South-Eastern Railway Office, 14th Sept., 1846.
. . REPORT.
South-Eastern Railway-office, London-bridge Terminus,
September 14, 1846.
•
The accounts of the South-Eastern and Continental Steam Packet
Company for the half-year ending on the 31st July last, which have
been audited and certified, show an amount at the disposal of the
proprietors of 3,436/. 12s.
The Princess Clementine was launched on the 25th of July, and
may be ,expected to be at Folkestone in all this month.
The other two steam-ships now building, the Lord Warden and
the Priricese Helena, will soon follow, and the Company will have a
sufficient number of steam:ships to insure to the public two passages
in the day from Folkestone to Boulogne, and two from Boulogne to
Folkestone.
The harbour at Folkestone has improved so much by the works
carried on there, that the measure of the time at which steamers can
leave it is no longer the depth of water in the harbour, but the depth
of water over the rocks at its entrance, and these rocks are being
removed by divers. - •
The facilities given at the Custom-house at Folkestone have much
economised the time of passengers ; 250 packages of luggage are
cleared and removed from the Custom-house, within one hour after
the arrival of the steam-ships, much to the credit of the service.
During the last twelve months the passage has been performed
daily in two hours to two hours and a quarter, between Folkestone
and Boulogne, and Boulogne and Folkestone, without the slightest
interruption.
And the passage between Ramsgate and Ostend, since that service
was commenced on the 13th of April, has been performed with equal
punctuality in four hours and a half.
The Peculiar adiantage of the harbour of Ramsgate, where pas-
sengers'can land from or embark on board the steamships at the Pier
at all times of the tide, without the necessity of using boats, is highly
appreciated. by travellers, and cannot be too generally known.•
The Directors look fbrward to an increase of traffic on the opening
of the continental lines of railway to the French coast, and with a
fleet of eight splendid steam-ships, they think that the South-Eastern
and Continental Steam-packet Company will be in a position to do
justice to the passages.
As a respectable reserved fund has been estahlished, the Directors
have concluded that it is no longer necessary to effect insurances on
the steam-ships, and they have determined to allow the present
policies to expire and not to renew them.
• Mr. Martin Luther Pritchard has resigned his office as auditor,
and has been elected a Director in the place of Mr. Edward Winslow,
who retired.
Mr. J. Butler Williams has also resigned his office as auditor, in
consequence of having accepted the appointment of Secretary of the
Caledonian Railway.
In consequence of the resignation of both auditors, the Directors
submitted the accounts of the Company to William Davies, Esq.,
and John Walter, Esq., two proprietors duly qualified, by whom the
accounts have been audited and certified.
The Directors recommend that a dividend of six shillings'per share
be declared and paid on the Ist of October.

COPY of a LETTER from WILLIAM
COURTNEY, Esq.

To Mr. THOMAS Paour, 229, Strand, London. -
Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway
Station, Rants October 26, 1844.
Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs-
day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get oil,.
of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed on with In-
flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found In
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that

time I had resort to your Pills, and they reliesVed me—within t;Co.
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be
known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that
suffers horribly with it, and his greateit relief and preventive has
4een your Pills. Make what use you please of mj report.-1' ours

truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none
have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community,
nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor-
tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom•
mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including
sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as
tooth-ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of
any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach,
Drain, or other vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; an by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable medicine vendors throughout the United
liingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, and ob-
rve the name and address of " Thomas Prout, 229 Strand, London,"

upon the Government Stamp affixed to each bex of the
