A survey is now making to ascertain ths 
best line for a canal from Sheffield, to com¬ 
municate at or .near Grindleford Bridge, w'itli 
a junction betwixt the Peak Forest and the 
Croraford Canals. It is also intended to con¬ 
tinue the Sheffiild Canal to the navigation 
at Rotherham, which opens a direct commu¬ 
nication by water from that towm with the 
ports of London, Liverpool, Bristol, and 
Hull, Manchester, Birmingham, Derby, 
Alacclesheld, Wolverhampton, &c. 
A gentleman of Birmingham has, it is said, 
ascertained that every cwC. of coal will yield, 
about 4ibs. of clear tar, from which a liquor, 
or volatile oil, may be distilled, answering 
the purposes of oil and turpentine in japan¬ 
ning. Every gallon of this tar will produce 
nearly two quarts ot this oil by distiilatiojs, 
and a residuum will be leT, nearly, if nac 
quite, equal to the best asphaltu.m. The 
discoverer thinks that by this process, which 
he is preparing to carry into executioii oa a 
large scale, sufficient tar might be jnoduced 
from the vjrioiis coal-works to supply aii oirr 
dock yards, boat-buiiders, dec. be^ide:>furnish¬ 
ing a substitute for all the oil of turpentine 
and asphaltum used in tlie kingdom, and im¬ 
proving the coke so as to make iron witli 
less charco-il.
