The Fijmouth, Pentrebach, 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,
latd dining a period of above fifty years have been the property
' arid constantly conducted by Messrs. Richard and Anthony
'AI and their late father, on an extensive scale, and with very
tOrisiderable 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 tr, carry on the works, to sell the same for the sum of
3270.-)OrA, possession being given on the Ist of May next. The
value of the works, &c., as estimated by Mr. William Need-
on ham+ an experienced ironmaster, employed by those Directors
behalf of the proposed Company, was 384,333/.
nThe Works are in complete repair, and in full and profitable
gployment, and will, by the Ist of May, be capable of produc-
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 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 200,000/.,
which is to be paid by the Shareholders as follows, viz.:--
121. 10s. per Share on allotment, or within fourteen days
afterwards.
12?. 10s. per ditto on the 15th April next.
The remainder of the capital to be paid as and when the Di-
rectors shall' equire it, in calls not exceeding 5/. per Share at
the utmost, and at intervals of six calendar months each.

From Sir Anthony Carlisle, F. R. S.
Mr. E. Solomons' Patent Spectacle Lenses seem to me likely to af-
ford additional aids to imperfect vision, and, because of their superior
retracting power to glass or other dense materials, they promise to af-
ford new resources for the construction of Spectacles.
