The present time seems to be peculiarly suitable for the establish ment of the proposed Linu of Railway. _The works upon the Inver ness and Nairn line have been commenced, and the contractors un dertake that the line shall be open for traffic by the Ist of August next. On the other hand, the chain of Railway communication on the south is complete as tar as the town of linntly, and measures are understood to be in progress for extending the line northward f. om Huntly. In these circumstances, it has been thought desirable to apply to Parliament, in the ensuing session for the incorporation of a Com pany for making a Railway from Nairn to Elgin, which shall com plete the communication between Inverness and Elgin. The com pany will thus be in a position to commence the necessary works next summer, and thereby, with the least possible delay, to place the fair and ancient province of Moray on such a footing, with regard to Railway communication, that the laying down of an ironway throughout its whole extent, from the Beauly to the Spey, and un interrupted connection with the Southern markets must immediately follow. With this view, applications have been made to all the principal proprietors along the line, who have, without exception, declared themselves favourable to the enterprise, and ready o afford facilities for its construction. The plans have been finishes!, minute estimates of the cost have been made, and the line has been gone over and examined by contractors of the highest respectability ; and the pro- Moters have no doubt that the works will he undertaken by them La* a sum which, together with the purchase of land, rolling stock, Dieliminary expenses, and all other charges necessary for tine com pletion of the undertaking, will certainly not exceed *400,0001., or 8 0 0 01. a mile, including bridges over the Nairn Findhorn, and Lossie. For this film the Company will be in ptsiession of a single line of railway—double wherever this is necessary for its efficient working —and with bridges built and land purchased r a double line; And the promoters are in a position to state, that the c ,ntrac tors with whom they have been In communication w ill be p re p ared to take Payment ot one•thlrd of the cost of the works in stock. The Engineering Works—from the level - nature of the country, and the light gravelly roil over which the line for the most part Passes —are of a simple character, and are certain to be completed Within the specified time. • Besides the large local traffic arising from the line passing through the centre of the richly cultivated and populous county of %I oray. this Railway, when connected with the Great North of Scotland Railway, now in progress of extension, will form part of the great through communication from Inverness by Aberdeen to the south. From the character of the count** the line can never be exposed to railway competition. Through the Inverness and Nairn Railway—with the directors of Which the proniOters of this undertaking are in cordial co-operation —the line will be enabled to communicate with the Caledonian Canal at Inverness, and thereby to establish a connection with the large and rapidly-increasing traffic flowing along that great artery of corn nautticatirn to it ,, cl from the counties of Bnnff, Moray, and Nairn. At its other extremity, the line will communicate with t , te Elgin and Lossiemouth Railway, and the port of Lossiemouth. Besides these, the Railway will receive the traffic; of the several ports of Nairn, Findhorn, and ilurehead. . _ Careful, observations of the traffic, made in 1845, with a view to a Railway from Inverness to Elgin, showing a local revenue amply sufficient to yield a liberal return upon a railway of a much more expensive nature. Since that period, however, the wealtl and traffic of the district have been materially augmented, and are still rapidly increasing. Taking the basis of the observations of 1845, the result will be as follows : Estimated amount of local revenue 421,000 0 0 Deduct 40 per cent. for working expenses 8,400 0 0 £12,600 0 0 Of Interest on 60,0004 borrowed ...... 2,000 0 0 Leaving.• ... ..••£10,600 0 0 For division, on a called•up capital of 150,0001., or a dividend of 7 per cent, immediately after the opening of the line, with the cer. tainty of a large eventual increase. The undertaking, therefore, presents these remitter advantages:- 1. It will be completed and opened for working in two years from the passing of the act. 2. It will cost only 8,0001. a mile, for a single line, while the average cost of railways in Scotland, with a double line o: rails, has been 30,0001. a mile. 3. While the average return per mile per annum; in Scotland, has been 2,0001., a sum of only 8501. per mile per annum, on this line, will yield a dividend of 7 per cent. 4. The line, from its situation, secures in perpetuity the whole through railway traffic passing northward of Elgin from Aberdeen, and passing eastward of Nairn from the Western and Northern Highlands. 5. The line will be worked in connection with the Inverness and Nairn Railway, under efficient Parliamentary powers, whereby the facilities of transit will he on the one hand greatly increased, while on the other hand the working ex penses will be greatly economised. 6. Lines of this character, constructed at a moderate cost, in the north of Scotland, have proved highly remunerative, as in stanced in the Lossiemouth and Deeside Railways, recently opened—both of which have returned dividends of 3 per cent. on the first year's traffic. 7. The promoters are justified in stating that payment of one third of the cost of the works will be taken in stock, as a • guarantee for the due completion of the undertaking, and in evidence of the conviction of its soundness as a commer cial enterprise.

Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are ? rinciples of personal manaremcnt which cannot be violated without i e tc e urr he in y g da g y o rie r inconsiderate un Pe'nnitie'and when wisdom and regret succeed h ' solf-inplgence, how these penalties Tay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, end how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any dove° of ally:llea] intlrmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid cf science cannot apply a cure.

In the preeent momentous pcs.tion of the Company's affairs, the Board of Dire tors consider it their (lu.y to address the Shireholders, ar,LL If possible, to arouse then to a sees of their sternal interests. At the General Meeting held 3 esterday, a etnnbinatt is of parties was seen. Who3e,objects were as diverse as the means by which Choy will be prepared to carry them out. One party, repreiented by v. Raikes Currie, dezirea to sell your ships, and wind no the affairs of the C mpany. A second party has not expret , s,d this object, but it has, by every means within he reach, endeavoured to gain a power which would enable the leaders to manage your affairs,—an office for which the Board believe them utterly unfitted. On the Chairman's motion yesterday, "That the report and accounts now presented to this meeting be received and adopted, and that a dividend at the rate of 5/. per cent. per annum be paid to the Shareholders for the last half-year, tree of income tax, the dividend to he payable on and after the 3Uth inst.," Mr. Raikes Currie proposed the following amendment— " That thii report be not adopted." Mr. Burton, whoie 'circulars it may i.e presumed every share holder has received, seconded that amendment, and he attempted an elaborate - analysis or the accounts then before the meeting. . His statements Provk d, 'without controversy, t Evo things :—First, that hell entirely ignorant of the nature of mercantile accounts; and second, that he had been grossly imposed upon. To many of his allegations a direct and positive contradiction was given, and in re lation to the ,accounts nhich lie had criticised, full and sufficient ex plaugions were afforded either by the Stipendiary Auditor or the Chairman. The eminent accountant, Mr. Co7eman, who is also a shareho'der, spoke to the substantial correctness of the accounts, though he ob jected to the form. Mr.'llutton was supported by a Shareholder, who is stated to be the accountant of a late Director, and who has published a state ment which the. Board does net hesitate to describe ai a gross per irerslon of figures. Mr. T. A. Mulkey spoke to the accounts, and he proposed as a further amendment that they should be referred to some two emi nent account nits. Gentlemen-I'o Mr. Hankey's proposition, just and reasonable in it►elf, the Chairman for b Imself and the rest of the Directors instantly assented. He sa d they would willing'y adopt that course. And why ? Because accounts rightly kept, and rightly vouched, will bear any examination, provided that examisation be conducted in an honest spirit for a proper end. Atter diScusilon, Mr. Raikes Currie expressed a wish to withdraw his amendment, that that of Mr. Hankoy might be put, and Mr. Hutton and his friepds refused him what he sought. Well, gentlemen, the report was to be rejected—the Board werefo be treated with contumely —you were to be refused a dividend, be cause the accounts were alleged to be incorrect ; and the proposition to have them examined by dispassionate and competent persons is refused all consideration. Do you require a stronger proof that a faction is attempting to sacrifice your Interests to its own desire of power? The amendment of Mr. 'Nikes Currie was finally carried by a show of hands, and the shareholders, opposed to that resolatloo, de manded a ballot. The meeting then adjoiarned to the hour of noon on the 22d inst., et the London Tavern, when the result of the ballot will be declared, and the business proceeded with. Whet' the meeting re assembles, if Mr. Hankey should not sdhere to his. intention of cloying a resvlution as to the accounts, the Chairman, on behalf of the Board, is prepared to mOVe that they shall be submitted to the examination of one or . more eminent accountants. In the Report, the Board felt itself obliged to speak with reserve; but the conduct of the patty now opposed to its policy compels a plain statement, whatever may be its influence eu the Company's interests. The question of a Dividend is entirely for your decision. However the ac counts may be dealt with —whatever ma y b e th e value put on the s e veral assets, this at least is a fact w hi c h i s no t to be disproved, that d ur i ng the first six months of this year a ne t profit of 34,9951. 19s. 4d was realised, and the assets were increase d by the sum of 57,6421. 3e. 6d. During the six months now current the year, profit derived from the 1 employment of your ships , has been very large ; that must cent doue n for some time l onger, for ' they are chartered for periods which not 'expire Without n o ti ce ; and the Board have little doubt tha t eac h of your ships, as sh e re t urc s from Australia , will be chartered. i Nearly fivie months of th e half year have expirsd, and therefore It in le not bold to state th a t your gains during the present half - , elusive of that on the s a l e of the _Prince, will be, it is catenate d, from stMety to one hundred thousand pounds from the elovernment alone. . The, Company's gresi receipts, inclusive - of the charter of the In - liana, are 28,7411. per month,' the Government providing fuel. Ym The argument whi c h the Board wish to pre,ent to these share holders who seek to sell the Company's property forthwith is this — that the advanta ges derived from the resent emPlo nt of the Ships are much in excess of any reasonable depreciation, whether it arise from the ch terioratisn o f property ; or d epress i on in the de mand for steam ers, or from both. • Gentlemen, the B oard repeat that at the proper time the Directors would gladly, with your permission, sell a part or the whole of your fleet. If you r e f use them 3 our confidence, and restrict their discre tion, Insisting on an immediate sale, or within a limited period, You wi 1, without a doubt, inflict on yours e l ves a heavy and disastrous loss. e At the general meeting the directors affirmed, th rou g h the Chair man, that they are prepared to resign their places to any gentlemen who are independ en t or the baneful infl uen ces which have so long hem at work ; but t h ey are equally resolved by every means wh ic h den be legally and honourably used, to re sist the objects of the fac tious movement, whi ch they have not hesitated to denotince. The Board earn est l y urge you to look to To evade that provision of your deed which limits the numb r of vote.; in proportion to.the i ncrease of stOck, shares have been trans ferred for a nominal , ons aeration to persons (clerks and there) by whose means greater power may be exerted at your meetings. Such expedients may be pursued to a greater extent. the warning is given. and it Is for you to profit by it.

We have been favoured with an extract from the letter of a medical officer on board the Queen of the South, which sailed from Portsmouth for the Crimea, on the 27th ult., having on board draughts for various regiments, and, amone , others, for the Guards, under the command of Lord Adolphus Vane, M.P., Mr. Ponsonby, M.P., and other officers. TA letter states that the Queen of the South arrived at Malta on the 9th instant —all well. We are sorry to learn, by accounts from the Crimea, that Major Nasmyth (of Siliatria renown) is ill, and Unable to attend the duties of his new appointment-- aide-de-camp to Sir John Burgoyne. Sir De Lacy Evans was on board the Simootn, laid up from diarrhoea and the effects of a fall from his horse. The three wounded captains of the 17th Lancers, Norris, White, and Webb, have arrived at the hospital at Scutari. Captain Webb had his leg amputated. Sir William Gordon, of the 17th, bad also arrived, as well as Capt. Maude, of the Royal Artillery ; Captains Elmsall and Campbell, and Cornet Hartopp, of the Royal Dragoons ; Captain Brown, of the 44th ; Cornet the Hon. G. Ne ville, of the sth Dragoon Guards ; Lieutenant Clutter buck, of the Bth, and Lieutenants Trevelyan and Hough ton, of the 11th Hussars. Lieutenant Houghton was bet slightly wounded. Brevet Major Coats, 55th, and Vandeleur Breedon, Byrne, and Marten, had also ar rived sick. DEPARTURE OF STEAMERS FOR TOULON. The Oriental Company's steamier Ripon left South ampton yesterday morning for Toulon to take French troops to Sebastopol. The Esk left the same port in the course of the day for Portsmouth and the Crimea, with forage and biscuit. Within six days six steamers have been despatched from Southampton for the pur pose of carrying troops, provisions, and ammunition to the Allied forces at Balaklava, viz., the Manilla, Candia, Rajah, Thames, Ripon, and the Esk. Some of these ships have been despatched at two or three days' notice. So urgent was it for the steamers to leave ferToulon that the Oriental Company's steamer the Candia could not wait for some of her stores, and had to take those on board the West India Company's steamer Thames, be cause the latter wasnot ready to start for a day afterwards. All the steamers which have left Southampton for Toulon have had stalls fitted up on board of them for 10 or 12 horses. It is ; expected that the Indus which left Southampton for Alexandria with a mail, on the 4th inst., will be stopped at Malta, and made to carry on a regiment of English soldiers to the Black Sea. Per emptory orders were received at Southampton for the Esk to start immediately for Clarence-yard to take out about seventy tons of hay and a large quantity of bis cuit. A private letter has been received at Southampton from the seat of war, which states that reinforcements are much wanted there on account of the hard work to which every fighting man is subjected in labouring in the trenches. The Indiana, which is now about to start for Toulon, has been fitted up according to a plan designed by Mr. Croskey, the American consul, for the conveyance of a large number of passengers to America. This plan is found well adapted to convey a very large number of troops. The Euglisit mail packets, it is ex pected, will each make a couple of trips from Toulon to Balaklava with French soldiers. We are gratified to be able to state that there is no truth in the report circulated by a cotemporary that Major DeSails, Bth Husars, was seriously wounded at the battle of Balaklava. Major DeSalis's horse was seriously hurt, but he escaped uninjured, THE WAR AND THE RECRUITING SERYIOE.—Never, during the last sixteen years, has recruiting been RO active in Leeds as at the present time. We have now in Leeds recruiting parties from various regiments of horse, foot, artillery, and two regiments of militia, viz., the 2d and 3d West York. As soon as hostilities actu ally commenced, there was a visible increase in the number of recruits ; and this increase has became greater week by week. Since the invasion of the Crimea the war spirit amongst the young men of the district has been roused to an unprecedented height ; and it is quite surprising to witness the large number of recruits that are daily attested before the sitting magistrates at the court-house. C O RK CITY MILITIA. — Ou Wednesday there was con siderable activity in town, enrolling volunteers for the Cork City Militia, and a large number was admitted. The bounty is Gl. per man.

PROPOSED GOVERNMENT OFFICES, DOWNING- STREET.. We understand that three gentlemen had an interview with Sir William Mo!esworth, at his office in Whitehall. place, on Friday, and submitted to the right hon. baro net some ground plans' and elevations for new public offices in Downino - -street, on a very ex t ens i ve sca l e, an d which while affording ' to the officials that accommoia tion of which they stand -so greatly in need, would be a rtriking ornament to the metropolis. The idea is to erect a block of buildings, with a facade to Whitehall, of which the buildings now occupied by the Council Office and Board of Trade should form one wing, with another similar wing extending down King-. street, and joined by a very handsome centre of great elevation, with a: magnificent entrance archway, and giving a frontage of nearly 700 feet in length towards Whitehall. It is then proposed to carry the building (on the side next the Horse Guards) at a right angle, into the park, with a front extending 400 feet, likewise having a handsome centre and archway, then carrying down another cent re in the park, looking westward , * Fimilar to, and parallel with. the proposed one in White hall ; with a fourth front, also at right angles, in Charles•street, similar to the north one in the park. Thus forming an oblong mass of buildings with four faccades of great beauty, affording an enormous amount of public convenience. As in these times of war the Government or the country might not be disposed to embark in a scheme involving an outla7y of more than half-a-million of money, the !gentlemen who submitted the plans to Sir William Molesworth, offered to construct the buildings on the grant of an annuity of 32,0001. for fifty years. The Government are, it is asserted, now paying near 25,0001. a year, for rent and repairs, for disconnected buildings, ill adapted for this purpose ; so that should this proposal be accepted, at the end of fifty years the Government would be in possession of beautiful and commodious offices by the additional payment of about 7,0001. a year ;- whilst at the end of that time the great annual outlay of 25,0001. will cease altogether. Sir William received the gentlemen with the greatest courtesy, thanked them for showing him the plans, and appeared to be much struck with the beauty and extent of the design. He doubted whether the ground required could be purchased at what •they had estimated it, and informed them that plans were .already being prepared by the Government architect, but of a much less exten sive kind. Means will be taken forthwith to enable the public to form their own opinion of the merit of the designs sub mitted to Sir William Moleswortb. CLASGO TV UNIVERSITY. GLASGOW, WEDNESDAY. The election of Lord Rector of Glasgow University took place this day, the retiring rector being the Earl of Eglinton. Three candidates were proposed, viz., Mr. Disraeli, M.P., by the Conservatives, Mr. Thomas Carlyle by the Liberals, and the Duke of Argyll by the Presbyterian section of both parties. The contest was conducted with the usual keenness, the turmoil being confined to the boys and lads in the college. Mr. Car lyle was withdrawn at a late hour, when the students went to the vole on the two other candidates, and the result was that the Duke of Argyll was elected by a majority in all the nations. The state of the vote was as follows : _ Argyll. Disraeli. Natio Glottiana . Londoniana Transfostbana - Rothseyana A protest was taken against, the validity of the Duke's election, on the ground that his Grace is Chancellor of the University of St. Andrew's, and that it is therefore illegal to hold offices in two colleges. The office of Lord Rector is almost a nominal one. Upon installation he delivers an address, and no more is heard of him. Under present circumstances, it may he found that a member of the Cabinet has something else to occupy his time than that of preparing an essay for the Glasgow students. THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND ME MORNING ADVERTISER. A special general meeting of the Inoorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers wa4 held at the London Tavern yesterday, at three o'clock, for the purpose of coming to a final decision as to the management and editorship of that paper. It was by far the largest meeting of the kind that had ever assembled, being limited to members of that society. A feud has existed amongst the licensed victuallers for the last three months, arising out of the Sale of Beer Bill, which passed in the last session. That bill, by limiting the hours of public-house trading on Sunday, curtails the profits of the suburban publicans. These persons became very discontented, and complained that the Morning _Advertiser had not fought their battle with zeal and energy ; and they passed, in September, at the usual quarterly meeting, a vote of censure on the manag ing committee of the paper. Not willing to remain under this stigma, the committee convened a special meeting yesterday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the following re solutions, which were avowedly intended to nullify the effect of the resolution adopted at the last quarterly meeting : "That this court, finding that erroneous impressions have boen made upon the public mind that most important obaigos iu the committee and in the editorial management of the Morning Advertiser have been effeeted by its pro prietary, hereby declare that no.such changes have taken place ; and it is further of opinion, that any change in the political or general principles advocated by that jour. nal would be injurious to its best interests. " That this court, therefore, pledges itself by every means in its power, to assist the editor and oommittee to increase the circulation of the Morning Advertiser, and with that view would specially recommend that the editor be instructed and empowered to add to the staff supplying literary talent, and commercial intelligence." These resolutions were met by an amendment, pro posed by the leader of the malcontent party, to the effect, " That a change be made in the editorial department of the Morning Advertiser, and that some gentleman of high literary talent be appointed to sueosed the present editor, am the termination of his existing engagement." This brought the vote to a distinct "aye" or "no" en the single question of dismissing the editor. And after 'early four hours' discussion, the vot© was taken, when there appeared : FOr . the original resolutions 517 For the amendment, to dismiss the editor 212 Majority --305 So ends, we suppose, this quarrel. The chief point on which the public can feel any interest is this : The meeting of yesterday consisted entirely of pub licans, 729 in number, brought together from all parts of the metropolis. This ground of quariel was the new Sale of Beer Bill. This was the crime charged against the editor, that he bad not oppnsed the bill. All who really disliked that bill, or nearly all, were arrayed against hina. Yet, when the vote was taken, they num bered only 212 out of the whole 729. The conclusioa is inevitable ; the Sale of Beer Bill is not so unpopular, even with the publicans themselves, as some people have attempted to represent it to be. THE MORNING ADVERTISER. Our readers will find in another part of our paper, a report of the proceedings at the great meeting of the Proprietors of the Morning Advertiser, held at the Lon. don Tavern yesterday. It will will be observed, that there were from 700 to 800 persons present, being by far the largest meeting of the proprietors ever held since the establishment of the paper, upwards of sixty years ago. We do not point, in terms, of exultation, to the result of the division, which affirmed, by a majority of 517 to 212, that no changes have takes place in the Committee of Management or in the Editorial department of this journal, and that the paper will continue to be conducted on the same political and general principles as before, --though it may well be supposed how great is the gratification with which we regard that result. Never, we venture ute to say, in the records of journalism, has a more s r battle been fought for the Freedom of the the one which has been carried on in the person s Committee of Management and Editor of t t hi without one moment's intermission, during h s e last two P re Press f o than the months.

At the Manchester Borough Court, on Friday, the 17th inst., before Mr. Maude ' stipendiary magistrate,, Mr. B en j am i n Street, of Worksworth, Grand Master of the Independent Order of Oddfellews of the Manchester Unity, was summoned to appear at the suit of J. Palmer, formerly a member of the St. Olave Lodge, London dis trict, to show cause why the plaintiff was expelled from the lodge to which he formerly belonged, under a reso lution of the general.board of directors of the Manchester Unity Friendly Society. The defendant objected to the jurisdiction of the mag i strate, as the laws of the St. Olave s Lodge and those of the London district, as well as those of the Manchester Unity, were registered under the Friendly Societies Act, and that the board of direc tors, which he represented, were appointed in conformity with the 2.2 d section of the act, both in the lodge, dis trict, and general laws, final arbitrators in cases of dis pute between any of the members or lodges of the Man chester Unity. The magistrate, after a lengthy and careful investigation, dismissed the case, observing that his jurisdiction only extended to those societies which had not pointed out in their own rules the manner in which their disputes should be settled, or in cases where these provisions had not been complied with. It ap• peared that the plaintiff had availed himself of the various courts of appal and arbitration which the laws of the society to which he belonged legally recognised, and must consequently abide by the adjudication of the directors, as the final court of appeal. This decision is most important to the members of affiliated bodies of the friendly society class, inasmuch as many branches have declined to avail themselves of the protection accorded by the Friendly Societies Act, under an impression that the clauses inserted purposely for the object of securing the power of self-government and the settlement of their disputes within themselves would prove *elusion when reduced to practice. This decision must have a salutary effect amongst the numerous lodges and districts yet unenrolled. THE SURMAN TESTIMONIAL. We observe that the approaching meeting of the Lon don Sacred Harmonic Society is to be distinguished by the presentation of a testimonial to Mr. Surman, the gentleman who has been the conductor to the society from its commencement, and who for many years was the conductor of a kindred society, whose concerts are also held in Exeter-hall. Mr. Sermon deserves well from the admirers of sacred music, for the ability which he has uniforinly displayed in the selection of his sub jects, and his control of the large masses, whose excel lentu training and efficient performance have been the re sults of his skill in teaching, and his power as leader of these monatre performances. Sines this thegentleman s acSa c red commenced Harmonic Society,his labours gr e asg r eat ptrhoesseg rcondhas bector en of n made in diffusing a taste for sacred music in the metro polis and throughout the country ; and we believe no one who is acquainted with the history of the , musical world in this metropolis for the last twenty years, needs to be told of the large share Mr. Surman has had in the great prog ress which musical science has made. The concerts o this gentleman in Exeter-Hall, in point of time, took the lead in the successful efforts to procure for the public a superior class of music on terms within their reach ; and among those who have laboured with honour and success in this field, there is no one who has stronger claims on the public gratitude than the veteran to whom the London Sacred Harmonic Society, aided by all the friends of harmony and social progress, is about to do honour on the forthcoming occasion, on Monday next, the 20th inst.—Morning AdvertEeer.

Some of them (rather keen hands, too) have bought large quantities of what they took for very superior cheeses, but which have proved to be only skin. Died, on the 13th inst., Frederick Rowton, Esq., of London, one of the directors of the National Freehold Land Society. His death will be a serious loss to the society, as he was a gentleman of great energy, ability, and perseverance. MUNIFICENT BEQUESTS.
