" The Times " Company affords guarantee to persons requiring the
same at the lowest possible rate, and divides four-fiths of the profits.
Thus, by applying the justly popular principle of mutuality to public
guarantee, the premiums, instead o' being a tax upon honesty, be-
come a means of saving and investment.
Rates —From 7s. 6d. upwards. No charge for stamps or extra
charges. An allowance made in the guarantee premium, where a
life assurance and guarantee are combined.
LIFE ASSURANCE,.
Life assurance, annuities, and endowments. Payments taken
monthly as well as quarterly, &c. Policies indisputable, save in
cases of fraud. Arrangements can be made with this office to pre-
vent the loss of a policy where the assured is unable, from temporary
embarrassment, to keep up the payments.

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 belie& of through railway communication
for the Northern Counties, and as affording a well-grounded as-
surance of proving a remunerative investment for capital.
The fertile and populous district which it is proposed to intersect
comprises the seaport and market toss ns of Inverness and Nairn,
several villages at which important markets are held, the Ferries
of Aessock and Chanon y, the Military Station of Fort George, and
the Basin and Quays o: the Caledonian Canal.
The commi. tee wop'd also call attention to the fact that upon
this dish let converge of necessity the main Imes of communication
between the North and West, and the East and South of Scotland ;
and thot the proposed line must form a common centre and connect.
Ng link in all futu-e development wnatooever of the railway system
throughout the Northern Courties.
The length of the line will be 1.534 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.
