This Railway proposes to afford to the entire county of Down a
complete system of railway communication. Commencing at the
quays of Warrenpoint, and passing through the commercial town of
Newry (where it forms a junction with the Newry and Enniskillen
and Dublin and Belfast Junction Railways), it traverses the entire
length and breadth of the county, termed in the Land Commis-
sioners' report " the garden of Ireland." Proceeding from Newry
in a northern direction, in a line almost parallel with the mail.
coach road, to a point about midway between Newry and Banbridge,
the trunk divides into two great portions, the one leading westerly
through Banbridge, the seat of the linen and flax trade of Ireland,
to Moira, where it forms a junction with the Ulster line to Belfast.
The eastern portion proceeds by Rathfriland, Castlewellan, and the
assize town of Downpatrick to Comber, where it is met lfy a most
important and integral part of this undertaking, namely, a branch
from the mail-packet station and port of Donaghaelee, through the
richly populated district and town of Newtonards, and terminates at
the quays of Belfast.

It will be thus seen that this comprehensive undertaking embraces
ever• important town in the county, and affords the only direct and
continuous route through Newry to the port of Warrenpoint on the
south ; while the northern portion to Donaghadee, in connection with
the proposed British and Irish Union Railway, from Portpatrick to
Stranraer, Dumfries, and Glasgow, accomplishes the most ex,,editious
a, id safe communication between Great Britain and Ireland.

Power will be taken to extend the line from Downpatrick to the
port and harbour of Ardglass, whenever it may be deemed advisable
by the shareholders. The traffic tables guarantee a return on the
whole line of at least seven per cent. on the proposed capital.
The Prospectus and map, with forms of application, may be had
from the Solicitors and Secretary, at their respective offices.
