• PROSPECTUS.
The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and fonn a connexion with lines already established
or 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 counties of Clare, Galway, Mayo,
and terminating at Sligo, by a junctionwith the Sligo and En
killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the importsuit cities and
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughres, Athenry, Monlvea, Tnam,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilalla, Swineford,
Streanistown, 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, Valentia,
Traleu,•and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-

ACTING ENGINEER—Elijah Galloway, Esq.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland
Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle
Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measharn, and Market Boswortk to
Nuneaton ; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch,
projected by the Tarnworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton,
the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester
Railway, at the point where that lino crosses the Trent Valley lino.
Thus a direct communication will he formed between the important
towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and
Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same
time supplying a rich mineral and agricultural district with railway
Advantues.
A reference to the map will show that this railway will also com-
mand other collateral advantages.
There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be-
tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the
proposed line will nil up the railway chasm at present existing be-
te WI MC counties of Woucester and Worcester, Sin: _lrottinrazarn
and Lincoln, and thus form a direct line from the blevern at Glouces-
ter to the lumber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great
Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company
beinz now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended
in rendering *reat Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and it
must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south-
'arrest of Warwick, will ho army great.
The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington,
wv wick, Coventry, and Nottingham will be about fourteen miles ;
And be: weer Birmingham and Nottingham (by either of the projected
lines frou! Birmingham to Leicester) the saving will be about ten
miles. j/eing so much the shortest route from Birmingham to Not-
tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to
Notting:lain, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby; and
by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must
Command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south
of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England
generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not-
tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means
Of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick
and Worcester Railways.
The entire length of the line will be under thirty miles. The Com-
pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has
made his report, that the character of the country through which
the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering
purposes.
It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in-
tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will
afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries.
'With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic,
the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re-
munerative.

Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up
Capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
ailioant of their subscriptions.
