GREAT LEINSTER AND MUNSTER
RAILWAY.

SECOND EXTENSION,
Terminating at the CITY of LIMERICK.
Length from the Main Trunk, about 75 English Miles.
Capital 4:1,000,000. To be raised in 10,000 Shares, of £lOO each.
Deposit 2/. 10s. per Share.
No call to exceed 101. per cent. ; and Three Months to inter-
vene between each call. No Shareholder to be liable beyond the

The Provisional Committee have now the satisfaction of an-
nouncing to the Public the Prospectus for the completion of this
wii4o v important branch of their Railway.
he Prospectus already before the public, for the first exten-
sio their line from Dublin to Kilkenny, the great importance of
this s nd extension is referred to, as being one of the principal
branches contemplated by the original promoters of the Leinster
aad Munster Railway. The second extension is to effect a perfect
line of-communication by Railway from the capital of Ireland to the
City of Limerick, and it is proposed to branch from the main trunk
at a distance of about 33 miles from Dublin.

Limerick is the third city in Ireland in extent of district, with
a population of 90,000 inhabitants, and is the first in export of the
production of the soil ; is in a rich and fertile country, with a river
coast of 120 miles, commanding the counties of Limerick, Clare,
and Kerry, and a steam navigation for upwards of 200 miles inland.
This Railway will traverse a populous and productive portion of
the country, passing near to the towns of Stradbally, Marvborough,
Borris in Ossory, Hoscrea, and Nenagh (and at present dependent
on land carriage only.)
This present extension, however, rests its claims for public sup-
port, not only upon the favourable nature of the country through
♦ehich the line will pass, whether viewed in reference to population
or produce, but also upon the peculiar advantages which must re-
sult from the establishment of a direct Railway or communication
between Dublin and its chief western port.
The position of Limerick is well known; it is situated on the
banks of the Shannon; it presents a terminus to which the naviga-
tion of that noble river will bring the various productions of the
ten counties through which it passes for an extent of more than
200 miles. The falls of the Shannon within a -distance of ten miles
of Limerick give nearly 100 feet water power, which can be made,
at little expense, available to all manufacturing purposes, and the
population of the country will supply any demand for labour.
A calculation has been made by which the annual profit of the
undertaking has been estimated at ten per cent., in which no refe-
rence has been made to the conveyance of mails, posting, private
carriages, military and naval stores, &c. ; nor to the prospective
advantages which would ensue, if this port be selected as a packet-
station by the Government, with the increase of passengers from
Great Britain to America.

This undertaking has the approbation and support of the Cham-
ber of Commerce of Limerick, who view the establishment of a
Railway communication between Dublin and Limerick as highly
beneficial to the trade, agriculture, and general interests of Ireland°.
For further detailed particulars, the Committee refer to the
Prospectuses published with reference to this branch of the Rail-
way, which may be had at the Railway Offices, 42 Cornhill, Lon-
al : and 3, College-green, Dublin ;or at the offi of Matthew
Barrington, Esq., in Dublin and Limerick ; or Messrs. Fladgate,
Young, and Jackson, 12, Essex-street, Strand, London, Solicitors
to the Company.

The recent meetings of the Governors of this Institution, relative to
the dismissal of Messrs. Hentsch ar.d Tweedie, two of the Medical Officers
