Ntarly all the great works on the important

 ford, is now opened for the ufe of the trade; 

 by this great work nine locks by its fide, four 

 down and five up, are avoided, and one level 

 Iheet of water is formed, from Stoke Bruern, 

 to feme miles fouih of Fenny Stratford, as 

 wellasonthe Buckingham branch, extend- 

 ing to within a mile of that town. The

 finking fooii after the centres were (truck, 

 have happily proved fufficient, and the em- 

 bankment feems to poffefs great (lability.

 now, under new and happier aufpices, feem 

 to be rapidly retrieving their af5''airs.
