INCOME,

A very careful investigation of the Revenue to ariee from the
Railway has been made, and the following 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, the Inland line daily, and six
public vehicles, six caravans, and two Mail Cars, on the Coast
line daily, snaking the numoer 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
201,450 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. foc
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 12s. per day, or per annum 60,414 0 ()
-There are several Public Cars plying daily be-
tween the termini of the Railway and towns on
the line between Dublin, Drogheda, and Navan,
carrying passengers, and receiving £lO a day,
which doubled, as above, £2O a day, or per
annum. 7,300 0 0

charged ... 9,100 0 0
Agricultural produce:—Corn, Flour, Butter,
for the several markets and shipment abroad, and
also Fruit, Vegetables, and Mitt for the supply
of the Metropolis. This will form a most pro-
ductive source of income to the Company, say at
least
Carriage of Cattle, Sheep, Lambs, aad Poultry
for the supply of the Dublin Markets and ship-
meat for England.• The County of Meath is the
greatest grazing county in Ireland, and not only
supplies the Dublin Markets, but also, with the •
adjoining cc unties 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

We have here a fixed sum of £113,137 63.8 d. per annum,
mainly upon an existing trade, but the increased facility
afforded by this Railway for all Agricultural 'and .Cominercial
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 looked 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
throtyzhout a populatiou.of near 2,030,003 of inhabitants.
