Jonti EVAIZS, Esq., of Dowlais, and resolved—

That the thanks of this meeting are due, and be given, to the depu-
tation of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company for
their attendance here to-day, and to Mr. Ward in particular, for his
very able statement of the views and intentions of that Company ;
and that it is the opinion of this meeting, the Great Eastern and
Western Railway Company, as the first to project and prove the
practicability of direct communication between Merthyr and Here-
ford. deserves the support of the mineral districts of South Wales.

NOTICE.
SOUTHAMPTON and GREAT WESTERN
JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Provisional Committee having entered inte negotiations with
the principal companies whose interests are identified with this pro-
ject, and whose support they were led to expect, thought it desirable
to delay the completion of the surveys whilst these negotiations were
pending. Haying failed, however, to bring them to a satisfactory con-
clusion, and being also disappointed in obtaining the efficient assistance
of the engineers opt whose services they had relied, the Committee
have most reluctantly come to the conclusion, looking to the import-
ance of the line, and the extreme care as to surveys and plans pro-
perly required by‘the standing orders of Parliament, that it is expe-
dient to postpone the further prosecution of this project until the
following session, rather than to endanger its success by errors which
must be incident to too hasty an attempt at preparation. The Com-
mittee have only arrived at the determination thus announced after
mature deliberation and with much regret, when they reflect upon
the very flattering and substantial expressions of support received
from parties locally interested, as well as from the puldic generally.
Entertaining, however, as they do in cosunon with others of no
'lvan authority, a firm conviction that this scheme mutt eventually
receive the sanction of the Legislature, the Committee will not relax
their exertions, believing that the step they are now taking will not
tend to diminish the confidence of those who have so kindly inte-
rested themselves in its success.

Ste-

The vales of the Ogwr (or Ogrnore) Fawr and Ogwr Fach, and
of the Garw, lying near and nearly parallel to each other, abound
in minerals of the most valuable description, but owing to their
secluded situation, and, above all, to the want of a cheap and easy
communication with the sea, have teen hitherto wholly neglected.
In order to supply this deficiency, and to open to the various
markets the vast resources which these valleys afford, the above
connecting lines of railway have been projected, and by them com-
munication with the port of Cardiff, Port Talbot, Porthcawl, and
every other port in the Bristol Channel, will be effected.
The length of the main line will be about 18 miles, and the branches
up the three valleys 16, making in the whole about 34 miles.
The branches will commence from hllaenogwr, in the vale of Ogwr
Fawr, from Blaenogwr, in that of the Garw, from Blaenogwr, In the
vale of the Ogwr Filch, said will concentrate at Bryn Cethin ; from
thence the main line formed by thisjunction!will pass by Llanharren,
and join the South Wales Railway near to the port of Cardiff.
The whole district ef country through which the lines will pass has
already been surveyed by highly competent parties, and affords gra-
dients and levels of the most favourable kind. Ne heavy cutting,
expensive bridges, or embankments, will be required, so that the
cheap execution of the proposed lines is perfectly certain. There Is
on the spot alaandancie of stone and other materials for the proper
execution of the works. The project is supported by powerful local
interests, and all the landowners who have yet been consulted have
given their sanction and approval.
The rising town of Bridgend and its neighbourhood will
be greatly benefited by the completion of this undertaking, and a
cheap and ready market he afforded for their manufacturing and
agricultural produce. It is intended to form a junction with the
Se nth Wales Railway near this town.
The vales present sites for ironworks; and the establishment of
eellerfes on a large scale will Immediately succeed the formation of
the road. Twenty-five miles of the line will pass through pro-
, p^rty abounding in coal, ironstone, blackband, and limestone, all
which products have not at present the means of transit to any mar-
ket whatever.
It is confidently anticipated that the investments in this under-
taking will give a handsome retinal to the shareholders.
No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub-
scription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of a Managing Committee, to
whom power will be given to allot the shares, and to apply the Mnds
of the 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 to raise any additional capi-
tal, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines,
or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise,
with any othc r Company or Companies ; and power is hereby given
aging Committee
to the registered promoters to nominate the Man

of the Company.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to landowners
on the line, and to other parties locally interested.
-Prospectuses and maps may be had of, and applications for shares
may be addressed, in the form annexed, to W. D. James, Esq. soli-
citor, 5, Basinghall-street, London, at the temporary Offices of the

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail-
way to conneot the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways,
by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with
Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton.
It is,contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail-
way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river
by a steam floating.bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham,
Soodland, Mailing, and Iladlow to Tunbridge, thence by the South.
Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uektield to Lewes,
and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, nd Hastings Railway to
Rrightoe.
An inspection of the map will clearly show the great Import.
ance of this railway, whether considered in a loeal er national
point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com-
munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it
passes.
It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of
the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by
way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in con-
junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the
shortest possible route to Paris and the Medivrranean.
By this railway the large population of the Borth Eastern Coun.
tios, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy
communication with the whole of the populous and important
counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and
thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected
!Mee north and south of the metropolis.
The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both In
times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is
evident.

With the existing railways, and those new in progress in Kent
and Sussex, a most complete system of local communieation will be
efected ; and as such, the project has been received with the most
distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal
proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have
promised their entire sancti an to, and will cordially support it.
Time ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present
no difficulties to the formation •t a good working line.
The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf-
Ssient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large
accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the
increased accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering
the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive
lines of railway in that part of the country.

The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches
from Snodland to Chatham and Illaideone.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of
Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be
applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent, per annum en
all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Appliettions for prospectuses and also for shares may be
addressed in the annexed form to the Secretary, at the Offices of

In consequence of the great number of applications for shares
in this ,Company which are daily received from all parts of the
eounte9, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten-
tion o s the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most
strictly to adhere:—
As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely,
Bly and Huntingdon. and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies,
a large proportion of the capital has been, appropriated to the holders
of shares In those Companies, a very limited number of shares only
Is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shares therefore can be attended to, except from parties locally in-
terested and of the highest respectability.
