THE ACCOUNTS OF THE LATE COMPANIES.

En reference to these accounts it will be remembeted that
at the last meeting of the proprietors the directors stated that
they were not then able, owing to some disputed and un-
settled claim, to report the total sum expended. The
amounts, however, have since been ascertained, and the di-
rectors are happy to state that, instead of (as they had inti-
mated to the shareholders o❑ a former occasion was proba-
ble) resort being necessary to the funds of the company to
an extent. in addition to the deposit paid upon the shares, or
perhaps 10s. per share, the sum will not exceed one-half of
that amount.

The accounts of this company have been made up to the
31st July, and a statement of the receipts and expenditure
will be laid before the meeting.

THE EXTENSION RAILWAY.-TRENT LINE

This is a subject which, though it be somewhat informal to
introduce at this meeting, the directors cannot forbear al-
luding to. The interests of the proprietors of this company are
deeply identified with the success of the Trent line, and the
directors therefore have much pleasure in communicating
that the arrangements for the application to Varliament next
session to authorise the construction of the railway are pro-
gressing in every respect satisfactorily. The demonstration
of opinion in favour of the undertaking at a town's meeting
in Manchester has been followed by similar expressions con-
veyed in the form of a published ilearration from the in-
habitants of the various places upon and near to the pre-
posed railway. To those indeed who reside, or whose busi-
ness is carried on in the district of the Trent line, the open-
ing of the Grand Junction Railway has been a source of
great inconvenience, inasmuch as it has dept iced t hem almost
entirely of the different coaches which formerly traversed
that country, and has left them only occasional and uncert tin
means of conveyance. The landowners themselves largely
share in skis inconvenience, and hence the repugnance aittt
which many of them were wont to regard ens I ailway pass-
ing through or their estates has given place to a
feeling of acquiescence in, and-Lint unfrequently support of
such undertakings. The directors, in their communicatiens
with various of the landed proprietors, have found this
altered tone; and they entertain a sanguine expecrati,m that
by the time the parlia mental v session commences, they shah
have obtained a very general concurrence in their project.
Even when least favourably regarded by landowners the con-
struction of the railway is treated merely as a question of
time. The directors, however consider, and they hone that
the legislature will consider, the proper time to be the pre-
vent dime, and that no reason can be shown or exist whe, e-
fore the connexion of Manchester and of i.e ma nanctirring
hives around should be postponed for a season. Of this, at
all events, the meeting may rest assured, that the directors
of this company, whose sphere of duty attaches also to the
Extension Railway Company, will not, whilst sustained by
the confidence of the two birdies of shareholders, be weary
of or—relax in their exertions until they ha.re succeeded in
securing a l',,rliainentary sanction to the Trent line, and
have thus supplied the last link to the great chain of railway
communication from Miruchester to London.

• It is a, tnelanchnly fact, that thousands fall to the
Venereal Disease -wing to the unskilfulness of illiterate
men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin
the constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the
head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears,
deafness, obstinate fleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till
at length a general debility and decay of the constitution
ensues. and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread-
ful sufferini,s.

mass of fluids.• They not only remove the disease, but reno-
vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex-
pelling; the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild anti

cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the
slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of
diet, toss or time, or hindrance of business. but effect a coin
plete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any
period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well
to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before
the disease has made ifs appearance it acts as a certain pre-
ventative, by moving time complaint effectually and secretly.
Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu-

to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and
indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only
occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail
On its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but
weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of
imagination, judemeni, and memory, indifference and aver-
sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or
deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces-
sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of
the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and
speedy restiorati n to sound and vigorous health.
PERR Y'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for
the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms,
venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat,
diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and
glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and all
diseases arising from an impure state of time blood.
