PROSPECTUS.

established
The object of this line of Railway. Is to complete the chain of
communication, and form a connexion with lines already es
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, Galwav eta .o
and Sligo, 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,
Rallinrobe, Castiebar, Westport, Foxford, Rallina, Kilalia, Swineford,
Strearnstown, 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, Valentin,
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
no other country in the world enjoys.
The country through which the proposed line travels is most ferti:e
in mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive
coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all p irts of Connaught
and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so many metropolitan lines
of railway, it will dtsvelope 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 parrs 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 of 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 communication
between the two countries, it is impossible to ever-rate the value of
this truly national projection.

The counties which this railway traverses abundantly supply 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 of trade, Some idea Of the'eXtent of which may be formed
from the fact, of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually
In its immediate vicinity, among them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac-
knowledged the greatest for sheep and cattle in the British islands.
It has been ascertained that the country presents great engineering
facilities 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
deposits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions.
Power wilt be applied for in the Act—and In the meantime is
hereby given to the Committee—to alter the capital, Ifneeessary ;to
