RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

GREAT WESTERN.

We are authorised to state that the dividend to be
proposed at the ensuing half-yearly general meeting of
proprietors of the Great Western Railway Company
will be at the rate of 24 per cent, per annum, with a
balance, exceeding 6,0001., to be carried over to the
next meeting.

from the following table, which we collate at intervals
of 10 years from the society's statistical returns :
Cattle. Horses. Sheep. Swine.
1822 ... 59 8
1832 ... 88 18 213 16
1642 ... 295 179 467 53
1832 ... 313 135 662 50
18',6 ... 248 131 496 _ 43
_ _ .

At the hot show of the society, held at Inverness in
1846, there were 428 cattle shown ; but this number in-
cluded fat oxen in pairs, which are now exhibited only
at the winter show, the summer exhibitions being limited
to breeding stock, bat the entries, taking them for all
in all, are equal to those of the former show here, which
for practical purposes was not so good as the present.
Both in stock and implements the entries show a desire
to reach the practical rather than the theoretical in agri-
cultural husbandry, and it is quite expected that they
will come out strongly as the leading features of the
show to-morrow (Thursday).

BRIGHTON RACES.-TFIURSDAT.

Flatman weighed for Lady Florence, whose number
was displayed on the telegraph. 5 and 6 to 4 were laid on
her, and 4 to 1 agst South-Western, but soon afterwards
her number was taken down, and it was announced that
she would not start. This proceeding was alluded to in
terms of general indignation. The practice of with-
drawing horses at the last moment is most pernicious,
and the sooner some law is 'adopted to check it the
better for the interests of the turf. All bets on minor
races should be declared void when a number is removed
from the telegraph board.

I 4 agst Raphael, and 4 to 1 agst Firelight.

Betting —Even on Maid of Athens; 3 to 1 agst Bacon.
A fine race iu ; won by a head; bad third. At the
turn Maid of Athens ran out.

On returning to scale an objection was made against
Bacon by Mr. Howard, on the ground that he (Mr.
Howard) had sold the horse without its engagements,
and that it was not, in consequence, entitled to run.
The objection, however, should have been made before
the race, and it was therefore withdrawn. Commotion
sas on the course, but, owing to the hardness of the
ground, his owner deemed it prudent not to let him
start.

TATTERSALL'S SUBSCRIPTION ROOM.

In consequence of Lewes and Wolverhampton races
taking place on Monday next, the Subscription Room
at Tattersall's will be opened on Saturday.

According to the circular of Mr. Arles Dufour, of
Lyons, the silk crop in France turned out so deficient
iu quantity that the manufacturers as well as the
thro wsters have made large contracts in foreign raw silks'
particularly from Lombardy, Piedmont, and Naples. A
rise in all classes has consequently taken place during
the month of July, and buyers appear disposed to con-
form to it, at least for their supplementary orders.
[A.ovgartsmiwrr.]—The following is not the least remark-
able among the numerous extraordinary cures without medi-
cine effected' by Du Barry's delicious Health-Restoring Re-
valenta Arabica Food, of Indigestion (Dyspepsia), Flatulency,
Constipation, Nervous, Bilious,and Liver Complaints, Cough,
Asthma, Consumption, and Debility:—Maastricht, Holland,
Aug. 7,1854.—My daughter Virginie had long been consump-
tive, with diarrhma and night sweats, and was in July last reduc-
ed to such a state of prostration and exhaustion, that our medi-
cal men agreed there was no hope of recovery left, and that
she could not survive many days. Upon the recommenda-
tion of. a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica,
which, to the astonishment of all, caused an immediate
change for the better in the symptoms. After the first few
meals she felt less miserable, and in six days the diarrhoea
and night sweats had left her. She gained strength gradu-
ally, and in two months time was perfectly well. This excel-
lent remedy deserves to bo more generally known, and
I consider I am only discharging a most sacred
duty iu recommending it to all sufferers.—S. &Guns.
Supported by testimonials from the celebrated Professors of
Chemistry Dr. Andrew ITre ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey ;
Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram ;
Lord Stuart de Decies ; the Dowager Countess of Castle-
stuart ; Major-Gen. Thomas King, and many other respectable
persons, whose health has been restored by it, after all other
means of cure had failed. Suitably packed for all climates,
