PROSPECTUS.
The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and form a connexion with lines already established
or projected with reasonable hopes of success.
It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor-
therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, Mayo,
A 11.1511140, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis-
killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam,
liallinrobe, Castiebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilalla, Swineford,
Streamstown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north,
east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London-
derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valentia,
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
po other country in the world enjoys.

ACTING ENGINEER—Elijah Galloway, Esq.

Th Him will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland
C, ,tintie,i Railway, anti will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle
,
Donin,,ton, Asithy-de-la-'Gooch, Measham, and Market Bosworth to
Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth. the Birmingham branch,
projected by the Tainworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton,
the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester
Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Trent Valley line.
Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important
towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and
Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same
tine supplying a rich mineral and agricultural district with railway
advantages.
A reference to the map will show that this railway will also com-
mand other collateral advantages.
There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be-
tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the
proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at present existing be-
tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham
and Lincoln, and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces-
ter to the Slumber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great
'Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company
being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended
ha rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and it
must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south-
west of Warwick, will be vecy great.
The distance saved by the proposed lino between Leamington,
Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham will be about fourteen miles ;
and between Birmingham and Nottingham (by either of the projected
lines from Birmingham to Leicester) the saving will be about ten
miles. Being so much the shortest route from Birmingham Not-
tingliam and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to
Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby; and
by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must
command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south
of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of Eng.and
generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not-
tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means
of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick
end Worcester Railways.
The entire length of the line will he under thirty miles. The Com-
Patty's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has
made his report, that the character of the country through which
the
line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering
' Purposes.

-
It Passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in•
'ersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will
,fford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries.
With such an assured Immediate and prospective amount of traffic,
the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re-
munerative.
Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
atnount of their subscriptions.
