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 eaccess.
It will 'commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor-
therly direction, proceed through the sounties of Clare, 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, Monivea, Tuam,
Balllnrobe, 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 wkich
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 develope those advantages hl 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 paint 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 the easy reach
of all towns of any importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer-
tainty that on the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and
western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of
Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most
probably the established packet stations for postal communication
between the two countries, it is impossible to over-rate the value of
kinno its
w
this truly national projection.
The counties which this railway traverses abundantly supply the
English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. This line, communicating with
so many ports, will afforcL.the greatest facilities for the shipping of
liedmgmeeddtiahteegrvieacitnesi tty, for amongshee
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
them,andca ttthlee
iifiaitrheofEßriatillinsh
islands.
It e-
ll 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 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 bo applied for In the Act—and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Committee—to increase the capital, if necessary ;
to alter or abandon any part of, the line, to make branch lines, or
enter into arrangements with any other company or companies ; and
also to nominate the first directors of the company.
The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be
ready ibr signature on payment of the deposits.
It Will be seer in the plan that the railway intersects many main
lines, and Will thus entitribute to, and receive from them a con-
siderable amount in ptisStriger and merchandise traffic.
From the estimates that Have been made, a return of at least 10
per cent. must be realised on the capital:
