!.national undertaking. The subscriptions already given in
amounted to 370,000/. which was put down under circumstances
of some doubt as to the practicability of the thing being carried
into effect. Agreeably to the estimate of the expenses made by
Mr. Telford, there still remained a vast sum to be subscribed
before they should be enabled to go to Parliament for assist-
ance; but when the profits likely to arise from the transit of
goods through those populous districts which the Canal was
proposed to be cut in was taken into consideration, he had tio
hesitation in saying, that a much larger sum than that required
would be subiFibed withirk4he given time. ^ ftcothen proixiscd
the third Resolution.
The Hes% Dr. PA.t.raza. stated that the great Landholders
through whose ground the Canal was to pass, were perfectly
disposed to forward the prqjem, from a reliance that it would
be for the public good.
31r. PIKE, a Gentleman 87 years old, who had commented
the Rroject 4.1 years ago, said it would produce 40 per cent. 10
the zubscribe:s.
.Mr. BROOKE thought but a few years would elapse beforele
would produce at least 201. per cent. ; but he thought theranall
sum already subscribed proved that an adequate sum could
not be raised before Parliament met. He therefore submitted
that it would be prudent to postpone the project until after next
Swisions. .

Mr. Por.Locx said, the reason they had not subscriptions
crowding in upon them was, that the public knew notitingsbout
the matter, and could not until Mr. Telford's Report Was
known. It would be found a matter of difficulty by anti bye to
get held of a share.
A Gehtleman objected to the Canal, inasmuch as it would
render his house and pleasure grounds useless.
The CHAIR 3r.sx said that every effort should bo made to
give as little inconvenience as possible.
Mr. BOSANQCET, the banker,, said there was now "'J':
deal of floating capital, fir which no more than 33 per
could be got. It could not be better employed than an tlti •
portent speculation.
All the Resolutions were agreed to, and the utmost confitl,.,c
of success expressed.
