The vales of the Ogwr (or Ogmore) Pa yr and Ogwr Each, and
Of the Garw, lying near, and nearly parallel to each other, abound
in minerals of the most valuable description, but owing to their
secludid situation, and, above all, to the want of a cheap and easy
communication with the sea, have eon hitherto wholly neglected
In order to supply this deficiency, and to open to the various
markets the vast resources which these valleys afford, the above
cot-electing lines of railway have been projected, and by them com-
munication with the port of Cardiff, Port Talbot, Porthcawl, and
every other port in the Briitol Channel, will be effected.
The length of the main ling will be about 18 miles, and the branches
up the three valleys 16, making in the whale about 34 miles.
The branches will commence from Blaenogwr, in the vela of Ogwr
yaw • from Blaenogwr, in that of the Garw, from Blaenogwr, in the
vale Of the Ogwr Fach, and will concentrate at Bryn thinCn ; from
thence the main line formed by this junction will pass by hare
and join the South Wales Railway near t.) the port of Cardiff.
The whole district of country thrAigit which the lines will pass has
already been surveyed by highly competent parties, and affords gra-
dients and levels of the most favourable kind. No heavy cutting,,
expensive bridges, or embankments, will be required, so that the
cheap execution of the proposed lines is perfectly certain. There is
on the spot abundance et ---,eine and other materials for the proper
execution of the works. The project Is supported by powertitl local
interests, and all the landowners who have yet been consulted have
given their sanction and approval.
The rising town of Bridgend and its neighbourhood will
be greatly benefited by the completion of this undertaking, and a
cheap and ready market be afforded for their manufacturing and
agricultural produce. It is intended to form a junction with the
Sautli Wales Railway near this town.
The vales present sites for ironworks; and the establishment of
colleries on a large scale will immediately succeed the formation of
the road. Twenty-five miles of the line will pass through pro-
perty abounding in coal, ironstone, blackband, and limestone, all
which products have not at present the means of transit to any mar-
ket whatever.
It is confidently anticipated that the investments in this under-
taking will give a handsome return to the shareholders.
No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub-
scription.
'Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of a Managing Committee, to
whom power will be given to allot the shares, and to apply the funds
of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma-
tiois, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to he submitted
to Parliament.
-Power will be applied for in the Act to raise any additional capi-
tal, to extend or abandon any part of the tine, to make branch lines,
or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise,
with any nth, r Company or Companies ; and power is hereby given
to the registered promoters to nominate the Managing Committee
of the Company..
In the al otment of shares'a preference will be given to landowners
on the line, and to other parties locally interested.

PROSPCTUS.
The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are
1. The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and rho
metropolis.
2. The supply of local railway accommodation to the Important
districts embraced by the line.
3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis ex-
tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 50 miles
in length at present unprovided with that accommodation.
4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between
Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western
counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river
Humber, and its ports, including that of Hull.
5. The connecting of the two important ports of Hull and South-
ampton by one continuous chaet of railways.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten-
ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that
town from the west, from Worcester and from Warwick, the
line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering,
by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway
between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro-
ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of Uppingham,
Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but also to the north.
From Lincoln the line will proceed byithe shortest and best practi-
cable course to Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated.
They are,—
Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of
the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces-
ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the gouthe: n and Western
districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very im-
portant and increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and
the intermediate towns.
In the, event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining the'r Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before-
mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me-
tropolis, will pass along this line of railway; the former the whole
distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about
twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not
succeed, such traffic will proceed further to Kettering or Northampton.
The entice district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham
and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda-
tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of
railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west belt
also to London.
At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London which shall he successful before Parliament.
From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking
presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro-
visional Directors do not think It necessary; with reference to the
supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be-
lieve that the return will be, upon the capital require 1, highly re-
munerative.
The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very
favourable gradients of by flu the creator portion of the line ; indeed,
for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the
active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia-
ment in the ensuing session.
No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act
is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament,
to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on all calls from
the date of their payment, and to limit the liability of each share-
holder to the amount of his subscription.
1 The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking,.
The promoters reserve pow.e• to alter and vary the route, to ex-
tend the proposed line of railway to Great lrimsby or elsewhere,
and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad •
visable.
Prospectuses and Plans may he obtained. on application to any of
the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol-
lowing Brokers, viz.:—Messrs. Peppercorns and Co., 2, Old Broad-
. street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; or Messrs

its anch rage, and the security of the har,our, which h tyelonz main-

thl improved state of its land communications, the same distinction
as a commercial port.

be brought within six hours' journey of the metropolis. The distance
of the port from P.irminzhatn is somewhat less than from London ;
and the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and its extensions eastward and
northward, afford a ready communication with the manufacturing
districts of the north ; whilst, locally, the Projected Tavistock, Laun-
ceston, and North Devon Railways, will effect an immediate con-
nexion with the whole of the North and Central Devon and the

ports in the Bristol Channel.
The advantage to passengers of embarking at a port from which
they can proceed directly to sea in almost any state of wind, and of
being landed almost at the entrance of the Channel, can scarcely be
over-estimated, and the saving of expense to the shipowner in both
cases is at once apparent.
A reference to the records at Lloyd's will show the numerous
,
casualties which annually occur to shipping between Plymouth and
the Thames, all which would be avoided by adopting Plymouth as
PmPehricghpaonrtts attest the importance
which attach to the saving of
the port of loading or discharging.

effect an accelerated communication between the manufacturing' dis-
trictsotfh ema

i ofm ir fewno distance, in the transit of
Plymouth,
its unequalled commercial
ant maritime faeilities, the entire navigation of the Eivdish and
Irish Channels, with their well-known detentions and casualties, will
be avoided.
These considerations are peculiarly important as respects those
branches of trade in which the utmost acceleration of the voyage is
often essential to the pre-ervation of the c irg.o, or its advantageous
sale. From communications which have been had with commercial
houses in London engage 1 in the fruit and the Levant and Mediter-
ranean trades, it appears ce-tain that a large proportion of their im-
ports will, on the completion of the South Devon lines, be landed at
Plymouth, and conveyed by railway to all parts of England.
The military defences of the harbour are now being strengthened
by additional fortifications;- and in the event of war, Plymouth
would obviously receive an immense influx of shipping of all descrip-
tions.
There are no port charges, and the rates of pilotage and lights are
very low, the latter being only 2,1. per ton. The port possesses every
facility for the most extensive repairs which mw be required by
shipping. Provisions of every description are cheap, and the mar-
kets abundantly supplied.
From it very advanced position in the Channel, and the extent
to which Flymouth possesses all the requirements of. a public mail-
packet station, its large Government establishments, its dockyard
and arsenal, and as the station of naval nd military commanders-in-
chief, it can hardly be doubted that this port will, when the railway
communication with Bristol and London is complete, become the
resort of the vessels of the great Steam-Packet Companies, conveying
the Peninsular, Mediterranean, East and West India, and other
colonial mails.

William White, Esq., Director of the Direct London and Manchester

The internal growth and development of the pnnulation and trade
of the port are indleative of a high degree of prosperity. The popu-
lation of Plymouth has nearly 4oMded within the last twenty years ;
and the increase in the assessable value of property subject to the
local rates has exceeded that ratio. New streets and buidings are
rapidly extending in every direction ; and numerous joint-stock and
private trading and manueacturing companies have been recently
formed, and are in successful operation. The trade of the port for the
year 1844 is given by an official return as follows :—lnwards, 3,339
vessels ; goods, 450,626 tons ; outwards, 2,124 ves,els ; goods,
327,815 tons.
The shipping belonging to the port is increasing in numbers and
tonnage ; and communication is almost daily going on between Ply-
mouth and London, Southampton, Portsmouth, TorquaY, Dartmouth;
Falmouth, the Channel Islands and France, Cork, Dublin, and Bel-
fast, by different steam-packet companies. -
To meet the requirements of a trade and commerce thus advancing,
and to secure all the advantages which the port of Plymouth so pecu-
liarly presents, it is proposed to provide a capacious wet doe'r, with
extensive ranges of wharfage, warehouses, Sec., far which Millbay, by
its position, peculiar formation, and general circumstances, presents
extraordinary advantages.
Millbay occupies a position perfectly central to the three towns of
Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehouse, and is i i immediate proximity
to tike terminus of the South Devon Railway. Sheltered from the
prevailing southerly winds by the Millbay Pier, the Breakwater, and
Drake's Island, it inclo-ses an area of upwards of eighty acres, half of
which is excellent anchorage in from one to ten fathoms' water, at
the lowest state of tide. From the peculiar form and singularly shel-
tered position of the bay, it constitutes a safe dock, almost in its
natural state, and is capable, with works of very moderate extent, of
being converted into an extensive floating basin, with every suitable
accessary. The entrance lock admits of being for ned so as to take
in, even at low water of the spring tides, vessels of the largest class,
drawing sixteen feet of water; and the depth of water within the
basin will be upwards of twenty-two feet.
The basin is designed to he upwards of twenty, acres in extent ;
and outside the basin, but within the shelter of the existing pier, a
considerable space will be appropriated to the reception of steamers
and other vessels touching at the port, and not requiring to enter the
deck.
Thelfillbay branch of the South Devon Railway i: designed to ex-
tend along the sides of the dock, so that the embarkation and landing
and removal of goods, can be conducted without the expense of cart-
age,
and with the greatest facility.
The property on the shores of the hay is in the hands of a very
limited number of proprietors, and the interference with buildings or
other valuable property, which is ordinarily a source of heavy ex-
pense in undertakings of ;,his nature, will be very Inconsiderable.
The considerations already Meet tea to are sufficient to establish
the remunerative character of the undertaking, and these views will
derive additional force from considering the Identity of interests
between a committee formed for the purpose of this undertaking,
and the powerful combination of railway interests which have been
so successfully engaged in promoting the South Devon line, and to
whom the increase of traffic with the port is manifestly of the
greatest importance.
An Act of Incorporation will be applied for in the ensuing session
of Parliament, for which every arrangement is in nrogress. Powers
will be sought by this Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. on the
deposit and all paid-up calls until the opening or the (lock, and no
subscriber will incur liability beyond the amount of his subscription.

actor of the East and
i Wales Railways

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the 'Midland Counties
and Trent Valley Railways, and the point to which several other
projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury-,
and Cbelten!'am, to Gloucester. The length of the line will kr.
about 55 mile 3. . .

The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure
a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re-
munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing
and proposed railway s, it will form a complete chain railway com-
munication betw,•en thr whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties of En;land, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not-
tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and null,
into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, titre richly-productive and far-famed
Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Falmouth, and those of South Wales.

The inhabltants and visitors of the much-frequented watering-
pjacea of Leamington and Cheltenham will thus obtain a direct line
between those reaorts, Instead of the present circuitous route through
Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which
has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the utmost fa-
cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by
the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspeara, annually
res art to Stratford-on-Avon.

To those passengers from the east and no;th-east, direct to
Gloucester, the line frOm Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a
great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles,
besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham.
ha Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line
from that place to Malvern, alfonling the most direct communication
to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating
atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills.
_

To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes-
bury this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan-
tageous : situated within ten miles of the iin;lortant city and port' of
Gloucester, they !rive nevertheless to travel by the present -ailway
route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has
already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the •ntere is of
the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove
this great incon . entznce, and restore its trade to its former state of
prosperity.
The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot
be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to it immen,e
sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance betweea it
and Birmingham, Wolverhaml on, and South Staff rdthirv, making
Gloucester Mill naire securely the nearest An] most :wee: sible outlet
for the whole of that itn7nensely predictive maautacturimt re4ion,
and it is impossible to couceive any project better calculated to
advance the interests of Glolue4ter, than one capable 'of effecting
that object.

Ths line will also form an important junction between the London
and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and
Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the
former, and of all the north -eastern railways to the proposed Man-
chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham; and the through
traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great.
It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern
and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ;
of affording the most direct an.; convenient access from the north
and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of oiaming
new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon
and Severs, and the asp icultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor•
cestershire, in the manufacturiag towns and ports of the north.
'e'he line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through
nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The
towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country
of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be
very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line
