THE REPORT.

The present meeting has been cal'ed by the Directory, under
that clause of the Subscribers' agreement which authorises the
lloaril to call a general meeting of the Subscribers, and pro-
vides, that the majority of the persons present at such general
'fleeting (to consist of not less than 40 persons, holding in the
Iggregate 3,000 shales in the Company) should have full
Power to determine whether and upon what terms and condi-
tions the undertaking should be abandoned, and the Company
dissobed, and the affairs thereof wound up, and to make such
provisions for those purposes as to such meeting should appear
exedient.
It is not the intention of the Directors to advert to the cir-
cumstances attending the defeat of the Bill submitted to Par-
liament in the last Session.
Looking at the present condition of railway property in
general, and the unexampled depression under which the trade
of this d strict is now labouring, they are of opinion, that it is
not desirable immediately to renew the application to Parlia-
silent for power to construct the line. But, retaining their
conviction of the value of a railway through the Trent Valley,
Ind wishing, at the same time, to consult the convenience of
the Shareholders, they recommend that the unexpended funds
be
the Company be distributed, and that all further proceedings
De postponed until a more favourable state of circumstances
shall warrant the Shareholders in authorising the prosecution of
the undertaking. In the mean time; it will be satisfactory to
the Shareholders to be apprised, that no new expenses will be
incurred, and that their liability will be determined, upon
the receipt of their proportions of the balance of the Com-
Pany's funds.

A FACT.
ECHI'S MAGIC STROP is known to
have sharpened Razors when all other means have
failed. Those who doubt it can ask their friends, and if they
11.1hase and are not satisfied, may have their money returned.

tiles 55., 53. 6d., and 6s. 6d. each. The MAGIC PASTE is

sears,
and a half of Paste have been sold in the last six
which is a pretty pod proof of their excellence. There
tti little fact, however, to notice, which may prevent much
b.3aPPointment and a good deal of pain : sundry unprincipled
t...-ralns, desirous of sharing Mechi's good fortune, without
•
1,44,.is entitled to it, have made up thousands of common strops,
Wing them " The Magic Stro" " The Double Magic
1141.t°P.' " The Real Magic Strop," &c. and so on, taking care
Ilk to put on Mechi's Magic Strop. Now, by noticing the
Cne " Mechi" on each Strop, with the address " No. 4,
eadenhall.street, London," you are sure to be right, as the
sZ, will not allow them to put MecLe s name on the spurious
• These imitation Strops are manufactured in large
rraitities at Sheffield, and shipped to a considerable extent to
Ilterie% and the Colonies, and it is to be feared that in too
kil hush instances the buyers are nt aware they are deceived,
t, they find them of no use in sharpening, which isa
4siderahle in'ur to Mechi's good name. Most respectable
irfumers throughout the United Kingdom will supply the
utpuine Strop as cheap as if purchased at Mechi's. His ma.
