The British and Irish Union Railway Company has been recently
formed to connect with Ireland the manufacturing districts of Eng-
land, and some of the southern counties of Scotland. It is now pro-
posed to complete the connexion between Scotland and Ireland, and
supply the remaining connecting link along the Ayrshire and Gal-
loway coast, by making a line from the terminus of the Glasgow and
Ayr Railway, at Ayr, to join the British and Irish Union Railway at
or near Stranracr.
These two lines of railway a 'AI be mutually beneficial; and they
both stand in the happy situation that no opposition line can well be
contrived to affect their traffic.

The local advantages of the railway now proposed are duly appre-
ciated by the landowners generally, through whose estates the lines
will pass, and the necessary land for the railway will be acquired by
the Company at little cost.
The Glasgow and Belfast Union Railway will secure to Edinburgh,
Glasgow, and the rest of Scotland, the speediest intercourse with Ire-
land, and the shortest sea passage between the two countries (a pas-
sage, with good steamers, of less than an hour and a half), and at
the same time will open up railway communication from Glasgow,
Ayr, Girvan, and the whole manufacturing and mineral districts of
Ayrshire, to the great natural harbour of Lochryan.
The local traffic from the rich and improving county of Wigton,
and the transpoi t of coal along the line for the supply of that county,
will be very considerable ; and when the Railway now proposed is
formed, a large portion of the traffic from Ireland to Glasgow, Edin-
burgh, and the north and west of Scotland, will also pass along the
line. The immense and rapidly increasing trade of Glasgow and
Belfast gives assurance of the traffic between those two places being
great and profitable. The county of Ayr, through which chiefly the
proposed Railway will pass, Is unusually rich in mineral and agricul-
tural produce, and manufactures : and along this line, these will be
carried to the shipping ports of Ayr, Girvan, Ballantrae, and
Lochryan.

The entire length of the line ul.ll be about fifty-four miles. The
Railway is proposed to pass through the flat country, south of Ayr—
along the vale of Glrvan, through which it will proceed to, or near
the manufacturing town and shipping port of Girvan—and thence in
the best line to Lochryan, and Stranraer, the most populous town in
Galloway.

The Provisional Committee have been assured by Mr. Miller, the
engineer of the GlagoOr ind Ayr Line, that the Railway will be com-
pleted for less than the Proposed capital.
The Directors of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock. and Ayr Rail-
way have agreed with the Provisional Committee to take a lease of
this Railway, when completed, for 999 years, and to pay four per
cent: interest on the cost stated in the Prospectus; and to divide
equally with this company the surplus profits, after deducting the ex-
penses of working the line at the rate of 33 1-3 per cent.
It is provided by the Act 8 Victoria, c. 17, that n• Shareholder
shall be liable for payment of any debt or demand due, or to become
due by the Company, beyond the extent of his share in the capital of
the Company.

The proposed railway is intended to connect the assize town of
Omagh with the important city of Armagh, now the centre of all the
railways in the north of IrOluld• _

Theline will commence it Omagh, where it will eonnect itself with
the Londonderry and Enniskillen station at that town, and, passing
through or near to Balifawley, Fintona, Clogher, and Augher,
Auchnacloy, Caledon, and Killylea, terminates at Armagh, where it will
form a junction with the Lister Railway to Belfast, the Inland Line
to Dublin, the Newry and flniskillen, and also the Armagh, Cole-
raine, and P.rtrush

By this line of railway' the inhabitants of Tyrone and the adjacent
counties will be afforded he most direct and expeditious mode of ac-
cess to Armagh, Newry,
Ind Belfast ; and as the distance between
Omagh and Dublin will baby this line twenty miles shorter than that
proposed by any other coPPany now projected, the whole goods and
passenger traffic from the Ilorth-western and north-midland parts of
Ireland In the direction of be metropolis will pass over this railway.
To those acquainted witt the county of Tyrone, and the ordinary
course of its traffic to Belfst and Newry, it must be obvious that
this railway will afford utilities for the transit of goods and pas-
sengers, which must be atonce a great accommodation to the public
shareholders. and most remunerative to

The entire lengh of ti;eline will be about 35 statute miles, The
traffic returns justify th( expectation that the Shareholders will
derive at least 8 per cent interest on their capital for the present,
with every prospect of ) Progressive increase from the improved
traffic which railway emununication invariably preduces.
Power will be taken toallqw interest at 4 per cent. per annum on
the deposits and calls till he line be opened.
