NTEW INVENTIONS.—The Americans, always fond of the "go-a-head" system, and determined 'o destroy the barriers of rudeness, time, and apace by several inventi ins they are about to bring out. The Eml.sh, practical and calculating, are in advance with almost every other nation in the success which atten's all their introductions, and have distinguished themselves by the economising properties of their Inventions. On this side of the Atlantic it is quite customary to say " What will the invention save ?" for that is a great essential of improvements. In the most businesslike sense this applies to the Establishment of E. MOSES and Sort, whose inventions in ATTIhE are the climax of alt modern im provements, by an unity of speed and correctness in the execution f orders, and combination of styles, comfort, and economy in every seasonable artiie of dress. E. MOSES and Sox's new inventions in OVERCOATS, over all preten ed imitations, are perfectly victorious in material, in fashion, in comfort, and cheapness E. lit osEs and Sox's new introductions in Sporting Dress are the approved and the most business-like inventions of the age, affording perfect ease in all sporting exercises, and presenting a most gentle manly appearance at an economical coat. E. MOSES and SON'S Juvenile Dress exhibits the most ingenious Inventions, and combine novelties no; to be equalled elsewhere The largest stock of Hosiery Goods in the world at E MOSES and SON'S show the newest inventions of every country in the universe, and arc practically a great saving to purchasers.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENTS. Messrs. Cameron and Mar—tin,-10,--ia;-iaftiCe-yard, Westminster. The committee for the formation of a railway between Inverness and Nairn. hold themselves justified in submitting the scheme to the public at this time, as being of great importance to the locality , a step towards the full benefit of through railway commu nic a ti on for the Northern Counti es, an d as aff or ding swell-grounded as surance of proving a r emunerat i ve i nves tment for capital. The fertile and popul ous di s t r i c t which ft is proposed to intersect comprises the seaport and market towns of Inverness and Nairn, several villages at which important markets are held, the Ferries of Kessock and Chanonry, the Military Station of Fort George, and the Basin and Quay s of the Caledonian Canal. The committee would also call attention to the fact that upon this district converge of necessity the main lines of communication between the North and West, and the East and South of Scotland; and that the proposed line must form a common centre and connect ing link in all future development whatsoever of the railway system throughout the Northern Counties. The length of the line will be 15% miles, and it is proposed at first to lay down a single line of rails ; but the land to be purchased and bridges constructed for a double line. COST AND TIME OF COMPLETION. With regard to the expense of constriction, it is enough to state that the line has been examined by Mr. Falshaw, of Perth, and a joint offer has been received from• Mr. Brassey, the eminent railway contractor, and Mr. Faishaw, to complete the entire railway, with works and stations, within ten months after the passing of the act, Being little more than 4,000/. a mile; and they aeree to take a payment of 20,000/. of the con tract price in stock. The land compensation, rolling stock, and all ex penses, Including provision for a debt upon the new Nairn-road, will be covered, it is calculated, In all .............. •• .. .. • • £85,000 0 0 Or 5,5 , 101. a mile. Of this one-fourth may be raised by loan. All the proprietors a•ong the line are favourable, and in almost every instance have expressed their readiness to accept a feu-duty, if desired, base I on the agricultural value of the land required for the works. It is well to remark here that the averatte cost of railways in Scot [and hitherto has exceeded 30,0001. per mile. TRAFFIC. In 1845 traffic tables were carefully compiled from actual obser vation, and there has since been a material increase. From these tables an estimate has been prepared. There exists a large pasFenger trame, carried by three stage coaches daily each way. The ascertained numbers by these and by other public and by private conveyances in 1845 were 29,258, Inde pendent of horse anil foot passengers Besides the transit of ordinary agricultural produce and require ments, and general merchandise, large exports are made from Inver ness and Nairn of potatoes and grain, and of wood as return cargo for coal and lime. ' At Nailn there are freestone quarries of superior quality—the nearest and cheapest for all th: country westwards. These quarries will supply Inverness and neighbourhood—the carriage of building materials being expensive at present, and will, unquestionably form a large source of traffic. Cattle are sent from the Muir of Ord and other northern markets to the Eastern Counties, and considerable numbers of sheep pass by this route to Nairnshire and Morayshire for wintering. The market already open to the fishing population of Nairn, In nverness and its vicinity, will be rendered thoroughly accessible, while the sea-bathing and baths of Nairn will form a permanent attraction to the inhabitants of Inverness and neighbourhood. From this it appears that there is R large existing passenger traffic, a considerable trmffic in general merchandise, agricultural produce, manures, cattle and sheep, coals and timber. _ The carriage of mails and small parcels, &c., may be also taken into account. These comprehend the local traffic. Railway facilities have, invariabl , . more than doubled the number of passengers. They will stimulate all the present, and develop several new sources of traffic. According to the calculations made—the result of actual observa tion in 1845—the local revenue is set down at 9,6001. a-year. The above estimate is at the rate of It per mile per week-day each way, being less than a third of the average railway returns of Scotland. Indeed, disappointment has never been experienced in anticipated railway traffic. The losses which have accrued have arisen in all cases through extravagant outlay. When the through lines of c mmunlcation are completed, a great proportion of the large trAftic of the northern and central High lands will, in addition, be eventually conveyed along the line. Indeed, this will, to a certain extent, arise, as regards passengers, on the opening of the line ; for then the line from Aberdeen to nanny, now in progress, will be completed, and railway communi cation be thus extended northwards from Aberdeen no less than 57 miles. As an instance of successful railway enterprise in the north, the promoters may draw attention to the line between Elgin and Lossiemouth, where, although there existed no constant public coach, the line, with the many drawbacks of a first year's traffic, has yielded a return to the shareholders of 5 per cent. The number of passengers exceeded 711,000 in twelve months. RETURNS.

Nowadays, with that dreadful scourge of the Cholera lurking in the bye-lanes of the metropolis, it may not be inadvisable to recal a few startling facts about Deaths and Burials to the popular re collection. Trite many of them are—but even the tritest of them seem to be forgotten. It was observed in a recent number of the Builder—" The cholera is proceedino . in London in its fatal course; death appears in the old spots, and under the usual sanitary conditions, and the measures adopted are not yet equal to the emer gency. Foremost amongst the steps urgently re quired, we would place the removal and avoidance of cesspools, the closing of graveyards, and arrange ments for the speedy and proper burial of the dead." In testimony of the necessity for the latter course of proceeding just now, the subjoined incident was thereupon recounted by our contemporary : A FOUL ABOMINATION. " A fatal case of cholera occurred a few days since in Ashby-street, close to the Paradise' of King's-cross—a street without any drainage , and full o f cesspoo l s, a l rea d mentioned in the Builder. This death took place in the back parlour on the ground floor abutting on the yard con taining a foul cesspool and entrapped drain, and where the broken pavement, when pressed with the foot, yielded a black, pitchy, half-liquid matter in all directions. The inhabitants, although Irish, agreed to attend to all advice given to them as far as they were able, and a coffin was offered to them by the parish. They said that they would like to wait until the next mornin g (it was on Thursday even ing that th e woman di e d), as the son was anxious, if he could raise the money, to bury his mother himself ; but they agreed, conti ary to their custom on such occasions, to lock up the corpse at twelve o'clock at night and allow no one to be in the room. On Friday, the day after death, the woman was buried, and so far it was creditable to these poor people, since they gave up their own de sires and customs which bade them retain the body. Is what followed equally creditable to the arrangements in St. Pancras ? We think not. This corpse was brought to Old St. Pancras graveyard, when, will it be believed, it was actually placed near the top of a pit 20 feet deep, con taining two rows of full-grown coffins, which from time to time had been placed there until the pile reached within a few feet of the surface. The effluvium from this pit was abominable ; children were p ac k e d i nto the corners, so that not an inch of ground might b e l os t ; and here during Saturday all this pitful of dead bodies, some o f whom had, perhaps, fallen by fever and small-pox, together with the woman who had died of cholera, were left with out a sprinkling of earth upon them. n the Saturday after noon the hole remained uncovered, waiting for more. Pro bably on Sunday the complement was obtained and the heap was made complete ; and then a few spadefuls of soil would be thrown over this mass of corruption to hide it from sight. Surely not a day should be lost in putting a stop to such disgraceful and dangerous proceedings. Wh o can, with justice, find fault with the improvidence and obstinacy of the poor when we see such doings on the part of those who are in authority and ought to be better in formed ?" Does anybody feel amazement at this—regarding it as scarcely credible ? Let them remember that ten years ago—not in 1853, but in 1843—the same kind of atrocities were inveighed against by one of the most eloquent, and earnest, and practical of living philanthropists. Listen to this letter to the Lancet, written on the 28th of November, 1843 and which may not inaptly be headed PHILANTHROPY AT HOME AND ABROAD. " Sir,—l regret to be in a condition to confirm the cor rectness of your correspondent, Dr. Epps, whose commu nication on ' The Prevalence of Eruptions,' was given in the Lancet of Nov. 4, page 852 ; for although seldom called upon to perform vaccination, the prevalence of eruptive diseases in children, during `the whole past period of the present year,' has constantly forced itself upon my notice and attention, whilst unusually severe diarrhcca, obstinate (and, in two instances, fatal) dysentery, I have seen the prevailing (epidemic) diseases of adults. The acute exan themata, scarlatina, and measles, have been more frequent. in my practice than at any period during my previous eight years' experience in this neighbourhood. " In several cases of rubeola (measles) the congestion and subsequent inflammation of the lungs have been of an unusually severe character. In a few cases of scarlatina maligna that have come, incidentally and otherwise, under mylnotice, the parotid, submaxillary, sublingual, and entire chain of cervical glands, have been inflamed, and exces sively increased in size. " - Eight children, of various ages, have been treated for acute and chronic pemphigus. In two of these cases, the bullm were of unusual size, and discharged, in rapid suc cession, a most irritating fluid, which excoriated the sur rounding parts. Four cases of purpura, have been under treatment. All my young patients had been well and. sufficiently nourished. " I consider, sir, that children are the truest (barometri cal ?) indices of the sanitary condition of a crowded neigh bourhood. The acute exanthemata, more especially, the stock diseases of all such localities in the present shamefully neglected condition of the earth's surface and sub-surface, find in them the earliest, the most interesting, and the most suffering victims. " When children of a larger growth shall be fully awakened to the conviction that in many localities disease is `manufactured by wholesale,' to be treated by ' retail ;' when individuals or bodies of persons who, blessed with the means to do good and the leisure to execute, will, in stead of crusading for the evangelisation of transmarine , heathen, attempt (and by the only sensible and immedi ately practicable means) to Christianise our own ; when they will take as much care of the breed of the human as they do of the higher order of domestic animals ; when men, women, and children who, in thousands of instanc es , are worse lodged, worse fed, and worse treated than the horses of the rich in their stables, or the beasts of the Zoological Gardens in their dons, are, for the first time, anxiously and efficiently cared for; when the spurious, the rotten philanthropy above hinted at, instead of pa thetically lamenting the moral depravity of the millions whom it has never seen ' • will set itself seriously to wor k to improve the temporal condition of our own unhappy. too frequently degraded and brutalised poor ; when it shall study poor human nature in detail instead of in the mass ; go into the so-called houses and neighbourhoods in which so many of our fellow-creatures vegetate, like fungi, not live like men ; it will be the agent in producing enormous, incalculably beneficial results—results that would be felt in the minutest and most intricate ramifications of the great human family. .‘ The annihilation of easily-recognised sources of discom fort and disease, with their invariable concomitants, would by degrees produce great moral and physical re sults. The patriot, the moralist, and the divine would ultimately discover and appreciate the invaluable truth, that however sincere and anxious the ministers of religion may be to elucidate, explain, and enforce the great truths of Christianity, the promises (to the poor, more especially) of a happier, indefinite, non-tangible future, would have a thousandfold more influence on their lives and conduct than under the existing order of things ; be cause the fin ger o f sophistry, scorn, and derision could not then point with the self-satisfaction and malignity of a fiend to the tangible, terrible realities of the present.
