THE BEST APERIENT AND ANTIBILIOUS MEDICINE FOR

GENERAL USE IS
FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH which
effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by gentle relaxa
lion, without griping or prostration of strength. They remove.
head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are highly
grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, relieve
languor and depression of spirits ; while to those of a tltll habit, and
free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heaviness,
and singing in the head and ears, they, offer advantages that will no
fail to be appreciated.
This Medicine has for many years received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society, and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Front,
with permission to publish it, and, if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author :
" To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London.
" Heavitree, Exeter, April 24, 1844.
. .

" Six,- -I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unso-
licited testimony to the excellence of your " Frampton's Pill of
health," which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior
general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having recourse
to other medicines for a long period of years ; she has recommended
them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person
to adoptthem, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of
extraordinary efficacy. I think that perhaps there is scarcely any
other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value
as a " friend in need"—certainly none possessed of superior claims
I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my individua recom-
mendation, and am, Sir, " Your obedient servant,
* * * • "

Sold by T. Prout, 229, Strand, London, price Is. I%d. and 2s. 9d.
per box ; also by the Vendors of Medicines generally throughout the
Kingdom.

COMPANY.
The hal f-y early meeting of this Company was held yes-
terday at the London Tavern, at onQ o'clock.
The CHAIRMAN (Y. P. Richards, Esq.) said that,
seeing q,O 'holy present, be thought they had better pro-
eeed to business.
The SECRETARY then read the notice convening the
meeting, after which he read the report, from which it
appeared that since the meeting of the 11th of March,
the Directors had been engaged in carrying out the
views of the Proprietors, and that a deputation from
the Board of Directors had proceeded to Bel-
gium, and made the necessary arrangements for
constituting the Company a societe anon yme,
and that with respect to clauses conferring on them all
the advantages and privileges of a publ_; company, their
interests had become carefully attended to. They had
also been permitted to deviate from the line laid down in
the convention, and fre.h surveys had been made in con-
formity with the same. It also stated that there would
be no increase of capital required for the present, and
that the French and Belgian Governments had declared
themselves most friendly to their undertaking.
The CHAIRMAN said he did not consider it necessary
to trouble the meeting with the cash account, as it had
been printed and distributed among the Proprietors ;
besides, it had been prepared merely for the satisfacti
of the Board of Directors. There was one thing,
however, with which they should be made ac-
quainted, and which was far from being unim-
portant. He alluded to the report of their
.ngineer.—(Hear.) lie had, however, to state, with
respect to that report. that it had been made some time

almost every family in the United Kingdom. It is still prepared
with the same care and attention by Mr. Henry Cundell, 47, Mino-

genial nature, removing every trace of sallowness and discolouration,
and promoting the transparency and brightness of the skin, which
constitute the peculiar graces of a line complexion.

THE BEST APERIENT AND ANTIBILIOUS MEDICINE FOR

GENERAL USE IS
FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH which
effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by gentle relaxa
tion, without griping or prostration of strength. They remove
head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &C., are highly
grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, relieve
languor and depression of spirits ; while to those of a full habit, and
free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heaviness,
and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will no
fail to be appreciated.
This Medicine has for many years received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society, and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Front.
with permission to publish it, and, if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author :
" To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London.
" Heavitree, Exeter, April 24, 1844.

,
" Snt,--I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unso-
licited testimony to the excellence of your " Frampton's Pill of
Health," which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior
general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having recourse
to other medicines for a long period of years ; she has recommended
them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person
to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they bavo proved OT
extraordinary efficacy. I think that perhaps there is scarcely any
other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value
as a " friend in need"—certainly none possessed of superior claims
I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my individua recom-
mendation, and am, Sir, " Your obedient servant,

EXPLOSIONS IN COLLIERIES.

Mr. T. DUNCONIBE said, he had another question to
ask. it was in relation to the collieries of Durham, Northum-
berland, and South Lancashire. It would be recollected, that
some time ago several lives were lost in the north of Eng-
land, in consequence of an explosion, and a commission was
appointed, composed of Mr. Lyell and Professor Faraday.
They had made their inquiry into the Haswell explosion, and
furnished their report, yet no steps had been taken to afford
additional security. He wished, therefore, some explanation on
this head. He desired also to call the attention of the Right
Hon. Baronet, to another subject. In the neighbourhood of
Wiganathelavotair constantly violated in the employment of
females. it--uvas alsii the practicein many places to pay wages
in truck. He considered these matters ought to be in-
quired into.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said with regard to the two last
practices—paying in truck and employing females in mines—
they were directly contrary to law. Inspectors had been ap-
pointed to see that the law was duly executed, and he was
happy to see, by the report which had been placed on the
table, it was generally carried into effect. He would, however,
call their attention to the cases the Hon. Member bad pointed
out; and if there was any infraction of the law the offending
parties would be proceeded against. With regard to the other
allegations, he had instructed the Commission which had been
appointed to inquire into the smoke nuisance, to direct their
attention to this question, and to report specially upon it.
Mr. WAKLEY called the attention of the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet at the head of.the Home Department to certain mal-
practices that prevailed in a union workhouse, the name of
which, from the none that prevailed in the House, we could
not catch. _ . _ _

Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he never heard of the cireum-
-stances alluded to; if he had, a searching investigation should
have been made into it.

Mr. WAKLEY inquired whether the Right Hon. Baronet
would now, in consequence of his (Mr. Wakley's) statement,
institute an inquiry into the matter?
Sir JAMES GRAHAM signified assent.

ministered, but they all died in the course of nine days.—Lincoln-

CRICKET.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS' MATCHES.—The first of these in-
teresting and exciting contests commenced at Lord's on Wed-
nesday, but the stormy state of the weather prevented any
great progress being made. This match was
HARROW v. WINCHESTER.—The vast contrast between
the contending elevens created an additional interest,
which it will readily be conceived was greatly increased
towards the latter part of the match, because, whilst
the Winchester gentlemen were all young men and
grown in proportion, those of Harrow, with the exceptions of
Currer and Blayds, were particularly small, and in fact were
much younger than their opponents. It will, notwithstand-
ing this disproportion of age and stature, be found that the
" little ones" had very nearly run off with the laurels of the
day, for although they were put in for their second innings
with a score of 190 against them, they manfully took the bull
by the horns, and played one of the best " up hill" games
that has been seen upon this ground for many years.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON rH

SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.
Tv troai no E, Palms. Y —Yesterday afternoon Major-General
Pasley, the Government Inspector-General of Railways, ar-
rived by special train, accompanied by Captain Charlewood,
R.N., the superintendent of the line, and Mr. Cubitt, the
lecomctive engineer, to investigate the circumstances attend-
ing the late serious collision at the Penshurst station. Pre-

viously to his arrival, however, he had entered into the inquiry
at the latter station, so as to be fully acquainted of the facts
connected with the accident, and then left to conclude it at
this place.
The proceedings occupied several hiiurs, in the course of
which the different witnesses, who were examined before the
magistrate at the examination of the engine driver, gave
similar testimony, a full report of which has already appeared.
During the inquiry the regulations adopted by the Company
fir the guidance of the guard and other officers engaged on
the line in their respective duties came under consideration,
and as of late many reports have been circulated condemnatory
of the management of this particular line, it is but an act,of
justice to the Company to mention the most important instruc-
tions that. affect the safety of the public :
" The head guard will receive his instructions from the
station clerk who will start the train, and from the moment it
is set in motion the guard will be held responsible for its regu-
' larity and safety. It will be his duty exclusively to see that
the carriages are properly coupled, and that the train is pro..
vided with all requisites to ensure protection to the passenger*,
