ENGINEER.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely *allies, 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 importtuit in South Wales, which is at
present without the moans of transit for its immense and Taluable
products.

It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of
Glamorgatishire, 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 hteam 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 other
less protnlsing Tallies In Wales than the Rhondda, which is ecle-
hrated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
ductions.

An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the menu-
Nature of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by
means of this Railway, mach nearer and cheaper than by any other
line.

This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich Tales
of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great
market town and port of Cardiff, front whence, at present, they may
be said to be almost excluded.

It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to 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 Lanclay-bridge, near Lantriesent, 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
British channel.

A preliminary surrey 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.

The landowners along the line are favourable to this undartakinz,
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 Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of the 3i:imaging Directors, to
whom power is glean to allot the Shares, and to apply thetur.da
°fills 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 flues, or enter into any arrangenients, 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 ho given to
landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.
Prospectuses and Maps may be had of, and applications for
Shares, may ha addressed in the form annexed to, W. It. James,
Esq., Solicitor, 5, Ba.singliall-street, London; to W. Morgiin, Ese.,
