MEITING •T HAVAWT.—.A. Meeting was held n
the Bear Inn, in Havant, on Friday lad, to take into
confide, ation the propriety of extending the Surrcy
Iron Railway, to Portfmouth and London. Anu 7n- .1
ber of Gentlemen rcfident in the three counties e •
Hants, Suffer, and Surrey, were prefect; and ti,.
comparative advantages, together with the compara,
tive prafticability of the two plans of faciliating the I 'pt
tranfport of goods, viz. by a canal, or a railway,
were maturely examined. It was the general opi.
nion of the Meeting. that however advantageou• a s
canal may be in dill'iCts to which an inland navi
tion is applicable; yet in this line of country it wou
be obviously attended with fuch incalculable '
ties and ezpence in the making, and with fach hazards
in the maintaining, that it would wit be a fafe (pecu-
lation to attempt its execution. Whereas an Lon
Railway may to a certainty be completed, upon an
expence previoully afcertained to a (billing, and the
maintenance of which would be fubjeCt to no impedi-
ment from the variation of feafons. They were mfr. e
confirmed in this opinion, from the very report which
bad been made in favour of the Canal, in which tLe
able, Engineer bad candidly acknowledged the enor-
mous ezpence, and the many obftacles that occurred
by :he high hills, the deep rallies, the porous foil, and
the want of water in the line through which a Cartel
mull pars. The very forvey of the country, &e. had
colt 47001. and the rough (ketch of the expence
amounted to Roo,coool.'
It was queftionable whether the commerce of this
part of the kingcbm would be futficient to juflify the
expenditure of fo large a capital as mull be funk in
making a Canal, though it would amply warrant half
of the expenditure in making a Railway.
The comparative expedition of conveyance was a •
material confideration—the diftance by a Railway
from Loildon to Portfmouth would be only 95 miles;
and as carriages would travel at the rateof four miles
in an hour, they might pats from London to Portf-
mouth. or vice vertu, its z+ hours.
The length by a Canal would be tt z miles. Boats.
including the time of puffing the Locks, would not
move at a greater rate than two miles in an hour,
and adding the delay in puffing through a tunnel of
four miles in length, and the average time 101 l in •
waiting at the ends of a Tunnel until Boats gone be.
