Hodgkinson and Marsh, (the Engineers,) that the above Kailway (first proposed to be constructed as a single line, the whole distance of 24 Miles and 31 Chains, at an estimated expence of £ 240,000) will cost with a double line from and along the Newport Wharfs to Pontypool, the sum of £ 275,000. The estimated Revenue is as under:- E. s. d The average annual income from the Iron Works, now established on the line at lgd. per ton per mile for conveyance, and Rail- way dues, will be at least. 11,000 0 0 The Passenger traffic at very moderate fares.. 11,968 15 0 The Coal traffic, 300,000 tons per annum of House and Steam Coal carried 13 miles, on the average at ljd. per ton, per mile, in- eluding every expense 20,312 10 "ft (The present Coal Trade of the Town of Newport, averages 700,000 tons per an- num, and the cost of transit on the" exist- ing Tramways and Canals, is not much less than 2d. per ton per mile.)

An Act for the incorporation of a Company for making and maintaining the above Railway, will be applied for at the commencement of ensuing the 3ession all the notices for that purpose having been duly given,—plans deposited, &c., according to the orders of the two Houses of Parliament. It is proposed that this Act shall contain all the powers, provisoes, and clauses, usually inserted in Railway Acts, which limit the liability of the Shareholders to the extent of their shares. The proceedings in Parliament will be conducted by the Provisional Committee, who will give their gratuituous per- sonal services for that purpose. Immediately after the Act shall have been obtained, a General Meeting of the Share- holders will be called for the Election of the Committee of Management. A deposit of £5 on each E50 Share is required to be forthwith paid into one of the undermentioned Banking- houses, or their respective Branches: Messrs.

Dated this day of 1843. NAME, RESIDENCF., DESIGNATION, To the Provisional Committee of the Newport and Nantyglo Railway Company, New- port, Monmouthshire. By Order of the Provisional Committee, R. J. BLEWITT, Newport, January 12th, 1843. Chairman. REPORT OF MESSRS. HODGKINSON & MARSH, CIVIL EGINEERS, On a projected line of Railway from Newport to Nantyglo, in the County of Monmouth, passing through the Town of Pontypool, to Pontnewydd, Pentwyn, Abersychan, Golynos and Varteg Iron Works, through the Llanhilleth Monntain, the Cwm Celyn, Blaina, Coalbrook Vale, and Nantyglo Iron Works. The plan prepared by Mr. Morris, Surveyor, shows the line of proposed Railway which will pass through a district admirably adapted for the undertaking, affording every fa- cility for the construction of the road, abounding with excellent Stone for Building and Lime, and where Rails, Timber, and other materials, may be obtained at little ex- pense of carriage, possessing also a constant supply of Water for Locomotive and other purposes. The length of the line with its branches will be 24 miles and 31 chains. The main line commences at a point near Jack's Pill, between the New Ship Dock and the River Usk, Newport, at an elevation of 17 feet, and proceeds upon a level to the Cardiff Road, thence by a Plane of G02 yards, at an inclination of 1 in 13, to the site of the intended Pas- senger Station at Stow Hill thence to High Cross, Cross Hanbro, Pantyr' Eos, Cocky-North, and Mr. Hanson's Incline-plane, a distance of 6 miles, at a gradient of 1 in 157, from thence to Green Meadow, across the Incline-plane from Cwmbran Colliery to Cwmbran and Pontymoile (between which latter places a junction with the Brecon Canal may be easily attained, with a good gradient, should that Canal he converted into a Railroad, and at which point, also, a very convenient communication may be made with the Pontymoile Rolling Mills and Tin Works), to the in- tended Station at Stow Hill, Pontypool, and Pontnewydd Iron Rolling Mills, a distance of 5 miles, at a gradient of I in 227, thence by a plane of 8ö8 yards, at an inclination of I in 12, to the junction of the proposed branch, which leads to the Pentwyn, Abersychan, and Golynos Iron Works, a distance-of 2948 yards, at a gradient of 1 in 10*2, and into the grounds of the Varteg Works, a distance of 726 yards, making the total length of this branch 2 miles and 7 chains. The main line passes up C wm Nant Dclit, by several Coal and Mine Works, through the Llanhilleth Mountain (well known for its produce of a superior quality of Coal), by a tunnel 2420 yards in length and will pass through a vein of coal for a considerable distance (which will greatly facili- tate the formation of the same) to the Aberystruth Valley, passing various Coal Work to Cwm Tilery, and within a few hundred yards of the newly-opened and important works in that valley, to the Iron Works at Cwm Celyn and Blaina, with a short branch (352 yards) to the grounds of the Coal- brook Vale Co., to and terminating at the Nantyglo Iron Works, a distance of 8 miles and 29 chains, at a gradient of 1 in 133. 6 The total length of the main line from its commencement near Newport Docks to Nantyglo, is 21 miles, and 23 chains, being a shorter distance than the present lines of conveyance. The curves on the main line are in no instance of less radius than a quarter of a mile, and only in a few places has so small a one been introduced. The two incline planes may be self-acting—the descend- ing load bringing up the ascending, but the expense of engines is included in the estimate to work in case of need. The rate of travelling upon this line may with great safety be 30 miles per hour, which is more than double the speed required for the profitable carriage of heavy goods as found by experience on other lines. The main line of Railway will be double from Newport to Pontypool, with a double line to communicate with the Wharfs, from Jack's Pill to Newport Bridge, and the re- maining portion, with its branches, will be a single line of way. The total cost of the main line and branches when completed, we estimate as follov-s: jC. s. d. Construction of Railway and branches including stations, incline engines &c.,&c 227843 2 6 Contingencies 10 per cent. 22784 6 3 £ 250627 8 9 Locomotive engines and other stock re- quired for working the line and branches 24372 11 3 Total cost JE375000 0 0 We are of opinion, that the whole of the above works, with a single line only (as originally intended), would not have exceeded E240,000, the amount stated in the original prospectus.

Under the immediate sanction of the PRESIDENT of the COLLEGE of P HYSlCIA NS, For Acidities, heartburn, headache, gout, indigestion, &c. THE great advantages of this elegant preparation are, that, being in a FLuin STATE, and possessing all the properties of Magnesia ill general use, it is not liable to form dangerous concretions in the bowels; it corrects ACIDITY and HI-ARTBURN effectually, without «• injuring the COATS OF THE STOMACH," as Carbonate of Soda and Potash are known to do it prevents THE FOOD OF INFANTS TURNING SOUR DURlNft DIGLISTLON; it is very useful in cases of GOUT, G RA V EL, and other complaints of the BLADDER and. in all cases it acts a pleading aperient peculiarly adapted for Females,particularly during PREGNANCY. I he high testimonials received in favour of Mr. Dinneford's preparation from the most eminent members in every branch of the medical profession, has established its superiority on an irre- fragable basis, and placed it at once beyond the reach of com- petition.

I conscientiously bear testimony to the correctness of the above results. r, (s'gned) •< c. H. WILKINSON, AI.D. Dated, Oct. 23, 1810.

Irans|atorof the Pharmacopoeia, Lecturer on Pharmaceutical Chemistry. &c JEKOMg MORGAN, Esq., Surgeon to the General Dispen- sary, and Practical Chemist, Dublin, who also analyzed Sir James Murray's Compound.

This Institution is empowered by a Special Act of Parliament, and is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life Assurance in their fullest extent to Policy-Holders, and to present greater facilities and accommoOction than are usually offered by other Companies. The decided superiority of its plan, and its claim to public preference and support, have been proved incontestably, by its extraordinary and unprecedented sncccss. Assurances May either be effected by Parties on their own Lives, or by Parties interested therein on the Lioe. of others The effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other means be realized. Take, for instance, the case of a person at the age of Thirty, who by the payment of 51. 3s.4d. to the Britannia Life Aee CoiBTpAny, csn become at once possesse d of a bequeathable property, amounting to 10001., subject only to the condition of his continuing the same payment quarterly during the remainder of his life,—a condition which may be fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGs weekly in his expenditure Thlls, by the exertion of a very slight degree of economy-snch indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenicnce, he may at once realize a capital of WOOL" which he can bequeath or dis- pose of in any way he may think proper.
