By the liberality of Peter Latouche, efa. 
of Belview, alife boat is building,.at his fole 
expence. When completed the will be fta- 
tioned at the Grey-ftones, two miles fouth of 
Bray-head, on the coaft of Wicklow. 
From a report recently made by the Direc- 
tors of the Grand Canal, it appears that two 
years ago the Dire€toxs, with the approbation 
ef the Company, took from the reprefenta- 
tives of the Hartpole femily a leafe for qt 
years, of their extenfive royalties, in the 
Queen’s county, including the well-known 
colliery of Doonane, the coal of which was 
always deemed of fuperior quality; but it was 
fuppofed this colliery had been nearly ex- 
haufted, The Direétors, with the aflitance 
of their engineers, and fome Englifh Miners, 
have for two years paft been atively employ- 
ed in exploring the country furrounding the 
above colliery, and have been fo fortunate as 
to find three or four different feams of coal, 
of the fame quality with the ancient Doonane, 
and one vein or bed of coal, ‘of confiderable 
extent, fuperior in thicknefs and quality to 
any coal heretofore difcovered in that country. 
The Direétors, in their report, recommend 
it to the company to make an extenfion of 
their canal near Athy to the foot of the col- 
liery hills, a diftance of nine miles, on one 
level, and thence to perforate the hills bya 
navigable tunnel, or underground canal, 
about two miles in extent, which will bring 
.them into the bowl or bottom of the feveral 
‘ftrata of coal, with which the furrounding 
hiils are filled; and will at the fame time 
‘bring the canal immediately under the bed of 
the coal, and clear the colliery completely of 
water. The Dire€tors compute that this coal 
may be brought to Dublin in one line of the 
canal, and into the river Shannon in another, 
and fold at thofe places at the moderate fum 
of 25s. per ton—in which is includeda toll! of 
10s, per ton to the company in lieuof royalty, 
befides an ample allowance for freight and 
commiffion to the carriers and venders.of the 
coal, together with a clear profit of 3s. per 
ton to the perfons working the colliery on 
their own account (the Company being deter- 
mined not to work the colliery themfelvez, 
but to let it to others for a fmall confidera- 
tion.) If this durable coal can be fold in 
Dublin, and on the banks of the Shannon, as 
the low price of 25s. per ton, the Directors 
have not over-rated the probable confumption 
of it at 190,000 tons per aanum; and if culm, 
fo much wanted for the burning of lime 
throughout the country, can be obtained on 
proportionally cheap terms, there can be no 
doubt that double the above quantity of culm 
alone will be confumed.
