The ohject of this hue is to connect the important ports of Galway
and Belfast, and to transect the midland counties of Ireland.
Commencing at Galway the line will pass through or near the fol-
lowing important places :—Tuam, Castleblaney, Mount Talbot, Ath-
league, Roscommon, Lanesborough, Longford, Newton Forbes, Rlphin,
Carrick-on-Shannon, Beturbet, and Clones, where it will fora 4 Junc-
tion with the Newry and Enniskillen Railway, thus forming a direct
communication between the ports of Galway and Belfast. It will at
the same time afford, in connexion with other lints, accommodation
to the counties of LiMerick, Clare, Galway, Mays, Roscommon,
Longford, Leitrim, Fermanagh, Cavan, Monaghan, Londonderry,
Antrim, Armagh, and Down, and passing by or near to the Arlene
iron mines, and the great coal and limestone fields in Connaught,
it will essentially promote the agricultural and commorsial in-
terests of those places.

It will also complete an important chain of railway communication
between the port of Galway to the west (one of the most capacious
in the United Kingdom, and which must, ere long, become a packet
station for steamers to and from America, &c.), and the port of Bel-
fast in the northeast, where there are constantly steam packets pro-
ceeding to Glasgow and the ports on the western coast of Scotland,
and which will be brought into cheap and rapid communicatiox with
cash other.

It is to be observed that whilst almost every other line of railway
hitherto projected diverges from Dublin, no line is as yet proposed
which intersects the inland counties. By crossing, as it will, other
main lines, it will be a feeder to them, and it will, in return, receive
from them a considerable amount of traffic in passengers and mer-
chandize.

A preliminary survey of the district is being made; the line will
pass for nearly the entire length through the table land of Ireland, se
that the gradients are particularly favourable; there will, moreover,
be no tunnelling, nor any engineering work of difficulty. From
the estimates which have been made it is confidently expected that a
return of 10 per cent. on the capital will be realised. The aet of in-
corporation willlhnit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of
shares which they may take.
