PROSPECTUS
OF AN INTENDED NEW CEMETERY,

TO BE CALLED
THE WEST DERBY GENERAL CEMETERY
CAPITAI,LIS2OOO, IN 1000 SHARES OF £l5 EACH.

THE rapid-increase in the population.of Liverpoel, Walton,
,Everton„ West Derby, and the surrounding districts, and
the numerous instances of death which accompany this increase,
naturally institutes the inquiry where, or in what silent retreat
and peaceful abode shall we deposit the remains of our departed
relatives? This question is fuiiv acrd successfully answered by
the present project. The situation of the land secured fur this
undertaking, is one which possesses peculiar interest and beauty,
including all the attributes of solitude and retirement, combined
with salubriousness of air and picturesque scenery, presenting
three admirable fronts, one of 83 yards, to Derby-road, Liver,-
pool side of Newshau►•house, another of 211 yards, to Richmond-
hill, and a third of 14) Yards, to Whitfield-lane, making in all
about 2-1,200 square yards, with a perfectly dry bottom, which
will save to this Company the enormous outlay of Capital for
Draining., so necessary in other institutions o similar nature.
The price agreed upon fur this Estate is 'o per square yard,
which will be found little more than a t 'r of that agreed to be
given by other Companies.

PROSPECTUS
Of a line of Navigation from Birmingham to London, commencing
at the Stratford-on-Avon Canal in Warwickshire, and ending
at the Regent's Canal, London; to be called

THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM CANAL
NAVIGATION.
rpHE great and leading objects of the proposed undertaking,
.I. 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 quickest, cheapest, and most conve-
nient line of• canal conveyance between 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-
(rids, capable of great and rapid improvement, and to which
nothing can so materially contribute, as a cheap and direct
communication with the Metropolis, and the great manufac-
turing towns of 'Warwickshire and Staffordshire.
It must be evident, that the proposed undertaking embraces
objects 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 the manufacturers Manchester, Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, Dudley, Stourbridge, and Walsall, and to the
Proprietors of Mines and Works, in the counties of Stafford,
Worcester, and Salop, must be obvious to the most superficial
observer.—Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and the con-
tiguous mineral distticts, would then be situated about midway,
on the great throughfare water communicetion between London
and Liverpool, anti London and Manchester, raid as vessels
.would be passing incessantly in each direction; the increased
facility and despatch could not but be productive of the highest
advantages. The saving in distance by the proposed route will be
36 miles, and the locks will be reduced from 172 to 48.
One great feature of the proposed undertaking, is the opening
of a cheap communication, between the Metropolis and the
great Coal Fields of Staffordshire and 'Worcestershire. In the
attainment of this object, every inhabitant of London ought to
feel himself interested; experience every day furnishing addi-
tional proofs, that nothing but effective competition from the in-
terior of the kingdom, can insure to the householders of London
a regular and steady supply of Coal at moderate prices. Per-
haps it is scarcely possible for the most sanguine mind, to form
an adequate conception of the benefits that would result from
enabling the Midland Coal proprietor, to compete with, the,
Northern proprietor, in supplying London with Coal ;—mono.•
poly would be rendered impossible, combination frustrated, and
free and active competition completely secured. By the pro-
posed Route Staffordshire Coal can be delivered in the City
Basin, at prices varying with quality, from 15s. to 20s. per ton,
With a view to render this concern as extensively useful as
possible, the rates of tonnage will he low and thus command
that great mass of business which invariably follows moderate
charges.
Manure and Road Materials will be permitted to pass at low
rates. Ni,vharfs will be provided where the Canal will intersect
main, thoroughfares, and every encouragement be affolded to
the free development' of the energies of the districts through
which the Canal will pass.
The proposed navigation will possess all the improvements of the
best modern canals. Where tunnelling is necessary two wraith,
with a towing path under each, will be made • the sides ,f the
canal u•fll be walled ; and the greatest of all modern improve-
lnents, the double towing path, will be carried throughout the whole
line.
Confident in the superior cheapness and convenience of water
conveyance, (particularly as regards raw materials and heavy
commodities), the promoters of this undertaking have no hesita-

and light goods that require dispatch and will bear high rates of

carried on through the medium of cheap navigable communi-
cations-

to the merits of the proposed line, to the great extent and -t
sim-
plicity of its levels, to the superiority it will possess in respect
to distance and lockage, to the well-ascertained fact that a full
supply' of water can be provided, the conclusion will be fully
warranted, that iu a short time after its completion, this really
grand internal communication will yield such a return, as will
entitle it to be classed amongst the most productive and success-
ful undertakings of the, kind in. the Kingdom. According to a
moderate Estimate, full ten per cent. will be realized. By the
proposed route Goods will be delivered in London in thirty-two
hours, instead of seventy, by the existing route, the saving in
Freight 20s: per ton.
