PROSPECTIJS.

This important metropolitan railway will connect the
Dublin and Kingstown Railway at Sandymount with the
terminus of the Great Southern and Western Railway near
the Phoenix Park.

It will join a system of tramways in connection with the
docks on the south side of the River Liffey, and the har-
bour and shipping at the North Wall, and will connect
itself with the line from Dublin to Drogheda and Belfast,
and also with the Midland Great Western Railway.
The proposed line will be seven miles in length.
It will form a direct communication between the Midland
and Great Western and Dublin and Kingston Railway ; and
it will in like manner directly connect the Great Southern
and Western with the Dublin and Droheda Railway, and
will become the main route for all the traffic between the
Northern and Southern parts of Ireland. It will thus not
only be a suburban omnibus line for the city of Dublin, but
it will occupy the remarkable and unrivalled position that
the whole of the interchange traffic between the great trunk
lines converging in Dublin (viz., the Dublin and Drogheda
and Northern lines, the Midland Great Western, and
Dublin and Meath Railways, and the Great Southern and
Western Railway), together with the through traffic on
these lines to and from England, and their traffic in goods
and minerals with docks and harbour, will, of necessity,
pass over the whole or some part of it.
By the formation of this line the mail service between
England and Ireland will be considerably accelerated, and
passengers willl be enabled to travel to and from the port
of Kingston and any part of the Irish railway system with-
out changing carriages.
It is proposed to have a station at the New Cattle-market
in Dublin, and thereby to develope the tradein connection
with that extensive branch of traffic. _

It is an important feature of the proposed line that the
advantages of deep water at all states of the tide at Holy-
head and Kingston will be rendered available for the traffic
in cattle, goods, and minerals. •
From its position in relation to these ports and to the
port of Dublin, this line will effect a considerable saving
in the cost of transshipment and carriage of coal sent into
the interior of the country, and a large development of coal
traffic may confidently be anticipated as the result of these
increased facilities.
The London and North-Western Railway Company
cordially approve of the undertaking, and will afford their
fullest co-operation in developing the traffic between their
system and the Irish railways over the proposed line.
The act for this line was obtained in the last session of
Parliament, after a most searching and careful inquiry of
22 days, before a Select Committee of the liduse of Com-
mons, which unanimously adopted it as the best of five
competing schemes that had been under its consideration,
for the purpose of supplying Dublin with a metropolitan
railway communication effecting a connexi, a between the
railway systems having their termini in that city.
It is well known that the Metropolitan and Suburban
Railways of London have .produced results exceeding the
most sanguine anticipations of their original promoters,
although the cost of construction, including the purchase of
properties, has been greatly in excess of any other railways
in the kingdom.
In the present instance the position of the Dublin and
Kingstown Railway, of which the proposed line is practi-
cally an extension, furnishes the very best data for esti-
mating its future traffic.
The Dublin and Kingstown line has cost about £60,000
per mile. Its traffic is confined to passengers only, from
which it derives an income yielding an annual dividend of
about 10 per cent., and the £lOO stock is selling at about
£2OO at the present time.
It is estimated that the Dublin Trunk Connecting Rail-
way will cost about £37,000 per mile, and in addition to its
suburban omnibus traffic, and the through passenger traffic,
it will be the receiver of an extensive traffic an cattle,
goods, and minerals.
There is, therefore, just ground for expecting that the
Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway will be at least quite as
successful as the Dublin and Kingstown line, or, in other
words, that it will become one of the very best and most
remunerative railway properties in the kingdom.
- The works have been undertaken by the eminent firm of
Messrs. .1. and C. Rigby the contractors for the harbour
and other works at Holyhead.
On registration of the Scrip, of which due notice will
be given, the Certificates for £5O will be divided into five
Shares of £lO each.
In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits
will be returned in full. Should a less number of Shares
be allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made
available towable the payment on allotment, and the
balance (if any) returned to the applicant.
