AT a MEETING or the COAL and IRON-MASTERS.
held at the ILOTEL, DUDLEY, on Fatu&s, the 12th of
February, 1836, to take into Consideration a proposed .NEW
LINE of CANAL from BIRMINGHAM to LONDON,

MICHAEL GRAZ EBROOK, Esq., iu the Chair.

Mr. DUGOALE 11(,L;GirroN attended and laid before the
Meeting a Plan of a Liue of Canal proposed to be made
between the Stratford-on•Ayon Canal and the Regent's.
Canal at London ; and it appearing from Statarents made
to the Meeting, that besides the great advantage of avoid-
ing the passage 0112:1 locks,, the proposed line would effect
a saving between Birmingham and London by Canal COU-
veyance of 36 miles—that the Reduction or Saving in the
freight of Iron to London by such line would amount, ac-
cording to the calculation of experienced Carriers, to full
Fifty per cent. on the present charge—thi in respect to
Coat and Coke the advantages would be e ally great, and
that the Saying in the freight of Manuf• tured Goods and
General Merchandise from Birming a to London, and
vice versa, would amount to Twenty Wings per ton—
RESOLVED,
That it appears to this Meeting that the proposed Canal would
afford the best and most direct line of Mater Communication
practicable between the Midland District and the Metropolis,
and by the communication it would open with other Canals,
would be the means of establishing, via Birmingham and Wol-
verhampton, a line of Canal Conveyance between London and
Manchester and Liverpool decidedly superior to that now ex-
isting; that such Communication would benefit in a highly im-
portant degree the Mining Districts of Staffordshire, Worces-
tershire, and Shropshire, and be productive of immense acivan-
tages to the Manufacturing, Commercial, and Agricultural lu- '
terests of the kingdom at large.
That the Subscribers to the Survey of the proposed Canal be
requested to convene a Meeting of those desirous of promoting
the undertaking; for. the purpose of forming a Company, and
taking all necessary measures preparatory to applying to Par-
liament for powers to carry the plan into effect.
