ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

Tho 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 allo ,ved 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 line 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 9 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.
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
and 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.
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, 1863.
An influential committee in Belfast will be formed.
The plans, reports, and other particulars may be seen at
the Offices of the Company.
Full prospectuses and forms of application maybe obtained
at the London Financial Association (Limited), South Sea
House, Threadneedle-street, the Bankers, Brokers, and
Solicitors of the Company.

THE RESCUE SOCIETY wishes to add another
home to the 12 now in operation. Last year no fewer
han 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected trom
want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have
been sent away in fire years. Here are brief details of a few
of the most recent cases:
F. v., aged 16, fallen, mother dead, deserted by her father.
M. A. F., aged 13, homeless, both parents dead.
A. 8., aged 17, fallen, father dead, deserted by her mother.
S. D., aged 15, fallen, mother dead.
C. 8., aged 15, fallen, mother dead,
A 8., aged 16, fallen, both parents dead.
H. S., aged 14, timeless, deserted by her parents,
M. 11., aged 17, fallen, both parents dead.
C. H., aged 17, fallen, both parents dead.
A. G., aged 18, fallen, father dead.
E. K„ aged 18, fallen, both parents dead,
S. B. aged 17, fallen, both partnts dead.
M. A. W. aged 17, fallen, both parents dead.
S. D., aged 16, fallen, both parents dead.
The new home the Committee wish to form would be for
young girls, almost children, from the age of 8 to 15, who
have been led astray from the path of virtue.
Contributions will be received gratefully by the Secretary,
Mr. Daniel Cooper, 85, Queen-street Cheapside; or by Messrs
Barclay and Co., Lombard-street.
