This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester and Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and Southampton Railways; thus forming an uninterrupted line of communication from the South of Ireland, through Fishguard and Milford, in Pembrokeshire, to Glouces- ter, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn, below Gloucester, thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be en- countered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and districts upon the in tended lines that accommodation which their importance entitles them to. The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passmg to the eastward of Chepstow, will be carried on this line; added to which, the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean, (which, from the eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated, upon authentic documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons; and from the Western or Lydney and Chepstow •ide, the same amount of traffic may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per annum (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line, independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in the produce of the forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities offered hy the proposed railroad. The revenue from this source alone will give a very hand- some dividend upon the capital to be expended, which it is ex- pected will not exceed three-fourths of the intended capital. It is proposed to make branches to the collieries and iron works in the Forest, to the present or any new ports which may suggest themselves, on the Severn; and to make the River Wye, at Chepstow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter, free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands in that river. It is intended to build a bridgeacrossthe Severn at Glouces- ter, which will in no way obstruct the navigation; and the pro- posed Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to join this company in the expanse, if they obtain their Act The cost of the intended line from Chepstow to Glouces- ter, including the bridge at Gloucester, nd the one over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join the Soutu Wales, witb branches to the collieries, iron works, and the Severn, is not expected to exceed JE450,000, but it is intended to provide a capital of JE600,000, to meet any contingencies which may arise. A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parliament for a Railroad from Fishguard and Milford Ha- ven to Chepstow), in connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdom, at Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, vid Cheltenham and Oxford; for effecting which, pro- jects are now before the public, with most influential support. The line is 26 miles in length, has no engineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are extremely good. and works light. It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom wnich offers greater advantages to the shareholdets than the present. Pro- vision will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be ap- plied for in the next session, to limit the liability of the share- holder to the amount of his shares, and to allow four per cent. on the calls. Applications for shares, in the form annexed, to be made to the Solicitors; or to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Thread- needle-street, and Messrs. Backhouse and Co., No. 4, Angel- court, Throgmorton-street, London; Messrs. Hall, Brothers, and Co., Cheltenham; Messrs. Tate and Nash, Bristol; Mr. Thomas Evans, Bath; Messrs.

Harm SYDENHAM'S ANTIBtUOUS APERIENT £ >& £ £ £ && or For Both Sexes, ENTIRELY VEG ET ABLE, Prepared from the Prescription of that eminent piivsician, Dr. SYDENHAM, who was justly styled the Father of Modern Medicine*" A most valuable remedy for Bilious and Liver Complaints, indigestion, 1-1 ead-Ache, Giadiness, Loss of Appetite, Flatulency, Gout, Rheuma- tism, Heartburn, Spasms, Lowness of Spirits, Costiveness, &c. THES E celebrated FAMILY PILLS have been faithfully dis- pensed by the present Proprietor tor more than 30 yea is, and have obtained from all gnries of the cimirmiruty a character and reputation which no medicine of a similar nature has hitherto acquired. Dr. SYDENHAM'S PILLS beinsr a most happy combination of vegetable matter, and not containing any mercu- rial preparation, require neither confinement nor alteration of diet during ;heir use Moderate exercise increases their good effects. They may be taken at any time when the bowels are costive and uneasy and Sydenham's Pills should be taken bv persons of all ages, as they assist digestion, coiiect excesses of the table, give a healthy action and tone to the stomach, remove all complaints to which the digestive organs are subject, and will lead to heabh and cheerful old age. Families and the Proprietois oftioaiding Schools should never be without an adequate supply of this Admirable Family Medi- cine, as SVÐlõNIIAM S PILLS may be resoiied to with the greatest safety and success, on the fiist appearance of indisposition, and, by adopting this practice, many serious, and too ofteu, fatal attacks will be entirely presented. The following is the opinion of an eminent Physician, prac- tising extensively in Bristol and Ciifton :— I have examined the composition of Dr. Sydenham's Pills, and consider them a very valuable remedy in all complaints to which the Digestive Organs are subject especially Bilious Af- fections. and an innumerable variety of diseases which are the consequences of an i) regular and impeifcct action of the "rnxus jf digettion m The most delicate females, the young aid a~ed prefer SY- DENHAM'S PILLS to most other aperients, as they are beneficial 10 their general health, improve their appearance, and. heiti^ a VFOETABI-K. Pni-PARAIION. are, at onre, mild, safe, and effectual The high opinion entertained of SYI>R*H*M s FAMILY I'ILLS, t)y many of the most eminent of the Faculty, in piesent prac- ;ice. (as well as the number of gratifying Tt-stimonials the Pro- prietor is contantly receiving from persons of the highest res- pectability and standing in society, who have been mateiialiy senefitted by their use,) renders any euiogium on their merits mpeifiuous, and must convince the most sceptical of the supe- rior properties of this valuable estabtishf t medicine, acknow- odged by thousands as the bat, sa/eot, and most effectual Family Medicine. These Pills are tent abroad by the London expertins; houses Merchants and Captuns ot vessels will find them an almost nd"pensable acquisition to their Medicine Chests, and they are io prepared as to retain their medicinal properties in any ext. erne )f Climate.

ARRIVAL or TUR GRhAT BHITAIN AT NEW YOUK.—By the arrival of the Cambria we learn that the Great Britain, which eft Liverpool on the 26th of July. reached New York, after a rough passage of constantly wpsteily winds, in 14 day:! 21 hours. Sbe arrived on Sunday afternoon, and was welcomed by thousands of spectators. She was pronounced "beautiful," and thtt greatest wonder was expressed at her extraordinary dimensions. Her engines worked admirably, and were never stopped all the way. The passengers addressed a compiimen tarv letter to Captain HosktD. The New York Heruld says :— We yesterday visited this sea-monster, and were astonished even far beyond our expectations. We expected to see a great ship, but our ideas had not expanded themselves into such a degree of hugeness. When compared with the I big shins' which lie about here, she appears a"e a mountain atmng mole- hills, or a Gulliver striding over the Lilliputians." The Herald then gives a complimentary description of the ship, and con- cludes:— Since the Great Britain has been here, only three days, she has been visited by nearly three thousand persons, which, at 371 cents, a-piece, will amount to about a thousand dollars, a snug little sum. But no one wid regret paying t..e small price charged for admission, while the opportunities for leeing are far better than if there were no charge." A FAMINE IN POLAND.—'The distress in Po!and is extremely great. The poor people penetrate in crowds into our provinre (Insterberg), and fall on the fields of peas and potatoes the reas are imtuedia^e y devoured raw-the stai'<s of the nota- toes are cut down. and b iled and eat n in the fi°ld. A de- tacbmentof troops has been sent to protect our frontier.- Prussian Paper. A correspondent informs na that the Rev. Dr. Joseph Wolflr has taken up his residence at Mechlin, and has ac- cepted the chaplaincy of the English Protestant chapel there, where he -,vill perform Divine service every Sunday.—Brussels 1 G aiette. A most daring attempt to effect an escape from the Swansea House of Correction was made on Sunday afternoon last, by two prisoners, named Charles Williams and Thomas Morgan, lately committed for trial at the next assizes, on a charge of highway robbery of a large sum of money and great violence to the party robbed—the messenger of the Forest Copper Works, Morrison. It appeared that they succeeded in inducing the under turnkey to enter the day-room of thrir ward, for the purpose of attending V a prisoner, who th-y said had suddenly been seized by a serious illness. Immediately on his entering the room, both prisoners attacked him by the throat, wrung the keys from him, bolted out, fastening the door upon the turnkey with the other prisoner Having in thrir progress through the various apartments fastened every door behind them, they boldly made for the outer door of the prison; just before reaching which, they were surprised, and :.ot a little disconcerted, hy the appearance of the governor and head turn- key, who had been watching their manoeuvres. Thinking that further resistance would be useless, they returned quietly to their quartere, where it was deemed necessary, in addition to the other inconveniences of imprisonment, to farther burden them with a pair of heavy leg irons each.

To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. SIR,—Letters have repeatedly found place in your columns touching upon the discreditable neglect on the part of the Sur- veyors of this town, in the fulfilment of the duties required by the Act in suppressing the many nuisances with which the town abounds. Not only have the inhabitants found fault with their conduct, but even strangers have Utken up the cause. One complains of being nearly unhorsed, in passing through the town and another observes that Rome" has been noted for its rise as well as its fall, and that Usk is now becoming famous for Its pigs. Contrary to the once empress of the world, Usk only commenced a rise towards improvement in neatness by the- determined perseverance of the efficient surveyors alluded to in a letter of the 19th of July last, when it was nipped in the bud by other officers succeeding them, who would rather see the town relapse into its former filthy state than lend a helping hand to further its prosperity, and suffer the genus SIt., to per- amhulate the town in such numbers, and wallowing in the mud, which is well known to be a. more necessary article to the toilet of the pig than pomatum or bear's grease to the beaux of the 19th century. It is rumoured, as an excuse for their neglect, that the Sur- veyors intend to pass over this year without a rate. Allow me to ask any discerning mind whether it is policy to do so whilst so much requires alteration to make the borough appear decent ? I cannot give the parties credit for a charitable feeling towards the inhabitants in not levying a third rate. They may give it out as a reason for their neglect of duty, but can any intelligent person be gulled by such pretensions, when their real motive cannot be any other than to throw the trouble of collecting a rate upon their successors in the following year, which must, consequently, be of greater amount than would be otherwise necessary, yid then boast of their ability and economy in le- lieving a parish from a tax—can any person endowed with a spark of reason be deceived by such subterfuge ? But even were their kind feelings towards their fellow townsmen the cause of exempting them from a rate allowed, I suppose they will next urge that their susceptible and kind hearts will nut permit them to impound the pigs of their neighbours, or restrict them from the privilege of throwing filth into the highway. Hoping the lesson taught the parishioners this year will cause them to make a more judicious selection of officers the ensuing one, I am, Sir, yours obediently, AN INHABITANT. Usk, August 26th, 1845.

ABERGAVENNY AND CRICKHOWELL HORTICUL- TURAL SOCIETY. To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. SIR,—The subjects of Horticulture and Floriculture have of late years excited the attention of all classes of the ccmnmnity, from the highest in rank in the land to the humblest peasant; and with gratitudeVill the philosopher and the philanthropist observe this march in the iutellcctual and moral advancement of the people for what is there better calculated to incite the activity of the miud in a love for science; or what better adapted to entice the vicious from his haunt, or encourage the honest and the upright in their course, by affording occupation for their leisure hours. It is with gratification we find Societies of this description in active operation in almost every county in the kingdom, giving a stimulus to these most laudable pursuits; and, in many places, each district has its association for the same purpose yet the vale of Crickhowell, a. spot which has been so happily termed "The Garden of South Wales," and the rich and beautiful neighbourhood of Abergavenny are without them. For a long period it has been the earnest desire of many lovers of horti culture and floriculture, to establish one, so as to include these two beautiful spots in the circle of operations, but in conse- quence of circumstances, which it would be to no purpose to particularise, obstacles have always presented themselves an d their efforts frustrated. At length, however, an association has been formed, and with very flattering prospects of success. A great number of ladies and gentlemen have already enrolled their names, as subscribers of ten shillings per annum, and a committee of sixteen gentlemen, with power to add to their number, has been formed, to carry into effect the desirable ob- jects of such associations, namely, the encouragement of horti- culture and floriculture, in their various branches, amongst amateurs, gardeners, and cottagers. It is proposed to term it the Abergavenny and Crickhowell Horticultural Society, and that three shows are to be held in the year, one each in the months of May, July, and September, in Abergavenny and Crickhowell alternately; when prizes will be awarded tor the Lest productions of shrubs, flowers, fruits, and vegetables. I am, sir, your obliged servant, JAMES SAUNDERS. Abergavenny. August, 1815. —See Advertisement. ♦

To the Editor of the Monmouthshire JMerlin. SIR,—I happened, the other day, to obtain a sight of the following laconic, and, at the same time, very tolerant epistle, addressed to a gentleman in the neighbourhood of Pontypool, and intended as an answer to a bill sent for tithes to the amount of 2s. 4d. This very apostolic letter, ironically speakiu* was written by a certain theological tutor." 45' Yours, &c. OBSERVER The following is a copy of the letter :— DEAR Sia,—I should be very sorry to give you a moments unnecessary trouble, but I am compelled again to decline the payment ot the tithe rent charge.' I dare not become a party »n the support of the ecclesiastical lady' that in this country rtdes in meretricious pomp on the back of the state beast'— Rev. xvii.

It would be unnecessary to add another word in addition to the 3.bOVl' note; but we cannot forbear saying, we deeply lament that this Christian Minister should be so unmindful of the pre- cepts laid down in the New Testament as to forget the com- mand of Christ—Render, therefore, unto Cesar the things which be Cresar's; and unto God the things which be God's.

To lh, Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. SIR,—If the "Gentleman of the Principality" conceives that he has any right to know any thing respecting the trans actions of the Cymreigyddion Society." [ wOIIIJ advise him to come and see." I am now too busily engaged preparing for the Eisteddfod to take anc further nutice of the" Gentle. man" ( ? ) or his letters.—Yours, &c. HKNRY MORGAN. Abergavenny, September 4, 1845*

To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. SIR.—Many thanks to you for the honour done me by ap- portioning so large a part of your very valuable sp ,ce to my name. It shows that her Majesty and Prince Albert are abroad or otherwise you would not require so poor a. substitute for court news as your very obedient servant, HENRY MORGAN.

To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. To be or uot to be ? Tbat'i the question." SIR,—In your last notice to correspondents you have, to one and all of the high contending parties we say, no persona- lities. The MERLIN is dedicated to fair play, public utility, public liberty, and gentlemanly discussion." This, Mr. Editor, is quite right on your part; but just drop a little quiet whisper into the ears of the cons, and intimate to them that as pei socia- lities have commenced with them, that perhaps the prus. may take them up, and then all the fat's in the fire—we shall have no more fun this side the Eisteddfod. I tell you what, Mr. Editor, the Committee are all alive to this mighty war— they know right well that hundreds are anticipating a distinguish- ingly eloquent address about the extinction of the Humbug," by A Gentleman of the Principality." They watch with the utmost impatience the patience of this unknown single indivi- dual, and are full of hopes that the Gentleman will not show the white feather, when it becomes known who this unknown is. All these things considered, a considerable gathering of the most abandoned, corrupt, and profligate set of men- abettors of robbery, violence, and every other crim<?"—it is ex- I pected will grace the New Hall, especially as these bards are to be accompanied by Cattwg," in his poat-skin dress. Now, if these persona 'it ies be continued, the consequences will be as above stated; therefore, Mr. Editor, you will just drop the whisper. So the^Gentleman has come the dodge over us again. You see his aim his respect is so great for the respectable trades men of Abergavenny that hs would not say a word offensive to their feelings, no, not for his right arm"—yet he wants to lug them into this Cymriegyddion squabble but it seems they are too wide awake to have much to do with a man who wont give bis name although he is "A Gentleman of the Prinei. pality"—and because they asked for his card of name and ad- dress, he calls them an indignant Committee." Now, is not this too bad, Mr. Editor; but, never mind, you see he cannot bear the indignation of these honest men" half as patiently as the "single individual" bears the badgering of the Gentle- man and his man Friday, Cattwg." Yet, after all, the Gentleman is a trump, for, beaten on one tack, like an old soldier, he cries out nil desperanaum," and tries the dodge on another tack; and in writing at the Committee, through Mr. Henry Morgan, he comes the Sam Slick over him almost as well as if he had received lessons from the original Mr. Slick. As in his epistle of the 16th ult., the Gentleman's courtesy, for the moment, forsook him, so in his last, his good temper, for the moment, became ruffied,and he pettishly cries out" there is no Cymreigyddion Society, no Committee, no Secretary, no noth'ng; and yet on behalf of this mi neless nmentirj, tha Secretary has the assurance to ask me for my name and ad- dress"—the Committee had this assurance. I wonder do the schoolmasters call this logic; but then, he must be excused, for his temper was ruffled. It' the Gentleman be really ignorant of the when and the where the Committee was formed, I fear our county paper is not read as much as it should be by Gentlemen—I mean by such Gen- tlemen as we have in hand—for I have been informed that the MERLIN records most of the events of the society. Perhaps he w!l1 refer to your columns for the required information, as to the when and the where. The Gentleman wants t. know, who appointed the President of the society. No doubt he has a desire to obtain the honours of '• President of the Abergavenny Cymreigyddion Society." Is it true, perhaps not, for very often common report is a com- mon liar, and perhaps is in this instance, that he screwed his courage to the post, and went to Tredegar. saw the venerable I for Hail, and addressed him thus :—" Pray, Sir Charles, who gave you the appointment tn the President's chair of the Aber- gavenny Cymreigyddion Society." The good old man looked at him, with more of pity than anger in his countenance, and said to the servant, "John. shew the gentleman the door." "Never despair" is his motto still, and away he posted to the Hendre, gtts introduced to Mr Rolls. Come, says the little man, cut it short, for I am in haste. Pray Mr. Rolls, who gave you the appointment to the President's chair at the Aber- gavenny Cymreigyddion Society." The keen piercing eye of the squire rolled about, more with anger than pity, for his whip, but the questioner was gone. The gentleman is determined to put down the humbug, called the Abergavenny Cymreigyddion Society. No doubt his will is good, and he will do it—if. Poor Sidney Smith wrote a paper callsd Dame Partington and her Mop," and very likely the gentleman will find no more dimcultyin crushing the humbug, than Dame Partington had in mopping out the Atlantic FENNI.

DISTRESSING DOUBLE SUICIDE.—On Thursday morning last, the quiet village of Perry Bar was thrown into a state of ez- citement, by a report t..at (Mrs. Priestly, the wife of a brewer residing there, had been found suspended by a rope to the top of the bed. The plarm was given about seven o'clock, and on some of the neighbours proceeding to the house, they found the husband, Thomas Priestly, standing by the body of his wife, which lay on the floor of the bed-room. Notice was given to the coroner, and in the afternoon of the same day an inquest was about being held, when it became known that the husband had also terminated his existence by hanging himself. From the evidence of several witnesses, it appeared that Priestly had been very melancholy of late, his demeanour even to his friends being cold and repulsive. He complained of pal- pitation of the heart, and was under the medical care of a sur- geon in Birmingham. In the case of Mrs. Priestly, the J^ry returned a verdict that she was found dead, but how deatn Dad been produced there was no evidence to show. In the second instance the finding of the jury was that f' Deceased had de- stroyed himself while labouring uader temporary Insanity,'— Birmingham Journal,

GREAT EASTEUN AND WESTERN RAILWAY. WORCESTER, MONDAY EVENING.—An important meeting, in connexion v :th the above undertaking, has been held at the Guildhall, in this city, to-day, the chair being taken by Alderman G. Allies. It should be explained that when this line of railway was first projected it was intended, by taking Birmingham as the manufacturing capital, as well as the centre of England, to make a. direct communication between it and Swansea on the west, and Yarmouth on the east, thereby con- necting the Irish Sea and Bristol Channel, with the German Ocean, embr; cing a population of three millions. This gigan- tic project has now been considerably modified, and in place of proceeding northwards from Worcester, via Stourbridge and Birmingham, to Leicester and thence to Norwich and Great Yarmouth, the line is now proposed to diverge from Worcester, through the Droitwich salt works, by Redditch, Ilenley-on- Arden, Warwick, and Leamington, to Rugby, where it meets the Huntingdon line, and occupying a course parallel with that originally proposed, passes by Ely and Thetford to Norwich and Great Yarmouth. The line of new railway to be con- structed, therefore, stops at Rugby. From Worcester the line passes nrcu^h the important agricultural district of Worces- W»lp-epm> Hfrefordshire, to the immense ironworks of South deSr 'Rhv L^§nnC^0Wtn' Abergavenny, Nantyglo, Tre- de0ar, Khvmnej. Dowlais, Merthyr Tydvil, Cyfartha, Irwan Neatn, and Swansea, branch lines extending to Pontypool and Newport. His to be constructed upon thebroad«au°e-the gauge of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamptii'line of railway just commenced, and which it meets at Wo?cester At the meeting this afternoon the above notification was fully explained oy Atr. Ward, A,.P., the chairman of the Great Eastern and Western Company, who was accompanied by other members of the Provisional Committee, their engineer and other oficers. The hon. member observed that the great dif- ficulty which the company had had to fight against was the mountainous character of the country surrounding the most important portion of the proposed line, viz., the South Wales iron fields and upon this part of the subject the opinion of the chief engineer, Vir. Gravatt, was perfectly satisfactory. After stating that nothing but a too confident reliance in the mere judgment of the eye, unsupported by any actual admeasure- ment, and without any regard to the improved state of railway science, could have prevented this railway being brought forward long 3go, that gentleman goes on to state that even on this, tho most difficult part of the line, they had, at a fair cost, obta'ined incliuations and curves as much as fifty per cent. easier than thjse on some ether lines in the kingdom, now carrying on an immense traffic in both heavy goods and passengers, with great advantage to the public, and great profit to themselves. J. heeler Lea, Esq.. the chairman of the Commission for the improvement of the navigation of the Severn, also pointed out the advantages offered by this important line of railway, and especially the peculiar advantages to be derived to the trade and commerce ef the city of Worcester On the motion of Mr Bennct, seconded by j. M. Gutch, Esq., banner, iui unanimous vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Ward, and the geutlemen who accompanied him, for their attendance here to-Clay. and the satislactory explanation made to the meeting. Mr. Ward, having acknowledged the compliment in a few brief remarks, moved a vote of thanks to the chairman. Alderman Allies, in his reply to this vote, observed that he had entertained doubts about the feasibility of this project on account of the i engineering difficulties which it prefiented, but these were entirely removed. The meeting then broke up. j
