This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and
Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Ross, proceed-
ing through a rich atricultural district, now devoid of railway ac-
commodation, to Abelgavenny, and from thence by Llanelly, Nant-
y-Glo, Tredegar, Ebba Vale, Rumney, and Dowlals, to Merthyr
Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Vale Railway. The dis-
tance will not exceed forty miles.
On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunction
with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction Railway, via
Ledbury, Malvern, and Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct
communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir-
mingham, South Staffordshire, and the north.
The population of Merthyr, and the surrounding mineral districts,
exceeds 120,000, and this line will place it in direct connexion with
the a;ricultural counties of Monmouth, Hereford, and Worcester.
The line will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommodation
to the principal ironworks in the district through which it will pass,
and a saving of ten miles over any other Unewill be effected between
Merthyr and Worcester, and other places north and east of that city.
Arrangements are its progress with the Worcester and South
Wales Junction Railway Company, for the mutual advantage of both
Companies.
Applicants for shares, who are personally known to members of
the Provisional Committee, are requested to refer to one of such

PROSPECTUS.
The object of this line of Railway Is to complete the chain of coast
eomuminication, 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 of Clare, Galway, Mayo,
and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis-
killen Railway, and accommodating on itsroute the imports.nt cities and
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Mouivea, Timm,
Dallinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilalla, Swineford,
streantstown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north,
mast, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London-
flarrY, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Kerry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valeutia,
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will sense Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
no other country in the world enjoys.
The country through which the proposed line travels is most fertile
In mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive
coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all parts of Connaught
and Ulster ; and intersecting, as It does, so many metropolitan lines
of railway, It will develop. those advantages •
in an equal degree to
We province of Leinster.
The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be
rendered available to the most distant parts of the island, and
Perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be
the establishment of an intercourse between the population of the
gems north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the
oftrade__ asl4 communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach
all towns of any importance in Ireland Added to this the cer-
