This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda,
and Ely Wallies, 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 Ia 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 Aberdare, 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 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 promising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which L 9 cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of •btaining its pro-
&teflon. _ _

An- inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu-
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 and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may
be said to be almost excluded.
It is intended that the line shsll commence at Blaen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass
between the hills at Ifi-wd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further 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 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 anthdpated that the
works will be executed very considerably under 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 or
his subscription.
Until an .let of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Co,•pany shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to
whom power is given to allot the Shrift a, and to apply the thuds
of . he 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 he 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
bi—neh lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or
otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi-
nate the drat Directors of the Company.

In the allottment of Shares, a preference will bo given to
landowners of the line and other parties locally interested.

The proposed line will commence at thejnnction of the Manchester
and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wakefield,
and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway, at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that
Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parliament),
and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways,
will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk line, from
London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an
available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham,
East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray,
Oakham, and Stamford.

The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of
its comae (embracing, as it doe., a most extensive population within
its limits), as also trom the absence of any direct communication
for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise.
By the construction of this railway railway communication to
London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of
the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham,
(by the Nottingham and Lincoln linen, and to Sheffield and Gains-
borough, )by the Sheffield amid G.insberough line), by a much shorter
route than by any existing ruilwa s.

lis, which would be considerably shorter than filo accommodation
offered by any other company ; and when cost of construction is con-
sidered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given
to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway.
The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a
branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river
Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999
years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks,
which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with
wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of goods
from all parts of th 4 world can take place, is a most important fea-
ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing,
towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London
Direct Railway and, by branch railways to the main trunk line,
through which all goods from the manufacturing. districts could be
conveyed at once to these warehouses for shipment, thereby avoiding
the present delay and expense of cartage, and in reality establishing
an almost direct and invaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde
and Thames.
It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties,
that the w rks will be easy, and the gradients remarkably goad, and
that it will not materially interfere with any ornamental property.
The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of the r first
deposits, until an Ast of Parl mem is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions.
It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allow interest at a per
cent. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and also
to extend the line to Hertford on the Eastern Counties line, in the
l.einhtaarilid Tcooput.

The Committee of 3tanagen,ent of this Direct Railway beg to ex-
press regret at the delay iii issuing their Letters- of Allotment, which
has been solely occasioned through the unprecedented number of
applications for shares to which they lia,e been required to give
consideration, and which has thrown upon them some very exten.
sive labours, from which, however, they ore happy to say they will
shortly be relieved, as the Letters of Allotment are now in the course
of preparation, and will all be sent to their different destinations by
the evening post of to-morrow. The Committee also much regret
their inability to make allotments to a very numerous amount of
applicants of unexceptionable repute; but they have, in every in-
stance, endeavoured to arrive at their decisionstn a manner best cal-
culated to promote alike the interests of, the public and the various
shareholders and promoters of this very important project.

The Committee of Allotment has completed the task com-
mitted to them, and the Letters of Allotment will be posted this
evening. The Committee of Management regret that the number of
applications ibr shares (exceeding one million in amount) have made
It a very dillicult matter to arrange, and they trust that the
numerous and respectable claimants fur shares, which it wasmpos-
sible for the Allotment Committee to accommodate, will take this
into their consideration, and assign the failure of their request
to this reason solely.

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties
and Trent Valley Railways, and the paint to which several other-
projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury,
and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will ba
about 56 miles.
The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure
a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re-
munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing
and proposed railway s, it will form a complete chain of railway com-
munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties of England, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not-
tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull,
into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed
Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Fahnouth, and those of South Wales.
The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering-
places of Leamington and Cheltenham, will thus obtain a

The first of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham.
' Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route,
and to supply an important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midlawl
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding station of the
Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the lin 'l Norwich,
D erehal
wl
and
Proceed by Boum.
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wythanet, Wymondharn, to lb
point on the Syston and Peterborou ‘,h line of railway near Melton.. Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birminghamthe by proposed Coventry.
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be.
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur.
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shaspshire, and-North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notunnel.
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
' from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open.
ins out sources of trade undeveloped for want of tbe means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly, the want of direct
communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei.
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will oMain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock r.nd
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which Is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, zuad
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
. _

The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income
derivable irons the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co.
ventry, Leicester. Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the laud
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are row
in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en-
sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
A Provisional Committee of gentlemen in now in !course of for-
mation, and will be published, with the prospectuses and plan, on
Monday next. In the meantime, application for shares, in the sub-
joined form may be, addressed to the Secretary, at the offices of the
Company, 4, Trafalgar-square, Charing Cross.
