At the ordinary lIALF-YEARLY MEETING of the PROPRIE-
'ORS, held on the 24th day of August, 1847, at the Exchange Hall,
Nottingham, for the purpose of receiving a statement of the
,pro-
Ceedings of the Directors and the Accounts of the Company, NI, ~F.
11-.. Norton, Esq., in the chair,
The following REPORT was read by the Secretary:—Since the
last ordinary meeting of the Proprietors, your Directors have con-
tracted with Mr. Wythes for the formation of that portion of
the line oetween Bottesford and Grantham, including the
Gogterby-hill Tunnel, and the Canal Branch (about eig ;t miles), and
the works are progressing to the satisfaction of your Directors.
'They have also been called upon by the Midland Company to fulfil
the. agreement entered into for the joint construction of the four
althea west of Nottingham to Bulwell, which will effect a large sav-
ing to this Company.
Your Directors have not deemed it prudent to enter into any other
tan:tracts, or to incur and other liabilities, in consequence of the mo-
hetary pressure, and also from an assurance given at the last ordi-
*ary meeting that no further call should be made before the pre. ent
theeting, when your opinions might be consulted and directions
take a. At the same time your Directors have no hesitation in de-
aler tug that the true interests of the Company will be ►est promoted
by completing the line between Nottingham and Grantham at the
earliest period; and they regret that by this delay they will be un-
able to avail themselves of the summer months for the formation of
their works, which would have been greatly to the advantage of the
Company.
On the first application to Parliament for the construction of this
railway, the Midland Company I% ere large shareholders, and being
ether wise interested, It was not thought advisable to incur the ex-
Penns s of making a separate station, wharfs, &c., at Nottingham, and
thert fore me powers in the original Act were taken for that purpose ;
bat, s that Company subsequently withdrew their connexion, your
Direr :tors, under the sanction of the half-yearly meeting in February
last, applied to Parliament to deviate the line, and by increasing
Chair powers to secure an independent position.

An the Company's trains would have to pass over the Lincoln line
abeam two miles, the Midland Company had the power to charge
after the rate of six miles. To be relieved from that heavy toll was
antler important desideratum—and though the Company by
the purchase of the Nottingham Canal had the best depot for the
accommodation of the town of Nottingham, yet no independent ac-
cess was secured. Under these circumstances your Directors deemed
it advisable to apply to Parliament to effect the above objects, and
they coagratulate the SharcholLers in having succeeded upon terms
treatly to the advantage of the Company. After the Bill had been
intreduced into Parliament, the Midland Company met your Direc-
tors in a very liberal and friendly spirit, and after some negotiations,
an agreement was entered into under the corporate seals of each
Compasy, by which the Midland Company consented to repeal so
mauch of the Liucola Act as enabled them to charge the six miles
zate, and a clause to that effect has been introduced into their
amended Act, by which this Company pay a mileage only. They
lave also agreed to provide the necessary stations and other accom-
*lodation for the passeegers and traffic, both at Nottingham and
Ambergate. the extent and terms to be arranged by a Director ap-
Panted from each Company, and in case of difference, to be settled
by an umpire.
In consequence of this agreement your Directors only proceeded
to obtain powers for the construction of the Branch to the Canal
t'll:arf at Nottingham, which they have obtained, and over which
Midland Company have power to run their trains, on payment
of toll.

The concessions and powers thus secured are of the utmost im-
portance and advantage to the Company. The most convenient
stations and ample accommodation for passengers and merchandize
will be provided, both at Nottingham and Ambergate, and the saving
In the outlay of capital, as well as time and the convenience to the
public will be greatly effected. As the traffic in coal, corn, cattle,
and heavy goods, according to the estimates proved, will be very
large, the advantage obtained by the possession of the Canal Wharf
is of the first consideration, as it gives to this Company the best
trading position in the town of Nottingham, which could not other-
Wise have been secured, except at an tenor nous sacrifice of money.
The Altura prosperity and almost vitality of the line were most
severely attacked during the last session of Parliament, by the Great
Northern and Eastern Counties Companies. The former projected
a line front Gosbertoa on the Boston loop to Houghton Mill, north
of Grantham ; and the latter projected a line from Spalding to
Newark, each of which were parallel to the eastern portion of your
line. and if either had been obtained, would have diverted a consi-
derable portion of the eastern traffic. The Great Northern and East
Lincolnshire also introduced other Bills, the effect of which, if they
bad not been defeated, would have been to destroy your proposed
Station at Boston, and render the branch to the quay, at that place,
Almost useless. The Great Northern else, by another Bill, to effect
al deviation of their line near Grantham, made another attack upon
your line at that place, which wcuid have been most prejudicial had
tit been successful. In accordance, however, with their duties and
the active vigilance your Directors have ever endeavoured to exer-
cise in protecting the interests of the Company, they offered to the
w r

are happ:v to say that the best understanding now exists between
this Comeosty and the Eastern Counties. In fixing the station of
their Wisbee'Ch and Spalding line at the latter place, they, have
adopted your site, and an agreement has been entered into for the
construction of s lett station at the joint expense of the two Comp..a-
biee, and the allia.ne-e has further been strengthened by arranging for
an interchange of Weak, and running of trains, between Grantham
and Spalding, and sp aiding and Wisbeach, the terms and details of
Which are to be settleo by arbitration. This agreement will promote
alike the facility and convenience of the public, and the interests of
the Company, and may ultimately lead to a snore intimate union,
and which agreement will be submitted to the Special General Meet-
ing en the 21st of September next, to consider the propriety of con-
firming the same.
In conformity with the Act, four of the Directors, and ens of the
Auditors retire, who are eligible for re-election.
The Directors are happy to state that the differences which have
arisen between a portion of the Shareholders and the Board have
been amicably arranged, and that the Directors will be increased to
the fall number of sixteen ; seven of whom are to be recommended
by the Committees of the Shareholders. And for the election of three
en that number, a Special General- meeting will be necessary, which
Is fixed for Tuesday, the 21st of September next.

VALUABLE FAMILY MEDICINE.
HUNT'S APERIENT FAMILY PILLS ;
a most excellent Medicine for Bilious Complaints, Disorders
of the Stomach and Bowels, Habitual Costiveness, Indigestion,
Heartburn, Pains and Giddiness of the Head, Influenza, Worms,
Spasms, Nervous and Dropsical Complaints.
For upwards of FORTY-FIVE YEARS have these Pills obtained
the unqualified approbation of the public in general, among whom
may be included families of distinction and medic amen. Their com-
position is so truly excellent, and their beneficial effects have been so
widely experienced, that the proprietors feel the greatest confidence
in recommending them as one of the MILDEST and MOST EFFI-
CIENT APERIENT FAMILY MEDICINES ever offered to the
public. These Pills require no confinement nor alteration of diet,
and are adapted to every variety of age and constitution. They sel-
dom operate until eight or ten hems after taken, and then gently.
They restot e the tone of the stomach, strengthen the digestive organs,
cleanse the bowels of all impurities, and promote the due secretion of
the liver and of the kidneys, and by invigorating the system gene-
rally, become an invaluable restorative of health to both sexes.
OFFICERS of the ARMY and NAVY will find these Pills an in-
valuable appendage to their medicine chests, as they retain their me-
dicinal virtues in all climates.
Ladies even of the most delicate constitutions will find these Pills
particularly beneficial, both before and after their confinement ; ror
