The Surrey Iron Rail-way, an A& for 
the ercétion of which has lately received the 
Royal Affent, promifes to be one of the moft 
ufeful public works that have of late been 
undertaken for the improvement.of the 
county. Thefe iron roads are excellent fub- 
ftitutes for canals, and, in fome inftances, 
{uperior tothem. They are executed at one 
third of the expence, and by not obftruéting 
the natural flow of rivers, all the evils with 
which canals are at times accompanied, are 
avoided. One horfe, on an iron rail-wayy 
will do the work of ten, and the fpeed with 
which carriage is performed, exceeds all other 
modes of conveyance. This iron rail-way, 
commencing at Wandfworth, will, in all pro- 
bability, be extended to Portfmouth, by 
which, at all times of the year, and, in the 
feverelt frofts, when canals are locked up in 
ice, ftores might be, in one day, conveyed 
from Woolwich-warren to our fleets at Spit- 
head—a thing which it has been long in con- 
templation to fed. 
The Grand Surrey Canal Bill has alfo 
ately received the fanétion of Parliament, 
Perhaps a more important undertaking of this 
pature was never before attempted in thefe 
kingdoms, Bya cut from the River Thames 
at Wauxhal!, to Deptford, it penetrates the 
fouth part of the metropolis; collateral cuts 
extend to Rotherhithe, Peckham, Horfe- 
monger-lane, and Blackman-ftreet. The 
Royal Dock-yards and Viualling-office at 
Deptford, will alfo have the advantage of 
edmmunications with this grand canal, The 
upper part of the canal, nearly in a fouth- 
eaft direétion from Kennington-common, 
pafles by Stockwell, Clapham, and Upper 
and Lower Tooting, to Mitcham. It will be, 
hereafter, continued to Portfmouth. It will 
be now fpeedily executed, under the direc- 
tion of that very able engineer, Mr. Dodd, 
who was the author of the plan. 
The Committee appointed by the Court of 
Common Council of London, to ‘* take into 
confideration and report, if any, and what 
yemedy can be applied to remove the ex- 
travagant high price of every neceffary arti- 
cle of humin fuftenance,”’ having reported 
their opinion thereon, among other particu- 
Jars, fate, that ‘¢ the benefits propofed by the 
late Aét of Parliament, for fettling the af- 
fize of bread, have been defeated by various 
fiefarious practices, and that the fame fhould 
be repealed, and in lieu thereof, that an AG 
Should be obtained for fetting the affize upon 
the wright and quality only.
