Usk SOME time has elapsed since this undertaking was first, an- nounced to the public. The merits of the line were speedily 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 Newport, 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 continuous 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 extensions 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 company from Newport to Monmouth touches both Usk and Ragland, and the above two short extensions of this company will complete the direct Railway route from Abergavenny to Monmouth, whilst they will also immediately connect the town of Usk with Pontypool and Abergavenny. To the agricultural districts of Monmouthshire, Breconshire, and Herefordsire, the importance ot 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 productions 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. 1 he present price on the northern con- fines ot Herefordshire is 30s. per ton, and, in the adjoining county of Radnor, which 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 1 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, 66, Moorgate-street, London, or to any of the Solicitors of the Company.

A SINGLE lire of railway for the conveyance of minerals worked by horse-power" has been for many years in use from the top of the Duffryn Llynvi Valley to the port and from the top of the Duffryn Llynvi Valley to the port and harbour of Porth Cawl, in the county of Glamorgan, a distance of about eighteen miles. This railway is the property of The Duffryn Lynvi and Porth Cawl-Railway Company," a company incorporated bv an Act of Parliament passed in the year 1826, entitled An Act for making and maintaining a Railway or Tram-road, from or from near to a certain place called Duffryn Llynvi, in the parish.of Llangonoyd, in the county of Glamor- gan, to or near to a certain bay called Pwll Cawl, otherwise Porth Cawl, in the parish of Newton Nottage, in the same county, and for extending and improving the same bay by the erection of a pier and other suitable works for that purpose." The Duffryn LJynvi Valley is only one of several adjacent mineral valleys abounding with coal and iron ore (both argil- laceous and carboniferous, or blackband) that remain unworked for want, ouly pf a cheap communication with the sea. Porth Ca.wi is the natural outlet for the whole of these valleys. It will aliord some idea of the riches of this district, when it is known that the coal alone which it contains is estimated to exceed ONE THOUSAND MILLION TONS, which would not be exhausted in. leas tlmrr^Utf:- hundred ye&rs if three thousand tons per day were shipped, sqsd.a like qua.]?j' consumed in the manufacture$ £ iron. V Theltumerofis seams of coal differ in quality, and are well adaptetMfcjbr domestic use, Steam power, smelting of iron ore; and gas-light and manufacturing purposes* The distance of the coal field from the shipping place is not more than two- thirds of the distance of Newport and CardftF from the coal fields which supply those ports it is, therefore, obvious that nothing is wanted but a commodious harbour in order to se- cure a large portion of the coal trade of the Bristol Channel. The recent discovery of the Blackband Iron Ore in this dis- trict has added greatly to its importance. The facility with which that ore, as well as the coal, is obtained, enables the manufacturer to produce iron at a mtsch lower cost than in any other known locality. The iron made with this ore combines the fluidity of the Scotch iron, with the strength of the Shrop- shire. These peculiar advantages, when more fully developed, will naturally attract attention to this district, until it becomes one of the principal seats, if not the chief seat of the iron trade. The discovery of the blackband iron ore, as well as the in- creasing demand for sea-borne coal, have already so greatly added to the traffic on the Duffryn Llynvl Railway, as to render it quite inadequate io the_present requirements of the trade. Impressed witli these circumstances, the Duffryn Llynvi and Porth Cawl Railway Company have determinecl to make their own railway the basis of a much more extended scheme, inclu- ding the whole of the important district above alluded to, and under the more comprehensive name of the "Glamorgan Central Mineral Railway." ° This extended line of railway will embrace the richest mineral field in the Principality, lying chiefly in the hundreds of New- castle and Og-more, comprising a district of nearly one hundred square miles, abounding with coal and iron ore It is intended to raise an adequate capital for constructing in the most efficient manner, to be worked by steam rower a branch line of railway up each of the mineral'valleys into which the district is divided to connect them with the original trunk hue into one general line ot double railway, near Bridgend and to enlarge the harbour at Porth Cawl according to the plans of Mr. Scott Russell, who has lately surveyed" it and Channel caI>ablllty tu be il'^or to none in the Bristol Jt is also intended, for the convenience of passengers to con- nect the mainline with the South Wales Railway at two dif- ferent points, which will also afford facilities of shipment at Port Talbot, Briton Ferry, Neath, and other ports accessible by the South Wales line. There are fourteen blast furnaces at work and in the course of erection now in the Duffryn Llynvi Valley alone, and it may be reasonably expected that this number will be at least dou- bled by the time the whole of the contemplated lines are com- pleted* The traffic of the Glamorgan Central Mineral Railway has been carefully estimated on the basis of the traffic now existing on the Duffryn Lynvi Railway, and making a fair allowance for the certain increase of that traffic, and the probable addi- tions from tin: proposed branches, it is found that the clear profit from minerals and heavy goods alone will, at a very mo- derate charge for conveyance, afford a clear dividend of 8 per c"nt. on the whole capital of the undertaking. This is exclu- sive of passenger traffic, which may be expected to yield a con- siderable and progressively increasing revenue. By far the greater number of vessels frequenting the ports of Cardiff and Newport pass the harbour of Porth Cewl, which is situated about midway between Cardiff and Swansea. The capabilities of Porth Cawl for the accommodation of shipping of the largest class, may be gathered from the follow- ing extracts from the report of Mr. Scott Russell, the engineer lately appointed to examine it:— The accessible situation and absence of all danger from the entrance of the harbour of Porth Cawl, are such, that when rile breakwater, the harbour, and the docks are completed, it cannot fail to be one of the most complete and valuable ports on that coast, and will prove a great benefit to the surrouudiug district of country, and to the merchant shipping generally, frequenting the Bristol channel. The breakwater will extend into twenty-live feet water even at low water of spring tides, being sufficient to admit merchant ships ot the largest class being safely tnoorsd inside the breakwater at alltlllies of the tide, and in all weathers I conceive that the extension of this breakwater will aAbtd so great accommodation to the merchant shipping of the Bristol Channel, that its extension and completion will be matter of national importance, and de- serving the attention and encouragement of the government." It is intended to continue the very moderate harbour-dues, which are levied under the existidg Company's Act of Parlia- ment and which, it is estimated, will be sufficient to keep the enlarged harbour in repair. The capital of the Porth Cawl and Duffryn Llynvi Railway Company is £ 90,000., consisting of £ 50,000. in shares, and f40 000. in loans at interest, raised under the powers of their Act. It is proposed that the original shareholders shall re- ceive in lieu of tlieir shares, as much stock in the new Com- nauy'as will, at the rate of £ 4. percent, per annum, yield a dividend equal to the revenue of the Duffryn Llynvi Railway Company in their half year ending the 30th of April next; but if such net revenue shall then exceed fl2. per cent, per annum, no additional value shall be given in respect of such excess or the original shareholders may, if they prefer it, receive the value of their shares, according to the same estimate, by instal- ments payable as the calls on the new capital are made, and hearinff interest in the mean time, at the rate of E4 per cent.

This pio- perty is well-known, as being in one of the most beautiful situ- ations in South Wales. 2nd. rhe TREDEGAR ARMS HOTEL, with five other houses adjoining the latter property, the best in the town, has been substantially built within the last eight years, and is well known to the commeicial world Irom the extensive business carried on therein. As a proof ot the value of this property, .EHbO. was given, about nine years since (in consequence of no beer-houses bting allowed in this town) for the site, and a small dilapidated inn, which was obliged.to be taken down. Tredegar, and its environs, contain a population of upwards of 25.000inhabttauts.Ttte tenure of the whole property is leasehold and that firstly described is held for a term, of which 42 years are unexpired and that secondly described, for a term of which 37 yeas are unexpued. PLAN OF THE TONTINE. Capital, £ 9,0000.; in 3b0 Shares, of £ 25. each. Each share- holdei- shall have the option of naming either himself, or any other person, whose age, next birthday, shall not be less than 74 years, but shall not be at libeitv to appoint any nominee who has been previously named. The rents to be divided annually, on the 30th of October. among those shareholders whose nominees were living on the 29th day of September precediug. Each party on taking his or her shares, is to pay a deposit of £ 5. to either of the Bankers above named, to the credit of the Monmouthshire Tcntuae and shall, before the expiration of thirty days after such payment, deliver to the Solicttor a written nomination of a life, or his or her nominee in respect of such shnre or shares, whose age on the next birthday will be, at least, 74, and shall afterwards pay the residue of his or her subsciip- tion, by such calls as the Trustees may make. That if either of the said nominees shall die before the whole of the shares are taken, the party nominating such life may sub- stitute another life, whose age on the next buthday shall not be less than 74 years, as aforesaid. Upon the death of all the nominees, save one, the Tontine shall be determined, and the whole of the premises shall become the absolute property of the shareholder owning a share or shares (as the c..se may be) upon the life of the last surviving nominee, unless it shall happen that one persoa shall at any time be en- titled to the whole of the shares, in which case the trustees shall convey the property absolutely to such person. The formation of the Tontine is intended to be completed by live 21st December, 1845, or sooner. <f filled up, when the pro- perty shaft 1MS rested in the names of door trustees; and in case any shareholder shall either negteelf tp appoint a'poounee, or fail to pay the remainder of his or her subscriptiori frwrnfey, then his or her-share or shares, with the deposit paid thereon, shall beforfeitedt The trustees shall always be four in number and in case of a T majority of the shareholder* shall havethe power of -ru8 *"acl! shareholder to have one vote only. The I'ontine to be managed by a coJR&itwe «f»ix proprietors, tT aPPoin!e<1 at a general meet in*. he 1 ontine promises great advantages, and present*.more in- ducement for investment than anv speculation of the kind which has yet been submitted to the public, for the following reasons, The property has cost considerably over the sum of £ 9000, and is in excellent repair. I he trustees have received an offer of X440 a year for the whole Property, lor seven years, on a repaiiing lease, which a ter deducting ground rents and insurance, would give an im- mediate dividend over four per cent., the lessee binding himself to do all repairs. Fioin the very advanced nges of the lives. it may reasonably be expected that in a very few years the surviving life will be. come sole possessor of the property and this not only offers an immense gain to the Shareholders whose nominee shall be such last survivor, but also very great advantages at each annual division of the rents, to those whose nominees may survive the average of the lives named. » ■> be annual dividend to such of the shareholders nominees as TV surv.'ve>.w'" increase in the same ratio as the lives decrease. 1 he following may he enumerated as amongst a few of the advantages to be derived from the scheme:- An immediate leturn of a lasge rate of interest for a small investment. An annual increasing income. Ine great probability that the shareholder will, in the course ot a very short period, become the owner of the property. I o aged persons inserting their own lives, it offers a centinu- allv increasing and certain annuity. To parties expecting property on the decease of aged lives, this investment offers, for a small sum, a certain return, till the dropping of the life or lives renders the income no longer an object to persons so situated for instance, a party expecting church preferment on the death of an incumbent aged 74 or upwards, may, by this scheme, insure an increasing income, until the deaih of the incumbent puts him in possession of the living.

In order that the Tontine may terminate at an early period, no Life is to be nominated who is under 05 years of age.

The amount of the Rent, the responsibility of the Lessees, and the increasing value of Property in the neighbourhood, render tLe Investment safe and eligible for parties whose object' is to receive an increased per centage; and the contingency of ultimately obtaining £ 65,000. for so small a sum as £10., pre- sents an unusual inducement to the speculator.

These Estates have long become a prominent feature in this vicinity. They are situate in the most beautiful county in England, and at the same time, the most independent one. as it possesses within itself the necessary supplies for all human enjoyment. The rivers abound in salmon, trout, and other de- licious fish the woods and hills with every variety cf game, not forgetting woodcocks (now just coming in) and grouse and the verdant pastures feed the finest breed of cattle and sheep thus yielding, with the produce of the fertile tillage land, and the luxuriant orchards and gardens seen in every direction in this highly-favoured county, a plentiful supply i'or the gas tronomic wants of the most fastidious gourmand. Then we have every variety of forest-trees—oak, elm, ash, &c., in pro- fusion; and an equal variety of native minerals in the'* ,oom of the earth, not forgetting those most useful ones of iron, tin, coal, and limestone, and a little mine of gold for the fortunate purchasers of these desirable estates. Again, in no county in England can the native scenery be surpassed in variety and loveliness—hill and dale, wood and water, all together form in every point of view, an ensemble, in the happy arrangement of which Dame Nature may be truly said to have exhausted her most consummate skill,and if possible, almost to have surpassed herself. Indeed, the timid hand that directs this unpretending c and imperfect panegyric, feels at a loss how to describe, in suffi- ciently glowing colours, this charming locality; and to those who desire duly to appreciate it, a personal inspection-becomes imperative, and can alone suffice. To this end it may be added that railwav communication will very shortly bring this county within five "hours' ride of London; thus enabling the opulent, but care-worn citizen, to resuscitate his constitution, and breathe a little fresh air, in the luxuriant valleys and healthy uplands of Monmouthshire. THE LANGEVIEVV FARM, OF 202 ACRES, is of excellent arable, meadow, and pasture land, within a mile of the town of Usk, with a farm-house, and all necessary build ings, in the occupation of Mrs. Jane Blower, at a clear yearly rent of £ 244.

LOSS OF TEETH.-—Mr. CLARKE still continues to supply the loss of teeth, from one to a complete set, upon his beautiful system of Self-Adhesion; which has procured him universal ap- probation in some thousands of cases, and recommended by Sir James Clarke, Bart.,M.D.; Sir M. Tierney, Bart., M.D.; Dr. Chambers, Or. Pans, Dr. James Johnson, Dr., Conquest, and numerous other Members of the Medical Profession, as being the most ingenious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented. They are so contrived as to adapt themselves ovei the most tender gums, or remaining stumps, without causing the least pain, rendering the operation of extraction quite unneces- ssi y and in older that his system may be within the reach of the most economical, he will continue the same moderate charges.

Prothero, Towgood, and Fox, Newport. 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 range of hills, abundantly rich in the choicest iron ore and coals—possessing a splendid tidal river, with convenient and capacious 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 proof of its rapid increase, it may be mentioned that the population which, by the census of 1831 was only 7,062, had in- creased in the year 1841 to 13,766 and that (as appears by the Custom House returns,) the number of ves- sets entering the port, which, in the year 1831, was 8,165, with the tonnage of 498,965 tons, amounted, in the year 1844 (after ^Tlli^tons6 'ncrease)> t0 9,783 vessels, with a tonnage of 'ast many public buildings have been ine ereatlv new extensive works constructed, tend- inhabitant* hi.» f1P*rm*ne»Jt advantage and convenience of the failing supply of deratum> an abundant apd never tr*water»stm wandn«- the large proportion of houSs whSh rmp" fer the 8uPP17.,of and the.expense of haulage U To *° If1V*te^*ll»' elude the poorer classes £ M completely fc pre-, the town, from providing tw1PP€T °f water to anything like awhHmi. •^■weives with para at Pillgwejilly, which lies on a level wlth^h*1^6*^1' Whi,le foundation, the weds are proportionablv y fiom thenars brackish, and unfit for use c a, tte public wells, (not *o mention the private onel^n"611 !• drought, are liable to become almost dry A 8easonf; ?- also daily incurred in procuring a sunnlv ping, which is at present obtained, chfeflv from thl e sl}'P" thetown, where the water is necessanVim^e stance, alone, of the frequent transit of larges keeni^ff the°h^ p £ SUon«fma" rendersud' A forP«K,toS £ of life. It cannot fail, too, to be a matter of grave and serious refiec- t«m, that at present no means whatever are provided for extinction of fire. r wl" It is with a view to remedy the evils, only hinted at above that the gentlemen, whose names are attached to this nrosn.^ tus have formed themselves into a committee for the mfrn<J7nr establishing Water Works, on a scale amply sufficient to mee! the present, and increasing exigencies, of the place and thev confidently expect the cordial co-operation of all who are in- terested in the prosperity of Newport, in carrying out an object so beneficial and important. J 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, under competent and skilful advice, and it is considered that the whole competent and skilful advice, and it is considered that the whole works may be completed at a cost of less than JE 10,000 at which sum the capital has been fixed, with a power of ultimate extension to £ 15,000., if required. In establishing these water works, the principal objects which the committee have in 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 sources of income which may be relied on.
