This Railway, about 70 miles in length, will connect Smyrna, the most important seaport in the Levant, with Guzel Hissar or Aidin, the great entrepot of the internal trade of Asia Minor. It will bring tho two places within three hours of each other, instead of four days as at present. Smyrna contains a population of 100,000, possesses one of the finest harbours in the world, and takes the highest rank among the trading ports of the Mediterranean. The aggregate value of her imports and exports in 1856, taken from the most reliable sources of information, amounted to 5,000,0001. sterling, and the tonnage inwards and out wards to 869,380 tons; The extraordinary fertility and resources of Asia Minor maintain Smyrna in her position as a trading emporium, not withstanding 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 products, by the frequent lading and unlading consequent upon the nightly rest of the camels, will be avoided. The loss of damage arising from the death of animals and from numerous other casualties, which frequently . occur during the conveyance from Aidin to the port of ship ment, 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 sea coast, and leading, by a circuitous path, to Magnesia and Cassaba, and from nee to the northern and north eastern parts of Asia Minor—the second to the south-east, opening upon the celebrated province of Aidin. 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 vine, the olive, the poppy, the cotton plant and mulbery tree are indigenous products, whilst wheat, maize, barley, beans, flax, hemp, and a variety of pulse and oleagin ous "seeds are raised in large quantities, lfalonia, berries, wool, goat's hair, dyestuffs, drugs, skins, honey, wax, &c., likewise abound. Guzel Hissor, more commonly called Aidin, is a thriving city, having about 60,000 inhabitants, and is the point of concourse for persons from all parts of the interior, who re sort to that market for the disposal of produce in small par cels to the resident dealers trading with Smyrna, and for the purchase of foreign goods. According to a low average of the various estimates made by a Special Commissioner sent out for the purpose, whose report has been confirmed by all the principal resident mer chants of Smyrna, the goods traffic from Aidin to Smyrna employs 10,000 camels and 500 mules, at the cost of over 400,0001. per annum. Independent of the 10,000 camels which are constautly employed to carry the traffic between Smyrna and Aidin, there are at least 20,000 employed on va rious routes in conveying produce from the interior to the sea. When thisßailway is completed to Aidin the traffic convoyed by at least 10,000 of these 20,000 camels will cern* to the line, thus at once considerably increasing the existing amount of traffic between the two places. It is evident, from the above data, that the present goods traffic will give a di 4iciend of 12 per cent. per annum, after deducting one-half of the receipts for working expenses, and the division of profits with Government over 7 per cent. With regard to passenger traffic, no accurate estimate can be at present formed. Looking, however, to the result if the opening of the Railways in Egypt and India, and to the ab sence of any passport system, a large revenue is certain to be derived from this source. The Turkish Government guarantees a minimum dividend of 6 per cent, per annum on the expenditure not exceeding 1,200,0001., and contractors of eminence and responsibility have offered to undertake the construction et the Railway with ample rolling stock within this amount ; but the pre sent extraordinary traffic along the route it will traverse, un equalled by that of any railway ever offered to the public, is the best guarantee of its success. The Turkish Government, by the terms of the concession, reserve 15,000 shares, or 300,0101., for local subscription. The applications for these shares, headed by his Imperial Ma jesty the Sultan, the Grand Vizier, and several influential capitalists of Constantinople, have considerably exceeded this amount. The concession, which has been granted and confirmed by an Imperial firman, accords the most valuable privileges. The following is an outline of the principal clauses ;- 1. It is perpetual, subject to the right of purchase by the Ottoman Government upon agreed and equitable terms at the end of 50, 75, 95, and every subsequent 20 years. 2. A guarantee of dividend of% per cent. per annum as above mentioned for 50 years. The line to be opened in sec tions, and the guarantee to come into operation as each sec tion is opened. The profits ever 7 per cent, to be divided with Government. 2. All Government land and materials to be taken and made use of by the Company gratuitously. 4. All the materials for constructing, working, and renew ing the Railway to be imported duty free. 5. The power of working all coal mines within 30 miles of any part of the line, on payment of a fixed royalty. 6. The privilege of erecting warehouses with a Custom house attached on the Company's premiseS at Smyrna. 7. The engagement of Government not to grant a conces sion to any competing line. 8. The unrestricted power of management. The Directors having a due regard the present unfavour able time for launching a new undertaking, have deferred, and would still defer, bringing forward the enterprise were it not that the conditions of the Imperial firman limit the date at which operations must be commenced. They have, how ever, determined that the first section of the line only shall receive their immediate attention,'so as to obviate the neces sity of making heavy calls during the existing stringency of the money mark,et. The Concessionaries who have deposited at their own risk the caution money, amounting to 24,0001., 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 ex penses, have agree to accept for their interest in the conces sion, and for all preliminary expenses, 3i 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 eapital of the Company to the extent of 90,0001. in addition. The first and moss important section of 46 miles from Smyrna, which it is calculated will yield a most satisfactory return upon the outlay, may be opened in time to bring down the produce of the harvest of 1858. Carefully prepared plans, sections, and estimates of the cost of the line, show that the capital on which the guarantee is given is sufficient for its entire construction, the supply of rolling stock, and the erection of stations, warehouses, and water-side premises. Interest at the rate of 6 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 expenditure has been made in estimating the required capital at 1,200,0001. upon which the guarantee of the Turkish Government has been secured.

Mullen and Co., 3, Lombard-street; or to the Secretary of the Company, 38, Cannon-street, City, where forms can be obtained. CURIOUS TENANT OF AN AUSTRALIAN BALE OF WOOL. —A singular discovery, exhibiting the usefulness of the Customs' examination of imported goods, took place the other day. In a bale of wool from Australia a large block of stone, weighing about 641 b., was found in its centre. The grower bad perhaps thus cheated the buyer in Australia, who had unconsciously cheated the buyer in England of_the. like weight of wool, and the ship owner had unconsciously overrated the freight by a similar amount of weight. The question arises, would it not be a safeguard to the British merchant were colonial wool examined under Customs' regulation previous to the pressure and shipment of the wool ? By the discovery of the Customs' officials the merchant in England will save the duty on the weight of the stone, and be enabled to recover the price of the wool from his Australian agent. Civil &Tice Ocafttc, _ Naval and Military intelligence. The depot of the 82d (Prince of Wales's Volunteers) Regi ment, consisting of 1 captain, 2 lieutenants, and 105 non conimissioned• officers and men, will proCeed this day from Portsmouth to. Chatham,' for the purpose of being attached to the Provisional Battalion on the embarcation of their head quarters for China. An order has been received at Chatham for the following officers to hold themselves iu readiness to embark :with the detachments proceeding to India, for the purpose of joining their head-quarters :—Captain Winniett, 24th Regiment ; Capt. Pattison and Ensign Dillon, 35th Regiment. A circular order has been issued to the home ports by the Lords of the Admiralty, to the effect that all petty, officers, seamen, and boys now serving in ships at the home ports, or in ships arriving in England, are to be allowed to be dis charged if they wish it, and no payment is to be required from the continuous service men and boys so discharged. When ships are paid off petty officers and A.B.'s only are to be permitted to put their names down to return to a flagship for re-entry; and all non-continuous service ordinaryseamen and boys are to be discharged from the service. No more ordinary seamen are to be permitted to volunteerfor continuous service. All continuous service men of bad character, or who are weak and undersized, and all boys not likely to make good seamen, are to be discharged. These regulations are to be carried into immediate effect, and it is to be made generally knoWn that such discharges are permitted in the case of con tinuous service men and boys of good character, and enforced in the other eases alluded to, in consequence of there being a very large excess of men and boys above the number (48,000) voted by Parliament for, the year 1857-8. The sentence of the court-martial on Captain U. Eyres, C. 8., and Mr. Cavell, master, of the Exmouth, 91, screw, getting that ship on shore off the Lizard on the 12th inst. is, that the captain placed too much confidence in the pilotage of the master, and did not use the deep sea lead, and sen tencedehim to be admonished. The mastd.: they found had trusted too much to his judgment of the landin hazy weather and had shaped his 'course too confidently, without making use of the deep sealead ; but in consideration of his long services and previous high character, they only sentenced him to be reprimanded, and admonished to bo more careful for the future. The Emerald, 51 guns, new screw steam-frigate, has been put out of the fitting basin at Sheerness, and is placed in the steam squadron of reserve, under Capt. Edward P. Halstead, in command of the Ediuburgh. The Brune paddle-wheel, Lieut.-Commander Swinburne, has been put out of the basin at Sheerness. It has been as. certained on trial that steam cannot be generated in her boilers to dpressure beyond 141 b. to the square inch, instead of 201 b., as calculated. The result is a considerable reduc tion in her speed. The 3-gun paddlewheel steamvessel, Lieutenant-Commander John B. Field, has returned from Plymouth. Some experi ments were made by Commander Field and witnessed by Commander Veitch, R,N., with Clifford's plan for lowering boats when under full steam power. When the Locust was of the Bill of Portland, during a fine breeze from the north west, from the time of the commander calling out, " A man overboard ; let go the life-buoy ; man the boat," till the boat was lowered, full manned and oars out, and clear of the ship, —only 25 seconds elapsed. The experiment was repeated with a like result on entering Hameaze, when the Locust was at full speed, for the purpose of the boat making a line fast to the buoy. In both cases the time was noted and tested by Commander Veitch, with Commander Field, of the Locust. The United States' frigate Niagara is to leave Gravesend this morning for Liverpool to ship her portion of the Trans atlantic electric cable, consisting of 1,500 tons, and will sail from Liverpool about the time the Agamemnon leaves the river, having shipped an equal amount off East Greenwich. They will then proceed to mid ocean, when they will com mence paying out the electric cable, the Niagara steaming towards the coast of America. and the Agamemnon towards England, The Agamemnon is to be accompanied by the paddlewheel steam-frigate Cyclops, for the purpose of taking soundings. The committee of .the Boatd. of Trade have requested the assistance of an engineer and shipwright officer of Woolwich dockyard to inspect the first of a number of 40 iron barges which have been ordered for construction at Blackwell for the purpose of dredging the Nile. The steam-transport Buffalo entered Woolwich basin yes terday morning partly laden with casting sand, and is filling up with steam machinery for the Western yards. The paddle-wheel steam-sloop Spiteful, Commander Francis H. Shortt, in Woolwich basin, is to be paid off this morning. The life-boat built by Messrs. Forrestt, after the design of Mr. Peako, assistant-master shipwright, of Woolwich dock yard, and about to be presented to the Chilian Government, was yesterday morning shipped on board a merchant vessel for its destination. GIGANTIC FLOATING LANDING-STAGE. LIVBRPOOL, MAY 22.—The large new floating landing-stage which is being constructed at the cost of the Liverpool Cor poration for the accommodation of sea-going steamers is all but completed. When finished it will be 1,002 feet long, or nearly three times lenger than the United States' frigate Niagara, and 82 feet wide; and communication will be ob tained with the shore by Means of four cast-iron bridges, each of which is 113 feet long, and 13 feet 6 inches wide from side to side. The bridges are constructed with ordinary tubular girders, on the principle of those forming part of the Britannia-bridge.. The Mode of construction is precisely the same as that which has proved so successful in the landing stage for the accommodation of passengers by the ferry steamers at the George's Pier. Upon a range of 63 rectangu lar pontoons, of immense size and str.ngth, are placed five rows of quadrangular hollow-iron girders or kelsons, each 1,000 feet long, which act as supporting ridges and fixing points for the main timbers cf the floor or deck, which latter has been constructed by Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Son, iron shipbuilders, on the beach at Tranmere. Three of these sections have been launched, floated down the river at high tides, moored in their positions, and connected ; the third and last section has been launched, and will be floated to its place to-morrow (Saturday) ; and this morning one of the bridges forming the means of communication with the pier was floated on a stage prepared for the purpose from the great float at Birkenhead to the new landing-stage, and suc cessfully connected with the stage and the pier. The opera tion was cleverly performed. Three pontoons had in the first instance been taken into the great float, upon which a high staging was erected. The bridge, which had been brought in pieces from Manchester, where it had been manufactured by Messrs. Fairbairn, was put together on the staging, and was this morning, by the aid of steamtugs, floated to its place between the new landing-stage and the pier, the stag ing upon which it was resting being sufficiently high to allow one end of the bridge to be shipped on the crosshead on the pier, the pontoons supporting the staging sinking with the tide until the other end of the bridge was shipped on the crosshead on tho, landing-stage. The entire operation was performed with the greatest ease and success. Another bridge is completed, and will be brought over with the high tide on Monday. The engineer is Sir William Cubitt, the contractors for the entire work are Messrs, Cochran, of Dudley, the estimated cost being 140,0001., and the sub contractors aro Messrs. T. Vernon and Son, Liverpool, and Messrs. Fairbairn, of Manchester. Messrs. Vernon and Son have completed about 2.3ds of the entire work, their contract including the making of the pontoons, placing them, fasten ing the kelsons, and the furnishing of the woodwork and the join cry. Messrs. Fairbairn are making the four bridges, and Messrs. Cochran have themselves manufactured the kel sous, in the construction of which 1,000 tons of iron have been required, the pontoons having also taken 1,000 tons of the same material. The deck is laid down with timber 41 inches in thickness, over which is a layer of 19-inch timber to give strength and durability to the work. EXPERDITENTS O.V NEW DECKED COP PER PONTOONS AT CITATHAtiI. On visiting Chatham on Friday morning, to mica , t further operations with Major Hassan", Sir Charles Pasley found that, owing to two days' inspections of the Royal Engineers under arms, first by the commandant of the garrison, and afterwards by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, it would be impossible for the pontoons to be put in, a state of perfect repair before the afternoon of Tuesday next, as the injuries done to them were much more serious than at first supposed. The final experiment of testing their efficiency for transporting heavy artillery is therefore postponed till Wednesday next, the 27th inst. A young and active corporal, who was employed for two years as a diver in a wet dock before he enlisted, had made several attempts to get up the gun, but had not yet succeeded. In so doing he worked from a raft of four piers of casks, capable of supporting twice that weight, upon which the gun will be deposited, and where it will remain until it is taken back to the gun wharf. _ This raft also will be moored , on the lower side of Old Rochester-bridge, opposite to one of the arches, next to that chosen for the raft of copper canoes, about 20 feet from the end. of the starlings, where both will be exposed at the same 'time to the fury of the ebb of the same strong spring tide. This will add to the interest of the experiment first proposed with the decked copper pontoons alone. Leaving every necessary arrangement to Major Hassard, Lieut. Philips, and the non-commissioned officers and men under their command, in whom he has perfect confidence, Sir Charles will join them at the Gun-wharf, Chatham, where the gun and carriage from Upnor will be taken on board, there being no time to save one day's previous practice, as was at first proposed. Officers or other gentlemen who take an interest iu such experiments, are recommended to be at Rochester-bridge at or before 3 p.m, on the day appei ate d— at which time it will be high water, after which the turn of tide, upon which the result of the experiment depends, will take place. THE ARMY ESTIMATES FOR 1857-S.—Yesterday were issued the estimates of the army services for 1857-8. For the effective services the sum required is 9,025,3601., being a decrease on the revised estimates of 1856-7 of 8,983,5001.

The room was, therefore, not numerously attended, and the betting was, with few exceptions, unimportant. Saunterer was again in great force, and his owner would have supported him for money at 11 to 1-10 to 1 was, however, the highest offer against him. He was backed for 1001. each for the best of places-1, 2, 3—against Anton, Tournament, and Skirmisher, and an offer was made to lay 2,000/. even that Saunterer and Sprig of Shillelagh beat each of any three. 900 to 100 was booked about Tournament ; and 10 to 1, to a " pony," and 11 to 1, to 751., were laid agst Anton. Arsenal receded to 11 to 1 offered. 20 to 1 was wanted about Strathnazer, and 1,000 to 45 about Adamas. We heard no price offered agst either M.D. or Sprig of Shillelagh. For the Oaks, Mcetissima, who bad been driven to 50 -to 1. early in the week, returned to 11 to 1 taken. The prices at the close were as under : DERBY. 6 to 1 aget Lord Zetland's Skirmisher (t and off) 9to 1 agst Mr. J. S.

ASCOT CUP. 15 to 1 apt Saunterer (t. to 1001.) BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY. • Considering that the race for the great Epsom Derby is so near at hand, we never saw betting at lower ebb than it is at present, which may, however, to a great extent, be attributed to the great and numerous invest ments that have previously been made upon it. The few transactions that came under our notice to-day were of scarcely any importance, and, principally " hedging" bets. There is one feature, however, that we think de serves special notice, and that is, the apparent magic properties possessed iu Saunterer. This horse is up and down in the market with comparatively speaking, no outlay of money. The odds to twenty pounds against him, in a certain quarter, judiciously laid, would send him to 25 to 1, and, by the same rule, less than that amount would bring him to one-third those odds. To day ho jumped from 15 to 1 to 8 to 1, and so puzzled did the layers of the odds appear to be with respect to this Saunterer, and so little inclined to meddle with him, that we could not satisfy ourselves as to what was his legitimate price, and shall therefore, for the present, leavo him out of her list of quotations. 20 to 1 to 251. was taken about Sprig of Shillelagh, those odds being afterwards offered. In other respects, the following quo tations will suffice:— DEBBY. 6 to 1 agst Skirmisher (taken) 30 to 1 agst Tournament (taken and offered) 10 to 1 agst Anton (offered) 10 to 1 agst Arsenal (take 100 to 9) 100 to 9 agst M.D. (offered) 100 to 6 agst Sydney (taken) 20 to 1 agst Strathnaver ( , ffered) 20 to 1 agst BLrd-in-the-Hand (offered) 20 to 1 apt Sprig of Shillelagh (taken and offered) 25 to 1 agst Zuyder Zee (offered) 25 to 1 agst Lady Hawthorn (offered) , 25 to 1 agst Warderinarske (offered) 66 to 1 agst Magnifier (offered) 66 to 1 agst Commotion (offered) OAKS. 5 1 agst Imperieuse (offered) HARPENDEN RACES-FRIDAY.

It will be remembered by those who attended the recent Chester meeting that some amusement was caused in the town from the fact of certain " saints" being prevented pour ing out their invectives against the races by the wise inter ference of the magistrates. A notice was issued to the effect that all persons so engaged on the racecourse would be con sidered trespassers, and treated accordingly. Notwithsta.ud iug this announcement, the attempt to preach was made, but immediately suppressed, and some of the violators of the re gulation were consigned to " durance vile." This circum stance excited a feeling of indignation among the sanctimo nious crew, who convened a meeting on Monday last, in the Chester Music Hall, for the purpose of " sympathising with the preachers who suffered pers flitl incarceration whilst in the faithful discharge of their duty." We could well leave the subject hero, were it not for the character of the speeches made at the meeting, which were really of so vague, illogical, and, in some iustances, profane a nature as to call for espe cial notice. First, we take the Chairman, a gentleman of the name of William Titherington, who, after alluding to the great benefits resulting from open-air preaching, concluded by observing that au attack had been made upon him, stat ing that his partner, Mr. Gill, bad won a large sum of mon e y upon the races ! which lie (Mr. Titherington) " regretted was but too true." This latter statement accounts for the fact that he did not indulge in the usual invective against racing, but contented himself with observing that Mr. Gill (after having won the " large sum of money") bitte r ly regre tt e d ever h av i ng visited the racecourse. (Loud cries of " Walker !") We trust that as a practical illustration of this gentleman's contrition, lie refunded the " large sums of money" so sinfully obtained; if not, we shall be happy to invest upon the Derby for him ! The Rev. D. Thomas next addressed the motley assem blage, and expressed a firm conviction that soon Chester races would be entirely abolished! ! We would refer this gentleman to Mr. Topham, and an inspection of his " red book" will perhaps allay his " firm convic tions." The "gent" who was " persecuted" and " incar cerated" next presented himself, and was, it appears, at one time an outcast from society; for, to use his own words, " his poor hands had been steeped in vice," but, of course, he had since become virtuous. We know nothing fur ther of this fellow, nor of his antecedents, but if his style of speech at this meeting may he taken as a specimen of his gene ral demeanour, a more intemperate " missionary of Christ," and ono less suited to preach the " gospel of peace," could scarcely exist. Take this passage for instance, " He had seen on the Roodee rows of carriagesfilled with harlots !" Another specimen, " Chester was not Chester during the races ; they must hang rt black funeral cloth over it ; Chester was Sodom, Chester was drunkenness, Chester was fornication, Chester was lying, Chester was swearing, Chester was gambling." After having proceeded some time in a similar blasphemous strain, he came to the " Mawworm dodge," and rivalled Buckstone in exciting the laughter of his audience by the following profane sentence :—" He had not one ill thought against Major French, but would rejoice if be were able to go to heaven with him arm in arm, and with the high constable and the policemen who took him to gaol ! !" Surely a ducking in the Dee would have been the most appropriate treatment. for such a lunatic. The meeting having been furtheraddreesed in a similar style, a resolution was framed that a petition be presented to Sir Geo. Grey to appoint the Chairman and Mr, Salisbury (the latter of whom refuses the paltry donation of 30 guineas to the fund so liberally granted by all previonill members for Chester) magistrates of th e coun t y; b ut it is not ver y likely, with this specimen before him, that the Home Secretary will insult the bench by any such improper appoint went. Racing has from time immemorial been the national sport of England. Royalty has patronised it, and personally " assists" at the sport, and it would indeed be a lamentable fact if for the want of exertion on the part of its supporters, the Turf were allowed to decay. With regard to this system of preaching, it is very laudable in its place, but on a race. course i,9 an intolerable nuisance, and no sight is more wel come to a pickpocket than the appearance of a preacher on his tub, for under the garb of religion he can pursue his de. predations unmolested.—Bell's Life.
