VALE OF NEATH RAILWAY.
•
The allotment of Shares in this Railway being now com-
pleted, the Committee of Management desire to express their regret
that they have been unable to comply so fully as they desired with
the applications 01 parties locally iittetrested, and of holders of Shares
in the South Wales Railway.
The public generally will also accept as an apology, that owing to
the unprecedented number of applications, the Committee have been
compelled to overlook many of the very highest character and re-
spectability, and of necessity to limit the number of Shares in each
allotment.

This line is intended to open a direct communication between the
Great Western and its connexions ; Birmingham, Manchester, the
principality of Wales, (via Oxford); and the South-Eastern and
Brighton Railways: thereby affording to travellers from the north,
north-west, and west of England, as well as from Wales and Ireland,
a direct route to the Continent and all the ports on the south-east
coast without the expense and inconvenience of passing round by
London, where the delay consequent upon changing trains, &e.,
cannot be estimated at less than six or eight hours, not to mention
The saving of tune effected by traversing but one side of a triangle
in,tead of two (vide map.)

it is proposed that the line should commence at Reading on the
f ;rent Western, and passing through or near Oakingham, Sandhurst,
Blackwater, Farnborough, (on the South-Western), Guildford, Dork-
ing, Reigate, terminate at Redhill, the junction of the South-Eastern
and Brighton lines ; thus forming one of the most important con-
necting lines in the kingdom, presenting no engineering difficulties.
A glance at the map will render the great advantages of this junc-
tion so self-evident, that it is deemed useless to enter into minute
details ; but, from calculations, a large return to the shareholders
may reasonably be looked for, as it will open a direct transit fed
merchandise and passengers from the principal manufacturing dis-
tricts to the ports c ntiguous to the Continent, and pass through a
rich and populous country, which in itself would afford ample return
on the cabital invested ; great additional traffic may also be antici-
pated from ti=e contiguity and facility of communication with the
metropolitan race-courses—Epsom, Goodwood, and Ascot.
It will interfere with no existing lines, but, o❑ the contrary, while
it receives it will give support to all the western and north-western
railways, with some of which negotiations are now pending.
As a line bringing into direct commuhication the coast opposite
France, and such extensive districts of our own country, it may reason-
ably be anticipated that the Government will not overlook advantages
which•may one day be of such vital importance to our empire.
Prospectuses and Maps and any information may be had at the
Offices of the Solicitors, and of Messrs. Shewell and Co., 25, Token-
house-yard; Messrs. Field and Bayley, and Messrs Carden and
Whitehead, Threadueedle-street ; to whom applications for Shares
may be addressed.
