RAILWAY AND CANAL CONVEYANCE BE-
TWEEN LIVERPOOL AND LONDON.
JOHN KENWORTHY and CO., in acknowledging their
obligations to the Public for the uniform and steady sup-
port they have long continued to receive as Canal Carriers,
have it now in their power to announce, that they have com-
pleted an arrangement with the Grand Junction and London
and Birmingham Railway Companies, by which they will be
enabled, on and after MONDAY, the 20th of May, to offer
their Friends, through the medium of their own conveyance
on the Rails, those advantages of increased desvatch and cer-
tain Athe transit of Goods between LIVERPOOL and
„ th,vtiferst

LO.
Whilst disclaiming any thing like an intention or wish to
enlist in their favour the sympathies of the Public, by a dis-
paragement of, or imputation upon, other parties, J. K. and
Co. do think it due to themselves, and to those numerous
Friends whose unswerving support they continued to receive
at a ,time when they could not claim it upon equal grounds
with others, to give thus pnblicly an explanation of circum-
stances, which otherwise might subject them to a charge of
indifferance or neglect in not having earlier availed themselves
of, and thereby secured to their own peculiar supporters
whatever advantages may be thought to accrue from a Rail-
way Conveyance.
It will be sufficient to state, that, early in January last,
immediately after the opening of the London and Birming-
ham Railway for the Carriage of Goods through, J. K. and
, Co. made application to that, and also to the Grand Junc-
tion Company, to be admitted as Carriers on the Rails, on
the same footing in regard to terms and conditions as they
understood had been agreed upon between the two Companies
and other Carriers. The substance of the answer to this
application was, that the London and Birmingham Company
were not at that time in a situation to transact a greater
amount of Business than was then upon their line, but that,
so soon as they were in a condition to do so, the Rails would
be thrown open to all Carriers.
Having recently had notice that such was the fact, .1. K.
and Co. have since lost no time in completing the necessary
arrangements preparatory to a commencement of business
on the Rails, and they shave now only to repeat, that, on
and after MONDAY, the 20th instant, they will be prepared
to receive and forward by Railway, with all due care and
despatch, any Goods intended for that conveyance with which
they may be intrusted.
Fly Boats to London every evening, as usual.
For further particulars, in regard either to the Railway or
Canal Conveyance, J. K. and Co. beg to refer the Public to
their offices, Duke's Dock, Liverpool, and Axe Inn, Alder-
manbury, London. JOHN DEAKIN, Agent.
