PROSPECTUS.

This Company, which is under the sanction of the G:eat Western
and South Waies Railway Companies, and patronised by the Corpo-
rations of Cardigan, Carmarthen, arid Rldwellc, and the principal
magistrates, landowners, and gentlemen of influence interested in
the several counties of Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Pembroke, will
form a direct inaitd-guage communication between London and the
important ete.port and town of Cardigan ; embracing, also, the inter-
vening towns of Kidwelly, Carmarthen, Llandyssil, and Newcastle
miyn, by means of the South Wales and Great Western route; and
by branch lines of railway from Carmarthen and Kidwelly, It will
connect the important mineral districts of the Van, Capel, Crwban,
and Graigbicca districts of lime kilns, and Cro hands and Gorsgoch
di•ttriet of coal pits, with Kidwelly, Carmarthen, Landyssil, New-
castle Emlyn, and Cardigan, so as to bring both limo and coal to
the country bordering on the river Trey at a moderate cost, and by
its connexion with the south Wales, Vale of Neath, and other rail-
ways, to take back the agricultural produce of that part of the coun-
try to the Iron works and other good markets. This Is, therefore,
emphatically the farmers' and landowners' line.
In addition to the foregoing important °elects, there is one of
great national interest proposed by this Company, viz —the improv-
ing the port of Cardigan, and the formation of a Harbour of Refuge
in Cardigan Bay for the west coast of Wales, which can be earned
out at a comparatively moderate expense.
In a commercial and national point of view, the Harbour of Refuge
will be of paramount importance, for the dangerous navigation of the
Bay of Cardigan, which is the great highway for the American and
other traders to Liverpool from the south, and to Bristol and other
ports from the north, evidenced by the fact that upwards of 14,000
ships, on t'..n average of five hundred tens each, annually sail through
the Ity
of Cardigan, and pass by the mouth of the port, not one of
'F'.;ich at present can find shelter, in the event of bad weather, be-
tween Holyhead and Milford Haven, a distance of upwards of one
hundred miles. It will, therefore, readily be seen what an increase
of traffic would come into the port of Cardigan, were a Harbour of
*Refuge constructed there, and there is every reason to believe that
her Majesty's Government will materially aid the carrying out of
this object, The surveys made by Captain Sheringbam, by order of
the Lords of the Admiralty, expressly pointed out the advantages
possessed by Cardigan over any other place or port in that bay.
The proceed Harbour of Re'uge is inten cd to be constructed
close to Remmes Head. outside the bar, and entirely free from dan-
ger, having good clay-bottom anchorage, with sufficient space and
depth of water, even for ships of the line.
The distance between London and Dublin is many miles shorter
by Cardigan than by Holyhead, and Cardigan is nearly in the direct
line from London to Waterford and Wexford.
The extent of the passenger line will be about 40 miles, and the
mineral branches about 23 miles (in all about 63 miles), which, at
14,0001. per mile, leaves 118,0001. for the cost of the Harbour of
Refuge.
The numerous and valuable supplies of coal, lime, and other Oar-
ries with silver-lead and copper ores, upon the route, would be
brought into immediate and close connexion with the manufacturing
districts of South Wales, Birmingham. Manchester, and the metro-
polis ; and the trade in timber for ship-building and other purposes,
the growth of which in many parts of the counties of Carmarthen.
Cardigan, and Pembroke, has been hitherto almost profitless, will
now, with the whole agricultural produce of the district, have ready
markets afforded.
The comeletion of this undertaking will it'so at once effect the
quick transmission of cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, poultry, butter,
grain, bacon, and other produce from the south of Ireland, for the
supply or the metropolis and manufacturing districts of England and
Wales ; the importation of various descriptions of provisions alone
from Ireland exceeding 150,000 tons every year.
The through traffic, and the conveyance of tourists and travelling,
nylon which many railways depend almost entirely, will likewise
form an additional source of remuneration ; the rivers and scenery
of this part of the country affording abundant attractions to the
fisherman and lover of the picturesque.
The. distinction which the locality of the Bay of Cardigan has
hitherto possessed as a summer retreat for bathing, will also be con-
siderably enhanced.
The starting point for the passenger traffic will be at Carmarthen,
by a junction with the south Wales Railway, thence near Conwi!,
Llandyssil, and Newcastle Emlyn, to Cardi:an ant the proposed
harbour at the mouth of the Tiny; thus there will ba a continuous
line from London to Cardigan without break of gauge.
The mineral branch will join the passenger line at Carmarthen,
and proceed by way of Llanddarog, Porthyrhyd, and Manse's Arms.

ENGLISH ASSISTANCE DURING THE
PRESENT WAR.
Almost all the readers of the daily papers are puzzled to make
out the position and prospects of the combatants, bat English inter-
ference must be required. The elements of the present w are
palpable enough in the City and in the country. The grand northern
too has declared his hostilities, and opened a regular siege on the
canstitutions of the British subjects, by Fogs, Damp, Rain, and Frost,
moving in consolidated masses, or dispersed in irregular troops under
the comman
Md of General Winter. To meet these inhospitable in-
vaders, E. OSES and SON have marshaled an in omparable army
of Overcoats, Paletots, rappers, &c., &c., of sufficient force to
destroy the antagonistic influence of the elements, and to act as
Life and comfort Guards on unnumbered thousanda ; and the re-
nowned artillery of their strong, neat, and substantially-made Win-
ter Coats, Vests, end Trousers, will entirely subdue the capturing
powers of colds, whose penal settlements are rheumatics and all the
ills of the Winter Season. An army of reserve is just made up by
E. v OSES and SON for sale at their Establishment and West-end
Branch, consisting of Oxford Blues, Greys, and Mixtures of the most
novel, seasonable, and serviceable materials, associated with the
most fashionable and accomplished workmanship ; and minions of
Light Infantry, in Children's and Youths' Attire, most magnificently
bring up the rear of Eighteen Hundred and Fifty-three. Victory
will be consolidated by the best Understandings which ever existed
—a Stock of Boots and Shoes of unparalleled quality and cheapness ;
and thecrovrning of these victorious powers will be at the establish-
ments of E. MOSES and SON, the largest, best, and cheapest stock
of Hats and Caps being prepared for the purpose. The event will
be celebrated by a vast selection of Hosiery Goods, Fars, Shawls,
Ladies' Cloaks, &c., &c.; and in superabundant satisfaction every
one exclaims, " Long live the Queen, and prosperity to all her
subjects."
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having tq guard the
public against imposition,having learned that the untradesman-like
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have ).

BLASTING OF CLIFF AT DOVER.—It is calculated that
nearly 200,000 tons of chalk will be removed from the
overhanging summit of the cliff beyond Athol-terrace,
which is shortly to be blasted. The mass of rock has for a
long time exhibited a very threatening appearance • and
last season, at the termination of the frosts, the inhabit-
ants of the locality were very naturally alarmed at a fall
of some hundred tons. This has led the owners of the pro-
perty in the neighbourhood to devise means to obviatethe
recurrence of such an accident, and the process of blast-
ing appears the most favourable, if not the only practical
i
measure that can be adopted. The excavation, which g
still going on, is to extend to a distance of sixty
within the solid body of the cliff, and to consist of threeer
cavities, each of which will be charged with p.oiownd
