Your Directors, since their address to the Proprietors on the 28th ulto., have had placed in their hands an old Map of Manchester, published nearly half a century since, from which some useful instruction may be derived. At that pe riod, Hunt's Bank was to be found at the extreme border of the town. It is to be found there still. Manchester has made rapid progress since 1794, but it has not been yid Heat's Bank. Greatly has the town increased, but it has been in the opposite direction. The centre of Manchester has moved onwards from the direction of Hunt's Bank, towards Store-street. In the Map which the Directors have prepared to exhibit, with accuracy, the several Railways and the proposed Junction Lines, they have ordered the old town of 1794 to he left unshaded; thus exhibiting at a glance, by reference to the shaded parts, both the extent and direction in which the increase of Manchester has taken place. The Directors will now advert to the former proposal of the Leeds Directors, to submit to the Proprietors of the Manchester and Leeds Company, with the strongest recom mendation of the Board, a proposition to secure to the Pro prietors of the Liverpool and Manchester Company, for a term of veers, in the event of the Hunt's Bank Junction being forthwith completed, an Annual Dividend of Teri, per Cent.. upon £1,434,725, the total Capital of this Company. The Directors are not insensible to the value of a well secured permanent Dividend of Ten per Cent. per annum on their whole capital, if such a proposition could be practically carried out with due regard to existing engagements, and to the various interests for which this Company must be consi dered Trustees. After the fullest consideration of the sub ject, the Directors have no hesitation in stating their convic tion, that the greatest if not insuperable difficulties would attend the attempt to carry such an arrangement into effect; nor can they recommend to the Proprietors to entertain the proposal, accompanied by the condition which attaches to it; for what is its purport ? This Company is required to eons plete the Salford Junction forthwith, and then the Leeds Directors will submit to their Proprietors a proposition and recommendation to secure to this Company, for a, term of years, Ten per Cent. on their capital. It is clearly impossi ble to entertain such a proposition. Buthad the proposal assumed a more defined form, a n d a' peipetual Lease and Guarantee been offered to your consideration, your Directors are of opinion that the Parliamentary difficulties would have been insuperable, arising inevitably out of the conflicting interests, claims, and petitions of dissentient Proprietors, Trustees, and Mortgagees, on both Lines. Nor can it be overlooked, that the several schemes for a Junction of Rail ways in Manchester have assumed the character of a public question ; and that if the sanction of the Legislature be re quired in connection with this subject, it can only be expect ed on the ground that the measure proposed shall be clearly calculated to promote the public convenience. The Leeds Directors remark, that the course pursued by the Liverpool Company " has hitherto had no other effect than to give an impulse to the long-agitated scheme of a Northern Line to Liverpool." They admit, indeed, "the great advantages' . which the Public have derived by " the extended facilities given to commerce," by the Liverpool Railway : and the alternative of " a Northern Line to Li verpool," is assumed to be contingent ou the Liverpool Company " refusing to the inland Railways the means cf communicating with that Port." Your Directors are willing to place the question of " a Northern Line to Liverpool" upon that issue. So far from refusing to the inland Rail ways the means of communicatir , with the Port, they trust it will appear that they h ave laboured through evil report and good report, to promote the best possible communication between Liverpool and the great Railways radiating to the i interior of the country from Manchester, the common centre. There is yet another point to which the Directors would allude before closing this Report. It may be admitted that the South Connexion Line is the only one which can afford to this Company a fair practicable communication with the Manchester and Leeds Line, on the one hand, and with the Birmingham and the Sheffield Lines on the other; and it will hardly be disputed, that the connexion between the Leeds Line and the Birmingham Line is incomparably better by the Over-ground way from Oldham Road to Store-street, than by the Inclined Plane from St. George's Road to Hunt's Bank, and thence by the proposed Tunnel to Store street. But it may be urged, that the Manchester and Leeds Company have already expended some Thirty or Forty Thousand Pounds in the purchase of Land between St. George's Road and Hunt's Bank, in conformity with their present Act of Parliament. Your Directors, in discussing the comparative merits of the two Lines, have proceeded. throughout, on the principle, that the best possible Line for the Railways, and for the Public, should be selected ; and then, that the several Com panies should contribute their fair and equitable proportion of the whole cost. Under the circumstances of the case, it may be reasonable that any loss to arise from the re-sale of Land purchased with a view to the Hunt's Bank Junction, should be defrayed out of the common purse, and not out of the funds of the Manchester and Leeds Company. If the several Railway Bodies, or some high Authority on their behalf, could determine the particular Line which would best accomplish the great objects in view, it would be a minor difficulty, with honourable intentions on all sides, to deter mine the proportion of the Cost which each Company ought to belr. Your Directors have full confidence in the correct ness of the views which after mature consideration they have taken on this question; and in the hope that the other Com panies interested will concur in such a course, they have de termined to recommend to the Proprietors to consent to re fer the great question at issue as to _the best practicable set : erne for connecting the several Railways at Manchester to be settled by the deliberate and impartial award, either of the Members for the Northern Division of Lancashire, the Chancellor of the Duchy. or the Board of Trade. CHARLES LAWRENCE, Chairman. The f o llowing are the Resolutions proposed by the Direc tors ; and the same having been moved by J. B. BOOTIIIIY, Esq., and seconded by J. T. ALSTON, Esq., were adopted by the Meeting. Resolved,— FlnsT,—That this Meeting, having considered the relative merits of the proposed Junction Lines in reference to the great object to be accomplished—namely, the best possible Junction of the several Railways terminating in Manchester, is of opinion that the South Line via Store-street would con stitute the most eligible connexion. SECONDLY,—That a Junction of Railways in Manchester, which should combine the greatest practicable amount of ad vantage to all parties concerned, would be an important pub lic accommodation. . THIRDLY,—That the Directors of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway be empowered to open a negociation with the other Companies for the desired object, with powers, should it be deemed expedient, to refer the great question at issue as to the best practicable scheme for connecting the several Railways at Manchester to be settled by the delibe rate and impartial award, either of the members for the Northern Division of Lancashire, the Chancellor of the Duchy, or the Board of Trade. FOURTHLY, — That the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Company (supposing the South Line to be adopted) be afforded every facility for joining the Liverpool and Man chester Line, and be included and favourably considered in any general arrangement for the Transit along the Junction Lines, of the Traffic to and from each Railway.

ANDREW -SQUARE Glasgow, No. 141, BUCHANA.N-STREET. rrll E FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING of the mem bers-a- of this Institution was held oiktiie 16th of February last, within the Waterloo-rooms, t/ _ ALEXANDER JAMIESON, Esq., Mutter of the Merchant Company, in the Chair. The Report by the DireciOrs contained the following state ments : The progress of the Institution in the past year has been most gratifying in all respects, and the Directors have much satisfaction in now laying the result of their proceedings be fore the Contributors. " During the twelve months no less than 306 new Policies have been opened, being an increase of 104 upon the Polices 01 1839, and of 28 upon those of 1840. The sum assured by these new Policies (independently of Annuities) is £140,141, and the Annual Premiums payable on them amount to £3699- " The mortality during last year has been unprecedentedly low, and it has occurred among the smaller class of Policies. Of the whole number of members assured only three have died, the sums in whose policies amount to £550. The ex perience of the Institution in this respect has been through out extremely favourable, only nine deaths having occurred since the commencement, being just two-fifths of what is calculated on and provided for by the Tables on which its premiums are founded. According to the Northampton Table, on which the Rates of the older offices proceed, in stead of nine, no less than thirty-three deaths might have been expected. " In the Annuity department of the business one death has occurred in the year, whereby a sum of £378, which had recently been sunk, has fallen in. If this annuity is taken into view, the whole sums payable on lapsed policies in the last twelve months amount to no more than £172. " While such has been the prosperity of the Institution, the Contributors will bear in mind that the year just closed has been one of great depression in almost every branch of business. Circumstances have thus been most unpropitious for the extension of Life Assurance; and this, the Directors believe, has been pretty generally experienced by Assurance Companies, both in the decrease of new transactions, and its the surrender of existing policies. There is no doubt that this unfavourable state of matters must also have retarded the progress of this institution but still the gratifying fact remains, that the business of the past, considerably exceeds that of any previous year." The following gentlemen were unanimously appointed Directors in room of the three who retire by rotation : JoHN CADELL, Esq, of Tranant. ROBERT HUNTER, Esq. Advocate, Sheriff of Bute. CHARLES LAWSON, Esq. Seedsman.

PRIESTLEY, CuEmisT, Lord-street, begs particu o larly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to the undermentioned selection of Preparations, compound ed at his Laboratory, a trial of any of which will convince the most sceptical of their decided superiority. THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible, to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract/which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of etnploying this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a prepfrllion equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Deoation, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Bublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, Ike. troin the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation. PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu racy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. VEGETABLE HAIR OIL Is allowed to he an excellent discovery for invigorating and renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou rishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beau tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Flair a peculiar soft ness of texture and luxuriant appearance.

At the period referred to, your Directors had only time to notice those statements in the " Reply" which referred to the comparative merits of the two J unction Lines. They proceed now to remark briefly on such other portions of this document as appear to call for particular notice ; and they will refer to the points claiming observation in the order in which they appear in it. First, the complaint against this Company, put forth it would seem on behalf of the Mfinches ter and Balton Company; that " had the Liverpool Directors ever seriously entertained the question of carrying out the Hunt's-bank Line, after obtaining their Act, they would undoubtedly have communicated with the Bolton Company respecting the terms of the Parliamentary Agreement." It is true, that from the passing of the Act till the present time, nearly three years, the Directors first impression of doubt and hesitation, as to the expediency of carrying out the Hunt's Bank Line, hasbeen gradually strengthened and con firmed. Neither the prospect of direct traffic, nor the gene ral condition of trade and manufactures, has been such as to justify the Directors in recommending to the Proprietors a very large outlay for the attainment of a limited and incom plete, though in many respects an important, object. The option of making or not making the Hunt's Bank Line being secured to them by their Act of Parliament, and distinctly recognised in their Agreement with the Bolton Directors, passed under the Common Seal of each Company respectively, your Directors, as in duty bound, hare pursued that course which they have considered most conducive to those large interests which they have been especially ap pointed to superintend. The next subject calling for remark is the discrepancy in the original Traffic estimates between the two Companies. Your Directors, in their last Half-yearly Report, observing upon the extraordinary amount of Traffic considered by the Leeds Company to belong to the Rochdale Canal in the up direction, towards the interior of Yorkshire, made the fol lowing remark. " And yet the Manchester and Leeds Report assumes that 210,000 tons per aunum, more than half the immense ton nage from Liverpool by all modes of conveyance, passes to the interior, exclusively in one direction up the comparatively limited channel of communication, the Rochdale Canal." Now, in reference to this passage, we are informed in the " Reply," that the Chairman of the Leeds Company was in error in assuming that th e 210 , 000 tons passe d a ll i n one direction up the Rochdale Canal ; he should have stated that such, according to Mr. Stanway's returns, was the Quantity, in both direction ; and then it goes on to express surprise that the Liverpool Directors could have been so far misled as to put forth the passage just quoted, inasmuch as the dis covery of this error "destroys their whole argument on the subject." Your Directors would certainly have given occasion for surprise if they bad founded their argument so loosely that it should be wholly destroyed by so unimportant an error as the one alluded to. Your Directors were fully aware of the ge neral scope and tenor of Mr. Stanway's Estimates, and on the occasion referred to, as on all occasions, they were careful to keep altogether within the mark, in any strictures or com parative observations, on questions of figures, which it might be incumbent upon them to make. What, then, specifically, is the argument on the part of your Directors, which is now stated to be wholly destroyed by the discovery of this mis conception. Your Directors expressed their surprise that the Manchester and Leeds Report should assume that " more than half the immense tonnage from Liverpool (to Manches ter), by all modes of conveyance, passes to the interior, ex clusively in one direction up the comparatively limited channel of communication, the Rochdale Canal." And in what measure is the strength of this observation affected by the discovered error on the part of the Leeds Company ? Not in the least. The observation was strictly and literally true, taking no account of the error referred to ; and it is strictly and literally true, supposing the error to be corrected. It is to be regretted that the " Reply," after summoning the error in question to perform so important a part in the argu• ment, should not have informed us wherein the precise error consists. It is said, indeed, that the 210,000 tons on the Rochdale Canal were intended " to include the Traffic in both directions ;" but the Reply is silent as to the essential point in the argument, how much in each direction. On referring to copies of Mr. Stanway's original Documents, his Estimates appear to be, that out of the aggregate amount of 210,314 tons, only 15,392 tons passed down the Rochdale Canal, while 194,922 tons passed up. the Canal ; thus verify ing literally and to the full extent, after allowing for the error of 15..000 tons, the observation of your Directors, in which they expressed a doubt "that more than half the immense tonnage from Liverpool, by all modes of conveyance, should pass to the interior in one direction up the comparatively limited channel of the Rochdale Canal." The " Reply," after noticing the Up Traffic from Liverpool to Manchester, proceeds to remark, that 375,000 tons per Annum being admitted to pass in One direction, " probably not less than 620,000 tons pass in both directions." This would suppose 245,000 tons per Annum for the Down Traffic from Manchester to Liverpool, or very nearly 800 tons for each working day in the year; an amount which will at once be acknowledged by men conversant with the trade to be greatly beyond the real fact of the case. For of what could so large an amount of Down Traffic consist ? The Grain and the Flour, the Sugar and Coffee, the Wines and Spirits, the Tallow, Butter, Eggs, Dyewoods, Drysalteries, Timber, Cattle, Pigs, &c. &c. ; these great articles of import once despatched into the Country do not come back; and of the various descriptions of Manufactures, only a portion is sent to Liverpool either for export or local consumption, while the remainder finds its way either t o th e i nter i or o f t h e Country for consumption, or to the East Coast for export. In the Postscript to the communication which the Directors addressed to the Shareholders announcing the present Meet ing, they were able very briefly to advert to the project of a Tunnel from Store-street to Hunt's Bank, to connect the Manchester and Birmingham Railway with the Leeds Railway at Hunt's Bank. This Project requires more particular notice. It will be recollected that the Man chester and Birmingham and the Sheffield and Manchester Lines, which unite at Store-street. constitute the High ways to extensive and very populous Districts, com prising, within a short distance from Manchester, Stockport, Macclesfield, Staley Bridge, Ashton, Hyde, Glossop, &c. &c., and ultimately Sheffield and other distant places ; con sequently that in any plan for a Junction of Railways in Manchester, calculated to benefit this concern, a good con nection with these two Lines is an essential and indispensable requisite. Your Directors have had the opportunity of in specting copies of the Plans and Sections of this Tunnel, as lodged with the Clerk of the Peace at Preston, and they find it yet more objectionable than they at first imagined. At the lower end, at Hunt's Bank, the Tunnel comes out on the sur face of the ground, or about sixteen feet below the level of the Rails at the proposed Junction of the Liverpool and Manchester and the Manchester and Leeds Lines. The Tunnel is about 1,500 yards in length. At the lower end it has an S curve, or double bend, and at the upper end, an elbow extending nearly to a right angle, as it approaches Store-street, at which place the Rails in the Tunnel are 73 feet below the level of the Manchester and Birmingham Rail way. Most justly applicable indeed to this mode of inter communication is the strong denunciation of the Manchester and Leeds Board applied to the supposed Tunnel between Store-street and Oldham Road. But your Directors can scarcely believe that the Members of the Leeds Board have deliberately considered the objectionable character of this project, or that with the facts of the case clearly before them, they could seriously propose the Tunnel, of w hi c h the Plans are just lodged with the Clerk of the Peace at Preston, as the great highway between Liverpool and those populous 4 7 6 - VA, e i -Lt ,x L,a' ? i r/z ~. .
