THE DIRECT LONDON AND HOLYHEAD
AND PORT DYNLLAEN RAILWAY.

(Provisionally Registered), -
Tie public is respectfully informed that a Company is in course of
formation for establishing a direct communication between London
and Holyhead and London and Port Dynllaen, thereby effecting
the @hottest possible communication between London, Birmingham,
and tin centre 0 England, and Dnglin sand the whole of Ireland
On reference to the Railway Map of Ireland it will be seen that
most of the lines in that country converge either at Dublin or Wick-
low, the former being nearly in a direct This with Holyhead and the
latter with Port Dynllaen. This undertaking will therefore unite in
one inatll 'Weft Nils* of the Irish traffic to this country; and when
the system of railway communication in Ireland is complete, will
doubtless obtain a very large proportion of the American passenger
traffic which will then pass by Port Dynllaen and Wicklow to Va-
lelitia Bay as the nearest point to the Vulteel States an our North
The present line is in effect nearly identical with that recom-
mended by the Government Commissioners in their reports on the
communication between London and Dublin, and whicb was then
surveyed with much care; snaking allowances, however, foy the al-
tered circumstauces that haw since occnfred by the increase of
railways in tills country, and availing itself as far as possible of ex-
isting or contemplated lines,
It is intended to proceed by the London and Birmingham Railway
to Birmingham, and thence by one of the now projected lines to
Shrewsbury, or another course will be by the London and Birming-
ham, Trent Valley, Trent Valley and Shrewsbury Railways to the
wine point, where his roiwv commences, and proceeds in the
most direct practicabie course to a oeini near Balla, where the line
forks; one branch proceeding to. Bangor, where it unites with the
Chester and Holyhead ai.d North Wales Railways, employing the
former lice to Holyhead, and thus avoiding the enormous expense
entailed by crossing the Menai Stotts ; the other branch proceeding
through a district rich in slate, stone, inin;:rals, &tu., by Tiesuadoe to
Port Dynliften, where it will also unite with the North Wales
Railway, which will prove a valuable adjunct to the present
ptoject.
The importance of the undertaking, not only to the great com-
panies to which It Will prove to 41113'4004 a feeder, hut uleo in a
national point of view, as effecting a most considerable saving of
time and expense on the route to Dublin and the coast of Ireland,
are too great to be overrated. and too obvious to be required to be
insisted upon. It is clear that the traffic must be unusually large,
and from tha surveys Ing(te Mare tppegrs pp donut that the Ike can
lie constructed at an average cost.
Full particulars, with the mum a of a most influential Provisional
Committee, will be published as soots as a correct estimate of the
requisite capital is obtained, and in the meantime no applications for
shares can he reccivon,
