his appointment, and to deputies, being fubfcribers to the Kennet and Avon, Wilts and Berks navigations. The Iron Railway from the Gloucefterfhire Collieries to the Bath River promises great advantages to the public. The great demand for coal in the city of Bath, and through an extent of country of above 100 miles, with which the railway will communicate by means of the Kennet and Avon, Wilts and Berks Canals, alfo affords the most flattering profpect to the fubfcribers. The Sodbury and Pucklechurch coal is of a moft excellent quality, and can be rendered at a very cheap rate, not only in the neighbourhood, but at the eastern extremities of both canals, and muft obtain the readiest sale for general use, though for particular purposes there will be a demand for as much of the Somersetfhire coal as thofe collieries have been found able to fupply. The fmith's coal, alfo, at Haul Lane, will have an eafy and cheap conveyance to all parts of the country: this coal has the peculiar advantage of not occafioning the iron to blifter, and is of a quality which is to be found in very few places in the kingdom. Not only the towns in the neighbourhood, and on the line of the canals, have a deep intereft in the projected railway, but even the city of Salisbury, where coal is dearer than in any other part of the kingdom, though a place celebrated beyond any in the weft of England for its works in the iron and steel branches, may feel the beneficial effects of it, as a railway may be easily extended from the Kennet and Avon Canal to that city, and coal rendered at a third less than the prefent price.
