Mawhera Quay, and are authorized to levy tolls in respect of the traffic thereon, The result of Mr Dobßun's Survey shews tluit a line of Railway or Tramway can be easily constructed ; that practically there are no impediments whatever in the way. The length of the Line which the Company propose immediately to commence would be about, seven miles along a portion of the country in which the incline would be about 1 in 440 from the mine to the point of shipment on Mawhera Quay, Greymouth. The alleged difficulty of ingress and egress to the River has not been overlooked. The Directors will, of course, apply themselves to the consideration of the question of, towage — at present «i costly element. They would, however, remark that with so large and valuable an Estate as the Coalfield at the threshold of Greymouth, which, if properly worked, must be a source of incalculable wealth to the district, it is scarcely possible to suppose that such an obstacle to its commerce will Imig be allowed to prevajU*>lf the interests of the owners of tug boats shall be found antagonistic to the trading of the Company, it will be requisite that the Company shall provide tug vessels of their own. The Directors desire to allude to anothe source of profit wh ich is too important to be lost sight of. The Country above the mines in the Valley of the Grey, aud upon the Arnold, is attracting a considerable number of Settlers, and the tralic returns for the raining and agricultural population theie would alone pay a handsome dividend upon the cost of constructing a line of railway or tramway comnmnica'ion between them and the port. A careful estimate of the probable revenue to be derived from the trailing of the Company has been made npon the asbtimption that 50,000 tons of Coal may be gained per annum, and brought down to the vessels lying at Greymouth After paying liberally for getting the coal, making a fair allowance for office and working expenses, and a moderate charge for freight upon the line ; together with 10 per cent, upon Capital, a profit of 25 to 30 per cent, may be anticipated upon ;i selling price of 10s. per ton for the Coal placed on board ship at Greymouth.

Artificial Teeth of every description filled in Gold or Vulcanite, with perfect exactness, so as to restore articulation and mastication, and present a perfectly natural appearance.
