This Railway is projected for the purpose of nutting the Rhondda
and Ely Vailles, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral distriet,
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, where iron-stone also abounds wills the coal in im-
mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly fiat, and,
obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition
to its being of excellent quality for tram making, as is proved at Mer-
thyr and Aberdeen, is Also, like that of those districts, of the very
best deserlpthm for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although
Inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of title de-
scription of coal eetablislied for steam purposes over my other,
that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accerd-
Ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super-
sede all others fir purposes of steam navigation. This source
trails 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 premising vailics in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and thcility of ebtealnoblntgainitaeciprbo
fl
y-
uctions.
An Inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu-
facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may h
means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any ether
Una. _ _

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 Mien Rhondda, the

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 ander the most
advantageous 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 faroural.le
gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the
works will be exoented very consitterably ander the advertised ea-
