station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as • the Committee, unless accompanied by a reference to one or more
possible to I I olyhead of the Provisional Committee, Solicitors, or the Engiaeers :
In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns : London—Messrs. John shewell and Son, 25, Tokenhause
—llickmansworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbury; it will then " Messrs. J. Peppercorns and Co., 2, Old Broad-street.
proceed to within a short distance of Bicester and Deddington, and • Liverpool—Messrs. Boultt and Co.
from thence to Banbury ;it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, Manchester—Messrs. Houghland and Leese
thence proceed onward to Strat'ord-on-Avon, approach within a Leeds—Messrs John Young and Co.
short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will ; Bristol Luke Arnold, Esq. ; Messrs. Taite and Nash
cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Bromsgrove, Birmingham—Mr. Collis
and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, and Wenlock, Sheffield—Messrs. Bardwell and Sons.
near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the
Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury; it will thence con-
tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale
of the River Vyrnwy, will proceed to Llan-y-myneeh, Llanrhaladr,
and M tchnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollex.
At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and
it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage
into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by
Corwen into the,Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run
nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Peutre-
voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francon
to Bangor and Holyhead.
This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most conch-
siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great
Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol ; the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and
the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect
Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the
Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would
be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring-
ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and
other traffic, and' the Vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire
into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and
quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the
furnaces of Staffordshire, and the 'markets of Dublin, London, and
Birmingham. The success_ of the undertaking is secured beyond a
doubt, by the obvious fact that it will • not only bring the richest
mineral and manufatturing portions of 'England much nearer to the
two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro-
duce of these districts the internlediate country not at present pos-
sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other
hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will
give to London 'and 'the' neighbourhood or Birmingham a route to
Dublin shorter by nearly seventy milesthan that of any other exist-
ing railroad ; and finally; enable travellers to' complete the entire
distance in ten hours: " •
It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day.
Up to the point where the line approaches Corwon, no engineering
difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight
'line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line
• will, be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will
be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de-
sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent
line by Beaumaris to Holyhead.
After a careful Investigation of the traffic arising from passengers,
the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct
transmission of the mails, the Directors fed warranted in anticipating
a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested.
A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run
powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston
on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may
be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter-
mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance
in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing
from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The
railways now in active prlresa in .Ireland, running from Dublin
north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self-
evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries
is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete
and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of
this Company is to save timOand distance, every attention of
the Directors, and every advancement in science wilt be made
available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com-
patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ;
while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both
passengers and traffic, and the pnblic will find in the improvement of
the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the
first (lass, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail-
way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all
its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise se national in its
character.
Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company
early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act
to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per asnum on the amount of the
subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not
beyond the amount of his subscription.
Applications for Shares may be made, in the subjoined form, to
the following Solicitors, Brokers, and Agents : —Messrs. Cameron
and Bains, 18, Parliament-street, London ; Mr. Roger Mortimer,
Throgmorton-street, London; B. R. Pemberton, Esq., Atherton-

RAILWAY COMPANY.
Capital, 1,000,0001., in 50,000 Shares of 201. *itch.
Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share.
(Provisionally Registered.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance frem 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 in 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 descriptism for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although
inflammable, indeed so pm-eminently is the superiority of this de-
scription' of coat 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 handsetse 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 Tallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pm.
ductions.
• 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 populatioa of the rich vales
of Ely; and Rhondda a much desired conamunication with the great
market town and port of Cardiff, front whence, at present, they may
be said to he almost excluded.
Ws intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the
:-bead of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass
betwebn the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed dows further distanee 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.

PROSPECTUS.
This line is designed to open a direct communication between the
towns of Birmingham and Boston.
The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populous
town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of
the kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the
eastern coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to it by
geographical position, need but be mentioned to be appreciated.
The name of Birmingham speaks for itself ; the capacity and value
of Boston, as a commercial port, is dally,lncreasing, and requires but
little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports.
It is proposed that this ling should commence at Leicester, where it
will form a continuation_ of the line from Birmingham to that town,
and proceeding by. or near Melton Mowbray, Corby, Folkingham, anti
Donnington, terminate at Bostoa, thus affording a direct comma
cation between Birmingham and Its important manufacturing dis-
tricts, Rugby, the great railway centre of England, and Boston, their
nearest seaport, which eventually must command the traffic of the
districts with which it is in connexion, and the opposite ports of the
Continent.
The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest of
foar per cent. per annum, after passing the Act, on the amount of
the subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for
more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and
then not beyond the amount of his subscription.
A more detailed prospectus will be issued in a few days, containini
the names of many influential gentlemen locally interested in the
proposed line.
A more detailed prospectus will be issued in a few days, containing

posed line.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT—Cadwallader F. Waddy, Estl•
SECRETARY—CharIes Martin, Esq.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a
line in continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at
Reigate.
whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of the
south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the
several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and
Bristol ; and, by means of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway. with
Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and
the north of England.
From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will alwaYS
be the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditlot
communication therefore between that and the other ports, harbour,
and hiland,towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily bt regard"'
as a great national advantage.
Dover is at present the chief port of embarkation for Cal
Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and tile vast nurnberg
already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be in
measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, lin
land, and Germany are fully brought into operation,
In addition to which, the Government Commissioners Raving
selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlar
there • of 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the
greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the cool"
try, avid perhaps the most important town on the southern coast.
In every point of view, therefore, whether for national securitY,. or
for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping
and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, mere conve-
nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and
parts of ttle kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the
moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railwgei
which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing the
chain of railway communication Limn the narrow gauge between
south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and in
land counties. Bag-
The line will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern in,
way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godalming, Farnt?
and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western na_t_
way. It will I hen proceed by Andover towards Devizes, T
bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its olf,,
through the Somersetshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towa,,
Radstock into the heart of the collieries,terminate in a junction
. _

the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. A Odl-
By its course through Dorking, Godahning, Farnham, an— b.,
ham, it will supply the railway accommodation so much required
those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts of Stall%
tb.
Kent, and Sduth Hants, and afford the means of conveyance
produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill.
By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, 11°,1,
Reigate Railway," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxfor_
tethWe
and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest
the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and f
other watering-places in Sussex and Kent ; and a vast increase.°r
visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the iute.r:fh
of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling wr.,.
will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from 14eaclt.
By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingst7e;
and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway Alriletb
west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, ...
Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, 45-A.."
Gosport, and Portsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltena3;
Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool,' I‘ ao
0
with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and in fact with the '1
of North and South Wales.
At Basingstoke, also, this lino wall join the proposed London,
bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the so find
eastern counties the populous and wealthy cities of SalisburY rot,
Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Son.h'
and Devon, the p ,rts of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth,

the mineral gions of Cornwall.
To Devizes,re Trowbridge,- Bradford, and Bath, and the other towinfel
in the vicinity of its course, the benefit which this line c°,,,,t
cianot be too highly estimated ; to the coal districts of Some dto
shire it will open large and constant markets both in Bristol anon,
the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol espeeiallY' nro-
necting its channel with the Straits of Dover and the Downs, r, to
'riding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, and securinband
them the whole of the trade between the south-east of Englanapoor
the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the
ae s
mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to coney
project more deserving of their cordial support. tW6
