A TERRIDLE CONFLAGRATION broke out on the 3rd inst. in the district of Constantinople called Akserai. From half-past eleven in the morning until nearly night the city was overhung with a thick cloud, which the strong south wind seemed only to make thicker by rousing the flames. The small engines which the Turks make use of were of little avail in checking the flames, and, in. any circnm stances, with a wooden town, along season of dry weather, and a strong wind, it would be difficult for the moat skil ful firemen, aided by the best machines, to make head against a conflagration. On this occasion 1,500 houses, six mosques, and several magnificent koraks have fallen a sacrifice to the flames. THE NR.W VICEROY OF SICILY has published an onion. dance by which all who wear a beard are enjoined to at once to et* it off. PRINCE NiroixoN has caused an application to be made to different railway companies to induce them to organise pleasure-trains at reduced prices, in order to bring a number of visitors to Paris to visit the Universal I Exhibition, Ifittropslitast gialtats.
