PROSPECTUS of a Line of Navigation from Birmingham to London, commencing at the Stratford-on Avon Canal, in Warwickshire, and ending at the Regent's Canal, London. to be called " The LONDON and BIRMINGHAM CANAL NAVIGATION." The great and leading objects of the proposed undertaking are— Ist.—To effect the cheapest and most direct practicable Line of Water Communication between London and Birmingham, and the great Mining Districts of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Shropshire. 2d.—To obtain, by the communication it will open with the Regent, Stratford, Worcester, Birmingham, Birmingham and Liverpool, Ellesmere and Chester, Tient and Mersey, and Bridgewater Canals, the quickest, cheapest, and most conve nient line of Canal Con veyaoce between London, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester. Also by a junction with the Oxford Canal at Banbury, an improved communication to the City of Oxford. _ 3d.—To give the facilities and advantages of water convey ance to the valuable and extensive distficts through which the proposed line of navigation is intended to be taken—districts capable of great and rapid improvement, and to which nothing can so materially contribute as a cheap And direct communica tion with the metropolis and the great manufacturing towns of Warwickshire and Staffordshire. It must be evident that the proposed undertaking embraces objects of the highest national importance, and cannot fail to produce great and almost incalculable advantages to the Agri cultural, Commercial, and Manufacturing interests of the King dom. . _ The extraordinary facility that this line would give to Lon don and Liverpool, to the Manufacturers of Manchester, Bir mingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Stourbridge, and Walsall, and to the Preprietors'of Mines and Works in the counties of Stafford, Worcester, and Salop, must be obviotis to the most superficial observer. Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and the contiguous Mineral districts, would then be situated about ' midway on the great thoroughfare water communication between London and Liverpool, and London and Manchester, and as vessels would be passing incessantly in each direction, the in-' creased facility and dispatch could not but be productive of the highest advantages. One grand feature of the proposed undertaking is the opening of a cheap communication between the Metropolis and the Great Coil Fields of Staffordshire and Worcestershire. In the attain ment of this object every inhabitant of London ought 'to feel hiinself interested, experience every day furnishing additional proofs that nothing but effective competition from the interior of the kingdom can insure to the householders of London a ree gular and steady supply of Coal at moderate prices • perhaps it is scarcely - possible for the most sanguine mind to form an ade quate conception of the benefits that. would result from enabling the Midland Coal Proprietor to compete with the Northern Pro prietor in supplying London with Coal. Monopialy would be rendered impossible, combination frustrated, and free and active oompetitien completely secured. By the proposed route, Staf fordshire coal can be delivered in the City Basin, at prices vary ing-with quality, from 15s. to 2tis. per tbtfr" With a view to render this concern as extensively useful as possible, the rates of tonnage will. be low, and thus command that great mass of business which invariably follows moderate charges... . . • ,Alanure.aud road materials will be permitted to pass at lbw -rates. Wharfs will be provided where the Canal will intersect main thoroughfares, and every encouragement be afforded to the tree developement of the energies of the districts through which -the Canal will pass. 'The proposed Navigation will possess all the improvements of the .best modern Canals where tunneling is necessary; two • tunnels with a towing path under each will be made ; the sides of the canal will be walled, and the greatest of all modern im provements, the double towing path, will be carried throughout. the whole line. Confident in the superior cheapness and convenience of water conveyance (particularly as regards raw materials and heavy • commodities) the promoters of this undertaking have no hest . tation in submitting their plan to the public, in the face of the numerous Railways now in course of formation, every day in their judgment furnishing further and satisfactory proof, that though Railway cohveyance may be preferred for passengers .and light goods, that require dispatch and will bear high rates of transit, th e grea t b u lk o f th e t ra d e o f th e coun t r y w ill still b e carried on through the medium of cheap navigable communi cations. The calculati • ons as to the revenue being founded on India potable data, the promoters of the measure have no hesitation in ... stating that the prospect of remuneration is in the highest de gree encouraging en d that if due consideration be given to the merits of the T)roposedline, to the great extent and simplicity of. .its levels,to the superiority it will p ossess i n res p ec t t o di s t ance • ' arid lockage, to e well 'ascertained fact that a full supply of. water can be provided, the that in ti short time 'after conclusion will be fully vim-ranted,- yitiseicdozl:tion this really grand inter nal communication, will }1 t e , El be classed amongst the most productive a return - as will entitle,it to .Accord successful'dnag -..' ..,-,....,..„„_ .. f •tiftiny,s of the kind in the kiegdom Theamoderateroute;ton.hours,. eatving in freight Applications for Shares to be made to the- Solicitor s and t \ e•\ ‘--' . --- • Mr. George Palmer, 2, North Piazza, Roval*Eicharige, lion. °:l.

Liverpool. /1 - IHE Advantages to be derived by the Public as well as by J 1 the Subscribers from the establishment of a well-regulated FIRE and LIFE INSURANCE CO'MPAAY in Liverpool, managed by a resident DirectOry, under the immediate control . nd identified with the interests of a Local Proprietary, are obvious. The 'immense stims annually paid on Insurances of this de scription in Liverpool and its neighbourhood, in which the Inhabitants do not participate, the increasing wealth, import ance, and population of the town and its adjacent distiicts, the recent local improvements in Police, are among the many cir cumstances which combine to render the present juncture.pecu liarly favourable to such an undertaking. The Rate of Premium on Commercial Floating Policies in Liverpool, which is now Twelve Shillings per Cent., was up to the year 1826 charged only at. Two Shillings and Sixpence, and up to the early part of 183.1 at Seven Shillings only per Centum. It has been determined that a Joint Stock Fire and surance Company shall be forthwith established, of - rvti ch the Head Office shall be in Liverpool, under the name of " The Liverpool Fire and Life Insurance Company." That the Capital of the Company shall be £2,000,000, to be subscribed in 100,000 Shares of £2O each, of which an adequate portion, to be hereafter determined upon, shall be paid up. That, in addition to the paid up Capital, a surplus Fund'shall be reserved out of the income to meet emergencies. That the general objects of the Company will be Insurances of Property of all descriptions, against Loss - by Fire, Insurances on Lives, the Sale and Purchase of Annuities, R ever sions, and contingent Interests, and the Endowment of hildren. The Company will commence in Liverpool, and will extend its operations to the adjacent Districts, as circumstances may may admit. It is not proposed, however, to prefix any definite limits to the operations of the Company, but that the same shall gra dually be extended as widely and generally as may be expedient. To promote these views, and to create a general and extended interest in favour of the Company, a considerable number of Shares will be reserved for distribution by the Directors as the interests of the Company may suggest. The affairs of the Company will be under the management of a Board of Directors of resident Proprietors, (holding not less than Fifty Shares each,) of whom a third part shall go out of office annually. being re-eligible. The Funds of the Company to be vested in resident Trustees. Auditors being Proprietors (and not being Directors) shall be annually elected by the Proprietors at large. General - Meetings to beheld, and the Accounts to he stated and audited annually, and Provisions made for calling special General Meetings of Proprietors and for declaring Dividends. The Company to be considered formed, and its operations to commence so soon as 25,000 Shares shall have been sub .scribed for. In order to limit the responsibilty of Shareholders, provision to be Made for dissolving the Company in case one-fourth part of the subscribed Capital shall be lost. A Deed of Settlement will be prepared, containing all neces sary Provisions for the security' of the. Company and of, indivi dual Shareholders, and for the efficient conduct .and control of the Company's affairs, and an Act of Parliament to be applied for, if deemed advisable. Each Subscriber shall on allotment pay the sum of £1 per Share on the number of his shares, and a further sum of £l. 10s. per Share on signing the Deed of Settlement.

MHE object of this Company is to facilitate the supply of Fish to this Market, and thereby enable the Liverpool Fishmonger to compete fairly with Billinsgate. The private and public table of a great part of the Inland Counties, and part of North Wales, is now supplied from Lon don, (although the distance is greater, and the conveyance more expensive than from Liverpool,) but hitherto th trade has not been conducted here so as to ensure a 7:crania apply, and in-consequence, families, hotel keepers, and. pub parties, have been forced to the London markets, or be' e ed todistippoint went or extortion• in stormy weather, i pendent on this market alone. Fish, therefore has, on account of the cost, been rendered to such persons, an expensive luxury. This Company will make it more generally accessible, and thus by an immense increase of the trade, serve the Fishmonger, as well as the public, by a simple and clear arrangement of the business. Well conducted lines of Boats will be placed on the Fishing Stations, and the daily supply will be brought by Steam Boats, which will arrive at the Pier Head, at an early hour each morn ing, so that the wholesale dealer may furnish, by the morning coaches, the dinner table for 90 miles round, on the same day. The capital will be only called for in small sums, unless the directors hereafter shall advise an extension of the trade to Foreign Fishing stations. The number of shares already taken up, enables the pro prietors to name the fifth of April as the day of allotment, and the twelfth as the day to choose three Directors ; the company will then be in operation forthwith. Thus, no Private Interests will be invaded, the trade of the port will be greatly increased, the 'supply of Fish be regular, and as the steam boats may be profitably employed by day, in towing, this undertaking promises a great profit on a very small individual outlay.

SEEING the great importance of a CommunicAtio by means of a Railway between Chester and Liverpool and Chester and the Grand Junction line, it is proposed establish a Company for that purpose, to be called t " CHESTER JUNCTION, RAILWAY COMPANY," ith Shares to the above amount. The surveys will be c p ein a few weeks, when a Meeting of the Shareholders • be called to decide, under the advice of eminent Engineers, t what precise point the Junction with the Grand Junction line shall take place. At present it is proposed that the terminus of the line to the north shall be fixed on the shore of the Mersey, as the most approved point immediately opposite Liverpool, and to the south of the point where the Cheshire Junction falls into the Grand Junction. This line through the whole of its length being 36 miles, passes over a country singularly level, and admirably adapted for the formation of a Railway. A Provisional Committee is in course of formation, and further particulars will appear in a few days. Applications for Shares to be be made to the Committee, ad dressed to Messrs.

The Lady Charlotte, WILLIAMS, arrived here on Wed nesday, from Canton, which place she left on the 29th of November, bringing Canton papers of that date. We copy the following article from the Canton Press: — DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CANTON.._ ABOCT ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED HOUSES AND A PRO DIGIOUS VALUE IN OTHER PROPERTY CONSUMED ! On Sunday evening last, about the hour of seven, the inha bitants of the celestial city of Canton were thrown into a state of inconceivable alarm and consternation, from a most destructive fire having broken out in that part of it in which are situated all the trading establishments of their" community. It ravaged with irresistible fury, its devouring influence rendering the weak, ignorant, and ill-applied efforts of the Chinamen, to arrest its impetuous advance, quite abortive; and it was not until it had consumed every thing within its course, and had reached the which presented an impenetrable barrier to its de and impeded its progress to the suburbs, that, city av at satba w o ; a iu l nt l g s e , pi go h,e t. tri; e following morning, itibecame extinguished. The destruction of property by this lamentable occurrence is reported to be prodigious, and although much depends on con jecture, as to the real extent of the loss, yet from the rapidity with which the devouring, element spread over a wide expanse of the city, and from its being tolerably ascertained that recently the Chinese traders had been speculating to some extent in par ticular descriptions of merchandise, all or most of which had been cleared from the warehouses and taken to their own depositories, it may be fairly inferred that conjecture is not put to the stretch when it states that by this devastation property to an incalcula ble value, in goods, houses, and chattels, has been consumed and swept away in the dreadful conflagration, leaving innume rable individuals bereft of a home, and reduced to most unhappy circumstances. We do not hear of any loss of life, though it is said many individuals have sustained personal injury. From the terraces of the several foreign Merchants and others the whole of the melancholy occurrence could he perceived, and the spectacle was awful. About the hour of twelve, when the fire had attained its greatest ascendancy, and when midnight had shed its dark influence around, the scene was truly imposing. The columns of flame ascending—the occasional sudden corus cations of light biirsting through the dense columns of smoke which now and then partly enveloped the scene from the spec tator, together wills the distant view of edifices involved amidst the devouring element, and demolishing into nothing, gave the whole spectacle an appearance of awful sublimity, and called' forth feelings of no ordinary sensibility and conimiseration. It conveyed to the mind some devoted city given up to pillage and the flames, to sate the mercil ess revenge o f some m odern Nero; or like unto a mighty caldron throwing up its flames and smoke, from the consuming materials with which it was charged. The suburbs escaped destru c ti on, an d i t h as b ee n, so far, a most for tunate event for the foreign mercha :for had the fire spread beyond th e city wallsas-aathell"gs' the result might have been still more lamentable. The extraordinary adverse feelings that pervade the Chinese authorities and the people against Europeans, on this occasion was strongly exemplified in their grossly ungrateful conduct to several European gentlemen who obtained access into the city, and were active in pointing out the .•way for the ignorant people to act. No sooner had the fire ceased to rage than these shame ful and most diabolical wretches sought to show their sense of gratitude by beating.the very p e rsons who had rendered them such essential serv i ces . This speaks enOugh,for China ! ! We were struck, indeed, with the precautionary measures adopted by the foreign merchants, whose zeal to protect' the pro perty of their constituents was admirably displayed on the occa sion; and had the extension of the disasters needed any thing like a removal being resorted to, we believe the whole or most of it would have been saved from destruction. We must take this opportunity of bearing testimony to what we deem most meritorious conduct, because we think it will show the people who repose confidence in our merchants of Canton, that they do not repose it in individuals who are regardless of .the sacred .r In one of the latest American journals we have re. ceived, the New York Morning Courier of the 2d in stant, we find some cnrious illustrations of the working of what is called in this country the " voluntary system" in religion. In order to avoid any misrepresentation we quote the words of our American contemporary : " We have heretofore pointed out the anti-social nature of that fanatical spirit which is now abroad in the land, warrinj . against the rights of property, the peace of the people, the - bond of our union, and the civil institutions of the country. We had sup posed it had reached the end of its tether, and the Climax of its extravagance; but it appeals we were mistaken. It id advanc ing step by step in its career, and now contemplates a dissolu tion of the ties of nature. It is employed in erecting_ edifices consecrated to God, for the purpose of disseminating , doctrines in direct contradiction to his word, and tending in then' practical consequences to the violation of all domestic obligations,, the • duties v - e owe to our kindred, and our offspring and the esta blishment of a new basis for the interchange of all the good of fices of life. Solve ten or twelve days ago, an evening meeting of a con gregation then about being formed by Arthur Tappan, under the style of the Fifth Free Church,' now building by that pious and useful citizen, was held for the purpose of agreeing on their al ticles of association. The seventh article comprises an express prohibition against 'FORMING ANY CONNEXIoN IN BUSINESS WITII UNBELIEVERS.'" This, w•e believe, is the first time that any class of pro- MARCH 25. I 8 6. fessingly protestant christians ever openly avbvi; . - s(l,9lr,,pnh-: , tidy encouraged the practice' of exclusive dealing, there by endeavouring to ruin and reduce to beggary those whom they could not convert. We are aware that among many small sects in this country exclusive deal ing is silently and extensively resorted to, but this is the first time that its policy'has been unequivocally asserted, 'and made the basis of a joint-stock company of narrow minded, uncharitable, and anti-social bigots. It-is in the "land of liberty" alone that we find a community of christians not ashamed to turn the ordinances of religion and the doctrines of their society into a source of profit, making the purchase of a pound of butter or a dozen of. salt herrings dependant upon the admission of the ven der to the most sacred place in their obscure temple. In the report we find one man only connected with these vo luntaries objecting to the abOminable proposition, and he did it on the ground that he would be prohibited thereby from : dealing with his own son. His objections, however, were overruled,' and the clause was retained, and now forms part of the articles of association of the " Fifth Free Church" in the free city of New York., The Morning Courier concludes its remarks as fol lows : Is it at last come to this; that a little cabal of self-willed, self sufficient outcasts from their own church, shall set themselves up as the.arbiters of what is and what is not the true belief, and ostracise all who do not conform to their peculiar code of doc trine and discipline? Are these fanatical dogmas to be made• the criterion of truth, and the basis on whiCh men are to do bu siness and hold social intercourse with each other? The next step will' be piohibitiug their female disciples from marrying any except the followers of Mr. Tappan, the sole monopolizers of orthodoxy; the next that they will not exchange the offices of good neighbourhood with any other.; the next that they will not vote for any other; and, if they ever have the power, to disfranchise all those who do not believe in the infallibility. of Mr. Arthur Tappan—who is an excellent judge of silks—and without doubt takes suclfati interest in the people of colour„be cause their faces look so much like black satin. "The whole proceedings of the fanatics, Whether directed to wards immediate abolition, or against connexions in business with unbelievers, are at war with the peace and happiness of society,'which are founded'on the.social feelings and social in- . stitutions. When the mere abStract opiniolii of 'ilaankind shall regulate the intercourse between man and man .in the. ordinary busines3 of life, and acts of kindness, comfort, and assistance, are withheld from our fellow-creatures, because they do not be= . lieve what we believe, then charity comes as selfishness, and that feeling of benevolence which is placed by the Saviour at the . head of all the,virtues, falls a sacrifice to the pride of human opinion. These people cry out persecution, while they are at tempting an indirect and ►nsidious persecution against all who differ with themselves, just as the flying plunderer cries " stop thief" in order to shelter his own transgression. It would be but a righteous retaliation, were the rest of the merchants of this city to enter into an association (not however under the sa cred mantle of religion) to transact no business with these sub• lime exclusives, and to abstain front purchasing any of Mr. Ar thur Tappan's orthodox silks and satins—lf the unbelieving' banks were to refuse to discount his notes, the poor gentleman could build no more free churches.' " A few days ago Lord HOWICK made a most intempe rate, scurrilous, and uncalled-for attack upon two reve rend gentlemen who are already known to our readers, namely, Messrs. M'GHEE and O'SULLIVAN. The whig lordling did not attack these genilemen by name, but he pointed at them in a way that could not be misunderstood, and he slandered them in a style of acrimony which would have been worthy of the Irish beggar. He called' them "itinerants going about the country preaching in tolerance"—" missionaries of mischief, who fan the flame of religious animosity," and he applied to them various' other epithets equally insulting. Mr. M‘GutE did not choose to remain silent under' such calumnies directed against him in the reported .pro ceedings of the House of Commons, and in his own vin dication he addressed a letter to Lord HowicK, which . appeared in the Standard of Tuesday evening. The following, we take it, is the marrow of the reverend gentleman's answer : "A nd now, my lord, that your lordship may see that those who know and feel they act On principles of truth can act in the honest independent exercise of those principles, if your lordship really desires to exhibit before the nation who are the persons who are guilty of the crimes which you have so justly denounced iu the senate, I state as follows. In the name of my God and Master, to whom I confess myself responsible for the truth' which I assert, I impeach the 'Roman Catholic bishops anct . priests of Ireland of these facts:— " I impeach the bishops that for 27 'years and six months past,' up to the very,day of the date of this letter, they have set up and maintained, as the standard of religion for their priests, and as . the " best guide.' with. which they could supply them, a book' inculcating principles of tyranny, confiscation, exile, imprison ment, and murder, against their protestant fellow subjects which book is founded, not, as they falsely pretend, on indivi dual ptivate opinion, but on laws and canons, which to this hour they assert to be infallible, and which every time they re-' peat their creed they swear to maintain, to the latest hour of their existence. " I impeach the present Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dub lin, Dr. Murray, of sanctioning and approving not only the re publication of this book, but of an additional volume, corrobo- . rating and confirming its most detestable principles of intolerance' and persecution, laying it down as the duty of his order to exterminate protestants out of their dioceses; and also of re-" publishing a certain bull, not only held by him of infallible authority, but also which he has admitted in evidence before the House of Commons to be in force in Ireland, in which bull the same principles of persecution are inculcated. " I impeach him, and his provincial bishops of Leinster, of having set up these very principles, and canons, and this very bull, as the subject of private conferences coital! priests of their province, not in times of exasperation and ./111PRical restriction, but in times of conciliation, in times of concession, even since the passing of the emancipation bill, and of the reform bill, namely, in the year 1832. " I impeach them, not only of inculcating these pestilential doctrines in this book, but al so o f so sanc ti on i ng in it the Crimes of treachery, and faithlessness, and perjury, that no oath can be devised to bind men who hold such opinions; and they have themselves exemplified the doctrines they have taught. " I impeach the Roman catholic bishops, not only of this in culcation of these criminal principles on their priests, but I im peach both bishops and priests of inculcating these principles on the mass of the Roman catholic population. 1 impeach them of inculcating in the very worst of all possible printed docu ments—because, being documents of the most forcible and au thoritative order, namely, a so-called infallible interpretation of the Holy Scriptures—such detestable principles of the papal infallibility and power, and of the duty of subjection to the pope, of hatred, intolerance, persecution, and extermination of their protestant fellow-subjects, as are quite sufficient to account for the horrible state of Ireland, for all the seditious, anarchy, re sistance to law, persecution, and murder, both of protestants and of Roman catholics who had enough of feeling and princi ple to resist such horrid doctrines. 1 impeach them of the incul cation of these principles for twenty years past, and all substan tiated by dates, facts, and documents. " Now, my lord, we hear much of ` justice for Ireland;' so I say too, •justicelor Ireland;' but, let me add, `no humbugging for England.' England shall now see who are the preachers and who are the patrons of the preachers of intolerance and persecution. Your lordship will admit, that if these charges be really true—if these be actual facts, capable of proof, that the, men who faithfully denounce them are the genuine advocates of • civil and religious freedom, and that the men who will cushion the facts, or patronise or encourage, much less co-operate with those who are guilty of them, are the real advocates and patrons of intolerance and persecution, the real missionaries of mis chief' in the country. " Now, my lord, I - shall put this to the test. And therefore, in tho presence of your lordship's.constitutents, who no donbt expect that you will honestly advocate the liberal principles you profess—in the presences of the House of Con - Maims—in the face of all England, and the empire,—l say to you, if you de , sire truth, if you desire to legislate on the principles of justice for Ireland, take these charges in your hand, read them inthe House of Commons, move that the Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan and the Rev. Robert 111`Chee be summoned to the bar of your honourable house, and that they may be celled on, and gibers fair, and open liberty to substantiate thoseeharges; and that if they tail to do go, after fair liberty of speech - being givelithem, they he committed to the Toyer for contempt of parliament, in preferring charges of such a flagrant nature before your honourable house, which they Were not able to prove. " If the Popisla:JaislicAps , ase- wet co-rise-ions - Of' the critnes;They will petition your honourable house for an investigation to clear their character. If the honourable, and learned member for Dublin is not conscious.of, and privy to, these crimes, he•will present and insist on their petition with shouts of " Justice for Ireland !" And now l aagert before the. empire, that r will maintain these chaNes, Carq, acp,t- before what tribunal' fmy fellow-sinners, for I. will Maintain them to prison or" to death, in the presence of my Gode: . " And now, my lord, you may see the confidence and hide pendence of, truth. I only saw your lordship's speech thii - ilay ; I have no time to consult with member of the House of tom moos, who, you say, encourage me ; and I repeat, I neither know what they may.think of this, nor do I care for or want the encouragement or the suppOrt of any one or of .all the members it contains. I assert truth in the presence of a free people—truth that scorns the aid of human 'patronage to pro tect it, and defies the impotence of human power to put it down. It is for the advocates of falsehood to skulk beneath the shield of policy and power. It is the privilege of truth to contemn their favour nod to despise their frown: t fib not even consult with Mr. O'Sullivan, for he is in Londlon—this will be in the press before I could hold communication with him ; we need not to communicate ; we have acted all along independently of each other, as of all other men ; we never met but once by agreement upon a platform, and that was at our first meeting at Exeter-hall; we never were sure till we soy each other on the spot that we should meet again; we never concocted one syllable of our evidence ; yet I say, without his leave, summon him to your bar—true witnesses need not corr sultation—we defy integrity to resist, or iniquity to shake, out testimony." Which of the small brown bears is to dance next, w ith • the greatest eclat, in Clayton-square, we are now rather anxious to learn. The radical journals do not seem to be harmonious upon this interesting question.
