AT a MEETING of the COAL and IRON-MASTERS,
held at the .HOl3l, :DUDLEY, on Fe WAY, the 12.fh,Ar
February, 1836, to take into Consideration it proposed NEAV
LINE of CANAL from BIRMINGHAM to LONDON
MICHAEL GRAZEBRUOK, Egg., in the Ct' ,
Mr. DcGoatAt HouGivroN art,nded and laid ' ore the,
Meeting a Plan of a Line Of Canal proposed be male
between the Stratford-ou•Avon Canal and e Regent's
Canal at London ; and it appearing from S einents made
to the Meeting, that besides the great v• tage of avoid-
ing the passage of 124 locks, the propo e lino would effect
a saving between Birmingham and 144 on by Canal Con-
veyance of 361 miles;—that the Reim ion 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—that in respect to
Coat and Coke the advantages would be equally great, and
that the Saving in the freight of Manufactured Goods and
General Merchandise from Birmingham to London; and
vice versa, would amount to Twenty Shillings per ton—

RESOLVED,
That it appears to this Meeting that the
_proposed Canal would
afford the best and most.direet line of Water Communication
practicable between the Mr!'land District and the Metropolis,
and by the communication it would open with other Canals,
would be the means of establishing, via Biliningham 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 advan-
tages to the Misnutacturing, Commercial, and Agricultural In-
terests of the kingdoin at large..
That the Subscribers to the Survey of the proposed Canal be
requested to convene a Ileeting of those desirous of promoting
the undertaking, for the purpose of forming a Cirnpany, and
taking all necessary in .astires preparatory to applying to Par-
liament for powers to carry the plan into effect.
