The committee for the formation of a railway between Inverness td Nairn. hold themselves justified in submitting the s cheme to e Pu'dic at this time, as being of great importance to the locality, 7 l ell towards the full bemefic of through railway communication 01 .1 ! the Northern Count , es, and as affording a we 1-ground-d as .rance of proving a remuner -dive in-estmen for capital. The futile and populous district ahi It it is pronosed to intersect t ewlnrises the seaport and market towns of Inverness and Nairn, eeveral villages at which important markets are held, the Ferries 4gXessock and Chanon•y, the Military station of Fort Geor g e, ani e Basin and Quays of the Caledonian canal. The committee would also call atten tion to the fact that upon this district converge of h ecessity the maul lines of communication vetween the North and West, and the East and South of Scotland ; and th..t the proposed line must form a common centre and conne,t -!R link in all future development whatsoever o f the railway system . " Lr clighout the Northern Counties. The length of the ling will be Is% miles, and it is proposed at first to lay down a single line of ra . ls; but t he Lint to be purchased and b adges constructed tor a double line. COST AND TIME OF COMPLETION. With recrankto the expense of construction, it is enottah to state t hat the line has been examined by Mr. Falshaw, of Perth, and a Joint offer has been re , steel from Mr. Brassey, the emdvmt railway co ntractor, and Mr. Fatahaw, to complete the entire railway, with Works and stations, within ten months after the passive of the act, for.. . ....... „.• £ 65,000 0 0 1/ eing little more than 4,150 . 0 . 1. — a ; and they acres to take a payment of 20,0001. of the con tract price in stock The land compensation, rolling stock, and all ex penses, including provision for a debt unon the new Nairn-road, will be covered, it is calculated, ••• • • • ... . . 20000 0 0 by •• In en ........ ...... . .. £85,000 0 0 .• . • Or 5,570/. a mile. Of this one-fourth may be raised by loan. All th , proprietors a'ong the line are favourable, and in almost rel'Y instance hav expressed their readiness to accept a feu-dutv, desired, base i on the agricultural value of the land required for We Works. It is well to remark here that the averse e cost of railways in Scot. 44 d hitherto has exceeded 30,0n0/. per mile. TRAFFIC. ------ - In 1845 traffic tables were carefully compiled front actual obser- Z: tion, and there has since been a m aterial increase. From these lees an estimate has been prepared. There exists a large pas enger traffic , carried b y three stare y achts daily each way. The ascer t ai ned numbers by these and by e ther._ public and by private conveyan c es in 1845 were 29,258, inde vwlent of horse and foot passengers Besides the transit of ordinary agricultural produce and require tneer So and general merchandise, large exports are made from Inver. aces and Nairn of potatoes and train, and of wood as return cargo for coal and lime. At Nairn there are freestone quarries of superior quality—the dearest and che ti.st for all th country westwards. These quarries 7in supply Inverness and neighbourhood —the carriage of building materials being expensive at present, and will, unquestiena ly form large source of traffic. 4,, Cattle are sent from the Muir of Ord a nd other northern market, ,";.' the Eastern Counties, and considerable numbers of shee p p ass b y ' , la route to Nairnshire and Morayshire tor sintering. The market already open to the fishing population of Nairn. In r :verness and its vicinity. will be re ndered thoroughly accessible, v hlie the sea -bathing and oaths o t Nairn will form a p ermanent attraction to the inhabitants of Inverness And neighb .urhood. _ From this it appears that there is a larg e existing p assenger traffic, Zeonsiderable traffic in general merchand ise, a g ricultural p roduce, m anures, cattle and sheep, coals and timber. he carriage of mails and small parcels , &c. , m a y be also taken Late account. These comprehend the local traffic. .Railmay facilities have. invarlabl , more than (lout led the number 1 1 Passengers. They will stimulate all the pres nt, and develop "tveral new sources of traffic. , Ac c ording to the calculations made — the result of actual observe ‘,Ort In 1845.-the local revenue is set down at 9,5001. a-year. The awe estimate is at the rate of 11 per mile p er week-da y each ws", Bing less th-n a third of the average railway returns of Scotland. 'indeed, disappointment has never been experienced In anticipated r ailway traffic. The losses which have accrued have arisen in all ' e aarll . th roug h extravagant outlay. "'hen the t h ro ugh lines of c mmunic ation are completed, a great °Portion of the large tr i ffi c of the northern and c ntral High lands will, in addition, be e ventually conveyed along the line. 1. this will, to a certa'n extent, arise, as regards passengers, 1 , 2 the epening of the li is ; for then th e line from Aberdeen to u ntlY, now in progress, will becompleted, and railway communi cation be thus extended northwards from Aberdeen no less than 67 ton e ,. As an instance of successful railway enterprise in the north, the O a nloters may draw attention to t he line between Elg n and to : s iernouth, where, although th ere existed no constant public • the line, with the many drawbacks of a first year's traffic, has passengers a return to the sharehol iers of 5 per cent.

Cud bono 1" is the thought that will press itself upon the attention of any disinterested observer who brings him self to the consideration of the London Corporation. What is the good of the Lord Mayor? What is the good of the Aldermen ? of the Common Councilmen ? of the Common hall ? of the Guilds ? of the Fellowship Porters 9 of the metage-men ?of Gog and Ma g o g and of Temple-bar ? The city of London, properly so called, occupies about a square mile of ground, which is situated in the very heart of the metropolis, of which it f orms an inconsiderablesptart, find and we it encumbered with an anomalous on which might have done very well i n the thetimeo j f un. Plan tagenets, but has now become flat, stale, e ff e t e, an d alto gether unprofitable. In order to make out the case against the city, it is not in the least necessary to establish the validity of those charges of corruption and mal-ad m i n i tratine which have been deposed to by the variou s p wit nessesbefore the Commission. The truth is, that the onus ,of the proof lies rather upon the Corporation. Let the members of this body render up an account of their stew ardship, and show that they have administered the vast funds at their disposal without favour, without stint, without nepotism, without deception. There are certain plain municipal duties to be discharged which must be discharged by somebody or other. The question is, whether the present machinery is the best which could be contrived for the purpose. The police force of the city must be maintained in a state of efficient organisation ; justice must be administered at the police-offices ; sewerage, drain age, lighting, paving operations, BLc„ must be carried on ; beyond this, what? We by no means pretend to have exhausted the ordinary catalogue of municipal duties, but surely these are the principal heads. When we pass on, we find it strongly asserted on the one side, and faintly, or not at all, denied on the other, that the corporation of London enjoys the usufruct of large revenues, arising partly from estates, p ar tl y f rom t o ll s and rates, and pro bably from many other sources. It is, no doubt, necessary that these revenues should be administered for the public benefit by somebody or other, after all objectionable tolls and levies have been abolished. Nor would the duty of the administrators be confined simply to the management of estates and the collection of revenue ; when these ques tions are disposed of, that of expenditure remains. There is a large sum of money forthcoming every year, which might without imprudence, and should i n fairness, be ap plied, first to the relief of the citizens from an y undue levies to which they may be exposed in contradi s tin c ti on to the inhabitants of other municipal boroughs throughout the country ; and next to the improvement of the city, to the construction of bridges, to the opening of new streets, to the important objects of sewerage and drainage before alluded to, to the establishment and maintenance of schools for the benefit of the families of citizens, and other institutions. There is really no scheme of predetermined confiscation present to the mind of the most determined city reformer. To borrow a Parliamentary phrase, what we want is an " enabling bill." We want to see the affairs of the city placed in the hands of the citizens, and that they shall no longer be left in the power of a few knots of obscure retail tradesmen. Let us have a constituency and an administrative body which shall sympathise with the progress and intelligence of the age, and not a mere set of impostors, who call them selves exclusively citizens of London, and mismanage the municipal affairs. Let us get rid at once and for ever of the ridiculous gewgaws and vulgar display, which render the very name of the London Corporation a fitter subject for the caricaturist and squib-writer than for any more serious discussion. There can surely be no great difficulty in deciding whether questions of police, of magisterial functions, and of sewerage within the city can be solved with greater economy and efficiency by corporation officers, or by amalgamation with more general boards of adminis tration. Beyond this, the inquiry at present in progress before the commissioners is rather pointed at debits and credits—the amount of the city revenues, and how it is disposed of. We cannot suppose that any difficulty will be found in fixing some simple test of citizenship which will admit all bona fide citizens to those privileges to which they are rightly entitled, or in the construction of a suit able hierarchy of officers for the future administration of the corporate funds. Surely a scheme of this kind is no novelty to our statesmen ; one of the simplest sort has already been found efficient in our corporate towns. We have not far to search for precedents. The inquiry before the commissioners is proceeding, and every day brings to light new disclosures. Mr. Mills came forward to complain of the manner in which the duties of the shrievalty were imposed upon unoffending citizens who had no mind to such an infliction, while others were perfectly willing to undertake it. Mr. Mills and various members of family had been fined sums varying from COOL to 4001. in order to escape from the nuisance. When the system of annoyance had proved so intolerable that men were exasperated into an organiza tion for getting rid of it altogether, the Corporation clinched the nail by determining that the fines should be allowed to accumulate in the hands of the Chamberlain, and that the proceeds should be applied to charitable objects—thus per petuating the evil. Mr. J. D. Powles, the Chairman of the London Dock Company, represented to the Commis sioners that the City Navigation Committee consisted of 40 persons, not one of whom had the slightest acquaintance with the subject upon which he was called to legislate. He added that, with the exception of Alderman Thomp son, there was not a single merchant in the Corporation of London, and that the mercantile interests of London, as distinguished from the retail interests, were not repre sented in that body. Mr. J. A. Elliot, a member of the Common Council, was examined, and stated that, in nis opinion, the administration of justice by the Aldermen was most defective. He objected to the presence of the committing magistrates at the Central Criminal Court and at Quarter Sessions, and mentioned certain scandals which had taken place in consequence of the administration of justice by Aldermen. The city police, too, it appears, costs about twice as much as it should in fairness. The precise expense is set at 40,0001. per annum—that of the general London police at 400,0001.—but then the city is to London as Ito 20. Each of the police-courts of London costa 2,000/. per annum ; each of the city police-courts 2,5001., and the magistrates are unpaid. Wo must, however, pass over minor matters to come to the evidence of Mr. Beunoch. That gentleman, among other things, let the Commission a little into the secret of " committees." It appears that every member is elected for four years, and after two years any one is eligible to the chair. The great point for any can didate for that honour is, that he should be constant in his attendance upon the nocturnal tavern -meetings of the committee. That is the sine qua non. General incom tence is the next recommend ation ; for, if the civic pe llogberries see any trace of knowledge about tho aspirant, they set him clown at once for a had , desi g ning man. The t a vern bills are paid out of the cit y funds without audit ; if a surplus remains, it is voted to the chairman, in the form of a testimonial in plate. Mr. Bennoch tells us that the groat object of desire with the civic magnates is to be put upon the Navigation Committee, because that body is the peculiar consumer of whitebait at Blackwall or Greenwich. There is one point in Mr. Bennoch's evidence which should be quoted in illustration of a most scanda lous practice —scandalous to the practisors, but yet more scandalous to the recipients—with which the Corporation has been charged. " I know," said Mr. Bennoch, " that under a loose general resolution that the committee should ascertain the best means of giving publicity to the pro ceedings of the Corporation, large sums were being paid for newspapers which no one required. Whenever an article appeared iu favour of the Corporation, that paper wa s purchased, and distributed freely— ' but I nev er found yet that, when the re was an article against the Corporation, the paper was purchased. We omit a sentence with reference to Smithfield-mar ket, of which we will presently speak, to mention that Mr. Labouchere pressed the witness very closely upon this point, and said—" Do you m ean th a t money was sent with articles to the newspapers to secure their insertion ?" Mr. Bennoch replied—" I believe the object was that the news paper authorities might be induced to allow the articles to appear as paragraphs, instead of as advertisements." But let us pass on to the evidence of Mr. Sheriff Wallis —and surely no man is in a better position to know the truth of facts. According to this gentleman, very great corruption prevails in the city elections, more especially in those of aldermen, chamberlain, sheriffs, and Lord Mayor. He had known a s mu c h a s 10,0001. spent to obtain a lucra tive office worth between 2,0001. and 3,0001. a-year. There is no great venality connected with the election to the office of common councilman, simply because the post is not an object of ambition. Mr. Wallis particularised instances. In two contests for the office of Lord Mayor which had come under his notice, as much as 15,0001. had been spent. He told the commissioners, moreover, that he had been per -1 sonally engaged in every contest for the office of chamber lain since he had been an agent, and he had known as much as 10,0001. spent to obtain the appointment. Then, again , aldermen subscribe to secure the return of aldermen. In one instance, to Mr. Wallis's knowledge, 1,900 1 - had b een so subscribed for thepurpose of corrupting the constitueuncyt such as it is.

It would not only be necessary to give the texts of the charters, but in a series of well di gested notes to mark the shortcomings of the civic autho rities. Their obliga tions should have gone land i n hand with their privilege s, but we have ever y reason to sup p os e, that while the privileges have been treated favoure d c hildren, the obligations have been sufferedt as o i l ag sa dly behind.

Coal dues, metage dues, i and tolls have been very s trenuously enforced, and if so much as a little finger was laid upon the city privileges, London has heard of it in very significant language ; but of the services which the corporation was hound to render in return to the kernel of the metropolis we kilow 110 Lune than of Masonic secrets. • Infinite pains appear to ha n taken to coned the cuments in which the ne ssary information was to )4% -nd from the knowl ge of the public ; indeed, it in s, ',ter of grave doubt whether aldermen themselves are at acquainted with the duties they and their predecessors were bound to discharge. They have acted, however, upon the instinct of concealment, just as ravens do when they filch a silver spoon and bury it in some hole, of which only they have the secret. " Their policy," said Mr. Pulling in his evidence of Friday last before the commis sioners, "is to conceal their charters. Their instructions to their officers are to deny the public access to them, although I contend that they ought to be accessible to every citizen of London." There are in existence 200 cha rters relating to the City ' • of these, 20, and probably th e most important, are n o t even in - p Ant. The City makes claims founded upon the charters, but never produces the documents themselves. It is very possible that the strik ing reluctance evinced on many occasions by the legal ad visers of the Corporation to enforce claims against recalci— trants arises from the fear of what must follow if they produced parchments which would bear witness to their wrongs as well as to their rights. At any rate, their own 4;ubious course of proceeding loaves them open to the full license of conjecture. Mr. Pulling told the commissioners that there are at least 250 local acts of Parliament in force, applicable to the City, as well as the 200 charters, and it is much to be hoped that one of the earliest fruits of the labours of the commissioners will be a digest of this valua ble body of information. If the necessary documents are given to the world, no doubt some editor of sufficient an tiquarian, as well as legal knowledge, will quickly step forward and let us somewhat into the arcana imperil of the London corporation. Thanks to Mr. Pulling, we find ourselves in a condition to point out at least one notable example of a neglected duty—of an obligation imposed upon the London corporation by act of Parliament, which has been altogether neglected, and that for the obvious purpose of gain. We should, perhaps, rather say that the corporation of London have set an act of Parlia ment at defiance in a matter which closely touched the health, comfort, and convenience of the citizens, in order that they might make their profit of the violation. It will, no doubt, be as much a matter of surprise to our readers as it was to ourselves, when they hear that an act of Parliament was passed in the days of Charles 11. which directed that the river Thames should be embanked from London-bridge to the Temple, and that no houses should be built there. Houses, and warehouses, and streets have been built, as the world knows, along the northern bank of the river, under the name of " Thames-street," ; but it may not be as generally known that a considerable portion of the revenues of the Corporation is derived from that very property, and that they enjoy it in direct viola tion, not to say in direct defiance, of an act of Parliament. That is the reason why we have no Thames embank ment, and why the capital of the English empire is fairly obnoxious to the reproach of having neglected that feature in its position which might have been converted into its greatest beauty and adornment. The neglect, however, or rather the illegal act of the Corporation, dates from an earlier time. They were not only bound to maintain the river in its course by the provisions of the act of Parlia ment indicated ; the obligation dates from an earlier epoch. Among the earliest functions claimed by the mem bers of the Corporation is the conservancy of the river Thames. Whether they take it by charter or custom we cannot say. In bygone ages, as in our own time, it was necessary to keep the river Thames within its channel by artificial embankments. It is evident that in times beyond memory it has changed its bed. The irreenlar deposit of gravel in various places, and the uniform covering of loam which is found above it, offer a satisfac tory proof of the fact. It was a matter of great conse quence that the channel of the river should be exactly maintained, at least where it flowed through the actual buildings of the town. A n embankment of sufficient strength was the only obvious course for securing this benefit, and this the wisdom of our ancestors—which is here no empty phrase—attempted to provide. They might well have supposed that, as years rolled on, other advan tages besides the one which they had immediately in view would follow from their most wise and salutary precaution. At this moment, had not the Corporation been guilty of so flagrant a violation of the act of Charles 11., and of so gross a neglect of their own duties as conservators of the Thames, we shpuld have been placed in a most favourable position for carrying out the great system of trunk sewer age, according to which all the liquid refuse of the town might be conveyed away to any distant spot which might be desirable, without polluting the waters of the river. The duty has been neglected and the statute set at defiance. Here are Mr. Pulling's words :—" Being the conservators of the Thames, they have been in the habit of granting leave to encroach upon the banks of the Thames, and to do that very thing which the office of conservators directed them to prevent others from doing." Mr. Pulling then goes on to describe the act of Charles 11. and its objects, and then adds :—" Hundreds of houses have, however, been built, as we all know, along Thames-street ; and I believe, although I am not in their secrets, that a very con siderable portion of the property of the Corporation is de rived from the rents of that very property which has been obtained by encroachment upon the bed of the Thames, con• truly to their trust." This, however, is only one point, as any of our read ers may qu i c kl y enoug h perceive who w i l l b e a t the pains of referring to Mr. Pulling's evidence. We have not space to quote it at length, but we should add, that it appears the city claims to hold lands in mortmain, dating the claim from the days of the Fourth Edward. Under this claim they receive a large revenue from rents and quit rents. " The greater number of these rents and quitrents is derived from property which I conceive they clearly had for the purposes of a trust, of which trust they have com mitted a breach." These are heavy charges, referring to most important matters, and involving very deep culpa bility, if they be sustained. We give them with every circumstance of time, place, and person, in order that the answer, which is inevitable, may be as precise as the charge. If the points be made out, the only possible excuse or palliation which the Corporation can offer for their viola tion of a most sacred trust is their own crass ignorance. But can this plea be sustained ? An alderman is not pre sumed to have the requisite agility of mind for threading his way through charters and acts of Parliament, but at least, as Alderman of London, he has ample means at his disposal for commanding the highest legal skill and ability in the country. Why have the charters been con cealed and studiously kept from the knowledge of the public ? If there was a consciousness of neglected duty with regard to the charters, why not with regard to the acts of Parliament ? It should be observed that this case is clearly distinguishable from that of a pri vate proprietor, who may not unreasonably object to grant permission for strangers to sport over his title deeds. He may well desire that the requisite wave of time should pass over his muniments of title Wore dealers in subtleties and conveyancing points have access to them. We pre sume him to have purchased in good faith, and therefore entitled to guard his possession as the return for his pur chase-money. But—with a Corporation—with a public body holding large revenues in trust for public objects, the case is different. They, at least, should have no secrets from the world, and should desire nothing more earnestly than that any stranger should inform them of an error in the discharge of their duties and obligations. Secrecy and concealment offer strong presumptions against good faith in such a case as that of the Corporation of London. mat MI?. PELLATT AND HIS CONSTITUENT& A public meeting of the electors and non-electors of Southwark, was held last evening, at the Literary In stitution, Borough-road, at the instance of Mr. A. Pellatt, M.P., to receive from the hon. gentleman an ex planation of his conduct during the short period he has had the honour of being one of their representatives in Parliament. Mr. PELLATT, M.P., who was received with loud demonstrations of applause, expressed the pleasure which he felt in redeeming the pledge he had given. For the first few months of the session he had sought rather to take lessons in Parliament than to obtrude himself on the attention of the house, and in listening to the eloquence of men like Russell, Graham, Gladstone, and Williams, he had derived much advantage. He had given his support to the present Government, and in particular to the budget of Mr. Gladstone, because it dealt radically with many subjects ; amongst others, the duty on soap was entirely abolished, and the Ministry had entitled themselves to the thanks of the country for the measure imposing the duty on successions. (Cheers.) The landowners had long enjoyed an unjust exemption from this duty—the fact being that they were averse to tax themselves ; but Mr. Gladstone had overcome their resistanc e .

(Hear, hear.) In every•case he would have a religious, but not a sectarian education. (Cheers.) He had voted for the ballot and short Parlia ments, and should consider no measure of reform com plete without those points. He was only induced to support the income tax, with all its inequalities, in the belief that it would be extinguished at the time promised by Mr. Gladstone. He should vote for the removal of the duty on paper and of the stamp duty on newspapers, believing them to be an efficient means of popular edu cation. (Cheers.) A vote of approbation having been posed upon Mr. Pellatt, the meeting separated.
