The following is a copy of the Fourth Report of the
Commissioners appointed for the purp'ses of an Act
(4 G. IV. c. 74.) intituled " An Act br vesting in Com-
missioners the Bridges now building over it .e Menai
Straits and the river Conway, and the Harbours of
Howth and Holyhead, and the Itn.t.l from Dublin to
Howth; and for the further Improvement of the Road
from London to Holyhead:"

An Act having passed in the last Session of Parliament, enabling
us to make a new piece of road front the town of Barnet w South
Mimi, we Immediately entered Into a contract for executing the
work; and the progress which has already been made in it affords
every reason to believe that it will be completed In the course of
the present year.

The important alteration of the road at St. Albans, authorised by
the Act 4 Geo. IV. c. 74, having been completed, has b ea kept
in repair, under our direction, during the last year.
Under the authority of the above•meutiooed Act of last Session,
we have entered into a contract for improving four mires of toad
between Towcester and Foster's Booth, a..d considerable progress
has been made in the work.

We have likewiee, in the course of last year, under the authorky
of the Act 6 Geo. IV. c. 100, completed a mile and a quarter of
new Road, by which the hill through the town of Wednesbury is
avoided.

On the road between Wolverhampton and Shinel we have ef-
fected a considerable improvement, by lowering the summit of
Summerhouse Hill; and we have made a new road of about three
quarters of a mile in length between Sbiffnal and Heygate.
In North Wales the Menai and Conway Bridges have been clan.
pletely finished ; and three miles of new road from the town of
Conway, passing round the base of the mountain of Penman Back,
have been made.

At Holyhead the Graving Dock has been completed ; a new
Custom House and Look-out House erected, and considerable pro-
gress has been made in completing the work of the Piers and deep-
ening the Harbour.

At Howth three Diving•belh have been kept at work, deepening
and levelling the entrance of the Harbour and the Packets Births ;
and the object of Parliament in authorizing so large an expenditure
of public money on this Harbour, namely, that of securing a fit sta-
tion for the Post Office Packets, has been fully attained, the depth
of water, both at the entrance and in the births, being sufficient, not
only for the ordinary Holyhead and Howth Packets, but alto
for those of a larger size now navigating between Liverpool and
Dunleary..

For further ani more ample details of the various Works placed
under our care, we refer to the annexed Report of Mr. Telford,
deeming it necessary only to add, that the two great Works of the
and Conway Bridges having been now opened to the Public
fur a considerable time past, continue to afford the utmost facility
and security in passing those formerly inconvenient, and occasionally
dangerous, Fert les, fur which they have been substituted.
We have also annexed hereto an account of the sums of Mosey
advanced to and expended by us during the year ended the Sth
instant, on each of the aid several Works, and we lay the same
before Parliament pure to the directions contained in the
first mentioned Act.
