PROSPECTUS.
The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and form a connexion with lines already established
or projected with reasonable hopes of success.
It will cammence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor-
therly direction, proceed through the counties of Clare, Galway, 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, Ceatlebar, Westport, Foxford, Balllna, Kilalla, Swineford,
Streametown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north,
e.tst. and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London-
derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Velentia,
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
lend to present a completeness of locomotive communication wislch
to other country in the world enjoys.
The country through which the proposed line travels Is most fertile
in mineral and agricultural products ; It embraces many extensive
coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all p irts 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 Lelnster.
The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be
rendered available to the most distant par:s 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
western lines, theib completion of the projected southern, eastern, and
Ireland will become e noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of
probably theeßtait ititle British depots of American traffic, and most
between the two co ed packet stations for postal communication
this truly national unt,i,s, it is impossible to over-rate the value of
Projection.
The counties wtileh this railway traverses abundantly supply the
English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. This line, communicating w;411
so many ports, will afford
greatest facilities for the shipping of
this portion of trade, some idees. of the extent of which may be formed
from the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually
in its immediate vicinity among them, the fair of

Siderable amount in passenger and merchandise trams.
From the estimates that have been made, a return of at least 10
per cent. must be realised on the capital.
