LETTER frbrn Mr. RENNIE, Ptiarttunicat-
jug his. sentiments on. a Survey of the proposed Line,
being read, it was
Resolved Unanitnottsly;
That it appears to this,illeefing„ that the proposed High
Peak (unction Canal will bp highly beneficial, to the Public
in Wining a short communication by, water between Man-
chester and the Eastern-Counties, and'an additional cheap
ceinniunication between Manchester and London, and other
pat ts of the Kingdom. That it ,wou id be produdive of great
advantages to the Proprietors of the Canals with whien it
will -communicate, by rendering some of them thoroughfares,
which have hitherto been confined some
a limited local trade.
and vy le.,iViNg to all the privilege of an increased general
commerce. Tha: it will be attended with incaleufable
%Bakes to the ConAry through which it will pass, by the
establishment of manufactories on its unoccupied streams,
and cite agricultural improvement of its barren. wastes, and
by. aftUrding an easy transit for its valuable mineralslbevery
part of the Kingdom ; and that on a Moderate-estimato,-an
income must, immediately after its completion, arise from
its tonnages, which will very amply reward. the Under-
takers.
Meeting having been informed that further Surreys
were then waking on tne Line of .the proposed Canal, to as-
certain whether some rizvidtion from tne proppsecl line might
not be inade,which would reduce the expense of forming the
at,ti-render it still amore Commodious to the Public ;
and such contemplated deviation not having been inserted in,
the Plan deposited with the Clerk. of the Peace, so a::'tb be
included in the proposed Act of Parliament, if the .same
be applied for in the present' Session, it was
•
That the application.to Parliament 43e postponed until the
.next Session, and that the Surveyors proceed with all pus=
sinle dispatch to ascertain the best Line," and that -an esti-
mate-be made of the saving of ex,pence and other advantages
likely to arise Irons any deviation they may pro-
pose
That this Meeting be adjourned, subject to the call of the
