NEWARK AND SHEFFIELD RAILWAY

THE Committee of Management beg to announce to
1 the Shareholders, that they have every reason to be-
lieve the bill was defeated in committee by the production,
on the part of their opponents, of an alternative line, the
plan and section of which the promoters of the bill were
not allowed any opportunity of testing before the case was
closed; they have since done so, and ascertained the sec-
tion to be most incorrect; in fact, 20 chains longer than
it ought to have been, by which the gradients were of
course proportionably flat tened.
The discovery and proof of this error have not, how-
ever, been deemed of sufficient importance to warrant a
recommittal of the bill. _ _ _

—„—.....—.
The very general support which the Newark and Shef-
field line, with its extensions, has received, c mpled with
the strong recommendation from the board of trade on
public grounds, affords the best assurance that it must ob-
tain the sanction of the legislature in the next session of
parliament.
In the meantime,•a new and careful survey of the whole
line will be made by skilful engineers, and every requisite
means adopted, by such modifications of the original line
and additional extensions, a • will render the scheme as
perfect as possible, and secure the interests of the share-
holders.

An account of the expenses will be made up as soon as
possible, and the shareholders who wish to withdraw from
the undertaking are requested to give notice of their in-
tion to the Secretary before the Ist of August next. All
persons who do not give such iatima'ioa previous to that
date will be held as participating in the amended project.
By order,
JOHN DENNISTON, Secretary.

THE object of this Railway is to provide the best and
most direct communication between Stockport and
Warrington, and thence to Liverpool, which latter object
will be effected by means of this Railway in conjunction
with the extension of their line about to be made by the
Grand Junction Railway Company from Warrington.
At Stockport the line will communicate with the Man-
chester and Birmingham Railway and the Branch from
Stockport to Ashton, thtreby affording to the manufac-
turing population of Stockp.irt and its Vicinity, and to all
the densely populated district intersected by the Sheffield
and Manchester Railway, the most direct approach to
Liverpool.
There will be a Junction near Altrincham with the
Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway.
Arrangements have been made with the Board of the
St. Helen's Railway Company which will enhance the
value of the proposed line, and negotiations are in pro-
gress for giving to Chester and Birkenhead an excellent
communication.

The Grar.d Junction Railway Company have agreed to
provide a portion of the Capital, and to promote the furma-
tion of this line by every means in their power. _

The line will follow the Valley of the Mersey, and pre-
sents no engineering difficulties ; the gradients are ex-
tremely good; the works are unusually light; little or no
ornamental or valuable property will be interfered with,
and the project is strongly supported by local influence.:
