line will traverse a rich and populous country, and n
with the Great Southern and Western, and the Dublin and Galway
Railways, complete a chain of direct lines of railway between the
metropolis and Ireland, and the river Shannon ; and afford the ad-
vantages of the improved system of intercommunication to an exten-
sive district untouched by any existing or other projected railway.
This facility of intercommunication is imperatively demanded
to connect the populous towns of Frankford, Kennitty, Clonaslee,
Parsonstown, Banagher, Eyrecourt, Cloghan, Ferbane. Shinrone,
Portumna, and Borriskane, with the City of Dublin on the east, and
the port of Galway on the west, which object will be effected by the
construction of a direct Railway, not exceeding thirty-five miles in
length, passing through a country free from engineering difficulties,
and avoiding competition with other lines.
The large amount of traffic at present existing between Dublin and
the towns in immediate connection with the proposed line, with the
great increase which must flow as a necessary consequence of the
completion of the work, ensuring a highly remunerative return on
the capital required to be embarked.
A detailed prospectus will be issued on Tuesday. In the interim
application may be addressed to John Julien, Esq., Lower Mount-
street, Dublin ; to Alexander, 11PNeil, Esq., stockbroker, Dublin ;
and to William Andrews, Esq., at the office of the Company, 41,
Moorgate-street, Loudon.
