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, Forms, and Elgin, the Conuffittee con-
sider that there is no situation in Scotland which affords a more cer-
tain prospect of profitable investment.
The co: ntry 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 Forces. 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 than 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-
aenger traffic, by posting and private conveyances, there are eight
daily coaches (four each way). The traffic must be greatly increased
when amore rapiffirimmunication is opened up between the termini
and the intermediate towns and villages.
Another and large additional traffic will be brought upon the line
hz the London, Leith; and Aberdeen steamers, which call at Lossie-
month 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 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
EL.
and Caithness,", be broeght along the line.
The inquiri the traffic, which have been carefully- made, show

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
simyle character. There are no tunnels or viaducts, and the country
abdunds 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 he 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 co rse of being ex-
pended by Government. These improvements, which will he com-
pleted betbre 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 earners 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 ether hand, towards the east, the line will be continued by
tho contemplated railway from Elgin to Aber-Icor—thus connecting
all the towns and manufacturing districts tke west of England and
Scotland, through the Caledonian Canal, with the rich agricultural
country tn the east of Elgin, and onwards to the city of Aberdeen,
and other towns on the east coast of Scotland.
Besides constituting an hnportant link in the direct east and west
coinmunication of tins 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
stortest possible line between England and the southern counties of
Scotland and the north ; and, from its position in this respect, the
Inverness and Elvin Rail Way 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.
Application for shares to be made, in the form annexed, to Messrs.
G. and P. Anderson, solicitors, and Mr. Charles Stewart, solicitor,
Inverness, the interim joint secretaries ; to Messrs. Martin and Ross,
