PRO. PEC r US.
The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
commenication, and form a connexion with lines already established
or nrojected with reasonable hopes of success.
it will cam.nence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor-
therly direction, proceed through the counties of Clare, Galway, Mayo,
and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis-
killen Railway, and accommodating oa itsroute the important cities and
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Houivea, Tuam,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Bantle, Kitalla, Swineford,
Streamstown, end Sligo, which town being connected with the north,
east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London-
derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armada, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Water.oril, Cork, Killarney, Valentia,
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line wit cause Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive coinminileation which
no other country in the world enjoys.
The country through which the proposed line travels is mo.t fertre
in mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive
coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all p ats of Connaught
and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so many metropolitan lines
o: railway, it will develope those advantages in an equal degree to
the province of Leinster.
The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be
rendered available to the most distant pans of the island, and
perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be
the establishment of an intercourse between the population of the
extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the
trade of, and communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach
of all towns or any importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer-
tainty that on the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and
western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of
Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most
probably the established packet stations for postal colimunication
between the two countries, It is impossible to over-rate the value of
this truly national projection.
The counties which this railway traverses abundantly simply the
English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. This line, communicating with
so many ports will afford the greatest facilities for the shipping of
this portion o; trade, some idea or the extent of which may be formed
from the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually
in its lotmediato vicinity, among them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac-
knowledged the greatest for sheep and cattle in the British islands.
it Las been ascertained that the country presents great engineering
acilities for the construction of a railway, and in communications
which have been received from the landowners along the line, the
greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion.
The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first
Al:posits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions.
Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Committee—to alter the capital, if necessary ;to
vary or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or
enter into arrangements with any other company or companies ; and
also to nominate the first directors of the company.
The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be
ready 'or nignature on payment of the ,etto,its.
It will be rwea from the plan that the railway intersects many main
lines, and will thus contribute to, and receive from them a eon-
siderrble amount in passenger and merchandise traffic.
From the estimates that have been made, a return of at least 10
per cent. must be realised on the capital.
