qualities suitable for exp6rtation, at full price'. Bengal

At the meeting of the shareholders in the London and
Paris Bank, yesterday, great indignation was expressed
at the unwarranted appropriation by the directors of so
large an amount under the plea of preliminary and other
charges. A motion for the appointment of a share-
holders' committee to inquire into the accounts received
31 votes out of 43 votes represented at the meeting, but
was ultimately negatived, owing to the fact that the
directors bad previously provided themselves with
proxies to the extent of 159 votes. By this means the
dissentients were overruled, and a formal motion for
dissolving the company was carried.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Jane Hallett, of Whitty Head,
near Netberbury, Dorset, suffered for many years from
a bad leg. From the knee to the ancle it had several
wounds, so that she was unable to stand or move about
the house. She tried a variety of means and applica-
tions, but without obtaining a cure. By the blessing
God and using only three pots of Poor Man's Friend,
endo,f
and taking three boxes of pills, she was perfectly cured.

PARISH OFFIC LA LI S.AL

Mr. Grimbly, a Union Surgeon at Baubury, re-
cEmtly addressed a very courteous and temperate
le3er to the Board of Guardians, pointing out that
the remuneration afforded for his services left him
positively out of pocket, without calculating
anything for the great labour involved in a
conscientious discharge of his duties. He
therefore asked for an advance of salary. This
reasonable -dertrind s) exasperated the guardians
that, without paying any a.tention to his request,
they immediately vamped up against him a charge
of neglect, and bummoned him to attend its hives-
gation. " Qiire miscris lucis tam dira cu-
pido !" The charge proved to be utterly without
foundation except in the ingenious malice of
its inventors, and only added another to the many
instances of insult and oppression afforded by
the behaviour of parish officials to their sur-
geons. Foiled in this disgrac-ful attempt, the
guardians resorted tc more familiar weapons ; in-
sulting and annoying Mr. Grimbly until he threw
up the appointment. We areglad to perceive that
the neighbouring practitioners have expressed their
sympathy with him, and pledged themselves not to
accept the vacant office.
it is difficult to comprehend what can be the
cause of a certain generic depravity which seems
specially to afflict parochial boards of guardians.
We say generic, for it is known that individuals who
compose these mysterious brotherhoods are not par-
ticularly vicious, stupid, or inhuman in their
pri-
vetecapacities. Forinstance, the guardians of White.
chapel have shut up their casual wards for the last

Now, we
are credibly informedl
board of guardians includes persons who are

believed to beparents, good neighbours, ho-
nest and able men of business, and, in their private
capacities, charitable to the poor. What direful
magic can it be, then, that so perverts these folks
when associated at
the parish board ? It is as in-
explicable as the process by which Circe changed
the companions of swine.—The Lancet.
