together on the line will not extend to one mile, and no viaduct or
embankment will be more than forty feet in height.
There are about 150 kilns in the neighuourhood of the lime
district, producing at pre,ent about 500,000 tons of line annually
(4-sths cf which are carried northwards), and many coal pits
producing upwards of 500,000 tons; and for a very large portion
of this produce the proprietors of the lime-kilns and coal
pits would gladly avail themselves of this railway, as a
means of transit to the upper parts of Carmarthen hire and Pem•
brokeshire, and the whol • of the county of Cardigan, as well
as to Kidwelly, l'embrey, and I.lanelly ; and from 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 1 54 d. per ton per mile a distance of six miles at least
on the line, and that at least 400.000 tons of lime, and 250,000 tons
of coal and cu!m for domestic use, would be conveyed every year at
per mile an average distance o; 30 miles, and these quantities
would be great.), increased fr .112 year to year, to soy nothing o' any
coal or steaming purposes brought down to be shipped at Pembrey
Docks and Milford Haven, or elsewhere.
That the traffic in coal and lime would be borne over this line
there can be no doubt, as it will save the consumer at least 75 per
cent. in cost of carriage and turnpikes ; and as the cost of the lime
and coal at the pits is trifling compared to the cost of carriage at a
distance of 20 miles and upwards, it follows that, with the same out-
lay as at present, the farmer will be enabled to increase irs 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 of land in the counties of Car-
marthen, Cardigan, and Pembroke, the greater portion of which is
cultivated or capable of cultivation. The nature of the soil requires
lime as a manure, the major part bf which lime, as well as the neces-
sary supply of coals for its manufacture, and for domestic purposes,
coming from one district of the line of the proposed mineral branch,
where only it is to be obtained, is at present conveyed by horses
waggons, and cats, at an average expense to the purchaser of tid. 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 Carmarthenshire would greatly increase with the facility of ob-
taining it a comparttivelA small cost
There are many millions of eak, larch, flr, and other trees in the
neighbourhood of this line,,at present of but small value • but on its
construction, and when means exist for their economical transit,
they would find a ready and remunerative market.
The traffic in wheat, barley, oats, flour, black cattle, sheep, and
pigs has increased so much within the last four years, that it is esti-
mated that from these articles alone a considerable awn per annum
would be receivable for4ransit.
The carriage of merchandise from the various manufactories and
wholesale houses in England to the shopkeepers of Carmarthenshire,
Cardiganshire, and the upper part of Pembrokeshire, is also an item
not to be overlooked.
Present traffic in lime to Cardiganshire and the upper

parts of Carmarthenshlre and Pembrokeshire, con-
veyed on an average a distance of thirty miles, at

I per ton per mile (in lieu of 6d. to Is. per mile,
the present expense), is calculated to produce..•. . £75,000 0 0

THEATRE ROYAL, DRITRY - LANE.
Lessee, Mr. E. T. SMITH.

Messrs. HERNANDEZ and EATON STONE, Directors of the
Grand Equestrian Company, beg respectfully 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 are not
desirous of parading their efforts to please, but they feel that it
would 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. mnith 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."
