The. engines will, bo supplied by the builders." ' V ' ' . A proof of tho popularity Of water carriage iii the United Kingdom is a canalisation scheme which is being iiiitiatecl in t-lio Midland? by which it"is" intended to link Manchester and Liverpool witlj the Potteries, Wolverhampton, and Birmingham. A'surveying party is mjAihg an exhaustive examination of the levels with a.'-vieiV to. launching a Midlands banal seiifeme in tho course of a few months. .It is believed that the promoters have .the support of the Mersey-Weaver Navigation .Commissioners, and that the canal will be an extension of the Weaver navigation. .The;latter systehi run? from Western Point, at. the. junction Of the Manchester Ship.Canal arid the Mersey Estuary, to Wiiisford (Cheshire), and at present carries a. largii proportion of the salt, chemical, and earthenware traffic of the country. The project is to.extend this canal so as to admit of- steamers of 300 toils to the Potteries, Wolverhampton, and Birmingham. There .is a'small canal already existing which only carries barges of 25 to 50 tons, and china arid earthenware manufacturers hail with • the utmost satisfaction a proposal which ,wjil eilable them to secure their ehina clays' in larger bulk and oxport ware without transhipment and with a consequent all-round cheapening. :
