E. D. DAVENPORT.

At a meeting of propiietorslnApril last, the directors,
deeming it their duty on the first occasion that offered to sub-
mit the undertaking to a searching inquiry, entered at length
into a hiStory of the company, its objects, its then condition,
and its prospects. On this occasion their duty will be limited
to a summary of the more important facts and proceedings
which have since tran,pired ; and they are happy to intimate
that their report, though more brief than its predecessor, will,
as they hope and believe, be quite satisfactory to the propri-
etors.

THE LINE FROM MANCHESTER TO STOCKPORT.
The directors stated in their former report that the plans
for the line from Manchester to Stockport were in an ad-
vanced state, and were expected to be ready for the contrac-
tors in six weeks from that period. , They further stated that
in the opinion of the engineer this portion of the line might
be completed in two years from the letting of the works.
The plans in question, which cOmprise,the entire line be-
tween the two towns, excepting that part of it which passes
from Store-street to Fairfield-street, were completed by the
time named, and on the 19th May last, tenders for the execu-
tion of the works were advertised for in the usual way. The
contracts, four in number, have since been let, and the direc-
tors are happy to say, in every instance, to respectable and
responsible contractors, who have entered' into engagements,
under which the line connecting Manchester to Stockport is
to be completed and prepared for the public in May, 1810.
There are two cheering circumstances to be communicated
in reference to this portion of the railway. The one is, that
by a variation of section effected without detriment to the line
in an engineering point of view, ,and assented to wherever
necessary under the act of the landowners interest( d a saving
will be secured in the construction,'of £50,090, in addition to
which the further result has been attained, that the period for
completion of the works will be brought within a limit of time
less, as the directors are advised, by upwards of a year, than
the period necessary to execute the line according to the Par-
liamentary section.

The other circumstance to be referred to is, that the con-
tracts have been let within the estimates, and thus whilst the
cost of construction has in the first place been diminished by
the change of section, a saving has seCondly been effected in
the cost at which the line has been undertaken as compared
with the cost at which its construction was estimated!.

PURCHASES OF LAND AND POSSESSION BY CoNTRACTORS,
'I he purchases of land upon the Hue are proceeding upon
the whole satisfactorily. The directors do not disguise that
they have had many difficulties to contend with in this depart-
tnent of their duty, owing to the large desnands wide upon
them by certain luoilowners, and to ciaitns arising out of other
circumstances, but they are happy to be able to state that
those difficulties are being rapidly ovet come. It is but just
to the landed proprietors as a body to add, that in rely many
instances the overtures of the company have been met in a
spirit of fair'ness and candour; and the directors take this np-
poitimit) of avowing their anxious wish to cultivate the best
understanding itith the landowners whom the railway may
affect, and of meeting their viexs to the utmost extent coot-
patide with the paraumunt claims of the country.
The contractors hate been severally pot io,il possession or
such part of the laud as was immediately needful to them,
and the works upon the hoe are now actively commenced.

The directors 'Atli make it their special care to atit.icipate
the Wanly of the contractors with eitard to the possession of
the remaining' land comp' ised in their respective contracts,
so that no 'instruction may occur to the satisfactory prosecu-
tion and trink completion or the railway io this important
district.
