FAMILY BOTTLE.

MOXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN
APERIENT. The Magnesian havinglongsustained
the character of the very best Family Medicine, and many
individuals having experienced the advantages of a steady
perseverance in the use thereof, has induced the proprietor
to meet such demand by a larger bottle. The Family Bottle,
price Ils., (with a geound-glass stopper,) contains the quan-
tity of five of 2s. 9d. site, which is a saving of at least twenty
per cent. to the purchaser.
This mild, agreeable, and efficient purgative, is universally
approved and recommended by the faculty, as the best cor-
rective of disordered state of the stomach, head, and bowels,
and the safest remedy for gout, piles, fistula, gravel, &c. and
for obviating the injurious (Six's of the stronger drastic pur-
gatives: for this latter purpose it should be taken the morning
following. If frequently taken during the heat of summer
and autumn, no medicine is better calculated to prevent or
speedily remove those dangerous disorders cholera morhus,
dysentery, diarrhoea, and other troublesome affections of the
bowels.

Perusal of the following letter is particularly requested.:—
" To Mr. Moxon,—Dear sir, I urn quite out of your invalua-
ble medicine, the Magnesian Aperient: six months ago I
recomtnended it to a gentleman who had been a dreadful
sufferer from the gout, he informs me since he took it regu-
larly he has not had a single attack or even the slightest
symptom. Let me recommend you to impress upon the mind
of all sufferers from morbid sensibility of the stomach and
bowels, the necessity, the absolute necessity, of taking a tea-
spoonful of it regularly every morning; taken in the manner
I have described, it never interferes with the avocationsof the
day, and it invariably creates an elasticity of mind, and a flow
of spirits, which gives a zest to every enjoyment, besides it
enables the invalid to enjoy many of those luxuries with im-
punity, from which he must otherwise be debarred, and
without which life is irksome and distressing. The moment
I get out of bed I take a tea-spoonful of. your Panacea, win-
ter and summer, (during this severe storm 1 have never
omitted it,) and instead of producing any cold sensation in
the stomach, it invariably creates a genial flow, a pleasurable
warmth, and I go down stairs to breakfast with an appetite
that would do no discredit to a plough boy ; and I now enjoy
a state of health to which I have for years • been a stranger.
Will you have the kindness to send me a large bottle, packed
in a box, directed for me, Fleece Inn, Darlington.

An Effectual Cure of Rheumatism in Linculn.chire.
Forwarded by Mr. Jas. Drury,,of_Lincoln, near the Stonebow.

to Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London.
LINCOLN, March 23, 1838.—Sir,---.1 have the pleasure to
inform you of the following cure Rawson, of
Normanby, near Spittal, Lincoln, has been suffering a long
time with Rheumatism, his left hand and all up his arms
being useless from pain and swelling. Seeing Wail's Pills
advertised for Rheumatism, he applied to me to know if I
thought he would be relieved if he took the Pills. I recom-
mended him to try a box, he bought one, and came the next
week to say he felt much relieved, as the swelling of his hand
had gone nearly down : he however finished the box, and
bought a second, and came this day (March 23, 1838) to say
that he had taken the second box of Pills, and that he was
well, free from swelling, and able to use his hand as usual.
This. Sir, is not the only case of much benefit I have been
made acquainted with, received by taking BLAIR'S GOUT
AND RHEUMATIC PILLS; every week fresh cases of
cure and relief come before my notice. But Wm. Rawson,
feeling much gratitude from the relief he has received, begs
to inform you of the same, and hopes others may he induced
to try such a valuable medicine for Rheumatism or Gout.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

REPORT.

At a meeting of proprietors in April 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 impdrtant facts and proceedings
which have since transpired; and they are lulpiry 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, 1840.
There ase two cheering circumstances to be communicated
in reference to this portion of the railway. The one is, that
by a variatio❑ of section effected without detriment to the line
in an engineeting point of view, and assented to wherever
necessary under the act of the landowners interested, 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 OP LAND AND POSSESSION BY CONTRACTORS

The purchases of land upon the line are proce4ing-iiPon
the whole satisfactorily. The directors do not disguise that
they have had many difficulties to contend with in this depart-
ment of their duly, owing to the large demands made upon
them by certain landowners, and to claims arising out of other
circumstances, but they are happy to be able to state that
those difficulties are being rapidly overcome. It is but just
to the landed proprietors as a body to add, that in very many
instances the overtures of the company have been met in a
spirit of fairness and candour; and the directors take this op-
portunity of avowing their anxious wish to cultivate the best
understanding with the landowners whom the railway may
affect, and of meeting their views to the utmost extent com-
patible with the paramount claims of the country.
The contractors have been severally put into possession of
such part of the laud as was immediately needful to them,
and the works upon the line are now actively commenced.
The directors will make it. their special care to anticipate
the wants of the contractors with regard to the possession of
the remaining land comprised in their respective contracts,
so that no obstruction may occur to the satisfacto►y prosecu-
tion and timely completion of the railway in this important
district.

ENGINEs

In connexion with the opening of this part of the railway
the directors may mention, that they have effectually pro-
vided against any delay in the appropriation of line when com-
pleted to the public use, by arranging for an early and ade-
quate supply of locomotive power-.

THE LINE BiYOND STOCKPORT

With regard to the steps taken and in progress upon other
portions of the line, the directors have to report that upon the
main line between Stockport and Congleton surveyors are at
present at work, and that in about a fortnight the survey of
that part of the line will be completed.
That the designs of the Stockport and Congleton viaducts
are iu course of preparation, and that those works will shortly
be commenced; and that so soon as the survey of the line to
Congleton be completed, the engineer proposes to stake it
out, and afterwards to proceed with the line from Llarecastle
to the junction with the Grand Junction Railway.

CALLS.

The directors, in conformity to their expressed intention at
the last meeting, have made only one call, and that for the
sum of £3 per share, upon the proprietors, which call became
due on the 11th of August last, and is now in satisfactory
course of payment. In reference to the future, the directors
believe that one call of £3 per share will suffice for the pre-
sent year ; and there will at all times he an interval of at
least three mouths between every two calls, whilst the large
number of shares of which the company consists have the
effect of limiting each call to a moderate amount.
