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

?Manchester Railway Company.

Gentlemen,—l beg to submit to you the I'oRowing report
of the state of the works now in operation :
No. 1, OR ARDWICK 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."

SHEFFIELD, ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, AND MAN-

CHESTER RAILWAY.
REPORT TO THE GENERAL MEETING
17th February, 1841.
. _

DURING the time which has elapsed since the General
Meeting in August, the Directors have been actively
engaged in forwarding the execution of the works then an-
nounced as contracted for, which, with the EtherowViaduct,
now also under contract, completes the letting to Glossop.
Although extending over only eleven miles .on the rails,
these works contain more than one-half 40 tike earthwork of
the whole line, and the contractors are ,tfoceeding rapidly
with them, for the purpose of opening al ou t eight miles to
the crossing of the Hyde and Mottram Turnpike Road in
September next, (which will accommodate the traffic of
Mottram, Godley, Hyde, Newton, Dukinfield, Stalybridge,
and Ashton,) and the remainder of the line to Glossop in
the spring of 1842. The tunnel works are steadily and satis-
factorily progressing, details of which, and of the state of
the whole of the works under contract, will be found in the
Report of the Engineer.

The directors being anxious to give full information to the
shareholders upon all matters connected with this underta-
king, have caused an account to be taken by competent per-
sons of the present traffic between Manchester and Glossop,
and the intermediate places, and, after careful revision, they
have much pleasure in laying an abstract of it before the
meeting. In this statement they have excluded all traffic of
a doubtful character, such as the goods traffic of Ashton,
Staleybridge, Dukinfield, Godley, Newton, Hyde, and Shef-
field, the greater portion, if not the whole, of which must
ultimately come upon the line.
On the 31st of December, 1840, the outlay amounted to
£168,077 13s. fild., as shewn in the annexed abstract of ac-
counts. For the completion of the contracts to Glossop,
tunnel works, management, payment for the purchase of
land, the Manchester station, and all incidental expenses, a
further sum of £318,020 is estimated to be required ' • making
the total outlay on the Ist of May, 1842, £486,007 13s. find.
From that part of the line from Manchester to Glossop, then
ready for opening, a net annual income of £31,914 2s. 4d.
may be safely calculated upon, which will yield a profit of
61 per cent. per annum upon the whole expenditure then
incurred ; and it must not be forgotten that in this sum is
included nearly £lBO,OOO paid on account, and forming a
part of the estim ited cost of the whole line.

The directors have frequently discussed the question of
commencing the aastern division of the line. They are con-
vinced that a ry large thorough traffic would be com-
manded by t., impletion of the works on both sides of the
tunnel, and. .1 that was opened, running coaches over the
Summit Ri:; but the contracts already entered into have
absorbed, a squired even more, than the whole of their
available fu.

The direct(' :;annot omit to congratulate the shareholders
upon the succ, ,ful termination of the legal proceedings, by
the decision of the Court of Exchequer, in favour of the
company upon nil the points raised at the trial of the actions
at the Liverpool Assizes. There is little doubt that many
wealthy shareholders, not parties to those actions, held back
the amount due from them awaiting their decision. This,
combined with the large amount owing by the parties against
whom actions had been brought, and the commercial de-
pression of the country, compelled the directors to exact
from the shareholders who had the means, and the inclina-
tion to pay, frequent and heavy calls ; and they assure those
shareholders that they did this with great reluctance, and
that prompt and vigorous measures will now be adopted for
obtaining payment of all recoverable arrears.
Desirous of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the proprie-
tary, the directors have carefully examined the share list,
and concluded to recommend for forfeiture 219 shares, upon
which an average of 1:9 14s. lid. per share has been paid.
To the holders of these shares the requisite notices-have been
given, and it remains with the meeting to determine upon
confirming their forfeiture.
The investigation of the share list is a work of considerable

,ime and labour ; but the directors feel confident than when

it is effectually weeded there will remain a sound and re-
sponsible proprietary, fully equal to carry so large a portion
of the line into profitable operation, as will enable the com-
pany to avail itself of the clause in its act of parliament which
empowers it to obtain money on loan, and thus afford relief
to the shareholders in the payment of future calls ; and that
eventually the doubtful shares will get into such hands as
will ensure the successful completion of this great national
undertaking.

TO THE SUBSRIBERS TO THE LIVERPOOL

DISPENSARIES.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
FINDING, at the commencement of my Personal Can-
vass, that, in the absence of a early knowledge of my
intention to become a Candidate, the greater part of my
numerous friends had either almost pledged themselves to
neutrality or promised their votes, I consider it more gracious
to the remaining Candidates, more respectful to you, and
certainly more in accordance with my own feelings, to at
once announce that, under the circumstances named, I
RETIRE from the contest.

To those friends, therefore, who have favoured me with
ieir proxies, or promises, and, indeed, to all whom I have had
m pleasure of meeting during my canvass, I return my best
tanks for their kindness towards rue, and remain,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
H. J. CAUTY, Surgeon.

MILK PUNCH ROYAL !

MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER

MAJESTY

THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.

was at the former place where the original projector of this
!lectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
Lek approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVEILY,

by presenting to him the freedcom of the4own; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR

s now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
,on vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
heir 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
savour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne;
and while

THE LORDS OF THE CREATION:
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,

but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of
PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS

take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by age._
