AT a MEETING of the COAL and IRON-MASTERS,
held at the HOTEL, DUDLEY, on FRIDAY, the 12th 01
February, 1836, to take into Consideration a proposed NEW
LINE of CANAL from BIRMINGHAM to LONDON,
MICHAEL GRAZEBROOK, Esq., in the Chair,
Mr. DUGDALE HOUGHTON attended and laid before the
Meeting a Plan of a Line of Canal proposed to be made
between the Stratford-on-Avon Canal and the Regent's
Canal at London ; and it appearing from Statements made
to the Meeting, that besides the great advantage of avoid-
ing the passage of 124 locks, the proposed line would effect
a saving between Birmingham and Loudon by Canal Con-
veyance of 36-1- 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—that in respect to
Coal 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 th_e_proposeclanal would
afford the best and most direct line of Water C muuication
practicable between the Midland District and t e Metropolis,
y
mii
and by the communication it would open wit other Canals,
would be the means of establishing, via Simi ham and Wol-
verhampton, a line of Canal Conveyance bet en London and
Manchester and Liverpool decidedly superior o 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 Manufacturing, Commercial, and Agricultural In-
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-
'Lament for powers to carry the plan into effect.

CAPITAL, £20,000, IN SHARES OF £3 EACH.

WIXPEII I ENCE has fully developed the advantages which
411 arise from Joint Stock Companies, being formed to carry
on undertakings requiring an extensive Capital.
A portion of the dealers in Flint Glass, an others, having
met and taken into their consideration the i dequacy of the
supply of Glass by the existing establishment , the great profit
derivable from its manufacture, and the we -known fact, that
although a considerable reduction in the has taken place,
the public have derived no benefit from it, e article being sup-
plied at the same prices as heretofore, ha deemed the present
opportunity a fitting one for the establishment of a Company to
be called "THE LIVERPOOL FLINT GLASS COMPANY."

'hen the extent of the Export Trade—the evils arising from
the inadequacy of supply, and the high prices before alluded to
(which must bring in the competition of other nations) are con-
sidered the importance and utility of such an establishment will
be readily granted, as well as that it will yield a liberal return
to the Shareholders for their investment. •

It is intended that the Company shall consist of 4000 Shares
of £5 each, to be called for at such time as the Directors (to be
chosen by the Proprietors at a General Meeting) shall appoint.
That a limited number of Shares only shall be allotted in the
first instance, and the remainder shall be retained until the Di-
rectors be appointed, who will issue them as thay may judge
conducive to the best interests of the Company.
That One Shilling per Share be paid on allotment to defray
the expenses of forming the Company.
That the first instalment shall be £1 per Share, and be paid
within fourteen days after the appointment of Directors.
That the remainder of the Calls be made at such times as the
Directors shall think fit on giving one month's previous notice,
and they shall not exceed.£l per Share at any one time.
That every holder of 20 Shares, or upwards, be eligible as a
Director,. his qualification to cease upon disposing of his Shares.
That the holder of 5 Shares be entitled to one vote, 20 Shares
two votes, 50 Shares, or upwards, three votes; each Share-
holder may vote by himself or by his proxy, such proxy being a
Shareholder.

That as soon as 2000 Shares are subscribed for, the Company
shall be considered as formed, and a Meeting called for the pur-
pose of electing a Board of Directors, to consist of 5 Share-
holders, possessing not less than 25 Shares each, who shall con-
tinue in office one year—one-third retiring each year, who shall
be eligible to be re-elected.
That the Deed of Settlement shall contain every provision
necessary for the efficient management of the Company, and
the security of individual Shareholders.
Applications for Shares to be made to Mr. COGLAN, Share-
broker, Exchange-street East, and to Mr. Evarts, Solicitor,
South Crescent Chambers, Lord-street.
