DEAFNESS CURED

/ RS. GARDNER, AURIST, from London, has the ho-
nour respectfully to announce her arrival in Liverpool,
on her Seventh Annual Professional Visit, and may be con-
sulted on All Disorders of the Ear, at 75, Renshaw-street.

The success which has attended her 'prldtice during the
fast fourteen years, in various parts of th nited Kingdom
and on the Continent, having, by its in .cence and efficacy,
insured her the confidence of the p • and the patronage
of the Faculty (as attested by certi es both oral and do-
cumentary), any further comment , her part is unnecessary,
and she merely begs it to be borne in mind that, in cases
beyond the reach of art, her opinion may be obtained (per-
sonally) without the usual fee.

The late Dr. G.'s Treatise on the Anatomy, Physiology,
and Diseases of the Ear, may be had at her residence, as
usual.

Certificates from the Face
From the opportunities 1 have had of witnessing Mrs.
Gardner's treatment of Deafness, added to the communica-
tions that have been made to me by others of the faculty, I
have no hesitation in recommending that lady to all who
may require her advice and assistance. _ _

Case of Deafness Cured of Forty rears' Standing.
Having had frequent opportunities of witnessing the supe-
riority of Mrs. Gardner's treatment in patients that have
been placed under her care, both by myself and other mem-
ber of the faculty, I can with confidence recommend her to
all who labour under Deafness, or other Disorders of the
Aural Organs, and should be wanting in justice to this highly-
talented lady, were I not to certify the cure of .1. Goslett,
Esq., No. 1, Old Merrion. This gentleman, having been
deaf for forty years, was pronounced incurable by more than
one eminent Aurist, and being now completely restored to
his hearing by Mrs. Gardner, has permitted me thus publicly
to announce it for the benefit of others.

J. W. GRAVES, M.D.
East London Eye and Ear Institution,
40, VVellelose-square, 19th Sept., 1838.
Mrs. Gardner's successful mode of treating Deafness ap-
pears to me to depend as much on its mildness and innocence,
as on the speed with which its benefits are imparted to the
sufferer, and the simple fact of nine persons being cured out
of elven that I had recommended to her, needs no farther
comment. W. PRICE, Surgeon and Accoucheur.

J. PARKER, Chairman

To the Directors of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and
Manchester Railway Company.
Gentlemen,—lt again becomes my duty, for the informa-
tion of the shareholders, to lay before you a report of the
progress of the works since the last general meeting of the
propKietory

. .
No. 1, OR ARDWICK CONTRACT.-ThC principal work
here is the enbankment ; 118,000 cubic yards of earth have
been put in during the last six months, and it requires now
about 20,000 cubic yards to complete it. The permanent
road is laid 20 chains east of the junction with the Manches-
ter and Birmingham Railway, for a distance of two miles
and 30 chains. The masonry on this contract is nearly
finished, the two last bridges being in hand, and the re-
mainder completed with the exception of a few parapets.
The spoil cutting at " Trail Dogs" will be finished in a short
time—only a few thousand cubic yards are now remaining,
which will spej,Aily be put out by the large force at present
employed their. The favourable nature of the strata in this
cutting has proved highly advantageous in the working a bed
of sand and gravel, suitable for ballast, running nearly the
whole length in the bottom, so that the permanent road will
be laid upon it so soon as the superstratum of marl shall
have been removed.

No. 2, OR NEWTON CONTRACT.—A considerable length
of the permanent road has been laid on this contract, amount-
ing altogether to nearly two miles, so that only L miles re-
main to be completed. The whole of the masonry, including
the viaduct over the river Tame, is completed, a few of the
parapets only excepted, which will soon be 'placed out of
hand. About 10,000 cubic yards of earth is reqßired to com-
plete the Tame Valley embankment, which quantity will
bring it home to the viaduct. The material is being sup-
plied from the Newton Wood cutting.
No. 3, OR HATTERSLEY CONTRACT.—The whole of the
masonry, with the exception of the tunnel at Hattersley,
and the Harewood viaduct, is finished, and the earthwork in
a very forward state. Owing to a quantity of water being met
with at Hattersley, the tunnel there has not progressed very
rapidly : the contractor, however, has proposed to extend
the open cutting, and thus to shorten the tunnel, a proposi-
tion to which there seems no reason to object. The retaining
walls opposite to Harewood Lodge are finished, and the via-
duct there has been commenced.
No. 4, OR ETHEROW VIADUCT.—The difficulties thrown
in our way by the lessee of the land are now surmounted,
and the matter settled. The viaduct, consisting of stone
piers and timber arches—the centre one being 150 feet span—
has been let to Messrs. Smith and Hattersley, who will lose
no time in carrying the work actively into execution.

No. 5, OR GAM ESLEY CONTRACT.—The twO...embank-
ments at each end are steadily progressing, and there now
remain about 100,000 cubic yards in the cutting. The bridge
for carrying the railway over the Botany Road is finished,
and that for carrying the Gamesley Turnpike Road over the
railway is in hand ; the piers being all up to the springing
level, and the arches in the course of erection.
SUMMIT TUNNEL.—The driftways at the western face are
now 600 yards from the entrance ; and those at the eastern
face, about 380 yards. The total depth of all the shafts was
855 yards, of which 626 have been completed, leaving 229
still to sink. The quantity of water, at one period of the
year, rendered it advisable to increase the size of the boilers
at three of the shafts. A. sufficient amount of additional
power has thus been obtained, which will enable the shafts
to be carried down to the bottom without delay.
In conclusion, I have to observe, that as it is your wish to

open the line from Manchester to the Mottram and Hyde
Road as soon as possible, I think it may be accomplished in
October next, should favourable weather prevail. We have
certainly been delayed more than a month with this portion
of the works, by the late wet season, and the unfortunate
disagreements between the different classes of men employed
on the line, which, at one time brought the works to a
stand ; but I am happy to state that we are now steadily
progressing. .

Arrangements are making to prepare accommodation at
the different passenger stations, for the amount of traff►c
that may be expected upon the line.-1 am, gentlemen, your
obedient servant,
Dinting Vale, August 21, 1841. ALFRED S. JEE.
