DUNDEE, PERTH, AND ABERDEEN
JUNCTION.

The h•}lf-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Saturday at Dundee ; Lord Kiunaird iu the
chair.

The report stated that the receipts on the Dun-
dee and Perth line during the half-year amounted
to 23,7021., and the surplus from the Dundee and
Newtyle lino to 4301., making-, with 8401., the
balance from the last account, 24,936/. From this
9,5351. was deducted for working expanses, 5,1311.
forinterest on loans, and 1,0711. for rents, poor-
rates, &c., making together 15,683/., and leaving
an available sum of 9,253/. Out of this the direc-
tors proposed 6,4591. for dividend on the preference
shires,. and 2,7931. for dividend on the ordinary
shares, which, at the rate of 1 per cent. per an-
num, or per cent. above the dividend declared at
the corresponding period of last year, left a balance
of 1721. The average rate of interest on the de-
Lenture debt appeared to be 41. 17s. per cent.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, sai t he thought they ought to he -satisfied
with the gradual progress of the traffic. There had
keen a considerable increase in the local traffic,
although the general increase had not been great ;
i;u . they should bear in mind that, as the origin il
capital of the company did not exceed 300,0001.,
any small increase of traffic, after paying the prefe-
rence charges, would go to increase the dividend of
the original shareholders. Since the accounts had
tient closed the revenue had shown an increase of
1.001. a week over the corresponding period of the
previous year.
Mr. KENNEDY seconded the motion for the
adoption of the rep(xt, which, after some opposition
from Ur, HUNTER, was carried. The dividends

{A nvannsEmENT.l—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, 1813.
Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention.
When I began taking the Revaleuta 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 recourse to aperients every s,cond or
third clay; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than
seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical edvice.
There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right
car, 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 sore throat
and a slight cough; buy the pain around my loins 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 three
inches from 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
rnprovcd, 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, &c.--JouN Vass, Land-steward.—
