It is proposed:to form a railway from the south to the north of
Ireland, commencing at Limelick and ending at Clones, a distance
of P 42 miles, with a branch from Parsonstown, through Itoscrea,
to Templemore, of 18 miles. This railway will proceed north..
wards by Killaloe, Nenagh, Cloughjordan, Shinrone, Parsonstown,
Banagher, Shannon Harbour, Athlone, Ballymahon, Kenagh, Long-
ford, Gratiard, Arvagh, Cavan, and Ballyhaise, to Clones, at which
point it will meet the traffic supplied by the Belfast and Bally-
mena, the Ulster, the Newry and Enniskillen, the Dundalk and
Enniskillen, and the Coleraine, Londonderry and Enniskillen Rail-
ways, thus concentrating, in its northern terminus, the intercourse
of all the lines in that important portion of the country; and on
the south, being in direct communication with the various existing
and projected lines to Cork, Waterford, Limerick, Tralee, &c.,
it will bring the two extremes of the kingdom into immediate con.
nexion, effectually open up the interior of the country, and neces-
sarily tend to develop its almost hidden resources, while the fact
of the line crossing the direction of all the channels of communi.
cation from cast to west of the country, without competing with
any of them, forms a singular and strikingly advantageous feature
in the undertaking. _ _

Detailed prospectuses, with a plan, ar,d forms of applications
for Shares, may be obtained on application to the secretary, to the
Solicitors, or any of the principal Stock and Sharebrokers in the
kingdom, through any of whom applications may be transmitted,
and at the London Offices of the Company.
London, England, 1845-10-07

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 commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor-
therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, 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, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ratline, Kilalla, Swineford,
Strearastown, and Sligo, which tr wit being connected with the north,
east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London-
derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valeutia,
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
no other country in the world enjoys.

This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a railway
In extension of the several important lines which it is intended shall
terminate at or near King's-cross, and the line will proceed from
thence to a point at or-near Furnival's Inn and Holborn Bars, where
it is proposed to erect a great central metropolitan terminus. This
terminus will fonn the north front of a considerable portion of the
widest part of Holborn, between Leather-lane and Gray's Inn-lane.
The site selected is obviously the most convenient for the concen-
tration of the traffic of all the railways issuing from London, either
to the north or in a north-easterly or north-westerly direction.
The situation, moreover, presents very great facilities for exten-
sions, in the direction of the railways, to the east and to the south of
London.
The property necessary to be taken . for the line and terminus is
not of a valuable character, and there will be no interference with
any existing buildings of any consequence.
The surveys are in a state of forwardness, and will be ready to
enable the Company to proceed to Parliament next session.
The capital has been fixed at 800,000/., but the estimates hitherto
received lead the Committee to expect that a smaller stun may
suffice.
A preference in the allotment of shares will bo given to scrip-
holders in the Direct Northern Railway, but this Company is esta-
blished as a separate undertaking.

It is satisfactory to the promoters to state that they haVe the sanc-
tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the
Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and
the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has
been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on public
support.

The whole Elle is free from engineering difficulties, and can bo
constructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the
landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro-
tected.

Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of
Management, who are hereby empowered to enter Into such arrange-
ments as shall best serve the interests of this Company, and the public,
with existing or projected Companies, and also to nominate the first
Directors of the Company.
Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of
shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four
per cent. Interest on the calls.

Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally
interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.

No application for shares czn in any case be attended to, unless
reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors,
Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 'TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was very quiet
again, and the sales amounted to 2,500 bales only °Prices
were rather in favour of the buyers. A good business was
done in Shar,:e, nor at higher rates.
A copsidirable, degree uf importance is attached to the
result of the lar;e vales of cattle, &c., which take place at
thi season of the year in various parts of the United Kingdom
and we may safely affirm, on the authority of the most prac-
tical seen, that for many years prices have not been so
high as those that have for the last few months been realised.
The conclusion is, that (not forgetting the fact that food has
been comparatively scarce) the consumption of the country
has been rapidly on the itcrease, and that employment to
the labouring classes is much more general than
for a very considerable time past. A fair test of the condi-
tion of the markets for cattle, sheep, &c., in Ireland, will
be afforded by the result of the great and important
fair at Ballinasloe, which commenced on Saturday
last. The flock masters of Ireland contemplate a
rich harvest this year, as the demand is great, and the
sheep, cattle, and pigs in very good condition. The Prowl- •
sion Markets here are in a very firm condition, and trade in
general may be said to be in a most healthy posi-
tit.n. The apprehensions of some parties that
railway extension must injure the regular trade of
the country, are most certainly without the shadow
of foundation, as wherever the labouring classes are more
extensively employed the greater will be the demand
for manufactured goods as well as the neces-
saries and the luxuries of life. As for the
deposits locked up temporarily on account of new railway
projects they come out of the pockets of those who can well
afford to permit it to remain inactive fir a few months.
There have not been any arrivals of the least importance
to-day.
The Consal Market has been very firm to-day at 981,11 for
the Account, and at 98% to % for Money. Not much busi-
ness has been transacted. Exchequer-bills are in demand at
525. to 545. premium.
The dealings in the Foreign Stocks were but few to. day.
Mexican were sold at 32% and %; the Portuguese Four per
Cents. -at 60% ; Spanish Five per Cents. at 273,1, %; the
Three per Cents. at 384 ; the Belgic Four per Cents. at an
improvement from 9914 to 9914 ; and the Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. 5931 to COILA.
The Railway Share market has been exceedingly firm
to-day, and generally prices have an upward tendency.

" The feVer still prevailing on board, the first measure
deemed necessary was that the ship should be kept in strict
quarantine.
" 2. That the healthy should be separated from the sick.
The steamer was theretbre ordered to the Foul Bill Quarantine
Station at Standgate-creek; and an• arrangement having
been made with the Lords of the Admiralty by which two
ships in ordinary, with a proper supply of bedding, &c.,
were ordered to be placed at the disposal of th' Superin-
tendent of Quarantine st Standgate. With the view of per-
sonally superintendity, the arrangements, we proceeded to
Standgate-creek, and having ascertained the number of
officers and mPit who had hitherto escaped an attack of the
fever—viz. 41, they were directed to be immediately trims-
. ferret] to the Revenge, having first undergone the operation
of ablution, and afterwards supplied with clean clothing and
bedding. All thos., who had recovered from the fever, tom
ther with such number of convalescents as were in a state-to
be moved, were directed to be transferred to the Benbow,
leaving only on board the steamer the sick, and such num-
ber of officers and men as the Commander might think ne-
cessary- ; the Kt oomen also to remain on board (not one of
whom had been attacked with fever), excepting such number
as might be thought necessary to assist on board the Revenge
or Benbow.

" Since the 30th ult. three seamen have died, but we are
happy to state that no fresh case of fever has occurred since
the 29th ult., and that at present there are only two men
confined to bed with the fever, and 11 convalescents, under
the care of the two medical officers, a surgeon and assistant-
surgeon, who have been on board ever since the Eclair sailed
from Madeira ; and we have a confident hope, from the pre-
sent state of the crew and the measures adopted, that the
progress of the disease is arrested.—We have the honour to
be, Sir, your obedient servants,

to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cosier, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester. _ _ .

Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

THE WONDER!

A. PERFECT CAMPHINE LAMP!!
Surely, all will say a desirable object is attained. A Lamp,
producing a star of dazzling flame, the light of twenty candles, and
no more expense than two candles, so easy in management that any
domestic can trim it. It cannot emit blacks or smoke, the Lamp
being so constructed that the light will not rise after being put at
the height required. No complication ! All other Camphine Lamps
bend before it. It reigns triumphant, " The Perfect Camphine Lamp."
Table Lamps, Hall Lamps, and Kitchen Lamps, and any person's
pedestal fitted in a very superior style for 235., complete.
To be seen burning at Clark and Co.'s, 447, West Strand. Clark
and Co. have also a New Patent Oil Lamp, unquestionably the best
ever made. All Lamps can be fitted.

The trade supplied with the Camphine and Oil Lamp.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The material RIPPON and BURTON offer to the Public has
for the last ten years been found equal to silver in appearance and
sweetness, and superior to it in durability. Of the prices of tea•sets,
waiters, candlesticks, and all articles hitherto made in silver, a detailed
catalogue, with engravings, will be sent (gratis) post free.

GRE SHA M AVENUE ASSOCIATION,
30, liacklersbury, March 10, 1845.
At a SPECIAL MEETING of the PROVISIONAL COMMIT-
TEE, held this day, it was resolved

That, being advised that serious objections are likely to be raised
in Parliament against that part of the scheme of the Association re-
lating to Life Assurance, as involving the principle of a Tontine, the
Committee, therefore, deem it expedient to abandon that part of their
original plan for raising the capital of the Association.
That the capital be raised by the issue of 3,000 shares of 1001. each,
not: subject to a contingency upon life, and that the profits of the
Association be divided annually.
That those subscribers who have paid their deposits upon the plan
originally announced, may, on or before Monday, the 94th inst., re-
ceive back the same, without deduction, upon application at the
Office, and those who are desirous of transferring their subscription
to the present scheme, are requested to signify the same on or before
that day.

That applications for the unappropriated shares will be• received
until Monday, the 24th March inst., when the same will be forth-
with allotted.

Prospectuses may be obtained and plans may be seen on applica-
tion at the Offices, No. 20, Bucklersbury ; and of the solicitors,
Messrs. 'Bischoff and Cox, 19, Coleman-street.

COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS.

Mr. DUNCOMBE wished to ask a question of the
Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home
Department, with reference to a petition pre-
sented the other evening from the miners
of the county of Durham, praying for
inquiry into the cause of the explosions
unfortunately so frequent in the collieries of the north.
There prevailed an opinion that the lives of those indi-
viduals were not properly cared for; and he wished,
therefore, to know whether it was the intention of the
Government to introduce a measure for the better
securing of the lives of miners. Failing any such
intention, he would ask whether there could be any
objection to the appointment of a Committee to take
the subject into consideration ?
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that the subject
had received the especial consideration of the Govern-
ment; and after the recess, he should be prepared to
lay on the table of the house the report of the in-
spectors of mines, together with the objections of the
coal owners to the rules which they prof os and he
thought that some measure might then be adopted of
a satisfactory nature.
SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL.
Mr. MACK INNON presented a petition from
the Board of Commerce in Glasgow, from the Guild
of that city, and from several other bodies in that city ;
from a place in the county of Somerset; another from
several individuals in London and Westminster;
and another, signed by 5,600 inhabitants of Glas-
gow, in favour of this Bill. He had also
to say that petitions would be presented from
Manchester and Leeds in favour of the Bill. The
Hon. Gentleman said that in consequence of the
great mass of business which was to be brought on
to-night, he should merely move the second
reading,► pro forma, and take the discussion on
some future evening. Indeed he thought that from
the great exertion which the members of the Govern-
ment had to undergo, and especially from the
grievous imposition on the Speaker, Wednesday
ought to be a day or rest. For these reasons he
should move that the sill be read a second time this
