On the motion of the Rev. J. 0. DAKEYNE ; seconded by THOMAS
lissrrissunr, Esq.—
Resolved,—That this meeting has heard with the utmost satisfac-
tion the decision of the Board of Trade, as it regards their inten-
tion to report to Parliament against the London and York Railway,
and in favour of the Cambridge and Lincoln, so much of the Direct
Northern as lies north of Lincoln, the Nottisgham and Lincoln, and
the Grimsby, Gainsborough, and Sheffield Railways.
That the line from Cambridge through Lincoln to York will be
much more speedily accomplished, and at a much less cost, than the
proposed London and York line, while from the extremely favour-
able nature of the country a rate of spec kits travelling may safely
prevail which secures to this line a nitgirdeaded advantage over the
London and York line. ,
That the extension of the London extremity of the line to Earring-
don-street offers the graziers of Lincolnshire immediate access to
Smithfield ; whereas the terininus of the London and York is at the
distance of two miles front that important market.
2 hat this line southward wi rd the cheapest and relest ace es.
to the m, tropolis and its various ma.kets, and northward will con-
nect r..,n• oinshire wi It Rotherham, Sheffield, and Ma• eh ster, and
by crossing the proposed %% akefleld, I ontetract, and (bole line, and
the Leeds, Selby, and Hull line, will su ply a r:ady c mmunicatien
with all the other West hiding v ark ts, while the prepo ed line
from this city to Nott nOtain will brio this great rgricultural county
into connexion with the populous and import sit mantifiecturing d s-
tricts of Birmingham, the Pott ries, the Derbysid c and Notting-
mstrire coal-fields, &c., and thur becoming the channel through
which tits great str. am a traffic r tinning north and south wi 1 tioW—
Lincoln will b in de a g eat and central depot for manufacturing
and agricultural produce, and a station of tit: first importance. That
no e of the existing modes of c, mmunieation will be closed ; where-
as, should th t London and York lint be constructed, tin • traffic nor tit
and son h would be carried alo g a the several miles west of the'
city of Lincoln, nts railway ace mmodation wou d be confined to an
inconvenient and circuitous branch lino, alms which little traffic
would flow, and the periods of transit would be few and restricted, at
the same time that a monop dy of the most grievous and hurtful na-
ture would he perpetuated.
That for these reasons It is of the highest importance that all per-
sons interested in the prosper. ty of the town should use every exer-
tion to support the decision of the Board of Trade, and to secure to
themselves tae incalculable advantages which will be derived ftom the
formation of the railways above-mentioned.
On the motion of Mr. W. FISHER; seconded by Mr. T. NEWTON—
That copies of these resolutions be forwarded to the Members of
Parliament for the city and co arty of Lincoln, and the boroughs of
Stamford, Grantham, Boston and Grimsby, with a request that they
will support the above railways; and that petitions in accordance
with these resolutions be prepared forthwith, to be presented to both
Houses of Parliament, in support of the saute.
On the motion of Mr. T. J. N. Buounvi ; seconded by Mr. OLDFIELD—
That this meeting has heard with the utmost indignation that par-
ties connected with the London and York line arc hiring hordes of
labouring men at 2s. each, to attend at the County. meeting in the
Castle-yard, on Friday next, to hold up their hands in favour of the
London and York line. That this course of action Moue shows that
the supporters of the London and York Railway are conscious of
their weakness, and attic unpopularity of the line which they advo-
cate ; and that C. Seely, Esq., be respectfully requested to attend the
County meeting en behalf of this assemblage, to expose to the gentry
of the county the means taken to bring together the bands of labour-
ers selected to hold up their hands ; also to advocate the interests of
the City at the meeting in question.
On the motion of Mr. FRESHNET ; seconded by Mr. THORNTON—
That the following gentlemen be appointed a Public Railway Com-
mittee, to watch over the interests of lids city, with reference to
railway matters, end to call public meetings of the citizens on the
subject, if they should think circumstances render such a course
necessary, and that the following gentlemen do constitute such Com-

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 441 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 thwe by the ferries of Kessock and Fort
George, centre upon it. Besides the ports of Inverness, Nairn,
Dm:thorn, 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 Hue
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 &citifies 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.
Tho inquiries into the traffic, which have been carefully made, show
the following results:—

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, necesaary
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 daffy 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 1,000,000/., and on the im-
provement of which 200,000/. are now in the co,rse 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 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
si:ortest 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 20/. 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.

The Board of Trade has reported in favour of the line from Aber-
deen to the Borth. 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 Ims to attain and that the impor.
tance of it is increased by the consideration that a cheap and easy
line, Vaversing a district of considerable population and losal traffic,
is stated to have been surveyed from Aberdeen to Inverness.
communi Should
this he tile case, it seems not improbable that railway
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 Kinnethmont, and the towns of Huntly, Keith,
Elgin, Forres, and Nairn, on to Inverness, where a very suitable
station CAR be obtained, and where a convenient cornmunication can
also be formed with the Caledonian Canal. It will thus be seen that
the line passes through the rich and flourishing counties of Aberdeen,
Banff, 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 fortn three branch lines in connexion with,
and at the same time as the trunk
I. The first to Banff and Portsoy, leaving the main line at
Strathisda.
2. The second to Fochabers, leaving the trunk line near the point
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 additio to Sutherland, opulation of the four northern
COunties of Ross, Cromarty, 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 made great progress with the Parliamentary surveys,
which will be ready to be placed before the Beard of Trade on an
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 computB3o3 ed to be—
