The West of Ireland Land Investment Company propose to pur-
chase some of the large and valuable estates in tie West of Ireland.
which are novarire the market,, and to improve and let oh lease, or
resell the same.
In no part of the British Empire can laud be obtained on such
easy terms, andwitu such present and prospective advantages.
At no former period has so favourable an oaportunity teen pre-
sented for making eligible land investments in Ireland.
It is a strange but unquestionat le tenth, th et at the present mo-
ment several hundred thousand acres of good reclaimable lard may
be bouehr in Ireland at prices scarcely higher than emigrants are
compelled to pay for cleared land in our colonial back settlements.
Owing to the legal difficulties that existed until lately to prevent
the transfer of landed property in Ireland, and the exaggerated value
generally placed upon it by its nominal owners, it was deemed hope-
less by English capitalists to seek permanent investments there,
especially as the number of pauper tenants, in many instances, was
so great as to make the Estates almost valueless, and to prevent
all attempts at the introduction of. an improved system of agri-
calture.
Ihe successful operation of the Encumbered .Estates' Court, the
remarkable decrease of the labouring classes of the Irish population
exhibited by the late Census, and the universal desire to emigrate
that now exists amongst the peasantry, solve the chief difficay in
the problem of Ireland's physical and social regeneration, and re-
move the most formidable obstacle to English enterprise in that
quarter ; the only one where it has hitherto been conquered by the
mere force of circumstances.
The province of Connaught has been chosen because it off.rs un-
questionably a preeminently ittiteble field fbr the purppses of the
Company, and still more because of the uniformly peaceful, loyal,
and tractable character of its inhabitants.
Practical Agricultarigs, Travellers, and Tourists cf all Nations
have concurred in bearingtesthnony to t .e unparalleled scope for
remunerative investment, which the counties of • Galway, Mayo,
Sligo, Roscommon, a' d Leitrim, present to; parties possessing ade-
quate means and ability to reclaim and cultivate the soil, and deve-
lope the various industrial resources in which this highly favoured
district abounds.
The principal reason why a larger number of English and Scotch
farmus have not -been -induced to take &Er antage of this splendid
opening for the profitable employment of their skill and money, has
been their reluctance to become isolated settlers in a country where
their individual efforts coat effect little in improving the cultivation
of the FOB, or in the diminution of the poor-rates ; whilst they en-
tertain considerable apprehension for the safety of their persons and
property, without the co-operation and protection of men possessing
like habits and sympathies, and engaged in the pursuit of similar
objects.
The Directors confidently hope that the project now laid before
the public will effect the enlarged realization of the celebrated pro-
position of Sir Robert Peel for the improvement ens colonization of
Co naught.
• The absence of Markets has hitherto done mitch to deter persons
from becoming settlers, or engaging in any industrial enterprise in
the West, this has been mainly attributable to the want of sufficient
internal communication and means of intercourse with the metro-
Polls ; the latter impediment to progress has already been removed
in a great measure by the recent improvements in the navigation
of the Shannon and the Western Lakes, and by the opening 9f a line
of Railway from Galway to Dublin ; while the now probabl • realiza-
sion of the long-desired steam communication with America is
another obvious source of a hitherto unknown prosperity.
The most effectual mole of promoting abetter system of Agricul-
ture is to bring it into immediate connexion with the manutacture
of its own produetions; the Company will therefore encourage the
growth of sach CoMmercial Plants, ' as may
form the basis of exten-
sive and highly remunerative Manutacturec
It was the original intention of its promoters, that the Company
shoUld itself undertake thesp manufactures, but upon more mature
delioera,tion, it has been deemed prudent to limit its object!, and de-
vote its attentim to the reclaiming, improvement, and. reselling of
lUnd alone; at the same time that it is prepared to promote by
the means, in its power the cultivation of root and te,xt.le plants so
peculiarly suited to the soil and climate of Western Ireland, as
Sugar-beet, Flax, Chicory, &e.,

It is ,needless to insi;i upon the great advantages of a Royal
Charter, by which the liability of a shareholder is limited to the
amount of his shares, but even were this out of the question, it
would he difficult to obtain a better security for the outlay of
Capital than improvable land at its pre.ent prices in Western Ireland.
A clans t in the Charter provides fur the allocation of one-fourth
of the subscribed capital as an " Improvement Fund," to be ex-
pended in effecting surfaeo and arterial dr-dnage, reclaiming, and
generally improving end rendering marketable the estates of the
Company.
It is further provided, than on the sale of any of the lands of the
Company, the produce is to be either divided rateably among the
shareholders, or re-invested in further purchases.
The fir. ctors feel that it does not become them to speak of the
amount of anxiety and deliberation which they have bestowed in
framing a plan at once practicable in its details, and worthy of
public confidence. but they think, that it ought to be known as a fact
ale.dated to errecuragu, those who embark their capital Iu this un-
dertaking, that the present is the only scheme out of many 'which
have been submitted to the tioardnf- Trade, whose professed objects
and propo,ed operations have net the approbation of her ...Majesty s
Government, as testified by the grant of a Royal Charter and the ap-
pointment of a Government Auditor.
In a review of Mr. Digby Seymour's recent works on Western
Ireland, the " Bankers' Magazine" (Jan. 185.2), after stating that
the Reviewer's intention was to treat the question " simply as a
financial one," thus emphatically pronounces its opinion upon the
present Nehente, " We believe it has a claim on the attention of
capitalists that wit' ensure its success." Other authorities abound
in express.ons of a similar confidence, but the Directors feel that a
simple statement of the views they entertrin, and the objects of the
present undertaking, will not require the aid of authority, or any
argument on their parts to ensure its favourable reception with a
discerning public.
_ . _

They would. in conclusion, adopt the langunio of Mr. Seymour
who thus sums up his argument in favour a Land Company,
connexion with Western Ireland:

"A Land Company, possessing a large tract of country; lestablsh-
ing the best system of Agriculture, working its Mines and Fisheries—
if such there were—introducing new and important manufactures—
its whole economy administered by men of skill, rectitude, and per-
severance—promoting habits of industry most effectually by insur-
' mg permanence of employment—opening fr, sh markets in conse-
quence of the large operations which it alone, possessing au ample
capital, could effect —incumbered by no poor-rates, because employ-
ing the poor—too powerful for the attempts of petty prejudices—too
self-reliant to be deterred from Its path by intimidation—uninflu-
enced itself by sectarianbm, in politics or religion, and offering no
impersonation of hostility,
but approving itself to the good feeling
~f all by its practical patriotism —possessing the advantage of
united counsels and associated energies—attractiug to itself the
hopes of all good men, and the confidence of the community--:•able in
its collective capacity to .pproach the G ,vernment with such claims
to a fry, unable attention as no private individual could advance—
contemporaneous y developing all the resources, agricultural, geolo-
gical, and manufacturing, 01 its possessions—I say that such a Com-
pany can alone undertake, wills just hopes of success, a project at
once so formidable in its difficulties—so profitable as a in, de of in-
ves•ment—so full of immediate' blessings, and of future hopes—in
its conception, peradventure, weak and unimposing—in its execu-
tion, I trust, spirited and energetic in its consummation, I would
pray, the harbinger of a nobler and happier desliny for reclaimed and
regenerated Ireland !"
