Trade, will form to a eontinuous chain of rail lfid;"l., Montt:tefloaon from Aberdeen 'London, in connexion with itis e d Perth, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the important towns of 1. 4 Y Q, e along the line. The Report of the Board of Trade on Rail ,,krite,ntraunication in Scotland, and which hat been laid before ent, states that the Aberdeen line southward is a proper :inlueZ m arY part of a system of railway communication for the . ti i , ori Portion of Scotland ; that this line appears to be welllaid out, 7os of to the objects which it has to attain ; and that the impor s, .. v it is increased by the consideration that a cheap and easy ersing a district of considerable population and local traffic, to have been surveyed from Aber deen to Inverness. Should !Ile case, it seems not improbable that railway communica thia ee 'oe More northern counties may be extended in this direction." t !It e ,„ . e m'clatice with the views thus indicated in the report from tillinfe l Of Trade, it has now been resolved to extend the means of ts e 4, communication northward from Aberdeen to Inverness.

VATION OF SUGAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In overhauling my household expenses I find we use in my family, servants included, at the rate of five pounds of sugar per week for three persons; this is more than I calculated upon before actual investigation; and to satisfy your mind that waste is not allowed, I just mention that my present wife had been for above twenty years in the young ladies seminary at the Moravian es tablishmen, Fairfield, in Manchester; and for a consi derable period of the latter part of that time, she was director of that establishment, which is a public one, and had to account_ half-yearly to the heads of depart ments of that body for the income and outlay, the balance in favour of which went to the general fund of that missionary body for their support; that young ladies seminary has now existed for fifty years, and at which the daughter's of several of the leading men in that quarter and elsewhere received their education, say Mr. Brotherton's, M.P.; Thomas Ashton's, hyde manufac turer; James Ashton's wife, of Iforroeks, Jackson, and Co.; Mr. Moffett's (the Cape missionaries) wife, &c. In this village (Allonby) and neighbourhood, I find many of the labouring people use either tea or coffee to, or with, their dinner, besides the same to breakfast and supper when they can afford it. My friend (an out and out free-trader), Thomas Wilson, Esq., banker and hatter, Cockermouth, employ's about four hundred hand s in his business, and he tells me that either tea or coffee is used three times a day by his workpeople, which are comparatively well off, for he superintends personally his business himself from first in the morning to the last at night ; he is a thorough man of business, kind and considerate to his workmen. The colliers in this county, who work under-ground, and as you aware, I dare say, receive good wages, and are a numerous body, they also use coffee and tea three times a day in a general way ; indeed, I may say in conclusion on this part of the sub ject, that it is a general practice in this county with the labourers, when they can afford it. Now, I take for granted (or for example), that the population of the United Kingdom will in 1845, or 1846, amount to thirty millions of inhabitants; at one pound of sugar each person per week, and four pounds each annually for pre serving fruit, and at Christmas, we have fifty-six pounds each consumption, which on thirty millions gives 1,680 million pounds, or seven hundred and fifty thousand tons of sugar as the annual consumption of the 'United Kingdom; this at 11d. per lb. duty (14s. per cwt. or 141. per ton( gives a revenue of 10,500,0001., each person thus contributing seven shillings annually to the revenue, and adding, by so doing, to the comfoat and happiness of their fire- sides, as well as largely Contributing to in= crease the revenue. This seven hundred and fifty thou sand tons of sugar would load 1,875 ships of four hun dred tons each, which at twenty men per ship, would give employment to 37,500 seamen. The quantity which I have assumed, 11b. per persou per week, and 41bs. over, is considerably, it seems to me, below the actual expen diture of persons like myself, in the middle rank of life; true, many of the poor, and many of the Irish popula tion, are at present unable to use sugar, from want of means to purchase that most desirable and most nutri ious aliment. But the fault lies with the ruling powers of the day, at present, as it has always hitherto done, and not with the ruled. The transition of the Africans in the West Indies has no doubt caused a revolution in the state of affairs, as regards the labourers at the sugar cultivation in the West; no doubt the number of field labourers have been reduced there since slavery was abolished, and very properly so, by the with drawal from field labour of the females, and, perhaps, by an equal number to the avoca tions of shop-keepers, trades, &c. ; but then the sugar estates have not been made the most of by a resi dent proprietary, superintending personally the cultiva tion of their estates, in the same manner as my friend, Mr. Wilson, in Cockermouth, who would just be as much entitled to compensation from the community at large, for the loss he might annually sustain in his business, if he took it into his head to go and live at Rome, and drive his coach and six daily, and persuade himself he could manage his business in Cockermouth by a limb of the law who resided in London. My Cockermouth friend would, under the above circumstances, just be as much entitled to the same protection or monopoly in the pro duction of sugar, and it stems to me to be proved by all experience that, so long as a hope is held out to the West Indians, their sugars shall be admittted int o th e mar k e t s o f . _ , - the United Kingdom for consumption on more favour able terms than foreign sugars, that no sufficient efforts will be made to superintend the cultivation of their estates personally, on the most improved and seientific principle ; nothing but subjecting them to a severe com petition will, it seems to me, effect the object, an object which justice to the other branches of the community in the United Kingdom imperiously and most justly de mand, without delay. The competition between the East and West Indies will, it is devoutly to be hoped tend to arouse the West Indians from their lethergy and delu sive dreams of continued protection, as they call mono poly, to the cupidity of which such unheard of hard ships ar clearly ascribable among the labouring part of our population. Only observe the meanness and the in 4ustice of the present measure as regards suar, in sub jecting the sugars of Penang, M a l acca , and Singapore, to a higher duty than the rest of the British sugar colonies; and, not only this, but within the last week I observe an order in Council, again subjecting sugar, the produce of Arracan and the conquered Burman provinces on the East side of the Bay of Bengal, to the same differential duties as the Malacca Straits settlements, after they bad. been placed en the same footing as Bengal, of which pre.: sidency they form a part, and are under its Government. This is retrogade ; but the settlements are comparatively new and weak in power, and the ruling powers of the day, instead of fostering their weak children, actually do all they can to crush them—and for what ? Why, to make sugar scarce and dear, which they profess to do all in their poser to ;make it plenty and cheap. Oh is the echo; the Straits of Malacca and Burman set tlements are too weak to make any noise in Parliament that will be listened to or attended to, so we may crush them without fear of consequences (I have nothing at stake there now, (neither for myself nor any of my fa mily, our field in Hong-Kong, Shanghai, and Manilla, so I write disinterestedly). The present would appear to be a period the most inviting to the enterprising, for the profitable employment of means and science in the soil of British India for the produce of sugar, from the rivers Berhampootia to the Indus, to the latter of which rivers suitable steamers and flat-bottomed boats have at last been sent and established for the purposes of com merce and for the quick transport of troops, instead of, as heretofore, transporting them by land through the swamps on the banks of the Indus by long and harassing marches, by which fearful losses of life have occurred from such exposure. The 78th Highlanders (if they be now what they were in 1811 when at the capture of Java) are the most unfit men of the United Kingdom for such exposure from being hill men, as was found to the grief of all who knew it, for they died by dozens when exposed to the swamps of Java and its low lauds, whilst the 89th, a purely as wild an Irish regiment as the 78th was Highland, suffered comparatively little by deaths. Give honest Donrld his hills, snow capped, and pure air, and he will do all that man can do. No man will feel more severely the losses in the 78th than Sir C. Napier; still the experience, though acquired, is indeed too dearly bought! But still the Indus and its banks are our strong' holds on the south-weitern frontier, and the sooner they are so on the north-west frontier the better. The soil and position are both favourable to sugar production, transit will be hereafter be quick and good, and the cli mate not inferior to many other of our tropical posses sions, if prudence be duly exerci,ed in biding away from unhealthy spots at certamperiods, as is the practice La other low tropical climates. It appears to me, that he who stimulates the enteprising to embark in East Indio sugar production, conduces more substantially to o ft comfort and benefit of both the labourers and Govern. ment of this country, than all the so-called farmers' friends put together ; the middle and upper claws will get their share of the benefit by lightened taxation arising from more contributors, and slavery abolition will be hastened thereby by free beating slave labour. Would that the rage was as great at present for producing sugar as for railroads, good indeed though the latter be. It appears to me, considering the teeming millions of India, and the suitableness of the soil, together with the prospect of an almost limitless market for absorption, that the prospects of large returns from means invested in East India sugar cultivati on , as i n f er i or to no other description of inve s t ment. The tiny Sinde became British, that mom en t a ll F rance ' s hopes van i she d o f making the Panjaub a thor n i n our s id e , when the time arrived ; and hence, away went all the French officers, clean off, and away, from the dominions of the Old Lion of Lahore, the Sinde policy, and in fact its justice and humanity, the East India Company either cannot see, or from policy or infatuation wil l not acknowledge. When we have only the two'high roads from the West into India to guard, the Kyber Pass and the Bolan, thee, peace will reign in India, but never before ; every day's experience shows this more clearly—even though we now hold the key to the Panjaub and into Western India, by - Siude and the Indus. It seems to me that that the Southern United States will enjoy an advantage over all other sugar-producing countries, to some considerable extent at least, for at present many of their cotton-loaded ships, ballast with copper-dross or stones, wherets, in future, sugar can be taken for ballast, which can afferd to be carried at a no. urinal rate of freight ; and although it be a small iten. still a saving of about two shillings per cwt. Is a r of itself of ten shillings on the first 4'04 .o +' sus'. e f one ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Marling., Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION at ONE CHARGE.

The Caledonian Bank, Inverness, and its Branches. The Union Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh, Do. do. Glasgow. Mesas. Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, and Co., London. Manchester and Liverpoool District Bank, Liverpool 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 col:ntry through which it passes is nearly a perfect level. The length of the line, with the branches to the ports, is 44% 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 tains 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, lie 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 from 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 Lossie mouth and 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 Invergordon, 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 steame r s 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 •.• • • For mails and small parce ls, &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 Cattle and sheep• •••• • • • ••• ••••••••• • • • • .. • • • 600 0 0 General merchandise, heavy goods including stone from the Quarries in Morayshire and Nairnshire to the west, timber, farm produce, coals, manures, fish, •• • • 7,500 0 0 Goods traffic on the Branch es • • • . • . .. • • • • • • • • • • •• • • 2,500 0 0 Passenger traffic on do •• • • . • 468 0 0 £31,145 0 0 The engineering works 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, neeessary for the construction of a Railway. The capital has been set down at 300,0001., and the revenue, as above stated, after deducting the usual allowance 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 veloped. 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 3,000,0001., and on the im provement of which 200,0001. are now in the course 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 from Glasgow, Liverpool, Bre., 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 thls 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 Mares of 201. 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 tho object of a line of Railway direct from 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 conStruet 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 Juno ion fines, 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, adopt that line to Evesham, and from thence by Sedgeberrow, Dinnbleton, and Beckford, form a junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway near 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 fifture 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, viz.:—Messrs. P. W.

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 SON. To speak with the Winter, and this I have done. I inquired how long he intended to stay, And I said you were all In a terrible way. 1 told him that birds were all waiting to sing, And that you had prepared your new stock for the gprlug. 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, beibre I had done, That he'd not disappoint Messrs. MOSES and SON.

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 kßasingstoke. From thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to Yeovil. By whiehmeans the connexion between the East, and West Coasts of England will be complete. A Ruttier 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, Bradford, Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, :Whitchurch, Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port, 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 public, and certain to yield a large return to its proprietors. The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from 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.

Clement, Esq, At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of S percent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. 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 five 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 Premiums for the Assurance of 100/. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at rive per cent.; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which having used, I found my hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since.
