CANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A
Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for ‘. Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi-
tor for these throe things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have the ex•reme
transparency of pure Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE" and "SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedoM from smoke
and smell ; their good old-fashioned'. BELMONT SPERM
AND WAX," and " BEST" "No. 2," "No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and
their " CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dripping. of grease when carried. Their new
toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIE GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its w ight of their distilled Glycerine, andshould
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and
face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr ps
of which, mixed with three or fouE times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children • and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and
roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of tho low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be
used.
"PRICE'S NEW -PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for
burning in the wide glasses, are believed to be the very
best .Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT
LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for
burning without a glass.

MIDLAND.

A meeting of the shareholders in Leeds and the
nei•ghbourhood was held yesterday at the Queen's
Hotel, to consider what should be done to protect
the interests of the company at the general meeting
on the 15th inst.

Mr. BAINES, M.P., was appointed chairman, and
he said he entirely approved the meeting, for if

aiag-vcas-tia,c,-,-aif--) the state of a
railway, publicity and. &scus:_4ion were always the
best. He referred to hisActter to the Times, and
said he had do official r,.sponsibility in connection
with the railsay, except that he was one of those
five gentlemen who recommended some one as
worthy of acceptance as auditor. If the meeting
was aware of the views he had expressed in that
letter, he could only say that he now felt them to
be confirmed. He believed in the honesty of the
directors, and in the ultimate solidity of the Mid-
land line. Great errors had been committed in j
going beyond the legitimate field, and in undertak-
ing far too many lines at once. It wos a very great
mistake the directors had made in acceding to so
many applications from other parties. Of their own
they had upwards of £4,000,000 of. engagements,
which it was possible for the directors to have post
poned, and some of which it was possible to abandon. ,
But there was, he believed, upwards of .£5,000,000
which it would be possible to forego for the present.
Of their own there were lines. and works not.
begun of £3,700,000, including the Settle and
Carlisle, the Mansfield line, the Ashby and Nun-
eaton (along with the London anci.Ne!th-Western)
and several coal lines intended' to open up coal
fields. It would be much More conducive to their
interests that the coal owners should make those
lines themselves, but besides those there were also
lines under the act 1865-6 which would cost
£450,000, and be was told it was possible to post-
pone £200,000 of them. Then of the Cheshire
lines, there was a "proposed outlay of £835,000,
and that might be postponed. Then there were
works in progress to the amount-of £300,000, of
which £lOO,OOO might be put off. Then, as to the
rolling stock, £320,000 additional stock was or-
dered, and that would be sufficient to work an
additional traffic of £7,000 a week, and therefore
the outlay of £200,000 might be postponed. The
London Station Hotel it was intended to defer, land
in all he thought there was about £5,235,000, which
might be postponed. He believed the directors
really were willing to do all they could. His spirit
was to treat them as men who desired to do so, and
he recommended that this meeting should appoint a
committee to consult with.the directors, and report
at the annual meeting.
Mr. GARNETT stated why he had been one of
the parties to calling this meeting, and said the
company had come to that position which reluired
all their energy to prevent confusion and difficulty.
He recommended shareholders to keep their proxies
in their hands until the meeting on the 15th inst.
lie moved :--

"That, taking into consideration the injurious effect
produced on the value of the Midland shares by the in-
tended application to Parliament for powers to raise new
capital to the amount of 15,000,000, this meeting is of
opinion that it is essential that the directors should revise
their engagements for new lines and works, and all con-
templated outlay, with a view to the relinquishment or
postponement for a long time of all thatcan be relinquished
or Postponed."
Mr. J. JOWETT seconded the motion, and strongly
recommended the abandonment of the Settle and
Carlisle line.

The Rev. J. MotrroN thought the shareholders
were more frightened than hurt, and he regarded the
proceedings of the Manchester party as calculated
to injure the interests of the company. The direc-
tors had nothing to be ashamed of. It was very
good and judicious foresight that the directors had
prepared for an outlet in the heart of London.

The resolution was then carried unanimously.

Mr. J. RHODES moved—

" That this meeting rocommends the appointment, at
the meeting of the Midland Company on the 15th of
January, of a, committee of cons'ltation, consisting of
large shareholders, to confer with the directors on th 3
position of the railway, and especially on the extent t
which projected lines at.cl works can be relinquished c,r
postponed."
Mr. J. 0. MARCn seconded the motion, and it
was carried.

Mr. Alderman GEORGE proposed that Mr. Bai r
M.P., Mr. Garnett, and Mr. Jowett be a Qom-
rnittee to confer with the directors, which was, car-
ried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN recommended this meeti;3 g not
to begin hostilities if there were to be any. The
course taken at this meeting was so reasons-pc that
