Inveroaeoull, June 6. . A very successful movement is being made here for the relief of the distressed inhabitants of the {Scottish Highlands and Hebrides.

Many ; ot tbe hotels m the sid.e streets have only 10 o'clock licenses. A newspaper correspondence is going on hf re re building a steamer wba»f just (inside the. pilot station at the Bluff to accouimodate large ocean steamers. The»e is depth of water there, and it is probab'e that a concrete quay only cbiild be constructed. Against the scheme it ib urged that it is exposed to south-eaet winds: and the ocean swell, but these are not common nor .strong; as a rule ; such a whart would enable steamers passing through the "StJ.aits^to call 5 m without loss of half-an-hour. The presenc railway could 'ba 'easify constructed to the point. The euggestinn is princi[>ally in'ade with the view of the frozen meat trade, as' it is not likely that these large steamers could come to thp prpspnt wharf.
