The experience of the last few years proves that for rail-
Way companies suburban and metropolitan traffic is the
most remunerative. What might have been "the profits
made had the taking of building land by railway companies
been allowed needs but the simple fact stated, that land at
the various suburban termini of the London railways has
in many cases more than trebled in value.
This Association is formed to carry through a scheme
which embraces the possession of a lino of railway starting
from the large manufacturing town of Belfast to Bangor,
via Holywood, having not only a large and increasing
suburban, but sea-side traffic, both for permanent residences
and excursions, also the advantage of land with sea frontage
for building purposes. Its success can therefore hardly
admit of a doubt. That portion of the Railway, 41 miles
of which (from Belfast to Holywood) has been open since
1848, yields an enormous return on its cost of construction ;
and since the 18th of May last, by the opening of an addi-
tional 7} miles to Bangor, nearly 70 per cent., on previous
traffic has been gained, and without a very large increase
of rolling stock the numbers seeking conveyance cannot be
carried. The line, which is at present single, will therefore
at once be doubled, and ample rolling stock provided.
Tho traffic returns show, in the 4} miles, the following
results :

The mileage traffic over the, 71 Trilled will undoubtedly
more than double the above when tho Conipany has pro-
vided means for its development.
Belfast is acknowledged to bo one of the most prosperous
cities in the United Kingdom. With the adjoining manu-
facturing towns it has a population of 190,000. The
Population of Dublin is 254,000. The cost of the Dublin
and Kingstown line of railway, unsurpassed as an in-
vestment (the £lOO stock being now £200), was
£65,000 per mile. The cost of the railway from
Belfast to Bangor, for a double lino is, including building
land, £50,000 per mile, and there aro in Belfast alone
above 40,000 mill hands, all of whom aro discharged from
Work at- one o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and resort
in such numbers to Bangor, that during the year 1864,
previous to the opening of the railway beyond Holywood,
ma less than 208,000 persons visited Bangor by steamer
alone, exclusive of those by the road. The steamer con-
voying these largo numbers was only five months on the
station. The large mannfacturingtowns of Lurgan, Lisburn,
and Portadown also contribute to the Bangor traffic.
The Belfast, Holywood, and Bangor Railway Company
have, by a bill passed this session, become possessed of the
41 miles from Belfast to Holywood, and thus secured 12
miles of rail, giving direct communication from the great
manufacturing town of Belfast to Bangor, which town may
fairly be considered the Brighton of Belfast. It can be
reached in twenty minutes. Its beauty of scenery is un-
surpassed. Bathing can be had at all states of tide, and it
is very popular with all classes for residences and excur-
sions. .

When this Association has carried out its plan of having
first-rate hotel accommodation, bathing places at Holywood
aid Bangor, winter-gardens, concert-room, and esplanade,
the result cannot fail of being highly remunerative to the
Shareholders. The traffic, when all the arrangements have
been carried out, has been estimated by competent judges
at a minimum of £1,500 per week, which will pay as high
a rate of dividend as the shareholders in the Dublin and
Kingstown Railway receive.
The demand for houses at Bangor and along the line -is
so•great that in the small town of Bangor, as it at present
exists, rates are paid for houses for the summer season far
beyond those of the most fashionable English watering
places, and farm-houses along the line are fully occupied
by visitors. _

An agreement has boon entered into by which this Com-
pany will acquire not only the 12 miles of railway from
Belfast, via Holywood, to Bangor, but also become the owners
of very valuable building land on the sea-shore at Bangor,
with a further quantity at hfolywood, and the power of tak-
ing further eligible sites. The shareholders in the Railway
Company taking their shares at par in this Company ; and
the vendors of the land above-mentioned show their con-
fidence in the undertaking by accepting the whole of the
Purchase-money in shares. Investors thus have the benefits
arising from a productive line of rail, and also the large
profits which are so well known to be made from invest-
ments in land adjoining such a line of railway.
-Eminent contractors have gone over the works, and are
prepared to enter into a contract to double the line, supply
all the necessary additional rolling stock, and to construct
the esplanade, roads, hotel, baths, and other public build-
ings, and pay to the shareholders 6 per cent. on the paid-
up capital for three years from the Ist September, 1865.
An influential committee in Belfast will be formed.

Phan 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected from
want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have
been sent away in five years. Here are brief details of a few
of the most recent cases:
