LEWES.

Actsea has now got into realgOod work for the Liver-
pool Cup, and her few days rest since the Cambridgeshire
triumph appears to have done her good. She galloped a
mile and a half first class, this morning, and moves un-
commonly free. Ostregor galloped about a mile, and
Heide() cantered a like length. Binnacle, Marlborough,
Miss Fanny, Thermometer, and Goldylocks, were also in
mile work. The rest are doing little beyond walking and
trotting at present.

WOODYEATES.
The Special wont a mile and a half at a clipping pace
this morning, and Mail Train followed, but at some dis-
tance, and at a steadier pace. The first mentioned Mies
evidently being specially prepared for the cup
race th
ensuing Aintree meeting; but the public must be cautious
in their market movements anent that affair, as, if they
y
are forestalled, the stable might ring the changes w
Mail Train, who is not only a good horse, but is very fit.

SMYRNA AND CASSABA.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, Adelaide-place, London-
bridge ; Mr. C. Gilpin, M.P., in the chair.
The report alluded to a temporary falling off iu
the traffic receipts after the first few weeks from the
opening of the line. The directors found that the
falling off in the receipts was owing to the cessation
of that portion of the passenger traffic which had
been attracted by the novelty of the line, and also
to the wet and hot season during which travelling in
Asia Minor was avoided as much as possible. This
cause led to a reduction in the receipts from passen-
gers, while the receipts for goods remained nearly
stationary, at the low figure with which they had
commenced. The receipts were at the lowest point
in the month of July, during which the weather was
very unfavourable for travelling—the passenger
traffic averaging only £482 per week, and the goods
traffic £165, together £647, or £lO IGs. 21. per mile
per week. The returns received since that period
had greatly improved. In the month of August
the average receipts per week were £569 for pas-
sengers and £230 for goods—total, £799, or £l3 ls.
Bd. per mile ; in the month of September the weekly
receipts averaged £639 for passengers, and £376 for
goods—total, £1,015, or £l6 12s. Bd. per mile, and
for the week ending Oct. 7 the passenger traffic
amounted to £590, and the goods to £sl3—total,
£1,103, or £lB ls. 6d. per mile. With a view to
develope the traffic agents had been appointed in
Smyrna and in the interior of the country to make
arrangements for sending goods traffic by the rail-
way. The line was still in the hands of the con-
tractor. A commission had been appointed to exa-
mine the railway and report thereon to the autho-
rities, prior to its being taken over by the Turkish
Government, which was delayed by some formalities
that had to be gone through. The engineer-in-
chief had reported on the completion of the works
by Mr. Price, the contractor, and on the supply of
rolling stock for working the traffic.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re-
port, said the temporary falling off in the traffic had
been fully accounted for in the report, but with re-
. ference to the present position of the railway it
came up, so far, to all the directors had anticipated.
The traffic returns had continued to increase since
July up to the latest return they had received. The
great difficulty in developing the traffic of a new
railway was to Mace the people in the district to
give up the old system of conveyance and to adopt
the new and more rapid one. The Turks were
rather slow in that respect, but means were being
taken to obtain additional goods traffic, which he
had no doubt would prove remunerative. The
goods traffic had gradually increased from £165 in
the week ending the sth of July to £513 in the
week ending the 7th of October. If they could in-
duce the camel owners to go further into the in-
terior, and bring the goods to the railway at Cas-
saba, they would have work for double the present
number of camels. The company had a good line,
and he believed it would prove a profitable one.
The report was then adopted unanimously.
Mr. BURCHELL remarked that the railway had
been honestly made and honestly paid for, and it
was now being honestly worked to earn a dividend.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the directors.
