This Railway is projected fir the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vallies, with the South IValcs 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 fir its immense and valuable
products.
It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of
Glamorganshire, where iron-stone als., aboinuls with the coal in im-
mense quantities, and laying, geoleg;cally speaking, nearly fiat, and,
obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition
to its being of excellent quality for ire' making, as is proved at Mer-
thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very
best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although
inflammable, indoest so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de-
scription if 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 kas been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads er
canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other
less promising vallles in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
ductions.

5../A.11.• •
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 ether
Hue.
This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales
of Ely and Rhoncldst a much desired coramunicatien with the great
market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may
be said to be almost excluded.
It is intended that the line shall commence at Elaen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass
between the hills at l'frwd Amws, a distance if eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Arr,lley 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 the most
adlantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
Bristol channel.

A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par-
ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable
gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the
works will be exectzted very conslierably under the advertised ca-
pital.
The landowners along the line aro favourable to this undertaking,
and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the
Provisional Commfittee.
No Subscriber w ill be answerable beyond the amount of his de-
posit until he Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount et
his subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be m icier the control of the Managing Directors, to
wfcom power is given to allot the Share s, and to apply the funds
of the Company in pajnuent of all the expenses incurred in its forma-
tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted
to Parliament.
Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi-
tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make
branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or
otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi-
nate the first Directors of the Company.

In the allot tment of Shares, a preference will be given to
landowners on the line and other parties locally Interested...
