The Plymouth, Pentrehach, and Duffryn Iron Works, at
Merthyr Tydvil, in the county of Glamorgan, are amongst the
earliest of the great Iron Works established in South Wales,
and during a period of above fifty years have been the property
of, and constantly conducted by Messrs. 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 Comparty proposed to be
formed to carry on the works, to sell the same for the sum of
327,0001., possession being given on the Ist of May next. The
value of the works, &c., as estimated by Mr. William Need-
ham, an experienced ironmaster, employed by those Directors
on behalf of the proposed Company, was 384,33/.
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 of 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 to the public as a permanent in-
vestment of capital ; and, as the Company will be in receipt of
the profits of the Wurls.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 200,0001.,
which is to be paid by the Shareholders as follows, viz.:.-
121. I Os. 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 Si. per Share at
the utmost, and at intervals of six calendar months each.

Needham's Report, may be had at the Offices of Messrs.

SIGHT AND HEARING.—TESTIMO-
NIALS en th Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS newly inventel SPECTACLEe LENSES and INVISIBLE OPERATIVE
VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons.
From James Blundell, Esq , M.D.:— •
" I have now tried for some time the Messrs. Folomons' dewly
invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ; they
are far preferable to my vision than any other Lens ; the relief is
very great, in particular by candledight, and in course of use for a
length of time the clearness of the transparency brings every object
very distinct; they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like
myself; may stand in need of them.

" JAMES 'l No. 1, Great George-street, Westminster."BLUNDELL, M.D.
" We, the undersigned, have been for some time making use of
Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing
relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer-
ence to every otnor kind of Lens—the clearness of the transparency
brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the
most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly
pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and
t often bright and brilliant lights:—

In placing the above List of Testiroonials before the Public, the
essrs. Solomons, Opti.cians and Aurist% state that their INVISIBLE
OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, be which thousands of Deaf
Persons have been greatly benefited is not larger than a seven-shilling
Piece, and when fixed into the ea :ity of the ear is soft and easy, and
not snore uncomfortable norrlceptible than having a piece of wool
in its place. By its use the ountest whisper at a public assembly is
beard with distinctness.
These important new Inventions are patronised by their Majesties
the King and Queen at Hanover, and their Royal Highnesses the
Princesses August./ and Sophia, her Serene Highness the Princess
Esterhazy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa, and their Graces the Dukes
of Devonshira and Manchester, &c. &c.

THE VOICE CONDUCTORS invented by
Mr. IieOOIONS are the most powerful Instru-
merits for the rf of deafness. From their minute construction,
and convenient form, deaf persons am 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 assembly
vihrates on the organs of hearing in such a pleasant manner as to af.
ford the greatest relief to those labouring under the distressng ail.
merit of Deafness.
Mr. E. SOLOMONS' PATENT SPECTACLES possess the ad.
vantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted through
the various humours of the eye, so as to render vision most perfectly
distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night, conveying also a sense
of coolneseand pleasure to the organ, with the additional recom-
mendation of being free from the pernicious attributes of common
glasses. Their superlative excellence is attested by the following
and many other eminent practitioner., who have examined, used,
