This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and
Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at loss, pro-
ceeding thrOugh a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway
accommodation. to Ahergavenny, and from thence by Llanelly,
Nant-y-Glo, Tredegar, Ebbw Vale, Rumney, and Dowlais to Merthyr
Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Vale Railway. The dis-
tance will not exceed 40 miles.
On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunc-
tion with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction, via
Ledbury, Malvern, and Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct
communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir-
mingham, South 4taffordshire, and the north.
It is unnecessary to enlarge the prospectus with details of passen-
ger and goods traffic, the elements of both in the district which this
line accommodates being well-known to be inexhaustible ; it may,
however, be stated that the population of Merthyr and its neighbour-
hood exceeds 120,000, that it is the tentre of a coal and mineral
field
1,200 square miles in extent, producing upwards of half a million of
tons of iron ore annually, anti 'wholly dependent for its supnlies upon
the agricultural counties Of I.Lonmouth, Hereford and Woreester.
The necessity for a line: of railway on the north of the iron works
affording a direct route to London and the North, is admitted by all
inteiTsted in or acquainted with this important district: this deside-
ratum will
.be supplied by the present project, and in conjunction
with the Taff Vale Railway it will also afford a means of communi-
cation with Cardiff, from which important shipping port a large por-
tion of the district hf s been hitherto shut out. _

The. Pile will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommo-
dation to the principal ironworks in the district through which it
will pass, and to afford them the shortest means of access to the
principal rnarkots of the kingdom.
Arra igements have been made with the Directors of the Worces-
ter and South Wales junction Railway Company, for the mutual ad-
vantage of both Companies.
Applicants for shares who arc personally known to members of
the Provisional Committee, are requested to refer to one of such
Committee ; all other applicants will be required to give a reference
to some bgliker, or other person of known respectability, in London,
or the tovrn from which the application is made.
Holders of scrip in the Worcester and South Wales Junction Rail-
'ay will be entitled to an equal number of shares in this Company,
upon making application in the usual form, and within a time to be
hereafter specified ; subject, however, in the cases of holders to whom
the shares were not originally allotted, to the approbation of the Pro-
visional Committee, and all such persons must therefore give a refe-
rence according to the form below.

The usita 'power win be taken by the Act to allow Interest at 4
percent. per annum on the amount of subscription paid up, and no
ijabscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de-
posit until the Act is obtained, a•ld then not beyond his sub-
scription.

PROSPECTUS,

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and form a connexion with lines already established
or projected with reasonable hopes of success.
It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor-
therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, Mayo,
and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis-
killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities aid
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Timm,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilaila, Swineford,
Streamstown, mid Sligo, which town being connected with the north,
east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London-
derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valcntia,
Tratee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
no other country in the world enjoys.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great
and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its
vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre-
sent mode of transit : secondly, by the exclusion of passenger
traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in
reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid
great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from
goods trains ; and the Select Committee of the House of Commons
on the coal trade recommend that every means of promoting a new
supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines for the
north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class,
travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour,
and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the
great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must
be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed,
that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals
and goods is out of the question. it, therefore, becomes
manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience,
and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts
with coals from the coal fields in the north, from which at present
the greater proportion is supplied, that an independent railway,
devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a
moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle
to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to
carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the
conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a
moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable
as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex.
perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe
ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844
being 1,4721. per mile; at the same rate per mile, 2,000,000 tons of
coal annually may be brought the entire distance from Newcastle •
this quantity is about one-half of the present Importation iron;
London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons
daily.

The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject
from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the
tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the
uncer.
estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From
the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total
darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular
supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of
household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between
14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355.
per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the
scarcity, and consequently increased prico of coal, is most distress-
ing to the poor.
The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con.
sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the
Thames safer for all other vessels: and it is no valid objection
to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure
the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be.
yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at
20 per cent less than those seaborne; and, therefore, London will
be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South
Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages
to the northern coaLowners, in their certain and fast approaching
competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect.
In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded
to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods,
which will materially increase the revenue of the Company.
The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in
coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent.
It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of
251. each ; deposit 2/. 125. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be
made in the usual way.

The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the
liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective
shares.

Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of the
railway, _ _ _

The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible parties
(desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure at least some
shares in this great undertaking, will permit the payment of a pre.
liminary deposit of 105. 6d. per share previous to application being
made; and will guarantee that the parties so paying, shall have
shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum
paid by them as a preliminary deposit, shall cover the full deposit
of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the right of
limiting this privilege to the exttnt of 100 shares, if a larger
number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases
where they may find, on inquiry that the applicant is not in their
judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit
will he immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended
beyond the disposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers of
the Company will receive instructions to refuse preliminary de-
posits. _ .
