This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and
Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Ross, pro-
ceeding through a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway
accommodation. to Abergavenny, and ttom 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 Staffordshire, 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, he stated that the population of Merthyr and its neighbour.
hood exceeds 120,000, that it is the centre of a coal and mineral field
1,209 square miles in extent, producing upwards of half a million of
tons of iron ore annually, and wholly dependent for its supplies upon
the agricultural counties of Monmouth, Hereford and Worcester.
The necessity for a line of railway on the north of the iron works
affording a direct route do London and the North, is admitted by all
interested 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 wall Cardiff, from which important shipping port a large por-
tion of the district has been hitherto shut out.
The line will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommo-
dation to the principal Ironworks in the district through which it
will pa=s, and to afford them the shortest means of access to the
principal markets 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 are personally known to members of
the Provisional Committee, are requested to refer on
to eof such
Committee ; all other applicants will be required to give a reference
to some banker, or other person of known respectability, in London,
or the town from which the application is made.
Holders of scrip in the Worcester and South Wales Junction Rail-
way 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 usua,jpower will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4
per cent. par annum on the amount of subscription paid up, and no
Subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de-
posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond his sub-
scription.
Prospectuses and plans may be obtained of the solicitors and local
agents, and of the following sharebrokers :—Messrs. Aston and
