This Company is established to connect the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf by a railway from the ancient poi tof Sellucia by Antioch and Aleppo, to Ja'berCastle on the Eu phrates, of eighty miles in length. and afterwards from thence by other towns to Bagdad, and on to the head of the Persian Gulf. Thence by steamers communication will be established with all parts of ludia. From ai rangements now in progress. it is intended to carry the electric wire along the Euphrates Valley, and connect the Telegraphic system of Europe with that of India. The country through which it is proposed to carry the railway was, by command of his Majesty William IV., examined and surveyed, with the view to the introduction of improved means of transit, by that distinguished officer Major General Chesney, R.A. and F.R S., who reports that there are no serious difficul. ties to contend with; and subsequent scientific investigations under Captain Lynch, C. 8., and Commander Campbell, both of the Indian Navy, have confirmed the accuracy of General Ches ney's opinion. The effect of the proposed contract to be entered into between the Sublime Porte and this Company will be, that the Ottoman Government guarantee a minimum dividend on the capital le vired at e l.er cent. per annum for 99 years. Tr.e Ottoman Government grant a lease of the land necessary for the Railway and works for 99 years, free of charge. On the opening of the Line, all net profits exceeding the rate of dividend guaranteed are to go to the Ottoman Government in liquidation of the dividends they hive advanced. When this a , :vance is repaid the entire surplus goes to the Shareholders. At the expiration of 99 years, the land with the Railway and works pertaining thereto, will become the property of the Otto. man Government, who will at the same Guie purt.hase the rod ling stock at a valuation to be settled by arbitration. The Ottoman Government guarantee the Company against all competition from works of &similar character, and grant the right of land, woods, !Meats, and quarries, the property of the State, at a certain distance at each side of the line. It is only proposed at present to execute the first section, about 80 miles of railroa i, from the ancient port of Seleucia on the Mediterranean, to Ja'ber Castle cn the Euphrates; below which point there is water communication by the Euphrates and Tigris to the Persian Gulf. or. John Laird, of Birkenhead, has undertaken to supply the Sublime Porte with steamers to I.ll:igate the Euphrates, capable of carrying a large amount of passengers and merchandise, at a good rate of speed. A steam route being thus established between the Mediterra nean Sea and the Persian Gulf, the shortest and most rapid means of communication between the capitals and emporia of the West and East would be at once open for political and coin. mei Mal purposes. The future sections of the line will be gra dually carried down the valley of the Euphrates, from the tight bark oppos to Ja'ber Castle to Pliumsaii, the ancient Thapas cus. Crossing into Mesopotamia at this suitable place, the railway will be carried along the valley by Anah and Hit to the environs of Bagdad, and thence by Babylon and fi Ilah to the confluence of the Euphrates and Tigris at Kurnah, where there is sufficient depth of water for the largest steamers, with a branch line by Schuster to the Persian Gulf; or Bussorah, 97 miles nearer the head of the Persian Culf than Kumla], where an exten:ive trade is already established, and where there is ample accommodation for equate-rigged ships of large tonnage. The traffic by the existing route of the Red Sea must always be confined to large and powerful steam vessels, being impeded by rocky islands. onral reefs, and the nature of the prevailing winds, whereas in the Persian Gulf there are no physical ob structions whatever to its free navigation by vessels of all classes. The importance of the Euphrates as a second and more expe ditious route to our Indian possessiona is daily forcing itself upon the public mind, and as the whole of Northern India and Cemral Asia, from the banks of the Oxus to the gates of Delhi, will shortly have an outlet to the sea by the Scinde Railway from ilydrabad to Kurrachee, relieving commerce from the dangers and delays of tie Delta of the Indus, such a route would seem to become imperative. The counti les to be traversed by the railway are rich in mine rals, but have as yet been only partially explored with a view to their development. This enterprise possesses, in the opinion of those personally acquainted with the country and its resources, all the tlem,nts of a highly remunerative character. lat.—From the country presenting great facilities for the con• struction of a tails ay, being a succession of extensive plains traversed by low hill , . between Antioch and Aleppo, and from Aleppo to Ja'ber Castle, a distance of $9 wiles. a perfect level. 2nfi.—From the neighbouring mines of Mat ash having supplied iron of excellent quality to the Euphrates expedition. From an inexhaustible supply of timbal of the finest quality for bui!ding purposes, sleepsire, &c., being obtainable from the forests near the old port (Seleucla) wad Scandemn, and from there being alto 549 large quarries of stone on different parts of the line, with an abundant supply of bitumen and timber for fuel. 3rd.—From the first section of the line being a moderate length, and complete in itself, having a port on the ?deuiterra. mean at one end, and a terminus on the Euphrates at the other. 4th.—From the line from seteucia to Ja'ber Castle, forming of necessity the most important portion of any system of improved transit, which shall follow the course of the valleys of the Eu. phrates and Tigris. flth.—From the country below Ja'ber Castle to the head of the Persian Gulf affording every facility for the extension of the 6th —From the clearly proved statistical returns of the former trade and commerce of the country. its vast natural resources and manufactures, and the extensive transit trade which was formerly carried on between China, India, Persia, Armenia, and Arabia, with Europe, and especially with Great Britain, which has been greatly diminished by political causes, but which would speedily be revived ; and from the convivion that the commerce tat Great Britain with Central Asia, Chinsokc., instead of seek ing, as at present, a costly and circuitous route by the Volga and the Caspian, would return to its natural, its more direct, and its most ancient channel. From the obvious political and commercial importance of this the most direct route to our Indian possessions, the Directors have reason to believe that they will receive from her Majesty's Government std the lionoureble East India Company that countenance and co operation, which is evbential to the carrying out, with success, a means or communication which woad reduce the time occupied in the journey by nearly one. half between this country• and its empire in the East. The deposit to be paid ou allotment of shares will be 2s. per share, being after the rate of 10s. per cent., the amount pre scribed by the Act 7 and d Vic., cap. 110. No call will be made until the concession has been secured by the finnan of the Sultan, at.d the other airaugementa contem plated by the directors completed. FORM UP APPLICATION ?on SNARLS.
