ENGINEER.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Valles, 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
Cllamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in Im-
mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and,
obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition
to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at 3rer-
thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very
best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although
Inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de-
scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other,
that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises accord-
ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super-
sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of
traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested,
as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or
canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other
less promising rallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
Auctions.
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.
This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales
of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great
market town and port of Cardiff, front whence, at present, they may
be said to be almost excluded.
It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to a natural pass
between the hills at Filwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of
six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the
South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under theinmtbet
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the po
Bristol channel.
