Great George-street, Westminster.
The Board of Trade has reported in favour of the line from Aber-
deen to the south. The Bill for this line is now in progress through
Parliament ; and, with the already existing lines, and others recom-
mended by the Board of Trade, will form a continuous chain of rail-
way communication from Aberdeen to London, in connexion with
Dundee, Perth, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the important towns of
England along the line. The Report of the Board of Trade on Rail-
way Communication in Scotland, and which has been laid before
Parliament, states that " the Aberdeen line southward is a proper
and necessary part of a system of railway communication for the
northern portion of Scotland ; that this line appears to be well laid out,
with a view to the objects which it has to attain ; and that the impon
tance of it is increased by the consideration that a cheap and easy
line, traversing a district of considerable population and local traffic,
is stated to have been surveyed from Aberdeen to Inverness. Should
this be the case, it seems, not improbable that railway communica-
tion to the more northern counties may be extended in this direction."
In accordance with the views thus indicated in the report from
the Board of Trade, it has now been resolved to extend the means of
railway communication northward from Aberdeen to Inverness. The
line will commence at the Aberdeen Company's Station, in the centre
of Aberdeen, and will proceed by Old Aberdeen, along the fertile
valley of the Don, through the burghs of Kintore and Inverury, from
thence through mach,Kinnethmont, and the towns of Huntly, Keith,
Elgin, Forres, and Nairn, on to Inverness, where a very suitable
station can be obtained, and where a convenient communication can
also be formed with the Caledonian Canal. It will thus be seen that
ulfk line passes through the rich and flourishing counties of Aberdeen,
Band, Moray, Nairn, and Inverness, districts of the highest agricul-
tural and manufacturing importance. The local traffic with the city
of Aberdeen, which is the great outlet for their produce. as well as the
market for their supplies of all kinds, is very large ; and the traffic
of the whole northern counties towards England must pass along
this line.
It is also proposed to form three branch lines in eonnexion with,
and at the same time as the trunk line.
1. The first ,to Banff and Portsoy, leaving the main line at
Strathisla.
2. The second to Fochabers, leaving the trunk line neax the poiut
where it crosses the Spey.
3. The third to Lossiemouth or Burghead, from Elgin.
The counties through which the trunk line and branches pass com-
prise within themselves a population (as appears by the census of
1841) of 384,094, in addition to the population of the four northern
counties of Ross, Cromarty, Sutherland, and Caithness, to which this
line will afford an outlet. At various points along the line are to be
found limestone and slate, of the best quality; also ironstone, man-
ganese, and other minerals, the value of which is very great ; re-
quiring only facility of transit for its development. The line has al-
ready been specially approved of by almost every landed proprietor
through whose estates it passes.
Mr. Gibb has Mike great progress with the Parliamentary surveys,
which will be ready to be placed before the Beard of Trade on au
early day, and all necessary steps will be taken to insure the intro-
duction of the measure into Parliament next session.
From the favourable nature of the country, the gradients will be
excellent, and the expense of construction far under that of any rail-
way of similar length ever yet executed in Great Britain. There
will be no tunnel whatever, nor cuttings of any extent throughout
the line. In fact, the rails for nearly one-half of the line may almost
be laid on the existing levels.
The cost of executing the main line and branches Mr. Gibb esti-
mates at under 1,100,0001. And from a report which has been ob-
tained from competent parties employed to value the traffic on the
line since the month of October last, the revenue is computed to be

It is certain also that the traffic, when taken during the summer
months, will exhibit a mush higher aggregate revenue than that here
stated.
A deposit of live per cent. on each share will be required at the
time of allotment, and ur e cent. will be allowed on all pay-
ments to account of callsfo after the Act is obtained till the line is
opened for traffic.

to the undertaking, may be obtained on application to Adam and

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 cot ntry through which it passes is nearly a perfect level. The
length of the line, with the branches to the ports, is 441,4 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 eithei 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 convey antes, between Inverness and Elgin, and
the towns along the line, according to the Parliamentary rules,
amount to 87,640, which, at the average of 4a. 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, neoessary
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 1,000,0001., and on the Im-
provement of which 200,0001. 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 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, &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 constituting 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 glares 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.
