CURE OF DROPSY IN THE CHEST.

Extract of a Letter from J. S. Mundy, Esq., dated Kenningtoi
near Oxford, December 2d, 184 a.
To Professor HOLLOWAY.

Sir,—My Shepherd for'some time was afflicted with water on
on the chest, when I heard of it I immediately advised him to
try your Pills, which he did, and was perfectly cured, and is
now as well as ever he was in his life. As I myself received so
astonishing a cure last year from your Pills and Ointment, it
ha.: ever since been my most earnest endeavour to make known
their excellent qualities.

TURKEY CARPETS, like every other article of
manufacture, whether British or Foreign, vary very
considerably in their qualities. This lot, with only
three exceptions, are of the best description, and will
be Sold, each Single Carpet, at a less Price than In-
voiced to the Consignees. Such an opportunity for
purchasing this luxurious yet durable, and therefore
truly economical, article, J., M., and Co. believe never
before occurred.

EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY.-HALF-YEARLY

MEETING.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this
railway was held at Bury yesterday. John Grundy, Esq.,
Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the Chair.
The Report, which was read by the Secretary. con-
gratulated the shareholders on the opening of the Liver-
pool and Preston portion of the line, by which the short-
est route between Liverpool and Preston, and the great
north lines, was secured. The working expenses of the
line for the last half-year were 30-1 per cent. upon the
receipts, against 43 per cent. for the previous half-year.
There was a steady improvement in the traffic receipts,
which had increased upon an average of £37 ds. 91 per
mile per week, to £4O 83. per mile per week. The average
profit per mile per week for the last half year was
£23 2s. 9d., elain.t £l9 3s. Ild. per mile during the
previous half year. From the 3d of June the mail be-
tween Liverpool and Preston had been conveyed on the
Ormskirk line, by order of the Postmaster-General. The
works in Tithebarn-street extension, in Liverpool, were
in course of construction by the Lancashire and York-
shire Railway Company, and already a large amount had
been expended ;in the purchase of the required property.
This Company contribute one half of the cost. The
works on the dock branch at Livepool had not yet been
commenced.
The CHAIRMAN, in a speech of considerable length,
moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded
by Mr. GEORGE, of Leeds, and, after some discussion, was
carried.
In answer to a question from a shareholder, the Chair-
man stated that the present capital of the Company and
their borrowing powers., would suffice to complete the
whole of the line in its integrity. £74,000 more would
be required in order to complete the dock branch at
Liverpool, and the Bacup branch. The Chairman also
stated that one of the directors of the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Company had informed him that no one could
tell to £lOO,OOO what would be the cost of the Tithebarn-
street extension at Liverpool.
This statement seemed to cause considerable sensation
amongst several of the shareholders present.
A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the
quarter-shares and 6 per cent. on the preference quarter
shares was declared.
A long and exceedingly warm discussion then took
place on the subject of cheap Sunday trains. It appeared
that there was a diffCreii.ce of opinion Et the board as to
the propriety or otherwise of running these trains, and
the board, in consequence, was anxious to have the deci-
sion of the shareholders for their future guidance.
Mr. WRIGLEY, of Manchester, in an exceedingly pow-
erful address, urged the meeting to sanction the•cheap
Sunday trains, as an act of juatice to the working classes,
who were prevented from recreation during the week days.
Mr. TREBBIT, of London, followed on the same side,
and moved a resolution to that effect, which was seconded
by Mr. Wrigley.
Mr. Rama, of Bradford, condemned the Sunday cheap
trains as a violation of the Sabbath, and said that if they
were compelled to resort to them, in order to make the
line profitable, the undertaking had better be abandoned.
It was an outrage on the divine law, and disgraceful to
them as Christian men, to sanction such a system. He
moved, as an amendment, that Sunday cheap trains be
prohibited.
Captain HARRISON seconded the amendment.
A very lengthy and fierce discussion followed, and ulti-
mately a resolution was passed to the following effect
" That Sunday cheap trains run, but that no such trains
be permitted to be on any part of the line later than half-
past nine in the morning, nor earlier than five o'clock in
the afternoon.
After some other general routine business had been dis-
posed of,.,the meeting broke up after a protracted sitting
of 'four hours.

ter; Messrs. Langton, and Dallas, of Liverpool ; Wig-

In the middle of the Yorkshire party's first innings,
the rain was so excessive as to compel the players to dis-
continue the game for some hours. The game was re-
sumed on Wednesday. The .following are the respective
scores at the close, the Yorkshire winning with four
wickets to go down :7
