This Company has been constituted in Paris by the active pro-
moters of the well-known Pecan's Company (for the Great Northern
and Southern line). for the purpose of tendering for the lease of the
projected railway from Paris to Lyons.
It is confidently expected that the adjudication of the line will be
made in November next, so that, even if the Coin zany should not
succeed in obtaining the lease, the delay and loss of interest will
be trifling.
The short time, however, within which all the formalities must be
completed, renders it imperative that the subscription b., closed in a
very few days ; therefore an early application must be made to en-
sure attention.
Applications for shares are to be addressed to the Solicitors, 31,
➢foorgate-street, and must be made by tilling up and sending the
following printed form, without detaching It from this prospectus.
London, October 18, 1845.
To the Directors of the above-named Paris and Lyons Railway Com-

puny.
Gentlemen,--I hereby subscribe for shares of 201. each in
the capital stock of the above Company, on the terms and conditions
set forth above: I undertake to accept that number of shares, or any
less number which may be apportioned to me, and to pay the deposit
thereon, and the fliture calls, to the extent of my liability, as above de-
fined ; and I also undertake to sign all necessary documents autho-
rising the execution, in my behalf of the" Acte de Societe," and bind-
ing me to conform to the statutes of the Company.

At a public meeting of the iron-masters, landed proprietors, and
others, interested in the mineral district of South Wales, held at
Tredegar, on Monday, the 20th instant,
It was moved by JOHN RUSSELL, Esq., of Elva, and seconded by
Jonti EVANS, Esq., of Dowlais, and resolved—
That the thanks of this meeting are due, and be given, to the depu-
tation of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company for
their attendance here to-day, and to Mr. Ward in particular, for It's
very able statement of the views and intentions of that Company ;
and that it is the . opinion of this meeting, the Great Eastern and
Western Railway Company, as the first to project and prove the
practicability of direct communication between Merthyr end Here-
ford, deserves the support of the mineral districts of South Wales.

NOTICE.,
SOUTHAMPTON and GREAT WESTERN
JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Provisional Committee having entered into negotiations with
the principal companies whose interests are Identified with this pro-
ject, and whose support they were led to expect, thought it des!rabie
to delay the completion of the surveys whilst these negotiations were
pending. Having failed, however, to bring them to a satisfactory con_
c lusion, and being also disappointed In obtaining the. Mcient assistance
of the engineers on whose services they had reded, the Committee
have most reluctantly come to the conclusion, looking to the Import-
ance of the line, and the extreme care as to surveys and plans pro-
perly required by the standing orders of Parliament, that it is expe-
dient to postpone the further prosecution of this project until the
following session, rather than to endanger its success by errors whiz:it
must be incident to too hasty an attempt at preparation. The Com-
mittee have only arrived at the determination thus announced anti*
mature deliberation and with much regret, when they reflect upon
the very flattering and substantial expressions of support received
from parties locally interested, as well as from the public generally.
Entertaining, however, as they do in common with others of no
mean authority, a firm conviction that this scheme must eventually
receive the sanction of the Legislature, the Committee will not relax
their exertions, believing that the step they are now taking will cot
tend to diminish the confidence of those who have so kindly inte-
rested themselves in its success.
By order of the Committee.

The vales of the Ogwr (or Ogmore) Fawr and Ogwr Fach, and
of the Garw, lying near and nearly parallel to each other, abound
in minerals of the most valuable description, but owing to their
seek-clod situation, and, above all, to the want of a cheap and easy
co.maunication with the sea, have t een hitherto wholly neglected.
In order to supply this deficiency, and to open to the various
markets the vast resources which these valleys afford, the above
connecting lines of railway have been projected. and by them com-
munication with the port of Cardiff, Port Talbot, Portlicawl, and
every other port in the Bristol Channel, will be effected.
The length of the main line will be about 18 miles, and the branches
up the three valleys 16, making in the whole about 34 miles.
The branches will commence from Illaenogwr, in the vale of Ogwr
Fawr, from Blaenogwr, in that of the Garw, from Illaenogwr, In the
vale of the Ogwr Fach, and will concentrate at Bryn Cethin ; frcta
thence the main line formed by thisjunction'avill pass by Llanharren,
and join the South Wales Railway near t.) the port of Cardiff.
The whole district of country thrzugli which the lines will pass has
already been surveyed by highly competent parties, and affords gra-
dients and levels of the most favourable kind. No heavy cuttitr,
expensive bridges, or embankments, will be required, so that the
cheap execution of the proposed lines is perfectly certain. There is
on the spot abundance pf stone and other materials for the proper
execution of the works. The project is supported by powerful
interests, and all the landowners who have yet been consulted have
given their sanction and approval.
The rising town of Bridgend and its neighbourhood will
be greatly benefited by the completion of this undertaking, and a
cheap and ready market be afforded for their manufacturing and
agricultural produce. It is intended to form a junction with the
South Wales Railway near this town.
The vales present sites fer ironworks; and the establishment of
collerieS on a large scale will immediately succeed the formation of
the road. Twenty-five miles of the line will pass through pro-
perty abounding in coal, ironstone, blackband, and limestone, all
which products have not at present the means of transit to any mar-
ket whatever.

It is confidently anticipated that the investments in this under-
taking will give a handsome return to the shareholders.
No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub-
scription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of a Managing Committee, to
whom power will be given to allot theshares, and to apply the funds
of the Company in payment 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 to raise any additional capi-
tal, 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 power is hereby given
to the registered promoters to nominate the Managing Committee
of the Company.
. .

In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to landowners
on the line, and to other parties locally interested.
Prospectuses and maps may be bad of; and applications for shame
may be addressed, in the form annexed, to W. E. James, Esq. soli-
citor, 5, Basinghall-street, London, at the temporary Offices of the
Company; and at those of the undermentioned brokers; but no ap-
plications for shares will receive the attention of the Committee
