WALES, 
Interefiing particulars refpecting the im- 
provements 
at Swanfea, in Glamorganihire, South Wale 
At the weftern entrance of the port, a abe 
pier, running 228 yards into the fea, has been 
conftrudted, w nick “has, already, had the ex- 
traordinary efie@: of deepening the channel, 
not lefs than ae feet, although it has not 
been ere&ted more than, five years. On the 
outfide of this pier, where, before its ereétion, 
the fea was making rapid encrcachments, the 
fand new collecis, fo as to forma vaft increafe 
and accumulation of ground. ‘The great fuc- 
cefs attending this building has moreover, in- 
duced the fubfcribers to render it ftill mure 
giment of 
which have lately taken a ae 
Cornwali— Wales.

advantageous, by nae it out 67 yards 
farther, for which purpofe many workmen 
are now employed upon it. “On the eaftern 
fide of the harbour, a fecond pier is alfo to be 
raifed, extending from a place called the 
Salt houfe, towards the pceint of the weftern 
pier, unti! an opening of 70 yards only is left 
for fhips to enter into the port. This, it is 
conceived, will render the harbour one of the 
mott fecure and commodious the kingdum can 
boaft of. ‘The trade of Swanfea is every year 
rapidly increafing. In1768, the number of 
vefiels that cleared out hence was only 694, 
meaiuring 30,631 tons, in 1790 they amount- 
ed to 16775 carrying 74,927 tons; but from 
September 29, 1799, to September 29, 1800, 
the number was not lefs than 2590, the ton- 
nage of which amounted to 134,264 tens 3 
tofo great a height has the commerce of this 
port been extended, notwithftanding the ne- 
ceflary effect, of a faa defolating war. Dur- 
ing the prefent year, the advance has been 
confiderable, and with the progreffive exerti- 
ons of future induftry, it may be fairly con- 
cluded, that the trade will récéive a Mill fur- 
ther increafe. The feveral canals that have 
been opened on the Neath and Swanfea rivers, 
for the conveyance of coals, mu(t render thofe 
places'the great fcene of fuch manufaétures, 
as depend upon a fuppiy of fuel 5 and fortu= 
nately the mountains of this county are fo 
replete with coals, iron, é&c. that many ages 
cannot totally exhauft them. Jt is on this 
account that numerous {melting houfes, refi- 
neries of copper, iron, furnaces, and- other 
vaft undertakings, have been gradually eita- 
blifhed in this neighbourhood. 
At Margam a fupendous machine is now 
erecting to roll copper’ Two vat wheels of 
caft iron, each 24 feet in diameter, are fet in 
motion by a fteam engine; one of the wheels, - 
which they call a fly are makes 30 revo- 
lutions in 4 minute, and regulates the 
movement of the whole machine. Notwith- 
ftanding the number of iron works already 
eftablithed in this county, near 20 biaft fur- 
naces are now .conftruéted or in conte:-ipla--

A new company of proprietors, near Si- 
thowee, on the borders of Monmouthihire, 
have lately commenced building a very con- 
fiderable work, to which they have given the 
name of Tredegar Iron Works, in compli- 
ment to the owner of the foil. They intend 
attaching to this {pot an entirely new town, 
ona regular, well-concerted plan, with broad 
{treets, interfecting each other at right angles, 
and forming an o€tagon inthe centre. From 
hence a rail or tram road is making to New- 
port, a diftance or about 24 miles, and of fo 
regular a defcent, that one horfe will fuffice 
to draw 10 tons down, and bring the empty 
waggon back. By the fide of this ratl or tram 
road, another very commodious:road for horfes 
and carriages will be formed, for the conveni- 
ence of travellers. It is propofed to make 
Wewport the grand depot of the trade, as its
