The present time seems to be peculiarly saitable for the establish.
ment of the proposed Lin of Railway. The works upon the Inver-
ness and Nairn line nave been commenced, and the contractors un-
dertake that the line shall be open for traffic by the Ist of August
next. On the other hard, the chain of Railway communication on
the south is complete as tar as the town of Huntly, and measures are
understood to be in progress for extending the line northward f om
In these circumstances, it has been thought desirable to a,ply 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 the-eby, 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 mast immediately

With this view, applications have been made to all the principal
proprie:ors 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 finisher, 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 be undertaken by them
for a sum which, together with the purchase of land, rolling stock.
Prelhninary expenses, and all other charges necessary for the com-
pletion of the undertaking, will certainly not exceed e 00,0001., or
B'oool- a mile. including bridges over the Nairn Findhorn, and
.ossie. For this sum the Comp y
an will be In possession of a single
line of railway—double wherever this is necessary for its efficient
rTelXing—and with bridges built and land pure raced f4' a double
e. And the promoters are in a position to state, that the contrac-
t_ rs with whom they have been in communication will be prepared
to take
payment of one•third of the cost of the works in stock.
The Engineering Works—from the level nature of the country,
and the light gravelly roll 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
e
centre of the richly cultivated and populo is cotiniy of ,'oray.
this Railway, when connected with the Great No,th or Scot and
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 country the line can mver be exposed to
railway competition.
Through
Le Inverness and !Cairn Railway—with the directors of
Which the promoters of this undertaking are in cordial ce-operation
—the line will be enabled to communicate with the Caledmian Canal
at
Inverness, and thereby to establish a connection with the large
and rapidly-increasing traffic flowl,ig along that great artery of corn-
_
xat n to a' d from the.counties of Banff, Mo-ay, and Nairn.
'ts ether extremity, the line will communicate with V-e Elgin and
!os siemouth Railway, end the port of Lossiemouth. Besides these,
the Railway will receive the traffic of the several ports of Nairn,
Findhorn, and 11urchead.
Careful observations of the traffic, made in 1845, with a view to a
Railvray 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 wealth and
traffic of the district have been materially augmented, and are still
rapidly increasing.
Taking the basis of the observations of 1645, the result will be as
fellows :

Estimated amount of local revenue £21,000 0 0
Dedact 40 per cent. for working expenses 8,400 0 0

X 12,600 0 0
Of interest on 10,0001, borrowed

Leaving • . . .

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, therein e, presents these reculiar advantages:-
1. It will be completed and opened for working in two years from
the passing of the act.
2. It will cost only 8,000/. a mile, for a single line, while the
average cost of railways in Scotland, with a double line o.
rails, has been 30,000/. a mile.
S. While the average return per mile per annum, in Scotland, has
been 2,0007., 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 pass ng 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 be 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 5 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.
