Worthington and Co. wharf, Great Charles-street, load

fly boats daily, for Chester, Liverpool, Manchester,

etc. and deliver goods to responsible and regular carriers

to the north of England, and Scotland.

To enumerate a long list of carriers by land, would not be in the least interesting to strangers, nor can it be of any use to the inhabitants, they being published in the Birmingham almanack, and also in the directory.

The number of boats specified above, are sufficient to convince any person, that the manufactures of this town are of the first importance, they being laden with goods manufactured in this town and its vicinity.
