CONSTANTINOPLE, Sart. 2.
The Imperial Ottoman Raillery Company of the
line intended to 7.611 from the Danube to the Black
Sea—that ia, from Tchernavada to Kustendjee—has
offer, l its shares here for sale since Saturday last,
the 29th of August. Subscriptions or application
for scrip are received by the bankers, Hansom and
Co., and a first payment of 6 per cent. has to be
made by the sharetakers. The fact that 2,000
shares have been purchased already in England, and
moreover the great advantages trade must derive
from this railway, and lastly the small number of
shares reserved for the bankers here, will cause the
300 shares, each of 1001., as stipulated in the impe-
rial finnan, to be eagerly taken up. There has been
a great demand for them this day.
The suspended diplomatic relations between the
Porte and Russia, France, Prussia and Sardinia,
were restored last Monday. On the prtrious Satur-
day, icdeede the flap had been rebolated at the
Russian palace in Buyukdere and the Enna&
embassy in Therapia, and at both places the heraldic
arms had been replaced. The Prussian and Sardi-
nian legations followed the example during the
night between Sunday and Monday at Pers. It
was thought great ceremony would have been dis-
played at the last-named place on such an occasion,
hat the affair passed over with the greatest quiet in
the dark.

Meson. Price, Larkins, and Joyce have received
from the Porte the concession of the railway between
Samsonn and Sivas. It will be 2.50 miles long, and
run through the most fruitful districts of this
coup try.
The" capital required for this undertaking will
amount to 4,500,000/., and the sum of 23,000 t. must
be paid to the Porte within six weeks as guarantee.
The works will be first undertaken in the direction
of Amnesia, thence on to Tokat, and from this latter
place to Sivas. The government guarantees interest
at the rate of 7 per cent. and will take no part of
the dividends away from the shareholders. The
concession has been laid before the Sultan for his
final sanction.
