I 4 ATE FIRE in LITTLE QUEEN-STREET,
HOLBORN.
Ale's». BENTLEY and NrOOD beg to return their grateful
'Thanks to their Neighbours and Friends fur the valuable Assist.
~nce tendered them during the progress of the Above destructive
Fire, which has totally destroyed their extensive Manufactory. The
preservation of their Dwelling-house they entirely owe to their
efforts, together with the able and judicious exertions of the Fire-
men of the different Offices. aided by a strong Body of the Police.
They beg to inform their numerous Friends, that arrangements
having been completed for carrying on the Drug Departments, and
also for manufacturing the various articles of Perfumery, they
therefore most respectfully solicit a continuance of those favours
which have been bestowed upon them and their late Predecessor
for a period of nearly 40 years, which circumstance alone encou-
rages them to hope that they will not now be withdrawn on account
of any little delay that may arise from t►e difficulties into whicO
they are thrown.

'2. Because, from the adjacency of the works to the grearmsnu.
factories of Birmingham, Sheffield, Shrewsbury, Staffore, and other
places, the iron of this Company can readily be procured, and also
can be so obtained for exportation from Liverpool, being only 30
miles front that town.
3. Because the rate of carriage must be so considerably less than
that from a foreign country, that the manufacturers will necesacrily
prefer U.
4. Because from the adjacency before mentioned, iron can always
be relied on by the manufacturers with certainly at stated fixed pe-
riods, without being subject to the disappointments, detentions, and
losses of sea.navigation ; and,
5. Because notwithstanding the reduction of the duty on Swedish
iron, yet the necessary price of that article, even after such redue,
tion, will enable this Company at the reduced prices to clear 7` per
cent. per annum, and even should the price be reduced below that
23 per cent. to average a profit of 50 per cent.
Having made these observations, which the TJaputation hope will
be itatisfactory to the Board, they will now proceed to state the re-
sult of their visit to Wales.

First—With respect to the wants at Pont Blithen,
and Coed Talton.

The Deputation, accompanied by Mr. Cooper and Mr. Jones,
proceeded to examine these iron weeks and collieries. The iron
they found peculiarly fluid and plentiful ; one blast fornace they
found at full work, and a second nearly completed. When that
shall also be put into active operation, and when an increased
weekly quantity of iron stone is raised constantly to supply addi-
tional furnaces, the Deputation recommend that four more should
be erected on the freehold ground belonging to the Compeny. The
present nicks of 35 tons per week will then be extended to 210 tons,
and even in the wurse of a month the make will be increased from
33 to 70 tons per week.
The Deputation examined with much pleasure a horse level
which has been driven into the estate, about 1400 yards, and by
means of which the mines are kept free from water. This object is
of the first importance, and had cost the late proprietors many thou.
sand pounds to 4u:complied, price to the purchase of the works by
this Company.
With rameet to the coals, the Braesey coal, which is used for the
furnaces, and which is of very excellent quality, is abundant, and
must be preserved foe the purposes of blasttng. The main coal,
which is 15 feet thick, is well adapted for domestic and general purr.
poses ; and with other coals of various thicknesses and qualities,
amounting to twelve in number, are ruddy saleable at good prises
and to almost any extent.
The colliers and miners on this estate are about 200 ; but as the
accommodation is inadequate for them, the Deputation recommend
that 100 cottages should be immediately erected on part of the
freehold ground, ard, when so erected, should be let at low rents.
The proposed arrangement will give to this Company a decided
advantage over others who take mineral ground, and who then
have to eink shafts, drive levels, and then procure, if possible,
colliers and miners to colonise on the property. The profits from
this estate, the Deputation beg to report, have belonged to this
Company from the twenty-ninth day of January. The books are
opened; the first monthly account the Deputation now lay on the
table of the Board : the accounts are to be rendered monthly ; the
moneys are to be paid through the hands of Messrs. Jones, Loyd,
and Co. to the credit of Messrs. Knight of 31old, and out of the stock
of iron on hand in January, and made sinoc that time, or to be made
at these and the other works of the Company hereafter mentioned,
a contract for the sale of 300 tons of iron to the delivered on the 3lst
instant has been entered into with a highly-respectable house at
Manchester, at 101. 6s. per ton. to be paid for in cash. Other ap-
plications for iron have also been male to the Deputation ; and at
the present prices any quantity can be sold by the Rain' whtch they
may feel warranted or inclined to sell. The Deputation with plea-
sure report, that a new turnpike-read, just completed through the
estate, has much increased its value ; and if the present Flint Rail-
way Bill now pending in Parliament should pass into a law, the
present rate of carriage to Flint, and also to Chester, will be di.
minished 50 per cent. This measure indeed appears to the Depu-
tation not only to be highly important to this Company, but also
beneficial to the mining interests of the vicinity, and likely to prove
very lucrative.
In fine, with reference to the works at Coed Talton, provided the
Board shall be disposed to adopt a subsequent recommendation in
this Report of appointing a Resident Director, the Deputation are
of opinion that the works at Coed Talton will be found as profitable
and eligible as any Iron \Works in the United Kingdom.
Second—The Deputation having fully examined the works be-
fore-mentioned, proceeded, on a subsequent day, to look over the
Llwyninlon works, situate in the parish of Ruabon, in the county
of Hint. With the activity, good arrangement, and general ap-
peasance of dine works the Deputation were much pleased ; and,
having carefully examined the coals and iron stone, and also the
surface, extending altogether some miles, and having ascertained
the situation and circumstances of the works, recolumend the Board
to purchase the same for 45,0u0/. being the price agreed on by the
present Proprietors, and to receive the profits and produce of the
works and collieries from the 6th of March. The Deputation have
arrived at this conclusion, from finding two blast furnaces in full
work, making together seventy tons per week—the iron so made
being of most excellent quality, and much sought after. Nor is
this the only circumstance which has induced the Deputation to ar-
rive at this conclusion ; tor, in addition to the iron works, the col-
lieries here are very productive, and the sales of coal numerous,
regular, and profitable. Nor does it impear to the Deputation that
much is required to be done with reference to these works; since
the miners and colliers are adequate in number, and the cottages for
their occupation sufficient. To the active superintendence of Mr.
Jones, our niine-superintendant„ they would recommend the Board
principally to commit three works; and, in a short time, it may be
expedient to consider whether any additional furnaces should be
erected. In addition to the other advantages connected with these
works, is the fact, that for several years bricks and tiles have been
made from the clay taken out of the mines, upon the principle
lately adopted by the Patent Brick Company ; and the Deputation
are persuaded, that if this branch of revenue is well attended to,
it will be adequate to meet most, if not all, of the expenses of the
works. The Deputation have accordingly made arrangements for
the early supply of 50,000 bricks and tiles to London, with a view
of having them examined by competent judges, and of selling the
sample at the best price which the Board can procure for the same.
Noe does the carriage to London supply any obstacle to this measure,
since the cheap rate of freight from Flint, and the contiguity of the
works to that seaport town, will well admit of the small additional
charge on the commodity. There is also another circumstance
which the Deputation cannot omit to mention, which is, that both
at the works at Coed Talton and Llwyninion, free stone may be I
procured in great abundance at a very small cost, and which will
enable the Directors, from time to time, to erect buildings for a
comparatively small amount. The bricks also, before-mentioned,
are fire-bricks, which are used for the furnaces and other works,
and are much more valuable titan common :nicks.
Third—The Deputation beg to report, that they next proceeded
to examine the works advertised for sale, lately the property of 31r.
Rowland, at Acretiir. These works the Deputation haring not I
only examined themselves, but having also been aided by the prior
survey of Mr. Cooper, anri by the information and assistance of
gentlemen well acquainted with the work,. are decidedly of opinion
would require a much g-eater proportion of the capital of this Com-
pany to purchase and to work them than actually remains. Far,
however, is it from the intention of the Deputation to state but that
capital might be well employed in such purchase and operations,
provided certain contiguous collieries could be purchased and con.
neva' with them. Vet, inasmuch es this would alone be adequate
to employ the full capital of a Company, the Deputation recommend
