The vales of the Ogwr (or Ogmore) Farr and Ogwr Fach, and
of the Garw, lying near and nearly parallel to each other, abound
in minerals of-the most valuable description, but owing to their
secluded situation, and, above all, to the want of a cheap and easy
communication with the sea, have een 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
connecting 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 Bristol Channel, will be effected.
'no length of the main line will he about 18 miles, mid the branches
up the three valhe s 6, making in the wide about 34 miles.
The branches. will commence from ttlaenogwr. In the vale of Ogwr
Fawr, from Blaenogwr, .n that of the Carw, front Illacnogwr, in the
vale of the Ogwr Fach.,,i,d will concentrate at Bryn Condit ; from
thence the main line !brined by thisjunction will pass by Llanharren,
and join the South Wales Railway near the port of Cardiff.
The whole district country thr 110.1 the lines will pass has
already been surveyed la highly competent parties, and affords gra-
dients and levels •of MA, most favourable kind. No heavy cutting,
expensive bridges, or eufiaankm nts, sill be required, so that the
cheap execution of the pkoposed lines is perfectly certain. There us
on the spot abundance cir stone and other materials for the proper
execution of the works: The project Is supported by powerful local
interests; and all the landowners who have yet been consulted have
given their sanction and approval.
The rising town of Bridgenl and its neighbourhood will
be greatly belle .ted by the completion of this undertaking, and a
cheap and ready market he afforded for their manufacturing and
agricultural produce. It is intended to form a junction with the
Stull' Wales Railway near this town.
The vales present sites far 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-
.purty 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 She 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
Compan shall he under the control of a Managing Committee, to
whom power will be given to al!ot the shares, and to apply the funds
of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma-
tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be 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 line, to make branch lines,
or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise,
will, any oth, r Company or Companies; and power is hereby given
