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, 3fonivea, Tuam,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Balling, 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, Valentla,
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 lines
of railway, it will des-elope 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 parts 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 tile easy reach
of all towns of any importance in Ireland. Added to this the

The counties which this railway tracievcilleo:adronsedsisaebtUrnadfnacn.tly 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 lino, the
greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion.
