TO THE SUBSCHIBERS OF THE PROPOSED I SHIP CANAL. T.his great ondertaking, to which we are pledged, lor the formation Of a Canal, navigable for shipping, from the E.iglish Channel across to the Bristol Channel,, is now advancing to m 4tm ity ; and we, the Subscribers, are called upon ul sign the contract, preparatory to the introduction of the pending Bill into the House of Lords. That the opinion and the feelings of the country are decidedly with us, in favour of this measure, is qui . e certain s indeed, it may be ,said that there l: no opposition to it worthy of the name. There Appears, moreover, to have been no want of talent or energy in the Committee of Management whom we appointed and the Professional Persons employed on the crecaion seem to have performed their duties faithfully and zealously. The - undertaking, therefore, can now be imi eded or frustrated er4 by the supineness, or by the falliraa aw ay at its supporters. It is on the Subscribers, collectively and individually, that the maturity of the measure, and the consummation of this great work, wholly and solly depend. I was and all fully aware, in common with every other.unprejudiced person, that the proposed Canal will be of immense benefit to the nation, and highly cre ditable' to be age in which it is to be perfected. I feel too, as sen-ibls as another, that to be all.ed to such an undevtaking as this is, reflects 4 certain degree of credit,' and is a kind r , f honourable distinction, when con trasted with many, I may say with most o f the schemes and projects of the day. Still, although I have all seen and felt ail this, I yet, as a Subscriber for a . er tai number of shares, did nevertheless wish, before I signed 'the contra t, and bound myself, my heirs, and assigns, rto the actual Idea 'lc, of a ape ific sum of money, to be well assured twat I acted wisely, in a "pre& and loss" pint of view, by so doing. It was to this point, that I (felt it to be a duty which I owed t s myself, closely to aliiect my inqtyries ; and having fully satisfied my mind in .his particular, I now, in good faith, and with perfect candour, beg to explain to my fellow Sub scribers, the seasons hich have influenced me to sign the contract for my full numb rof shares, instead of withholding my signature, and thereby foifeiting my deposit of IL per'share on the whole or • any part of them. The points of inquiry which I proposed to myself, were these: First—ls there a reasonable' prospect that the Revenue to arise from the Canal, when it is completed,will yield an adequate return on the Capital employed in it. formation? Second—ls the Revenue so to arise from the Canal, likely to lie iffected or interrupted by any contingent event in the hereafter? Tbitd—Are the parties - who have embarked with me in this great sindertaking, of character, station, and respectability fitting them for the task; and are they suds as I can with confidence associate myself with ? Fourth—Will the work be completed within a reasonable space d time, so that I may look forward to the receipt of an income from it," before I go hence and be no more seen?" These questions appeared to embrace everything essential towards enabling. me to decide aright; and they are, I still presume to think. well deserving the attention of every subscriber. I will, therefore, here in , tent the answers which I obtained to them severally in the c•Ause of my investigatinits. In answer to the first enquiry, I must observe, thatafter a careful examination of the two Reports which have-been publiihol under the correction of our Com mittee, and with the sanction of two General Meetings of Subscribers, and after reading likewise all that has been written on the adverse side, I arrived at the firmest conviction, that within a very few years after the com pletion of the Canal, the revenue will equal, if it does not exceed, what Captain Nicholls has estimated it at is his first Report, that is, 210,8461. or about 13 per cent. on the capital employed. I do not found this opii,ion altogether on the statements contained in these Deports, fa- I have been at great pains to make en quiries among competent persons, in Wales and other pails of the Kingdom, as well as in London, and the result of the whole is a full persuasion, in my mind, that the revenue will very soon arrive at, and in the end will greatly exceed, the sum at which it has been estimated ; it being quite certain that Captain Nicholls has, in several instances, taken his quantities at too low an average. The answer to the second very important question is sufficiently obvious. No event can hereafter materially afect the Revenue of the Canal, excepting it be the breaking out of a war ; and this contingency, however injurious it might prove to other interests, would as suredly benefit the Canal, by compelling every vessel that could do so, to pass through it. Indeed, without such a communication across the Peninsula of Somerset, I do not see hots it will be possible to prctect our Trade along the Western Coasts, in case of a war with Fiance, if the enemy shall apply the power of steam to his pti /meets and cruisers, es he most probably will do. Much might be said on this point, which is really One of great political importance, and well deserves the early sad serious attention of our enlightened Government. • I sought for an' answer to the third question, by examining the list of sllscribers very minutely, and I fled it filled with names of the very first respectability. These are not confined to commercial' men or capitalists *lone, nor to residents in the metropolis ; but the list comprises persons in all parts of the Kingdom. and of every profession and occupation—Clergy, Lawyers,' Medical Men, Merchants, Ship-owners, Manufacturers, Country Gentle men : in short,every variety ofdesignation. This is just such a list as it must be desirable to form. for the accomplishment of such an undertaking as the Ship Canal, which is calculated to benefit all, by pro. meting property from shipwreck, and preserving the lives of our fellow-creatures : and it h such a list too, as for character, wealth, and respectability, I believe I may add, no other association at its untset could pro duce a parallel to. As regards the lad question, to which a good deal of . attention has beendirected, and on which I find a great diversity of opinion has prevailed among the sttbscriberi amerally, and about whit h, I must confess I myself did teal considerable d, übts, I•endeavoured to procure information by enquiries among persons conversidt with the situations of the proposed harbours, and with the particular lase of country through which the Canal 4 to pass ; and also by consulting several prOfes•ional %en of talent and high tespectability. The result has 1 b leartu me atleast, perfectly satisfactory. I and that , ow. , " • • Ass.ilftleibiako 0( those *hi STRAIN' steirepablib if; Tina: an acct rata, judgiswat, that "he, whale mist be completed, and the Canal *mod for . the passage of vessels, in Ampere front' Its OillOlDOOCelbent ; but to do this. would require more than ordinary exertion.' The utmost limit 4 tints which either easiness or the operatiie pertons'ealployed under them, seemed ' io coo-, template, wasiveyeere ; but this was rather spoken of as a period for covering possible coatiageocies, than as likely -to be required ' , within the fait ratige - of bility—in 'host, I arrived at the conclusion, that we might safely and confidently reckon on the completion of the Canal, withinfootipers after its cottimenchrnent. Foy. years, however c would certainly be a long timb to be left Without any return on our capital embarked in th:ri undertaking t but.it must not be forgotten; that the wipe of our advaniei are not to be made foi that period—the instalments will be called for, I presume, either monthly .or quarterly. and the piyrnents will , consequently be in progress at stated intervals through-, out the whole four years; so that, in fact , we.. may reckon that we Asa be only two years in advance, be fore we begin to receive a remits; and if our patience shall become exhausted before that time arrives, I have no doubt but that oar shares will readily find pur chasers, and that at a premium too, as the th ng be comes biter known, and its merits ate more fully appreciated. In the course of my enquiries on this subject, I find that it is intended to begin 'immediately with the two Harbours at either extremity, and from them ur proceed in excavating the Canal towards the interior; so that,. probably, in less than a couple of years, veisels will be able to use the harbours, and a traffic will he established along such parts of the Canal as ate completed, as it advances; for Bridgewater, Taunton, Chard, and other towns on the line, will no doubt severally take advan tage of the opening. so soon as it ismas , e. This w ill, at le ist ; yield something, it not a very cintsidei able return ; and will prepare the way for more effective i.p, rations hereafter. I have thus detalei the information which I ohained, after a very minute enquiry, on the sev.,ral points to which I thought it right to direct my atttlltion he or. l• signed the Contract. The information wh ch I this acquired was quite satisfactory to my own mind, anti fully met every doubt or difficulty which had been startel by the feat interested opponents of this great national measure ; and it is with the hope that it may' prove equally satisfactory to the other Subscribers, that it has been now drawn up, and here submitted to their notice by one of their own b_ dy.
