A Corsespandent of, the Briftol Journal 
fates, it as a metterof furprife and com- 
plaint, that in fo large and populous a city 
as Briftol, there is no regular corn-market 
held.—There is no fair expofition of corn by 
the grower—the whole bufinefs is conduéted 
on the fample fyftem, produétive, indeed; to 
the jobber, but who, by his unneceflary 
~ profit, enhances the price confiderably before 
it comes to the confumer. The above Cor- 
~refpondent fuggeits, therefore, the idea of a 
corn-market being held regularly in Briftol, 
, and recommends, as an eligible fpot, the 
void traét of ground in Nelfon-ftreet, as @d- 
mirably calculated for the purpofe.

The completion of the Glamorganfhire- 
canal from Merthyr to Caraiff, has opened a 
ready conveyance to the vaft manufattory of 
iron eftablifhed in the mountains of that

nually thipped from thence. A commodious 
dock has been likewife formed lately at the 
end of the canal, where veflels of large bur- 
then may lie afloat, and a little below this 
dock, ihips are admitted into what is termed 
a fealock, which communicates with the
