PROSPECTUS.

TT is proposed to apply to Parliament, in the next session,
I. to incorporate a Company for the purpose of constructing
a Navigable Canal from the Duke of Bridge Water's Canal,
near Altrincham, to the Middlewich Branch of the Ellesmere
and Chester Canal, near its junction with.the Trent and
Mersey Canal, at Middlewich, in the county palatine of
Chester, to be called " THE MANCHESTER AND
BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION CANAL."
The proposed Canal will he sixteen miles in length, and
and forms the shortest side of a triangle; the existing route,
by the Bridgewater and the Grand Trunk Canals, forms the
other two side s, and these being together thirty-four miles in
!e ngt 11, it is obvious that the proposed Canal will effect a saving
if eighteen miles of distance. To this must be added the
important advantage of improved construction.
Among the principal objects to be attained by the forma-
tion of this Canal, are the followinc,
I I t will complete the hest and most direct Canal route
from Manchester to the Staffordshire Iron and Cod District,
and to Birnirnigham. _

2ndly,—lt Kitt afford an essential improvement (already
to., long delaveo in the water cotnmunication between Man-
chester, the 'Statrordshire Potteries, the Eastern Counties,
and London. •

3rdiv;— It will .ertablish a direct line of Canal between
Maneliester and the Aline a, Quarries, Ironworks, and.Agri-
dultural Districts of Shropshire-and North Wales. •
4tnly.—lt will open a much shorter Canal Navigation
between :tlanchesier and the City and Port of Chester•.

—lt will gins to the town of Knutsfoid, and the
agricultural part of Cheshire, through
which.t he Can,' will run, the cheapest ticaus of intercom-
tn and of access to the Manchester Markets, and
Dzstricis aoonuding iu Lime and Coal.
it is proposed that the Canal shall be constructed upon the
mo.,t Unproved pr.neipes; and in reference to this object
Mr. Prov is has laid down the line and formed his calculations.
eshle towing paths throughout the whole line, walled
aides to the waterway, no contraction of the width of water-
way at bridges, and tucks that can be passed in the shortest
tiine, are saute of the intended iinproyetuents. • These will
not only tend to lessen the cost of future repairs, and save
time and tisk to the Carrier, but the Canal will be adapted
fot increased rates of speed either by horse or steatn power.
In its directio❑ the Canal will be nearly straight, and in
its levels there will be only the general fall of the country.
It will avoid all parks and ornamental grounds, will pass
over land of only ordinary value, and be encumbered with
no physical difficulties.
It is an extraordinary fact that no Canal has yet been
made for the accommodation Manchester in its southern
traffic, and consequently the trade has been compelled to
adopt the circuitous, dilatory,and expensive routes intended
for other purposes. The proposed Canal will remedy the
evil, and give to Manchester a direct communication with
the central and southern districts of the kingdom.
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 18.36, it was proved that the water carriage
between Manchester and the following places, viz., Birming-
ham, West Bromwich, Wednesbury, Worcester, Gloucester,
Wolverhampton, Dudley, Bilston, Tipton, Stourbridge,
Stourport, Shropshire, Shrewsbury, South Wales, the Pot-
teries, Newcastle, Stone, Stafford, Nantwich, Chester, Mid-
dlewich, Sandbac•h, Northwich, and Staffordshire, amounted
annually to 361,098 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 lid. 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, et
twenty per cent. per amain.
Applications for Shares, in the following form, will be
received at the Company's Office, No. 90, Fountain-street,
Manchester.

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 a saving of at least twenty
per cent. to the purchaser.
This mild, agreeable, and efficient purgative, is universally
approved and recommended by the faculty, as the best cor-
rective of disordered state of the stomach, head, and bowels,
and the safest remedy for gout, piles, fistula, gravel, &c. and
for obviating the injurious effects of the stronger drastic pur-
l( olives: for this latter purpose it should be taken tbe 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,
dvsentary, diarrhoea, and other troublesome affections of the
bowels.
Perusal of the following letter is particularly requested :
" To M r. Moxon,—Dear sir, I ant quite out of your invalua-
ble medicine, the Magnesiau Aperient : six months ago I
recommended it to a gentleman who bad been a dreadful
suff,rer 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 avocationsof the
,by‘ lid it invariably creates an elasticity of mind, and a fltw
s.pirits, which ov,, 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 out of boil 1 like a tea-spoonful of your Panacea, win-
ter and su tomer, (dur:ng this severe storm 1 have never

.and iustead of producing any cold sensation in
the stomach, it ins ariably 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 boy ; andl now enjoy
a state of health to which I have for year:: been a stringer.
W OA you have the kindness to send me a large bottle, packed
in a box, directed for me, Fleece Inn, Darlingten.
