The Board of Trade has reported in favour of the line from Aber deen to the south. The Bill for this line is now in progress through Parliament ; and, with the already existing lines, and others recom mended by the Board of Trade, will form a continuous chain of rail way communication from Aberdeen to London, in connexion with Dundee, Perth, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the important towns of England along the line. The Report of the Board of Trade on Rail way Communication in Scotland, and which has been laid before Parliament, states that " the Aberdeen line southward is a proper and necessary part of a system of railway communication for the northern portion of Scotland ; that this line appears to be well laid out, with a view to the objects which it has to attain ; and that the impon tance of it is increased by the consideration that a cheap and easy line, traversing a district of considerable population and local traffic, is stated to have been surveyed from Aberdeen to Inverness. Should this be the case, it seems, not improbable that railway communica tion to the more northern counties may be extended in this direction." In accordance with the views thus indicated in the report from the Board of Trade, it has now been resolved to extend the means of railway communication northward from Aberdeen to Inverness. The line will commence at the Aberdeen Company's Station, in the centre of Aberdeen, and will proceed by Old Aberdeen, along the fertile valley of the Don, through the burghs of Kintore and Inverury, from thence through mach,Kinnethmont, and the towns of Huntly, Keith, Elgin, Forres, and Nairn, on to Inverness, where a very suitable station can be obtained, and where a convenient communication can also be formed with the Caledonian Canal. It will thus be seen that ulfk line passes through the rich and flourishing counties of Aberdeen, Band, Moray, Nairn, and Inverness, districts of the highest agricul tural and manufacturing importance. The local traffic with the city of Aberdeen, which is the great outlet for their produce. as well as the market for their supplies of all kinds, is very large ; and the traffic of the whole northern counties towards England must pass along this line. It is a lso proposed to form three branch lines in eonn exion with, and at the same time as the trunk line. 1. The first ,to Banff and Portsoy, leaving the main line at Strathisla. 2. The second to Fochabers, leaving the trunk line neax the poiut where it crosses the Spey. 3. The third to Lossiemouth or Burghead, from Elgin. The counties through which the trunk line and branches pass com prise within themselves a population (as appears by the census of 1841) of 384,094, in addition to the population of the four northern counties of Ross, Cromarty, Sutherland, and Caithness, to which this line will afford an outlet. At various points along the line are to be found limestone and slate, of the best quality; also ironstone, man ganese, and other minerals, the value of which is very great ; re quiring only facility of transit for its development. The line has al ready been specially approved of by almost every landed proprietor through whose estates it passes. Mr. Gibb has Mike great progress with the Parliamentary surveys, which will be ready to be placed before the Beard of Trade on au early day, and all necessary steps will be taken to insure the intro duction of the measure into Parliament next session. From the favourable nature of the country, the gradients will be excellent, and the expense of construction far under that of any rail way of similar length ever yet executed in Great Britain. There will be no tunnel whatever, nor cuttings of any extent throughout the line. In fact, the rails for nearly one-half of the line may almost be laid on the existing levels. The cost of executing the main line and branches Mr. Gibb esti mates at under 1,100,0001. And from a report which has been ob tained from competent parties employed to value the traffic on the line since the month of October last, the revenue is computed to be From passenger traffic alone • • •••••.. • . • • • • • X 98,303 From goods traffic •• • • . 76,413 £174,716 Deduct for working and oxpensos, ono-third of . 58,238 gross amount . Leaving ..... ••• • • ..... •• • A 116,478 Equal to ,a dividend on the estimated cost of upwards of ten per cent. It is certain also that the traffic, when taken during the summer months, will exhibit a mush higher aggregate revenue than that here stated. A deposit of live per cent. on each share will be required at the time of allotment, and ur e cent. will be allowed on all pay ments to account of calls fo after the Act is obtained till the line is opened for traffic. Lithographed plans of the line, and all other information in regard to the undertaking, may be obtained on application to Adam and Anderson, or Blaikie and Smith, advocates in Aberdeen ; Inglis and Burns, W.S., Edinburgh ; lil`Tavish and M`Lennan, solicitors, In verness ; Edward Mortimer, or A.

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 cot ntry through which it passes is nearly a perfect level. The length of the line, with the branches to the ports, is 44 1 ,4 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 eithei 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 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 convey antes, between Inverness and Elgin, and the towns along the line, according to the Parliamentary rules, amount to 87,640, which, at the average of 4a. for each passenger, yields 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 ceutage 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 t• the west, timber, farm produce, coals, manures, fish, spirits, &c. • • • • • • . Goods traffic on the Branches .. •. • • .... • • .......... 2,500 0 0 Passenger traffic on do.. . . A 31,145 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, neoessary 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 1,000,0001., and on the Im provement of which 200,0001. are now in the coarse 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, &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 glares 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.

SECRETARY—Lewis Crombie, 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 thence 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 wills the Metropolis. The distance from London to Salisbury will be about 80 miles, an 1 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, :Whitchurcli, Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port, Stalbridge, and I Ichester, 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 rota' is its proprietors. The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained ftorn ac tual surveys, admit of tile 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.

DISGRACEFUL AND REVOLTING SCENE AT NEW INGTON-CAUSEWAY.—(From a Correspondent.)— About five o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday, a most dis graceul and unnatural fracas took place in this neigh bourhood, and caused some hundreds of persons to con gregate, to witness a fight between two individuals, who from their outward appearance were supposed to be of the female gender, but from the numerous falls in the fight in which they were engaged, it was soon discovered that one of the parties was a man in the disguise and dress of a woman. The bystanders, one and all, urged policeman 157 L, and 116 M, to take both the offenders to the station-house, not only for the breach of the peace they had committed (and to which both policemen were eyewitnesses), as also a general obstruction caused by the mob of people assembled, but still more on account of a man in the disguise of a woman, clothed in a gown, shawl, cap, and bonnet, actually fighting with a person who in reality was a woman. Although such fact was established, and even winked at, and acknow• ledged by the policemen, they still persisted in suffering the disguised individual to escape, and most insultingly taunted several gentlemen who urged their taking the assumed individual into their keeping, to receive the pu nishment set forth by the law for appearing at large in the dress of that sex to which he did not belong. w e have information, too undeniable to be questioned, and are also in the possession of a gentleman's name and ad dress, who hesitates not in saying that a greater dere liction of duty on the part of the two policem en h e never witnessed, and that the eye-sight and feelings of many highly-respectable females in this locality were shocked at the appearance of the supposed female when an ex posure of the person was beheld. An investigation into this affair by the head of the constabulary force need not, we should imagine, be urged, as it speaks loudly for I immediate inquiry. —Advez User The Gold Cup Stakes of 10 guineas each, p. p., for three years old, 7st; four years, 9st Mb; five years, 9st 121 b; six years aad aged, lOst 41b; winners, &c., extra.
