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
Glarnorganshire, 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 Mer-
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 ether
less promising Tallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
ductions.
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

The Committee of Management, in consequence of receiving daily
applications for shares in this Company, beg to state th it the lists of
applhations have been closed for some time. The allotment is now
in progress, and the letters will be issued as soon as the requisite
examination has taken place. The Committee regret that the
number of shares applied for having so greatly exceeded the number
at their disposal, they will be compelled iu all cases greatly to reduce
the number applied for, and to omit entirely many applications from
respectable parties to whom they would otherwise have been desir-
ous to make allotments.

It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by 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 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 favourable
gradients, so much so that It is confidently anticipated that the
works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca-
pital.

appear fully to justify the expectation*. that by its agency they will
be enabled not only to reduce the cost of construction and transit, but
materially to increase the speed, regularity, and safety of the trains.
Joseph D. A. Samuda, Esq., will act as engineer of the atmospheric
works, by means of which it is expected that the addition of a sum
considerably under 600,0001, will be sufficient for the completion of
.the whole extended scheme.
This sum it is proposed to raise by the issue of shares of 20/. each,
upon which a deposit of 10 per cent., or 21. each, will, in compliance
with the recent Standing Order of Parliament, be required.
Applications for these shares, in the usual form, may be forwarded
