PROSPECTUS.

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and form a connexion with line/3 already established
r 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•cotmties ofClare,Gtilwity, 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,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Knells, Swineford,
Streatastown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north,
east, and south, by the different lined through Enniskillen, London-
derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valentia,
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 lihe 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 in an equal degree to
the province of Leinster.
The lead, Iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be
Tendered 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 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

That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between
the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is
now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be
adopted.
The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di-
reet route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete
the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen-
diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man-
chester lines (Retnington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be
constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles.

railwaytohfethp:e.eltonetadtitioopt nearly a straight lene from Rugby to Macclesfield, s

This line also possesses the singular advantage of
affording sn.
Shelton hill most direct route from Kuucheeter to Southampton,

Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed
railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great
Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp-
ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to
Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route,
and On this account the project has been warmly supported by the
Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company.
The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and
Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or
valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no
engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly
interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market
Bosworth, Burton•upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashboume, and Leek.
The Company has made arrangements with the North London
Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their'
station (of the extant of six acres) in the centre of the City of London,
at the bottom of Moorgate.street, which will prove of the utmost
importance to this line.
Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public
mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded
that a line that will attain such important. results at so small an
outlay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and
without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet
with general approbation, and at the'same time offer a Very excellent
investment for capital
The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and
Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of
the shares.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent.
interest in all calls.
Application for -detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, may be

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of
passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter-
mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons
conversant with the islan I of Jamaica.

The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King-
ston, occupies ferty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on
the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest
journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including
horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be
traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of
30s. per passenger.
The difference in the freights between the northern and southern
sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the
saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern
side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at
much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan-
tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King-
ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports
f the east and north of the island.
The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at
Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the
largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or
near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King-
ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock
Fort, Yallahe, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Anotto Bay, Port Maria,
t. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego
1 ay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed
b etween the most important and populous places, and facility offered
for carriage of the produce of the most production portion of the
is/load.
Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are
gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun-
tains, which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the
eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost
v
northern runs an exceedingly rich country,
rieshioenllge ; into hills
other by spacious Vales. The
of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar-
ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, amid other
spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the
land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by
the increased facility for traffic, be greatly Increased ; and cotton,
indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unirnported, will again
be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety
abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes
spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vita, ebony, Spanish
elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk, The line will
also bring largely into use the valuable pabnette , and various other
woods for agricultural and household purposes, and cabinet works.
Tho mineral wealth of the country oil the liee is very considerable ;
lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver ;
whilst-every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate
of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com-
posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic.
The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction
of this Railway render it Highly probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not bo required, as every materials
necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the
atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut-
tings and embankments will be generally superseded.
A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the lint,
and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con-
struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by th'Legislative Assembly ;
—the mineral wealth; which may be developed by the construction
of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased
to capitalists its the benefit of the Shareholders.
Of the varicas imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti-
mate can sea rely be given—it will be sufficient to state, that Coals,
Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingle; Bricks, Hoops,
Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and
Manufactures generally, form important sources of profit.
The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate
per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and'egre-
ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of
railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re-
quired, and the speedy communication established between the
island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company, will "enable the Directors in this country to exercise an
efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island.
The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the
payment, of per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the
shares from file passing of the Bill until the opening'of the line.
