A maritime channel, on a scale approximating to the dimensions of the Suez and Panama undertakings, and on the sea level, is contemplated in the West of England, across the Isthmus which divides Bridgewater Bay from the estuary of the Exe. The proposed canal, by r „;Kn g the English and Bristol Channels by a waterway navigable for screw colliers »nd other vessels of large tonnage, would place the resources of the South Wales coal and iron fields and the Midland manufacturing districts within easy reach of the southern and western and south-eastern counties, the metropolis itself, and the Continent ; and taking Cardiff as a central point, the now route would effect a saving in the sea passage from the Severn porta • to the Thames of about 250 miles.
