Waddington, Esq. Usk f HOME time has elapsed since this undertaking was first an- nounced to the public. The merits of the line were speedilv appreciated, and the requisite capital subscribed. The Directors have now the satisfaction to announce that the surveys of the line are completed, and that the gradients are of a truly excellent character. In the course of the survey the Directors have not failed to wait on the important landowners of the district, in order to consult their wishes, and to obtain their approval of the line. The support which the scheme has obtained in those quarters has been most unequivocal. To facilitate the formation of the portion of the line from Abergavenny to Hereford, and with the desire at the same time of paying due regard to existing interests, a conditional pur- chase has been made of the three tramroads now in operation between those places. The Legislature having, since the first establishment of this company, authorised the making of a line of Railway from Newport to Pontypool, that portion of the original scheme has of course been necessarily abandoned. The Monmouthshire Canal interests having now passed, by purchase, to the Monmouthshire Railway company, the line fiom Newport to Pontypool will be forthwith made by the latter company, between whom and the Newpnrt, Abergavenny, and Hereford company, an understanding of the most friendly nature exists. The two lines will be united at Pontypool, and thus will be formed, according to the original proposition of this company, one continnous line from Newport to Hereford. The Directors have recently consented, in compliance with an unanimous resolution of a public meeting of the inhabitants of Usk, to extend from their main line a short branch between that town and Pontypool, of about three miles and a half in length; and it is also their intention to make another short branch from their main line to Ragland. These two will perfect a continuous line of Railway connexion between Pontypool and Usk, on the one hand, and between Abergavenny and Ragland on the other. The branch of the South Wales from Newport to Monmouth touches both Usk and Ragland, and the a'nvp two short extensions of this company '0, lh complete the direct Railway route from Abergavenny to Monmuuin. whust tney will also immediately connect the town of Usk with Pontypool and Abergavenny. I To the agricultural districts of Monmouthshire, Breconshire, and Herefordsire, the importance of the main line and branches of this company cannot be over-estimated, affording as they will do, at once an expeditious and direct communication with the manufactories and collieries of Monmouthshire and of South Wales, and a ready outlet for the various piaductions of those districts. As an example, it may be stated that the pre- sent price of cider in Herefordshire is not more than from 3d. to 4d. per gallon whilst the agricultural produce of every kind is proportionately low. For these a constant demand exists in the mineral districts, as well as for pit-wood and charcoal, which articles the county of Hereford could supply to any extent. The counties of Hereford, Radnor, and Worcester will be greatly benefitted in the article of coal, for which enormous prices are now paid. The present price on the northern con- tines of Herefordshire is 30s. per ton, and, in the adjoining county of Radnor, v. hich derives its supply entirely from Monmouthshire, it is frequently as high as 50s. per ton. Even in the city of Hereford the price is now 17s. per ton, and during the last winter, it rose to 25s. Now it can be satisfactorily shown, that coal of the best quality may, by means of this Railway, be delivered at Hereford, allowing a fair remunerative profit to the seller, at about lis. per ton. Another important item of traffic will unquestionably be lime, of which there are extensive deposits in the vicinity of Aber- gavenny, and at many other points on the line. The character of the soil in Herefordshire renders a large quantity of lime necessary in agricultural operations, but the heavy expense of conveyance has hitherto prevented its being employed to any thing approaching the required extent. Prospectuses and full explanations in regard to the line and extensions may be obtained on application at the Offices, 65, Moorgate-street, London, or to any of the Solicitors of the Company.

Knight, Axminster Mr. W. Bridge, Dorchester I The object of this Company is to establish a direct Line of Railway lor Passengers, Goods, and Commercial, Mining, and Agricultural produce,{between the Haibour of Watchet, on the Bristol Channel, and the Harbour of Bridport, on the English Channel, and provide means of inland tiansit for a large pro- portion of the produce at present necessarily sent by the dan- gerous and uncertain passage round the Lands' End, and at the same time afford to the intermediate rich and populous disiricts, ready and convenient Railway conimunicaiion. The direct line will be 48 miles in length, and will proceed from Watchet to Taunton, and thence by Hatch Beauchamp. and by llminster to Chard, and by Crewkerne and Beaminster to Bridport harbour. A Branch will proceed out of the line, about midway between Watchet and Taunton, directly to W iveliscombe. All these towns and their neighbourhoods are I populous and opulent, and many of llietn very much so, and the localities are remarkable for their richness, fertility, beauty, and numerous resident Gentry. At Wiveliscombe this line will avail itself of the Noith Devon Railway, to Taunton, and also Westward at Taunton it will enter the station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence proceed to Mangerton. four miles short of Bridport.where it will unite with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, one of the Great Western Lines of Railway, and thence proceed on that Line to Bridport harbour. it will also cross the proposed line from Yeovil to Exeter, about two miles west of Crewkerne. The Junction of the two Channels was long since deemed an important object. To effect it. Surveys were successively made for a Ship Canal, by the late Mr. Rennie. Mr. Telford, and other scientific men, who concurred in the importance of such a work, in a national point of view the design was matured, and in 1824 an Act of Parliament passed and it stands recorded as the opinions of Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols, that the Canal would afford a remuneration to the subscribers, of 16,1 per cent. on a capital of £ 1,712,844. The sum required for this work, being so much less than that for the Ship Canal; the increased demand of a greatly increased population; and the present vast commercial energies of the country, make it manifest that goods may be conveyed by this Railway at far less than halt the charge upon which Mr. Teltord and Caplain Nichols formed their opinion. The intended Line from Minehead to Bridgwater, will meet and cross this Line near Watchet. No Railway. either made, or being made, or projected, will serve the purposes which this important and favoured line will serve The country it will pass through possesses a population ex- ceeding 150,0u0. It leads to marine watering places, of much resort, Weymouth Lyme, and Seaton, ou the English Channel shore, and Linton M inehead a ntl Blue Anchor on the shore of the Bristol Channel. Taunton, which may now be considered the county town of Somersetshire, has always been the market and trading town of the country north-west of it, including Watchet and its surrounding district; the usual route to which, from London, and the North, is through Taunton. A well remunerating passenger traffic may hence be expected. The country also contains between SO and 100 Milh and Fac- tories, many of which are worked by steam in aid of water- power, and many more of the proprietors will avail themselves of steam-power when coals shall be procurable at a reduced rate by this Railway. The Millers are most desirous of having tht- Markets of South Wales opened to them. Several influential coal proprietors of South Wales arc members of the Provisional Committee. The country also possesses several extensive Lime Quarries. 11 lps. for manure the Lime is burnt with Culm brought from Wales the conveyance both of the Culm and Lime is at present attended with much expense to the Agriculturist. The Line will also be of high importance to this Agricultural District by opening to it the Markets of Taunton, Tiverton, Bampton, South Molton, Barnstaple in the north of Devon, Exeter, and London. The towns of Taunton, llminster, Chard, Crewkerne, Beamin- ster, Broadwindsor, Bridport, Axminster. Charmouth, and Lyme Regis, will he connected by the line, and deiive from it supplies of Coals, Culm, Timber, Dry Goods, and other articles of import. The line will afford to those towns and their populous neigh- bourhoods, increased facilities of communication with other lines of Railroad. The usual prevalence of westerly winds during the winter months, is so great, as to render the passage round the Lands'- end verv uncertain. The facilities offered by the proposed Rail. way will obviate such uncertainty, save many hundred miles of dangerous sea passage, and more than compensate for the charges attending re-shipment at Bridport, fiom Watchet; particularly in the article of Welsh coals, now in great demand in and about London, for Steam Engines, Steam Boats, and other purposes. The Harbour of Bridport admits vessels, at spring-tides, of 350 tons burthen receives large supplies of Coals, Culm, Flax, Hemp, Baltic, and American limber. Iron, Slate, Tallow, Staves, and numerous other articles; which, in the aggregate, last year. amounted to nearly 40,000 tons, a large portion of which consisted of Flax and Hemp, for the numerous manufactories of yarns, sailcloth, sacks, nets, lines, twines, and linen goods, which, when wrought, would pass along the line to the two ports, for shipment, or to other Railways. The Harbour of Watchet, at spring-:ides, admits vessels of 200 tons buithen, and carries on an extensive and important daily trade with the ports of Tenby, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, Newport, and Merthyr Tydvil, in Coals, Culm, Corn, Flour, and other Provisions, Cattle, Sheep, Sftlt. Timber, Slates, Iron, and other articles of merchandise; employing twelve vessels belonging to the harbour regularly, and exclusively one trading with Liverpool. It has also a considerable Corn, Malt, Flour, and Goods' Tiade with Bristol, and employs therein, several vessels, regularly. Both the Harbours are capable of being much improved, and belong to proprietors able and willing to improve them to meet the increased wants of the community. The Port of Watchet, as it is, has the largest and most impor- tant trade on the English side of the Bristol Channel. Tt, is Railway will increase that trade four fold, and therewith its own prosperity. Theshore contiguoustoWatchet. exclusively abounds with Lime of the most celebrated description, both for water- works and exterior building, being the same as the universally known and celebiated Abeithaw Lime, which also is on the di- rectly opposite Coast and at and around Watchet are extensive Corn and Flour Mills, Paper Mills, and Clothing Mills. The foregoing facts shew that the Line must have a very exten- sive Goods I ramc. It is not intended to put forward Watchet as a Packet Station, either for Ireland or South Wales; nor does this measure lequire such aid. No portion of the coast of the Bristol Channel, east of Ilfracombe, can have the slightest pretension to be, or be made, a Packet station. In the first place, it is obvious that the Railway in actual progress from the Government Dock Yard at Pembroke (or Hobbe's Point, 100 miles further down the Bristol Channel) will take all the Packet Trade from the South of lie- land Liverpool takes Dublin whilst llfracoin) e (50 miles West of Watchet,) and Swansea (directly opposite to Ilfracombe,) maintain a regular Steam Packet Passenger and Goods' traffic and in the second place, all the Harbours on the English side East of Ilfracombe, are dry, and for a great length, at low water, the shores betng very flat and to construct a Harbour on them, to admit large class steamers, and to land passengers at all times of the tide, would, if not impracticable, cost an enormous sum. To hold out expectations that either of them might be such Packet Station, would, for the above reasons, be delusive. The extended North Devon Line of Railways will serve the Port of Ilfracombe and its packets. A Survey has been made by the Engineers, who have reported that the Line is easy of construction, and will not interfere with any park. It affords great satisfaction to the promoters to be enabled to announce that the Direetois of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company have promised to give this measure their favourable consideration, and the promoters entertain a sanguine expecta- tion that it will receive their support. The neighbouring Land owners and Gentry are favourable t the meisure, and all the Merchants and Traders, both at Watchet and Bridport, as well as the principal Coal Proprietors in South Wales, and all persons throughout the Line, entertain a high opinion of its merits,and earnestly desire it. Many extensive Land-owners on the Line. whose names do not appear on the Provisional Committee, have yet expressed themselves friends to this measure. The Act will be applied lor, next Session, and the liabilities will be limited to the amount of the Subscriptions, and interest at 4 per cent. will be paid on all Calls from the time of payment until the open ing of the Line. An early allotment of the Shares will be made. and the tsun) Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed by the Shareholders when called upon.

The want of a cheap and plentiful supply of pure water has long been felt by all classes at Newport, and a feeling has very generally manfested itself among the inhabitants, that efficient means ought to be taken to secure an. adequate supply of this great essential to health and comfort, and to obtain thereby some protection against the ravages of fire. It is believed that there are few towns in the kingdom which have risen more rapidly into importance, as commercial ports, than Newport, or which possess, in a greater degree, the ele- ments of future advancement and prosperity. Situate at the foot of a Lnge of hills, abundantly rich in the choicest iron ore and coals—possessing a splendid tidal river, with convenient and capadous docks, capable of receiving vessels of the largest tonnage—closely connected too,'as it will shortly be, by rail- roads with the metropolis, and with the midland and northern counties of England, Newport seems formed to be the great mart of a large mining and manufacturing district. As a pnof of its rapid increase, it may be mentioned that the populatior. which, by the census of 1831 was only 7,062, had in- creased iri the year 1841 to 13,766 and that (as appears by the Custom House returns,) the number of ves- sels enterng the port, which, in the year 1831, was 8,165, with the tonmge of 498.965 tons, amounted, in the year 1844 (after a progressive increase), to 9,783 vessels, with a tonnage of 669,128 -ons. During the last few years many public buildings have been erected, tiid many new and extensive works constructed, tend- ing greatly to the permanent advantage and convenience of the inhabitants, but that great desideratum, an abundant and never failing sipply of wholesome pure spring water is still wanting. At present there are only five public pumps for the supply of the large proportion of houses which have no private wells, and the txpense of haulage is so great, as completely to pre- clude tie poorer classes, in the upper portion of the tovn, from providing themselves with pure water to anything like a wholesome or adequate extent; while at Pillgwenlly, which lies on a level with the sea, on a sandy foundation, the wells are proportionably fewer, and the water from them is brackish, and unfit for use. Several even of the public wells, (not t$„Kiention the private ones), in seasons of drought, are liable to become almost dry. A great expense is also daily incurred in procuring a supply of water for the ship- ping, which is at present obtained, chiefly from the canal, below the town, where the water is necessarily impure. The circum- stance, alone, of the frequent transit of barges keeping the bot- tom disturbed, must render such water unfit for the ordinary purposes of life. It cannot fail, too, to be a matter of grave and serious reflec- tion, that at present no means whatever are provided for the extinction of fire. It is with a view to remedy the evils, only hinted at above, that the gentlemen, whose names are attached to this prospec tus have formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of establishing Water Works, on a scale amplj sufficient to meet the.present, and increasing exigencies, of the place, and they confidently expect the cordial co-operation of their fellow- townsmen, in carrying out an object so beneficial and im- portant. Careful surveys have been made of the neighbouring springs and streams and it has been ascertained that an adequate quantity of good water can be obtained within three miles of Newport, at a sufficient elevation to supply all except a small portion of the highest part of the town, without the use of forcing power. And it is intended, with a view of extending the advantages of this undertaking to the whole town, to provide a small engine, for the supply of those houses on Stow Hill, which the water would not reach in its natural flow. It is also pro- posed to form one or more reservoirs of several acres in extent, to provide for seasons of unusual drought. An estimate of the probable expense has been made, uaier competent and skilful advice, and it is considered that the whole works may be completed at a cost of less than £ 10,000., at which sum the capital has been fixed, with a power of ultimate extension to £ 15,000., if required. In establishing these waterworks, the principal objects which the committee have III View are to procure an abundant and never failing supply of pure water, at so cheap a rate as shall enable the poor as well as the wealthy inhabitants to avail themselves of this great necessary to health and comfort, to accommodate the shipping, and to afford protection against fire. But they also confidently anticipate that, consistently with these objects, the rental derivable from the town and port will afford a fair and adequate return upon the capital invested and they are fully borne out in this expectation by the result of calculations which have been carefully made from well-considered data, of the various 6ourcesof income which may be relied on. At the same time all who are possessed of houses and warehouses in the borough cannot fail to derive great advantage from the improved value of their property, which must obviously result from this undertaking.

WANTED, Subscribers for the Remaining Shares in the Newport Building and Investment Society. It is expedient to afford encouragement and protection to such societies."—Preamble to the Act G and 7 Win. 4th, c. 32. THE advantages to be derived from this society are to afford the labouring classes an opportunity of obtaining a free- hold or leasehold dwelling-house or cottage, and thereby relieve themselves from the payment of a large portion of the enormous sums they are mulcted in the shape of rent, and to carry out the principles thereof, every subscriber must pay the Bum of 10s. per month for a period of 13 years, and it will realize to them individually, within that period, a sum, averag- ing from JE60. to £1'20. to effect a purchase,or as the return for their investment. To facilitate and secure the purposes and interests of the society, it purposes to advance money from its fund to the sub- scribers to buy a property, and takes the property so bought as security for the money advanced to buy it, and receives pay- ment at such an easy rate, (viz., the subscription of ten shil- lings monthly,) that the rent of the property purchased will generally suffice to cover the same. The popularity and influence of such societies is manifested as appears by an extract from the Times of the .5th October, 1843, that There are 440 societies of this description now in oDeration, and in which, it is said, £ 7,000,000. of money are invested.' And, since that period, they have been rapidly ex- tending, which has induced Mr. J. R. Macarthur to suggest great improvements in the system, and they are such that can- not fail to lead to the most important and beneficial results in the operation of these societies. The establishment of benefit building societies marks a new epoch in the history of the working classes—is indicative of the developement ot another and nobler feature of their social progress;—they combine—they economise to secure indepen- dence. To the philanthropist and the patriot, here is an element of hope; to the working classes themselves, an element of future power."—Extract of an address, by John Jenkins, M.A. To the industrious classes a question is submitted—will they or will they not unite, and strive, and save, and toil, to redeem their dwellings—the homes which ought to be theirs, and for which they and their forefathers have often paid the value but never acquired the purchase ? They are, therefore, solicited to unite in this good and useful society, and forthwith enrol their names as members thereof, which, by perseverance and prudence, will give them hereafter a moderate independence.

LANSDOWN TOWER, with its chaste ornamental Gardens and Grounds, consisting of between Six and Seven Acres of LAND, is situated about two miles from Bath, upon the summit.of Lansdown, its base being 800 feet above the Avon. The structuie itself rises 130 leet higher, crowned with an elegant cupola & lantern of cast iron, in strict Grecian character, commanding a prospect the very per- fection of picturesque landscape, the view, bounded in one di- rection by the Mountains of Wales, commands the counties ot Somerset, Wilts, Gloucester, and Worcester, and across the Severn, Glamorgan, and Monmouth smiling vales and e.nerald- coloured hills aie spread beneath like a carpet of unparalleled richness. The Tower, with its symmetrical apartments, refreshed and newly furnished but just before the Owner's decease, would form AN ADMIRABLK BASIS OR WING FOR A PRIVATE RESIDENCE. being singulaily well-adapted for the retirement of a man of fortune and pure taste, who would not desire to be too far away from the occasional attractions of a splendid city. Then the surrounding Garden that may be said -L TO MAKE PERFECTION PERFECT. is planted with the choicest trees, capable of being acclimated to such a spot.; collected from all parts of the world, without anv regaid to cost, and remarkably rich in the THIBS CONLF_ER.E, to which (besides the British Isles) Mexico, the Brazils and even the Himalaya have been made tributary. It may be pro- nounce! justly that in all England nothing of the same compass OUTVIES THIS MATCHLESS SPOT The Tower, Garden, and Grounds extend by a terrace walk to what is called the Tunnel, at which the Dike Gaiden commences, and which Messrs. ENGLISH will have the honour to offer to the Public separately. ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST COSTLY COLLECTIONS OF VERTU, forming the contents of the Tower, will follow next in the order of sale consisting of Furni ure, adapted with great care to the character of the building, Paintings by Ancient and Modern Masters, quantities of matchless China, rich Japan, Etiuscao Vases, rare Marbles, specimens of sculpture, Agate Cups, Gold Coins, Gems, rich Tables, Ivory Carvings, valuable Crystals, and expensive Rarities, adorning this most beautiful of all the siudios of m dilative genius, and every way WORTHY OF THr. AUTHOR OF VATHEK. To expatiate npon the value or interest attached to these objects of Vertu, accumulated by Mr. Beck ford, by a diffuse expendi- ture of. wealth, with the advantage of an unusually long term of existence and discriminating talent, would be useless. Suthce it to say, that here, to the individual of rasie NOTHING IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED. The next parcel of Freehold runs parallel with the Turnpike- road, and extends nearly as far down the hill as the Haie and Hounds inn. It is entered at present by the tuund hom the Tower ground and is known by the name of THE DIKE GARDEN. Leaving the terrace walk and passing through the funnel, the scene changes from open to circumscribed land, forming a per- fect enclosure, in which there stands a Cottage, Italianised. There is also a Pond of Water, with Fruit Trees, Shrubs, and 1 towers in profusion, the whole in the most complete piivacy. I his Garden is exceedingly well adapted under its existing pur- pose for the SITE OF A RETIRED VILLA. This will be disposed of separately, and is weli worthy of atten- tion from tbe extreme healthiness of tbe situation aud the noble views in its vicinity. The next object for public competition is a piece of land on the brow of the hill, descending from ihe Down towards Bath, in quantity about six acres and a half, adjoining the turnpike-road, having an ample supply of Water. ADMIRABLY ADAPTED FOR BUILDING, and commanding views of uncommon beauty and extent, facing the genial South, surrounded with the most exhilirating objecis, and admitting the display of Ihe liveliest fancy in ihe decoration of its elevated slopes and salubrious undulations, and which will be sold either entire or in lots. After this Messrs. English will offer the Public A RUSTIC COTTAGE, near the Hare and Hounds, with a Paddock on the other side of the road, having a frontage of about 740 leel, parallel with the road: an object exceedingly desirabi as a site for the erection of Villas, to which it was formerly appropriated, till Mr. Beck- ford removed the buildings; It possesses the advantage of great plenty of tine stone for building, that may be raised on the spot; and a never failing supply of the purest water. It alse cotnrivands an extensive prospect of the delightful scenery in the neighbour- hood of one of the most picturesque as well as the most beauti- ful of English cities Alter this THE NOBLE GARDEN AT LANSDOWN CRESCENT will be presented, consisting of about four acres, either together or in lots as shall be subsequently announced. It is surrounded with high stone walls, very picturesque in appearance, rs stocked with a profusion of the choicest r'nntTree&.and includes Green house, Grolpehousc, Forcing Pits, a Terrace planted with the finest Wall Fruit in capital beat ing, conducting to a massy Arched Gateway, in the Gothic taste, battlemented and machi colated. The iicli Garden is parallel with the rear ot Lmsdown Crescent, and would be an invaluable property for a lesident in that range of spacious and handsome private mansions, or 101 the several Villas in its immediate vicinity.
