The proposed line, wlikh passes through or near the extensive and
populous suburbs of Pimlico, Chelsea, Brompton, Kensington, Ham-
mersmith, Chiswick, and Turnhain-green, to the town of Brentford,
and thence to Isle worth, Hounslow, and West Drayton', has received
the most cordial approbation and promises of support from the treat
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 and unoccupied spaces, the,
value of the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so great as,.
tram 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 on the present line is IA 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 carriage of passengers, by omnibuses alone, amounts to above
100,000/. ; 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 preseut 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 mate, 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,
add Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis-
killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities aryl
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry. Monivea, Tuna,

At several large public meetings held in October last, aelgendor&
ligeworth, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously pak.‘ed 10
favour of establishing a railway communication with the metropolis,
and the Gazette notices 'welt actually published ; but the difficulty
of obtaining a suitable terminus in London induced the principal
promoters of this important undertaking to postpone bringing their
scheme before the public.
This hnpediment has now been overcome, and by a proposed Junc-
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 metropolls,; and by the united Railways,
which will ramify front this point, to ahnost.every part of the country
without interruption.
By the intended Junction, also, with the Great Western hallway.
at or near West Drayton, and by the intersection of the Birmingham
Railway at Yensington,•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.
