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
r rojected lines, viz., the South Wales, the Welsh Midland, and the
North and South Wales, whereby communication will be formed with
North Wales and Ireland, London, Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, Bir-
mingham, 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, Weld:do, Llanganock, Llandovery, Trecastle, Bre-
con, Hay, Creckhowel, Abereavenny, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea,
Neath, Lloughor, Llanelly, Kidsv clly, Laugharne, St. Clears, Narbetb,
Haverfordwest, Milford, Cardigan, Newcastle Emlyn, Pembroke, H.
M. Dockyard at later, and the feshionable watering-places of
Aberystwith, Tenby, Lanstephan, and the terry side.
Commencing at Burryport, Pembrey, Carmarthenshire, a har-
bour of recent formation, but unequalled in point of situation, depth
of water, and sate 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, in 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 Poetyates, Pouthenry,
Llangendeirne, Pontyberem, Porthyrhyd, Llanddarog to Llanarth-
ney, near to which place it is intended to intersect the line of the
Welsh Midland at a point about six miles from Llandlllo 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 North 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 eon-
tinuation of the line from near Edwinsford tolthayader, and to form
a junction with other projected railways.
This railway will proceed 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 told 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 tanner.
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
conscience and economy of this line of railway
The great interchange of commodities between the manufacturing,
the mining, and the agricultural districts, will ensure a large revenue,
independently of passenger traffic, which must necessarily be of great
extent, the line forming a connecting link between many main IMes,
communicating with every part of the United Kingdom. It is esti-
mated that even the present traffic of the Gwendraeth Vale alone in
coal and lime is of itself sufficient to pay a fair per centaur° 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 ties
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
funds of the Company 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 others local''. Interested ha the line.
Power will he applied tor in the Act—and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Committee of 3lanagement—to raise an addi-
tional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch liner,
or enter into arrangements with any other Company or Companies ,
and also to nominate the first directors of the Company.
The deeds will pr 'vide that no cult shall be made on the
holders beyond the deeoeit until the Act of Parliament is OW, ed„
and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per cent. niters . on
all calls.
The Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will I
ready for signatare on payment of the deposes.
