TO RAILWAY CONTRACTORS AND OTHER LARGE
CAPIT kLIsTS.

Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. The Hotel, Gardens, Lawn, ani
New Passage Ferry. I I miles from Bristol.

MR. LILLY is instructed to SELL, by
AUCTION, at the Commercial Sale Room, Bristol, on FRI-
DAY, the 2d November, 185,, at One o'clock precisely,
The Hotel, Garden, Bowling Green, extens ve Stabling, Coach-
houses, and Outbuildings, at the New Passage, with two Cottages
and Gardens, and about eight acres of Meadow and Pasture Land,
all in the parish of Henbury, in the county of Gloucester, adjoining
the shore of the River Severn, and about 11 miles from the city of
Bristol.

And at the same time and place will be Sold,
The ancient Passnge or Ferry, across the river Severn, from the
New Passage on the Gloucestershire side to the Black Rock Hotel
on the Nlonimiltilishire side of the river, within a few furlorgs of the
South Wal,s Railway; together with the Quays, Piers, and Landing
Places on the Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire shores, and the
Pitt, called Chissell Pill, and alt the Tolls, Fines, Payments, and
Emoluments receivable on account of the said Ferry, Piers, Quays,
and Landing-places.

A referenee to the Map of England will immediately show the
Important position of this New Passage Ferry. It affords the
shortest toute between the West and South-West of England,
Bristol, Bath, Salisbury, and Southampton; and Monmouthshire and
South Wales; and also between Bristol, Herefordshire, Shropshire,
and Liverpool ; and a railway of about 103, miles would comnect the
Ferry with the Midland ,railway, the Great Western Railway, and
the Bristol tusd Exeter Railway. Steam-vessels upon the system in
u e between th. Cheshire and Lancashire shores at Liverpool, be-
tween New Holland and Hull, and at the Frith of Forth, could con-
veniently ply across the New Passage Ferry; and an immense traffic
In passengers and goods now carried on with Monmouthshire and South
Wales, across the Bristol Channel, or by the circuitous route of
Gloom•^t T. would be the immediate result of such an improved com-
munication.

Tlit :south Wales Line would be reached at a point only fifteen
miles from Bristol, which, via Gloucester, is upwards of sixty.
The above Property well deserves the attention of Railway Con-
tractors, or of any Capitalist who is disposed to secure the command
of one of the most important Railway routes in the kingdom, and
which must at an early period be adopted as an indispensable mode
of communication between Bristol and Monmouthshire and South
Wales.
