PROSPECTUS
Of a line of Navigation from Birmingham to London, commencing
at the StraOtd-on-Avon Canal in Warwickshire, and ending
at the Regent's Canal, London; to be called
THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM CANAL
NAVIGATION.
rIpHE great and leading objects of the proposed undertaking,
are—

First.—To effect the cheapest, and most direct practicable
line of water communication, between London and Birming-
ham, and the great mining districts of Staffordshire, Worces-
tershire, and Shropshire.
Second.—TO obtain, by the communication it will open with
the Regent, Stafford, Worcester, Birmingham, Birmingham
and Liverpool. Ellesmere and Chester, Trent and Mersey, and
Bridgewater Canals, the qtriektit4lieapest, and most conve-
nient line of canal conveyance befeween London, Birmingham,
Liverpool, and Manchester; also by a junction with the Oxford
Canal at Banbury, an improved communication to the city of
Oxford.

. Third.—To give the facilities and advantages of water con-
veyance, to the valuable and extensive districts through which
the proposed line of navigation is intended to be taken;—dis-
lricts, capable of great and rapid improvement, and to which
"'Ailing can so niateriallv contribute, as a cheap and direct
communication wiih the Metropolis, and the great manufac-
turing towns of Warwickshire and Staffordshire.
It must be evident, that the proposed undertaking embraces
°l)jects of the highest national importance, and cannot fail to
produce great and almost incalculable advantages, to the Agri-
cultural, Commercial, and Manufacturing interests of the.
Kingdom,
The extraordinary facility that thisline would give to London
and Liverpool, to he manufaciurers Manchester, Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, Dudley, Siourbridge, and Walsall, and to the
~...rroprietors of Mines and Works, in the counties of Stafford,
orcester, and Salop, must be obvious to the most superficial
nbierver.—Birmingharn and Wolverhampton, and the con-
aik'llons mineral districts, would then be situated about midway,
a the great throughfare water communicetion between London
and Liverpool, and London and Manchester, and as vessels
would be passing incessantly in each direction, the increased
facility and despatch could not but be productive of the highest
Ldvantages. The saving in distance by the proposed route will be
()t) "'lies, and the locks will be reduced from 172 to 49.
npi:he great feature of the proposed undertaking, is the opening
a cheap coMmunicatinn, between the Metropolis and the
great Coal Fields of Staffordshire and Worcestershire. In the
,ttaininent of this object, every inhabitant of London ought to
it.!el himself inteiested; experienceevery day furnishing addi-
'anal proofs that nothing but effective competition from the in-
terior of the kitigdom, can insure to the householders of London
a regular and steady supply of Coal at moderate prices. Per-
hps it is scarcely possible for the most sanguine mind, to form
Ra Idequate conception of the benefits that would result from
li:tiling the Midland Coal proprietor, to compete With the
,rthern proprietor, in supplying London with Coal; compete'
would be rendered impossible, combination frustiated, and
IT'en and active Conipetition.cOMPletely secured. By the pro-
sed Route Staffordshire Coal can be delivered in the City
in, at prices varying with quality, from 15s. to 20s. per ton.
With a view to render this concern as extensively useful as
l'rr?ssittle, the rates of tonnage will lie low, and thus command
rhaatrgg,rseat mass of business which invariably follows moderate
111:Inure and Road Materials will be permitted to pass at low
rites. Wharfa will be provided where the Canal ilwill intersect
thoroughfares, and every encouragement be afforded to
'Pe development of the energies of the districts through
tich the Canal will pass.
he The proposed navigation will possess all the improz4ments of the
wi7modern canals. Where tunnelling is necessary two tunnels,
argal
e l
tozving path under each, will be made ; the sides of the
will be walled ; and the greatest of all modern improve-
iin es, the double towing path, will be carried throughout the whole
. .
eonOvonfident in the superior cheapness and convenience of water
eyance, (particularly as regards raw materials and heavy rlModities), the promoters of this undertaking have no tresita-
,min submitting their plan to the public, in the face of the
theiro erous- railways now in course of formation; every day, in
rho judgment, furnishing further and satisfactory proof, that
Rivt'fr.h railway conveyance may be preferred for passengers,
traunislght goods that require dispatch and will hear high rates of
it, th great bulk of the trade of the country will still be
carriedh • htl
s. on t roug medium of cheap navigable communi-
Chn, •
t calculations as to the revenue being founded on indis-
:Putable data, the promoters of the measure have no hesitation
111 e.st.apting, that the prospect of remuneration is, in the highest
101-C
e. encouraging; and that, if due consideration be given
ricmerits of the proposed line, to the great extent and sim-
,ity of its levels, to the superiority it will possess in respect
ledistance and lockage, to the well ascertained fact that a full
lf) ql water cant be provided, the conclusion will be fully
%a
trianted, that in a short time after its completion, this really
d internal communication will yield such a return, as will
fill lisle it to he classed amongst the most productive and s'uccess-
-o,ihdertaking,s of the kind in the Kingdom. According to a
ipur
,lerate Estimate, full ten per cent. will be realized. By the
ho'?"sed route Goods will be delivered in London in thirty-two nets, ers, instoad
er tof
onseventy, by the existing route, the saving in
