This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
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
Glamorganshire, 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 snaking, 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 tar 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
traffle 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 promising vallies 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 mane-'
facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by
means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other
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 6nd port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may-
be said to be Almost excluded.

It is intended that Um line shall commence at Bison 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 itirther distance of
six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the
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 lx en 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 untor the advertised ca-
pital.

The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking,
and the names of many Influential proprietors will be found on the
Provisional Committee.
No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de-
posit until the Act Is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of
his subscription.

Until an AQt of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Co-npany shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to
whom power is given to allot the Mans, and to apply the funds
of ihe 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 (and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi-
tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make
branch Ines, or enter into' any arrangements, by amalgamation or
otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi-
nate the first Directors of the Company.

In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given to
landowners on the line and other parties locally Interested.
Prospectuses and Maps may be had of, and applications for
Shares may be addressed in the form annexed to, W. B. James,
Esq., Solicitor, 5, Basinghall-street, London ; to W. Morgan, Esq.,
Solicitor, Bridgend, Glamorganshire ; and to the undermentioned

That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary
between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts arettud Man- '
ehester is now fully admitted, and tire question is,—which fethe 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 (Remington'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 promoters of this
railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield,
as an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001. judiciously ap•
plied, in the present perfected state of the science of civil engin, °rine:,
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 the annual expense of working, and also, what is
of more importance to the country in general, by accon.plishing, 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 pur-
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 pre-
senting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greateroutlay,
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 Binningr.am 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 Southampton,
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 Didcot, 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 Portsmouth Rail-
way Company.
The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and
3facclesfield 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. Tire towns more directly
interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone,
Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbournc, 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 six acres), in the centre of the city of Lon-
don, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the ut-
most importance to this line.
Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public
mixd 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, and without
,interfering with any existing vested interests, must meetwith general
approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent investment
for capital.
The shareholders 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.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the sharehold-
ers beyod the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is oh-
tained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. in-
terest in all calls.

SECRETARY.—Mr. Spencer Herepath, Wakefield.
The object of this undertaking is to connect the towns of Sheffield
and Rotherham, as the chief seat of the Iron trade of Yorkshire, with
the other principal towns of the West Riding ; and, in its course, to
open the important mineral fields of Silkstone and Barnsley, in
connexion, on the one hand, with the whole manufacturing districts
which surround it, and, on the other, with the eastern ports. The
lines are laid out in such a way as to accomplish this object in the
most effectual and economical manner, and to unite the interests of
all the principal towns with each other, and by the existing railway
communication to complete their connexion with every part of the
kingdom. The local support of the resident gentlemen connected
with the district insures that these objects shall be kept fully in view,
and will serve thereby, in an eminent degree, to secure the sanction
of Parliament to the undertaking.
The whole capital is already subscribed by substantial partier,, with
the exception of such portion as is reserved for landarnerS the
line, and persOns locally interested, •
