The present time seems to be peculiarly suitable for the establish-
ment of the proposed Linu of Railway.
_The works upon the Inver-
ness and Nairn line have been commenced, and the contractors un-
dertake that the line shall be open for traffic by the Ist of August
next. On the other hand, the chain of Railway communication on
the south is complete as tar as the town of linntly, and measures are
understood to be in progress for extending the line northward f. om
Huntly.
In these circumstances, it has been thought desirable to apply to
Parliament, in the ensuing session for the incorporation of a Com-
pany for making a Railway from Nairn to Elgin, which shall com-
plete the communication between Inverness and Elgin. The com-
pany will thus be in a position to commence the necessary works
next summer, and thereby, with the least possible delay, to place
the fair and ancient province of Moray on such a footing, with regard
to Railway communication, that the laying down of an ironway
throughout its whole extent, from the Beauly to the Spey, and un-
interrupted connection with the Southern markets must immediately
follow.

With this view, applications have been made to all the principal
proprietors along the line, who have, without exception, declared
themselves favourable to the enterprise, and ready o afford facilities
for its construction. The plans have been finishes!, minute estimates
of the cost have been made, and the line has been gone over and
examined by contractors of the highest respectability ; and the pro-
Moters have no doubt that the works will he undertaken by them
La* a sum which, together with the purchase of land, rolling stock,
Dieliminary expenses, and all other charges necessary for tine com-
pletion of the undertaking, will certainly not exceed *400,0001., or
80001. a mile, including bridges over the Nairn Findhorn, and
Lossie. For this film the Company will be in ptsiession of a single
line of railway—double wherever this is necessary for its efficient
working—and with bridges built and land purchased r a double
line; And the promoters are in a position to state, that the c ,ntrac-
tors with whom they have been In communication will be prepared
to take Payment ot one•thlrd of the cost of the works in stock.
The Engineering Works—from the level-nature of the country,
and the light gravelly roil over which the line for the most part
Passes—are of a simple character, and are certain to be completed
Within the specified time. •
Besides the large local traffic arising from the line passing through
the centre of the richly cultivated and populous county of %I oray.
this Railway, when connected with the Great North of Scotland
Railway, now in progress of extension, will form part of the great
through communication from Inverness by Aberdeen to the south.
From the character of the count** the line can never be exposed to
railway competition.
Through the Inverness and Nairn Railway—with the directors of
Which the proniOters of this undertaking are in cordial co-operation
—the line will be enabled to communicate with the Caledonian Canal
at Inverness, and thereby to establish a connection with the large
and rapidly-increasing traffic flowing along that great artery of corn-
nautticatirn to it,,cl from the counties of Bnnff, Moray, and Nairn.
At its other extremity, the line will communicate with t,te Elgin and
Lossiemouth Railway, and the port of Lossiemouth. Besides these,
the Railway will receive the traffic; of the several ports of Nairn,
Findhorn, and ilurehead.
. _

Careful, observations of the traffic, made in 1845, with a view to a
Railway from Inverness to Elgin, showing a local revenue amply
sufficient to yield a liberal return upon a railway of a much more
expensive nature. Since that period, however, the wealtl and
traffic of the district have been materially augmented, and are still
rapidly increasing.
Taking the basis of the observations of 1845, the result will be as
follows :

Estimated amount of local revenue 421,000 0 0
Deduct 40 per cent. for working expenses 8,400 0 0

£12,600 0 0
Of Interest on 60,0004 borrowed ...... 2,000 0 0

Leaving.• ... ..••£10,600 0 0

For division, on a called•up capital of 150,0001., or a dividend of 7
per cent, immediately after the opening of the line, with the cer.
tainty of a large eventual increase.
The undertaking, therefore, presents these remitter advantages:-
1. It will be completed and opened for working in two years from
the passing of the act.
2. It will cost only 8,0001. a mile, for a single line, while the
average cost of railways in Scotland, with a double line o:
rails, has been 30,0001. a mile.
3. While the average return per mile per annum; in Scotland, has
been 2,0001., a sum of only 8501. per mile per annum, on
this line, will yield a dividend of 7 per cent.
4. The line, from its situation, secures in perpetuity the whole
through railway traffic passing northward of Elgin from
Aberdeen, and passing eastward of Nairn from the Western
and Northern Highlands.
5. The line will be worked in connection with the Inverness and
Nairn Railway, under efficient Parliamentary powers,
whereby the facilities of transit will he on the one hand
greatly increased, while on the other hand the working ex-
penses will be greatly economised.
6. Lines of this character, constructed at a moderate cost, in the
north of Scotland, have proved highly remunerative, as in-
stanced in the Lossiemouth and Deeside Railways, recently
opened—both of which have returned dividends of 3 per
cent. on the first year's traffic.
7. The promoters are justified in stating that payment of one-
third of the cost of the works will be taken in stock, as a
• guarantee for the due completion of the undertaking, and
in evidence of the conviction of its soundness as a commer-
cial enterprise.

The eseontial object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Mane
kood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
?rinciples of personal manaremcnt which cannot be violated without
ietceurrheinygdagy orier inconsiderateun
Pe'nnitie'and when wisdom and regret succeed
h ' solf-inplgence, how these penalties
Tay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
end how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any dove° of ally:llea] intlrmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid cf science cannot apply a cure.
TheAnthor ha: for a serice of years been engaged in an extensive
