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 communication
for the Northern Counties, and as affording
swell-grounded
as-
surance of proving a remunerative investment for capital.
The fertile and populous district 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 Quays 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.
