PROSPECTUS.
The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and form a connexion with lines already eStabllshe4
sr 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,
and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis-
killen Railway, and accommodating on itsroute the important cities and
g towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tustin,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Balling, Malls., Swineford.

derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
t Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valentin,
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
. 3 land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
eo other country in the world enjoys.

EVGINERR—EIijah Galloway, Esq.
This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland
Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle
Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measham, and Market Bosworth to
Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch.
projected by the Tamworth 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 bide, at the same
time supplying a rich mineral and agricultural district with railway
advantages.

A reference to the map will show that this railway will also COM-
mend 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 Humber 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
in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance; end it
must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south-
west of Warwick, will be very great.
The distance saved by the proposed line 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 to
to
Not-
tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birminghamrimsby ;
and
Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great G
by joining with the Erewash Valley
district south
command the traffic from Coventry,
Warwick,
north of England
Eaton, it must
communicationa between Not-
of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds,
generally. It will also afford a direacr%
v ic Worcester, by means
tingham and the district between.l
andßugby, and the Warwick
Warwick,
of the projected Worcester, York, and
Longth.E.

and Worcester Railways.
The entire length of line will be about 28 miles. The Corn-
pany'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

purposacsss.e.
directly through a very pr
I oductive mineral district, in-
terstecPthig the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will
afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries.
With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic,
tfie 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
amount of their subscriptions.
