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 country 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 flrom 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 arc detained for several hours.
The line will also afford great additional facilities to the trade which
has hitherto bean 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,
yie1d5........

Tre probable revenue arising from the transport of car-
riages, gigs, horses, dogs, &c., taken at an average of

Cattle and sheep.... ........

Passenger traffic on dO..

4E31,145 0 0

The engineering works of pig over
from the unusually level nature
of the country, and its passing over a llght 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, necessary
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 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, a
weekon the Canal,
along which, even at present, two steamers ply twice , 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 ailway.
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 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,

to other medicines for a long period of years I she has recommended
them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person
to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of
extraordinary efficacy. I think that perhaps there is scarcely any
other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value

At a numerously attended Meeting of Shareholders in this Rail-
way, held this day at the London Coffee-house, Luigate-hill, JOSEPH
ANDREWS, Esq., in the Chair, the following resolutions were put
and canted, by large majorities.
Ist.—lt was moved by Mr. LAWRENCE, and seconded by Mr. MILLER,
That the report of the Committee of Inquiry now read be adopted
and confirmed by this Meeting.
2d.—Moved by Mr. ABRAHAM and seconded by Mr. BLOND,
That, as from the facts communicated in this Report it appears
that a very large proportion of the Provisional Committee have never
taken any part in the management of the affairs of this Company,
and have in many instances withdrawn from it or expressed their
disaprobio of the course pursued, an d as the adtual admitra-
tion phas in con sequence fallen into the hands of a small section, s who
do not represent the local interests, but are wholly under the guidance
of the London Solicitors, and seeing that the results have been so
disastrous in the occurrence of so many deplorable errors in the legal
and engineering departments, together with the expenditure of an
amount of capital much larger than was warranted by the circum-
stances of the case, Resolved, that this meeting cannot too strongly
express their opinion that the Committee of Management have acted
most imprudently and unjustifiably, and have deservedly forfeited
the confidence of the Shareholders.
3rd. Moved by Mr. lIENDEasoN add seconded by Mr.Courrr,M.P.
That further and strict inquiry be instituted into the conduct of
those Directors concerning whom so many reports have been circu-
lated, that theyllave exercised the powers confided to them for pur-
poses other than those for the general benefit of the Shareholders,
which reports the late advertisements as well as the reluctance of the
Committee to give any account of their proceedings to the Share-
holders have tended considerably to confirm.
4th. Moved by Mr. TUORNTON and seconded by Mr. WAGSTAFF,
That the Members of the Committee of Inquiry, together with the
Gentlemen hereafter named, be appointed a Committee to represent
the Shareholders, and be fully empowered to take whatever steps
may appear to them necessary for the following purposes, viz.—To
call upon the present Committee of Management to retire from the
direction of the Company. To take measures for the avoiding any
further waste of the Capital in a Parliamentary opposition which
must prove most expensive and of doubtful issue. And to follow
whatever course may be best calculated to protect the Shareholders
and advance the interests of the undertaking. That the Committee
shall request Mr. Gore and the Hon. Mr. Clive to join their number
and assist in carrying out the measures that may be adopted for the
benefit of Subscribers.

HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE
QUEEN
Having been pleased to send a Donation of 201, to the Fund now
raising in consequence of the late Calamity on the Scroby Sand ; and
the Subscriptions already received from several Noblemen, Public
Companies, Insurance Societies, Private Individuals, and others, to-
gether with the Inhabitants of Yarmouth and the neighbourhood,
amounting to a considerable sum ; the Committee confidently hope
that the benevolent objects contemplated in the following appeal, and
stated in the concluding paragraph, may be fully realised through the
increased assistance and sympathising liberality of the public at large.
AUTHORISED STATEMENT OF THE
CALAMITY AND
OF LOSS OF LIFE
YARMOUTH BEACH, ON THE SCROBY SAND,
F
On SUNDAY, JANUARY 2G, 1845. •
TO THE NOBILITY, GENTRY, AND CLERGY, AND TO THE
SHIPPING, MANUFACTURING, AND TRADING POPULA-
TION OF ENGLAND.
It is well known to those acquainted with the Eastern coast of
Norfolk. that, during heavy gales, the immediate vicinity of Yarmouth
Roads is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire coast of
England.
The number of wrecks which occur on the Barber, Cross, Corton,
and especially the Scroby Sands, has long ago induced a hardy, brave,
and intrepid race of men to devote their entire lives to the saving of
property and life along the coast.
A number of boats called yawls, measuring from 50 to 80 feet long,
and from 30 to 50 tons burden, have, at an expense of from 3001. to
4001. each, been built by the joint contributions of the Beachmen,
who have f rmed themselves into companies for that purpose. With
these they often leave the shore at the moat imminent risk of their
lives, not only when the chance of saving property holds out to them
the hope of a large reward in the shape of salvage, but with no less
earnestness and intrepidity when the only satisfaction they have in
prospect is rescuing from a watery grave sQme of their fellow-
creatures.
On no occasion Is it remembered that this noble and disinterested
daring was more magnanimously displayed than on Sunday, the 26th
of January, 1845, on which day, during a veryheavy gale from N. W.
and by W. no less than five brigs were in distress, four upon the Scroby
Sand and one upon the Barber. In no one of these cases was there,
at the time of their condition being discovered, the slightest probabi-
lity of saving anything like property. Nothing, therefore, but the
warm promptings of humanity could offer any inducement to the
Beachmen to man their boats : yet they hesitated not a single mo-
ment, but at once launched their gallant barks and set forward to the
rescue. Happily their efforts, in four instances, were successful in
saving all the crews.
The Caister Beachmen, with their yawl, Storm, succeeded in saving
the crew of the Elizabeth, of Scarborough, nine in number.
The Holkham Company, in their Yawl, the Red Rover, 38 tons,
Went off to the brig Jane, of Whitby, from which, although the yawl
sustained considerable damage, they succeeded in rescuing the crew,
nine in number.
The Young Company, with their yawl, the Sailor's Friend, of 48
tons, succeeded, at very considerable risk, in taking off the crew of
the brig Choice, of Newcastle, also nine in number.
The Star Company, in their yawl, Phoenix, went off to the Ann, of
Sunderland, from which, after splitting the stein and carrying away
the mast of the yawl, they rescued and safely landed the crew of
nine men.
Having thus far been enabled to record the meritorious and suc-
cessful conduct of these gallant men, who, in addition to the immi-
nent risk of their lives, have suffered considerably in the injury done
to their property—for which no remuneration can be anticipated but
from the benevolence of a British public, it remains to relate the me-
lancholy catastrophe which forms the climax to this statement.
The Beachmen of the " Phoenix" having safely landed the crew of
the " Ann," and being themselves much exhausted, a fresh crew of
the same Company re-manned the yawl, and immediately proceeded
to another vessel lying in distress on the Scroby ; the wind was then
blowing a hurricane. On nearing the vessel, they found the sea
running over her, and made an unsnccessful attempt to reach her ;
failing to do so, they let go their anchor and veered down ; unfortu-
nately the force of the sea drove the yawl upon the brig and dashed
her to pieces ; when the Beachmen—with the exception of one man
(named Abraham Wetherell), who sank with the yawl—got on board
the brig, which was now drifting, and every sea breaking with tre-
mendous violence over her bull.
The accident being witnessed from the shore several men belonging
to the different Companies manned the life-boat and flew to their as-
sistance. The danger of all was extreme, and those on shore trembled
alike for the poor fellows on the brig and those in the life-boat. Hap-
pily she reached the brig though too late for many, some of whom
were carried overboard by the falling of the brig's masts, and some
drowned on the wreck. Six only of the " Phoenix's crew were savedi;
and of the brig's crew, who were in a state of exhaustion when the
" Phcenix" first reached ber, the whole perished.
Thus in the noble attempt to save the lives of their fellow-men,
seven of our gallant beachmen found a watery grave, leaving behind
them four widows and fourteen children (ten of whom are under
twelve years of age) totally unprovided for, as well as the aged
mothers of the three single men. Their nazies were Abraham
Wetherell (leaving a widow and nine children), James Shreeve
(widow and three children), Ganham (alias James) Rifling (widow
and two children), James Boulton (widow), William Warner, George
Points, and James George, single men, but upon whom their widowed
mothers, or aged parents, depended for subsistence.
To provide a fund to relieve the necessities of the bereaved—to re-
ward the noble fellows who so gallantly risked their lives for others—
to assist in replacing the serious loss suffered by the boatmen—and
t form a nucleus for a permanent fluid for the relief of sufferers
under similar calamities in future—is the object of the present
appeal.
Subscriptions will be received at the banks of Messrs. Barclay and
Co., and Sir R. C. Glynn and Co., London ; and at any of the banking
houses in Norfolk and Suffolk.

Families wishing to try any of the above are recommended to
order them through their own tradesmen, taking notice, however,
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 5/. 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
obtain them, they will, on receiving a 1/. Post-effice 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 bex 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

The present number is one of the richest that has
appeared. Passing over the powerful romance, " Re-
velations of London," by the Editor, we come to an
article, entitled " Horace for the Million," which
might have passed upon us for an effusion of our
latncrited friend Maginn, if there were not elsewhere
in the volume too much to remind us, that that fund
of wit and learning has been exhausted. The following
travestie of the grand ode " Integer vi:a," is worthy
of Maginn, except for its profane familiarity with the
almost divine lyric. That the reader may be as much
disposed to pull the wag's ears as we are, let us give
his doggrel as it is :
The man whose heart and purse are light,
Whom adverse fortune can't affright,
Needs no police to watch at night -
His goods and chattels.
Whether he rambles through St. Giles',
Or wanders by the two• Turnstiles,
His time away he calmly wiles,
And fears no battles.
For instance, 'twas but t'otber day,
When, wavering 'twixt the grave and gay,
Thinking of Grisi and the play,
I met a beggar.
Sturdy he was, as Russian bear,
A face that would a judge outswear,
And such a varmint head of hair,
And bullying swagger.
I did but raise my weather eye,
Without the echo of a cry—
My wig ! to see the fellow fly,
In Irish fashion.*
You would have laughed, for ten police—
Men, warranted to keep the peace,
Could not have won me much release,
With all their dash on.
Then what care I for street or alley,
Through all the lanes I fearless sally,
And scatheless still, without a pal, 1
Securely tottle.
IR Piccadilly, or the Park,
I take my morn or ev'ning lark ;
And when I'm tired, or it grows dark,
I tap my bottle.

The " Nelson Dispatches" is a clear and interesting
review of the hero's life and thoughts. It i ; worthy
c.f the subject. But the most novel, and, therefore, to
us, the most interesting, paper in the number is Mr.
F. Ainsworth's sketch of Zenobia's retreat on the
Euphrates. The volume concludes with some grace-
ful verses to the memory of " Laman Blanchard,"
which testify that fiction is not even a necessary ele-
ment even in poetic eulogy. In page 354 will be
found a real curiosity of literature—a Greek fable by
Kenealy—Englished, enriched, and illustrated by
Maginn. These are the verses :
On a couch of sweet roses reclining,
Fair Venus in slumber was laid,
And a robe, of the brightest star-shining,
Was thrown, her fair form to o'ershade ;
From her neck, as a swan's whitely glowing,
To her knee did the mantle extend ;
Laugh'd the zephyrs, as over her blowing,
They felt the sweet incense ascend.
Pan, his haunt in the woods ever keeping,
Was wandering, perchance, thgh thefflove,
And as Venus alone there lay sling,
Stepp'd soft to the goddess of love,
And he kiss'd her sweet lips, soft and taking ;
But what more he'd have ventured to try,
We can't tell ; for sweet Venus awaking
Put all notions of love-making by.

BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.
The " Literary Retrospect of the Departed Great"
is by far the best article in this number. It is written
by one who evidently was well acquainted with the
best painters and sculptors of the day, and though,
perhaps, a little overcharged and somewhat romantic,
gives a real picture of Wilkie, and Lawrence, and
Northcote • and possibly also does justice to Chantrey,
but certainly it does not tend to raise him in public
estimation. The article, however, chiefly relates to
Wilkie, and some of the anecdotes and particulars of
his life are so graphic and correct that they cannot
fail to be of use to some future biographer. The
, history of the " Blind Fiddler" is interesting : it is
told by the widowed mother of the artist, in her
Doric dialect, while she was residing with her son at
Kensington, and bears all the marks of truth. In
answer to the question whether Sir David had early
displayed much talent in drawing :

" ' Aweel,' said she, I mind that he was aye scraw
ing, and scratching, I did na ken what, and he had an
idle fashion o' making likenesses and caricatsores like of
all the folk as came. And there was an auldblind mon,
Willie, the fiddler, just an idle sort of a beggtit-raon, that
used to come wi' his noise, and set all the women ser-
vants a jigging wi' his scratching and scraping ; and
Davie was ae taking o' this puir bodie into the hoose,
and gieing him a drap o' toddy ; and I used to cry shame
on the lad for encouraging such lazy vagabonds about
the hoose. Weal,' pursued the old lady, but ye maun
ken he was an ill-favoured, daft sort of a creatur, that
puir blind bodie, weeleno' in his way, but not the sort
o' folk to be along wi' Davie ; yet the lad was always
a-saying to me, " Mither, gie's a bawbie for puir blind
Willie." This,' she added with a sigh, Sir, was when
we lived at the Manse.'
"‘ A-weel, Sir, they told me—it was mony years after
the puir blind body was gane hame, Sir—that Davie had
painted a grand pictur ; and he wrote me to ,go to Edin-
burgh to see it ; and I went, and sure eno there was
puir Old Willie, the very like o' him, his fiddle and a'.
I was wud wi' surprise : and there was Davie standing
a laughing at me, and saying, Mither, mony's the time
that ye ha heard that fiddle to the toon o the Camp-
bells are coming.'"
There is also a life of the Rev. Sydney Smith, with
a good portrait, taken some thirty years ago, detailing
the more remarkable incidents of his life, from the
time he wrote his first article for the Edinburgh
Review (the life of Parr), in the sixth story of a
house in Buccleuch-place, till he ended his career, as
Canon of St. Paul's. In the life of this admirable
writer and thorough reformer, it is curious to observe
how he changed his tone on church reform when the
cathedrals of which he was installed a defender were
attacked by Lord John Russell and the Bishop of
London. He still however admitted the necessity of
reform, but thought the department to which he be-
longed was the least liable to complaint, and that the
Bishops with their princely incomes and gorgeous
pageantry should have led the way by cutting down
their incomes and patronage to an amount befitting
the age of reform. He could not see why every suc-
cessor of Charles James should have a house in St.
James's•square, a palace at Fulham, and 10,0001.
a year, nor why the domestics of Archbishop Howley
should stand with swords and bag wigs round pig
and turkey and venison, to, defend, as it were, the
orthodox gastronome from the fierce Unitarian, the
fell Baptist, and all the famished children of dissent.
The other articles are much in the usual style, but
require no particular notice.

COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY.
This is an excellent Number of this popular pe
riodical It opens with a continuation of " Passages
in the Lives of Celebrated Statesmen of Europe."
The subject of the present paper is Baron Bulow,
with sketches of his colleagues in the great confe-
rences of 1831 and 1840. From these sketches we
extract the following account of Count Pozze di
Borgo :
" Count Pozzo di Borgo was a still more extraordinary
man. The deadly feuds of his native land drove him
from Corsica, imbued with all the wild, headlong feel-
ings characteristic of his race. For instance, long after
his leaving Corsica, he was so superstitious that the wife
of one of his most hospitable entertainers and intimate
friends, suspecting his foible, having urged him to come
and see a ghost in a back parlour, and having shown on
the balcony General Paoli, in the shape of her mad-cap
cousin, wrapped in a sheet and bedaubed with flour, he
swore she was a witch, and had a deadly aversion to her
and family until the last moment of his life. The trials
of thoso eventful times, his adventures in the many lands
he traversed in the search of fortune, smoothed the out-
ward ruggedness of his nature, and consecrated all the
fire of his character on diplomacy and ambition. his
hereditary feud against the Buonapartes, likewise, all

Lab •
oriously polite, still did the hot, fierce, jealous under-
current of his nature, as well as his native shrewdness
and experience in strategy, make him a dangerous col-
league to deal with in diplomacy."
It was out of mere hatred to Bonaparte Di Borgo
brought about the restoration of 1815. It is curious
to trace the restoration, the hundred days, IVaterloo,
the revolution of 1830, and all its consequences—
past, present, and to come—to a private feud between
two obscure families in the semi-barbarous island of
Corsica. Thus—
" Great events from trivial causes spring."
