Steps were taken about throe months past for the formation of this
Company, and applications were received for a large number of
Shares ; but before proceeding to an allotment, the Committee and
the Projector deemed it advisable to have direct information from
Jamaica on subjects connected. with the line—the probable cost of the
land through which it would pass—the engineering difficulties, if any
—and other matters connected with the line. They have received
this information and set it forth herewith.
The Provisional Directors have now determined to bring the Com-
pany forward, and to extend the line as far as Annotta Bay : the
principal towns to be thus con fleeted are
Montego Bay with Falmouth....
distance 20 Miles.
Falmouth Rio 8uen0.... 15
Rio Bueno Dry Harbour 5
Dry Harbour— St. Ann's Bay 17
St. Ann's Bay— Port Maria 18

84 Miles.

At the latter place it will join the line intended to be formed to
Kingston, and thus unite the most populous and rich districts of the
North with the South by a junction with the Jamaica Junction and
South Midland Line, and the c and shipping port of Kingston,
and afford a quick and cheap modes of transit for passengers and
goods; and, at the same time,._ will supply the
means of a daily com-
munication by post, instead of r a weekly one, under the present sys-
tem ; and whilst these facilities will be offered, it bids fair to prove
highly beneficial to the Shareholders •
, • for whoa it is considered that
the existing difficulties of appznaen from one town to another (no
mail or stage coaches running), and also the Wetness of many of the
harbours and inlets, are such as to retard the shipment of the pro-
duce of the soil and merchand ize ; it may be fair to presume that
afrom Kingston for sale or
this cheap and certain means of conveying passengers andgoods, shipment.rtion of it will find it ;3 way to and
Company.
This
goods, and
is formed try obviate these difficulties, and to offer
to open a more general communication, and thus promote the inte-
rest of the landowner, the pia rater, the agricniturist, the merchant,
and all other classes of per ons, and the very valuable island In
general.
The Directors are authoris ed to state that they anticipate every
support and patronage from lime Governor and Legislature of the
island ; and they wish to establish a perfect understanding be-
tween this and the other companies already formed, and, with this
view, they offer to give a preference of shares, to the extent of one
share for every two, held in the original Kingston and Spanish Town
Line, and the like proportion tc► the holders of shares in the Jamaica
Junction and South Midland Lines. provided they apply for them on
or before the 3d of September.
A reserve of shares will be nu tde for persons resident in Jamaica.
The applicants for shares u rider the former prospectus are at
liberty to withdraw their letters of application, or to permit them to
remain for consideration under the present plan.
