This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vailies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance from 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, the 'geological formation of which is decidedly '
proved to afford most excellent coal and iron-stone in greater abun-
dance than any other in the kingdom, with facilities of aiming ac-
cess seldom equalled, and the quality of the coal is admirably
adapted for steam purposes and the manufacture of iron.
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.
It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Talley, and proceed down to a natural pass
between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a flirther distance of
six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the
South Wales Railway, thus opening a eommunication under the most
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
British channel.
No engineering difficulties present themselves in the formation of
this line ; and it is confidently anticipated that the works will be
executed very considerably under the advertised capital.
The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertakith ene,
and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on
Provisional Committee.
No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de-
posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of
his subscription.
In the allottment of Shares, a preference will

SECRETARY—Henry Moreing, Esq.
At several large public meetings held in October last, at Brentford,
Isieworth, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously passed in
fa; our of establishing a railway communication with the metropolis,
and the Gazette notices were actually published; but the difficulty
of obtaining a suitable terminus in London induced the principal
promoters of this important undertaking to postpone bringing their
scheme before the public.
This impediment has now been overcome, and by a proposed Junc-
tion with the Central Terminus and the Thames Embankment Rail-
way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled to proceed
directly to the heart of the metropolis ; and by the united Railways,
which will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country
without interruption.
By the intended Junction, also, with the Great Western Railway,
at or near West Drayton, and by the Intersect/on or the _Birmingham
Railway at Kensington, these imp:wtant lines will be supplied with
direct access to the Central Terminus, and thence to the City, or to
the Southern and Eastern Lines.

The proposed line, whi h passes through or near the extensive and
populous suburbs of Pimlico, Chelsea, Brompton, Kensington, Ham-
mersmith, Chiswick, and Turnham-green, to the town of Brantford,
and thence to Isletvorth, Hounsiew, and West Drayton, has received
the most cordial approbation and promises of support front the great
majority of tke inhabitants and other parties locally interested.
This line is singularly free from engineering difficulties ; and,
although there is almost a complete continuity of town and village
throughout the whole distance, yet, from the care with which the
line has been laid down, ,so as to avoid property covered with build-
ings, and to take advantage of open and unoccupied spaces, the
value of the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so great as,
from the nature of the localities, would be inferred. By the adop-
tion of the Atmospheric principle, or some equally eligible mode of
working, the annoyances, inseparable from the locomotive system
will be obviated, and the advantage of almost constant trains, so in-
dispensable to this densely-populated district, will be secured.
The population of the various places at which stations are proposed
to be erected on the present line is riot less than 200,000, and to give
some idea of the large amount of traffic which may be calculated
upon, it may be stated that the present annual income derived from
the carriage of passengers, by omnibuses alone, amounts to above
100,0001. ; under these circumstances, no doubt can be entertained of
a very ample return for the capital required for this important work.
The preliminary announcements of this undertaking have referred
to it as the London, Brantford, Rounslow, and Great Western Junc-
tion Company—a title which the Provisional Committee have upon
further consideration, altered to the preseut designation, in order to
distinguish it from other schemes similar in name, but differing in
their proposed course.
The surveys of the line are completed, and every arrangement will
be made for applying to Parliament for an Act in the ensuing session,
previously to which the plans will be laid before the Metropolitan
Commissioners of Improvement for their approval.
Applications for shares, in the subjoined form, may be made, ad-
dressed to the Provisional Committee, at the temporary Offices of
the Company, 18, Parliathent-street, to the Solicitors and Parlia-
mentary Agents, and to the following agents and sharebrokers :

PROSPECTUS.
The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and form a connexion with lines already established
or projected with reasonable hopes of success.
It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor-
therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, Mayo,
and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis-
killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Malta, Swineford,
Streamstown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north,
east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London-
derry, Coleraine, BelfaSt, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valentia,
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
no other country in the world enjoys.
The country through which the proposed line travels is moetttecertsivilee
in mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces
any
of connaught
coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all penesmetrpolitan lines
.and and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so many
an
e(loal degree
of railway, it will develope those advantages in
the province of Leinster.

The counties which this railway traverses abundantly supply the
English markets with cattle, pigs, gm. This line, communicating with
so many ports, will afford the greatest facilities for the shipping of
this portion of trade, some idea of the extent of which may be ormed
from the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually
in its immediate vicinity, among them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac-
knowledged the greatest for sheep end cattle in the British islands..
It has been ascertained that the country presents great engineeriltif
facilities for the construction of a railway, and in communications
which have been received from the landowners along the line, the
greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion.
The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first
deposits until an Act of ParNplent is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions.
Power will be applied for in the Act—and In the meantime Is
hereby given to the Committee—to alter the capital, if necessary ; to
vary or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or
epter Into arrangements with any other company or companies ; and
ao to nominate the first directors of the company. • . •
The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be
ready for signature on payment of the deposits.
It will be seen from the plan that the railway intersectsmany main
lines, and will thus contribute to, and receive from them • a con-
siderable amount in passenger and merchandise traffic.
From the estimates that have been made, a return of at least 10
per cent. must be realised on the capital.
