33obtc0, AT a MEETING or the COAL and IRON-MASTERS. held at the ILOTEL, DUDLEY, on Fatu&s, the 12th of February, 1836, to take into Consideration a proposed .NEW LINE of CANAL from BIRMINGHAM to LONDON, MICHAEL GRAZ EBROOK, Esq., iu the Chair. Mr. DUGOALE 11(,L;GirroN attended and laid before the Meeting a Plan of a Liue of Canal proposed to be made between the Stratford-on•Ayon Canal and the Regent's. Canal at London ; and it appearing from Statarents made to the Meeting, that besides the great advantage of avoid ing the passage 0112:1 locks,, the proposed line would effect a saving between Birmingham and London by Canal COU veyance of 36 miles—that the Reduction or Saving in the freight 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—thi in respect to Coat and Coke the advantages would be e ally great, and that the Saying in the freight of Manuf• tured Goods and General Merchandise from Birming a to London, and vice versa, would amount to Twenty Wings per ton — RESOLVED, That it appears to this Meeting that the proposed Canal would afford the best and most direct line of M ater Communication practicable between the Midland District and the Metropolis, and by the communication it would open with other Canals, would be the means of establishing, via Birmingham and Wol verhampton, a line of Canal Conveyance between London and 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 acivan tages to the Manufacturing, Commercial, and Agricultural lu- ' 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 measures preparatory to applying to Par liament for powers to carry the plan into effect.

AT a Meeting of the Committee,, held the th day of March, 1836, it was resolved, That the Committee taking into co r ration the immense number of applications already made Shares, far exceeding what could be slotted to them agreeab e to the prospectus issued to the public, have determined to extend the Capital of this ComparLy t0..4.0,(XX1-Skases ef-E6-each, not with the Intel - 11W of calling for more than is absolutely required, but to afford a more extended participation in the benefits to be derived from its operations. That the Liverpool and Manchester District Banking Com , panv be the Bankers of the Company. That Subscribers shall pay one shilling per Share for their Scrip, and within fourteen days after the appointment of Directors, and other Officers shall pay into the Banks of the Company, One Pound per Share, and a further sum of Ten Shillings per.Sbare within two months afterwards, if required, upon 14 days notice in writing.

Mono poly would be rendered impossible, combination frustrated, and free and active competition completely secured. By the pro posed route Staffordshire Coal can he delivered is the City• ,Basin at prices, varying iu quality, from 15s. to 20s. per Ton. With a view to render this con' ern as extensively useful as possible, the Rates of Tonnage 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 developemeut 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 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 Wa ter Conveyance, (particularly di regards raw 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, e..!el v day in their judgment furnishing further and satisfactory proot that, though Railway Conveyance may be preferred for passengers and light goods that require despatch, and will hear high rate of transist, the 4reat bulk of the trade of the country will still be carried okthrough - the medium of cheap navigable coin n ica tionC I'he 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 due 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, IA) the well-ascertained fact that a full sup ply of water can be proviied, the conclusion will be fully war ranted, that in a' short time after its, completion this really grand internal communication will yield such 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 estimate, full Ten per 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 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 heavr, tax upon it.

That each Shareholder shall pay a deposit of £1 per share upon allotment; and such further calls as the Directors may re quire, not exceeding £5 per share at any one time.

THE Property consists of a new well-built Stone PIER, three bundled yards long, extending to law water Mayk, sufficiently wide for the passage of Carriages and Carts; a spa cious QUAY, with Iron Crane and Ornamental Ferry Lodge; a large commodious HOTEL, with extei ive Stables and Out buildings, and about nine thousand sq re Yards of. Land for Gardens, Bowling Green, and Pleasu Grounds, with the ex clusive right of Perry in perpetuity the whale being FREE HOLD PROPERTY ; together th an excellent STEAM BOAT, now ready, which has ju ndergone a thorough repair in hull and machinery, and fitted ith new Boilers. The whole of the above valuable Property, with all its rights am' privileges, is offered for the sum of £25,000, and it is deter mined to form a Joint Stock Company, - with a Capital of £35,000. in 1750 Shares of £2O each, tor effecting the purchase and providing an additional and su ffi cient number of good and efficient Steam Boats. _ _ Bore FERRY is situated a short distance above Liverpool, on the Cheshire shore.- Besides the advantage of its conven.iint Quay, and the facility afforded for Shipping and Landing -Ter; riages, Horses, Cattle, &c., at any time of the tide, thejjarls, Chiltenhim, Holyhead, Chester, and all parts of the Principality of %Vales, pass within a few hundred yards of the Ferry. The Hotel is beautifully situated on high ground, command ing an uninterrupted view up and down the River Mersey, with the Shipping in the Liierpool Docks, and the Town in the back ground. The judicious and handsome manner in which the neighbour ing property is planted and ornarr.ented, together with the Ma rine Parade of half a mile in length, (now nearly finished,) points this out as one of the most attrartive and fashionable Watering Places in the immediate neighbourhood of Liverpool. A punctual steam communication will be established every half hour to George's Pier, also one at stated times each day to a new pier now.on the point of completion at the Potteries, Toxtet park, the advantages thus presented to the inhabitants of the extensive agricultural tract of country behind the Royal Rock Ferry are obvious. The projected South or Pottery Pier will admit Steam boats to land or re c eive Passengers, Cattle, Carriages, &c., at almost any time of the tide, without the risk and annoyance of a reshipment in email boats; and, by means of this terry the inhabitants in general willthushaveanopportunityofcrossing the River Mersey without the inconvenience and danger (particu larly to children) of passing along the Docks, and avoid what has been so serious an objection in crossing the river—the bus tle and confusion in embarking and landing at low water on the quays at the centre of the town. Lookingat this undertaking in the light of an investment, it is only necessary to direct the attention of the public to the fact of the rapidly increasing growth of the town of Livrrpool in wealth and pop . ulation, rendering a watering place in the imme diate vicinity, invested with the local beauties and advantages of the Rock Ferry, an object of great public interest and impor tance, and thus holding out to the Shareholders in this Scheme investment, .but prospect , not only of fp ample return for their .but the certainty of a gradual, progressive, and indefinite in crease.

After much patient investigation and exper ent, he has completely succeeded in overcoming the objec Olls which characterise every Dve hitherto introduced.. It is well known that they are all attended with much trouble and annoyance in application, staining whatever they touch, leaving the hair harsh and im poverished by the caustic quality of the ingredients, and never producing a colour which has any resemblance to nature, the blacks being blue, and the browns fox colour. The Grecian Hair Dye, on the contrary, is very easily applied, and certain in its effects, invariably producing the desired colour, whether Brown or Black, and .5,, t, it co nature that the most experienced eye could not detect it. It may be applied with equal safety and success to the Eyebrows, Whiskers, or Mustachios. Its per mac,nce cannot oe affected by any subsequent application, as neither washing, dressing with hot irons, sea bathing, heat or cold, ardity or damp, will affect it in the least.

SlR,—The most extravagant notions seem to be abroad as to the incomes of Insurance-offices, and with it the rage for estab lishing new ones. This mania has manifested, itself in every part of the country, but from the scarcity of u occupied districts wherein to commence a good business, and rom the utter want of experience, both in the Directory and oh-management, of recently formed Fire-offices, TWEN TY. F I of these have ceased to exist, and left disbanded a host of i ppointed Shareholders to inveigh and spread far and wide well-founded prejudice against embarking capital in underta ings of this kind. But let us inquire how such matters stand nearer home, as my particular object is to place your correspondent TRUTH -SEEKER, as well as the public generally, in possession of the requisite in formation for dabbling in Shares of the new Fire-offices now in progress of being reared in this town. Well, then, every body must know Mr. Richard Dawson on Change, and if they do not they are themselves to blame. He is a most respectable Share broker, and Agent for th e M anc h es t er Fi re an d Life Office, and began Public life in Liverpool, if I am rightly informed, as the Agent to the Norwich Uni o n Fi re an d Lif e Insurance Society. He was well supported by the town and had then little compe tition to encounter, and his success, whilst conducting the agency for this latter office, may be gathered from inspecting the fol lowing authentic summary of business for a complete period of nine years Enottrance Noticto. ?Legal Noticto.

At this present moment, the Protector Fire-office is a fresh instance of disappointment to a very numerous Proprietary, holding Shares to the amount of Five Million of Capital, and the wreck of its business is finding shelter with the Sun, Norwich Union, Plicenik, Exchange and other Fire-offices. This is the result of a ten'years Establishment, and during the last year this Office paid to Government in Duty, £56, 676. In Liver pool, it had the benefit of being represented by three active, intelligent, and influential Agents, but even the high rates collected by these Gentlemen from our Merchants and Ware houseow ners, have not sufficied to uphold its prosperity. It is to be hoped, that the persons intending to. become Shareholders of the New Fire-office, will invite Mr. Boult to publish his own experience of the business, as the present and former agent for several London Fire-offices, and Place beyond doubt that our Merchants are overcharged, and that a Fire office in Liverpool must prove a capital speculation. The highly-respectable names of Directors can only be taken by the public as a gurantee of faithful management, but, beyond that, they possess not the power to create a remunerating business, where none exists. It has come to my ears that a certain knot of intended Shareholders have resolved to test the spell that hangs over a name, by demanding pledges from the Directors as to the annual amount of their patronage. The County of Lancaster has already its local Insurance office and influence concentrated in the Manchester Fire-office. The Ridings of Yorkshire have their local Fire-offices; and so has every important business-place in the land. Where, then, is a Liverpool Fire-office to look for Insurances with any chance of success ? I am, Sir, yours, &c. TRUTH-TELLER. YORKSHIRE FIRE & LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. Established 1824. PATRONS.

" These, 0 sinful pleasures, these are thy trophies—'tis thus co-operating with the foe of God and man, thou degradest hu man nature, and blasted] the opening prospects of human le - c A IfC:' • So said Professor Swedour, when he discovered his grand PANACEA fir this Complaint, The "Ifygean Pills." (then un known to the annals of medical discoveries,) as a specific reme dy to exterminate from the system, that intruder on the plea sures frequently imbibed in moments of inebriation, or thought lessness : never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which, they have been so long cele brated. The fame of these Pills thrOughout Germany, caused their speedy introduction into almost every country, and ail dresses were presented to the talented Professor Swedour who filled the chair at Leyden University, congratulatory of the cir cumstance. The certainty with which they were continually administered, can be attested by many thousands, in fact during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What Medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satis fa.tion. The flygran Pills root out every particle of the insid uous poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids, they not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the holy—expelling the grosser hu mours and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to con vince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers, they neither contain mercury or any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery — they require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. The Hyguan Pills may be depended upun as a cer tain cure by persons of either sex, in all stages of a certain dis ease, and that without producing the least inconvenience. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hvgean Pills, for when taken be fore the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, removing the complaint effectually and secretly. rhe deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor front the use of mercury, renders it im peratively necessary to caution the public against that danger ous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests by sea and land, and ought never to be . omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey : thefl'properties are such, that nether heat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent their due eff'e'cts on the constitution. • /and symptom lers arising from at No. 51, Seel r-street) in boxes at Dr. Daviesun atten4 daily at his residence,.

It is an extraordinary fact, and no less lamentable, that in this town (Woodbridge) there are 115 marriageable females of the highest respectability, from the blooming age of 22 to that period when "a lady's age becomes a questionable point," without helpmates. There are also no less than 52 widows, who it would be unfair to presume are not desirous again to enlist under the banners of Hymen, having once experienced the sweets of mat rimony. The number of widowers amount to only 17, and of bachelors to 32. So that, allowing each of these "to take unto himself a wife," 112 damsels would still be left "to waste their sweetness on the desert air," unless some amorous swains should condescend to take compassion and release them from their present state of "single blessedness."—Suffolk Chronicle. A CAPITA SPARROW BUTCH ER.—We learn front a country paper that a few days ago a person at Wiley, or Willy, in Wilts, laid a train of seeds on the snow for the purpose of at tracting sparrows and such small birds, They came as he ex pected; and, "with nothing but a corninon partridge gun," he valiantly took his stand agam3t the said sparrows, and got three shots at them through a hole in the barn door. "At the first shot he picked up 95 dead 'uns ; 153 at the second; and 68 at the third, making 316 at three shots, to say nothing of the wounded that hopped away !" some hundreds of them perhaps, very handsomely mangled, and they may be many days a dying; but that's their look out and not ours, as the Battersea pigeon. manglers say. As a pendant to the above extraordinary feat we Lind in the saute paper the following pathetic announce ment:—" A monument is preparing to the memory of the late Mr. Joseph Manton, the celebrated gun-maker, who was bu ried, last July, in the cemetery at Kensington. Several epi ,taphs have been prepare/1 Fry -h-is-late-• rat mars, -at• the. request' or his family and sporting friends, and the one - chosen is the fol. lowing, by Col. I'. Hawker In memory of Mr. Joseph. • Manton, who died. universally• regretted, on the 29th day of June, 1835, aged 69.' " Cunfous FEATS.—In 1553 the following extraordinary ex hibition was performed in the preSence of Queen Mary, in her passage through London to Westminster. It is thus described by old Raphael Holinshed, in his " Chronicle,'' printed 1755. " When shoe didd come to Sainet. Paule'schurchyarde, agaynst the schoole, Maister Haywood sat in a pageant under a vine, and made to her an oration in Latine; and then there was one Peter, a man of Holland, who didd stand upon the weathercoeke of St. Paule's steeple, holdying a streamer in Isis handes of tive vardes long, and waving, thereof. Hee sometimes stood on one }'cote and shook the other, and then hee kneeled on his knees, to the yetis grate marvel of al the people. Hee bad made two seaffoldes under him—one above the ctoss, having torches and streamers sett upon it, and another over the ball of the cross, likewise sett with streamers and torches, which could not tonne, the wind was so greate." Our chronicler further in forms Its that " Peter didd have xvi ponndes xiii shillings and iiii pence g iven to him by the citie of London for his costes and pains, and for al his stuffe." PA LM SUN DA Y.—We find, on reference to an ancient black Domini 1530, Cardinal Wolsev. letter Chronicle, that " Anne at Peterborough Abbey, upon Paltne Sunday, did bears his palme, and wente in procession with ve monks setting forth the Divine service rvght honourablie, wvth such singing menne as he did then have there of his ovine. MARY ANN CLA RK.—Mr. James Clark, the husband ofthe late notorious Mary Ann Clark, died on the 9th ult., at the house of Mr. Sutherland, of Bvlbstcr, parish of Wattin, in the county of Caithness. It is unnecessary to allude to the conspicuous part which Mrs. Mary Ann Clark acted during the trial of his Royal Highness the late Duke of York. Mr. Clark had re sided in the county of Caithness for about 2(1 years; but owing to his retired habits, the circumstance of his being the husband of Mary Ann Clark was not known even to many in the imme diate neighbourhood orhis place of residence. A sate of money was regularly transtnitted from London to defray Mr. Clark's exper.ses ; but hitherto no clue has been discovered as to the motives which could' have induced him to take up his abode in Caithness. He had for some time been addicted to intempe rate habits, which, together , r;th the severe domestic misfortunes he had been subjected to, uad visibly affected bis mind. Mr. Clack was by trade a tinsmith, but he had discontinued his business from tinw of his going to Caithness. Several hooks wei'e found in his possession. in which was written the name of " M•4ry. Aeir C;aik," sol , posed to he in hot own hand writing. ~~ ~t. 4 TO CORRESPONDENTS We. regret that we cannot make room for the letter of VIATog before Tuesday. Eiberpool ,Stantiarb. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1836. Demerara papers to the 13th February reached us yes terday. They are chiefly occupied with complaints re specting the inefficiency of the police establishment of the colony, and the increase of crime among the negroes, whose notions of meum and tuum appear to be growing : more and more obscure and indefinite. This newly , Created race of freemen, emboldened perhaps by their elevation to that rank in' cit'ilixed life, rob on the high way at noon-day instead of being content with the commission of petty larcenies in the night season. " The . freebooter's maxim,— the good old rule, the simple plan" —says the Guiana Chronicle, "is paramount among us now, and, therefore, when more than every second apprentice iu town cannot discriminate betweert his own and his neighbour's property, it seems to us a work of very great folly for the robbed in minority to op pose the robbers in majority—it would, we think, be bet ter policy in thein i to swim with the tide, and make com mon cause with their depredators--for even if they did, the next vice-regal speech would still compliment the cOlony on the decrease of crime." Jamaica papers have been received in London to the 2Sth February, ours only reach 'to the 20th. The fol lowing extract is taken rrbm the Despatch of the 27th. " It is reported that the assembly will be convened on the day to which it is prolongueil—the Bth of March, for the despatch of public business; but how Lord Sligo is to meet his friends. the members, we are wholly at a loss to imagine: but we say this in truth and sincerity—that we shall not envy his lordship the feelings which he must entertain on the occasion. Isis lordship with that chivalrous feeling for which he is so cele brated, dares not, we think succumb to about forty West Indian gentlemen, who have, in the plentitude of their authority as the representatives of the people, ferretted out and exposed some mistakes which appeared in his Excellency's correspondence with tha Colonial °Tice. Of Lord Sligo personally, we shall say nothing ; hut we cannot help lamenting, that as the King' s representative, he has been seduced by his toadies, to represent our condition so differently to what it really is. We grieve for this, for the future fame of our governor. We grieve for it much more sincerly on public grounds, that his 1113je5! . :,-'s repre sentative will for ever remain charged with deceiving his royal master, our beloved King, who has been among us, and who, to this hour cherishes a fond recollection of Jamaica. We feel this deeply, and we are delighted to find that misrepresentation, coining from whatever quarter it may, is now understood in England, and duly appreciated; as well as those who have bpen the cause of our ruin, wish to cloak their infamous plans for the miserable consideration of holding office a few month' longer. " It was reported very currently in town yesterday, that Lord Sligo was preparing for his departure for England. Wf o hope it is the case, as we are anxious to be able to wish his Excellency a eery pleasant passage from our shores, and a happy m eeting with Buxton and the "other AldermanburY • • • *,, The Lord Bishop of JAMAICA, arrived at Barbadoes, in the lleynard Packet, and was at the last accounts re ceived from his lordship waiting to return to Jamaica ir► one of the ships of War. The Commons, as we expected, have passed the Trish municipal reform bill by a majority of 260 to 199. It would be a waste of time and patience to call attention to the arguments employed in the debate ; for on this, a 1 . on almost every occasion since the - passing of the Roman Catholic bill, the House of Commons, has'evinoed tilt; utmost contempt for reason, .poliey',' consistency, and itiirf - By the vote of Monday night we consider Ireland con veyed in fee and settled in tail, as the lawyers say, ay effectually and to all intents and purposes upon D A NIEV O'CONNF.LL and his priests, and their helm male, as that portion of the late united Netherlands, called Belgium , . was transferred from WILLIAM of Holland to the Prinde , of SAXE COBURG, late of Claremont House; or, iA other words, from the protestants of Holland to the re bellious papists of French Flanders. We hope there i 5 nothing ominous in the analogy of the two royal nartie s, and that what the one WILLIAM lost to conciliate popery in the north, the other WILLIAm is not doomed to lose in the west. At any rate, come what may, we are pre pared, and have long been prepared, for the.worst.
