SPECTUS 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."
The great and leading objects of the proposed undertaking
are—
lst.—Trieffect the cheapest and most direct practicable Line
of Water Communication between London and Birmingham,
and the great Mining districts of Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
and Shropshire.
2d.—To obtain, by the communication it will open with the
Regent, Stratford, Worcester, Birmingham, Birmingham and
Liverpool, Ellesmere and Chester, Trent and Mersey, and
Bridgwater Canals, the quickest, cheapest, and must convenient
line of Canal Conveyance between London, Birmingham, Li-
verpool, and Manchester. Also by a junction with the Oxford
Canal at,Banbury, an improved communication to the City of
Oxford.'
3:1.—T0 give the facilities and advantages of water conveyance
to the valuable and extensive districts through which the pro-
posed line of navigation is intended tube taken—districts capable
of great and rapid improvement, and to which nothing can so
materially contribute as a cheap arid direct counnueication with
the metropolis and the great manufacturing towns of Warwick-
shire 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-
en ural, Commercial, and Manufacturing Interests of the
'dom.
e extraordinary facility that this Line would give to Lon-
nd Liverpool, to the Manufacturers of Manchester, Bir-
mingham, 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. kliminglisat and Wolverhampton- and

THIS line of Railway will pass from Ruabon, in the county
of Denbigh, through the rich mineral district of East Den.
bighshire, to the Port of Chester, and will there communicate
by the Railways projected from that City with Liverpool, Man-
chester, Birmingham, Gloucester, Bristol, London, &c.
Numerous lion Works have been for some time in full opera-
tion in various parts of the Line, and their number is constantly
increasing; and Coals, Iron Stone, Lead, Lime Stone, Free
Stone, Fire Clay, and Slates are found in great abundance
throughout the district, but there are at present no means of
exporting this produce, or any other, except by the Chester and
Ellesmere Canal or Land Carriage.
The Canal is only accessible at the extremesouthern point of
Ruabon parish, and consequently available only to a very small
portion of the district, and even by this means there is a dis-
tance of 58 miles to be traversed to Chester (the nearest port,)
and consequently a heavy tonnage and great delay incurred,
and the Land Carriage to which the other parts orthe district
are obliged to resort is at once tedious, uncertain, and expen-
sive; but by the proposed Railway the distance from lluabon
to Chester will be reduced to less than 20 miles, and it will be
equally accessible to every part of the line; and from its pro-
pinquity and this mode of ready access to the Ports of Liverpool
and Chester, and the Market of Manchester, this mineral
district will become the most valuable and important in the
kingdom.
The wain line will pass in the immediate vicinity of Wrex-
ham, and through a very populous manufacturing district.
Its Southern or Ruabon terminus will be the nearest point of
communication from Liverpool to the projected line of Railway
from London to Ireland, via Portdynllaen, to the great Holy-
head, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Welshpool, Newton, Bala, Dol.
gelly, and all parts of Montgomeryshire, Merionethshire, and
South Wales, and will consequently be the best mode of con-
veying Timber, Manufactured, Agricultural, and all other
produce to that Port:—the Northern or Chester terminus will
be the nearest point whence Cheshire can be supplied with
Lime, Coal, and Slates.

Materials of the best quality for the construction of the road
are readily obtained in every part of it. The whole country
has been carefully surveyed, and the committee have adopted
the line which appears to them most eligible in every respect.
The advantages of this line of Railway, in every point of view,
are so evident and indisputable that there can be no doubt of
its yielding an ample remuneration for the capital required to
be embarked.
