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 Down, 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 mall-
coach road, to a point about midway between Newry and Banbridge,
the trunk divides into two great arteries, the one running north-westerly
through Banbridge, the seat of the linen and flax trade of Ireland,
falls in at 3loira, on the Ulster line, thus effecting the speediest route
from Dublin to Belfast ; while the other, taking an easterly direction
by Rathfriland, Castlewellan, and the assize town of Downpatrick to
Comber, is there met by a most important part of this under-
taking, namely, a branch from the mail-packet station and port of
Donaghaelee, through the richly populated district and town of New-
tonards, and terminates at the quays of Belfast.
It will be thus seen that this comprehensive undertaking embraces
every important town in the county, and affords the only direct and
continuous route through Newry to the port of Warrenpoint ; while
the branch to Donaghadee, in connexion with the proposed British
and Irish Union Railway, from Portpatriek to Stranraer, Dumfries,
and Glasgow, accomplishes the most expeditious and safe communica-
tion 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
liability of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their
shares, and interest at the rate of four per cent. will be allowed on
the depostts and rolls until the line is opened.
The detailed prospectus and map can be obtained at the respective
offices of the Company, and applications for shares may be made to
the solicitors and secretaries, as above ; and to the following brokers :
