PROSPECTUS.
This important line of railway is intended to commence at a point
in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway, at or near to Snareston,
and to extend to Leicester.
It will thus furnish a link necessary for carrying on the traffic
brought to Leicester by means of the South Midlands, the Bedford,
and the Peterborough Railways (all of which terminate at or near
Leicester), to the Staffordshire Potteries and the great towns of Lan-
cashire and Cheshire, and complete an unbroken line of railway, by
the best and nearest practicable route, from the various important
railway terrniul at Leicester to Manchester and Liverpool.
This great line of railway, it will be observed, traverses the finest
coal-fields in the country, and embraces the towns of Burton-upon-
Trent, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, Lane End, Stoke-
upon-Trent, and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the important and
rapidly-increasing potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, as well as
those of Staffordshire.
An inspection of the map will show that the junction line now
proposed is essential for the accommodation of the public, and it can-
not fail to be exceedingly remunerative to the proprietors.
The undertaking has the cordial support of the Tean and Dove
Valley Railway Company.
In the allotment of shares preference will be given to Shareholders
iu that Company. and to parties locally interested in the line.
The omit it of the Company will be 300,0001., divided into 15,000
shares of 201. each i a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid on al-
lotment, and each original subscriber must execute the usual Parlia-
mentary and Subscription Contract, or his shares will be forfeited.
Copies of the prospectus and map may be had from the Secretary
and Solicitors; and applications for shares must be made to the
Secretary only, accompanied by a reference to a member of the Pro-
visional Committee, a banker, or to one of the solicitors of the
Company.
Shareholders in the Tean and' Dove Valley Railway who apply
will please to state the number of &area they hold in that Company.

DUNDALK AND SLIGO RAILWAY.

PIIELIMIN'ARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
This line will traverse a rich and populous district, as yet perfectly
untouched by any railway undertaking. The vast importance of the
project will be readily understood by the most cursory reference to
the position and statistics of the several counties through which the
proposed lines will pass.
The county of Leitrim is at this moment in process of be-
towing the rival /bust
many other counties in Ireland, and
/b
.4yantages It ust derive from the operations of the
Signion eanmissions are obvious. The River Shannon has
heretofore been An utterly neglected medium of communication
between the internet districts of the country; and, as regards
tins elesiderelmn has not been supplied by any
railway project w ile
Leitrim and CaYant
of and by the shortest and Most direct
Dundalk, in the county
ever. prepAsta hue will commence at
course imaginable, will traverse ati..4
connect the counties of Louth,
Cavan, Leitrim, Roscommon, and Sligo,
2,1,1.1:ken the communication
between the port of Sligo in the west, and Dundalk !II the east. The
abandonment of the Great North-Western Line, consequent !mon the
report of the Board of Trade of .the Kells Branch not having I.).!eti
ceded to the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company, by reason of its
not being a national adjunct to the latter line, leaves at this PM/WA
the whole of the county of Meath utterly devoid of any railway 4f/A-
munication with the adjoining counties.
The projected line will pass in its direct course within twenty
miles of li-kids, and the branch to that town, which it is in contem-
plation to construct, will pass the important towns of Balieborough
and Virginia, Kells and Trim, forming a junction with the Mullin-
gar line at Longwood. The traffic tables of the Great North
Western exhibit the largest sectlon of the trade to exist between the
above-mentioned w,
