REVENUE OF THE CANAL.

According to the evidence on traffic given before a Com-
mittee of the House of Lords on the Cheshire Junction
Railway Bill, in 1836, it was proved that the water carriage
between Manchester and the followinglolaces, viz., Birming-
ham, West Bromwich, Weduesbury, Worcester, Gloucester,
Wolverhampton, Dudley, Bilston, Tipton, Stourbridge,
Stourport, Shropshire, Shrewsbury, South Wales, the Pot-
teries, Newcastle, Stone, Stafford, Nantwich, Chester, Mid-
dlewich, Sandbach, Northwich, and Staffordshire, amounted
annually to 364,098 tons. The trade direct from Manchester
to London is not included in the foregoing, but is itself
nearly as great in amount;—or say together about 700,000
tons. These sources alone, if calculated at the moderate
tonnage rate of 14d. per ton per mile, would produce £70,000
per annum, and if for this be deducted £5OOO for repairs and
maintenance, there would remain a clear surplus revenue or
profit of thirteen per cent. per annum upon the expended
capital.
It is, however, held by those conversant in the traffic of
Manchester and the surrounding districts, that much of the
Yorkshire and northern trade will be passed through the
Proposed Canal on its way to London and the south. This
has not been included in the foregoing statement; but, if
added to the local traffic and that general increase of com-
mercial intercourse consequent upon increased facilities, it
may not be unreasonable to assume the probable profit, at
twenty per cent. per annum.
Applications for Shares, in the following form, will be
received at the Company's Office, No. 90, Fountain-street,
Manchester.

Canal Company.

FAMILY BOTTLE.

mOXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN
APERIENT. The Magnesian having long sustained
the character of the very best Family Medicine, and many
individuals having experienced the advantages of a steady
perseverance in the use thereof, has induced the proprietor
to meet such demand by a larger bottle. The Family Bottle,
price Ils., (with a ground-glass stopper,) contains the quan-
tity of five of 2s. 9d. size, which is yaving of at least twenty
per cent. to the purchaser. fi/
This mild, agreeable, and efficirnt purgative, is universally
approved and recommended by the faculty, as the best cor-
rective of disordered state of the stomach, bead, and bowels,
and the safest remedy for gout, piles, fistula, gravel, &c. and
for obviating the injurious effects of the stronger drastic pur-
gatives: for this latter purpose it should be tak,m the morning
following. If frequently taken during the heat of summer
and autumn, no medicine is better calculated to prevent or
speedily remove those dangerous disorders cholera morbus,
dysentary, diarrhoea, and other troublesome affections of the
bowels.

Perusal of the following letter is particularly requested :
" To Mr. Moxon,—Dear sir, I am quite out of your invalua-
ble medicine, the Magnesian Aperient: six months ago I
recommended it to a gentleman who bad been a dreadful
sufferer from the gout, he informs me since he took it regu-
larly.he has not had a single attack or even the slightest
symptom. Let me recommend you to impress upon the mind
of all sufferers from morbid sensibility of the stomach and
bowels, the necessity, the absolute necessity, of taking a tea-
spoonful of it regularly every morning; taken in the manner
I have described, it never interferes with the avocations of the
day. and it invariably creates an elasticity of mind, and a flow
of spirits, which gives a zest to every enjoyment, besides it
enables the invalid to enjoy many of those luxuries with im-
punity, from which he must otherwise be debarred, and
without which life is irksome and distressing. The moment
I get nut of bed I take a tea-spoonful of your Panacea, win=
ter and summer, (during this severe storm 1 have never
omitted it,) and instead of producing any cold sensation in
the stomach, it invariably creates a genial flow, a pleasurable
warmth, and I go down stairs to breakfast with an appetite
that would do no discredit to a plough buy; and 1 now enjoy
a state of health to which I have for years been a stranger.
Will you have the kindness to send me a large bottle, packed
in a box, directed for me, Fleece Inn, Darlington.
