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, Ferree, and Elgin, the Committee con-
sider that there is no situation in Scotland which affords a more cer-
tain prospect of profitable investment.
The co: retry 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 mbet im-
portant market towns of the north of Scotland, in which at least fifty
considerable markets arc 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,
Burghead, and Lossiemouth, it comprises the basins and
quayso of nthe Caledonian Canal, and the military station of Fort
George..
Along the main line from Inveess to Elgin, besides a large paht
s-
senger traffic, by posting and private conveyances, there are eig
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 Legge-
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 tradewhich
has hitherto besm carried on by a steamer and sailing vessels, plying
between the Moray and Nairnshire coast and the Little Ferry in
Sutherlantishire, as, on the opening of the railway, regular and
efficient steam communication between these points and °there on
the Sutherland and Caithness coasts will necessarily be established.
By these arrangements, in addition to thl 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 45. for each passenger,
yields

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, neoesssry
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 or 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 weld end of the line will connect with the
Caledonian Canal, which originally cost 1,000,0001., and on the im-
provement of which 200,000/. are now in the coarse 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 s'eamers 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, &c., 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 eonstitutteg an important link in the direct east and west
communication of this 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 Shares 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.

G. and P. Anderson; solicitors, and Mr. Charles Stewart, solicitor,

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 the 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 construct
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 Junction lines, 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 lino to Evesham, and from
thence by Sedgeberrow, Dumbleton, 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
Derbysidi% 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
future 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. I'. W. Thomas and Son, 50, Threadneedle-
street, London ; H. J. Williams, 80, Old Broad-street, London ; For-

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 laxd.
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.
I told him that birds n crc all waiting to sing,
And that you had prepared your new stock for the Spring.
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, betbre 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,
THE " CLERK OF THE WEATHER."

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 teOasingstoke. From
theme it will proceed by Whitchureh, Andovef, and Salisbury, to
Yeovil. By whichmeans the connexion between the East and West
Coasts of England will be complete.
A further 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 SO 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,
Trowlorldge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, :Whitchurch,
Andover, Vire,11111• with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port,
St albridge, and Ilehester,mitlfthe-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 the 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.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the tebto six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the otR tal authorities of the Houses of
Farliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
enter largo establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry M eter, bnt, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his

meters.
Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be fixwarded by post),
five of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.
Warranted to keep correct in all weathers.

that these being the London Cash Prices, the Country Dealer must
charge higher to cover his expenses of carriage. Where no dealer
can be found willing to sell them, Edward Price and Co. will supply
quantities of not less than Si. worth, direct from their manufactory,
at Belmont, Vauxhall. On receiving a Post-office order for this
amount, they will forward Candles and Oil in the proportions that
may be directed ; or, to parties wishing for samples and unable to
veare
taking recommended
obtain them, they will, on receiving a 1/. Post-office order, forward a
box containing 31bs of each of the four sorts of Candles, and: a
gallon of the Oil. They fix the price of the sample box so high, to
avoid all suspicion of their wishing to interfere with the retail trade
of the Country Dealers.
The trade may obtain the above Candles and 011 wholesale, in
London, from Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; Palmer
and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell ; and W. Marchant, 253, Regent-

WEATHER PREDICTIONS.—AII who de-
light In this foreknowledge should purchase, without loss
of time, GRIAISTONE'S WEATHER ALAIANACK, whose predic-
tions of the weather, from his publication to the present day, have
been checked by many proprietors of newspapers and other works.
The " Times" has eulogised its correctness and peculiar mode of
printing; see page ST. The "John Bull," published its usual check,
Dec. 22, 1844, giving it, indeed, 336 correct- daily predictions : see
copy, pages 52 and 54. Also, "The Sun," the " Globe," the " Era,"
the " Post," " Herald," " Chronicle." " Satirist," " Punch," and
many others, have noticed the correctness of this unique work.
Amongst the great variety of matter, is an interesting biography of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert while at the College of Bonn ; else
useful Chronology, Royal Family, both Houses of Parliament, Summary
of Population of the British Empire, Popular ion of the chief towns and
cities; a Calendar, containing Sur days, festivals, anniversaries,
phenomenons, chronological events, moon's age, eclipses, tides, gar-
deners' monthly calendar, a column for the weather of every day;
pages 3 to 25. Stamps, assessed taxes, &c. ; a list of bankers.
Copies of 31 letters from ladies annd gentlemen of the highest
respectability, cured of ophthalmia, gutta serena, cataract, deafness,

ations in French, Italian, and Spanish : pages 59, 60, 61, 62, 63.

roving the great advantages arising from the constant use of Grim-
tone's Eye Snuff having been the cause of clearing our streets of the
many green eye-shades, and other human disfigurements. It is the
only fashionable snuff of the day sold under the authority of the
Lords of the Treasury and Royal Family. Grimstonc's Weather
Almanack is a beautiful pocket size, with a steel engraving repre-

Martin's-le-Grand, General Post-office, Inland Department,
October 9, 1844.
Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under a
nervous deafness, so much so at times as to he almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4s. 4d. eallisters,'arter taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I comineneed taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, W H. ADAMS.
