NORFOLK.

On Thursday, April 26, the first stone of the new bridge at Carrow, Norwich, was laid by the mayor, Thomas Back, esq. attended by many of the most respectable inhabitants of the city. On the stone being placed in its situation, three cheers were given by the workmen and spectators, anticipating the great conveniency which this fresh communication with the Yarmouth road, and the intended excavation of Butter Hills, will soon give the city. Notwithstanding the estimate for building another bridge, as proposed at the iron foundry of Messrs. Aggs and Co. amounts, according to the most moderate calculation of an eminent surveyor, to the sum of 7,4071. besides the permanent expence of 50% per annum, for lighting and keeping the streets in repair, the subscription is full. The erection of a third new bridge, at the Duke's Pałace, is also in contemplation, and there is no reason to doubt, that the loan for such a patriotic purpose will fill rapidly, as there is a good prospect for the subscribers of those several undertakings being paid nearly 11 per cent. for their money.

KINT.

It is in contemplation to take into consideration a plan projected by Mr. Rennie, for the junction of the Medway, Rother, and Stour, by means of navigable canals. The line of the canal proposed for the junction of the Medway and Rother, is from the Medway at Yalding to Horsmoaden, thence by Frittenden to Galiows Green, near Tenterden, and from thence to the royal military canal at Stone, which connects it with the Rother. The line projected to unite with the Stour is proposed to branch off at Middle Quarter, near High Halden, which in its course will embrace Ashford, and be continued to Wye, from whence it may without difliculty be extended to Canterbury. The total cost of this last line, twenty-seven miles in length, is estimated at 109,744/. of the former line, nearly thirty-four miles in length, 199,6881. If then the advantages to be derived from this proceeding are so ob

[ocr errors]

vious to the landed interest of the county, of how much consequence is it to the trading interest of Canterbury, that some immediate steps should be taken to obtain a navigation from thence to the sea; and as the enormous expense of land-carriage may not be within the knowledge or conception of the trade of that city, we give, as an instance, that of the carriage of coal only, during the list two years. In the years 1808 and 1809, the quantity of coal brought into Canterbury, and on which the pavement duty of 1s. per chaldron was paid, was 18.250 chaldrons, being an average of 9125 yearly; which, at the rate of 13s. per chaldron, (the price paid for land carriage,) gives 59311. 5s.; a sum equivalent to discharge the interest of nearly 120,0001. more, by one-sixth, than the estimate of the whole cost of canal, harbour, &c. It is to be observed here, that the carriage of coal only is calculated; if then that of hops, timber, stone, wool, leather, grocery, shop goods, &c. is added, and which in 1802 was estimated at 13,000 tons annually, and calculated to cost 72501. it will be found that the saving to the public will be more than one-half of the present price paid for land-carriage of every description.

A project is in contemplation to construct an harbour at St. Nicholas Bay, on the northeastern coast of this county. It originated with some merchants in London, with a view of obtaining a shelter for those vessels which in the winter season are so much exposed on the Kent coast. It is proposed to make the harbour capable of receiving vessels of 500 tons burthen.
