THE object of this Company is to make a Railway from the
Ulster Railway, at Armagh, to Dublin, unconnected with
any of the parties promoting the Railways from Drogheda to
and now opposing each other in Parliament, (and one
of them advocating a coast, and the other an inland line,) and
to avoid either a line lengthened by several miles along the
coast, or an inland line, prolonged by attempting to connect
small towns, both of which would necessarily by attended with
considerably increased expense, the fixed and determined prin-
ciple being to have a communication by the shortest, most level,
and least expensive line between Dublin and Belfast by Ar-
magh, and_that the different Towns on each side of the line
should, if itbe considered expedient, establish Branch Railways.
To attain these objects, it is proposed that the line should
commence at the northern extremity of the City of Dublin,
cross the Royal Canal, proceed thence in a northern direction
towards the village of Ratoath, West of Duleek, and cross the
River Boyne, about five miles westward of the town of Droghe-
da, thence westward of Colon to Ardee, thence westward of
Newtown Hamilton, straight to the city of Armagh, and there
join the Belfast and Armagh Railway.
An Act having already passed for the Belfast and Armagh
Railway, Surveyors are now engaged taking in the Levels, and
making tile Surveys, Maps, Sections, and Estimates necessary,
in order to obtain an Act for the Armagh and Dublin undertak-
ing in the next session.—To defray these expenses, the Depo-
sits will be applied, as far as may be necessary, under the di-
rection of the Provisional Committee.

The Committee, as they deem expedient or when called upon
by holders of 1000 Shares, shall from time to time, call General
Meetings of the Shareholders. But so soon as the number of
Shares for each applicant shall have been allocated, a General
Meeting of the Shareholders must be called, and permanent Di-
rectors, committee, auditors, secretary, treasurer, &c. appointed.
General Meetings to be called by advertisements in the public
papers, giving at least ten days' notice. Shareholders resident.
at a distance greater than ten miles from Armagh may vote by
proxy; one vote to be allowed for each live Shares, but no one
Shareholder to have more than twenty votes, though possessing
more than one hundred Shares.

Communications have been had with the great landed propri-
etors, and others along the Line; and the undertaking has been
so well received as to give every reason to expect not only as-
sent, but co-operation and support.
The proposed line will complete the communication from the
metropolis of Ireland, by Belfast, to Scotland and the North of
England, and will obviously be the course of conveyance for
his Majesty's Mails, as well as for Passengers and Goods.
Applications for Shares to be made, in Belfast, to the Ulster
Railway-office, Fountain-street; in Armagh, to the Secretary,
or any of the Provisional Committee; •in Dublin, at the offices
of tiro Solicitors, and at Messrs. 80n..x, Low, Piss and Co.'s;
in London, to H. and J. JOHNSON and Co. ; in Manchester, to
Thomas CARDWELL ; in Glasgow, to J. MARTIN, and J. and G.
BURNS, and to Mr. AITKIN, Accountant; or in Liverpool, to
