This scheme for extending the inland navigation of this conn.try, is but a continuation of the Leicester navigation before men.tioned ; the result of benefits must necessarily be nearly the fame.

RIVER ROTHER.

A R V N D E L NAVIGATION.

Particulars of an Adi “ to enable the Earl of Egremont to makeand maintain the River Rother navigable from the Town of Mid ,Lhurst to Stopham Meadow , and a navigable cut from thesaidRiver to the River Arun , at or near Stopham-bridge , in theCounty of Sussex .” 1791.

THIS act impowers the noble Earl, his heirs, &c. to makeand maintain the river Rother navigable for boats, barges, &c.from a piece of ground called the Lower Platt, near Midhurst,through the several parishes of Woollavington, Easebourn,Ambersham, Seiham, Lodsworth, Tillington, Burton, Duncton,Petworth, Sutton, Coates, Egdean, Fittleworth, Bury, Coldwal-tham, and Stopham, to a certain piece of land called StophamMeadow, and from hence to make a navigable cut to the riverArun near Stopham-bridge; and also to make another naviga-ble cut from the river Rother, near Stopham-bridge, to Hafling-bourn-bridge, in the parish of Petworth. Power as usual isgiven to cleanse, scour, deepen, enlarge, &c. and to make towing-paths, &c. for which the following rates are allowed :

For chalk, foil or dung for manure, one penny per ton permile.

For timber, plank, coals, lime, corn, grain, fire-wood, &c.three-pence per ton per mile.

Every exertion to render the inland navigation of this coun-try more complete, deserves much praise ; and there can be no

doubt
