This Railway has been projected to secure to Manchester and the
flourishing manufacturing district of Lancashire a direct commtutica- •
tion with Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the important porta and districts
in the north-eastern part of the kingdom.
The Railway is intended to continence at the Richmond Branch of
the Great North of England Railway, and to proceed by way of
Middleham, Kettlewell, and Gargrave, to a point on the extension of
the Leeds and Bradford Railway, between Skipton and Colne, with
such additions thereafier as may effect the most direct communisation
with Manchester.
This project will effect several objects of great public importance.
It will supply the most direct and shortest railway communication
between the manufacturing district of Lancashire and the ports of
Newcastle, Hartlepool, and the free port of the Tees; effecting a
very large saving in distance, and consequently in the time of transit.
Again, this undertaking wilt aftbrd the advantages of railway
communication to an extensive district at present wholly destitute of
both railways and canals, and supply coals from the Durham coal
fields to the district on its route.
Iron, stone, lead, blue lime-stone, and flags, are found in great
abundance on the line of the intended Railway, which will largely
develop the mineral resources of the district.
Applications for Share, may be made in the form annexed to the
Solicitors and the following Sharebrokers :

dale, and Messrs. R. and B. Watson and Co. ; Messrs. E. Key and

This railway is proposed to be in connexion with the Ulster Rai_
way, with other railway companies whose Bills will be obtained
during the present session of Parliament, and with the proposed
Newry, Warrenpoint, and Rosstrever Railway.
The line will traverse a most highly improved, wealthy, and
populous district of the county of Down, the principal seat of
the linen manufacture in Ireland, and passing through the
town of Banbridge will join the Ulster Railway at or near the
town of Moira, and thus form (in continuation of the Dublin
and Belfast Junction Railway) the shortest and most direct commu-
nication between Dublin and Belfast ; and at the same time open
the greatest manufacturing district in the north of Ireland to the
ports of Belfast and Newry, and will also (in connexion with the
proposed Belfast and County Down Railway to Bangor and Donagh-
adee) be the most direct route, and by the shortest sea, to Scotland
and the north of England.
The country has been carefully examined, and, as the railway can
be constructed with favourable gradients at a moderato expense, and
the trade, manufactures, and population must secure an abundant
source of traffic, there cannot be any doubt of an ample return fbr
the capital invested

Ena.

The responsibility of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount
of their shares, and in the allotment a preference will be given to
the holders of stock in the co-operating companies.
Applications for Shares to be made to the Solicitors and Secre-
taries.

withdraw " their favourable views and disposal to support" the pro-
ject of the Great County Down Railway as heretofore expressed.

the inhabitants of the county of Down by the Railway Companies
now proposed to be established in it, viz., by " The Newry, Warren-
point, and Rosstrevor Railway Company," " The Belfast and County
Down Railway Company," and by the project now before this meet-
