That the propofed Canal is unneceffary, as the Corn nnnieation betiveen London, Portfmouth, Southampton, and Winchelter by Seals, in the opluionsif this. Meeting, better calculated to anfirer the purpofes both of Governinent and of individuals fur the fol lowing feafons, viz : Becaufe, fuppoling the advantages attending an intended com• ntunication over that by lea to be as great as the promoters of the Canal cuprite it Mould appear, that a lola of fo confiderable a part of Our Cusiting Trade and cunkquently of the ourfery of our feamen, efpeetally too st a moment when our foreign commerce prohibited throughout the world, wjil,rtiore than counterbalance any advantage which may be espeded from Coals, Articles of „. Commerce, and Naval Stores, being cockeyed in barges in pre- . • ferenie to Mips. Becaufe the propofed Canal muft be very frequently Mort of water, inafmuch is there Is already fo little water in the River . Way, on clot line of the propofed Canal between the Baangftake Costal and Alton; that.there is already !aria:ion to drive the MU on it in the fumnier months, which are now obliged to.eraafe `grinding on that account,.confequently there will beioo little water for the Canal. Beeatife the Line of the propofed Canal between Alton and Ropier is through a porous foil which will never hold water, in a Country where there is a great feareity of water already, fo +noel hi, that tbe,caule are obliged in dry fummers to be driven fi.nr or five miles for water, from the Parithes of EaR Tiftaif, Newton Valente, farringdon, ace. to Alton, and the water to fill the Canal for five mile! trim Akon to Rotherfieid, muff be taken from the River Wey. at Alton, where there is already too little water. Becaufe the Navigation of the Canal will be continually impeded by frott io eta winter months, during which feafon of the year alone can the inland carriage of public itore* be fuppofed to be mare advantageous to the public, than that by lea, coureqbently the benefits pretended to be held out ,to the public by the Canal, will prove to be falla•cioun - rev this Meeting is therefore of opinion that the prefent entrnui.ication by water coaftways, will be the molt certain, the molt sterol, generally the quickeft, and the molt te be de pended no. • TMs Meeting is atf6 of opinion that another material reafon why this Canal would not be of public utility is, that there is a hill between Rotherfteld Park and Lyderhill Farm, upwards of two miles broad, tvhert the Canal is not intended to be tut, and where the Proprietors propote to have an Iron Railway over the hill, to that perfons trading bn this Canal will be put to great trouble and loconeentence of twice loading and unloading .their goods at no vet) , trifling expence and rifk of damage and plunder, which will certainly prevent the Canal from being much sled, and from being of that publie and general utility which has bei:ti held forth to the Country. That this Meeting is of Optnion that a great numbef of Milk and a large quantity of dry and water Meadow Land,' fo oh 'loony and imperiuully neceffary to the agriculture ofthe country on the iutended line, will be deftroyed by this Canal. That this Meeting I. of opinion, that the Public would not be at all benefited by this Canal; whereas the extreme Iniury to nu merous individuals is certain ; and it appears that force any of the owners or occupiers of land upon the propofed line, have either • contented or fubfcribed to its completion, confequently that the Canal will be of a.very unneeeltary and cruel violation of pri iate Property, without any profped• of proportionate public benefit. That this Meeting is further of opinion, That the freeholds and propery of a great body of individuals ought not to be entered on and cut to piece. agalnft the content of the proprietors, merely to anfwer tbe .porpofes of gain of a few perfoos ; and on thrfe grounds this Meeting is determined to raft and oppufe the paling of the Bill for the propoled Canal by every lawful means.
