the beet north country Hartley's ; and notwithstanding thei hi*
price, so highly is it esteemed, that the present importation tuned*
to nearly toe,ooo tons per annum. This coal for the most partdgi
brought from a distance of 24 miles, and chipped at CardAVitle
. whence freights to London have averaged from l Oa. to l Is. per ton
during the past year; but so uncertain is the slippy to the metropo-
lis, owing to the scarcity of ships on the Welsh coast, and the long
and precarious navigation round the Land's End, that many who are
anxious to adopt their engine grates for its tss, are deterred from
the too great uncertainty which exists against obtaining a regular
and constant supply; these difficulties will be mitlrely superseded by
the proposed railway, and these it is intended to join, with the great
additional advantage and impetus to increased ate and consumption,
that it may be delivered to the consumer at from 2s. to 3s. per ton
less price. than at present. Under such circumstances, it will not
appear unreasonable to those unacquainted with the trade, to expect
that the consumption in the metropolis alone will be increased four-
fold, whilst a new-found trade will be opened out with Chepstow,
Gloucester, Cheltenham, Witney, Oxford, and the numerous inter-
medcate towns to London, where steam coal is used.
It has been considered more Judicious to form a separate Company
for the Extension line from Chepstow to the Tag Vale, than to alter
the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway
Company at present, but powers are proposed tie be taken for uniting
the two Companies hereafter, with the assent of their respective
Boards of Direction.
Prefbrenee will be given to those locally Interested, awl to the
holders of Shares in the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Glouceeter
Junction Railway.
A reference to the map will show the import:aloe of this line as
tbrnaing a direct line of railway commuulcation between the great
mineral district of Monmouthshire and Glamorganohire, with Site
heart of the Kingdom and London.
It may confidently be stated that in connexion with the Chop- stow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway, there is
not a line of' railroad Mille Kingdom which offers greater sublitn-'
ince to the ghareholders than the present. Prevision will bat thada
lu the Act of Parliament which will be applied for In the nextees-
Won to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the =mud of his
shares, and to allow :Our per cent. on the palls.
Until an Act •f Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shell be under the control of the Managing Direeters, to
whom p.sver is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the flimsiest
the Company in payment of all the expenses Inenrred in its }Omit),
Lion, and In the preparation of the Plans ant Sections submitted to
Parliament. . •
