It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will he completed by throwing out new lines., where requisite.
CommenCing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29
miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham arid Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act Was obtained by
the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament.
From Gainsborougi: this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Holisad, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communicatiou between
smingliam and Hull.
this project the advantages will result to the public of a

A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners

SECRETARY—George Eimer, Esq.
The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route,
the important town and seaport of Bosto* with the centre of Eng-
land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join
the Syston and Peterborough branch of Ma M idlanti Counties Railway.
It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise
from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and
most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a
glance at the map will show that this line is well laid out, net
only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate
',laces to itoston, but also for the general traffic which will se
brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected
with it.

By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length,
and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or
near Swineslmd, Donington, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be of
great convenience and wility, by affording to a part of the country
et present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication
with the counties of Rutlandsblre, Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural
districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England,
affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for
their manufactures.
In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail-
way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the
landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is
fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential
landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unnes-
sary trouble, no other applications will be reedved except those
v herein reference is made to a in,niber of the Provisional Commit-
tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following SharelArokerm,

The many and important commercial advantages presented by a
junction line of railway between the north and south of Ireland, give
the promoters of the projected line from Athlone to Sligo, with a
branch to llallina, the most unqualified confidence in its success.
The proposes! line, as regards both public Interest and private
speculation, will very much surpass any other that has been pro-
jected from Sligo to Dublin—fint uniting with the Dublin and Galway
at Athlone, it will pass in a direct line to Sligo, having a branch to
Ballina, thereby affording rkltway communication to the great fair and
market towns in the counties of Roscommon, Mayo, and Sligo, and ter-
minating at the important se sport and garrison town of Sligo, where
it will also unite with the line to Enniskillen, and thus form a junc-
tion betw,!en the northern, southern, and western lines, opening a
continuous and the most direct railway communication be tween
the great commercial and manufacturing towns of the pro-
vince of Ulster, and the cities of Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and
I Kilkenny, and with Galway, and the other large towns and seaports
in the south-east and west of Ireland, and also giving to the coun-
ties of Sligo, ➢fayo, and Roscommon, a line of railway to the me-
t:opolis,

This lire is undertaken by the proMoters of the Irish Great
Western Railway, in consequence of the very generally-expressed
wish of the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of the county of Mayo,
a a of the northern division of the county of Galway, districts as yet
untmuched by railway projects. It is proposed that it shall leave the
trunk line at Loughrea, a point which will facilitate cOinintintea-
tion equally from the North of Connaught to the port of Galway, on
the west ; and to Ballinasloe, Athlone, and Dublin, on the cast.
From Loughrea the line will- be carried by Tuam to Castlebar and
Westport, and will afford accommodation to the towns of Athenry,
Monivca, Castle-Blakeney, Mount Bellew, Moylough, Dumnore,
Tuam, Hollymount, Ballinrobe, Claremorris, the assize town of
Cestlebar, and Westport. The two counties, Mayo and Galway,
:core immediately interested in the formation of this railway, contain
a population, amounting (according to the census of 1841) to
811,810 persons. The counties comprise a district, with respect to
which Sir John Burgoyne, the Chief Commissioner of Public Works
in Ireland, on his examination before a Committee of the House of
Commons, stated it as his Wilton that he" did not know any county
where traffic would be more likely to be created." This coast is pro-
vided with convenient harbours, and abounds with the most vale-
abh.

It is intended next year to take steps to extend this line to Ballina
and Sligo.
With respect to the construction of the line, the engineer, Sir John
Macneill, thus writes :

" TUAM AND CASTLEBARRAILWAY, WITHA BRANCH TO

WESTPORT.

" This line leaves the Irish Great Western Railway near Loughrea,
at a distance of 112 miles from Dublin, and 20 from Galway. It
runs thence in a north-westerly direction, passing at the Bth mile,
near Athenry, and at the 12th, near Monivea, and at the 24th-mile,
it arrives at the town of Tuam. It reaches llollymount at the dis-
tance of 39 miles from Loughrea, and passing Ballyglass, accom•
pushes the distance to Castlebar by a line of 56 miles in length. From
near this town it is proposed to carry a branch 10 miles long, to the
rising town of Westport, situated on Crew Bay, which contains a
series of most excellent harbours.

" This line will pass through a country which presents no engi-
neering difficulties, and where the levels are most favourable,. and
by means of the Irish Great Western Railway, and the Great
Southern and Wcotern Railway and ita Branches, will afford a direct
communication from the east, south, and south-cast of Ireland, to
the north-west. "JOHN MACNEILL."
A separate Bill will, of course, be sought for this branch, hut the
Provisional Management will be placed in the hands of a section of
the Provisional Committee of the Irish Great Western Company,
with the addition of some gentlemen of local influence and station,
wher,by the expense sill be considerably reduced, and unity of
action secured in the conduct of the two undertakings.
The capital required will be 660,0001., to be divided into 33,000
sha•es of 201. each, with a deposit of 2/. per share. A portion of
these have already been placed at the disposal of the shareholders
in the Irish Great Western Railway ; and applications for the re-
mainder, made according to the subjoined form, will be received until
the 25th of October instant.

Applications for shares to be made to the Solicitor, Secretary, or to
James Bayden, Esq., 19, Moorgate-street, London.
