The following is from the Levant Herald of the ric.,
inst. :—Tht Porte has granted to the Smyrna and v;:t;
Baba Railway Company some important modificatf,,
in the concession for prolonging its line 's
itho•
ther distance of fifty miles to Alascheir, with
view of facilitating the raising of the capital requmjs
As our notices from time to time have shown, the preg4,
of this railway has been very encouraging. The B'l'osBl,
ceipts have nearly doubled in the four years it has beenio
work, and the net profit has more than doubled within to
same period,having advanced from 216,891 in 1866, to g4°':toli
in 1869, or to a little over 5 per cent. per annum on the 01'41
of the company. There can be no doubt that by construct' yl
the proposed extension to Alascheir, a larger dividend °oil
be earned on the total cost of the whole line. A queetilo'
principle, which has been for some time under diectl's!ief
between the Government and the company, as towile" 0
certain items of expenditure were properly charge3bie
revenue. has, we are glad to learn, been arrallg'et,..
a manner which is equitable and satisfactory for both
ois
ties, and the sum of 28,328, which had been retained frul
the guarantee pending its final settlement has, according
