN said that he was not so prepared ; be
had been left alone, and be wished to be allowed
to state his connexion with the line. He had always
avoided any connexion with railways, and it was not
until a very late period, and after repeated solicitation,
that :be consented to join the scheme. When he
was elected a member of the committee, it was
under the express understanding that he would not be re-
quired to attend the meetings in London, but that he would
facilitate the line in the country, where bis own property lay.
But when many of the directors had retired from various causes,
and when he had learned the exact state of the affairs of the
Company, he then considered that he was bound, as far as
he was able, to set them right. He discovered that a
very large sum of money had been paid to the soli-
citor, a course against which be protested, and took
further proceedings. The shareholders were no doubt aware
that a bill had been filed against all the directors in the line
for an account and restitution of the sums of money in -
trusted to them. The bill was most comprehensive,
and an action bad been commenced against himself
by a shareholder for the restitution of the deposits. lie
considered that Rastrick's Company bad done everything
which became honourable men, and he did not see
that they could require back the money which had
been paid to them. Ile considered that if legal proceedings
were taken the very small sum which remained would not
pay one shilling in the pound. With regard to the accounts,
be had been very desirous to have obtained them for the
shareholders, but he was unable to effect that object.
A SHAREHOLDER—What may beabout the balance which
remains?
CHAIRMAN—It is between 7,0001. and 10,0001.—(Hisses.)
I regret the smallness of the sum, gentlemen, as much as any
of you.
Mr. Pococx moved the dissolution of the Company. The
affairs of the Company had been conducted in a most dis-
graceful and discreditable manner.—(Hear, hear.) When-
ever he applied for information by letter to the directors
he was unattended to, and when he applied. person-
ally at the office, he was met by a little boy
who would say, " Really, sir, I',know nothing about it." The
number of shares which had been allotted were 51,000, and
those which ought to have been were 100,000.
In answer to a question,
The CHAIRMAN said that 42,0001. had been paid to Rat-
trick's Company.
A SHAREFIOLDER—FOT what?
(Cries of "Nothing, nothing.")
Mr. RICHARDSON seconded the resolution, which was
unanimously carried.
It was also declared that the dissolution should not be
taken as an act of bankruptcy.
The meeting then separated.

WORCESTER, HEREFORD, ROSS,
AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.
A meeting of the shareholders in this project was held yes-
terdayat one o'clock, at the offices 449, West Strand, in terms
of the Act 8 and 9 Vict., for the purpose of determining on a
dissolution of the Company.
Sir R. Price, having taken the chair, called on the Secre-
tary to read the advertisement convening the meeting.
The following gentlemen were then elected scrutineers—
Mr. Avery, of Gloucester; Mr. Stallard and Mr. Peterson,
Temple .
The Ch AMMAN read the committee's 'report, which stated
that though the Company had failed on the standing orders,
the committe were of opinion that the line would have fully
realised all that had been held out in the prospectus; that
there was a disposable sum of 61,889/. Bs., and that there
would be a dividend of 1/. 4s. per share immediately, and
a final dividend when the accounts were made up.
The CHAIRMAN afterwards intimated a wish that all pre-
sent who were interested in the line should wait after the
meeting to see whether they might not retain the ground,
with a view of forming a company to make the line.
Mr. OXENttAM asked whether the scheme bad not failed
through a mistake of the engineer? If so, he thought his
accounts ought not to be paid.
Mr. BARER said that the Company had pressed Mr. Brunel
into their service at a time when there was a great push in
business, and the mistake was not his, or one for which he
was accountable. The mistake was made by a local sur-
veyor, who was willing to submit his accounts to the revision
of any respectable engineer.
A PROrRIETOR asked how many shares had been issued,
and how many paid upon?
The SECRETARY said 50,000 shares had been allotted, and
46,894 had been paid upon, which shares had returned
98,4791. Bs.
Mr. HALL put several questions on the accountsi which were
read to the meeting in full. After hearing that Mr. Brunel
was the only engineer whose name had ever appeared in
connexion with the scheme, he said it was his opinion that
Mr. Brunel was responsible for the loss which the Com-
pany had sustained in consequence of the mistake, and
that lie was of opinion also that the Company, if the share-
holders would be secure, should be dissolved by bankruptcy.
—(Hear, hear.) The shareholders would, he was sure, lock
to Mr. Brunel for a return of the money which had been lost
in consequence of the gross mistake, a mistake nothing more
or less than making the river Severn run up hill—(Laughter.)
Mr. AVERY hoped, as the shareholders could not appoint a
Committee of their own to examine into the: accounts, such
instructions would be given to the gentlemen who had the
winding up of the affairs as would impress them with the im-
perative necessity of looking narrowly into the accounts.
Mr. BAKER felt assured that allthose on the committee were
as much inclined as any in the room "to cut down, as far as
reasonable, all the accounts. He confessed he was startled at
the amount of the law expenses, which were 15,200/.
Err. ROlt wished to know if the committee .would pledge
themselves to go before the taxing master?
Mr. B4Exu said they were quite willing to go before the
maater. •
