The proprietors oi tlie projected Firmingh un und Liet )ool Hail w ay, firmly convinced of the prac.tic.a!;iiitv tf their plan, and of the benefit v hu h rill arie to the public from an additional and iniprovi d mian; ol tanspjtt between Dinning.

by Wluch they aic actuated, and the pr'm-

cipal grounds on which they rcsJMthcir case, and ask for the countenance of, parliament and the public. The distance by the canals. Sc the rouj by the Mersey, lioni Birmingham to Li verpool, is from 1 15 to 120 miles ; by the projected rail-way it w ill be only 90 mi1 v The average time of the passage ol fly boats with t clays of horses, from llirmj iajgnam to Liverpool, by the above canals and loute, is. at a eiy low estimate, 60 hours; by the ptopoed rail way, it will not exceed 15 hours. The pic bent fieiiHit of mci chandizc Fiona liirri.inghum to Liverpool, by the canals, ard the above route, is 45s a ton ; by the proposed rail way, it will not exceed 30s; and the freight of heavy, and less bulkv ooods, will be less in the same piopottion. A load, therefore, of merchandize of 16 tons, (the aw rage of a boat's cai ago) tl (Its- ! patched by : ',e rail way from Hirmiftj'Kam by 5 o'clock in the morning, will anive at Liverpool at 3 o'clock at night, instead of being days and nights on the journey N and the freight will he instead of :'f . Manure and toad materials will not pay any toll for the use of the rail way, and the chaitgc for In.uiagc- will not exceed one hall penny per ton, per mile. , Canals, it is well known, aic stopped by ; the host, di ougnt imd repairs; and great ; inconvenience and loss are Inqocntly sus- I taincd by delay in the delivety in goods; but neither fro it nor drought can it tcrnipt a tail way; and a double line of rail way, 'with tutu outs, will pi event lie nc- i ccssity of b'eppa-e ioi repaii?. Merchandize, corn and other roods, in their transit en canals, are liable to gieat injury, lioin tlie halving and sinking of bo.aa ; thi. cannot occur on tail ways. The propiietois of the: intended 'ail way arc awaic. ti-.at a bill is befoie parliament lor cuttinr; a canal hooi Autherley to Nai r.vich ; a pi eject wliici could not lail to excite in i heir minds considei able stir pi be, ma1- much au while fhjiposcs to occupy the !me of ceaintry jVi-evious'y selected by them, it admits the necessity oi ex'ended accomtije-iialioii for the public, and thus confirms the correctness of this partol the case of the rail w.y which was so strenuously denied by the canal pi opthtors in the hist susshm of parliament. I ho necessity ol an additional means of communication between 15 .rmingham Ec Liverpool, beinyj thus admitted, the (pies- i lion to he decifhd is, m which ot the two parties pailiaiiunt ouht to i;ivc the piefcier.ee The projectors of the rail way have shown, and are prep?iedto prove, it pei '.iiiltcd, that their plan vnll afloiel infinitely greater aehantagc to the public than a canal. The proposed line of a rail way has been lately re-surveyed, under the direction of Mr Josias Jessup c Mr "Cleoijc Rennic ; in doing which tte greate pains have be( n taken to avoid inti usion upon any mansion or demesne lands ; and every exertion made to render the rutc of the line, as far as circumstances would permit, satilactory to the landed propiietors ; and if the promoters of this undertaking have not succeeded in conciliating the entire landed interest, they can on y expicss their regret that they have failed in so doing. The pi omotcrs ot the lail way, still, howc. er, t civ on tlie impartiality and go el sense of thelatdtd piopiietors, and utist that when such ot them as ate at piesent unfavorable to the ircas-Ui e relUct on the great advantages w hich v. ill accrue to them and their tenants by tlie propysedr .il road, in the cheap conv eyance of fuel, road mulciials, manure, lime, fat cattle, agricultural pioducc, Sec. thio' an extent of miles, connecting maikcts Mich as Birmingham and Livcrpc ol, they will rot, cither under the impicst-im ol imaginary evils, or t'.ie influence of the intcicstcd, any longer consent to lcmain opposed toagieat local k public improvement. Having tints detailed ouic cf the local and peculiar adv autugcsot th.c proposed measure, the promote! s of it ac induced to advert to the moic extended ipheie of i's operation, contemplated in a national point of view, as farming pai t of ore gt eat line ot direct communication between London and Ireland, and conclude by sub mitting their plan to the imperial eonsid oration of patliamcnt, and the public fully assuied that the beneficial results it hold, (.tit, as v ell to the agriculture, commerce and manufartui es, as to the political s( entity of the United kingdom, must ensure to it '.ho sanction of the legislature.
