M. 13r4LLER CLIFTON. PROPOSED SHIP CANAL from the ENGLISH to the BRISTOL CHANNEL. AT a Numerous and Respectable MEETING of LANDOWNERS, MERCHANTS, BANKERS, and Others, held the 9th Day of June ' 1824, at the LONDON TEVERN, Bishopsgate-Street, Sir THOMAS B. LETH BRIDGE, Bart., M.P., in the Chair, Resolved unanimously, That it is the opinion of this Meet ing that a Junction of the English and Bristol Channels, by means of a Ship Canal, will be of essential Advantage to the Commercial Interests of the Country, and, at the same time, promises an ample Remuneration for the Expence of its execution. _ _ That the Capital.of the Company be for the present limited to One Million, and the same be divided into Shares of 1001. each. That a Subscription be now entered into, and that the Books , he afterwards left at the Banking-House of Messrs. Bosanquet and Company, Lombard-street ; -for the purpose of receiving future Subscriptions, and that ii Deposit of 11. be paid upon each Share at the time of subscribing. That the Subscription-Book be headed as follows, viz. : "We whose Names are hereunto subscribed, authorize the application of the several Sums subscribed by us, in defraying the Expences already incurred, and to be incurred, in the Surveys, Plans, Engineering Estimates, and other Charges necessary for preparing to apply to Parliament for an Act for Making a Ship Canal from the Lnglish to the Bristol Channel, and the further Expences to be incurred in such application to Parliament ; and that in case we shall decline to take the Shares . set opposite to our respective Names, the residue of the Deposit now paid by us shall be forfeited to the Company. That whenever One Thousand Shares shall be subscribed for, Mr. Telford be employed to Survey and Report his Opinion upon the best Line and probable Expence of a Ship- Canal from the Bristol to the English Channel at Seaton Bay, capable of navigating Vessels of all descriptions, of 12# tons kid. of 200 Urns burthen, Register measurement.

That when the Survey shall be 'complete, and Mr. Telford's Report delivered, the Committee, now appointed, do call a General Meeting of the Subscribers, in order that the same may be considered; and that such General Meeting may then adopt such ulterior measures as may then appear proper. That the Books do remain open till the 30th day of Julie instant. That the Resolutions of this day be inserted in such News epers, in town and country, as the Committee shall think fit. THOMAS B. LETHBRIDGE, Chairman. Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this Meeting be -even to Sir Thotnas B. Lethbridge, for his able and impartial conduct in the Chair. At a Meeting of the Committee, held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern on Saturday, the 12th June instant, the following Statement was agreed to be published : The Committee beg to submit for the information of the Public a short Statement, founded upon the best data which they have been able to collect from the most authentic sources of information, for the purpose of exhibiting the probable re turns to the Proprietors upon the execution of the Canal, and Which will clearly demonstrate that a most ample remunera tion cannot fail to result to those who embark their capital in the undertaking. The length of the Canal, according to the •fdan laid down by the late Mr. Rennie, was 41 miles, and it la not probable that any variation of the line, in consequence of the Survey about to be made by Mr. Telford, can make a Material alteration in that respect. Taking also Mr. Rennie's estimate as a basis, and adverting to the difference of prices, andto the proposal to substitute a Canal for Ships of 200 tons, instead, of 120 tons, as formerly suggested, the exp ence o f th e execution of the anal is estimated at about 1,200,0001., upon calculation which the Committee believe to be not only fully adequate to meet all exigences, but to be made upon a liberal Scale • the charges of Wear and Tear, Repairs, Management, and other Incidents, when the Canal shall be complete, are taken at 1,0001. per mile per annum, making an annual expen diture of about 42,0001. From local and other information collected at various times and at several periods, and particularly when a Boat Canal was in agitation in the year 1822, the Committee are of opinion that this amount would be more than provided for by the Ton nage upon Lime, Lime -stone, Culm, Stone, Bricks, Tiles, and 4lretteral Alerchatdize for the internal trade which will be car tied on by means of the Canal. The annual expenditure being thus provided for, there will remain for the benefit of the Sub scribers the amount founded upon the following estimate.- -From Returns made to the House of Commons in the present Session, upon the motion of Sir T. B. Lethbridge, it appears that the amount of Tonnage which passed round the Land's Xnd in 1823 was 1,030,430 tons, of which it further appears, that had the Canal existed, 554,000 to ns wou ld a lmost of neces sity have passed through the Canal, and probably great part of the residue from interest, convenience, or other causes. From local and other information collected in the Southern Nets of England, it appears that there was a consumption of Coals in 1811, amounting to 1,400,001) tons per annum, which has since considerably increased, but of which the Committee are satisfied with assuming that only 600,000 tons will pass the Canal. Besides these, the tonnage upon Copper, Iron, and sundries, not otherwise included, may be taken on a moderate kale at 100,000 tons. From these sources a tonnage of 1,154,000 tons would use the Canal, which, at ld. per ton per mile, upon the average, Would produce an Annual Revenue of 201,9501., applicable to Dividend among the Proprietors, and amounting to above 16i Per cent. The charge of one penny pez ton per mile would fall so far y 'hart of the expendit ure n ec essary in navigating round the !hand's End, as to make it a matter of certainty that the Canal :liould be preferred. In these remarks the Committee contemplate that the Country tfl in a state of peace ; but it is obvious, that should war at any tale take place, the traffic upon the Canal would be increased a very considerpble degree. LLOYD'S, MAY 18, 1824. AT a very Numerous MEETING of the SUBSCRIBERS, held this day, BENJAMIN ..SHA W, Esi.'in the Chair, The Notice for the Meeting, of which the following is an Extract, was read : " Lloyd's, May 12, 1824. " At the Meeting of . the Committee:— "The House of Commons having ordered the Report pre sented on the 17th of April, 1810, on Marine Instirance, to be re-printed ; and a notice given by Mr. Fowell Buxton, of his intention to move on Monday next, for a Committee of the House, on the Act of 6 Geo. I. cap. 18, which restricts part nerships and societies front insuring ships and goods, and from lending Money upon bo:toinry." " Resolved—That a General Meeting of the Subscribers be held on Tuesday next, the 18 `h instant, at 12 o'clock pre cisely, for the purpose of considering what measures it may be necessary to take in consequence Mereof. The,following Resolutions were carried unanimously :- 1. That it appears to this Meeting.; that it will be highly de trimental to the interests of this house and the public in gene ral, and ruinous to numerous individ: ials who have made, &uranc'da their sole business; and by whose talent, experience, and in&istry, together with those of th,ir predecessors, during a period of more than 100 years, the system of underwriting lia been fostered and improved beyond Oat of any other coun try,' joint stock companies or partnerships be now authorised to effete marine insurance. 2. Tiat, in the opinion of this Meeting', the formation of Joint Stiet z Companies for the purpose of e:ffecting that.which can and has been done advantageously by individuals, would be to create so many monopolies in different b ranches of corn merce, be an inliingement of the general rights of the public, operate as an injunqus restraint upan individual' , exertion and competition, and destructive of that system which has produced so much benefit to the commercial world in genera'. 3. That a Special Cotmnittee be appointed, who shall be, and are hereby authorised to prepare and present P.nitions to Parliament or his Majesty's Government, and gem...rally to adopt all such measures as they shall deem expedient Air the purpose of supporting the interets of this establishment ; and that all expences attending the same be defrayed out of the funds of this house. 4..

A,.LADY, the %Vidow of a Literary Gentle man, long connected with the Press, after having with difficulty ' brought up four children, with which she was left nearly seven years, is now, by unavoidable circumstances, re duced to such distress, as to compel her, though with great re luctance, to appeal to the Public, and to solicit that aid which can alone relieve her from embarrassment and her children from want.
