To the _Directors of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and
:Manchester Railway Company.
Gentlemen,—l beg to submit to you the following report
of the state of the works now in operation :

No. 1, OR ARDIVICK. CONTRACT.
The long embankment at the commencement of this con-
tract is going on well ; locomotive power being now employed
to transport the earth for its formation. The brick retaining
walls are completed, and the occupation bridges are in an
advanced state from the Pottery-lane to the Stockport canal.
The aqueduct which passes the railway under this canal is
finished, and a single line of permanent road is laid for three-
quarters of a mile in length from this point. A considerable
quantity of spoil cutting has been disposed of west of "Trail
Dogs."

No. 2, OR NEWTON CONTRACT.
A length of half a mile at the westerly cnd of this contract
has been formes.' ready to receive the ballast for the permanent
way. The only work of consequence on this portion of the
line is the Tame valley embankment, which is being carried
forward from each end, a temporary bridge having been
erected over the Peak Forrest canal to avoid the stoppage
which would otherwise have taken place until the Permanent
bridge was finished. The masonry on this contract is in a
very advanced state. Nearly a mile has been formed and
balasted at Duckinfield, for the permanent road, which will
very shortly be laid at that place.
So. 3, OR HATTERSLEY CONTRACT.

A good deal of work has been executed on this length since
my last report. The viaduct at Mr. Turner's is ready for
receiving the centres, the piers being all up to the springing
level. The arches across the turnpike road at Godley are
finished, and the embankment at that place is in active pro-
gress. The spoil cutting at Hattersley presents an animated
picture from the number of men employed there. The Hat-
tersley tunnel, from the large quantity of water and quick-
sand has only been worked from one shaft.
A side drift is, however, in progress, which will remove
this difficulty, and we will shortly be enabled to advance here
more rapidly. The retaining walls opposite to Harewood
Lodge are also in progress.
No. 4, OR. ETHEKOW VIADUCT.
Since my last report this viaduct has been let to Messrs.
Henry and Co., and consisted of four stone arches. In con-
sequence of the opposition of the lessee of the land upon
which one of the piers was to have been placed, it is thought
probable that the design of this bridge may be altered to one
which will span across the ground in dispute. If this be the
case a timber structure upon stone piers will be the cheapest
and most expeditious mode of obviating tbe'difficulty—no
time will be lost itkgetting_this matter settled.

No. 5, OR GS MELY CONTRACT.
The embankments at each end are going on favourably
from the cutting in the centre. This is a short contract and
almost entirely earthwork.

SUMMIT TUNNEL.
The works at the summit are now in a much more favour-
able position than they have been. In the western driftways
a bed of shale has been entered upon, and it is expected to
continue for some distance.

No. 1 shaft has been delayed in consequence of an accident
which happened to the engine'there. It has at length, how-
ever, been put right, and the sinking recommenced. We
have been much delayed by water at nil the other shafts, but
they are nevertheless steadily progressing, every precaution
having been taken to keep out the various springs. The
eastern driftways in consequence of the rock being more open
are advancing rapidly.
In conclusion, I have much pleasure in stating that the
works are going on very satisfactorily, and that much acti-
vity is displayed on all the contracts. I am, gentlemen, your
obedient servant,
ALFRED S. JEE.
