TIM railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and
Heretbrd and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Ross, proceed-
ing through A rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway ac-
commodation, to Abergavenny, and from thence by Llanelly, Nant-
y-010 Tredegar, Ebbs Vale, Rumney, and Dowlais, to Merthyr
Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Vale Railway. The dis-
tance will not exceed forty miles.
On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunction
with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction Railway, via
Ledbury, Malvern, acd Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct
communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir-
mingham, South Staffordshire, and the north.
The population of Merthyr, and the surrounding mineral districts,
exceeds 120,000, and this line will place it in direct connexion with
the agrieultaral counties of Monmouth, Hereford, and Worcester.
The line will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommodation
to the principal ironworks in the district through which it will pass,
and a saving of ten miles over any other linewill be effected between
Merthyr and Worcester, and other places north and east of that city.
Arrangements are in progress with the Worcester and South
Wales Junction Railway Company, for the mutual advantage of both
Companies.
Applicants for shares, who are 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 banker or other persons of known respectability in London or
the town from which the application is made. A preference will be
given to the holders of scrip in the Worcester and South Wales Junc-
tion Railway.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at four
per cent. per annum on the amount of subscription paid up, and no
subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit
until the Act Is obtained, and then not beyond his subscription.
Detailed prospectuses, with the names of a powerful local Provi-
sional Committee, will shortly be published, aid may be obtained of
the Solicitors and Local Agents, and of the following Sharebrokers :
Messrs. Ashton and Scott, Thregmorton-street, London; John San-
