In submitting to the public a scheme for the construction of a rail way along the south shore of the Moray Frith, and connecting the towns of Inverness, Nairn, Forres, and Elgin, the Committee con sider that there is no situation in Scotland which affords a more cer tain prospect of profitable Investment. The coe ntry through which it passes is nearly a perfect level. The length of the line, with the branches to the ports, is 444 miles. The main line passes from Inverness to Elgin, through the towns of Nairn and Forres. The whole adjacent district is rich and fertile, and con talus a large and thriving population. It includes ten of the most im portant market towns of the north of Scotland, in which at least fifty considerable markets are annually held. Within this district, also, and branching off to the south of the main line, Its the fertile valleys of the Spey, Findhorn, and Nairn, and the Great Glen of Scotland, between which and the different towns along the line, and the sea-ports, there is an extensive and daily increasing intercourse. This district is so situated, that all the main highways tYom the north and west, including those by the ferries of Kessock and Fort George, centre upon it. Besides the ports of Inverness, Nairn,, Findhorn, Burghead, and Lossiemouth, it comprises the basins and quays of the Caledonian Canal, and the military station of Fort George. Along the main line from Inverness to Elgin, besides a large pas senger traffic, by posting and private conveyances, there are eight daily coaches (four each way). The traffic must be greatly increased when a more rapid communication is opened up between the termini and the intermediate towns and villages. Another and large additional traffic will be brought upon the line by the London, Leith, and Aberdeen steamers, which call at Lossle mouth arid Burghead, landing their passengers for Inverness, Nairn, and the country beyond, at either of these ports, instead of taking them, as at present, by the circuitous route to luvergordon, where they are detained for several hours. The line will also afford great additional facilities to the trade which has hitherto been carried on by a steamer and sailing vessels, plying between the Moray and Nairnshire coast and the Little Ferry in Sutherlandshire, as, on the opening of the railway, regular and efficient steam communication between these points and others on the Sutherland and Caithness coasts will necessarily be established. By these arrangements, in addition to the existing traffic by land, and that carried on by steamers to Inverness, the greater part of the traffic, both in goods and passengers, from Inverness to Sutherland and Caithness, will be brought along the line. The inquiries into the traffic, which have been carefully made, show the following results : The annual number of passengers of all sorts, and doubling those by coach and other conveyances, between Inverness and Elgin, and the towns along the line, according to the Parliamentary rules, amount to 87,640, which, at the average of 4s. for each passenger, yields ••.• . • • ....... ...... ........ •• • • .£17,528 0 0 For mails and small parcels, &c •.•••• • • • • • ••• • • 2,024 0 0 Tre probable revenue arising from the transport of car riages, gigs, horses, dogs, &c., taken at an average of only three per cent on the passenger traffic, the per centage usually taken in similar lines being five, yields 525 0 0 Cattleand sheep. ••••••••-•••••••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • GOO 0 0 General merchandise, heavy goods including stone from the Quarries in Morayshire and Nairnshire to the west, timber, farm produce, coals, manures, fish, spirits, &c. •••• • • • • • • Goods traffic on the Branches ••• • . • ..... ....• Passenger traffic on do ••• • • • • £31,145 0 0 The engineering wake of the line, from the unusually level nature of the country, and its passing over a light gravelly soil, are of a very simple character. There are no tunnels or viaducts, and the country abounds in all the materials, with the exception of iron, necessary for the construction of a Railway. The capital has been set down at 300,000/., and the revenue, as above stated, attar deducting the usual allowknce for working ex.; penses, and assuming one-third of the capital to be borrowed, ac cording to the ordinary practice of Railway Companies, at the usual rate of interest, shows a clear return of upwards of eight per cent. It is proposed, in the first place, to lay down a single line of rails, with the usual passing places, until the traffic shall be more fully de. velopcd. The bridges are, however, to be built, and the land pur chased, for a double line. Besides the advantages above enumerated, arising from the local traffic, there are other and important sources of revenue, to which it is proper to advert. The west end of the line will connect with the Caledonian Canal, which originally cost 1,000,000/., and on the im provement of which 200,0001. are now in the co,'rse of being ex pended by Government. These improvements, which will be com pleted before the railway comes into operation, will greatly increase the navigation, both of steamers and sailing-vessels, on the Canal, along which, even at present, two steamers ply twice a week, while a large and powerful steamer is to be placed, on the opening of the Canal, in the direct Liverpool trade, The whole of this extensive traffic tom Mesmer, Liverpool, &c., towards the counties of Banff, Nairn, and Moray, must necessarily pass along the proposed Railway. On the other hand, towards the east, the line will be continued by the contemplated railway from Elgin to Aberdeen—thus connecting all the towns and manufacturing districts on the west of England and Scotland, through the Caledonian Canal, with the • rich agricultural country to the east of Elgin, and onwards to the city of Aberdeen, and other towns on the east coast of Scotland. Besides constituting an important link in the direct east and west communication of this part of the kingdom, the present railway must of necessity form the northern outlet of the contemplated great direct Central Railway from Perth to Inverness, in continuation of the Scottish Central and Caledonian Railways, thus completing the shortest possible line between England and the southern counties of Scotland and the north ; and, from its position in this respect, the Inverness and Elgin Railway will become the channel through which will flow the whole traffic between the north and south. The Capital will be divided into 15,000 Shares of 20/. each. The Parliamentary Deposit of five per cent. to be paid upon the shares being allotted, and the Subscribers to sign the Parliamentary Con tract and Subscribers' Agreement when required. Power will be taken to pay interest at four per cent. on the amount of the subscription paid up till the line is opened, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his subscription.

This Railway is projected to fill an important link in the great chain of communication across the country from north-east to south west, and accomplish the object of a line of Railway direct flora the Humber to the Severn, and from Hull and Grimsby, through Leicester and Coventry, to Gloucester and Bristol. The length of the line which this Company proposes to construct is about twenty-four miles ; it will immediately unite the London and Birmingham with the Tring and Worcester and the Birmingham and Gloucester Railways; and by means of the Coventry, Bedworth and Nuneaton and Leicester Junction sines, connect itself with the Trent Valley and Midland Counties Railways. The communications north ward and eastward beyond Leicester are completed, or in progress. This railway is proposed to commence at the station of the War wick and Leamington Union Railway, at Leamington, and passing close by Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon, with stations in both these towns, will form a junction with the Tring and Worcester Rail way near to the latter town, adept that line to Evesham, and from thence by Sedgeberrow, Dumbleton, and Beckford, form a junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway sear to Ashchurch, being the most convenient point of junction with that railway for Tewkesbury and Cheltenham. The passenger traffic alone must, it is obvious, be very extensive ; added to which the goods traffic, par ticularly that of coals from the Warwickshire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire coal fields, as also of agricultural produce, must necessa rily be of great extent, and amply remunerative for capital embarked in the undertaking. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all future calls, from the date of the passing of the Act till the opening of the railway. . Shares, for a time, will be allotted to parties who may be per sonally known to any members of the Provisional Committee, or who are properly introduced by letter. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the annexed form, to the Solicitors or Local Agents above-named, or to the following Share brokers, vit. :—Messrs. P. W.

T HE " CLERK OF THE WEATHER" To E. MOSES and SON. Dear Sirs,—ln reply to the verses you wrote, I have taken occasion to send you a note. I certainly think you have very good reason To be quite out of patience with Winter's long season. But, Gentlemen, much brighter days are at hand, When a beautiful Spring will encircle the land. You asked me, you know, Messrs. MOSES and 49N. To speak with the Winter, and this I have dome. I inquired how long he intended to stay, And I said you were all in a terrible way. I told him that birds were all waiting to sing, And that you had prepared your new stock for the Spring. I explained that the dresses of MOSES and SON Could never be worn till the 'Winter is done. And when I had talked with the King for a while. I succeeded in making his Majesty smile ; And, Sirs, he assured me, heft!** I had done, That he'd lot disappoint Messrs. MOSES and SON. From this I conclude that your opportune rhyme, Will produce its effect In a very short time. And now, in the hope that you'll long trade together, I remain, yours sincerely, THE " CLERK OF THE WEATHER."

This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication between London, Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and the West of England, traversing in its course many wealthy, populous, and important districts. It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From tkenee it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to Yeovil. By whichmeans the connexion between the East and West Coasts of England will be complete. A further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that by using the line of the South Western Railway from London to Basingstoke, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct line of communication with the Metropolis. The distance from London to Salisbury will be about 80 miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles. It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ; viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at the same time will most materially aid communication between the ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bristol, a most desirable object in a national point of view. A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that few Railways in the kingdom will form a medium of communication with a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places, By it, Salisbury, Sherborne, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, B ra df o rd, Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, ;Wbitchurch, Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Pert, Stalbridge, and Ilchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate connexion with each other, rendering the undertaking eminently calculated to promote the convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its proprietors. The country to he traversed will, as has been ascertained ftom ac tual surveys; admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles proposed to be used of the South Western Railway), and that between Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, making the entire length of the line yet to be constructed no more than 105 miles.

For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for rive years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only. The following are the annual Prenaiums for the Assurance of 1001. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Frugality, freedom iro; univer sal peace, are the three general h e ads on w hi c h mos t stress i s laid by President Polk in his Inaugural Address. It is a shrewd remark that men generally most vaunt themselves of the virtues, or the properties, they possess least of. Is this the case with President's Polk's panegyric on the Government of his country ? In the first place, what is the Government of that country ? According to President Polk's statement of it, is " a confederation of independent States." Now here is the thimblerig—we are sorry to use so trivial an expression ; but it is the only appropriate one. In order to make President Polk's assertions true regard ing the States, the pea must be under one thimble—in order to make them true regarding the Union it must be under the other. Imprimis, then, as regards fru gality and freedom from debt. These assertions, if applied to that abstraction, the Union, may be true. That is to say, a government, which is not a government to most intents and purposes, does not incur debts for purposes which it does not fulfil.. But if the Union, instead of being a sort o f abstraction, or fictitious entity—if the President, in stead of being, where deeds, not words, are concerned, on most occasions a man of straw, or, to refine the phrase—a man of figure and representation—were, the one, a whole, of which the States were component parts ; the other, the executive arm, wielding the power of that whole to assert its law — in short, i f national unity were, in any consistent sense, predicable of the Union, President Polk's frugality and so.n any sen se w hi c h lveacy vau n t s wou ld be untrue. They are untrue, I can satisfy moral beings. T he head has no r i g ht to disclaim responsibility for the members. So far as the States have been lavish, and are indebted, the vaunt of the Union of frugal f ree d om f rom d e b t i s a trick of thinitlertg. This verb a l thi m bl er i g cons i sts i n boasting, i n one breath, of the prosperity of the States, as an attribute of the Union, and shirking in tho next, the involvements of the States, as things the Union has no part in. If it has part in the one, it has part in the other. If it is entitle iii lilily to magnify thee& w it cannot be entitled to repu diate their obligations, as net its own. It cannot be entitled to contrast their lot with the " melanchly eonditon" of those European nations which hare debts to pay, and which pay their debts, and to exult in the contrast—" We have no debts to pay"—when compelled to subjoin, in the very next breath—" Happy would it be for the indebted States. if they were treed from their liabilities, many of which were incautiously contracted." Frugal folks do not contract debts incautiously—honest folks pay those they have contracted. It is a high pitch of effrontery in the chief magistrate of a nation which includes those States to affect pity for the nations of Europe whose solvency shows that they have preserved the idea of national honour. President Polk's idea of a nation in a " melans choly condition" is the idea of nations enslaved—by their word and bond. It is the idea of Ancient Pistol—Base is the slave who pays ! The pretension of cultivating uni versal peace has something of the same equivoque about it. Like the hedgehog, which the snake had gir ga, shelter to in its hole, it only expands its prickly surfac • on all sides, to its own comfort and convenience. If others are inconvenienced, it feels itself, for its own part, perfectly comfortable. " The title of numerous Indian tribes (the old aboriginal snake) to vast tracts of country has been extinguished. New States have been admitted into the Union ; new territories have been created, and our jurisdiction and laws extended over them." The " re-annexation (!) of Texas to our Union at the caches) possible period."—" Our title to th e country of the Oregon is clear and unquestionably." Well bristled, hedgehog. President Polk observes that " Foreign Powers do not seem to appreciate the true character of our Government." We submit that this may possibly be from the continual duplicity of position which President Polk and his predecessors have assumed, as its mouth pieces. It is the sublimest acme of irresponsible govern • ment ever exhibited in this world. The federal Govern ment, according to President Polk, " is a common pro tector of each and all the States ; of every man who lives upon our soil, whether of native or foreign birth." The States, however, if they take a fancy to hang an Irishman, or lynch an Abolitionist, are in such -case, acting simply as " independent States." Again, " Ours aas intended to be a plain and frugal Government"--s but, if every one of the State governments think proper, on the contrary, to be lavish and jobbing, or wildly speculative, " our Government" knows nothing about it. The Union cultivates universal peace ; but, if any state should prefer border war, the irruptions of its citizen* upon friendly neighbours would noways concern the Union. We do not mean to write the satire of American in stitutions; and we do not know wh e th er an y ot h er wou ld have suitd them in gristle, and incomplete growth. We only say they do not justify this annual boasting; and they do not exhibit, on the part of their verbal representatives, that moral dignity which expositions so elaborate can only owe to truth in facts, and to fairness in conclusions. As regards the Oregon (to say nothing, at present, of Texas), the language of this Address, notwithstanding the saving clause for " obliga tions imposed by treaty," is too similar to everything else American popular politicians have put forth, and too fully deserves the animadversion on former such lan guage bestowed by Mr. Falconer, in his excellent little volume on the " Mississippi and the Oregon." "It is greatly to be lamented," observes Mr. Falconer, "that in Ametica it should have been the interest of dishonest and violent politicians to have adopted a tone of discussion upon the subject opposed to its fair settle ment. It is not honourable, while the title of the terri tory is undetermined between the respective Govern ments, to urge measures to populate it with American citizens, in order to give facilities for its occupation at a future period. Such recommmendations do not indi cate a conviction of the validity of the claim insisted on. America, as well as Great Britain, has an interest in the establishment of a settled Government in that part of the world—in marking out the limits of legal possession— and in rearing a population which, however they may differ respecting the system of government which they may prefer, shall look to the future, as bringing the fruits of a peaceful, generous, and civilised intercourse." STANDARD.—lnteresting intelligence from the United States has been received in pretty full measure within the last twenty-four hours. Yesterday we communicated the decision of the American Senate, by a majority of 27 to 25 in favour of the annexation of Texas. Last night we received the re approbation of the House of Representatives to this decision, and the ratification of the whole, as far as the United States are concerned, by the new President. Last night we received also Presi dent Polk's Message to the Congress. All this is inter esting, but that is all ; for it really concerns us mate rially as little as te proceedings of the Celestial Empire, with regard to any of its Tartar neighbours, perhaps even less, in the present state i of the world. The United States have agreed to absorb Texas, if Texas will submit to be absorbed. Well and good ; but the consent of Texas is still to be obtained as an important preliminary to the carrying into effect the purpose of the United States, and the consent of Mexico must be added if the purpose is to be accomplished without an inevitable, and let us add, an interminable war between the republics now to be brought into immediate contact. Judging merely from the inequality of the adverse parties as to popula tion and extent, and naturally prejudiced in favour of the superior military qualities of the Anglo-Saxon race, we might hastily conclude the contest more unequal than it certainly would prove in such a difficult country, and with such a climate as would be the scene of operation. And one thing is certain, that a war between the United States and Mexico would firmly bind the former " in securities to keep the peace" with respect to all other nations. However, this is looking a little too far until the consent of Texas to the Union shall have been obtained, which is not yet the case, and possibly never will be the case. If, how ever, the Texans, about 60,000 white inhabitants, are desirous to incorporate themselves in the northern union, we do not see who has either the right or the power to hinder them—still less can we guess a motive for interfering in the matter, for it is much better for all parties—the United States excepted—that the south western territory should be open to all attacks and reprisals provoked by the United States, than that it should serve the purpose of the republic under the disguise of a false independence and neutrality. The Message is better written, and (a great merit) shorter than the majority of such documents, and if it says little to any practical purpose, it would be as un fair to criticise severely this defect in it as in " a birth day ode." Like the ode, it is necessarily a mere cere monial flourish, and for such a display Mr. Polk has se lected his topics with sufficiently good taste ; the address is, in fact, a thesis upon civil government, shaped into a panegyric upon the constitution of the United States, with very little to give offence to these who happen to prefer other forms of government. From the begin ning to the end there is, however, an earnest deprecation of the possible dangers of separation, coupled with a triumphal denial that any such dangers exist—a style of speaking almost laughable from its inconsistency, and which indicates in the speaker's mind a painful misgiving that all is not quite so secure as he would represent it. Mr. Polk speaks of the annexation of Texas as he might be expected to speak : and introduces an exceedingly comical principle of compensation, which is, we be lieve, perfectly new in the science of political ethics. As we aro making a large acquisition, said he, in the south-west, it becomes necessary to re dress the balance by . a large acquisition in the north west, via., by occupying the Oregon territory. 'We thi n k we remember having adopted this principle more years ago than we like to confess, when building houses of care—an inclination on one side called for the interposition of a card or two, otherwise unneces sary for the structure, upon the other, and so the edifice proceeded, until some unlucky shake or gust of wind prostrated the whole. But, perhaps, Mr. Polk was rather thinking of John Gilpin's ingenious expedient-- " A bottle hanging to each side To keep the balance true." However, every body knows the fate of John Gilpin's bottles. DEVON AND CORNWALL WRESTLING.
