This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a railway
in extension of the several important lines which it is intended shall
terminate at or near King's-cross, and the line will proceed from
thence to a point at or near Furnival's Inn and Rolborn Bars, where
it is proposed to erect a grest central metropolitan terminus. This
terminus will form the north front of a considerable portion of the
widest part of Holborn, betwsen Leather-lane and Gray's Inn-lane.
The site selected is obviously the most convenient for the colleen-
, tration of the trails of all the railways issuing from London, eitlnr
!, to the north or In a north-easterly or north-westerly direction.
The nitration, moreover, presents very great faciliths for exten-
sions, in the direction of the railways, to the east and to the south of
London.
The property necessary to be taken for the line and terminus is
not of a valuable character, and there will be no interference with
any existing buildings of any consequence.
The surveys are in a state of forwardness, and will be ready to
enable the Company to proceed to Parliament next session.
Tile capital has been fixed at 800,000/., but the estimates hitherto
received lead the Committee to expect that a smaller sum may
suffice.
A preference in the allotment of shares will be given to scrip-
holders in the Direct Northern Railway, but this Company is esta-
blished as a separate undertaking.
Applications for shares may be addressed in the meantime to the
Solicitors, in the following form :

This Railway is projected fur the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vales, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance fieat 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
Giainorganst, where Iron-stone also abounds with the coal lx im-
mense? ilttantlsiefi, any laving, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and,
obtainable, for the most-pan, '-Cr proper levels. The coal in addition
tO lit beifit of excellent quality
thyr and Abef dart, la also, '
:e distriets,
for ii..:ss _
like that of tok making, as is proved at Ker-
of the very
best description for steam purposes, being nearly 51,:2kelees, although
;
Inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently Is the superiont; of this de-
scription of coal established for steam purposes over any ether,
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 hare been constructed to open the mineral resources of other
less promising wallies hi Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
ductions.

An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the mann-
factUre of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by
means of this Railway, mush nearer and cheaper than by any other
linC,

This line Will tiffotcl to the increasing population of the rich •ales
of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great
market town and port of Cardiff, from /rheum, at present, they may
be said to be almost excluded.
It is intended that the line shall commence at Blacn Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass
between the hills at Fttwd 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 RatlYray, thus opening a communication under the most
advantageous circumstsulces as to distance, with all the porta in the
Bristol channel. _ _ . .

A preliminary survey has already bun made by competent par-
ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favouraMe
gradients, so Much ro that it is confidently anticipated that the
works will be executed very coasUerably 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 of
his subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Cowaily shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to
whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds
of ills Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma-
tion, and In the preparatien of the plans and sections to be submitted
to Parliament.
Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is
kereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi-
tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make
brariell lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or
otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi-
nate the first Directors of the Company.
In the allottment of Shares, a preference will he given to
landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.
Prospectuses and Maps may be had of, and applications for
Shares may be addressed in the form annexed to, W. B. James,
Esq., Solicitor, 5, Basinghall-street, London; to W. Morgan, Esq.,
Solicitor, Bridgend, Glamorganshire ; and to the undermentioned
Brokers ; but no application for Shares will receive the attention of
the Committee, unless accompanied by a reference to one or more
