I NCOME,

A very careful investigation of the Revenue to arise from the
Railway has been made, and the followink is the result:—
There are twenty-six public vehicles and six caravans, car-
rying fifteen passengers each, passing to and from Dublin,
Drogheda, Navan, and Slane, by the Inland line daily, and six
public vehicles, six Caravans, and two Mail Cars) on the Coast
line daily, making the number forty-six available for calcu-
tion. £ s. d.
Passengers :—These conveyances are generally '
'filled, but taking only twelve to each as the daily
average, we have 552 passengers daily, or
201,48) yearly. The charge now is 7s. for an
inside seat, and 4s. outside: let the Railway
fares be only 4s. for the first-class carriage, 3s. for
the second, and 2s. for the third, thus giving 3s.
as the average on 552, or a sum of £B2 16s. per
day, but, according to the principle that-the ex-
isting number of passengers may be doubled, we
have £165 I2s: per day,.or per, annum 60,444 0 0
There ale several Public Cars plying daily be-
tween the termini of :the Railway and towns on
the line between Dublin, Drogheda, and Nava.n;
carrying passengers; and, receiving £lO a day,
which doubled, as above, £2O a day; or per
annum 7,300 0 0

Postingand Carriage of private carriages..... 6,000 0 0
Transmissions of eight mails daily up, and
down, say 512 miles at sd. per riffle, or £lO 13s.
4d. per diem
Parcels on all conveyances, northward' ani

charged 9,100 0 0
Agricultural produce:—Corn, Flour, Butter,
for the several markets and shipment abroad, and
also Fruit, Vegetables, and Milk for the supply
of the bletropolis., This will form a most pro-.
duOtive source of income to the Company, say at
least • ' . 7,000 0 0
Carriage of Cattle, Sheep, .Lambs, and Poultry
for the supply of the Dublin Markets and ship-
ment forngland. The County of Meath is the
greatest grazing county in Ireland, and not only
supplies the Dublin Markets, .but also, with the
adjoining ceunties to the West, contiguous to the
line of Railway, supplies the Cattle shipped at
the Port of Dublin for-Liverpool and Bristol;
this is expected to produce at the lowest calcu-
lation 12,000 0 0

Carriage of Manure, Lime 1,500 0 0
Revenue to arise from Warehouses, Shops, &c
at Dublin Terminua

£113,137 6 8
We have here a fixed sum of £113,137 Gs. Bd. per annum,
mainly upon an existing trade' but the increased facility
afforded by this Railway for all Agricultural and Commercial
purposes to the industrious and peaceable population of the
North, and North-western districts of Ireland, daily increasing
in wealth and commercial prosperity, gives just hopes that this
Railway, which is locked upon to be a work of national benefit
and utility, will be. a source of increasing profit to the Company,
when the anticipated facilities and benefits of it will be felt
throughout a population of near 2,000,000 of inhabitants.
