The Traffic Receipts Of The Great Wester...
The traffic receipts of the Great Western Eati ,-wax of Canada , for the week ending September 23 , were 8 , 922 Z ., or 9122 . less than in the corresponding " week of last year . In explanation of the falling off , it is stated that a heavy storm had interrupted the communication with the Michigan line . ' The dividend declared at the half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Sambre and Mettse Hatlwat Company was Is . 6 d .. per share to the original shareholders . There was only a surplus available for preference charges and dividend of , £ 15 , 978 , owing to the damage done to the line by the l ate floods , or 3 s . per share instead of Is . 6 d . would have been paid .
Heeepath ' s Journal announces that " : Sir Cusack Roney has sentih his resignration of secretary , & c , to the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada . We believe he will leave it about the end , of this or the middle of next month . Another and more important engagement , we understand , is the reason of his resignation . That the Grand Trunk will lose a most valuable and efficient officer in Sir Cusack , and one whom they will not easily replace , -cannot be AnnYiteA . "

The extension of the line from Horsham to Petworth—the first instalment of the Mid-Sussex Rail wax—was inaugurated on Monday , and everything passed off satisfactorily . It is seventeen miles i n length , and has been about two years and a half in construction , and passes through a beautiful piece of flat country , richer in scenery than that portion from Horsham to Three Bridges , and it skirts the towns of Pulborough and Billingshurst , each of which has a neat station . At the meeting of the Recife and San Francisco ( Pernabibuco ) Railway Compan y , the report
stated that the works on the remaining sections were proceeding with activity . During the months of June , July , and August , ihero had not been the usual falling off in the traffic ; but , on the contrary , an increase of one-third in the amount received . The working expenses on the part opened for traffic , however , had exceeded the receipts by 513 Z . 3 s . Id . Detailed accounts were expected from the Brazils by the next mail . The last two calls , the directors were happy to state , had been responded to with great promptitude . Very little discussion ensued , and the report was
adopted . The Luxembourg and Thionviixe Railway was inaugurated last week with considerable pomp , the ceremony attracting an unusually large attendance of distinguished persons . King Leopold sent hiB Minister * M . - Tesch , on a special mission to represent him at' the ceremony , and to compliment , in his name , ' the young Prince of Orange and Prince Henry of the Netherlands . The Grand Vicar , after blessing the line and locomotives , made an appropriate "discourse , and the railway company afterwords gave to a large party a magnificent banquet in the Town-hall . The railway , as well as its branches into Prussia and Holland , how in course of construction , is the work of an English firm , Messrs . Waring Brothers , of Westminster , who received the Cross of Leopold from the King of the Belgians , and that of tho Oaken Crown from the King of Holland . ^

Njew National Bank Of Turkey.—We Find Th...
Njew National Bank of Turkey . —We find the following in'the Times - . — Another move has been made towards the formation of a national bank of Turkey . A concession was granted by the Government some two or three years since to certain persons , who then undertook to find capitalists able and willing to carry out the project of a national bank . Messrs . Gladstone and Bodocanaelu , both of London , have now undertaken the task , and have deposited the 2 O , 00 OZ . caution money . The capital of the bank is fixed at 1 , OQO ; OOOZ ., power being given to raise it to 3 , 00 O , 00 OZ . The concessionaires are to have the exclusive privilege of circulating notes , and the withdrawal of the remainder of the kaimes is
therefore a necessary feature of the Scheme . During the first year of its operations the bank is to limit the amount of its notes in circulation to double , the value of the bullion i n its coffers , after the expiration of which period the notes issued may be to the speci * in hand in the ratio of three to one . Bills bearing three good signatures will be discounted , and deposit accounts kept . This project has been so incessantly before the public during the last three years—ever too On the verge of completion , that one has naturally become sceptical with regard to its proximate accomplishment . r . Chamber
Fjrexch Trade witii the East . ;—The of Commerce of Marseilles has opened a new trade with Erzeroum , and the report of the success of the experiment is most hopeful and most glowing . The naivete of the hope expressed in this report must not be passed over : — " The exportation of muslin and cotton prints all throughput the East , at present entirely in the hands of the English , will doubtless pass into those of the French so soon as tlie latter shall have taken the pains to form the taste of their Oriental customers . The beauty of design and harmony of colour , for which the French manufacturers are so remarkable , cannot fail to replace , in a short space of time , the coarse patterns and primitive mixtures of Manchester , amongst people who display in their own fabrics such well-known delicacy and taste . This announcement should put Manchester on its
mettle . , . Trade in South Australia . —The advices from South Australia by the present mail reach to the 19 th of August . Adelaide letters state that trade generally was quiet , but that the progress of the colony in her mineral , pastoral , and agricultural productions is rapid and vigorous . Steps hare been taken in favour of the construction of a grand trunk railroad , to run 400 miles north of Adelaide . Copper remained steady at £ 100 per ton ; avooI , 15 d . to I 7 d . per lb . BurraBurra shares , 146 . order to discourage tho
Postage Stamps . —In transmission of qoin by post , the Postmaster-General has authorised the officers of the cluei . office and oi the district and branch offices to receive postage stamps from the public , if not soiled or otherwise damaged , at a charge of 3 per cent . ; the ciwrge , however , never to be less than one halfpenny . Under this arrangement , lOs ^ jd . will be givon for stamps of the value of £ 1 . ; 9 s . 8 . d . for 10 s . ; 4 s . 10 d . for 5 s . ; 2 s . Gd . for 3 s . 6 d . ; lljd . for Is . ; SJ . J . or 6 d . , and bo on , the full value loss one halfpenny being given lor any amount of stamps not exceeding Is . 4 J . Wo separate stamps will be received , In all case ^ they must be presented in strips , at least two stamps adhering to each other .
