It is proposed to form a Railway from the South to the North of Ireland, commencing at Limerick and ending at Clones, a distance of 122 miles, with a branch from Parsonstown, through Roscrea to Templemore, of eighteen miles. This Railway will proceed northwards by Killaloe, Nenagh, Cloghjordan, Shinrone, Parsonstown, Banagher, Shannon Harbour, Athlone, Ballymahon, Kenagh, Longford, Granard, Arvagh, Cavan and Ballyhaise to Clones, at which point, it will meet the traffic supplied by the Belfast and Ballymena, the Ulster, the Newry and Enniskillen, the Dundalk and Enniskillen, and the Colerain, Londonderry, and Enniskillen Railways ; thus concentrating, in its northern terminus, the intercourse of all the lines in that important portion of the country ; and on the south, being in direct communication with the various existing and projected lines to Cork, Waterford, Limerick and Tralee &c., it will bring the two extremes of the kingdom into immediate connection, effectually opening up the interior of the country, and necessarily tend to develop its almost hidden resources, while the fact of the line crossing the direction of all the channels of communication from East to West of the country without competing with any of them, forms a singular and strikingly advantageous feature in the undertaking.

A preference will be given to the Shareholders in the existing Companies in connection with this line, in the allotment of Shares.

No application will be attended to that does not contain a reference to a Banker, Solicitor or other person of well known respectability.

Detailed Prospectuses, with a plan, and forms of Applications for Shares, may be obtained on application to the Secretary at the offices of the Company ; to James Bryden, Esq., 19 Moor gate street ; to the Solicitors ; and to the following Share and Stock Brokers:
Dublin – Labertouche & Stafford;
London – Carden & Whitehead, Threadneedle street
Liverpool – Henry Waterton
Belfast – Theobald Bushel
Cork – William Connell
Limerick – Sarah Mahony & Son ; and Mark T. O’Shaughnessy
Manchester – John Duncuft ; and W. W. Heap & Co.
Birmingham – W. H. Collis & Smith
Leeds – Chambers & Boyes
Edinburgh – Robert Allan

through any of whom applications may be transmitted ; and at the Offices of the Company
