statute measure or thereabouts, situate on the south side of
the road leading from Liscard to Wallasea. Two Quarries
of excellent Stone have been opened and are now in work in
this field.

SINCE they had last the pleasure to meet the proprietary,
the directors have entered into contracts, on very fa-
vourable terms, for the execution of the whole of the re-
maining part of the 104 miles of the line of this railway from
Manchester to Glossop, with the exception of the Etherow
Viaduct, a length of only 176 yards, for which the plans,
sections, and estimates are now prepared. The works of
these contracts, and the shafts and driftways of the Summit
Tunnel, are steadily proceeding in a satisfactory manner, as
will be explained more fully in the report of the resident
engineer. It is scarcely necessary to remind the sharehol
ders that when this 104 miles of railway—opening the traffic
with the densely-populated and rich manufacturing neigh-
bourhoods of Hooley Hill, Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge,
Duckinfield, Newton, Hyde, Godley, Broadbottom, Mot-
tram, and Glossop—is completed, which it may be within
the year 1841, if the requisite funds be supplied, an income
may be safely calculated upon that will realize a rate of pro-
fit upon the expenditure equal if not superior to any line of
railway yet made, even without taking into account the Shef-
field traffic, a considerable portion of which would no doubt
be brought upon it at Glossop.
The directors have to congratulate the shareholders upon
a saving, as compared with the original estimate, of about
£15,000, in that part of the line passing by Harewood Lodge,
the residence of Joe Sidebottam, Esq. For this important
saving the company is indebted to the liberality of that gen-
tleman, who has disinterestedly permitted the deviation from
the parliamentary line by which it is accomplished.
A difference of opinion with the majority of the directors
upon a subject of great importance, has led to the resignation
by Lord Wharncliffe of the office of Chairman of the Board,
a circumstance sincerely and deeply regretted by every mem-
ber of the direction. The directors have however the grati-
fication to believe that notwithstanding this unfortunate oc-
currence, his lordship still entertains those favourable senti-
ments towards this undertaking which originally obtained for
it his invaluable support.
Anxious to supply as far as was in their powei this heavy
loss, the directors offered to Mr. John Parker, the highly
respected and influential member for the borough of Shef-
field, the vacant chair; and they are happy to say that he
has cordially accepted it, and promied his effective co-ope-
ration in carrying this important enterprise to a successful

Lot B.—Two FIELDS, in Wallasea, (now laid together,)

issue.
The directors cannot omit the expression of their regret
that the calls are not more promptly. paid. They still hope,
that improvement in the commercial affairs of the country,
combined with that increased confidence in this undertaking
to which its merits so fully entitle it, and the result of the
actions at law into which they have most relucta►►tly been
compelled, will in a short time m*►terinity diminish the pecu-
niary difficulties which at present retard their progress.
They would at the same time observe, that it is possible this
condition of their pecuniary resources may induce a system
of economy in their expenditure eventually beneficial •to the
shareholders, by preventing a large outlay in ornamental
works, which, while they may be considered " Monuments
of National Taste," contribute nothing to the return upon
capital, which is of course the primary object with those who
invest their money in railway projects.

Lot 18.—A FIELD in Liscard, called Rake Hey, con-
taining IA. 3R. Si'. statute measure, or thereabouts, situate
on the west side of the road leading from Liscard to New
Brighton.

containing IA. lit. 14p. statute measure, or thereabouts, si-
tuate on the east side of the lower road from Liscard to New
Brighton, and on the south side of the road leading to the
house of Mr. Lowry.

To the Directors of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and

Manchester Railway Company.
Gentlemen,—ln making a report to you of the position in
which the works now stand, I shall briefly describe the state
of the various contracts, which I think from the time they
have been in hand are progressing satisfactorily.
No. 1, or Ardwick Contract, has been taken by Messrs.
Buxton and Clarke, and extends from the Junction with the
Manchester and Birmingham Railway, to a distance of 3}
miles therefrom. There is a very heavy embankment oh this
part of the line, the whole of the material for which has to
be supplied from the cutting at the eastern side. As the
greater portion of the earthwork for this embankment has to
be carried through the Aqueduct at the Stockport Canal, it is
very important that this bridge should be carried on with
vigour, as it forms the key to this part of the work. The
foundations are now laid, and the bridge is expected to be
completed in about a month.
A considerable length of the retaining walls at the foot of
the slopes, of the Ardwick embankment, have been built,
and the contractors are busily engaged in brick making along
the line, for the various bridges and culverts.
The Spoil Cutting at " Trail Dogs" is also going on rapidly,
and a considerable number of men are employed upon this
portion of the works.

Lot 20.—A FIELD in Liscard, called " Jones Hey,"
containing 2n. Ow. Ft". statute measure, or thereabouts,
situate on the east side of the road from Liscard to New
Brighton, and on the north side of the road leading to Mr.
Lowry's house. _

Lot 21.—A FIELD in Liscard, called the Townfield, con-
taining 2A. OR. 2r. statute measure, or thereabouts, situate
on the west side of the lower road from Liscard to New
Brighton, and on the south side of Townfield-lane.
Lot 22.—A Plot of LAND in Poulton cum Seacombe,
containing 7,371 square yards, or thereabouts, (part of the
Field called the Codling Gap,) situate on the west side, and
fronting to the River Mersey, and bounded on the west by
an intended road of 14 yards wide.

Lot 23.—Another Plot of LAND, containing 6,689 square
yards, or thereabouts, being other part of the said Field called
Codling Gap, and adjoining on the south side thereof to Lot
22.
Lot 24.—Another Plot of LAND, containing 6,827 square
yards, or thereabouts, other part of the said Field called Cod-
ling Gap, and adjoining on the south side thereof to Lot 23.
Lot 25.—A Piece of LAND in Poulton cum Seacombe,
containing 70,200 square yards, or thereabouts, the most
westerly part of the Codling Gap, bounded on the north by a
road of seven yards wide, on the east by an intended street
or road of 14 yards wide, and on the west by the road leading
from Poulton to Liscard,

their judgment.

It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while

SHEFFIELD, ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.
REPORT
of the Directors to the Shareholders in the above undertaking, submitted to a General Meeting of Proprietors, at the
Cutlers' Hall, in Sheffield, on the thirty-first day of August, 1840.
JOHN PARKER, ESQ., M.P., IN THE CHAIR.

No. 2, or Newton Contract, extends froth " Trail Dogs"
to Newton Green, and 'is in length about 31 miles. This
contract has been let to Messrs. Denton and Sergeant. A
great portion of the fence railing has been set up, and the
various cuttings anf embankments have been commenced.

The most inipor&nt work upon this contract is the bridge
over the River Tame, most of the foundations of which are
now in, and the remainder will be finished in a short time,
so that they will all be above the level of the ground before
winter sets in. The Iron Bridge over the Peak Forest Canal
is advancing favourably, and the beams for carrying the rails
are being cast, so that no time will be lost with this bridge,
over which a great part of the Tame Valley embankment will
have to be carried. The works from this point to the end of
the contract, are not of a heavy description, and are going on
well. The retaining walls west of the short tunnel at New-
ton Green are finished, and the face of the tunnel is ready to
be commenced.

No. 3, .or Hattersley Contract, is in the hands of Mr.
Brassey, and the length is about 21 miles. Although not
much apparent progress has been made, owing to difficulties
in obtaining possession of the ground, still preparations to a
great extent have been entered into, and a great number of
bricks have been burnt ready for the various bridges and -the
tunnel at Hattersley. The shafts for working this tunnel are
now commenced. Instead of building the six feet culvert in
the ravine at the east end of this contract, a driftway has
been commenced through the side of the hill, which will do
away with the great risk that would otherwise have been in-
curred in building a culvert under so high an embankment.
The arches and works extending from the end of this con-
tract, to the Broadbottom Bridge, have been lately let to Mr.
Brassey, who will lose no time in commencing them.
The bridge at Broadbottom is not yet contracted for, but
the plans and estimates are prepared. Ample time is left for
finishing this work as soon as the other portions of the line
already described.

No. 5, or Gamesley Contract, is let, to Messrs. Miller and
Blackie, who have been at work upon it for some time. This
contract consists principally of earthwork, and has been pro-
ceeding rather slowly ; it will now, however, be pushed for-
ward more vigorously, so as to be completed at the same time
as the others, that the line may be opened from Manchester
to Glossop at as early a period as possible.
From the end of the Gamesley Contract to the Summit
Tunnel at Woodhead, no contracts have yet been let, as
sufficient time will be allowed for this length to be completed
at the same period as the tunnel. The same observation ap-
plies to the Sheffield end of the line.
I shall now proceed to describe the state of the works at
the Summit Tunnel, which is three miles in length, and will
require some time for its completion—what that time will be
it is almost impossible at present to estimate ; but when the
shafts are sunk, the material through which we shall have to
cut will be known.

The driftways at the western face have been carried to the
distance of about 230 yards, through very hard rock. It is,
however, anticipated, that a stratum of shale will be entered
upon, in which case the progress will be much more rapid
than at present. The summit of the ridge through which
the tunnel passes is about 600 feet above the level of the
railway, consequently the shafts will be of considerable depth.
These shafts, five in number, are all of them in progress,
and the engines and pumping apparatus complete to each.
A great quantity of water has been encountered in some of
the shafts, which has impeded their advancement; but side'
drifts are now being made, so that the water may run off at
a lower level, and this will save much expense in pumping.
The open cutting at the east end has been excavated up to
the face of the tunnel, sufficiently wide for one line of rails,
and the driftways are completed for the distance of eighty
yards. These driftways and shafts have all been contracted
for at fixed prices.

The diversion of the river Dun has been completed, and
the bridge over the Etherow, which is crossed by the railway
at the western end of the tunnel, is under execution.
I have thus endeavoured to lay before you a statement of
the present position of the works, and, in conclusion, I beg
to assure you, that no exertions shall be spared to urge them
forward with vigour, and at the same time to insure their
stability. I am, geutiemen, your obedient servant.
