PROSPECTUS. his Railway, about 70 miles in length, will connect Smyrna, the mo3t important Seaport in the Levant, with Ouzel Hisser or Ai.lin, the great entrepAt of the internal tramie of A , :ia Minor. It will bring the two places within three hours of each other, in4tead of four days as at precept. Smyrna contains a population of BONO—possesses one of the titiest harbours in the World, and takes the highest rank among the trilling ports of time Mediterranean. The aggregate value of her imports end exports in pm, taken from ihe molt reliable sources of information, unmounted to 5,000,001. sterling, and the tonnage inwards and outwards to 869,380 tons. The extraordinary fertility and resources of Asia Minor main tam Smyrna in her position as a Trading Emporium, notwith standing all the disadvantages she has had to contend with from the total absence of even the most ordinary roads, and which has from time immemorial rendered imperative the exclusive Use of camels and mules. When the goods are packed at Aidin, the deterioration now caused, particularly in delicate pro.iucts, by the frequent lading mid nulading consequent upon the nightly rest of the camels, will be avoided. The loss by damage arising from the death of animals and from numerous other casualties, which frequently occur during the conveyance from Aidin to the p o rt of shipment, Smyrna, will all be obviated by the proposed Railway. The physical features of the neighbourhood of Smyrna, which is surrounded by mountains, force the traffic along two principal routes—one to the North, skirting the seacoast, and leading, by a circuitous path. to Magnesia and Cassaba, and from thence to the Northern and North•!asteru parts of Asia Minor—the second to the Southeast, opening upon the celebrated province of Aidiu. The varied elevations of this part of the country, the genial temperature of the climate, and the alluvial nature of the soil enable it to grow produce of all kinds from the rarest to the coarsest qualities. Tobacco, the Fig, the Viue, the Olive, the Poppy, the Cotton plant, and Mulberry tree are indigenous products, whilst wheat, Maize, Barley, Beans, Flax, Hemp and a variety of pulse and ole ag in ous see d s are ra i se d in -large quantities. Valonia, iellow.beiTies, Wool, Goat'sshalr, Dye stuffs, Drugs, Skins, Honey, Wax, ,tc.. likewise alxnunl. Ouzel Millar, wore commonly called Aidin, is a thriving city, having about tki,ooo inliabitauts, and is the point of concourse for persons from all parts of the interior, who resort to that market for the disposal of produce in small parcels to the resi• dent dealers trading with Smyrna, and for the purchase of foreign goods. According to a low average of the various estitnates made by a special Commi.aioner sent out tor the purpose, whose Report bas been confirmed by all the principal resident Merchants of Smyrna, the goods traffic from Aidin to Smyrna employs 19,000 Cam-ds and Stet Mules, at the cost of over 400.000. per annum. Independent of the !0,000 Camels which are constantly employed to carry• the traffic between Smyrna and Aidin, there are at least 2&,0011 employed on various routes in entice) ing pro duce from the interior to the sea. Wneu this Railway is com pleted to Alibi', the traffic conveyed by at least 10,00 u of these 20,000 Camels will come to the line, thus at once considerably iucreasiug the existing amount of traffic between the two places. It is evident, front the above data, that the present goods traffic will give a dividend of 12 per cent per annum, after de ducting one-half of the receipts for winking exnenses, and the division of profits with Government over 7 per cent. With regard to passenger trattle. tio accurate estimate can he at present formed. looking, however, to the result of the opening of the Railways in Egypt and India, and to the absence of any passport 'system, a large revenue is certain to be derived from this source, The Turkish Government gnftrantees n minimum dividend of six per vent. per .inntitu on the expenditure, not exeeeding 1,100,0001.. an l Com riteiors of e iii iii env* and tesponsih:lity have offered to undertake the construction of the Itailw.iy with ample RoLlin.t stock within this amount; hne the present extraordi it try traffic along the route it will traverse, unequalled by that en any hallway ever offered to the public, is the best guarantee of its aileeess. The Turkish Government, hr the terms of the Concession. reserve 15,100 shares, or an ~Ouni , for local subscription. The applications for these ahares,headed by his Imperial :Majesty the titiltan, the Grand Vizi, r, and several influential capitalists of Constantinople. have considerably exceeded this amount. The Concession %inch has been granted and coArined by an Imperial Finnan accords the most valuable privileges. The fol lowing is an outline of the principal clauses:- 1. It is perpetual, subject to the right of purchase by the Otmman Government ui-on agreed and equitable terms at the rat of GO , 75, 95, and every subsequent 20 years. A guarantee of a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum as there mentioned for 10 years. The line to be opened in sections, and the guarantee to come into operation as each section is opened. lite profits over 7 per cent. to be divided with Go vernment. 3. All Government land and materials to be talon and made use of by the Company gratuitously. 4. All materials for constructing, working, and renewing the Railway to be imported duty free. a. Tae power of working all coal mines within 30 miles of any part o' the line, on payment of a fixed royalty. C. The privilege of electing warehouses with aCuttom itouse attache I on the Company's premises at Smyrna. 7. lire engagement of Government not to grant a Concession to any onopeting hue. THE PRESS. A. The unrestricted power of management. The Directors, having • due regard to the present unfavour able time for launching a new undertaking, have deferred, and would rtill defer, bringing forward the enterprise were it cot that the conditions of the Imperial Firman limit the date at which operations must be commenced. They, have, however, determined that the First Section of the Line only shall receive their immediate attention, so as to obviate the necessity of tusking heavy calls during the existing stringency of the Money Market. The Concessionaires, who have deposited at their own risk the Caution Money, amounting to 2 4,00i11., and who have also defrayed all the expenses since the first negotiations were opened with the Porte, including the cost of detailed plans, sections and surveys. engineering, travelling, and other expenses, have agreed to accept fur their interest in the Concea sion, and for all preliminary expenses, al per Cent. upon the Capital. which they will take in Shares or otherwise, as may be deemed most advisable for the interests of the Company; and they have also, to show their confidence in the undertaking. subscribed to the Capital of the Company to the extent of 90,0001. in addition. The first and most important section of 411 miles from Smyrna, which it is calculated will yield a most satisfactory ieturu upon the outlay, may be opened in time to bring down the produce of the harvest of :Abe. Carefully-prepared plans, sections, and estimates of the cost of the line show that the capital on which the gnat antee ;is given is sufficient for its entire construction, the supply of roiling stock, and the erection of stations, warehouses, and waterside premises. Interest at the rate of six per cent per annum will be allowed on payments either for or in anticipation of calls during the construction of the line. Provision for this item of expendi ture has been made iu estimating the required capital at 1,100,000/., upon which the guarantee of the Turkish Govern ment has been se. red. _ _ Applications for Shares, with the Banker's receipt for tho deposit, to be addresssd to Messrs.
