IRISH LINES.

ARMAGH, COLERAINE, AND PORTRUSH.—On Fri-
day last a numerously attended meeting was held in
the Market-house at Armagh, for the purpose of ex-
pressing an opinion as to the propriety of furthering
the objects of the company in their application to Par.
liament to have the standing orders sus-
pended, and having an Act passed for the con-
struction of their line during the present session.
There were present the Earl of Gosford, Lord Ache-
son, M.P., Major Thornton, Mr. R. W. Cope,
Loughsll, Mr. W. Paton, Mr. W. Algeo, Mr. Lee
M.‘Kinstry, Mr. W. Blacker, Mr. T. Dobbin; Jus-
tices, Drs. Robinson, Lane, Cumming, and Dixcn ;
Colonel Nicolls, Captain Donnelan, Mr. H. L. Lind-
say, C. E., Rev. J. White, Mr. D. R. Goodlate, Mr.
J. W. Bell, and others. On the motion of Captain
Algeo, seconded by Mr. T. Dobbin, Lord Gosford
took the chair. Mr. J. Cummings read a letter from
Dr. Henry, bearing testimony to the claims of the
line on public support. Colonel Nichol], one of the
deputation from the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush
Company, stated that he was authorised to offer any gua-
rantee required to supply a line that would accommo-
date Armagh. The capital, 600,0001., was all paid
up, and every other arrangement had been mada. Mr.
Galt, another of the deputation, next 'sddressed the
meeting, and described at considerable length the
claims of the proposed line, of the route of which he
gave an outline. They proposed to commence at Ar-
magh, starting from the fever hospital, which was to be
a common focus for the Belfast, Dublin, and Armagh
lines, next to Blackwatertown, crossing to Moy and
Charlemont (a deviation in order to connect the
twenty-six towns between Armagh and Coleraine),
from thence to Dungannon, the centre of a large
manufacturing district ; then to Coal Island, impor-
tant because of its coal mine and manufactories; next
through Stewartstown, diverging again to the east to
Moneymore, and so on to Portrush, each of which
towns had immense traffic, an exact return of which
was taken. There were no engineering difficulties.
The first resolution was proposed by Lord Acheson,
and seconded by Mr. T. Dobbin. Mr. Ommaney
proposed an amendment in favour of the Dublin, Bel-
fast, and Coleraine Junction, which proposed, he
stated, to run a branch to Armagh. They had their
capital, 700,0001., already subscribed. Mr. Dixon,
Dungannon, seconded the amendment, which, after
some discussion, was thrown out. Mr. Nesbitt, Mr.
Blacker, Mr. Neel, Mr. Barnes, Mr. Armstrong, Mr.
Kirk, and others addressed the meeting, and, passing
a series of resolutions in favour of the line, the meet-
ing separated, after signing a petition to the House
for a suspension of the standing orders.
A similar meeting has been held at Magherafelt,
Andrew Spottiswoode, Esq., J.P., of Millbrook, in
the chair. meeting was addressed by the Hon.
C. Knox Stuart, J.P., Castleda wson ; Mr. Galt, Mr.
M'Farland, Mr. R. Miller, J.P., Captain Graves, J. P.,
Mr. J. T. Brian, Mr. N. J. Neale, and others. Peti-
tions praying for a suspension of the standing orders
were unanimously adopted.
DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA —The Directors of this

line have made arrangements to afford our mechanics
of Dublin and Drogheda, and their families, the op-
portunity- of travelling between the termini during
Whitsuntide at one -half the usual fares.

CORK PASSAGE.—At the last meeting of the harbour
Commissioners of Cork, it was resolved that the
powers already conceded in favour of this line, which
is now being revived, be renewed, as it would contri-
bute to the deepening of the channel of the river and
improving the navigation.
CORK AND BANDON.—The contracts for the works
are to be let this month in six separate divisions.
NEw Ross AND CARLOW JUNCTION.—OD Wed-
nesday a meeting was held in the Town-hall of New
Ross, Charles Tottenham, Esq., of Macmurrough,
J. P., in the chair, when resolutions were proposed
and spoken to by Mr. R. Heily, the Rev. Mr. Brenan,
Mr. James Galavan, Mr. E. Hay, Mr. M. llowett,
Mr. E. Carr, Mr. T. Brehan, Rev. J. Crane, Mr. H.
Costello, Mr. E. Chapman,:and others, to the effect that
the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Com-
pany having, by their late plans and specifications,
departed essentially from those detailed in the pros-
pectuses, the meeting do determine to give that line
every legitimate opposition in their power, fully con-
curring in the opinion expressed by the Board of
Trade—" That the line between Wexford and Carlow,
though complete in itself, is likely to be more costly
than its traffic may justify, and that the Wexford,
New Ross, and Valentia line, demands the warmest
support, as opening a direct communication from New
Ross, through the:South-western districts, to the har-
bour of Valentia."

[ADVERTISEMENTS.]
The Decay of Teeth arises from various causes ;
but, principally, it may be attributed to early neglect, ill
health, or the use of tooth powders containing mineral
and other deleterious acids, which give a momentary
whiteness to the teeth, while they corrode the enamel !
—The extreme prevalence of this cause is too well
known to need comment. To this fact, indeed, is prin-
cipally to be attributed the long botanical research,
which happily terminated by the most felicitous discovery
ever given tog the world for the Preservation of the
Teeth, Gums, and Breath, viz —lowland's Odonto, or
Pearl Dentifrice : this Powder now occupies a distin-
guished place at the Toilets of the Sovereigns and the
Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand
for it at once announces the favour in which it is uni-
versally held.
LIE ATRAPILATORY, OR LIQUID HAIR DYE ;
the only dye that really answers for all colours, and
does not require re doing, but as the hair grows, as it
never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint
common to all other dyes. Ross and Sons can, with the
greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as in-
fallible, if dune at their establishment ; and ladies or
gentlemen requiring it, are requested to bring a friend
or servant with them to see how it is used, which will
enable them to do it afterwards without the chance of
failure. Several private apartments devoted entirely to
the above purpose, and some of their establishment
having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen.
They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly
to the instructions given with each bottle of dve, nume-
rous persons have succeeded equally well without coming
to them. Address Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishops-
gate-street, the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfumers,
Hair-cutters, and Hair-dyers. N.B. Parties attended at
their own residences, whatever the distance.
