T a MEETING of the COAL and IRON-NIASTERS, held at the HOTEL, DUDLEY, on FRIDAY, the 12thf o A ~February, 18.36; to take into Consideration a proposed NEW LINE of CANAL from BIRMINGHAM to LONDON, MICHAEL GRAZEBROOK. Esq., in the Cbair, Mr. Dc'GDALE HOUGHTON attended and laid before the Meeting a Plan of a Line of Canal proposed to be made between the Stratford-on.Avou Canal and the Regent's Canal at London ; and it appearing from Statements made to the Meeting, that besides the great advantage of avoid ing the passage of 124 locks, the proposed Hite would effect a saving between Birmingham and London by Canal Con veyance of 35 miles—that the Reduction or Saving in the height of Iron to London by such line would amount, ac cording to the calculation of experienced Carriers, to full Fifty per cent. on the present charge—that in res ct to Coal and Coke the advantages would be equally at, and that the Saving in the freight of Manufactured oods and General Merchandise from Birmingham to 4ondon, and vice versa, would amount to Twenty Shill t per lon ItesoLyzo, That it appears to this Meeting that the sed Canal would afford the best and most direct line of Water Communication practicable between the Midland District and the MetrOpolis, and by the couimunicatioo it would open with other Canals,: would be the means of establishing, via Birmingham and Wol verhampton. a line of Canal Conveyance between London aped Manchester and Liverpool decidedly superior to that now ex isting; that such ComMunication Would benefit in a highly im portant degree the Mining Districts of Staffordshire, Worces tershire, and Shropshire, and be productive of immense advan tages to the Manufacturing, Commercial, and Agricultural In terests of the kingdom at large. That the Subscribers to the Survey of the proposed - Canal be requested to convene a Meeting of those desirous of promoting the undertaking, for the purpose of forming a Company, and taking all necessary in .asures preparatory to applying to Par liament for powers to carry the plan into effect.

One Brest feature of the proposed under taking t/Ts, ;a p eo - i ni i of a cheap' Communication fietweem the Met ro p o li s and the Great Coal Fields of Staffordshire and Worcestershire. In t h e vtainnient of this °blest every Inhabitant of Londtul ought to .feel himself interested, experience every day furnishing Lionel proofs that nothing but effective competition from the interior of the kingdom can insure to the Householders of Lon don a regular and steady supply of Coal at:moderate prices; perhaps it is scarcely possible for the most sanguine mind to. form an adequate conception of the ir - enelits that would result from enabling the Midland Coal. Proprietor to compete wi. h the Northern Proprietor in supplying London with Coal. Mono poly would be:rendered impossible, combination frustrated, and free and active :competition completely secured. By the pro posed route Staffordshire Coal can b e d e li vere d the City Basin at prices, varying in toality, from 15s. to 20s. per Ton. 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. Manure and Road Materials will be permitted to pass at low rates. Wharfs will be provided where the Canal will intersect main thoroughfares, and every encouragement be afforded to the free 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 tunnelling is necessary, two tunnels, with a towing path under each, will be made; the sides of the Canal will be waited; 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 Wa ter Conveyance, (particularly as regards taw materials and heavy commodities,) the promoters of this undertaking have no hesitation 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 Conveyance may be preferred for passengers and light goods that require despatch, and will hear high rates of transito, the great bulk of the trade of the country will stilt he carried on through the medium of cheap navigable com munications. The calculations as to the revenue being founded on indispu table data, the promoters of the measure have no hesitation in stating that the prospect of remuneration is in the highest de gree encouraging; and that if flue consideration be given to the merits of the proposed Line, to .the great extent and sim plicity of its levels, to the superiority it will possess in respect to distance and lockage, to the well-ascertained fact that a full sup ply of water can be provided, the conclusion will be fatly war ranted, that in a short time after its completion this really grand internal communication will yield sucn a return as will entitle it to be classed amongst the most productive and successful un dertakings of the kind in the kingdom. According to a mode rate esqinate. full 'fen pet Cent, will be realized By the proposed route Goods will be delivered in London in thirty-two hours, instead of seventy by the existing route. The saving in Freight 20s. per Ton.. .

TRINITY•HARBOUR. CAPITAL, £200,060, IN SHARES OF £2O EACH.—DEPOSIT £l. r F. objects of this Company is to establish a fine HAR BOURI. at TRINITY, which will be the erininus of the Gaigow and Edinburgh, and Edinburgh and eith and New liztv2a Railways. The want of a low water'Harbour in the oble estuary of the Frith of Forth, of a Port or Harbour all suitable for the wants of Edinburgh and Leith, and o Pier accessible at all times of the tide for the numerous Ste r Vessels in the Forth, especially for those plying near Edin gh, or the great public ferry of communication between the Southern and Northern parts of the Island has long been felt. The Company propbsed to be established by the Trinity Har bour Bill offers to construct, at their own expense, and by di rection of most eminent Engineers, Worki which will effectually remove these great obstructions to trade, and to a most requisite public thoroughfare, and establish a most convenient Landing Place at all times of the tide for Steam Vessels of every class— and protection to Merchant Vessels. A Breakwater will be formed, within which, there will always be eleven feet water at dead low water ring tides. A Dock capable of receiving the largest class of Merchantmen will be formed, with every accom modation for the purposes of trade. The establishment of the new Railways will give facilities to commerce, and open a mine of wealth to the suppOrters pf these' important undertakings. A few Shares are reserved for Liverpool, and may be had on early application at my office, No. 10, Exchange-alley. RICH. DAWSON, Agent and PROSPECTUS. LIVERPOOL ALE AND PORTER BREWERY.

DEPOSIT El. rilH E decided advAntages possessed by Joint Sto Compa 1. nies, in all large undertakings, have become wetland so generally known that little needs be said to rec mend them. "The publicity of their proceedings, and th sound general principles by which they are governed, afford best guarantee of their solidity; but their chief recommen Ation is, that they enable men of moderate capital to part' i ate in those profits hitherto enjoyed exclusively by the weal If, therefore, an article of universal co surnption, (and in the manufacture of which a large capital is required,) can be proved to yield a great and steady profit, even under the ordinary ma nagement of individual capital, it is reasonable toexpect greater advantages from the employment of a Joint Stock Fund,-accom panied by the greater economy which'alvrays attends manufac turing upon an extensive scale. The Brewing of Ale and Porter has hitherto been carried on in Liverpool by comparatively small concerns; and the quality of the latter article especially, has rendered it necessary to im port largely from London and Dublin, the freight necessarily operating as a !learn tax upon it. It is calculated that the consumption of the town alone is 600,000 barrels per annum, to say nothing of the immense Fo reign Trade of %%hid) the Article is capable. fl is therefore proposed to establish a Joint Stock Comliany, to be called "THE LIVERPOOL ALE AND PORTER BREWERY," having a subscribed Capital of £200,000, in 10,000 Shares of £2O each. That the affairs of the Company shall be under the manage ment of a •Board of Directors, (holding not less than 20 Shares each,) to be elected by the Proprietors at large, of whom one third part shall go out of office annually, being re-elligible. That Auditors (not being Directors) shall be annually elected by the Proprietors. That every holder of five shares shall have one vote; of twenty shares two votes ; and one vote more for every additional twenty shares; but no Shareholder to have more than six votes. _ That each Shareholder shall pay a deposit of El per share upon allotment, and such further calls as the Directors may re quire, not exceeding per share at any one time. That in preparing the Deed of Settlement it shall be provided that, if ever the tompany shall lose one-fourth of its paid-up Capital, the Directors shall call a Meeting of the Proprietors, and lay a statement of the affairs before them, when the Com pany shall be dissolved; but if any of the Shareholders are still desirous to carry it on, they shalt be at liberty to do so, after paving the dissentients the value (properly estimated) of their Shares. It will be the interest of those Licensed Victuallers who oc cupy free houses to become Shareholders, and thereby secure the brewer's profit in'addition to their own.

The 'intended site also presents peculiar advantages, having the extraordinary frontage of 650 yards available for Shops. The great number of Shopkeepers who are continually desir ing to select the leading thirroughfares for their shops, render it almost certain, that however great the number of shops that may be built, the whole will be let as soon as they can be com pleted. The expected rental has been estimated by four experienced Architees and Surveyors, according to whose reports the ren tal on an average till amount to eight per cent. per annum upon the Capital to be invested, and the Land will be sold ac cording to such estimate. The whole of the Land being Freehold of Inheritance, each Shareliiilder wilt . be entitled to vote for Members of Parliament for South Lancashire. . .

Cheltenham to Swindon, by Stroud, is adopted or sanctioned by the inhabitants of Cheltenham and its vicinity, as being the line of road best suited to the traffic from and through Cheltenham to the Metropolis; and to show to the Public end the Houses of Parliament that such line of Railway through. Stroud would, if so adopted by the Legislature, be destructive of the best interests of this town and its neighbourhood, as im posing upon them an increased route of 20 miles and upwards, with its consequent stoppages at Gloucester and Stroud, and an increase of upwards of one-fifth of the expense and as effecting a complete diversion of the whole of the travelling and traffic through this borough to another channel.

PARISH OF LIVERPOOL. REPORT of the CHURCHWARDENS and SELECT V LsTRY for the Year ending the 25th day of March, 183d.—The Select Vestry, in submitting a sum ry of their transactions to the consideration of the Parishi eis, in Vestry assembled, venture to express a hope that it w meet with a fa vourable reception at their hands; for tho it does'n o t show any very material alteration in the exp iture for the main tenance of the poor, as compared with t preceding year, the general outlay has been diminished' to the extent of nearly £40(X); and the-Parishioners will bear in mind that the rate le vied upon them for the service of the poor has been considera bly less than on former occasions; and judging from the ba lance at the credit of the account, and from the probable amount of rates still to be cotlected, and from the absence of all out standing demands, may reasonably expect that notwithstand ing the rise that. has taken place in many articles of parochial consumption, -the burthens of the parish are not soon likely to be increased. _ . The Select Vestry have to report that, since the 15th Decem ber last, they have been deprived of the services of one of - their Assistant Overseers, Mr. Anthony Black, who, feeling unable, at his advanced age, any longer to discharge the duties of his situation with satisfaction to himself, has retired into private life, carrying with Lira the respect and good wishes of all who know him; and the Select Vestry, from a desire more fully to testify their sense of his long and faithful services. have contin ued him in the receipt of his salary, up to the 26th March last, satisfied that the Parishicners will not refuse their sanction to this slight tribute to his worth, more especially as no extra ex pense has been incurred by it, Mr. Black's duties having, ; .since his resignation, - been gratuitously performed by the clerks at tached to this office, and the other officers •4 the Parish. As his successor, but at a salary reduced from £30(.1 to £OO per annum,' tha Select Vestry take the liberty of recommending Mr. Edward Grav,who has been brought up in the service of the Parish, and has fur some time past acted as Mr. Black s assis tant. and who, by a thorough knowledge of the business, an by the kindness of manner which in, a most trying position, has ever mat ked his intercourse with the poor, is, in the opinion of the Select Vestry, fully qualified for the appointmeet. The experience of the last twelve months has confirmed the Select Vestry in their conviction of the propriety of having united, in the person of Mr. G. P. Furwood, the office of Super intendent to the Illegitimate Department with that , of Rate book Clerk, and served inure strongly to impress them with an opinion of the value of the Rate-book office; and although the Select Vestry are aware an idea has been entertained that partiality was shown in making out the Lists of Voters last year, they can assure the Parishioners that such an opinion is altogether unfounded, and that the errors which did occur on those occasions arose from accident alone. With further prac tice and experience such errors will more rarely be found ; still, in a parish like Liverpool, containing upwards of 32000 different assessments, it will be impossible, in the short time allowed for preparation, to make out either the Parliamentary or the Muni cipal Lists with perfect accuracy. In order, however, that the Parishioners may ensure the continuance of that inipai tuttits as to the Rate-hooks, and the economical administration of the Parochial Funds, which have hitherto prevailed, it is to lie hoped that men of respectability, men whose high characters are a sufficient guarantee that no party feeling will thfluence them in discharge of their duties, way be induced to become members of theSelect - Vestry, and be their political opinions what they may, will join in promoting such measures as may best contribute to the general welfare of the Parish. At the Workhouse, under the able superintendence of the Governor, many improvements have been made,—two of the Wards have been almost entirely rebuilt, and the Kitchens have been reconstructed, with a view to removing the intense heat which the want of a proper escape for the steam from the boilers occasioned. Nor, while attending to the comforts, have the Select Vestry been unmindful of the greater duty of admi nistering to the moral and religious wants of the inmates of this establishment; and in furthelauce of this object they were glad of the opportunity, a hich the retirement of the Chapel Cierk afforded them, of appointing as his successor a person who could at once discharge his duties, and superintend the educa tion of the boys, which previously had nut kept pace with the wishes of the Select Vestry; and, though, by this appointment an additional expense of about £3O per annum wilt be incurrod, they are confident it is one that will meet with the ready acqui escence of the Parishioners. It is the intention of the Churchwardens to propose a Church rate of one penny in the pound on the present occasion. They had hoped that the endowment of the parochial clergy by the late Corporation, aided by some Legislative measure fur the abolition of Church-rates, (by which the maintenance of the fabric of the Established Church should be secured to the coun try by payments from the Consolidated Fund, in conformity With the bill introduced by Lord Althorp in the House of Com mons') would have saved them from the.necessity of making such an application, and been the means of removing an alleged grievance from a considerable portion of the community; but, as the validity of the endowment, by the late Body Corporate, has been caned in question by their successors, and as no bill for the abolition of Church-rates has as yet been brought for ward by his Majesty's Ministers, the Churchwardens feel that they have no alternative than their present course. it should, however, be understood, that any payments made to the clergy, which would have been provided for by the endowment deed, had its legality not been disputed, will be returned to the Parish as soon as it is ascertained that that measure will be sustained. In conclusion, the Select Vestry cheerfully resign their trust into the - hands of , the -Parishioners, conscious that they have done their duty to the best of their ability.

This war appears to bid fair not only to disgrace the admini stration, but many of the principal officers. A t th e commence ment the territory was left without troops, and the whole inhabitants at the mercy of the Indians. A collision has now broken out between General Gaines and Scott, and the former has left Florida for New Orleans, to take command of the Southern frontier. It is a little remarkable that General Scott, let him go where he will, has inure or less difficulty about rank. Many of the volunteers have retired, and the army appears to be deficient in provisions and ammunition. General Gaines. has had a fight with the Indians, and suffered a severe loss. From the New Fork American. General Gaines left Tampa Bay with 1,140 men, and reached Fort King on tne 22d of February, taking with hitn only enough subsistence to last to that place. here he called upon General Clinch for 14,000 rations, but only 10,000 could be furnished, and those had been just placed there by order of General Scott, for the support of a battalion of Georgia foot then on the march to Fort King. Thus insufficienil provi sioned, he made a dash for the Ouithlachoochee, near General Clinch's former battle ground, where it was truly believed the main body of the enemy were. lle arrived on the west bank of the river on Saturday eveninei, 27th. The Indians on the opposite hank immediately opened a fire on him, which was continued all Sund a y from eac h, side. neither party crossing. At six o'clock on Sunday evening, General Gaines sent an ex press to General Clinch, stating his situation , and calling for more ammunition and provisions. His loss up to that tinie was two volunteers from Louisiana killed, and ten regulars and volunteers wounded ; among the latter Lieutenant Izard , of the drag oons , dangerously. On Monday morning, the 291 h, about ten o'clock, while General Gaines was preparing means to cross the ri ve r, lie was attacked on three sides of his camp by the Indians, who kept up a vigorous assault for about two hours, frequently approaching very near his entrenchments. 'lhey were fically repulsed, with, as is supposed, considerable loss. The loss of Gen. Gaines's command was one sergeant killed, and ten regulars, and 20 volunteers wounded—among the regu lars Lieut. Duncan. • The force of the Indians was estimated at 1500 men. Gen. GaMes was entrenching himself, and acting on the defensive, having made no sortie. He calls loudly for more force, ammu nition, and previsions. His situation is a very critical one, and he may be compelled to retreat upon Fort King, a distance of 30 miles, at the hazard of great loss—for no timely relief can reach him in the capacity of adjutant-general. and nearly half his force is regulars. Th e South Carolina mounted regiment had not yet appeared. They must, however, be there in a day or two. Six days previous one company of the Georgia mount ed men arrived opposite Picolata, but they refused, with the exception of about twenty, to be mustered into the service, and lof course could not be received, and had gone home. Four other companies had just arrived, es hether with better intentions than the others was not yet known. Without mounted men, it is the general opinion, it would not be expedient to take the field. Major Gates and his command had not arrived, nor Captain Wharton. Catain Elmore's company of S. C. volun , teems, from Columbia, and Saunders's company, were at Volusia, for the purpose of establishing a large depot, in which they suc ceeded admirably. Colonel Brisbane's regiment will be at Volusia in a few days, and thence join the forces from here on their march to the Ouithlaehoochee. Elmore's company is an honour to South Carolina; it is composed of young gentlemen of the greatest respectability, from Columbia. There are straggling parties of the enemy all over the coml. try. A party of several were seen near Volusia, and a tarty of about 25 were seen by some negtoes 25 miles above this, No days ago. Fresh tracks Here also seen this morning, en the road-between this oml St. Augustine. It is also supposed there is, a., v ay, iee; ot-buwirel \\B\ APitli. 8. 1836 THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL.

The great length of our assize intelligenco forces us to with draw several communications intended for insertion to-dap. The declaration of the Operative Conservative Association or Liverpool is unavoidably postponed to next week. We have various new works which wait and deserve notice, but we cannot possibly do justice to them until after the assizes. The communication respecting the brutal conduct of a police man towards two gentlemen who endeavoured to dissuade hint from continuing his savage attack upon a defenceless man, in Dale-street, on Saturday night, has been received. If there bea disinclination on the part of,the police-committee to inquire into the outrage complained of. an in , !ictment should be.pre ferred against the offender at tt,e ensoing. Borough Sessions. NOTICE.

The bilk of mortality for the parish of Liverpool and its vicinity, which were published on Tuesday last, exhi- -- bit some facts which claim the attention of those who are. • •-: perpetually boasting of the numerical power and influ ence of the dissenters anti the Roman catholics. We find that during the year which ended on Easter Monday the number of births and baptisms in the established churches of Liverpool amount to 6392, of Roman catho lics 2572, of independents 140, and of baptists only 76. Jews, quakers, and unitarians cannot he ranked under the head of baptisms; but the births amongst these peo- ' ple are rated at, for Jews 23, quakers 20, unitarians only 16. We leave out the births of • the Scottish church, and of the Wesleyan methodiSts, inasmuch as we have a clear right to consider them as belonging to tl:e national church. On the whole there are of births and baptisms. in the church, and amongst the protestant dissenters, 9,408, and of Roman catholics 2,572. A foolish Roman catholic barrister (we forget hito• name) amused the public some short time ago with some ingenious calculations on the subject of population. He inferred, from the number of baptisms in the popish cha pels, that the Roman catholic population of Liverpjol amounted to upwards of 70,000. It was a very absurd , theory founded upon false premises. Its fallacy is proved. by the accurate returns now placed in our hands when tried by the arithmetical rule of three. If 2,572 birth, give a population of 70,000, what will 9,409 give ? The , • answer is about 250,000. But this is much beyond the whole population of the parish and the vicinity under the bills of mortality. In the year 1831 it was 201,000; but, for the sake of ar gumen t, let us assume it now to be ,; 216,000. Let us try this also by the rule of three. 1' ; • ".:" the whole births, say 12,000, give a population of 216,000 what will 9,400 and 2,500 births give respectively ? The answer is, that the former (the protestants).give a popu lation of 169,000, and the latter (the Roman eetholiv) 45,000. This we belie-ve is as near the mark, leaving fractions' out of the question, as it is possible to bring it to by figures, upon the data of the nameless barrister befor e alluded to. Granting all the births which the Roman • catholics claim, they do not prove a population in Liver pool much exceeding 45,000 souls. But we have other . facts to adduce, which show that these numbers are much overrated. It is a well known fact, which the parish .• books establish, that. not more than two out of every five births registered in Liverpool as Roman catholic children properly oelong to Liverpool, orcan be taken to belong to its population. The wives of an immense number of the pauper emigrants of Ireland come hereto be confined, and are supported under the exigencies of the moment ,at thu expense of the parish. The Ladies' Charity of this Warm provides munificently for these destitute and helptessio - and during the period of their confinement they re ceive so many shillings a week from the parish until they are in a state to be removed, which, in the propor tion we have mentioned, they invariably are. This fact . is so well established, and the disgraceful cirOutnces attending this system of vagrancy and paupertstn,,ard found to be so repulsive to the feelings of Irishmot re sident in Liverpool, that it is with great difficulty that y any natite of the country, of fair means, will consent to s ': t i be placed upon the vestry.
