ENGINEER.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district,
cite 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 pa9o through the central portion of the great coal-field of
Glanterganshlre, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im-
mense qnautities, 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 Iran 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 ether,
that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promisee, 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 investe4,
as has been demonstrated In every Instance whore 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 ether
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, &out whence, at present, they may
be said to be almost excluded,

South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
Bristol channel.
A preliminary survey has already beat made by competent par,

works will be executed Poly constierably under the advertised ca-

That another and a more direct line of railway Is necessary
between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Man-,
chester is now fully admitted, and the question is,—which is the best
line to be adopted ?
The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most direct'
route from London to Manchester, and will, therefore, complete the
direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expenditure
of capital than by either of the projected London and Manchester
lines (llemington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be con-
structed being only seventy-three,insteadof one-hundred and seventy
•
to one-hundred and eighty miles..
A careful preliminary survey has determined the promotbrs of this'
railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield,
as an incteased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001. judiciously ap•
plied, in the present perfected state of the Science of civil enghrering,
• and at the reduced cost of the execution of earthworks, will prove in
the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself, in the
saving-effected. In tke annual expense of working, and also, what is
of more importance to the country in general, by aceon.pllshing, at a
much less cost, the same end proposed, by an entire and distinct line
from London to Manchester.
These considerations have not been sufficiently kept In view by
other parties-who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby
to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pm,
sue valleys, and to avoid the Irregularities of the face of the country,
obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company.
The Parliamentary decision on the choice Of the London and
Brighton Railway is a parallel case; the direct line, although pre4
senting more difficulties to overcome, and Involving a greater eutlayi
having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many com-
peting projects In a more or less sinuous direction, which were at
that time supported in the House by very influential parties.
Should it be found necessary, arrangements have' been made by'
which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby, and Lon-
don, on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus
traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for.
This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the
shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Fouthampton,
Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed
railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great
Western as far as Dideot,' and thence the proposed Oxford, South-
ampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Man-
chester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any
other route, and on this account the project has been warmly sup-
ported by the-Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portamoutk Rail-
Way Company.
The deviations from a perfectly straight lino between Rugby and
Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or
valuable buildings, are very slight, and the line in general offers no
engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly
interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley,' Atherstonc,
Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trerit, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and
Leek. •

The Company has 'made arrangements with the North London
Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their
station (of the extent of sL' acres), In the centre of, the -city of Lon-
don, at the bottom of Moorgate-strect, which will prove of the ut-
most importance to this line. • _

Amidst the many railway projects that mow occupy the public
mind and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily. be conceded
that a line that will attain such important results at so small an out-
lay of capital, and the time required for its construction, mind without
interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general
approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent investment
fir capital.
The sharehoMers in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the. Manchester and
Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of
shares.

Me deeds will provide that no call shall be wade on the sharehold
ers beyod the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is ob-
tained, and power will be taken in the Act to" allow 41. per cent. In-
terest in all calls.

Applications for detailed prospectus, maps, and shares, may be
