This railroad is not projected to enhance the speculations of indi-
viduals. It is demanded on the grounds of public utility. As such
it has received the warm approbation of the great bulk of the landed
proprietary and trading interests of the locality ; and as such it offers
a secure and eligible investment for capital, unsurpassed by any similar
undertaking now contemplated in Ireland.
Commencing at Belfast, it will intersect the most thickly peopled
portions of Down, called in the Report of the Government Land Cam-
mission "the Garden of Ireland." Passing to the right it will reach the
thriving town of Newtownards, ministering to the wants of the cir-
cumjacent country for a circle of about eight miles. Power will be
taken to extend the line hereafter thence to the port of Donaghadee,
on which so large an ex. enditure of public money has bean made for
converting its fine harbour into a mail station, accessible to the
south-west of Scotland and the north of England. From the debate
in the house of Lords on Monday, June 9, it Is evident the Admiralty
are determined liberally to support any enterprise that will bring the
shores of Scotland and Ireland into closer proximity, by the medium
of the ports of Donaghadee and Port Patrick.

Proceeding southerly to the assize town of Downpatrick, and
thence westwardly by the market towns of Castlewellan and Rathfry-
hind, it will be met by a branch from Banbridge —the focus of the
linen and flax trade, the great staple of the province, and employing
an amount of capital and manufacturing industry representing np-
Wards of 2,000,0001. sterling.
The aid of Government may also be confidently anticipated In be-
half of another portion of this undertaking, viz., a seven-mile branch
from Downpatrick to Ardglass, by which means Belfast will be
brought four hours nearer to Liverpool than by any other route
whatever. _ _ . . _ .

A distance of ten miles from Rathfryland will lead to Newry.
This railroad, viz., the Great County Down, Is the only line that
will afford a direct communication from the interior of the county to
Warrenpoint ; the port whence the great English markets are sup-
plied with the produce of Ulster, by way of the adjoining town of
Newry. The terminus will be at the quays of the port and beautiful
watering-place of Warrenpoint, the property of Roger Hall, Esq., of
Narrow-water Castle, who, together with the other proprietors of
the land between Newry and Warrenpoint, are most favourable to
this measure. .

Thus this line secures to tho country its natural and ancient chan-
nels of traffic and passenger conveyance, and, while affording fresh
facilities to the growing wants of a rapidly-improving population,
disturbs existing interests less, perhaps, than any project of a like
nature hitherto broached in the empire. Total length, including
branches, about 80 miles.
The acquiescence of the landholders along the line ensures the
purchase of the ground at a very economical rate ; and as the works
may be completed without incurring serious engineering difficulties,
the capital will be ample, while the traffic returns guarantee an i
terest of at least 7 per cent., exclusive of contingencies likely greatly
to increase that dividend.

Detailed prospectuses, with maps, will be speedily issued ; but
meantime, applications may be made in the usual form—those from
England, to the London offices, 37, Moorgate-street ; from Ireland, to
the solicitors at Downpatrick, Newry, and Dublin, and to the Secre-
tary at Downpatrick. Also to Mr. Thomas Hampson, broker, Mer-
aeY-chambers, Liverpool ; and Messrs. Lynill and Belgyn, Cress-
street, Manchester.
