The proposed line (which forms part of the scheme of the South
Midland Railway) and is a continuation of the Northampton and
Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham Railway, will
connect by the shortest route, the following important towns, viz.:—
Boston, Lynn, Yarmouth, Norwich, Ely, Cambridge, Huntingdon,
Peterborough, Bedford, and Northampton, with Banbury, Evesham,
Worcester, &c. ; and with Cheltennam, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter,
Plymouth, Weymouth, &c. ; with Hereford, Swansea, Milford Haven,
Fishguard, and the whole of the South of Ireland; and with Oxford,
Salisbury, Southampton, and Portsmouth ; and will also connect Co-
ventry, Warwick, and Stratford-on-Avon, with the whole of the be-
fore-mentioned places, thereby in effect accommodating a population
of several millions.

The line presents no engineering difficulties. The landholders
generally are considered favourable to the project, and the promet,ers
have every reason to calculate upon a most highly remunerative rc
turn on the outlay.

One-third of the shares will be reserved for the shareholders In the
South Midland Railway Company, and a preference will be given in
allotting the residue to parties locally interested.
For further particulars the public is referred to the prospectuses,
which may be obtained of the solicitors or local agents, and Messrs.

son, Birmingham; William Mason, Bradford; Messrs. Tate and

NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM,
London, Colonade Hotel, Charles-street, St. James's-square,
sth June, 1845.

At a Meeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed
,)y the County of Inverness, for promoting the erection at Inverness
of a Lunatic Asylum, for Pauper and other Lunatics of the Northern
Counties of Scotland ;
_

We, the undersigned, William H. Colquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff-
Substitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, hanker in In-
verness, were appointed a Deputation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon-
don, in aid of the proposed Asylum.

And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg
leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish-
ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of
your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression,
we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two,
to learn your determination ; hit should we be so unfortunate as not
to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be
kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on
or before 12th instant.

The priniary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda-
tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances,
in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of
surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, ,md have a population of
about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few eel's attached
to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all
this wide district for the secure conSnement or medical treatment of
the Insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up-
wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden-
some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam-
ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable
on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the
community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in-
jury, and the terror of the country.
To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect
and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most
central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for
other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun-
ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made
for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients.
The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary
contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel-
fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of
human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will
be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fund for
the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable
progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro-
curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that
with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds
will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re-
move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen.
The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de-
termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub-
mittedendation.
