THE ACCOUNTS 01, THI LATE COMPANIES.

In 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 on a former occasion seas 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-halt 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 th►s 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 hue, and the
directors therefore have much pleasure in communicating
that the arrangements for the application to Parliament 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 declaration from the in-
habitants of the various places upon and near to the pro-
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 deprived them almost
entirely of the different coaches which formerly traversed
that country, and has left them only occasional and uncertain
means of conveyance. The landowners themselves largely
share in this inconvenience, and hence the repugnance with
which many of them were wont to regard any railway pass-
ing through or approaching their estates has given place to a
feeling of acquiescence in, and not unfrequently support of
such undertakings. The directors, in their communications
with vat ious of the landed proprietors, have found this
altered tone; and they entertain a sanguine expectation that
by the time the parliamentary session commences, they shall
have obtained a very general concurrence in their project.
Evee when least favourably regarded by landowners the cull-
struction of the railway is heated merely as a question of
time. The directors, however consider, and they hope that
the legislature will consider, the proper time to be the pre-
vent time, and that no teason can be st own or exist whet e-
fore the connexion of Manchester awl of tie Manufacturing
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 bodies of shareholders, be weary
of pr relax in their exertions until they ham succeeded in
securing a PL:rliamentary sanction to the Trent line, and
have thus supplied the last link to the great chain of railway
communication from Manchester to London.

MESSRS. PERRY and Co., SURGEONS, may be
personally consulted from Nine in the Morning till
Ten at Night, and on Sundays from Nine till Two, at
No. 22, SLATER-STREET, near Duke-street, Liverpool,
(private entrance first door up the passage ;)
No. 2, Bale-street, Lower Mosley-street, near to St. Peter's
Church, 'Manchester, and No. 4, Great Charles-street, Bir-
mingham: of whom may be had (gratis) with each box of
pills their Treatise on Venereal Disease, Gonorrhoea, Meets,
and Stricture; including Practical Observations on Seminal
Weakness, arising from early abuses,so that all persons can
obtain an immediate Cure, with easOecrecy, and safety.
It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall xictims 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 gleets, and nodes on the shin hones, till
at length a general debility and decay of the constitution
ensues. and a melancholy death puts a period -to their dread-
ful sufferings.

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s.
9d. and Its. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re-
medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of
venereal diseases, gonorrhoea, glpets, strictures, semina-
weakness, in the loins,' affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum-
bago, local debility, irritation of .the bladder or urethra, and
other diseases of the urinary passages. fiequently performing
a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small
pill for a dose, with ease, secresy, and safety. The certainty
with which they are continually administered can be attested
by many thousands. Toe Specific Pills root out every parti-
cle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole
mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno-
vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex.
pelting the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and
imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto-
nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer-
cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the
slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of
diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but effect a corn
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 its appearance it acts as a certain pre-
ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue t 9 direct their stu-
dies 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, judgment, 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 restorati n to sound and vigorous health.
PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for
the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms,
venereal eruptions,- pains in the hones, 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 the blood.
Letters from the country, post-paid, containing a remittance
for medicine, will be immediately answered.
