PROSPECTUS.

T is proposed to apply to Parliament, in the next session,
Ito incorporate a Company for the purpose of constructing
a Navigable Canal from the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal,
year Altrincham, to the Middlewich Branch of the Ellesmere
and Chester Canal, near its junction with the Trent and
Mersey Canal, at Middlewich, in the county palatine of
Chester, to be called "THE MANCHESTER AND
BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION CANAL."

The proposed Canal will be sixteen miles in length, and
and forms the shortest side of a riangle • the existing route,
by the Bridgewater and the Grand Trunk Canals, forms the
other two sides, and these being together thirty-four miles in
length, it is obvious that the proposed Canal will effect a saving
of eighteen miles of distance. To this must be added the
important advantage of improved construction.
Among the principal objects to be attained by the forma-
tion of this Canal, are the following
lst,—lt will complete the best and most direct ()anal route
from Manchester to the Staffordshire Iron and Coal District,
and to Birmingham.
2ndly,—lt will afford an essential improvement (already
too long delayed) in the water communication between Man-
chester, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Eastern Counties,
and London.

3rdly,—ft will establish a direct line of Canal between
Manchester and the Mines, Quarries, IronworkS, and Agri-
cultural Districts of Shropshire and North Wales.
Mthly,—lt will open a much shorter Canal Navigation
between Manchester and the City and Port of Chester.
sthly,—lt will give to the town of Knutsford, and the
highly productive agricultural part of Cheshire. through
whict the Canal will run, the cheapest means of intercom-
munication, and of access to the Manchester Markets, and
Districts abounding in Lime and Coal.
It is proposed that the Canal shall be constructed upon the
most improved principles; and in reference to this object
Mr. Provis has laid down the line and formed his calculations.
Double towing paths throughout. the whole line, walled
sides to the waterway, no contraction of the width of water-
way at bridges, and locks that can be passed in the shortest
time, nre some of the intended improvements. These will
not only tend to lessen the cost of future repairs, and save
time and risk to the Carrier, but the Canal will be adapted
for increased rates of speed either by horse or steam power.
In its direction the Canal will be nearly straight, and in
its levels there will he only the general fall of the country.
It will avoid all parks and ornamental grounds, will pass
over land of only ordinary value, and be encumbered with
no physical difficulties.
It is an extraordinary fact that no Canal has yet been
made for the accommodation of Manchester in its southern
traffic, and consequently the trade has been compelled to
adopt the circuitous, dilatory, and expensive routes intended
for other purposes. The proposed Canal will remedy the
evil, and give to Manchester a direct communication with
the central and southern districts of the kingdom.
REVENTYE OF T'HE CANAL.

According to the evidence on traffic given before a Com-
mittee of the House of Lords on the Cheshire Junction
Railway Bill, in 18.3 G, it was proved that the is ater carriage
between Manchester and the following places, viz., Birming-
ham, West Bromwich, Wednesbury, Worcester, Gloucester,
Wolverhampton, Dudley, Bilstoii, Tipton, Stourbridge,
Stourport, Shropshire, Shrewsbury, South Wales, the POt-
teties, Newcastle, Stone, Stafford, Nantwieh, Chester, Mid-
dlevrich, Sandbach, Northwich, and Staffordshire, amounted
annually to 361,095 tons. The trade direct from Manchester
to London is not included in the foregoing, but is itself
nearly as great in amount ;—or say together about 7(X),000
tons. These soirees alone, if calculated at the moderate
tonnage rate of 13/4d. per ton per mile, would produce £70,00
per annum, and if for this be deducted £5OOO for repairs and
maintenance, there would remain a clear surplus revenue o;
profit of thirteen per cent. per annum upon the expended
capital.

it is, however, held by those conversant in the traffic of
Manchester and the surrounding districts, that much of the
Yorkshire and northern trade will be passed through the
Proposed Canal on its way to London and the south. This
hai not been included in the foregoing statement; hut if,
added to the local traffic and that general increase of com-
mercial intercourse consequent upon increased facilities, it
may not be unreasonable to assume the probable profit at
twenty per cent. per annum.
Applications for Shares, in the following form, will be
received at the Company's Office, No. 90, Fountain-street,
Manchester.

Weakness, arising from early abuses, so that all persons can
obtain an immediate Cure, with case, secrecy, and safety'.
It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the
Venereal Disease lwing to the unskilfulness of illiterate
men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin
the constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the
head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears,
deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin hones, till
at length a general debility and decay of the constitution
ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread-
ful stitTerimrs.

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s.
Dd. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re-
meily ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of
venereal diseases, gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, semina-
weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum-
bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and
other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing
a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small
pill for a dose, with ease, secresy, and safety. The certainty
with which they are continually administered can be attested
by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every parti-
cle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole
mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno-
vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex-
pelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and
imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto-
nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer-
cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the
slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of
diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a corn-
plete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any
period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well
to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before
the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre-
ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu-
dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and
indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only
occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail
on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but
weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of
imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver-
sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or
deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces-
sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of
the constitutio❑ become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and
speedy restorati n to sound and vigorous health.
PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for
the certain and effectual ren.edy of secondary symptoms,
venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat,
diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and
glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and all
diseases arising from an impure state of the blood.

FAMILY BOTTLE.
MOXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN
APERIENT. The Magnesian having longsustained
the character of the very best Family Medicine, and many
individuals having experienced the advantages of a steady
perseverance in the use thereof, has induced the proprietor
to meet such demand by a larger bottle. The Family Bottle,
price Ils., (with a ground-glass stopper,) contains the quan-
tity of five of 2s. Od. size, which is a saving of at least twenty
per cent. to the purchaser.
This mild, agreeable, and efficient purgative, is universally
approved and recommended by the faculty, as the best cor-
rective of disordered state of the stomach, head, and bowels,
and the safest remedy for gout, piles, fistula, gravel, &c. and
for obviating the i,ijurious effects of the stronger drastic pur-
gatives: for this latter purpose it should be taken the morning
following. If frequently taken during the heat of summer
and autumn, no medicine is better calculated to prevent or
speedily remove those dangerous disorders cholera morbus,
dysentery, diarrhoea, and other troublesome affections of the
bowels.

Perusal of the following letter is particularly requested :
" To Mr. Moxon,—Dsar sir, I am quite out of your invalua-
ble medicine, the Magnesian Aperient: six months ago I
recommended it to a gentleman who had been a dreadful
sufferer from the gout, he informs me since he took it regu-
larly he has not had a single attack or even the slightest
symptom. Let me recommend you to impress upon the mind
of all sufferers from morbid sensibility of the stomach and
bowels, the necessity, the absolute necessity, of taking a tea-
spoonful of it regularly every morning; taken in the manner

I have described, it never interferes with the avocationsof the
day. and it invariably creates an elasticity of mind, and a flow
of spirits' which gives a zest to every enjoyment, besides it
enables the invalid to enjoy many of those luxuries with im-
punity, from which he must otherwise be debarred, and
without which life is irksome and distressing. The moment
I get out of bed I take a tea-spoonful of your Panacea, win-
ter and summer, (during this severe storm I have never
omitted it,) and instead of producing any cold sensation in
the stomach, it invariably creates a genial flow, a pleasurable
warmth, and I go down stairs to breakfast with :in appetite
that would do no discredit to a plough boy; and I now enjoy
a state of health to which I have for years been a stranger.
Will you have the kindness to send in a large bottle, packed
in a box, directed for me, Fleece Inn, Darlington.
