ments, comprising the usual working expenses, and
2,9411. as compensation, amounted to 7,3631.2 leav-
ing a balance of 3,193/.2 which, with the amount
due from the clearing-house and agent 4, completed
the sum of 4,0931., from which the directors pro-

capital at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, free

the customary charges and liabilities. in the seri-
ous accident on the North Kent Railway, on the
28th of June last, but one gentleman holding a
railway insurance ticket was injured, and that very
slightly. Several claims have, however, resulted
from the numerous railway accidents that have
since occurred ; among them, three from the acci-
dent near Retford, on the 13th of August. Every
claim during the half-year had been settled to the
satisfaction of the assured without dispute or litiga-
tion. The total amount paid as compensation for
27 fatal accidents and 718 cases of personal injury
from the commencement to June, 1857, was
25,660/.

discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. L.

The report was adopted and the meeting separated.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —lt is with pleasure we notice the daily
increase of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia),
flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com-
plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du
Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica. We quote the follow-
ing : —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oct. 31, 1818.—
Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention.
When I began taking the Revalenta I was in as deplorable a
condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed,
and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering
severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and
being compelled to have i•ecourse to aperients every s.cond or
third day; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than
seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice.
There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right
ear, that when I turned my head on the pillow it resembled
the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I
had a pain and sort of fullness across the chest, a core throat
and a slight cough; bu. 6 the pain around my bolus was so
great that I could not remain in the same position for ten
minutes all night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed
to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about Circe
inches f7om the backbone. I commenced taking Du Barry's
Revalenta Arabica morning and evening, boiled in water and
Salt; and in less than a fortnight my appetite was greatly
Faproeed, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished
that I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind
since. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, and
less like a drunken man, Ste.—Jous Vass, Laud-steward.—
