The Plymouth, Pentreach,
ef y Iron Works,
Merthyr Tat
ydvil, in the coubntyGlamorgan, are amongst the
earliest of the great Iron Works established in South Wales,
and daring a period of above fifty years have been the property
of, and constantly conducted by hleurs. Richard and Anthony
Hill and their late father, on an extensive scale, and with very
considerable advantage.
Messrs. Hill, being desirous of disposing of these works, have
entered into a provisional agreement with the other Gentlemen
above named as the Directors of a Company proposed to be
formed to carry on the works, to sell the same for the sum of
327,000/., possession being given on the Ist of May next. The
value of the works, &e.,
as estimated by Mr. William Need-
ham, an experienced ironmaster, employed by those Directors
on behalf of the proposed Company, was 384,3a3/.
The Works are in complete repair, and in full and profitable
employment, and will, by the Ist of May, be capable of produc-
ing annually 25,000 tons or bar iron, for which there is an
ample supply of minerals upon the property ; and judging
from their present capabilities, and from past experience, it is
calculated that the profit on the purchase money of 327,000/.
will be equal to 101. per cent. per annum.
The undertaking is offered +o the public as a permanent in-
vestment of capital; and, as the Company will be in receipt of
the profits of the Works from the Ist of May, a considerable
dividend upon the invested capital may be expected at the end
of the first year, and regularly afterwards.
Messrs. Hill agree to continue in the management of the
Works for at least two years, from the Ist of May.
The capital requisite to complete the first payment for the
Works, and to carry on the business, will amount to 9.00,0001.,
which is to be paid by the Shareholders as follows, viz.:-
121. 10s. per Share on allotment, or within fourteen days
afterwards.

121. 10s: per ditto on the 15th April next.
The remainder of the capital to be paid as and when the Di-
rectors shall require it, in calls not exceeding 51. per Share at
the utmost, and at intervals of six calendar months each.

THE VOICE CONDUCTORS invented by
Mr. E. SOLO LIONS are the most powerful Instru-
ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construction,
and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely
unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest fa-
cility. By their use the lowest whisper breathed at a public assembiy
vibrates on the organs of hearing in such a pleasant manner as to af
ford the Areatest relief to those labouring under the distressing ail-
ment of Deafness.

vantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted through

distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night, conveying also a sense
of coolness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional recom-
mendation of being free from the pernicious artributes of common

DR. SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM OF
GILEAD.
The unprecedented demand for this celebrated Medicine in cases of
Weakness and Debility, Nervous and Hypochondriac Complaints,
Mental and ttodily Decay, is the most convincing proof that can be
given of its amazing restorative powers. To such as are thus affected,
no further comment is requisite than its own intrinsic merit : for,
unless its operation were gentle, safe, and efficacious, it coul,l not
have obtained its unrivalled celebrity.
