In submitting to the public a scheme for the construction of a rail-
way along the south shore of the Moray Frith, and connecting the
towns of Inverness, Nairn, Forres, and Elgin, the Committee con-
sider that there is no situation in Scotland which affords a more cer-
tain prospect of profitable investment.
The col:ntry through which it passes is nearly a perfect level. The
length of the line, with the branches to the ports, is 44% miles. The
main line passes from Inverness to Elgin, through the towns of Nairn
and Forres. The whole adjacent district is rich and fertile, and con-
tains a large and thriving population. It includes ten of the most im-
portant market towns of the north of Scotland, in which at least fifty
considerable markets are annually held.
Within this district, also, and branching off to the south of the
main line, lie the fertile valleys of the Spey, Findhorn, and Nairn,
and the Great Glen of Scotland, between which and the different
towns along the line, and the sea-ports, there is an extensive and
daily increasing intercourse.
This district is so situated, that all the main highways from the
north and west, including those by the ferries of Kessock and Fort
George, centre upon it. Besides the ports of Inverness, Nairn,
Findhorn, Burghead, and Lossiemouth, it comprises the basins and
quays of the Caledonian Canal, and the military station of Fort
George.
Along the main line from Inverness to Elgin, besides a large pas-
senger traffic, by posting and private conveyances, there are eight
daily coaches (four each way). The traffic must be greatly increased
when a more rapid communication is opened up between the termini
and the intermediate towns and villages.
Another and large additional traffic will be brought upon the line
by the London, Leith, and Aberdeen steamers, which call at Lossie-
mouth and Burghead, landing their passengers for Inverness, Nairn,
and the country beyond, at either of these ports, instead of taking
them, as at present, by the circuitous route to Invergordon, where
they are detained for several hours.
The line will also afford great additional facilities to the trade which
has hitherto been carried on by a steamer and sailing vessels, plying
between the Moray and Nairnshire coast and the Little Ferry in
Sutherlandshire, as, on the opening of the railway, regular and
efficient steam communication between these points and others on
the Sutherland and Caithness coasts will necessarily be established.
By these arrangements, in addition, to the existing traffic by land,
and that carried on by steamers to Inverness, the greater part of the
traffic, both in goods and passengers, from Inverness to Sutherland
and Caithness, will be brought along the line.
The inquiries into the traffic, which have been carefully made, show
the following results:—
The annual number of passengers of all sorts, and doubling those by '
coach and other conveyances, between Inverness and Elgin, and
the towns along the line, according to the Parliamentary rules,
amount to 87,640, which, at the average of 4s• for each passenger,

The engineering works of the line, from the unusually level nature
of the country, and its passing over a light gravelly soil, are of a very
simple character. There are no tunnels or viaducts, and the country
abounds in all the materials, with the exception of iron, neeessary
for the construction of a Railway.
The capital has been set down at 300,0001., and the revenue, as
above stated, after deducting the usual allowance for working ex-
penses, and assuming one-third of the capital to be borrowed, ac-
cording to the ordinary practice of Railway Companies, at the usual
rate of interest, shows a clear return of upwards of eight per cent.
It is proposed, in the first place, to lay down a single line of rails,
with the usual passing places, until the traffic shall be more fully de-
veloped. The bridges are, however, to be built, and the land pur-
chased, for a double line. .
Besides the advantages above enumerated, arising from the local
traffic, there are other and important sources of revenue, to which it
is proper to advert. The west end of the line will connect with the
Caledonian Canal, which originally cost 3,000,0001., and on the im-
provement of which 200,0001. are now in the course of being ex-
pended by Government. These improvements, which will be com-
pleted before the railway comes into operation, will greatly increase
the navigation, both of steamers and sailing•vessels, on the Canal,
along which, even at present, two steamers ply twice a week, while
a large and powerful steamer is to be placed, on the opening of the
Canal, in the direct Liverpool trade, The whole of this extensive
traffic from Glasgow, Liverpool, Bre., towards the counties of Banff,
Nairn, and Moray, must necessarily pass along the proposed Railway.
On the other hand, towards the east, the line will be continued by
the contemplated railway from Elgin to Aberdeen—thus connecting
all the towns and manufacturing districts on the west of England and
Scotland, through the Caledonian Canal, with the rich agricultural
country to the east of Elgin, and onwards to the city of Aberdeen,
and other towns on the east coast of Scotland.
Besides constituting an important link in the direct east and west
communication of thls part of the kingdom, the present railway must
of necessity form the northern outlet of the contemplated great direct
Central Railway from Perth to Inverness, in continuation of the
Scottish Central and Caledonian Railways, thus completing the
shortest possible line between England and the southern counties of
Scotland and the north ; and, from its position in this respect, the
Inverness and Elgin Railway will become the channel through which
will flow the whole traffic between the north and south.
The Capital will be divided into 15,000 Mares of 201. each. The
Parliamentary Deposit of five per cent. to be paid upon the shares
being allotted, and the Subscribers to sign the Parliamentary Con-
tract and Subscribers' Agreement when required.
Power will be taken to pay interest at four per cent. on the amount
of the subscription paid up till the line is opened, and no subscriber
shall be answerable for more than the amount of his subscription.

This Railway is projected to fill an important link in the great
chain of communication across the country from north-east to south-
west, and accomplish tho object of a line of Railway direct from
the Humber to the Severn, and from Hull and Grimsby, through
Leicester and Coventry, to Gloucester and Bristol.
The length of the line which this Company proposes to conStruet
is about twenty-four miles ; it will immediately unite the London and
Birmingham with the Tring and Worcester and the Birmingham and
Gloucester Railways ; and by means of the Coventry, Bedworth and
Nuneaton and Leicester Juno ion fines, connect itself with the Trent
Valley and Midland Counties Railways. The communications north-
ward and eastward beyond Leicester are completed, or in progress.
This railway is proposed to commence at the station of the War-
wick and Leamington Union Railway, at Leamington, and passing
close by Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon, with stations in both
these towns, will form a junction with the Tring and Worcester Rail-
way near to the latter town, adopt that line to Evesham, and from
thence by Sedgeberrow, Dinnbleton, and Beckford, form a junction
with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway near to Ashchurch,
being the most convenient point of junction with that railway for
Tewkesbury and Cheltenham. The passenger traffic alone must, it
is obvious, be very extensive ; added to which the goods traffic, par-
ticularly that of coals from the Warwickshire, Leicestershire, and
Derbyshire coal fields, as also of agricultural produce, must necessa-
rily be of great extent, and amply remunerative for capital embarked
in the undertaking.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all
fifture calls, from the date of the passing of the Act till the opening of
the railway..
Shares, for a time, will be allotted to parties who may be per-
sonally known to any members of the Provisional Committee, or who
are properly introduced by letter.
Applications for Shares may be addressed, in the annexed form, to
the Solicitors or Local Agents above-named, or to the following Share-
brokers, viz.:—Messrs. P. W. Thomas and Son, 50, Threadneedle-

T' " CLERK OF THE WEATHER"
To E. MOSES and SON.
Dear Sirs,—ln reply to the verses you wrote,
I have taken occasion to send you a note.
I certainly think you have very good reason
To be quite out of patience with Winter's long season.
But, Gentlemen, much brighter days are at hand,
When a beautiful Spring will encircle the land.
You asked me, you know, Messrs. MOSES and SON.
To speak with the Winter, and this I have done.
I inquired how long he intended to stay,
And I said you were all In a terrible way.
1 told him that birds were all waiting to sing,
And that you had prepared your new stock for the gprlug.
I explained that the dresses of MOSES and SON
Could never be worn till the Winter is done.
And when I had talked with the King for a while,
I succeeded in making his Majesty smile ;
And, Sirs, he assured me, beibre I had done,
That he'd not disappoint Messrs. MOSES and SON.
From this I conclude that your opportune rhyme,
Will produce Its effect in a very short time.
And now, in the hope that you'll long trade together,
I remain, yours sincerely,

This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication
between London, Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil,and the West of England,
traversing in its course many wealthy, populous, and important
districts.
It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton
Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford kßasingstoke. From
thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to
Yeovil. By whiehmeans the connexion between the East, and West
Coasts of England will be complete.
A Ruttier and most important feature of the undertaking is, that
by using the line of the South Western Railway from London to
Basingstoke, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct
line of communication with the Metropolis. The distance from
London to Salisbury will be about 80 miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles.
It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ;
viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at
the same time will most materially aid communication between the
ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bristol, a
most desirable object in a national point of view.
A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that
few Railways in the kingdom will form a medium of communication
with a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places.
By it, Salisbury, Sherborne, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford,
Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, :Whitchurch,
Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port,
Stalbridge, and Ilchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages
in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate connexion with each
other, rendering the undertaking eminently calculated to promote the
convenience of public, and certain to yield a large return to its
proprietors.
The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from ac-
tual surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate
cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be-
tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles
proposed to be used of the South Western Railway), and that between
Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, making the entire length of the
line yet to be constructed no more than 105 miles.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
ACTUARY.—J. T. Clement, Esq,
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the
Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of
S percent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual
interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum,
without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been
calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half
the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years,
thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate
payment of the premium for 500/. only.
The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 100/.
for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by
merely paying the interest annually at rive per cent.; and should
the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then
be deducted.

For short periods the Premiums are considerably lower, and for
any ages or contingencies not usually advertised information may be
obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.
FIRE DAPARTMENT.
The Company insure houses, Ibruiture, stock in trade, farming
stock, and every description of personal property, against loss or
damage by fire.
The Directors beg to remind their friends whose Premiums become
due at Lady-day, that no extra charge is made at this Office for the
transfer of Policies, and that they will be rated on terms peculiarly
favourable to parties insuring.
Insurances may be effected for any period of time ; if for seven
years, the Premium and Duty will only be charged for six.

CLARK'S NEW BRILLIANT LIGHT.
Have you seen it ? The nobility, scientific men, and all
who have, admit its positive superiority, and admire its simplicity.
This light causes no smoke, cannot emit blacks, breaks no chimneys,
creates no smell, requires no cleaning, and in its construction is so
simple, that any person can trim it. It is so economical that, while
producing the light of two argand oil lamps, or the light of twenty
candles, it costs no snore than two candles.
This perfect lamp fitted to persons' own pedestals, for 23 shillings,
all complete.
To be seen burning at Clark's Lamp Depot, 447, West Strand (op-
posite Warren's Blacking Manufactory).
Clark and Co. have also an improved Oil Lamp used by Govern-
ment, aid all the great light houses in the world, and only just now
introduced to public notice.

these lamps.
