13ublic Zotiteo,

A T MEETING of the COAL .i.nd IRON-MASTERS,
held at the 110 TEL, DUDLEY, on FRIDAY, the 12th of
February, 1836, to take into Consideration a proposed NEW
LINE of CANAL from BIRMINGHAM to LONDON,
. .

MICHAEL GRAZEBIWOK, Esq., i❑ the Chair,

Mr. DCGDA,LE Ilnuerwrox 'attended and laid befoie the
Meeting a'Plan of a Line of Canal proposed to he 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 London by
.anal Con-
Veyance.of 361- inilei—that the Reduction or ving in the
freight of lion to London by such line woul amount, ac-
cording to the calculation of experienced arriers, to full
Fifty per cent. on the present charge— at in respect to
Coal and Coke the advantages would b qually great, and
that the Saving in the freight of M actured Goods and
General Merchandise froth Birming am to London, and
vice versa, would amount to Twenty billings per ton—
RESOLVED,
That it appears to this Meeting that the proposed Canal would
afford the best and most direct line of Water 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 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 m?asures preparatory to applying to Par-
liament fin. powers to carry the plan into effect.

LIVERPOOL ZOOLOGICAL §pCIETY.

APeriod like the present, ;WOCinding with schemes of Joint
Stock Companies, embracing almost every source of ap-
parent profit to speculators, may be deemed rather unfavoura-
ble for announcing the projected formation of a Society, a pro-
minent object of which is to promote a popular science, and to
preserve to the public an establishment affo ing perpetual in-
struction and recreation. if, however, to is desirable object
a see and profitable investment of c tal can be united, it
may fairly put forth its claim to ge ral consideration and
support.
It is proposed to make arrant ents with Mr. Atkins the
spirited Proprietor of the Zoological Gardens, for the transfer
of his splendid Menagerie in the Derby-road, and the Land
adjoining, which belongs to him, to a Public Company, to be
called the " Liverpool Zoological Society."
It may be inquired—why does not Mr. Atkins prefer to con-
tinue his able and successful management, and why is he con-
tent to surrender the profits of a lucrative undertaking? To
this the reply is satisfactory, and will meet the sympathy it
merits. Mr. Atkins has recently been deprived, by the hand of
death, of a son, who was his daily companion in the superin-
tendence of his charge, and whose loss has added to the cares
of his father's declining years.
There is no study so universally interesting to persons of all
ages and conditions, as the study of natural history. It is de-
lightful when enjoyed in literature; but, beyond expression,
fascinating when presented by living. objects through the me-
dium of sight. It is in this state a science within the scope of
all intellects; and it is no insignificant guide to the contempla-
tion of higher thoughts, and the cultivation of more exalted
feelings. It conducts the mind from nature to nature's Great
Creator, and induces the careless observer to reflect and to
appreciate the gracious decree, which, when it breathed all
nature into existence, proclaimed its creation to be for the use
of man.
This is obviously an opportunity not to be neglected of secur-
ing to the town and county so noble an establishment, without
risk of future change of ownership.
The Garden occupies upwards of seven statute acres of Land,
and Mr. Atkins has purchased ten acres adjoining, which will
afford the means of extending it from time to time as required.
To enter into a description of the taste displayed in laying
out the Grounds, the judicious arrangement of its various com-
partments, and the increasing beauty and luxuriance of the
Shrubberies, would be superfluous. 'They are all familiar to
the visitors of this rational resort; neither is it necessary to en-
ter into a detail of the collection in this Menagerie, so univers-
ally known anti admired; but it may be affirmed, that in every
branch of Zoology it contains some of the rarest and most valu-
able specimens. The whole is in healthy condition, and the
best order.
There is no place, the metropolis perhaps excepted, where so
many opportunites ocsur of enriching the collection by dona-
tions and purchases. This the present Proprietor has expe-
rienced, and it will, doubtless, be more extensively exemplified,
especially with regard to donations, when donors become per-
sonally interesteein the welfare and character of the Institu-
tion. . . .

The idea is not new of having a Public Zoological Society in
Liverpool. It was contemplated, and the preliminaries were
in some progress, when Mr. Atkins first determined to estab-
lish himself in the neighbourhood.
It remains to state the terms upon which Mr. Atkins agrees
to dispose of his establishment :
The Land, consisting of 17 A. In. 22p.
The Menagerie, Buildings, Plantations, with all Ma-
: terials, Utensils, and Property appertaining there-
to.

Making a total of
fot which payment may be made by progressive instalments.
If ever the town should encroach on the present site, to make
removal necessary, it cannot do so without bringing the land
into building value, at least equal to the capital proposed.
The annual profits considerably exceed the Interest upon the
Capital required.
The Establishment is complete in all its appointments; and
the persons employed, who are willing to continue their ser-
vices, are all experienced and trust-worthy.
The Capital of the Society to be £50,0(X), in 5000 Shares of
£lO each, of which probably not more than £lO,OOO may ever
be required.
£1 deposit to be paid on the appropriation of Shares, £2 10s.
on signing the Deed of Association, and further calls by order
of the Directors at periods of not less than three morrhs apart,
and not exceeding £2 10s. per Share at any one time.
A Directory, consisting. of twenty-one members, to be elected
at an early General Meeting of the Subscribers. A Proprietor
of five Shares to be eligible as a Director, and to be entitled to
one vote ; and for every additional five Shares one vote, not
exceeding five votes in the whole.
Applications for Shares and Prospectuses (if by letter, post-
paid) to he made to Messrs. BOURNE and HASSA LL, Solicitors,
Harrington Chambers, North John-street; or Messrs H AR-
MOOD BANNER, SON, and THOAIPSON, Share Brokers, No. 4,
Castle-street.
