SECRETARY—Henry Moreing, Esq.
At several large public meetings held in October last, at Brentford,
Isleworth, and Hounslow, resolutions.were unanimously passed in
(avourof establishing a railway communication with the metropolis,
and the Gazette notices were actually published ; but the difficulty
of obtaining a suitable terminus sin London induced the principal
promoters of this important undertaking to postpone bringing their
scheme before the public.
This impediment has now been overcome, and by a proposed Juno-
tion with the Central Terminus and the Thames Embankment Rail-
way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled to proceed
directly to the heart of the metropolis • and by the united Railways,
which will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country
without interruption.
By the intended Junction, also, with the Great Western Railway,
at or near West Drayton, and by the intersection of the Birmingham
Railway at Kensington, these important lines will be supplied with
direct access to the Central Terminus, and thence to the City, or to
the Southern and Eastern Lines.
The proposed line, whiLli passes through or near the extensive and
populous suhurbs of Pimlico, Chelsea, Brompton, Kensington, Ham-
mersmith, Chiswick, and Turnham-green, to the town of Brentford,
and thence to Isleworth, Hounslow, and West Drayton, has received
the most cordial approbation and promises of support from the great
majority of the inhabitants and other parties locally interested.
This line is singularly free from engineering difficulties ; and.
although there is almost a complete continuity of town and village
throughout the whole distance, yet, from the care with which the
line has been laid down, so as to avoid property covered with build-
ings, and to take advantage of open aid unoccupied spaces, the
value of the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so great as,
from the nature of the localities, would be inferred. By the adop-
tion of the Atmospheric principle, or some equally eligible mode of
working, the annoyances, inseparable from the locomotive system
will be obviated, and the advantage of almost constant trains, so in-
dispensable to this densely-populated district, will be secured.
The population of the various places at which stations are proposed
to be erected ou the present line is not less than 200,000, and to give
some idea of the large amount of traffic which may be calculated
upon, it may be stated that the present annual income derived from
the earriage of passengers, by omnibuses alone, amounts to above
100,0001. ; under these circumstances, no doubt can be entertained of
a very ample return for the capital required for this important work.
The preliminary announcements of this undertaking have referred
to it as the London, Brentford, Hounslow, and Great Western Junc-
tion Company—a title which the Provisional Committee have upon
further consideration, altered to the present designation, in order to
distinguish it from other schemes similar in name, but differing in
their proposed course.
The surveys of the line are completed, and every arrangement will
be made for applying to Parliament for an Act in the ensuing session,
previously to which the plans will be laid before the Metropolitan
Commissioners of Improvement for their approval.
Applications for shares, in the subjoined form, may be made, ad-
dressed to the Provisional Committee, at the temporary Offices of
the Company, 18, Parliament-street, to the Solicitors and Parlia-
mentary Agents, and to the following agents and sharebrokers :

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,
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, lionivea, Tuam,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, 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, 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 fertile
in mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive
coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all parts of Connaught
and Ulster ; and intersecting, as it does,
so many metropolitan
of railway, it will develope those advantages in an equal "gr to
the province of Leinster. its route, will be

ilinnl°lttwshas been ascertained that the country presents great engineering
facilities for the construction of a railway, and in oommwalcations
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 will be applied for in the Act—artd. 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
aro to nominate the first directors of the company.
The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be
ready for signature on payment of the deposits.
It will be seen from the plan that the railway intersects many main
lines, and will thus contribute to, and receive from them a con-
siderable 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.
