At a charge of id. per, on per mile on an ave.
rage, the above tonnage will produce, for the
whole 44 miles of Canal, a gross revenue of £200,846 12 4
Add a tonnage rate, to be levied on all vessels
taking refuge in, of using the proposed har-
bour, and also on vessels proceeding along
the Canal, to Bridgewater and the river Par-
set. The amount annually from these sources
may, on an average of years, be taken at . 10,000 0 0

Clear annual income arising from the Canal
and liarbour6, and applicable to a dividend
among the Proprietors, of about 12 per cent. 210,846 12 3
N.B. The expenses of management, repairs, and every other
contingency, will be provided for by the tonnage arising on the in-
ternal traffic on the Canal.,
In the above calculation mo allowance is made for the vast in-
crease of trade which is annually taking place in South Wales, and
Ito which this undertaking will most essentially contribute ; nor is'
auy tonnage reckoned on coal brought from Wales to London : the
Stone Coal and Cuim are, however, already used there, and on the
East coast of England ; and there is every reason to expect that the
common Welch Gal will find its way to the London market, when
a safe and regular mode of transit shall be secured.

The consequent increase of trade and manufacture in the fine
and populous country through which the Canal will pass, presents
a prospect of additional revenue to a very considerable extent ; and
in the great Northern Canals, which have proved so immensely
productive, that increase has been the great source of profit. It
should here be noticed, that a recent negociation will allow the.
Corporation, at a very moderate expense, to make a branch Ship
Canal to the populous and wealthy town of Taunton, and that a
junction with the Grand Western Canal will, by the same means,
be effected.
It should also be noticed, that although in the event of a war, the.
transit through the Canal will be very materially augmen:ed, the
additional income to be derived from that event has not been taken
into consideration in the above estimates.
The Committee, therefore, conceived that this undertaking cannot
be considered of a delusive or even of a doubtful and hazardous
character, but a measure affording to the Subscribers every reason-
able assurance of an ample present profit, and the additional pro-
mise of an income increasing with the advance of national prosperity.
The capital of X 1,750,009 is directed in the Act to be raised, by
Shares of £lOO each. No Shareholder will be liable beyond his
Shares, and his liability to future Calls, in respect of such Shares,
will cease immediately on a transfer; the Act directs, that two
months at the least shall intervene between each Call, and that ho
Call shall exceed Five per Cent.
A General Meeting of the Subscribers will take place on the
18th of August, to.elect Directors, and make the necessary ar-
rangements for the commencement of the work ; and the; Corn-
miuee request that all communications, in the interval, may, be ad-
dressed to Messrs. King and Lukin, 5, Gray's Inn-sqvire ; and
Mr. Clarke, Chard, Sotnerst.
