SHEFFIELD, ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, AND MAN-
CHESTS 4AILWAT. —A meeting of the Board of Directors or
the above undcrtakint was held on Wednesday, the 18th inst ,
at Penistone, the Right Hon. Lord Whatncliffe in the chair,
at which Mr. Vignoles, the eminent engineer of the Company,
was instructed to proceed immediately to stake out the line of
Railway, and prepare for putting the works into ac!ive opera-
tion. It is expected that the Mare' o Act' end of the line,
running by Ashton, Hyde, and Mottrarn, as far as Gio.‘sop,
will be completed at an early period, by which a large and
profitable pasS'enger traffic will b..: brought ut-ol the Railway,
whilst the heavier works near the summit are in progress.
Front the arrangements in contemplation, there is no doubt
that the whole of the line will be completed within the time
fixed by Act of Parliament. We should riot omit to notice,
that at the same meeting, a Deputation from Barnsley waited
upon the Board, to solicit their co-operation in the formation
of an intended line, branching front the Sheffield and .Man-
ehester Railway, near to Penistone, and proceeding through
the Silks'one and Barnley coal-fields to the port of Conic.
By this line, in conjunction with the Sheffield and Manches-
ter, a saving in distance accounting to nearly thirty milt s, will
be effected between the manufacturing districts of Lancashire,
and the outlet of their immense con inental traffic ; in addition
to which an extensive and valuable coalfield will be opened
at once to the London market, and the Humber thus become
a formidable rival to the Tyne and Near.—Manckster
Courier.
