Pia,—l pledge myself, in the most unqualified manner, to prove
the satisfaction of any gentleman who may favour me with a
all, that unless the contract entered into by subscriber@ is so framed
at to bind them, their heirs, executors, and administrators, for all
_is instalments of their shares, notwithstanding a transfer of them
bore the whole of the calls due thereon shall have been made,
such contract is not in compliaree with the standing order of the
Hanse of Lords, No. 192. It is unnecessary to controvert the
pinions of tl.o Attorney-General and the other Barrivers, eon.
raked by Messrs. King and Lukin, so fur as they go, and I should
sot presume to do it; but it is quite clear that the !louse of Lords
will (if they allow the present contract to stand, and its effect be as
wetendcd for,) insist upon the insertion of a clause in the Bill,
sundering the contractors permanently liable, and whether such
wotractors are liable, as the deed is se present framed, is of little
weesquence. because they will undoubtedly be so when thisßill
paws into a law._

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.
STIL—An article has been published, Intending to show that the
!allowing letter of Messrs. Langtry and Co., eminent merchants at
Belfast, does not prove Captain Nicholls's theory of a saving of
Marren days on each voyage by this Canal, nor the other bendits
relied on by the promo:crs of the measure. Let the letter again
'peak foe itself:—

Belfast, April 9,182 a.
“111.,—1n reply to your request that we would state our opinion
as to the advantage to be derived by this part of the country from
tte proposed Canal from Stolford to Beer, which is to connect the
11Mtul and English Channels, we beg to acquaint you, that we
rsosider no advantage can accrue from the projected scheme, either
is a saving of time, a reduction of freight, or a saving of lives, by
avoiding toe dangerous passage round the Land's End. As pro.
Fitton of nine vessels trading between this port and London, we
letthat, during the last four years, the passage to and from lion.
duff, winter and summer, has been effected on an average in nine
days ; and we believe that the strong currents and other unfavour.
,b 4 circumstances of the Bristol Channel—the delay of passing a
easel of 150 to 200 tons through • Canal of considerable lengt't,
vuls many locks—together with the occasional Impedimenta of
Croug"it or frost, would cause more time to be occupied iu that than
the present passage.
A. the passage through the Canal would most probably con.
nine more dim, the freight would consequently be higher, inde.
Pendent of the ingress* necessary for defraying the vessel's expenses
trough the Canal, which would be my considerable.
" With regard to the swing of lives, we can only say, that dor.
tithe last four years In which dine vessels have left London and
Belfast, once a week, we have not yet lost one, nor have any of
tan been on shore on the coasts of Devon or Cornwall, so that no
inns have been lost by thous there.
Wcre the Canal open at present, we would not send any of our
"ends through it, for the foregoing reasons.
" We are, Sir, your most obedient servants,
