TRAFFIC.

------ -
In 1845 traffic tables were carefully compiled front actual obser-
Z:tion, and there has since been a material increase. From these
lees an estimate has been prepared.
There exists a large pas enger traffic, carried by three stare
yachts daily each way. The ascertained numbers by these and by
ether._ public and by private conveyances in 1845 were 29,258, inde-
vwlent of horse and foot passengers
Besides the transit of ordinary agricultural produce and require-
tneer
So and general merchandise, large exports are made from Inver.
aces
and Nairn of potatoes and train, and of wood as return cargo
for coal and lime.
At Nairn there are freestone quarries of superior quality—the
dearest and che ti.st for all th country westwards. These quarries
7in supply Inverness and neighbourhood —the carriage of building
materials being expensive at present, and will, unquestiena ly form
large source of traffic.
4,, Cattle are sent from the Muir of Ord and other northern market,
,";.' the Eastern Counties, and considerable numbers of sheep pass by
',la route to Nairnshire and Morayshire tor sintering.
The market already open to the fishing population of Nairn. In
r:verness and its vicinity. will be rendered thoroughly accessible,
v
hlie the sea-bathing and oaths ot Nairn will form a permanent
attraction to the inhabitants of Inverness And neighb .urhood.
_ From this it appears that there is a large existing passenger traffic,
Zeonsiderable traffic in general merchandise, agricultural produce,
manures, cattle and sheep, coals and timber.
he carriage of mails and small parcels, &c., may be also taken
Late account.
These comprehend the local traffic.
.Railmay facilities have. invarlabl , more than (lout led the number
11 Passengers. They will stimulate all the pres nt, and develop
"tveral new sources of traffic.
, According to the calculations made—the result of actual observe-
‘,Ort In 1845.-the local revenue is set down at 9,5001. a-year. The
awe estimate is at the rate of 11 per mile per week-day each ws",
Bing less th-n 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 '
eaarll.through extravagant outlay.
"'hen the through lines of c mmunication are completed, a great
°Portion of the large tr iffic of the northern and c ntral High-
lands will, in addition, be eventually conveyed along the line.

this will, to a certa'n extent, arise, as regards passengers,
1,2 the epening of the li is ; for then the line from Aberdeen to
untlY, now in progress, will becompleted, and railway communi-
cation be thus extended northwards from Aberdeen no less than 67
tone,.
As an instance of successful railway enterprise in the north, the
Oanloters may draw attention to the line between Elg n and
to:siernouth, where, although there existed no constant public
