A T the HALF-YEARLY MEETING of the PRO PRIETORS, held at the CUTLERS' HALL, Sheffield, on the 31st of August, 1842 : MICHAEL ELLISON, Esq., in the Chair, It was resolved, Moved by Mr. T. A. WARD ; seconded by Mr. J. JOHNSON, 1. That the Directors' Report, together with that of the Engineer, as now read to the meeting, be received and adopted, and printed for circulation amongst the Sharehold ers. [PRICE FIVEPENCE. Having earefully revised the share list, the Directors have reluctantly concluded to recommend 1,419 shares for forfei ture, and now submit the same to the proprietors for that purpose ' • the preliminary bu s i ness requ i re d b y t h e act of par liament having been taken. The average amount paid on these shares is £l6 9s. 51d. per share. The Directors cannot conclude this report without assur ing the shareholders that as they have hitherto, under the discouragement of adverse circumstances, used every exertion to uphold this undertaking, and to carry it to a successful issue, so they will, for the future, persevere in a like course, entertaining most confident expectation that, supported by the shareholders, and encouraged with their confidence, they will be able, within a much shorter space of time than has been calculated for them, secure the accomplishment of one of the most important railway communications in the king dom yet remaining to be completed. REPORT OF THE ENGINEER. To the Directors of the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. GENTLEMEN,—Since my last Report, read before the ge neral meeting of the Proprietors, the works in hand have progressed very satisfactorily. .The double line of permanent road has been completed from Manchester to Newton, and that portion of the railway now open to the public has been kept in a most efficient state of repair, and is in very good order. Stations for the accommodation of the coal trade have been built at Ardwick, Godley, and Newton, and a siding has been laid down at the expense of the Dunkirk Coal Company, connecting their colliery at Dewsnap with this railway. lIATTERSLEY CONTRACT. This contract is nearly completed, and ready for the per manent road, with the exception of the tunnel at Hattersley, which, owing to the extremely wet nature of the ground, and the peculiarity of its formation, rendering it impossible to drain it, except from one end, has been a work of unexpected labour. lam happy to state, however. that great progress has been made during the late fine weather, and I look with confidence to having this part of the line ready for opening in a short time. The Harewood Viaduct of 19 arches is nearly completed, 18 of them being finished, and the last one in hand. ETHEROW VIADUCT. One abutment is finished, and the other nearly so. The shafts of the two piers are built to the height of 30 feet above the level of the springing of the arches. The centres are now up in the middle arch, and the arched ribs of timber will be completed next week. The two side arches will then be proceeded with. Nearly the whole of the timber re quired for the viaduct is now on the ground. The progress of this work has been highly satisfactory. Moved by Mr. KENYON PARKER ; seconded by Mr. IRONSIDE, 2. That the Abstract of Accounts now submitted be ap proved and distributed amongst the Shareholders. Moved by Mr. SAMUEL BUTCHER; seconded by Mr. WILLIAM HOYLAND, 3. That the Declaration of Forfeiture made by the Direc tors of the following Shares, being in number 1419, be now confirmed ; and that they be authorised and directed to dis pose of the same Shares by sale or otherwise, as provided by the Acts of Parliament relating to this Company, for such prices and on such conditions as they may think fit.—[The shares were then reported by their progressive numbers.] Moved by Mr. KENYON PARKER; seconded by Mr. IRONSIDE, 4.

Our progress, at the present time, averages about 80 yards per week ; but this will be increased when the drift ways are worked from Nos. 1 and 2 shafts, which we expect to enter upon in a very short period. The water has very materially decreased, so that we can now keep it down with out difficulty. The line has been set out from Dinting Vale to the tunnel, and the working plans, sections and specifications are now ready, so that this part of the line will be let immediately. A portion of the line at the Sheffield end has been let to Messrs. Buxton and Clarke, and will be commenced upon forthwith.

The continued preference of the Public for the above preparations, celebrated for their superior quality throughout the last half century, calls for the respectful acknowledgments' ,o6° the Manufacturers, who beg leave particularly to CAUTION their Friends and Cus tomers in general against an imposition continually practised by unprincipled persons filling SCEIWEPPE'S bottles with a spurious composition, and passing it off as ScirwEPPE's manufacture. The imitations contain no alkali, and are alto gether destitute of those medical qualities which have contri buted so materially to establish the credit of the former, and to secure for it the approbation of the Faculty.

The Directors also propose, should they meet with due encouragement, and should they have the approval of the shareholders, to take preliminary steps to form a company, and provide capital for the: Barnsley junction, perfectly distinct from the present undertaking, so that the opportunity may be afforded to apply to parliament, during the next session, for powers to carry out this object also.. The construction of the works between Manchester and Glossop is going on in a most satisfactory manner ; and, not withstanding the delay that has arisen from the disturbed state of the country during the last three weeks, the Direc tors hope they shall still be able to- open to Glossop during the month of November. The works of the Summit Tun nel are also most successfully progressing, and the formida ble difficulties attending this portion of the undertaking may now be regarded as conquered. Since the last half-yearly meeting 1.195 yards of double drift-way have been formed; which, in addition to what had previously been accomplished, amounts to 3032 yards, leaving 2268 to be completed, which the Directors have every reason to believe will be nearly, if not wholly, driven by the annual meeting in February nest. To afford as accurate information as passible regarding the outlay upon this work, and to prevent misapprehension as to its actual amount, the Directors think proper to add the fol lowing short statement : Expended on Engines, Roads, Timber, Tem porary Rails, & c........... Expended in the Erection and Fitting.up of Cottages. 3,853 9 11 Expended in Sinking Shafts.

CONNON, Secretary, ROYAL ASSEMF3LY ROOMS, Gl?Eil7' GEORGE-STREET. £76,823 16 9 For a more detailed acc oun t o f th e works :upon the line, the Directors refer the Shareholders to the subjoined report of their engineer. They have, however, to state that they have advertised for- tenders for the Dinting Viaduct and the Longdendaie Contract, comprising the whole distance be tween the termination of the Gamesley Contract and the Summit Tunnel; and that they have let to Messrs. Buxton and Clarke, the Old Park Wood Contract ; which latter measure, they are of opinion, will produce much satisfaction, by enablin the coany to yield employment to a consi derable nu g mber of able-bodied ab p le-bodied poor o Sheffield and the neighbourhood, who, from the depressed condition of the manufacturing interests of this kingdom, cannot find em ployment in their respective callings,—and at the same, time convincing that shareholders that the Directors have no other wish or intention than to complete the line in its perfect in tegrity. It will be in the recollection of the shareholders that a Special General Meeting of that body was held in January last, when the Directors were authorised to apply to parlia ment for powers to facilitate the providing of funds for car rying on the works. Such application was made, and, greatly to the surprise of the Directors, an opposition (insti gated, no doubt, by a party whom it is not necessary to par ticularize), was got up against it, which, however, had no other effect than causing some additional expense to the company. The Directors believe that this legislative mea sure has already been of considerable benefit, and would have improved their position still more, by enabling them to bor row upon the security of the railway, its works and tolls, such a sum as the company was empowered to raise, had not the depressed condition of trade operated against it. Having failed to provide this sum with sufficient rapidity, and wishing to avoid any further pressure upon the share holders, the Directors determined to apply to Government for their aid in procuring a loan from the Public Works Loan Commissioners. Their application was favourably received ; but considerable delay Arose before a decisive re ply could be obtained from the Commissioners. The Di rectors have, however, the satisfaction to announce, that those gentlemen have consented to a loan of X 50,000, on cer tain conditions, which, in substance, ate—that the company shall raise a like sum from their own resources, which, with the amount of the loan, sh a ll b e expen d ed in future works of the railway during the next twelve months ; and that the extension of the line to Glossop shall be complete in February next. To these conditions the Directors have acceded ; and it is hoped that the sum so granted will be advanced in the course of a month. As, however, this sum, aided by the me ans already possessed by the Directors, will not enable them to complete the railway, it is their intention, with the sanction of the proprietors, to apply to parliament, during the next session, for powers authorising them to raise such additional capital as may be requisite for that purpose, as well as to obtain an extension of time for completion of the works. Since the last half-yearly meeting John Rodgers, Esq., finding that his other engagements would not permit him to give full attention to the affairs of this railway, has retired from the direction ; and the seat at the board, thus become vacant, has been filled by the appointment of Mr. William Bradley, whose experience in railway concerns pointed him out as eminently qualified for the situation of a Director of this Company. _ LAST& APPEARANCE IN ENGLAND.

The period has again t arrived ;, when it is due fromthose placed in the direction o 'l' the affairs of this undertaking, to report to the proprietary such changes in its s t a te an d cir cumstances as have arisen since they met that body in February last, In performing this duty the directors feel that they have only one course to pursue—to give an honest and impartial exposition of facts, neither holding out expec tations that may prove delusive, nor representing future prospects other than they appear; and to render a just and true account of the expenditure of such portion of the com pany's funds as has passed through their hands. In their last repo r t th e di rec t ors announce d a part i al open ing of the line, under prospects deemed by them to be very encouraging. They are now able to lay before the share holders the results of the traffic upon this small part of the railway, during a period of little more than seven months. If those results should not prove all that could be des;red, they will perhaps be allowed to pass for all that could be reasonably calculated upon. From the 17th November to the 30th of June last, the receipts for the carriage of passen gers and parcels only amounted to £8333 10s. 7d., and the ' expenses to £5942 25., leaving a surplus of £2391 Bs. 7d., from which should be deducted some outstanding claims, the amount of which could not be ascertained. The num ' ber of passengers conveyed during this period has been about 220,000-8509 having passed over this part of the line in one day. Although the passengers have been thus numerous, the directors have to congratulate the shareholders, as well as themselves, that, in the conveyance of them, not the slightest accident has occurred, nor has the most trifling in ! jury been sustained by a single i n di v idual—passe nger or servant—since this portion of the railway came into opera tion. The attention of the directors has been, and will continue to be, devoted to increase the receipts, by encouraging every species of profitable traffic ; and in furtherance of this object they are now engaged in perfecting arrangements for the transit of coal, from the collieries near Dukinfield, to Manchester and other places. When these shall be com plete, the directors believe that a considerable revenue will be produced from this source, while at the same time the inhabitants of a populous manufacturing district will be in sured a good supply of this essential article at a reduced price. In order to render this railway as accessible as possible to those towns and districts which appear likely to yield profit able traffic, the Directors have turned their attention to the formation of two distinct branches ; one to connect the towns of Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge , with this under taking; another to form a junction with the North Midland Railway, from Osspring to Royston, past the town of Barns ley. There is no doubt that the present communication with the towns of Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge is not defects, but, by yielding such as it ought to be, whether we . consider the convenience of the inhabitants, or the exclusion of all competition by coaches. The Directors are, however, persuaded that the a r most valuable adjunct to our contemplated connection with those towns, by a short existingrail .the sanction of the proprie apply to parliament, in the miming session, for line;mw auyc,hwaa apply tti additional nyo trade, o p remedy ?p ru nv de lord, to
