This line is the natural result of opening out, by an impor- tant 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 ki course of being opened, in the interior of South Wales, espe- cially in the country through which this line will pass, and which are now being extensively multiplied there, seek a more speedy and ready access to the main line, than existing modes supply, and 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 Rail- way, but with the ports of Neath and Swansea-the natural and legitimate outlets for the produce of the Valley whence the supplies 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 forth 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 revenue 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 supplies 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 pas- senger traffic, and that 200,000 tons of coal, exclusive of other minerals, are exported annually from the Vale of Neath, find- Ing a ready market in France, Ireland, Somersetshire, Devon- shire, 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, connected, as it will be, with Swansea and Briton Ferry (the Port of Neath), by means of the South Wales Railway, will produce a corresponding increase of production 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 pictu- resque and richly varied beauty of the Vale of Neath, with its famed water-falls, will be a source of never-failing 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 importance, as a profitable investment, may be judged from the fact, that the Neath Canal, which now tra- verses 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 £ 100. shares are now marketable at JE340. Prospectuses may be had, and applications for shares may be addressed, in the form annexed, to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, 449, West Strand, London; and to the Solici- tors in London, or Neath. In the allotment of the shares of the Company, a preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the proprietors of Shares in the South Wales Railway Company. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum, on the amount of subscriptions paid up and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit of £ 1.10s. per share, until the act is ob- tained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. London, July 26th, 184o. FORM OF APPLICATION. To the Provisional Committee of the Vale of Neath Railway. Gentlemen,—I request that you will allot me Shares of twenty pounds each in the proposed Vale of Neath Railway Company, on the terms and the conditions of the pros- pectus, and I undertake to pay the deposit and sign the neces- sary deeds when required.
