The Provisional Committee have the satisfaction to announce
that the Shares have been all allocated to a highly-respectable and
solvent Proprietary, a very large portion of the deposits received,
and the remainder is in course of payment.
The Parliamentary Surveys are nearly completed, and will be
ready in a few days to be submitted to the Board of Trade, with
authenticated statements of the traffic, which more than verify the
expectations originally formed of this undertaking as to the cost of
construction, and prove that it will be highly remunerative.
Another Company, styled the Irish Great Western Railway,
having been lately brought before the public, and adopting a course
fram Sallins to Ath:one, and thence to Galway, a line originally
examined as far as Athlone by this Committee, and aban-
doned in consequence of the manifest insufficiency of the traffic,
has been mistaken by many persons as the same undertaking as
that to Mullingar and Longford. The Provisional Committee,
therefore, feel it necessary to guard the public against any mistake
in this respect, by stating that their Line to Mullingar, with
branches to Athlone and Longford, has no connexion whatever
with the Company referred to.

An estimate has been made of the expected traffic. The greater
proportion of the passenger traffic has been obtained in the usual
manner from the Stamp-office Returns. The remainder of the
traffic has been carefully ascertained by competent persons, and
the charge for conveyance estimated on a moderate scale; and the
promoters confidently expect, when the various lines of railway
now projected in the south of Ireland shall be completed, that the
amount here stated will be considerably exceeded. The result is as
