MERTHYR LITERARY INSTITUTION. At a meeting of the members of this Society Thursday se'nnight, Mr. John Thomas in the chair, Mr. Ltnnley delivered a lecture upon the science of phrenology. The lecture was very interesting—the matter well digested—and the arrangement clear and scientific. We, for this reason, greatly regret that great pressure of other matter compels us to confine our report of it to little else than a mere outline. Phrenology is a Greek term, signifying the doctrme of the mind. Phrenologic science, founded by Dr. Gall about fifty years ago, was perfected by Dr. Spurzheim and by their joint exertions it has been disseminated over all Europe and the United States of America. The fundamental principle of phre- nology is, that the brain is the organ of the mind—as where there is no brain, there are no mental manifestations. One question for our discussion is, whether the brain is a single organ, or an aggregation of parts, each acting independent of the other. Every organ has its definite function to perform the heart's business is to circulate the Mood the stomach's to digest food the eye's to see the ear's to hear and the nose's to smell. The various portions of the human frame have definite offices and this is the case with the brain; and its respective organs have separate spheres of action. Every day's ebserva- tion verifies the truth of this statement; for genius varies in different individuals. ÜDe has a talent for music, another for mechanics, and another for languages and that these various aptitudes arise from peculiar organic developements, is proved by the fact that partial injury to the brain only affects the men- tal manifestations corresponding to the organs located in the in- jured part, and does not in any way interfere with others, proves the correctness of the division of organs. These are divided into three principal sections, corresponding to three great "lasses of mental phenomena and they are called animal propensities, moral sentiments, and intellectual faculties. The brain itself is divided into the posterior, middle, and an- terior lobes; and to the anterior or front part are referred the intellectual faculties the propensities are referred to the back part of the head, and the sentiments occupy the middle. By comparing these partr together, and ascertaining which predominates, we are enabled to form an estimate of individual character and that the opinions formed by phrenologists from those data are correct, may be proved by thousands of instances. When we find a head full in the back part, and with a low fore- head, we may conclude the possessor to be a licentious and self- ish being, indulging much in the animal passions a full frontal developement, on the contrary, indicates intelligence and hu- manity. The contrast of these two characters is very forcibly perceived in Melancthon the reformer, and in that disgTaee to hnman nature, Pope Alexander the Sixth. [The lecturer ex- hibited drawings of these two heads.] The whole soul of the one was devoted to doing good, and furthering the cause of free opinions whereas the other delighted in nothing but mere animal gratifications, and the amassing of wealth formed his chief ambition. The shape of the brain corresponds to that of the external head; and phrenology teaches us that men with large frontal heads possess more mental ability than those with small, for a convincing proof of which we need only refer to the various races of mankind. In the first rank, of intelligence, we find the large heads of the Caucasian races, while the unintellectual Malay forms the lowest liuk in the chain of which the American, Ethiopian, and Mongolian varie- ties fill up the intermediate spaces. The fine foreheads of the distinguished characters of our own country furnish proofs equally striking of the triumphs of phrenology. Generally speaking, the male head is larger than the female but where the weaker sex rule, the cause will be found to be a larger intel- lectual development; and the same explanation may be given where younger sons command the submission of the older branches of the family. It has been objected to phrenology, that men with small heads exhibit more mental energy than some who are possessed of larger; but this is easily accounted for by differences of temperament, and, so far from showing this science to be unfounded, proves it almost to demonstration. Temper- aments are intimately connected with mental activity and in forming opinions of individual character, this ought never to be lost sight of. The temperaments are four in number-the lym- phatic, sanguineous, bilious, and nervous. Men of lymphatic temperaments are slow and phlegmatic in their habits their intellects are generally sluggish, and their physical frames bulky. The sanguine are men of slight complexions, active, fond of society, and generally loquacious, agreeable companions. The bilious are of dark complexions, persevering characters, and pos- sessed of great mental powers; and the nervous are men of spare bodies, sensitive, and quick-minded. Having concluded this exposition of the science, the lecturer deferred entering into the detail of the individual organs to another time and, assumir; the science to be true, directed his attention to the applications of phrenology to the education of chil- dren. Of this valuable part, we have space only for a short extract. Every member of the human family enters the world with a peculiar cerebral organization, which, according to the circum- stances in which he is placed, will be either repressed or stimu- lated. This science teaches that the organs of children exhibit a growth or development proportioned to the frequency or in- tensity with which they are called into action. From this signi- ficant fact, we are therefore to derive a very important lesson. It is easy to ascertain the leading propensities of a child and if the child is placed in circumstances calculated to stimulate thwm, the organs will acquire increased power for good or evil, and habits, which might have been foreseen and obviated, become in the course of time fixed and ineradicable. The duty of pa- rents is, therefore, to ascertain what is likely to be the character of the child, and repress his propensities by giving no opportu- nities to indulge them, and by devoting his time to other pur- poses, or diverting his mind to other pursuits. It is of the utmost importance for a teacher to know the bent of his pupil's mind, and by causing him to apply his mind betimes to the sphere in which nature intended he should excel, save a great quantity of time which, wanting that knowledge, is too frequently wasted. In all stations, it is useful knowledge, but chiefly so in selecting a partner for life; and by supplying a man with a guide to the formal ion of a prudent choice, enabling him to ensure for himself long enduring matrimonial happiness." At the close of the lecture, a debate took place upon the truth or error of phrenologic science. Mr. Stephens assailed it in a torrent of wit, satire, and logic, concluding with an elabo- rate expose of the present state of scientific opinion upon the matter to which Mr. Shellard replied in a very effective speech, replete with powerful arguments and displaying M intimate ac- quaintance with the best writers on phrenology. Mr. Shellard will deliver at the next meeting a lecture upon "Phrenology applied to Education." We are happy to find that the very spirited supporters of this society are making very rapid pro- gress, and charming very numerous and respectable audiences. B. C.D. CEFN BRYN MOUNTAIN AND ARTHUR'S STONE, GOWER. —Whilst at Swansea during the late Quarter Sessions, we were prevailed upon to accompany a few friends from England on a tour through certain districts of Gower; and among other places we visited Cefn Bryn Mountain and the far-famed Arthur's Stone. Our English friends seemed par- ticularly captivated with the magnificent view from the summit of the hill, and also with the district generally. Arthur's Stone attracted their deep attention for a considetable time; and as it is, unquestionably, an object of great curiosity, we give the give following description of it from a work pub- lished some yearg ago, which description will probably not be unacceptable :—" About ten miles west of Swansea, on the top of a mountain called Cefyn Bryn, in the district of Gower, is a Cromlech, known by the name of Arthur's Stone; most probably from the practice into which the common paople naturally fall, of connecting everything remarkable for its antiquity, the origin of which is obscure or unknown, with the most prominent character in some memorable period of their history.* Cefyn Bryn, in English—* the ridge of the moun- tain,' is a b01d eminence, called by Llwyd in his additions to Camden's Glamorganshire, the most noted hill in Gower' overlooking the Severn Sea, and upon the north-west point of this the cromlech stands. It is (ormed of a stone, is fourteen feet in length and seven feet two inches in depth, being mnch thicker, as supposed, than any similar remains in Wales. Generally speaking, its shape is irregular, but one side has been rendered flat and perpendicular by detaching large pieces to form mill stones. It has eight perpendicular supporters one of which, at the north-west end IS four feet ten inches in height, the entire, height of the structure is therefore eleven feet fottr inches. The supporting stones terminate in small points, on which the whole weight (which cannot be less than twenty five tons) of the cromlech rests. Some few otherstones stand under it apparently intended as supporters, but not now in actual contact. All the component stones are of a hard com • pact] apis molaris (mill stone) of wbich the substratum of the mountain is said to consist. Immediately under the cromlech is a spring of clear water, or 'holy well,' which has obtained the name in Welsh of Our Lady's Well;' a spring thus situated plainly shows that the monument is not sepulchral. The foun- tain and cromlech are surrounded by a heap of loose stones piled in an amphitheatrical form. As we know that the Druids consecrated groves, rocks, caves, lakes, and fountains, to their superstitions, there is little doubt but that Arthur's Stone was erected over one of their sacred springs; it afterwards became a place of Christian assembly for instruction and prayer; and as the adoration of the Virgin began, in the darker ages to vie with, if not altogether eclipse, that of the Saviour of Mankind, the fountain has obtained the name of 'Our Lady's Well.' Arthur's Stone is celebrated in the Welsh Triads, (which are notices of remarkable historical events and other matters conjoined in threes) as one of the stupendous works effected in Britaia; of which Stonehenge ia ¡illother, and Selbury Hill perhaps the tbird. In the Triads it is called the Stone of Sketty, from a place of that name in its neighbourhood, and 'like the works of the Stone of Sketty' has grown into a Welsh proverb to express under- takings of great difficulty. The people who elevated these tnormous masses have left us no written records of their own immediate limes, although their descendants were not slow in lighting their torch at the fiame of human learning. We gather what may be considered but obscure sketches of their customs from the contemporary poets and historians of more polished nations, yet they have scattered British soil with imperishable monuments of existence against which the stomas of two thousand years have wreaked their fury in vain. Though silent witnesses, the antiquary considers them as a link in the tangible records of human history, which connects us in some degree, with the postdiluvian times." In Anglesea, in the northern part of the isle, on the lands of Llugwy, is a s upeadous cromlech, of the hombordal form, called" Arthur s Quart." The greatest diagonal measures seventeen feet two inches, the lesser is fifteen feet, its thick- ness is three feet nine inches. It has several supporting stones, but is not more than two feet from the ground. In Llugwy Woods are several Druidical circles, nearly contiguous to each other.
.THE EISTEDDFODD.
THE EISTEDDFODD. We had prepared a full and elaborate report of the pro- ceedings at this interesting and truly national gathering; but having been obliged by the crowded state of our advertizing columns to suppress it last week, we find that by this time the affair has grown so stale as to render the insertion of any lengthened account a matter of bad judgment: we shall there- fore merely give the following statement respecting the DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES.

iUbtcto of Booftg* A GUIDE TO THE Tows AND NEIGHBOURHOOD OF ABERGA- VENNY." John Whiter J. Hiley Morgan, Abergavenny. We should be greatly wanting in duty to the public, and in gratitude to the author, if we were not to notice this newly published little volume. During our short sojourn at Aberga- venny at the late Cymreigyddion Festival, we found it ex- tremely useful, and highly interesting. It commences with a brief but correctly written-sketch of the History of the Town and Castle of Abergavenny. This chapter, full of varied and startling incident gives the work at the commencement a lively interest, which is kept up unflaggingly to the close of the author's cheap and modest guide. Making the town of Aberga- venny a centre, the description radiates to a distance of about ten miles in various directions; and every object comprised in this extensive circle is transferred in all its picturesque beauty and native grace to its charming pages. Books of travel, if well and properly written, act as reflectors, and in furnishing minutely correct portraitures induce us to look more closely upon the original scenes, where we cannot fail to discover new beauties, which, wanting the commentary, would have remained undiscovered. Such is the character of Mr. White's Guide. The writer is undoubtedly a man of discernment, possessed of a keen perception and appreciation of natural beauty; and in these times of perpetual bustle, it is quite refreshing to find a volume breathing the purest poetic spirit, and studded with lively descriptions of a most lovely country. To the temporary sojourner, the local history must make an useful reference, and the rambler should never travel over the neighbouring country without taking this volume as a guide and companion, as it is infinitely superior in matter and style to books of this class. The only fault it has, is one of the most amiable kind, and one which but few readers will quarrel with-it is, that the author has too little reliance upon the ability which he unquestionably possesses. Our limited space does not admit of as lengthy quotations as we could wish, and as the work deserves; but before we part, we will have the author's description of the scene from the top of the Blawreng:— Reader! have you at any time stood upon'the summit of one of the mountains of Gwent, and gazed thence on the grand concentration of Welsh and English scenery—hill and dale, river and streamlet, mighty woods and waving cornfields, and all that can make a landscape lovely ? And have you never felt a warm gush of feeling thrilling your bosom—au almost enthusiastic fervour—at beholding the sublime and beautiful so gorgeously mingled. If so, you will readily join with me in lamenting that so few are alble to climb and participate in this happiness. Good heavens! must scenes like these expand- Scenes so magnificently grand; And millions breathe and pass away Unbless'd throughout their little day With one short glimpse.'—BLOOMFIELD. The scenery as viewed from the Blawreng is magnificent beyond description. It seems as though Nature had exhausted her powers upon the spot. There is the rugged rock, and grace- fully undulating plain-here the rich pastures, and there the winding river—yonder the tall woods, and near to them are the waving cornfields. What could be more happily blended than the craggy greatness of the Scyrryd Vawr with the exuberant luxuriance of its declining slope, and the valley beneath it ? See the little Scyrryd further towards the South, covered with the richest foliage/ The dim peak of Pen y Val" rises majes- tically in a northern direction, and "scowls sentinel-like upon the sleeping world below." The gentle risings of the ground form so pleasing a contrast with the rougher parts of the scenery, that the eye is delighted wherever it rests. Far southward may be dimly seen the Bristol channel; while opposite, the verdant vale of tCrickhoweII stretches to a point in the distant per. •pective." The boek U well printed* B.C.D,

tfBtgceilaneoujs* BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET; Oct. 29.-There is a total stagnation in our market, and the sales of the week do not reach 50 hhds. The importers having confidence in the stability of prices do not press sales, and lower rates would not be accepted. There is but little doing in Rum, the stocks in first hands being very small. A. NEW REMEDY FOR DISEASED POTATOES.—A cor- respondent of the Waterford Mail" says :—" We know a certain chapel, in a town of one of the adjoining counties, where a lucrative trade is carried on in blessed water,' which the wretched peasantry are induced to believe will cure the rot in the potatoes. Hundreds have been crowding to the friars, who manufacture this miraculous fluid, during the present week, and carrying it away in bottles full, for which they pay in proportion to their size. They imagine that by sprinkling it on the fields, the disease in the plants will be arrested." THE OAT CROP.—The oat crop in Ireland this year is abundant. One farmer in Mitchelstown has thrashed in the county of Limerick 400 stone to the Irish acre, and in the above neighbourhood it will average three hundred stone to the plantation acre. FREEMAN, THE AMERICAN GIANT.—This well-known pugilist and performer is no more. He expired in Win- chester Hospital on Saturday week. His complaint was consumption—we might almost say atrophy. He was wasted to a complete skeleton. SOURCE OF POLITICAL CORRUPTION IN THE REPUB- LIC OF THE UNITED STATES.—Attached to the General Post Office, Revenue, and Light-house Departments, there are 33,000 officials there are in each state about 2000, making altogether 54,000 thus the general and state governments together have the patronage of 87,000 appointments. This does not include the army or navy and the hosts of persons employed in the executive offices of the general and state governments.—Montreal paper. PRESENT TO HER MAJESTY.—The Bombay," Capt. Furley, an East India trader, 1400 tons, has arrived in London. She is the property of Sir J. Pirie and Co., and has made aquick passage, having come from Bombay in little more than fourteen weeks, and the whole time occupied in her outward and homeward voyages, includ- ing that of receiving the freight, has not been more than ten months. She has brought a cargo of cotton, silks, shawls, &c., of the estimated value of £ 250,000, including four beautiful Arabian horses, which, together with their housings, valued at £1000 per horse, are forwarded as a present to her Majesty by that celebrated Parsee merchant Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy. They were brought over in the most excellent condition, chiefly through the care of Mr. Randen, riding-master of the Bombay Royal Artil- lery. They were debarked on Saturday, and transmitted to Her Majesty's stables. LECTURE TO HUSBANDS.—At the Liverpool police court on Saturday, two tradesmen were summoned before Mr. Rushton for having assaulted and otherwise ill- treated their wives. The women, neither of whom had yet attained their thirtieth year, told their melancholy tales. One, who was 'enceinte, was beaten because she had notther husband's coffee sufficiently hot to please his palate iWen he returned home at half-past one in the morning from Swainson's tailoring establishment, Castle- street, where he was employed as a journeyman. The other was also beaten by her husband when he came home, about the same hour in the morning, the worse for liquor; and this was not the first occasion upon which the defendants had maltreated their unfortunate partners for life. Take them both into custody," said Mr. Rushton, until they find bail to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects, but particularly towards their wives. Decent fellows (he added) when they get a drop are generally fond of the women. Feeling husbands, when their wives are in a certain way, love them more dearly than almost they loved them before. But here, because the one has got a drop, and the other does not find his coffee to his liking, they set to and strike the females. The only way to deal with such fellows is to send them to gaol." And to gaol they were accordingly sent. Within the last fortnight several government officials have been examining the state of the ramparts and other defences of Berwick. It is known that government have in contemplation some extensive plan for the improve- ment of the means of defence of our coasts, in the view of hostilities breaking out with the United States, in con- sequence of the grasping aggressions of that power, and its infringement of our territorial rights on the North American continent. It is not improbable, therefore, that at no distant date, the fortifications of Berwick may be put into a state of efficiency, the batteries mounted with cannon, and sufficient force of military lodged in the barracks to repel temporarily the attack of an enemy.— Berwick Warder. Several cart loads of potatoes were seized by the police in Carlisle market on Saturday week, being in a state unfit for human food. Besides the forfeiture of the potatoes, penalties were inflicted upon their owners for exposing them for sale. In deference to the letter of the Bishop of Exeter, the Rev. Subdean Stephens, and the Rev. H. Twysden, of Charlton, have requested their names to be withdrawn from the provisional committee of the Dartmouth, Tor- bay, and Exeter Railway. Dr. Lardner, in a letter to the Times, dated Paris, Oct. denies, that he ever, on any occasion, made a state- ment to the effect that to cross the Atlantic by steam was mathematically impossible." On the highly cultivated farm in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Wright, North Runcton, near Lynn, several turnips, of the old Norfolk pudding species, were last week drawn, averaging 32 inches in circumference, one. measured 3 {..pt, wolglwil 1ft poundo. A few days ago, Mr. C. Sewell, chemist, Boston, Lin- colnshire, died from the effects of an inveterate habit of smoking cigars. He frequently consumed thirty a day, which had brought on so great a debility, that he died from the rupture of a small blood vessel. RUMOUR OF THE NEW ORDER OF COUNCIL FOR SUS- PENDING THE CORN LAWS.—We have learned enough to assure our readers and the public, that this report, which on Tuesday and Wednesday last was so generally circulated, is wholly without foundation, and that nothing has occurred of sufficient consequence to excite any im- mediate alarm in the government as to the eventual com- petency of the corn and provision market, supplied as it may be, if need requires, from the foreign stock which would be let loose by the ordinary operations of the law. -Bell's Messenger. DEATH OF SIR MATTHEW TIERNEY.-Thig eminent physician, who was one of the oldest inhabitants of Brighton, died on Tuesday morning, at his residence, Pavilion-parade, Brighton, after a short illness arrising from an attack of the gout. The deceased was physician in ordinary to George IV., whose personal friendship he had the honour to enjoy for a great number of years, and also to William IV., and the royal household when in Brighton. He was born in November, 1776, and was consequently in his 69th year. PHOSPHORUS PASTE TO DESTROY RATS AND MICE.- Take of phosphorus eight parts. Liquify it in 180 parts of luke-warm water. Pour the whole into a mortar, and add immediately 180 parts of rye-meal. When cold, mix in 180 parts of butter melted, and 125 parts of sugar. Rats and mice eat it with avidity, after which they swell out and soon die. It will retain its efficacy for many years.—Published by an Ordonnance of the Government of Prussia.—[This paste is supposed to be equal to arsenic in its effects and that it is almost impossible to employ it for the intentional poisoning of human beings. Some of it is to be placed where the rats and mice frequent.] FEARFUL ACCIDENT IN A COAL-PIT.—We regret to state that a frightful accident, involving the loss of no less than five lives, occurred on Saturday at the Sound well Coal-pit, at Fishponds, about four miles from Bristol. The report of the accident speedily spread through the neighbourhood, and caused the utmost consternation among the families of those persons engaged in the pits, who ran frantically to the neighbourhood of the pit in order that they might learn the extent of the calamity. It appears that on Saturday afternoon the workmen em- ployed at the Upper Sound well pit, the property of Mr. Samuel Whittuck, were leaving their work, and five of their number had entered the basket, or cart," as it is termed by the coal miners, for the purpose of being drawn up to the mouth of the pit, when the rope suddenly broke when they were upwards of half way up, and they were precipitated to the bottom of the pit. In addition to the five who had entered the cart, a sixth man was getting into it, and was also dragged down'with it. Four of the unfortunate men were killed instantly, and the fifth expired after lingering in great agony for about three quarters of an hour. The man who had not en- tered the basket was dreadfully mangled, his arm being fractured in so bad a manner as to require immediate amputation, which was skilfully performed, but the poor sufferer now lies in a very dangerous state, which alfnost precludes all hope of his recovery. The alarm having been given, a rope was procured as soon as possible from another pit, and the bodies were drawn up, presenting a frightful spectacle. The scene at this moment was truly heart-rending, the mouth of the pit being surrounded by children calling for their fathers, and wives for their hus- bands. We have ascertained that the names of the five men killed are William Harris, 60 years of age, leaving a wife and large family, most of whom are, however, married; Thomas Bird, aged 40, leaving a wife and five children; William Bassett, aged between 60 and 70; Benjamin Wilshire, 33, leaving a wife and three children and John Porter, 30, leaving a wife and six children. The man who has been injured is named George Britten, and has also a wife and large family. ADMISSION OF DOCUMENTS IN EVIDENCE.—A very useful Act of Parliament respecting the admission of certain official and other documents in evidence will come into force in a few days. The Act is 8 and 9 Vic., c. 113, and was very briefly mentioned on a former occasion. Its general importance, however, requires that it should be known. By various statutes now in being, documents are receivable in evidence, provided they be authenticated as prescribed, but the difficulty has been to prove that they are genuine. That difficulty is now removed, and from the 1st November, all documents which are now received on authentication, are to be admitted, provided they res- pectively purport to be sealed, or impressed with a stamp, or sealed, or sealed and signed, or signed alone, as re- quired, or impressed with a stamp, and signed as directed by any Act made or hereafter to be made, without any proof of the seal or of the signature thereon. Henceforth, courts, &c., are to take judicial notice of the signature of j equity or common law judges attached to any legal docu- ment. Copies of private Acts, journals of Parliament and proclamations, are to be admissible as evidence. Persons forging a seal or signature, &c., to be imprisoned or transported. A document may, on suspicion of being forged, or improperly sealed, be impounded. The Act is not to extend to Scotland, and is appointed to take effect November Int. A

BANKERS.—The Commercial Bank of London. Messrs. Wilkins, and Co., Carmarthen and Llanelly. SECRETARY pro tem.—Mr. H. W. Sewell. THIS Railway is proposed to be made with a view to its forming a Junction in the most important part of South Wales with three other projected Lines, viz., the South Wales, the Welsh Midland, and the North and South Wales, whereby communication will be formed with North Wales and Ireland, London, Bristol, Glou- cester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the whole of the Northern Manufacturing Districts, and also with the Coasts of Devon and Cornwall, and will accommodate the following Towns in the vicinity of the Line, Carmarthen, Llandilo, Llangadock, Dan. dovery, Trecastle, Brecon, Hay, Ciickhowel, Aber- gavenny, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, Neath, Lloughor, Llanelly, Kidwelly, Laugharne, St. Clears, Narberth, Haverfordwest, Milford, Cardigan, Newcastle Emlyn, .Pembroke, H. M. Dockyard at Pater and the fashionable Watering Places of Aberystwith, Tenby, Lanstephan, and the Ferry side. Commencing at Burryport, Pembrey, Carmarthen- shire, a harbour of recent formation, but unequalled in point of situation, depth of water, and safe anchorage for Ships by any other Tidal Harbour on the whole of the Wellh Coast the Line will be carried close to the Village of Pembrey, in a westward direction about one mile and a half, where it is intended to cross the South Wales Railway, from here, taking a course to the North, it will proceed through the Gwendraeth Vale, passing the Villages of Pontyates, Ponthenry, Llangendeirne, Pontyberem, Porthyrhyd, Llanddarog to Llanarthney, near to which place it is intended to intersect the Line of the Welsh Midland at a point about six miles from Llandilo and nine from Carmarthen, and on from this point up the Vale of Cothi, passing the Villages of Llanegwad, Brechfa, Abergorlech, Edwinsford, and Llansawel to Lampeter, where it will form a Junction with the North and South Wales Railway, and com- pleting a distance, including branches, of about fifty- four miles. It is intended to connect the Line with the coal, marble, and mineral districts. The Line presents no engineering difficulties, and the country through which it passes abounds with the materials necessary for its construction. Should it become necessary, arrangements will be made for the continuation of the Line from near Edwins- ford to Rhayader, and to form a junction with other projected Railways. This Railway will proceed for the first 20 miles through a most important mineral district abounding with bituminous anthracite and steam-coals, iron, fire-clay, limestone, black marble, slate, flagstone, copper, and lead ores, and the remainder of the distance across an agricultural country, thus connecting these several districts with the sea and with each other. It is quite obvious that great benefit must also result to the Landowners by the construction ot this Railway, in insuring the cheap delivery of Coal and Lime, both essential to the welfare of the Farmer. Thousands of acres of convertible land are now lying barren for want of the means of procuring lime as manure at a moderate cost, which is scarcely to be ob- tained from the heavy charge for transit, in common carts, over bad roads. The traffic in coals, lime, slate, copper and lead ore, timber, cattle, and every description of live stock and agricultural produce, which already exists to a large extent, must receive great impulse from the convenience and economy of this line of Railway. The great interchange of commodities between the manufacturing, the mining, and the agricultural districts, will ensure a large revenue, independently of passenger traffic, which must. necessarily be of great extent, the line forming a connecting link between many main lines, communicating with every part of the United Kingdom. It is estimated that even the present traffic of the Gwendraeth Vale alone in' coal and lime is of itself sufficient, to pay a fair percentage on the capital required for this Railway, leaving out all the other sources of ^The value of the Land generally required for the Line is within the average cost.. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtaiued, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control, of the Committee of Management, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of the expenses incurred in its formation and in the preparation of the Plans and Sections to be sub- mitted to Parliament. Preference will be given in the allotment of Shares to the Landed Proprietors and others locally interested in the Line. Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee of Manage- ment-to raise an additional capital; to abandon any part of the Line, to make Branch Lines, or enter into arrangements with any other Company or Companies and atso to nominate the first Directors of the Company. The Deeds will provide that no Call shall be made on the Shareholders beyond the Deposit until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per Cent. interest on all Calls. The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be ready for signature on payment of the deposits.

They are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth where the gums have shrunk from the use of calolllel or other causes.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We regard the work before ii s, The Silent Friend as a work embracing most clear and practical views of 'a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable iinores- sion on our mind that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages. -Age and Argus. "The Authors of I'he Silent Friend" seem to be tho roughly conversant with the treatment of a class of com plaints which are we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail,to recommend it to a careful perusal.Era.

CORN EXCIIkNGE-.Nlo-, DAY.
CORN EXCIIkNGE-.Nlo-, DAY. MARK LANF..—MONDAY.—Since last Wednesday we have been largely supplied with English Wheat, much of which is of inferior quality, and all such descriptions are only rateable at a. decline oi Is. to 2s. per quarter, but tine old wheat and free foreign about maintain prices. In bonded we have not had any transactions, but holders are very linn, and not much is offer- ing. Fine malting is scarce, and inquired after, and grinding qualities Is. po^arter dearer. The supply of oats is small, and bonded are 2s. to 3s. per quarter dearer than this day week, and a similar advance is paid for free by needy buyers. Beans and peas of all descriptions are Is. per quarter dearer. There has been more inquiry for last year's red clover seed, and hold- ers are asking all advance in price. Some fine parcels have been sold this morning at a small advance upon last week's prices. White clover moves slowly though higher rates are demanded. The same observations will apply to trefoil.
