mo hakbeen fur some time the object of her Majesty's Commis -
vateraOf Metropolitan Improvements to carry out the important
tion",*f an Embankment of the Thames, so as to improve the naviga-
pade a,n't, at the same time; provide a splendid drive and prome-
hrmg"C the Middlesex shore, from Whitehall-place to Blackfriars-
'lle attainment of these great objects has hitherto been impeded by
,Itrintls difficulties, and It is now proposed to obviate the most im-
portant of them, by the formation of a company to execute Mr.
;age's plan of the embankment, being that which was selected by ,_
Met-opolitan Commissioners, and to combine with it an Atmos-
pheric Railway-, from Hungerford-market, or its neighbourhood, to
the vicinity of London-bridge and the Rank, and from thence to the
Illackwall Railway, near Fenchurch•struet, with a branch across the
river, to join Ihe various railways terminating at the London-bridge-
stmt.,"

It is obvious that this great undertaking cannot be carried into
*free, t without the sanction of the Government and the City authori.

Cayebeen for some time in communication with the Metropolitan

reasonFau, to expect a favourable consideration.

from many influential parties anxious to promote

The
engineer ha's esti,' atted the works to be constructed, and, as far
eessible valued the properties that itwill be necessary to purchase, d "
ilon these data, he feels satisfied that the proposed capital may

Proviaional Directors have endeavoared. by the closest inves-
/;,..a,t1°,1, to come to some accurate result as to the traffic between the
tennlni ; hut this is one of those peculiar cases in which it
exeXceedingly difficult to form an estimate which may not appear
rcZgeraled, and they are, therefore, induced rather to submit the
edeZiog general calcidation. and to state that they feel quite con-
ren.,-„` that an ample return will be realised to afford a very good
abrdleratiye interest for the capital invested. Nobody can reason-
-1,431dt/111A this, when they see the multitudes that are continually

exile with the above-mentioned railways and their many projected

This line is the natural result of opening out, by an important
main trunk like the South Wales Railway, a country rich in
minerals, with a large and rapidly increasing population, both
of which have hitherto been but imperfectly supplied with the means
of transit.
The numerous mines, collieries, iron, copper, tin plate, fire brick,
chemical, and other works, already in operation and in course of
being opened, in the interior of South Wales, especially in the country
through which this line will pass, and which are now being exten-
sively multiplied there, seek a more speedy and ready access to
the main line than existing modes supply, nod hence the necessity
for* affording to the important valley between Neath and Merthyr
Tydvil the most perfect means of communication, not only with the
South Wales Railway, but with the ports of Neath and Swansea, the
natural and legitimate outlets for the produce of the valley ; whence
the simply.of flour and other provisions from Ireland can be cheaply
and expeditiously conveyed into the heart of the country.
The proposed line will commence at Neath by a junction with the
South Wales Railway, will continue up the Valley to near Pont
Walby, thence to Merthyr Tydvil, passing within a short distance of
the extensive iron works lying in that district. •
The advantage of the natural fall of country, being from Merthyr
to Neath, calls firth a strong opinion in the following extract from
the report of the Board of Trade on Railways in South Wales :
" By the
.proposed line (the South Wales) the principal towns and
commercial emporiums, which are situated along the coast at the
bottoM of the valleys, are placed upon the main line, to which the
traffic from the interior will descend—a consideration which is very
important when we recollect that a great part of this traffic will
consist of heavy minerals."
The Vale of Neath intersects the great coal and iron fields of South
Wales, and possesses anthracite, as well as bituminous coal, in great
abundance. In addition to the collieries and iron works, there are
also tin works adjoining the proposed line, and valuable timber, to
the extent of 4,000 acres.
It is unnecessary to give a detailed estimate of the probable re-
venue that will arise from the Vale of Neath Railway ; it is sufficient
to say, that, in the districts between and through which it will pass,
the population numbers above 80,000, depending chiefly on the sup-
plies now transmitted to the interior through Swansea and Neath;
that the intercourse between the above towns is such as to bear out
a most favourable estimate of passenger traffic; and that 209,000 tons
of coal, exclusive of other minerals, are exported annually from the
Vale of Neath, finding a ready market in France, Ireland, Somerset-
shire, Devonshire, Cornwall, London, and other places. From these
mere outlines it is evident that the increased facility of transit which
this Railway will afford over the present modes of conveyance, con-
nected as it will be with Swansea and lit iton Ferry (the port of
Neath) by means of the South Wales Railway, will produce a cor-
responding increase of yroduction and traffic. Under the latter head,
as regards passengers, may be taken into consideration the large
numbers that resort to Swansea from the interior for sea bathing, and
the strikingly picturesque and richly varied beauty of the Vale of
Neath, with Its famed waterfalls, will be a source of never-falling
attraction to tourists and parties of pleasure.
The most favourable opinion is entertained of the Vale of Neath
Railway by almost all the landed proprietors along the line, the
majority of whom are members of the Provisional Committee, the
lessees of collieries, and parties engaged in shipping; and its im-
portance as a profitable investment may be judged from the fact that
the Neath Canal, which now traverses only half the distance of the
proposed line, and affords, even to that limited extent, but imperfect
accommodation, has for many years paid a large dividend to the
proprietary, and the original 1001. shares are now marketable at
3401.
