THE LIVERPOOL

BUILDING COMPANY.
AMONG the various Plans submitted to the Public for the
formation of Joint Stock Companies to accomplish objects,
many of which are beyond the means of individuals success-
fully to undertake ou any very extensive scale, .it is strange
that none has yet been put forward, in connection with what
is of the last importance to Great Britain as a Commercial
people, namely, the improvement of the Mercantile Marine.
Without reflecting on the skill of those to whom has hitherto
been committed the Building of Merchant Ships, it will be ad-
mitted that something remains to be done in the way of im-
provement; and that this is more likely to be accomplished by
/
the united talent of a number of intelligent 'bads, acting in
concert, than by the single unaided skill of a one individual.
It is scarcely necessary to say anything a to the prospect of
profit which such an undertaking holds , nor of the extent
to which a well conducted establishine may be carried in
a port like Liverpool. Those Shipow. ers and Merchants to
whom this notice is principally addressed need not have the
advantages of a Joint Stock Company. for the Building and
Repairing all description of Vessels pointed out. They must
be obvious.

In the conviction that'a Company for such a purpose will
prove advantageous in -a. national point of view, and also a pro-
fitable undertaking to Subscribers, it has been determined to
form a Company, to be called "THE LIVERPOOL JOINT
STOCK SHIP BUILDING COMPANY," with a Capital
of £300,000, in 6000 Shares of £5O each, 2s. 6d. per Share to
be paid on allotment of Shares; and £lO per Share in one
month after the election of Ditectors (into such Bank as may
Le appointed.)
Future calls to be regulated as the Board of Directors may
determine.
The management of the Company shall be invested in twelve
Directors; five to be a quorum; three to retire annually, but'to
be re-eligible.
The usual details to he submitted and determined oh by the
Shareholders at the first General Meeting of the Subscribers,
-after the allotment of 'Shares.

" PROSPECTUS.
THE object of the present project is to form a line of Rail-
way whereby the trade and traffic of Dublin with the
North and North-western Districts of Ireland may be increased
and improved. The subject has undergone mature deliberation
and received the unanimous support of the Bankers, Merchants,
and Traders of Dublin, and the Gentry and Landowners of the
Counties of Meath, Longford, Cavan, the Towns of Granard,
Trim, Athboy, Kells, Navan, and various other Towns to be
benefited by the Railway, Petitions from which have been pre-
sented to Parliament.
The line that has been selected will be the sole medium of
transport for Passengers and Goods and all Agricultural Pro-
-dace to the North and North-western Districts of Ireland; 'it
Passe.s through a fertile and -highly-cultivated-country, benefits
many large Market Towns, and embraces the entire trade and
intercourse of one-half of Iteland, comprising all the manufac-
turing districts, and having no Canal or Water Carriage to
'compete with it. •
It is intended subseqUently to, extend the Line to Armagh,
'there to meet the Railway from Belfast. The Line to Navan
forms the Main Trunk for any of the contemplated Railways to
the Western Districts of Ireland.
The Public is aware that it is the object of another Company
to carry a line of Railway, coastwise, between Dublin and
Drogheda, to the total exclusion of the Inland Country. The
line of Railwai laid down by the opposing Company, adjoins
'Tule small '1 owns and Villages along the Coast, inhabited
SsnienV by Fishermen, and having no existing Trade or Traffic.
isalbr.iggan, the largest and only important rown on the line,
eontains a population of 3,016 inhabitants, and has but 325 fa-
milies engaged in trade, manufacture, and handicraft. The in-
tercourse by passengers is so trifling, that but six public vehi-
cles are employed throughout the entire line, and should there
be hereafter any increase of traffic, this Railway can always be
soecessfully opposed by Water Carriage along the Eastern
More,

The Coast line of Railway is nearly four miles longer than the
Inland line;—

Coast line to Drogheda, 32 miles 220 yards.
Inland line to Drogheda, 28 miles 530 yards.
Estimated Expense of the Coast line, as stated
by the Engineer, is
Estimated Ex ense of the Inland line to Dreg-
' heda P . 455,881 7 3
There is here, therefore, an admitted excess in the outlay of
t 144,000 also, in the annual expense of maintaining the two
lines, the excess of the expense on the Coast line over the In-
land line will be £lO,OOO a-year ; this last will be evident when
the situation of the two lines is considered ; the natural difficul-
ties of the Coast line if they can be surmounted by the skill of
the Engineer will be at an expense unexampled in the annals
ar Railway Engineering. By reference to the Plan, it will be
seen that real s a works are to be constructed at Contalf for a
Mile and ahalf—ean ar.m of the sea at Malahide for two miles, at
tell foot water to be crossed on an embankment forty feet high—
thirty feet of filling at I?ogerstewn strand for a distance of two
Tiles—nearly four miles of a cutting at Melverton sixty-five feet
,eeP—a sea embankment nn the shore towards Skerries, seventy
eet frOm the surface of the beach, and exposed to the whole
serce of the ocean—a tunnel under Thornhill, and a second Tun-
nel a mile long, to.be constructed under Melverton demesne.
''aeh works cannot be constructed at a less-rate than £30,000 a
if, intleed;.it be rssible to form a correct estimate of the
expense in such an undertaking. The costs of maintenance
Must be equally uncertain in amount, as the action of the Water
IT the shore may sweep away breakwaters and embankments,
although constructed feitthe purposes of security, with the ut-
Most skill, and with no regard to expense.

The linO commences on a level at the east side of Prussia-
nteet, in the City of Dublin, crossing Prussia-street and the
tiireular Road in a direct line, passes over the Royal Canal at
the tail of the 12th lock, where a station and warehouses can be

"rne, Docks, ad bour of u, at the uas

Market, terminus at Prussia-street is contiguous to Smithfield
market, where all Cattle are sold for the supply of the Liver-
repoolL and other English Markets, but can be further extended to
waste ground at Dominick-street, or to the end of Constitu-
"on-hill, where it would form a junction with the new street
lt,'Av proposed to the Pour Courts, and into the southern dirk-
lou of the Metropolis.
t°ll The Drogheda terminus affords great facilities for an exteit-
to Armagh, across the plains of Ardee, there to join the
Belfast and Armagh Railway.
tow ile Branch to Navan leaves the main trunk at Primates-
tn, sixteen and a half miles from Dublin, a little westward of
Al e mail-coach road, and terminates at the Boyne River at
Ivan, near the Upper Lock, at the point of junction of the
al navigation with the River.
t he line to Drogheda is the most direct line that can he
