THE REGENT'S CANAL.

This grand undertaking, so advantageous to-
wards fdrtl►ering the commercial interests of the
City of London and .its environs, respecting the
facility of an inland conveyance from the Thames,
crossing the commercial-road through Islington
(where part of the channel of the New River
has been turned to accommodate its progress),
con►inuing its line through part of the Hampstead-
road to the Regent's Park, to its union with the
Grand Junction Canal, is advancing with such
rapidity towards a conclusion, that in less titan a
twelvemonth, it is said, it will be perfectly navi-
gable and complete for all the purposes of trade.
Numerous bridges have been erected over its long
hoe of connection. The tunnel, which is-finished,
is viewed as an object of much curiosity. It is
three quarters of a mile in length, commencing at
the bilge bill contiguous to White Conduit-
hoose. The tunnel is of an oval form of arch-
work, and composed of bricks. No lamps are
necessary, as sufficient day-light is seen through
it to enable the bargemen to make their way
without difficulty ; but it is too narrow lop the
use of their oats, and the bargemen, in conse-
quence, must lay on their hacks, and with moving
their feet upon the top of the !Untie!, make their
passage to the end, which is practicable and
easy. That the bargemen may not feel any in-
convenience or delay, occasioned by want of
water, a large engine, or niece of mechanism,
denominated a '' Feeder," is to be erec,ed -on
the Thames, calculated to furnish a sufficient !Alp-,
ply at the shortest notice.
