Or equal to a dividend of nearly 734 per cent. per annum on the
capital of the Company.
It will be observed that whilst the cattle, wheat, &c. traffic is put
at an extremel low estimate, no allowance whatever is calculated
for passenger traffic or harbour dues from the port of Cardigan—facts
which cannot fail to strike the most casual observer. The working
expenses, on the contrary, are assessed at the highest estimate
known on any line. The result must be found in the decreased cost
of construction, the fruit of a does attention to the expenditure of
similar undertakings In former years.
Public meetings have been held in the various towns along the
course of the intended Railway, and without the cost of advertise-
ments or other usual means of obtaining subscriptiens, upwards of
250,0001. have already been subscribed in the country districts.
The plans, sections, and books of reference are ready, and will be
deposited in ample time to comply with the standing orders.

pits would gladly avail themselves of this railway, as a
means of transit to the upper parts of Carmarthen,hire and Pon •
brokeshire, and the whol , of the county of Cardigan. as well
as to Kidwelly, Pembrey, and Llauelly ; and train statistics
carefully prepared by this Company, the directors feel justified in
asserting, that at least 100,000 tons of coal for, burning lime would
be conveyed at 134 d. per ton per mile a distance of six miles at least
on the lino, and that at least 400,000 tons of limo, and 250,000 tons
of coal and calm for domestic use, would be conveyed every year at
I Sid.7per mile au average distance of 30 miles, and these quantities
WO dd be greatly increased fr tin year to year, tO say nothing of any
coal 'or steaming purposes brought dawn to bo shipped at Pembrey
.Docks and Milfoed Haven, or elsewhere. , ,
That the traffic in coal and lime would be borne over this line
there can be no doubt, as ft will says the consumer at least 75 per
cent, in cost of carriage and turnpikes ; and as the cost cf the lime
and coal at the pits is trilling compared to the cost of can tags at a
distance of 20 miles and upwards, it follows that, with the fume ont-
lay as at present, the farmer will be enabled to increaseli s consump-
tion of lime many times beyond that at present, to his own benefit
and that of the burners.
There are nearly 2.000 square miles eland in the counties of Car-
marthen, Cardigan, told Pembroke, the greater portion of which is
et/riveted or capable of cultivation. The nature 0 the soil requires
lime as a manure, the major part of which onse,,ad well as the neces-
sary supply of coals for its mannfacture, and for domestic purposes,
coming from one district of the line of the' proposed mineral breach,
where only it is to be Obtained, is at present cony. yed by horses
waggons, and cats, at an average expense to the purchaser of6d. to
Is. per ton per mile for carriage only; about 300 per cent• more than
the charges of the proposed railway.
It is also reasonable to suppose that the demand for the local coal,
of Carmarihenshire would greatly increase with •the facility of ob-
taining it a comparatively small cost
There are many millions of oak, larch, fir, an titer trees in the
neighbourhood of this line, at present of but sin value; but on its 0
construction, and when means exist for their nomical transit,
they would find a ready and remunerative 'nuke • ..___,- s.
The traffic in wheat, barley, oats, flour, blackitatiltc'elleeP, and
matedas increased so much within the last fore years, that it is esti,
that from these articles alone a considerable sum per annum
would be receivable for transit.
The carriage of merchandise from the various manufactories and
wholesale houses in England to the shopkespeessof Carmarthenshire,
Cardiganshire, and the upper part of Poubrokeshiref also an item
not to be overlooked.
Present traffic in lime to Cardiganshire and the upper!
parts of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, con-
veyed on an average a distance of thirty miles, at
134 d. per ton per mile (in lieu of 6d. to Is. per mile,

Lessee, Mr. E. T. SMITH.
Messrs. HERNANDEZ and EATON STONE, Directors of the
Grand Equestrian Company, beg respectihlly and emphatically to
thank their Patrons, :he London Public, for the immense support
which has sustained, and therefore induced, their protracted stay at
the above-named Royal and National Establishment. They arc not
desirous of parading their efforts to please, but they feel that it
wield indeed be affectation to veil a fact succeeded by so many vic-
tories, namely, that heart and soul, i. e , body and mind, have both
exerted every faculty to secure approbation and to merit success. All
endeavours, however, might have been problematical, or even futile,
in the result had they not been aided by the indefatigable spirit of a
liberal management. To Mr. E. T. Smith, as a gentleman, a
manager, and a lessee, Messrs. H. and S. have to offer their best
thanks. Rhetoric is not the province of the rider. Deeds, it is said,
are far better than words. The Equestrian can be graphic on horse-
back, and the Pantomimist grateful in action. Messrs. Hernandez
and Stone, with every Member of their Company, will give their ser-
vices and the total receipts of their last performance to the treasury
of their esteemed friend and generous manager, Mr. E. T. Smith. By
this arrangement every one of the Corps, from the most exalted
artiste to the humblest servitor, will have the honour and the plea-
sure of contributing to a Demonstration which is solely influenced
by that responsive feeling which ever appreciates kindness and reci-
procates generosity. This pleasing Testimonial will be presented to
Mr. Smith by a MORNING PERFORMANCE, on Saturday, Dec.
17, 1853. Positively the last of the Season. The Entertainments
will be varied and additional. Messrs. Hernandez and Stone hope
to impress a spirit of co-operation on the part of the immediate
Friends of Mr. Smith, as well as his approving patrons, the Public ;
and let all truthfully say, in a paraphrase of the language of the
Bard—

" A bumper at parting, though many
Have circled our ring since we met;
The truest, the fullest of any,
Remains to be crowned by us yet."
