SHANNON NAVIGATION.

COPY OF THU REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS APPOINTED
PURSUANT TO THE ACT 5 AND 6 WILLIAM IV, c. 67, FOR
Tub IMPROVEMENT OF THE NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER
SHANNON. • .
To the Lords „f his Majesty's Treasury.
May it' please your Lordships,--The.uudersigned Commis-
sioners of the Shannon Navigation, appointed by a treasury
minute on the 24th' of November, 1835, and acting Under the
.powersrt as followsvestedin them by 5 and 6 William IV, C. 67, have to
re. •
That in pursuance of instructions contained in the aforesaid
treasury minute, they have lost no time in inquiring into, and
making themselves acquainted with, the important subject
committed to their investigation, by taking a personal view of
the whole of the river Shannon, rim the sea at its mouth, to
its source in Lough Allen, a distance of 234 miles, in order to
observe the general state of navigation, and the flooded lands
on each side during the winter season. •
The result of this inspection in the minds of the Commis-
sioners has been, that it will require at least ove tentire season
to enable them to complete a detailed investigation on the
several points connected with the inquiry; but from what they
have seen, and referring to ihe matter which has been so ably
set forth, and on such correct principles, by Captain Mudge
and Mr. Rhodes, it appears to them that the subject may be
fairly brought under five separate and distinct heads fur con-
sideration. • • , .

Jo order to bring the whole subject into view, it may be well
to state as briefly as possible the nature and cireumstances of
each of the above divisions of the river; for although the
reports of Captain Mudge and-Mr. Rhodes give a very correct
description of the state of the navigation-from one end to the
other, yet as they are too long to transcribe,. and as it has been
proved by experience that.whener new means of intercourse
have been opened, whether by roads or navigation, an increase
in agriculture and commerce has followed in a proportion far
exceeding what could have been anticipated from the expense
incurred, the Commissioners deem it best to set forth. the state
of 'the navigation, &c., as it appeared to them on a primary
view, with their ideas generally as to die best mode and scale of
improvement, referring to the reports abovementioned, fur the
plans and more detailed.information on the subject.

OF DIVISION NO. .1., ON THE LOWER SHANNON, FROM THE
SEA TO LIMERICK, ' INCLUDING THE RIVER FERGUS TO
CLARE AND ENNIS.

The state of these rivers is very minutely described by Cap-
tain Mudge, in his repoits of 1831 ; the navigable channels are
good, with the-exception of a few points, which can he improved
at' a comparatively small expense; but they are exceedingly
deficient in beacons, buoys, and marks to guide vessels in navi-
gating theme The shores- on either side abound with'suitable
place,s for small harbours, piers, or lauding quays, which would
be very 'beneficial to the country, and more particularly since
the establishment of daily steam-packets up and down -the
Shannon, by the Dublin Company, which, by opening an easy,
cheap, and expeditious intercourse between Limerick and the
country on both sides, are calculated to give a great stimulus to
internal commerce ; but the means of landing and shipping
goods and passengers at important` stations on eitrer side are
very deficient, and no considerable trade can be carried on until
suitable piers and landing wharfs shall 'have been erected.
With respett.to the question of harbours, piers, and landing
places, the Commissioners are of opinion, that although it
Would be necessary and publicly useful to• establish such at
several important situations, yet as all other 'places but those
chosen would think themselves equally entitled, and as local
and individual enterpriSe should ILd in these matters, it ap-
pears desirable to establish some just regulations for most cases,
namely, that as soon as any individual landed proprietor or
commercial body, or local subscription, or all 'together, shall
come forward with a fund, calling upon the Commissioners to
form a harbour or erect any pier or landing place under the
powers of this act, they will decide on the measure, and appor-
tion such additional funds, by way of grant or district assess-
ment, as may seem best adapted to the case, under certain rules
and regulations, which the Commissioners could frame for the
purpose.
OF DIVISION NO. 2, OR THE NAVIGATION' OP THE SHANNON

FROM LIMERICK TO KILtA LOK

In this division a navigation of fifteen miles is effected by
means of artificial side cuts or canals, with locks caable of
passing boats of fifty tons burthen, such as navigate the' Grand
and Royal Canals, and being part river and part canal, is
Subject to all the difficulties and delays of a river navigation;
and it appears a question with the Commissioners, whether it
would not be' better to complete it as a canal navigation for
the whole distance, ratber than to improve the present river
and cuts; but as some surveys are requisite to ascertain these
fact, and as the subject does not require the immediate decision
which is called for respecting the other parts of the river, the
question must stand over till plans and estimates can be pre-
pared, and a detailed recommendation given on the subject.

DIVISION NO. 3, COMPRISING THE RIVER SHANNON FROM
KILLALOE TO TAktkIIJNBARRY.

This division of the Shannon, in a direct course of eighty-
five miles, includes the two great inland lakes of Lough Derg and.
Lough Rhee, and comprises above two hundred miles of coast,
with the entrances to the Grand and Royal Canals, and the,
mouths of several rivers, either navigable or capable of being
easily made so; it is by far the most important division of the
whole, and is worthy of immediate and distinct consideration.
The Coinmissioners are decidedly of opinion that its navigation
may be improved, and the drainage of the adjoining lands ef-
fected, upon theprinciple so ably set forth and explained by
Mr. Rhodes in his reports on the subject in 1532, with very•lit-
tle alterations or modification of the particular plans laid down
by him for each point, but which modification will require some
additional surveys and researches. To prove the great impor-
tance of this portion of the navigation, a return is inserted in

the appendix, showing the great increase of trade and produce
brought from the Shannon, via Dublin, to Liverpool, during
the last three years, being in the half-year ending in the pre-
sent month, more than twelve times the quantity during the
half-year ending in February 1833, viz. 3,431 sacks of oatmeal
and wiw,it-thur in, the half-year,ending in February 1833 ; and
44 48.5 sa,ks of the same in the half-year ending in February
1836. rite tonnage paid for by the Dublin Steam Company on
the. Grand Canal leading to the waters of the Shannon having in-,
creased since 1829 from 6,8J0 tons to near 50,000; .the tolls paid
to trie Canal Company having also increased from £737, in 1829,
for six months, to £5,501, for the, half-year ending Feb. .1836. The
City of Dublin Steam Navigation Cu. have several small steam
boats which can navigate from Poi tumna Bridge to Athlow (a
part of the. navigation at present under the control of the Grand
Canal Company,) and included in this division, but they are
not fitted for the navigation of the large lakes and broad waters;
they have also one steamer in Lough Derg, the "Lady L• aps-
downe,' a very fine vessel of nearly three hundred tuns bur-
' then; and impelled by engines, of 100 horse power; this vessel
can navigate Lough Derg frona Killaloe to Potunina Bridge in
all weathers, and draw after her-four large barges each of fifty
tons burthen, collecting them at the various stations and little
harbours along the Lough, and delivering them either at Por-
tumna. on their, way to the Grand Canal, or at Killaloe, on
their way to Limerick, as the case may be; and were this divi-
sion of the river improved as proposed, the same class of steam
Vessels and the same meanefor faciliating trade and intercourse
would be extended from lillaloe to the entrance of the Royal
Canal. near Tarmunbarry, and thus bring into immediate and
improved action all the navigations of the river above and below
those points, even in their present defective state. To effect
this great object would require two locks only, three weirs, four
swing bridges, and the river to be cleared from obstructions;
in doing which, many thousand acres of valuable land could be
secured from floods, and the agriculture, trade navigation and
intercourse of a vast extent of country greatly improved.
Such are the general reasons (without going into particulars)
which induce the Commissioners to look upon this division as
the most important part of the inquiry; and further, from the
consideration, that if all the other divisions were completed, and
this left undone, little or no benefit would be•effected; whereas
if this were completed; and all the others left in their present
state, a great public benefit would be gained.

DIVISION NO. 4, FROM TARMUNBARRY TO LEITRIM.
This division of the river, which comprises about thirty miles,
the Comissioners reccommend to be improved upon the same
principles as the foregoing, but on a smaller scale than that
laid down by Mr. Rhodes, as a much smaller class of steamers
will be capable of conducting the trade through it, and be amply
sufficient for all the present and prospective wants of the coun-
try;- and the same auvantages, with regard to the drainage and
regulation of the flood waters, would be obtained, as if the
navigation were on a larger scale. Thus these two divisions
will be made available for trade by means of tug steam-vessels
to tow•fifty-ton. barges, similar to those which navigate the
Grand and Royal Canals and the other portions of the Shan-
non.

THE DIVISION NO. 5, OR THE CANAL NAVIGATION FROM
LEITRIM TO LOUGH ALLEN.

All that is required in this division, is toput the present work
in an improved state of repair, and to regulate' the flood waters
of Loilo Allen,-and 'to clear -the river, as proposed by Mr.
Rhodes. fineh are the general views taken by theCointnissioners
in .consequence of their first inspection of this important navi-
gation, the'capabilities and extent of which are little known and
less understoiid. To bring the whole subject to a conclusion,
according to the tenor of their:instructions, would be impossi-
ble in one season.; but with great exertion, and with liberty to
turn their attention to and give directions for the immediate
prosecntion of what they conceive-to be the most important di-
vision or the works, viz. from Killaloe to Tartnunbarry, they
entertain* hopes of being able:to come to a final report and re-
commendation' on that part before the close of the present ses-
sion of Parliament.

FASHIONS FOR APRIL.

GENERAL • OBSERVATIONS.—The new evening dresses are
principally of gauze,-crape, and organdie; this latter material
is indeed.carried to . a perfection .that almost rivals gauze in
beauty a'nd' transparency: We have seen some very pretty
robes composed of it, and trimmed with rose or blue satin n-
batid. Three bands of riband descend from the waist on each
side of the skirt in tablier form; each terminates in a knot at
some distance from the 'bottom. The corsage is draped ho-
rizontally, and, very deep before and behind.' Tight sleeves,
ornamented with riband forming chevrons, over which fall a
doable trimming of organdie, edged with narrow riband ; a si-
milar trimming is disposed at, the bottom in the ruffle style,
and looped over the bend of the arm by a knot of riband. Some
gauze robes are made with flounces. As • the skirts have lost
nothing of their preposterous width, we cannot consider this
kind of trimming graceful; however, the effect is notso bad on
gauze as it would be on more heavy materials. 'We have seen
some trimmed with two flounces cut bias and. set on double;
they are "placed one above another in such a manner that the
extremity of the one just touched the top of the other. The
upper one, is usually looped at the side by a full knot of riband
with floating ends, or a bouquet of flowers. A good many robes
are trimmed round the border with a single flounce only, with
the beadinglightly festooned in silks; this style appears to us
both lighter and prettier. Although the majority of sleeves in
evening dress_ are tight, yet they are, in many instances,' trim-
med at the upper part either with lace or the material of the
dress, and invariably terminated with ruffles; this gives some
.clegree of fulness, as well as a very dressy look, to the sleeve.
Wreaths of artificial flowers will be very fashionable for head-
dresses of hair; some of new forms are about to be introduced.
The colours most in request will be those we have already given
for hats and bonnets—dust colour, pearl gray, lilac, anil rose
White lilac and very pale rose are expected to be most in fa-
vour in evening dress.

THE BLUFF OLD BRITISH YEOMAN.
When radicals would rule the land,
To crown'and church the foemen,
Who igainst: the base ,will boldly stand?
Why who but British yoemen?
'Tis they alone stand by the throne,
The altar, and the laws too!
A band of truth, both sire and youth,
All in the honest cause, too.
And the sturdy British yoeruen,
The bold old British yoemen,
For England's right will dauntless fight—
The bluff, bold British yeomen!
No rotten theories they boast,
Which strength would give to foemen ;
For Britain's weal, the patriot host,
Are England's honest yeomen.
Their loyal pride rads may deride,
That pride they'll ne'er forego, men;
Let rebels meet, just feet to feet,
The sturdy British yeomen,
Whose fearless faces show men;
Whose courage yields to no men;
And many a year they'll after fear
Old England's loyal yoemen.
Yes ! should a base, rebellious crew
To anarchy give action;
And civil strife again renew'
To break the empire's paction,
Who are the men would come out then,
Each as the bold defender
Of Britain's laws, and the monarch's cause,
With the shout of "No surrender?"
Why England's noble yeomen;
The sturdy British yeomen;
Who inch by inch will fight, nor flinch—
The bold old British yeomen:
Then may God speed the British plough!
God speed the sail and loom, too! •
LOng may the stream of commerce flow,
And never check be doom'd to !
Industry's hive! long may it thrive—
God bless the isle' of Britain!
Prosperity! long may it be
The lot of all who sit in
The hothesteads of her yeomen !
The bold old British yeomen!
Cheers for the goOd in heart and blood,
John Bull's best triends—the yoemen!

SHIP LAUNCH.—On Monday last was launched from the
building-yard of Messrs. Chaloner and Sons, Baffin-street, a
remarkably fine vessel, of 305 tons, owned by Messrs. John
Crosthwaite and Co., and intended for the Berbice trade. The
day, being uncommonly, fine, attracted a vast concourse of visitors
to witness the launch, which was well arranged throughout, and
weuL not only. to the credit of the builders, but to the un-
minglcd gratification of the highly respectable individuals who
were Peesent on the occasion
DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF ELY.--The Right Rev. Bowyer
Edward Sparke, D.D., Lord Bishop Ely, departed this life on
Tuesday evening. His lordship was consecrated Bishop of
Chester in 1809,
,and translated to the see of Ely in 1812. Three
seats on the episcopal bench, namely, Ely, Lichfield, and Bris-
tol—the latter-see, it is understood, will not be suppressed—ate
now at the disposal of Lord Melbourne. The death of the Bishop
of Norwich is also daily expected to take place.
CIIEUTENIJAM HAlLnoAll.—ln another part of our paper
will be found a report of the proceedings of an important meet-
ing held at Cheltenham on Saturnay last, on the subject of the
railroad communication proposed to be opened between that
town and the cities of London and Oxford. ,
THE LATE Du. VALPY.—thir obituary this day records the
death of oirr late venerable and deeply respected townsman, the
Rev. Dr. Vain,. The long and intunate connection of this
distinguished sauta with the toyn Qf rip4ding.-bia position, for
half a century„at the bead of oneotthe, ' odiacatio fisa I este- '
blishinents. in England—mid his numerons anti valuable works
in every department of literature, render the nacre of Dr.:Valpy
too well known to require from us. a lengthened biygraphical
notice.—Berkshire Chronicle._
SLATE SLABS,—Slate is coming dally,more extensively into
use; it is being employed for, paving the area in front of the '
New National Gallery, and also for churclr-yard memorials,
instead of stone. It appears, frorna paper read at a recent'
meeting of the members .of the 'Architectural Society, that a
slab of Welsh slate, one inch in thickness, is equal in strength
to a piece of Yorkshire stone of: six inches. or yf Caithness or
Valencia stone of two inches in thickness.—Architecticral May.
We perceive by an advertisement in a Manchester paper,
that the long-protrdcted strike of the journeymen cabinet-
makers, of near six months continuance, is nearly at an end,
and that the old hands are superseded by fresh ones from•the
country or surrounding towns, who finding, as was stated by
the masters at the commencement of the turn-out, that the best
prices were paid by them for good work, have taken the oppor-
tunity to profit by the change, and no doubt many of the union
men have lost good situations which they may vainly regret.
SHANNON NAVIGATION.—We refer to another column for
one of the most interesting, and, we may add, one of the roost
important reports we ever read, namely, that of the commis- ,
sioners for the improvement of the navigation of the River
Shannon. The report may be emphatically said to speak for
itself. But in reading the brilliant results of the company's
exertions, it is impossible to forget what they and the country,
and we might add, the empire owes to Mr. "Charles,Williains,
for his indefatigable and judicious exertions. In six years the
tonnage has reached from 3,407 to 24,477 • the tolls paid to the
Grand Canal Company from £737 to £5,5(30; and the number:
of passengers last year was 31,562. Limerick is now twice as.
near London as Dilblin was twenty ago. What a revolution !
How wonderful! and to what miraculous results it wilt lead !
But enough. Again we desire the reader's attention to the re-
port.—Dublin Evening Post.
THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND.—"In my WO* On the, other
house of parliament, I have mentioned the names of several
members'who are most exemplary in their attendance on their
legislative duties. I doubt not many will be 'startled when I
state the fact that there is not a member in either house who can
at all, in t'iis respect, be compared with the Duke of Cumber=
:land. From the moment the doors are opened until they are
again closed you see him in his seat. He is literally—the door-
keeper of course excepted-.---the first man in the house and the
last out of it. And this pot merely generally, but every night—
no ruattei how uninteresting the business to be transacted—froni
the co:nmencement to° the' clime of the session."—Random Re-
