by Dr. YOUNG'S URETHRIC MIXTURE. The efficacy
of this Medicine in the above complaints has been long proved
by its unparalleled success in a practice of many years'
standing, and has induced the present Proprietor to make it
more: generally known. Its object is to supersede the neces-
sity of using the Bougie, which, from frequent use, makes
the passage more susceptible of disease, and frequently brings
on a confirmed case of Diseased Prostrate Gland ; it quickly
removes all Soreness, quiets Irritation, and allays the Inflam-
mation that invariably attends these painful Diseases.

A T the HALF-YEARLY MEETING of the PRO-
PRIETORS, held at the CUTLERS' HALL, Sheffield,
on the 31st of August, 1842 :
MICHAEL ELLISON, Esq., in the Chair,
It was resolved,
Moved by Mr. T. A. WARD ; seconded by Mr. J.
JOHNSON,
1. That the Directors' Report, together with that of the
Engineer, as now read to the meeting, be received and
adopted, and printed for circulation amongst the Sharehold-
ers.

[PRICE FIVEPENCE.

Having earefully revised the share list, the Directors have
reluctantly concluded to recommend 1,419 shares for forfei-
ture, and now submit the same to the proprietors for that
purpose ' • the preliminary business required by the act of par-
liament having been taken. The average amount paid on
these shares is £l6 9s. 51d. per share.
The Directors cannot conclude this report without assur-
ing the shareholders that as they have hitherto, under the
discouragement of adverse circumstances, used every exertion
to uphold this undertaking, and to carry it to a successful
issue, so they will, for the future, persevere in a like course,
entertaining most confident expectation that, supported by
the shareholders, and encouraged with their confidence, they
will be able, within a much shorter space of time than has
been calculated for them, secure the accomplishment of one
of the most important railway communications in the king-
dom yet remaining to be completed.

REPORT OF THE ENGINEER.
To the Directors of the Sheffield and Manchester Railway.
GENTLEMEN,—Since my last Report, read before the ge-
neral meeting of the Proprietors, the works in hand have
progressed very satisfactorily. .The double line of permanent
road has been completed from Manchester to Newton, and
that portion of the railway now open to the public has been
kept in a most efficient state of repair, and is in very good
order. Stations for the accommodation of the coal trade
have been built at Ardwick, Godley, and Newton, and a
siding has been laid down at the expense of the Dunkirk Coal
Company, connecting their colliery at Dewsnap with this
railway.

lIATTERSLEY CONTRACT.
This contract is nearly completed, and ready for the per-
manent road, with the exception of the tunnel at Hattersley,
which, owing to the extremely wet nature of the ground, and
the peculiarity of its formation, rendering it impossible to
drain it, except from one end, has been a work of unexpected
labour. lam happy to state, however. that great progress
has been made during the late fine weather, and I look with
confidence to having this part of the line ready for opening in
a short time. The Harewood Viaduct of 19 arches is nearly
completed, 18 of them being finished, and the last one in
hand.

ETHEROW VIADUCT.
One abutment is finished, and the other nearly so. The
shafts of the two piers are built to the height of 30 feet above
the level of the springing of the arches. The centres are
now up in the middle arch, and the arched ribs of timber

be proceeded with. Nearly the whole of the timber re-
quired for the viaduct is now on the ground. The progress
of this work has been highly satisfactory.

The driftways of No. 2 shaft are not yet commenced; the
men being engaged in forming a lodge for the water in the
bottom. Our progress, at the present time, averages about
80 yards per week ; but this will be increased when the drift-
ways are worked from Nos. 1 and 2 shafts, which we expect
to enter upon in a very short period. The water has very
materially decreased, so that we can now keep it down with-
out difficulty.
The line has been set out from Dinting Vale to the tunnel,
and the working plans, sections and specifications are now
ready, so that this part of the line will be let immediately.
A portion of the line at the Sheffield end has been let to
Messrs. Buxton and Clarke, and will be commenced upon
forthwith.

I have great pleasure in stating that our stock of engines
and carriages are in excellent order, and are working in a
very satisfactory manner.

to secure for it the approbation of the Faculty.

powers to construct such a railway. The Directors also
propose, should they meet with due encouragement, and
should they have the approval of the shareholders, to take
preliminary steps to form a company, and provide capital for
the: Barnsley junction, perfectly distinct from the present
undertaking, so that the opportunity may be afforded to
apply to parliament, during the next session, for powers to
carry out this object also..
The construction of the works between Manchester and
Glossop is going on in a most satisfactory manner ; and, not-
withstanding the delay that has arisen from the disturbed
state of the country during the last three weeks, the Direc-
tors hope they shall still be able to- open to Glossop during
the month of November. The works of the Summit Tun-
nel are also most successfully progressing, and the formida-
ble difficulties attending this portion of the undertaking may
now be regarded as conquered. Since the last half-yearly
meeting 1.195 yards of double drift-way have been formed;
which, in addition to what had previously been accomplished,
amounts to 3032 yards, leaving 2268 to be completed, which
the Directors have every reason to believe will be nearly, if
not wholly, driven by the annual meeting in February nest.
To afford as accurate information as passible regarding the
outlay upon this work, and to prevent misapprehension as to
its actual amount, the Directors think proper to add the fol-
lowing short statement :
Expended on Engines, Roads, Timber, Tem-
porary Rails, &c...........
Expended in the Erection and Fitting.up of
Cottages.

For a more detailed account of the works :upon the line,
the Directors refer the Shareholders to the subjoined report
of their engineer. They have, however, to state that they
have advertised for- tenders for the Dinting Viaduct and the
Longdendaie Contract, comprising the whole distance be-
tween the termination of the Gamesley Contract and the
Summit Tunnel; and that they have let to Messrs. Buxton
and Clarke, the Old Park Wood Contract ; which latter
measure, they are of opinion, will produce much satisfaction,
by enablin the coany to yield employment to a consi-
derable nugmber of able-bodied abple-bodied poor o Sheffield and the
neighbourhood, who, from the depressed condition of the
manufacturing interests of this kingdom, cannot find em-
ployment in their respective callings,—and at the same, time
convincing that shareholders that the Directors have no other
wish or intention than to complete the line in its perfect in-
tegrity.
It will be in the recollection of the shareholders that a
Special General Meeting of that body was held in January
last, when the Directors were authorised to apply to parlia-
ment for powers to facilitate the providing of funds for car-
rying on the works. Such application was made, and,
greatly to the surprise of the Directors, an opposition (insti-
gated, no doubt, by a party whom it is not necessary to par-
ticularize), was got up against it, which, however, had no
other effect than causing some additional expense to the
company. The Directors believe that this legislative mea-
sure has already been of considerable benefit, and would have
improved their position still more, by enabling them to bor-
row upon the security of the railway, its works and tolls,
such a sum as the company was empowered to raise, had
not the depressed condition of trade operated against it.
Having failed to provide this sum with sufficient rapidity,
and wishing to avoid any further pressure upon the share-
holders, the Directors determined to apply to Government
for their aid in procuring a loan from the Public Works
Loan Commissioners. Their application was favourably
received ; but considerable delay Arose before a decisive re-
ply could be obtained from the Commissioners. The Di-
rectors have, however, the satisfaction to announce, that
those gentlemen have consented to a loan of X 50,000, on cer-
tain conditions, which, in substance, ate—that the company
shall raise a like sum from their own resources, which, with the
amount of the loan, shall be expended in future works of the
railway during the next twelve months ; and that the extension
of the line to Glossop shall be complete in February next.
To these conditions the Directors have acceded ; and it is
hoped that the sum so granted will be advanced in the course
of a month. As, however, this sum, aided by the means
already possessed by the Directors, will not enable them to
complete the railway, it is their intention, with the sanction
of the proprietors, to apply to parliament, during the next
session, for powers authorising them to raise such additional
capital as may be requisite for that purpose, as well as to
obtain an extension of time for completion of the works.
Since the last half-yearly meeting John Rodgers, Esq.,
finding that his other engagements would not permit him to
give full attention to the affairs of this railway, has retired
from the direction ; and the seat at the board, thus become
vacant, has been filled by the appointment of Mr. William
Bradley, whose experience in railway concerns pointed him
out as eminently qualified for the situation of a Director of
this Company. _
