Dartford, the chief market place of the rich agricultural district
of West Kent, and the most considerable manufacturing town in
the vicinity of the metropolis, possessing, besides its well-known
gunpowder mills, numerous other mills for the manufaeture of
paper, flour, oil, mustard, &c., also extensive steam engine works,
is In a direct line butts° miles distant from the Thames, and yet has
cl
remained to this eith out any better communication with it by
Water than is afforded by a shallow and sinuous creek of twice the
length, navigable only about the time of high water, and then fornone
but craft of the smallest burden. The same is the case with the adja-
cent town of Crayford, so fast rising into commercial importance
by means of its extensive silk and cotton print works. it is now
Proposed to connect these two towns with the Thames by a ship
canal, capable of admitting both sailing and steam vessels of 410
tons burden at all times of the tide—to convert Dartford and Cray-
ford in effect into sea-port towns. The distinguished engineer who
has been employed to make the necessary surveys estimates that the
dwork may be executed for 65,0001., and, from the reputation he
saervedly possesses for the accuracy of his estimates, great reliance
lY be placed on the expenditure not exceeding that sum.e
time required for the execution of the entire work will not, the

excavations.

ex disadvantages of the navigation, amounts to between
