This railway is proposed to be made with a view to its forming a
junction in the most important part of South Wales with three other
projected lines, viz., the South Wales, the Welsh Midland, and the
North and South Wales, whereby communication will be formed with
NortliWales and Ireland, London, Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, Mr-
minf„,dfam, Manchester, Liverpool, and the whole of the northern
manufacturing districts, and also with the coasts of Devon and Corn-
wall, and will accommodate the following towns in the vicinity of the
line, Carmarthen, Llandilo, Llangaaock, Llandovery, Trecastle, Bre-
con, Hay, Creckhowel, Abergavenny, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea,
',Tenth, Lieu:4ller, Llanelly, Ridwelly, Laugharue, St. Clears, Narbeth,
Haverfordwest, Milford, Cardigan, Newcastle Emlyn, Pembroke, H.
M. Dockyard at Pater, and the fashionable watering-places of
Aberystwith, 'lenity, Lanstephan, and the ferry side.
Commencing at Burryport, Pembrey, Carmarthenshire, a har-
bour of recent formation, but unequalled in point of situation, depth
of water, and safe anchorage for ships by any other tidal harbour
on the whole of the Welsh coast ; the line will be carried close to
the village of Pembrey, iu a westward direction about one mile and
a half, where it • is intended to cross the South Wales Railway, from
here, taking a course to the north, it will proceed through the
Gwendraeth Vale, passing the villages of Pofttyates, Ponthenry,
Llangendeirne, Pontyberem, Porthyrhyd, Llanddarog to Llanarth-
ney, near to which place it is intended to intersect the line of the
Welsh 31 idlaml at a point about six miles from Llandillo and nine
from Carmarthen, and on from this point up the vale of Cothi,
passing the villages of Llanegwad, Brechfa, Abergorlech, Edwin;-
ford, and Llansawel to Lampeter, where it will form a junction
with the Yorth and South Wales Railway, and completing a dis-
tance, including branches, of about fifty-four miles.
It is intended to connect the line with the coal, marble, and mine-
ral districts. The line presents no engineering difficulties, and the
country through which it passes abounds with the materials neces-
sary for its construction.
Should it become necessary, arrangements will be made for the con-
tinuation of the line from near Edwinsford to Rhayader, and to form
a junction with other projected railways.
This railway will procee.l for the first 20 miles through a most im-
portant mineral district, abounding with bituminous anthracite and
steam-coals, iron, fire-clay, limestone, black marble, slate, flagstone,
copper, and lead ores, and the remainder of the distance across an
agricultural country, thus connecting these several districts with the
sea and with each other.
It is quite obvious that great benefit must also result to the land-
owners by the construction of this railway, in insuring the cheap de-
livery of coal and lime, both essential to the welfare of the farmer.
Thousands of acres of convertible land are now lying barren for
want of the means of procuring lime as manure at a moderate cost,
which is scarcely to be obtained from the heavy charge for transit, in
common carts, over bad roads.
The traffic in coals, lime, slate, copper, and lead ore, timber, cattle,
and every description of live stock and agricultural produce, which
already exists to a large extent, must receive great impulse from the
convenience and economy of this line of railway
The great interchange of commodities between the manufacturing,
the miring, and the agricultural districts, will ensure a large revenue,
independently of passenger inutile., which must necessarily be of great
extent, the line forming a connecting link between many main Hugs,
coraununicating with every part of the United Kingdom. It is esti-
mated that even the present traffic of the Gwendracth Vale alone in-
`oal and lime is of itself sufficient to pay a fair per centage on the
capital required for this railway, leaving out all the other sources of
profit.
The value of the land generally required for the line is within the
average cost.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company will be ,under the control of the Committee of Manage-
ment, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and to apply the
lands of the Comp any in payment of the expenses incurred in its for-
mation and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be sub-
mitted to Parliament.
Preference will be given in the allotment of shares to the landed
proprietors and oilers locall3 Interested is the line.
Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Committee of Management—to raise an addi-
tional capital, 0 abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines,
or enter into err ungements with any other Company or Companies ,
and also to.nomi late the first directors of the Company.
The deeds w.ll provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit until the Act of Parliament Is obtained„
and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per cent. Interest on
all calls.
The Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will be

PROSPECTUS.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Blisvorth Statiou of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it win communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west-
ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-en-Avon, there joining the proposed lies from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Aleester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line doe,:
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operationVill
be ensured for obtaining the line now propos, d.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
rester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pr.-
ceed to Worcester.

Vv
Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, .r to vary the line.

lowing Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line.

The Southern Junction Railway is intended to form a communica-
tion between the Great Western Railway at Slough, and the South-
Eastern at Reigate.
All
It will afford the most easy access through the medium of the
principalEeadi iitatiedrmenedheiaa.d,
te
Great Western Railway to tile inhabitilintsthoef
Windsor, Staines, Kingston, Epsom, a
towns, to Dover, Brighton, Hastings, and the other watering-places
on the coast of Kent and Sussex.
Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, and the manu-
facturing districts in the West of England will thus obtain a more
direct, less tedious and expensive commurdeation with the Continent
than by the way of London.
The length of line as proposed be twenty-seven miles ; and,
after a careful examination, no engineering difficulty presents itself,
as it runs for more than half the distance on a level, and traverses a
country that must be greatly -oenefited by this project.
The Company will be I", 'a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enahli•-.4 them to apply for an Act in the ensuing
session.
The shortn• ss of the line, and the quantity of passenger and Mer-
cantile trae.-.ae that the line will command, leaves no doubt of an
ampleA re.:arrn for the investment of capital.
