The Monmouthshire Cant 7 4 Company was first incorporated by an Act passed in the year 1793. .; wo subsequent Acts have extended the sphere of the Company's operZtioliii. end their present tram roads communicating with most of the g: Pat the district exceeds fifty miles in length, whiiron and coal works of lst the extent of their two branches of canal is twenty-two miles. During the last forty-five years the concern has continued to be one of a highly profitable description, the average annual dividend paid to the shareholders ha vin g been during the whole Of that period at the rate of 7 1 . 12 s. per cent„ and during the last twenty-five years the average annual dividend h as exceeded 101. per cent., being 101. per share on the original 1001. shares, The value of these shares ha s of course increased with the im proved dividends, and the purchase -mone y now agreed to be paid fur whole of the canal property is at the rate of 2001 . p er share. The purchase will secure to the Monmouthshire Railway Com pany the whole of the present profit able trade of the Canal Company, with the certainty of a very great increas e therein, as the consequence of the intended application of the modern principle of railway loco motive power to the present tram - roa ds of tiro Canal Company. Thus, beyond its prospective advantag es, this undertaking is distin guishedprojects now before the public, in this—that an immediate return will arise to the shareholders from the present works of the Canal Company now in full operation. For a long time past large sums have been annually expended by the Canal Company in solid improvements of their property. The last projected improvement is the formation of a line of railway upon the modern construction from Newport to Pontypool, a distance of ten miles, and to ca-ry out this object an Act of the Legislature passed during the last session, and which railway forms a part of the highly valuable purchase made by this Company. Although by the Newport and Pontypool Railway let a reduction has been made in the amount of tonnage hitherto payable to the Canal Company, this well not lessen the actual value of the property, for it is undeniable that much of the natural traffic of the Company has been diverted into other channels solely lit consequence of the high standard of tile rates of tonnage. The recent Act confers on the Company the power which they did not previously possess, of becoming carriers on their lines, and it is only reasonable to calcu late that by the judicious use of this power and the vigorous prose cution of the improvements of the existing tram-roads the traffic so alienated will be recovered, as well as much new traffic created.

It is further proper to state that the branch lines intended to have been made and purchased by the Canal Company to the iron, coal, and other works, will also be formed, thereby securing a consider able increase of trade upon the main lines.

This proposed line does not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester.

John shewell and Son, 25, Tokenhause —llickmansworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbury; it will then " Messrs. J. Peppercorns and Co., 2, Old Broad-street. proceed to within a short distance of Bicester and Deddington, and • Liverpool—Messrs.

Taite and Nash cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Bromsgrove, Birmingham—Mr. Collis and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, and Wenlock, Sheffield—Messrs. Bardwell and Sons. near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury; it will thence con tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale of the River Vyrnwy, will proceed to Llan-y-myneeh, Llanrhaladr, and M tchnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollex. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the,Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Peutre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francon to Bangor and Holyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most conch siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol ; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and' the Vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the 'markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success_ of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will • not only bring the richest mineral and manufatturing portions of 'England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the internlediate country not at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London 'and 'the' neighbourhood or Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy milesthan that of any other exist ing railroad ; and finally; enable travellers to' complete the entire distance in ten hours: " • It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where the line approaches Corwon, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight 'line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line • will , be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent line by Beaumaris to Holyhead. After a careful Investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors fed warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The railways now in active prlresa in .Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to save timOand distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science wilt be made available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the pnblic will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first (lass, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise se national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per asnum on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Applications for Shares may be made, in the subjoined form, to the following Solicitors, Brokers, and Agents : —Messrs.

(Provisionally Registered. This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance frem the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for its immense and valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best descriptism for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pm -eminently is the superiority of this de scription' of coat established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the Opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes' of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsetse return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to. open the mineral resources of other less promising Tallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pm. ductions. • An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be - obtained by means' of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other line. This line will afford to the increasing populatioa of the rich vales of Ely; and Rhondda a much desired conamunication with the great market town and port of Cardiff, front whence, at present, they m a y be said to he almost excluded. Ws intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the :-bead of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pas s betwebn the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and procee d dows further distanee of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel. highly favouraWe A preliminary survey has already bcen made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca pital.

This line is designed to open a direct communication between the towns of Birmingham and Boston. The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populous town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of the kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to it by geographical position, need but be mentioned to be appreciated. The name of Birmingham speaks for itself ; the capacity and value of Boston, as a commercial port, is dally,lncreasing, and requires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports. It is proposed that this ling should commence at Leicester, where it will form a continuation_ of the line from Birmingham to that town, and proceeding by. or near Melton Mowbray, Corby, Folkingham, anti Donnington, terminate at Bostoa, thus affording a direct comma cation between Birmingham and Its important manufacturing dis tricts, Rugby, the great railway centre of England, and Boston, their nearest seaport, which eventually must command the traffic of the districts with which it is in connexion, and the opposite ports of the Continent. The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest of foar per cent. per annum, after passing the Act, on the amount of the subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. A more detailed prospectus will be issued in a few days, containini the names of many influential gentlemen locally interested in the proposed line.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a line in continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at R e igate. whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of t he south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and t he several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Port sm outh, and Bristol ; and, by means of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway. w ith Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, a nd the north of England. From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will alw a Y S be the most accessible point of the English coast; an exped itlot communication therefore between that and the other ports, harbour, and hiland,towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily bt regard"' as a great national advantage. Dover is at present the chief port of embarkation for Cal Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and tile vast nurnberg already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be in measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, l in land, and Germany are fully brought into operation, In addition to which, the Government Commissioners Rav ing selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlar there • of 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place o f the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the cool" try, avid perhaps the most important town on the southern coast. In every point of view, therefore, whether for national securitY,. or for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, mere conve nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port a nd parts of ttle kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railwgei which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing the chain of railway communication Limn the narrow gauge betwe en south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and in land counties. Bag- The line will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern in, way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godalming, Fa rn t? and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western na_t_ way. It will I hen proceed by Andover towards Devizes , T bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its o l f,, through the Somersetshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towa,, Radstock into the heart of the collieries,terminate in a juncti on . _ the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. A Odl - By its course through Dorking, Godahning, Farnham, an— b ., ham, it will supply the railway accommodation so much required those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts of Stall% tb. Kent, and Sduth Hants, and afford the means of conveyance produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill. By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford , 11° , 1 , Reigate Railway," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxfor_ te th W e and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, an d f other watering-places in Sussex and Kent ; and a vast increase.°r visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the iute . r:f h of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling wr.,. will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from 14 e acl t. By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingst7e; and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway Alriletb west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south , ... Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, 45-A.."
