PARR'S LIFE PILLS.
The balsamic and invigorating powers cf this fine her-
bal medicine are wonderful ; a trial of a singe dote will ear, y
conviction that they are all that is necessary to invigorate the
feeble, restore the invalid to health, and do good in all cases.
The heads of families should always have them in the house,
as they may, with the greatest confidence, be resorted to at any
time, or in any case. Parr's Life Pills are now, from their
many virtues, the established Family Medicine.
The following wonderful cures are selected from hundreds of
a similar nature : • •
ABitAHARBENTON, late of Wright-street, Derby,
has been for same time afflicted with a complication of the most
distressing internal disorders, attended with violent cough,
under which he was gradually wasting away. He had been at-
tended by surgeons, amlrhad tried almost every kind of medi-
cine, but nothing relieved him. He still lingered on, getting
every day worse, until his life was despaired of. The cough
had become so severs that he could not get any rest, and the
most sanguine of his friends thought he could not possibly re-
cover, but a kind neighb Aar, who had tested the wonderful
efficacy of Parr's Life Pals, recommended him to try them,
and before he had taken one small boac, he was able to follow
his usual occupation, without feeling the slightest symptom of
his former distressing malady.
Gratitude induced him to request that this might be made
public, for the good of his suffering fellow-creatures.
Witness to the truth of this statement—Mrs. Cocking,
Wright-street; Derby. •

Hull, July 6, 1841.
" GENTLEMEN,-.-I have to acknowledge with delight, the
benefit I have received from Parr's Pills, I having been
fueled for 14 or 15 years with pains in my body and limbs,
and constant pain in my head. I applied to the first medical
men in Hull, and to the various institutions of the town, and
brought myself almost to poverty, but all to no purpose. At
length I heard of Parr's Life Pills, and after taking only two
small boxes, feel grateful to be able to add I now enjoy per-
feet health. " ELLEN HART.

Commissioners of Stamps have ordered " Parr's Life Pills" to

without which none are genuine.

THE finest System of Ethics is to confine with.
in due bounds, and thus to regulate the Passions, which
unrestrained and insubordinate, impetuously destroy those barriets
which Religion and Morality have made sacred; to curb, but not
annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence best calculated to
limit their effervescence. _ _

HOOPING-COUG.FI cured without Inward

By the Use of ROCHF.'S HERBAL EMBROCATION.
Many thousands of children are cured annually by this remedy;
on the first attack, an immediate application of the EMBROCA-
TION will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constitu.
tion, and a few times may completely cure. In most cases, one bot.
tie will produce the desired effect ; and no remedy can be so well cal.
cdlated for children as this, for it requires no medicine to betaken in.
wardly.

In no case can this medicine be genuine unless signed on the
mapper, "J. ROCHE." Price 45. and I!. 2s. per Bottle.

Several offers to back Auckland had the effect of
springing him to 27 to 1, any advance upon which would
have been taken by two or three parties. The only
bet laid against him was at 30 to 1, and to a very small
amount. Wiseacre also rose half-a-dozen points, and is
likely to become a better favourite. Some other horses
were mentioned. and a few scores, &c., laid out, but with-
out causing any material change in the quotations :-

25 to 1 agst Lord Verulam's Robert de Gorham.
27 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Auckland

1,000 to 15 agst Mr. Scott's The Artful Dodger—taken.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented te
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail •f general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medicaLpraetitiorier,: The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
etaffie on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of se
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour,ir is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice._ N
.a feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set d*yin to the score of con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of youngpersons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
who holds (temppd.erras"),
heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructivepractised by
habits
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspecte
The PRECEPTOR, also, at
least), the relation and responsibility of a
parent, will,
by perusing this work, be directed and very ,much
assisted in investigating and detecting the
too often con-
cealed practices-so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure te be com-
premised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through, the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrnath, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any
of his y'oung
charges, what the real causes ef such attack may be, and thus
he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in-whose sacred character is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted ; lie will also be enabled to point out the die.
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their

Country Patients are requested to be as Initiate as possible in
the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint,
the symptoms, age, general habits, of ItTiugo and oceuPdieh in

whatever can be taken of their application ; and i u all cases, the
most inviolable secrecy way be relied on,

A mechanician of Nenburg, named Macdinger,
is stated by the Augsburgh Gazette to have invented a
vehicle, moving on three wheels, and propelled by in-
ternal mechanism, without the use of steam, by means
of which it will transport three passengers at the rate of
four leagues an hour. Tho force of the mechanism is
equivalent to one-horse power.
CHRONO-TIIERMAL SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.
—The Author of this system, in his "Fallacies of the
Faculty," proves beyond question that all diseases may
be cured solely by attention to temperature. Speaking
of the Fallacies of the Faculty," the Statesman says—
" We noticed this excellent work at some length on its
first appearance, and the speedy demand for a second
edition amply justifies our opinton of it. Dr. Dickson,
its author, has introduced a -variety of important facts in
illustration of his system, which cannot fail to increase
the interest it has already excited, as well among the
medical world as the public at large. The best test of
the efficacy of the Chrono-thermal System is its unparal-
leled success." The September number-of the Revue de
Versailles devotes upwards of nine columns to an analysis
of this system, and concluded by stating,," Cette theorie
du Doct,eur Dickson sitnpliferstit
.beaucoup la route qu'll
faut suivr• pour arriver a I'adoucissement des maux qui
affligentJespece hurnaine ; elle arrafherait l'etre souf-
frant aux speculations harsardees et dangereuses; et elle
donnerait enfin a la medecine des regles fixes qui per-
mettraient de la consid6rer des ormais comme une sci-
ence." Foreigners will be gratified to know that Messrs.
Simpkin and Marshall (the London publishers of the
" Fallacies of the Faculty ") will shortly' be prepared to
advertise a French translation from the pen of M. le
Marquis de Chesnel.

Every disorganization of the humus frame requires great medical
knowledge to remedy, and the public welfare is premeted when tali-
fessional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envious and into.
rested) devote their studies to the treatment of those complaints ge-
nerated by imprudence and the ebullition of the passions at au un-
guarded moment. " The strong' h of a nation consists in the health
of the maple;" but it is melancholy to reflect on the daily sacrifice
to the ignotantsnd unfeeling empyricism, and Vs counteract, as far
as possible, its fiallter ravages, we offer to suffering humanity the
result of eur own experience in the various disea. es of Debility. The
unwary victim of solitary vice (early acquired at salad, before rea-
son has asserted her right ever ti a mind), will, in contemplating his
powerless state, become susceptible of enlivening sensations, in know-
ing that the most complicated state of exhaustion may be roused

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE INSOLVENTS'
COURT.—An elderly and respectable-looking gentleman,
who was attending on business in the Court during the
day, when returning in the evening, being unaware of
the fact of two steps, which lead into the passage from
the door, and no hghts being placed near the spot, fell
forward with so much violence as to fracture the small
bone of his leg. A chair was procured by some of the
attendants in the Court, in which he was placed, and
removed in a state of great suffering tb the King's Col.
lege Hospital. London is notorious for the inconve-
nience of its minor Courts of Justice, and certainly the
Insolvents' Court cannot be excluded from the category,
it being miserably cold, badly ventilated, and worse
lighted—a few of what appear at a distance to be farthing
candles making "darknessvisible."

LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAIL
WAY COMPANY.

- .
The half-yearly general meeting of this Company
was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the pur-
pose of receiving a statement of the accounts for the
half-year from the Secretary, and the Directors' Report
from the Solicitor to the Company. The meeting was
called for one o'clock, but before that hour the large
room in the Tavern was crowded by Proprietors.
JOHN' HARMAN, Esq., took the chair, and in doing
so said, that as they had on that occasion matter of very
considerable importance to bring before them, he would
not trespass upon their time by many introductory re-
marks, but he would rather at once call their attention
to the Report of the Directors, reserving to himself the
opportunity, when that Report was read, of entering
into such explanations as they required ; therefore
without any further delay be would call on the Solicitor
to the Company to read the Report.
The Solicitor then read the Report, which was as
follows :

I.W.ENING SUN.

In the various Reports which have, from time to time,
been submitted to the General Meetings, it has ever been
the study of the Directors to afford the most correct in-
formation on every
,subject connected with this under-
taking, and when they had the honour to meet the Pro-
prietors in August rast, there was every reasonable ex-
pectation that the present position of the Company would
have been such as they then anticipated.
At that time, the Railway had been opened for some
weeks as far as Haywarcrs Heath, the traffic had been
conducted to, the satisfaction of the public, the income
was gradually increasing, and the works on the remainder
of the line were so near completion, that the Railway
was opened throughout to. Brighton on the 21st of Sep-
tember following.
Thus far every thing progressed in the most propitious
manner, co much so, that the traffic amounted in the
second week after the entire opening, to 3,699/. 17s. Bd.
Little did your Directors then expect that their pro-
spects were to be blighted by the unfortunate calamity
which so immediately followed, and by the extraordi-
nary wet season, producing a succession of difficulties
unprecedented, arising from causes over which they had
no control.
These circumstances, and the consequences occasioned
by them, being so fully adverted to in the Report of the
Engineer, the Directors, contrary to their usual custom,
beg here to introduce it.
REPORT OF MR. RASTRICK.

TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON
RAILWAY COMPANY

Gentlemen,—When I had the honour to furnish you
with my last. Half-yearly Report, the Railway had been
opened as far as Hayward's Heath, and the remainder of
the line was in so forward a state, that I promised it
-should be opened throughout to Brighton, in the follow-
ing month. This I accomplished, and I then fully calcu-
lated that the works would all have been finished in the
course of a short period ; and I had 'every reason to be-
lieve that the estimates you laid'before the Proprietors
were adequate for that purpose. The line, however, was
scarcely opened, when the most extraordinary wet sea-
son I ever remember set in, and has continued almost to
the present time. The whole country, as it were, be-
came inundated ; and such has been the effects upon the
heavy,embankments, that it has only been by the most
strenuous exertions and constant labour that I have been
enabled to keep them in a fit state for the transit of our
traffic. The Railway, I believe, was worked to the satis-
faction of every one, up to the period of that most un-
fortunate accident, which has been the occasion of so
much anxiety and regret to every one connected with
this undertaking.
I think it right to allude to the interruptions at the
Patcham Tunnel, and at the Merstham Cutting. The
foriner was occasioned by the continued wet, having
choked up the drains behind the front walls of the Tun-
nel, and had nothing whatever to do with the Tunnel
itself, which is perfectly sound, and is, I believe, as good
a piece of brickwork as any in the kingdom ; the latter,
in the deep cutting near the Merstham Tunnel, did not
occur from any defect in the stratification of the chalk,
but from the accidental circumstance of there bang at
-that particular spot, near • the outside of the cutting,
what is called " a funnel-shaped pot-hole," filled with
pebbles, gravel, and soil, and which, becoming charged
and saturated with water, forced out the side of the cut-
ting, the chalk being so thin in front of it, could hot re-
sist- the pressure from within.
I still retain the same opinion I have so often ex-
pressed, " that upright cuttings in chalk, similar to
that of the formation found on this line, will stand much
better than cuttings with any considerable slope ;"...and
I am fully confirmed in this, by the manner in which all
our upright cuttings in chalk have stood during this wet
season. Ido not deny, that after a frost, a small.quan-
tity will effloresce from off the surface ; but I maintain,
that that quantity will be much less than that from off a
getter slope. •
My.attention was called to the earth-slopes at the top
of the chalk cuttings, and I found the wet had so affected
them, that I have had them made much flatter, and
taken down to a greater depth, fearing that the mate-
rials might have slipped ; they are now all perfectly
secure ; but this has caused an expenditure, upon which
I had made no previous calculation.
The embankment at Earlswood-common, and those
adjoining it, have caused a considerable extra outlay ;
but, by perseverance, we have now both lines of rails
open, there has been no recent settlement upon them,
and I may reasonably expect no further expense than
that usually attendant upon works of their description:
The same remarks will apply to the embankment. at
Kemps' Farm. The embankment at Keymer has suf-
fered in a greater degree from the continued wet sea-
son 3 for a short distance there is only one line of rails
over it, but no interruption to the traffic is experienced,
as, by the crossings which I have had put down, the
trains pass very readily from the one line of rails to the
other. The road throughout, lam happy to say, is now
in good working order, and the embankments and slopes
of the cuttings appear to be getting into a permanent
state, and I have every reason to believe we have expe-
rienced the worst of our difficulties, as all the works
stand well, and show no unfavourable symptoms, and
surely, if they. remain firm and secure after the severe
trial of the late season, we need be under no apprehen-
sion for the future. The untoward and vexatious cir-
cumstances we have had to contend with, no human pru-
dence or foresight could have anticipated or averted; and
it cannot be a surprise to 'any one that 'they have en-
tailed upon the CoMpany a very much larger expendi-
ture than was ever contemplated, and much as I lament
it, lam sure I have not incurred a sib,* expense*un-
necessarily, and had this been the only line which had
suffered from the same causes, you might have had great
reason toeomplain. I have, I believe,called your atten-
tion to the chief causes of extra expenditure appertain-
ing to my department ; but in addition to these, you
must remember it was deemed necessary to increase our
stock of engines, carriages, waggons, &c., to a consider-
able extent. Annexed is a statement of the amount re-
quired to finish the works, and what I consider necessary
for the convenience of the traffic :
Required to finish the contract works
now in hand £27,851
(Exclusive of the 10 per cent. held
back from the con tractors, in the
hands of the Company.)
There will also be required for several
extra works, part of which were -
omitted to be estimated in last half-
year's account, some of which are
•
now in hand, others not yet began
upon, but which will be required, in-
cluding also an allowance for any ac-
cidental extras, that may be found

passtngers are subjected by the protracted stoppage on
the Croydon Railway. On the increase of traffl3 which
may be confidently anticipated as the season advances,
the ratio of thnexpenditure to the receipts will, no doubt,
be considerably diminished.
Your Directors have considered it of the first import-
ance to insure the public safety by the utmost care and
vigilance of a large polise establishment on their works
during the present trying season, and they are satisfied
that, by re-assuring the public mind in this respect,eveu
at a temporary increase of esvenditure, they are best
consulting the real interests of the Proprietors.
The receipts on the Shoreham line are also subjected to
a considerable fixed expenditure ; but the traffic of this
line, and of the wharf, is increasing ; and, by the con-
templated extension of the wharf, there can be no doubt
there will be a material increase of traffic, without a vor-
responding increase of expenditure, particularly when
the . conveyance of merchandise is commenced on the
main line.

By a Minute of 19th Nov., 1840, the Directors de-
clared 4,409 Shares to be forfeited on account of the Bth
call remaining unpaid, and, on the 6th Mav, 1841, the
Directors declared 3,883 shares to be forfeited on account
of the 9th call remaining unpaid, since which periods the
Bth call has been paid on shares, and the 9th call
has been paid 'on shares, leaving shares on
which the Bth and 9th calls remain unpaid, and shares,
on which the 9th call only remains unpaid, the forfeiture
of which shares the Directors rill submit to the meeting
for confirmation. These are exclusive of forty-five
shares against the holder of which the Cempany have
recovered the amount of the calls by an action, and an
arrangement has been entered into, by which these calla
are to be paid in June next.

At the "last General' Meeting it was stated•that the
total outlay for completing and opening the line through-
out, with a suitable establ'i'shment, would be 2,289,081/.
By the accounts made lip to the 31st December last,
the 'toss expenditure was 2,269,3591. Os. 11d. ; the lia-
bilities under Ole seal of the Company were 184,3774
15s. 2d. ; the outstanding debts 61,406/. 10s. 7d. ; the 10
per cent. retained from •the contractors 50,000/. ; the
amount requisite to complete the line 59,068/. 4s. ; the
land for temporary purposes,ls,ooo/. ; making together
2,639,211 10s. Bd.
To meet this, there was cash on the 31st December
8,222/..145. '7l • due on calls 5,385/. shares at par
39,950/. ; re-sale of land 60,000/. ; and loan to Joint
Station 50,254/. 2s. Id. ; amounting in the whole -to
163,8111. 16s. Bd. ; thus leavinw a balance to be provided
for over the last half-year's estimate of 186,3181.
In addition to the sum of 186,3181. required for the
present purposes of the railway, the engineer , reports
that it will ultimately be necessary to erect workshops,
carriage. houses, and wharfs, &c., and which he estimates
at 100,0001., but a consider able portion of this outlay
may be avoided if the Company contract for.the repair
of their carriages and engines.
The Directors, however, strongly recommend the
Proprietors to empower them to 'provide fur these to
sums, amounting. together to 286,318/.
The next subject to which the Directors beg to draw
the attention of the Shareholders' is the station at Lon-
don-bridge, and to which they so fully adverted at the
last general meeting, and the mode of raising the money
for erecting it. By the last Croydon Act this Company
was empowered to become a joint owner thereof, with
the Croydon and South Eastern Railways, and to raise
120,0001 for purchasing the necessary land, and erecting
the station by the.issue of new shares, and the mortgage
of the station and of this undertaking.
The Committee of Management have encountered
considerable 'difficulty in obtaining possession of tile
various properties' required for the extension of this
station ; they have, however, at length arranged with
the various owners, RIO-plans for the erection of the new
station are nearly eonoteted; and as soon as the weather
permits, it will be (iro:noticed The obit, altogether,
to each Company, will not exceed. 85,000/.
So that altogether we have to raise for
the Railway £186,318
For extra Workshops, Wharfs, 100,000
For' London-bridge Station

£59,068

To take a sale Margin, say

£371,318
28,682

£400,000
The manner in which this amount is to be raised
has had - the gravest consideration of your Directors,
and they recommend that Loan Notes • be isssued, pay-
able at the end of five years, at 51. per cent. interest,
with an option to the holders of such notes (at the ex-
piration of three years) to convert them into quarter
Shares of this Conepany at 10/. per Quarter Share,*iinder
the power of an Act to be obtained for that purpose, for
which application will be made •to Parliament at the
earliest possible period. The present Shareholders to
have the preference of tendering for such loan notes,
and such tenders to be made on or before the Ist of Fe-
bruary next, when the allotment will take place ; Si.
upon each Quarter • Share, to be then paid, a further
suns of 2/..105. per Quarter Share, on or before the 15th
of April, and the remaining suns of 21. 10s. per Quarter
Shari*, on or before the 15th of July next, and interest
to commence from the time of the respective payments.
The Directors of the South Eastern Company have
given notice to this Company., of their intention to pni-
chaSe the moiety of-the line, to-which they are entitled
under their Act of Parliament.
From this source your Directors expect to derive a
sum sufficient to cover the amount requisite to be raised;
but, as there • is an uncertainty wbeu this money will
be paid, they consider it .neCessary to look to other
means to inset. the_ it present ezcifencies.
Five Director's go out of olhee by rotation ;
Messrs. Parker, Gould, Gibson, Smith, and Entwisle,
who, being eligible -for re-election, offer themselv6 to
the Proprietors accordingly. Since the last General
Meeting, two vacancies have occurred in the direction
by the death of Henry Moreton Dyer, Esq., and by- the
resignation of Sir Isaac L. Goldsmid, Bart., which have
been filled up by the appointment of John Cox and Ed-
ward Watson, Esqrs.

Your Directors eannot:conclude this Report, without
again adverting to the many trials with which they have
been surrounded during the last half-year. They had
no sooner removed the obstructions on their own line,
when a considerable slip of earth at New Cross blocked
up the line on the Croydon Railway, and has continued
ever since to be a great interruption to the Brighton
traffic. It has prevented this Company from carrying
any goods or merchandise, and has had a great influence
in deterring the public from availing themselves of the
Brighton Railway ; but,e looking to the great increase
which took place in the traffic upon the opening of the
line throughout, and the many applications that have
been made for various kinds of goods and merchandise
to be conveyed over the line, the Directors still retain
the same opinion they have always expressed, that the
traffic will ultimately realise their most sanguine
expectations.

necessary 51,217
Before long there will he required Ipildings, ma
chinery, engines, lathes. &c., for the repairs of the loco.
motive engines, carriages, waggons, &c., as the Corn.
piny will find it much to their interest to do all this
work- themselves.
The traders upon the line will also require warehouses,
both at the Brighton and Shoreham stations, and you are
well aware that there is not accommodation at Shoreham
Harbour for one quarter of the shipping at our present
wharf, and that we are losing our traffic daily from this
cause, and, consequently, there must be a more extensive
wharf built and all the necessary appendages; and as it
has been determined to make nearly the whole of the
coke at Shoreham, an addition must be made to that es-
tablishment, and the ovens, &c., must be roofed in. All
of these works will, however, pay, and secure a revenue
independent of that derived from the Railway. The sums
required for all these works will amount to about 100,000/.
I have, also, to remind you, that I have, jointly with
the Engineers of the South Eastern and Croydon Rail-
ways, been engaged on the Plans of the Joint Station, at
London-bridge, the specifications of which will be ready
in three weeks, and we have calculated that the money
required for our share of the expense of the engineeringp,
works, and buildings, now to be done, will be about 30,000/.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
(Signed) J. U..RASTRICK.
London, 17th January, 1824.
Before submitting to the Proprietors the particulars
of the liabilities of the Company, and the amount requi-
site to complete the line, and the manlier in which it is
proposed to provide the necessary funds, the Directors
beg to call the attention of the Meeting to the annexed
statement of the receipts and payments to the 31st De-
cember last; together with accounts of the traffic:—
The statement of traffic on the main line, which is in-
cluded in these accounts, shows the receipts, exclusive
df payments for coaching during the partial opening, to
be 34,182/. Os. 2d., and the expenditure 24,400/. 3s. 4d.,
leaving a• net surplus of 9,781 Z 16s. 10d. This repre-
sents the result of scarcely more than three months'
traffic, the earnings during the partial opening having
been, as your Directors anticipated in their last Report,
barely more than equal to the expenditure. Deducting
from the whole amount of expenditure, as above the
toll, which amounts to 4,574/. 165., and which would not
be incurred were the whole . line the property of this
Company, the working expenses in respect of this traffic
have been 19,825/. 75. 4d.
It must be borne in mind that a considerable portion
of thin expenditure is of a fixed nature, arising from axi
establishment adequate to carry on a very extensive
traffio,on which your Directors fully reckone and which
would, no doubt, have been secured, but for the unfor-
tunate occurrences on the Brighton Railway already ad-
verted' to, and latterly the serious inconvenience to which

The SECRETARY then read a statement of the ac-
counts, from whioli it appeared that the receipts for the
year 1841 were 2,277,381/. 13s. 6d., and the expendi-
ture 2,269;359/. Os. 11d., showing a balance of cash in
hand of 8,222/. 14s. 7d. The increase of the receipts
during the last half•year, over the previous one, was
upwards of 60.000/.
The CHAIRMAN said, that if they compared the Re-
port then read with that which was submitted to them
in August list, he was willing to confess that it must
give rise to bitter feelings of disappointment. Their
Directors had had to encountor those feelings day by
day and week by week, and they found themselves
finally in a position they never anticipated, but they
came there that day prepared to show them that they
had done nothing but that which they wore compelled
to do. In the Report read to them, they (the Direc-
tors) stated that the amount required for the purposes
of the Railway was 186,518/. The amount which they
had been obliged to expend on the works of the line
above what was originally contemplated, in consequence
of the extremely wet season, had been 97,5611., and it
arose in this way : On the first district of the line there
bad been expended during the last half-year 15,9971.
15s. Bd.: on the second district,' 40,8071. Is. 4d.
the third, 29,"91/. 3s. ; and on their tunnels, 16,121/.
I Is. 6(1., making a total of 102,497/. I Is. 7d. In
their last Report, they estimated the expenses ne-
cessary to complete the line at 64,000/. ; there-
fore they had shown an increase in the expenses
up to the present time of 38,4971. 1 Is. 7d. As by the
estimates read to them 27,851/. 48. was required to
complete works then on hand. Now, when they (the
Directors) met them on a former occasion, they felt
fully satisfied they might commence tbeir traffic, and
up to the time of the bad season setting in, they found
their traffic so increasing that they found it necessary
to order a greater supply of carriages, engines, &e.
They ordered, twelve extra engines, thirteen addi-
tional first class carriages, six extra horse-boxes, two
carriage trunks, six large vans, and ninety-eight wag-
gons, which amounted to a eery large sum of money ;
engines to nearly 24,0001., first class carriages 5204,
horse-boxes, 160/. Therefore they were enabled to so-
count up to a very small sum for the amount which they •
then asked of the Proprietors the power to raids-. He •
would ask them what would have been their position
if they had not adopted the course they had taken?
They (the Directors) bad on all occasions relied :upon
that confidence the Proprietors bad ever reposed in the
Directors, and they felt that in making those engage-
ments he had referred to, their confidence was still
extended towards them, and they bad no doubt
but that the Proprietors would ratify those engagements.
In the course of their accounts they would sec that on
the 31st of December their liabilities amounted to
184,3771. 15s. 2d. ; of this amount 33,4541. 9s, 8d: •
was applied to the contract for works ; 14,397/. 6s. 3d.
to their stations; 5,000/. to the London joint station; •
12,448/. 3s. Bd. to railway 'theirs and pins ; •
13,217/.lBs. 6d. to engines and tenders ; 15,9641.175. 6d.
to carriages, waggons, truck?, horre-boxes, &c.; 4,763/. to
sundries; loan 71,0001.; and interest on debentures

Cause he was sure there was every disposition on the part of
the Directors to furnish the Proprietors with, every
possible information with respect to their undertalung•
On the same day (December 31) the outstanding ac-
count was 61,406/. 10s. 7d. The contracts at the
works amounted to 5 736/. 3s. ; the. stations
9,299/. 12s. 2d. ; for engines 12,9351. 198..
