GREAT FIRE AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

The Moniteur of yesterday contains a communica-
tion, addressed by General Larchey to the Minister
of War, giving an account of a coutiagration which
broke out at Constantinople on the 17th of July, and
for a time exposed the French military workshops to
imminent danger. The fire began just after noon,
and, favoured by the heat of the sun and an impe-
tuous changing wind, consumed 130 houses. The
buildings occupied by the French were entirely of
wood, and were only saved by the incessant exertions
of the pompiers, who likewise saved many houses of
the town, which must otherwise hare been destroyed.

The following have been appointed select preachers
at the University Church, Cambridge, during the en-
siling academic year: —October : The Helicon Lecturer.

The blowing was the report:—" Communications hare

( pet that they hate not been •hale to driest

The statement of account, showed that the Wanes in head

The Cornwall', in moving the adopt:en of the report,

ment was the fact that the directors bad been compelled to
take proceedings against the Leeds Northern Company for
the recovery of the amount outstanding between that Com-
pany and this. They were, however, sainted by high
authority that the money was quit* safe. Me might add
that the lateral on the assets was just on a par with the
current expenses.

The report wee adopted, and the proceeding* terminated
with the nasal rote of thank* to the Chairman.

BALL AT THE TUILERIES.

The second grand ball for the mason wan given
at the Tuileries on Thursday night. AU the enure-
ment, were on the sure magnificent scale as bad marked
the preceding fees. and the whole range of splendid apart-
ments along the Place des Carrousel were thrown open on
the occasion. The pests began to anin about nine o'clock,
and in an hoar after the greatest portion of the persona in-
vited had entered the Palace. At ten o'clock the imperial
party made their appearance in the Salle des Manichauz,
the Emperor having Queen Maria Christina leaning on hie
arm, and the Empress being snorted by Prince 'MIDS.
The Princess Madill& and Prism Napoleon followed,
with the principal oSeers and ladies of the imperial house-
holds bringing up the rear. The orchestra, conducted by
Strauss, played "Permit pour la Syne," as the Emperor
and his party entered. Immediately after a quadrille was
formed, in which the Empress darned with Prince Napo-
leon, their vis-a-vis being the Princess Mathilda and Lord
Cowley ; Marsha Maven and M. de Hubner, the Aus-
trian Minima, being amongst the other persons ad-
mitted to the quadrille. The Emperor did not dance,
but remained conversing with some members of the diplo-
matie corps. The Empress was dressed with great simpli-
city in white. and wore a magnificent diamond neck-
lace, interspersed with large emeralds. The Princess Ma-
thilde wore pearl., lacleding her famous pearl necklace.
supposed to be the finest in existeace. Her imperial high-
ness also displayed in her hair an ornament that was muck
admired, being an eaglet formed efdiamonds of great value
The Emperor had on a general'. talkiest, but with silk
stockings and thou. It is impartible to amain a spectacle
of more gorgeous Illeliiiollooll than this jets displayed as
the imperial party went through some of the rooms. The
wooderfal display Of diamonds and the rich dresses of
the ladies, the decorations and splendid uniforms
of the superior oilcan, and the oeelal costumes of the mi.
sisters, *suitors, end ambers of the Council of State and
Legislative Body, promoted a cowpd'•,ril of dazzling bril-
liancy. It is supposed that about 4,000 persons were pre-
sent, and pt.(' ample were the apartments that no vagina-
sent crowding wan perceptible. Their Majesties proceeded
at one o'clock to the Salle de Diane, where supper, con-
sisting of every delicacy, was laid out; and after partaking
of some »freshmen, returned again to the Salle des
Marechauz, from which they finally withdrew about two
o'clock. Dancing was, however, kept up with groat spirit
for an hour lesser, at which time the Jets terminated.

SPAIN.

We have received a copy of the bill for the sale of
the property of the clergy presented to the Cortes by I
the Spanish government on the sth. After setting
forth the formalities to be observed for the sale, the
bill enacts that a three per cent. stock, equal in
amount to the sums realised, shall be set apart for
the use of the clergy, the communes, and charitable
establishments. The advantage of this proceeding to
the government appears to be that they will receive
a certain amount of cash at once, whereas they will
I only have to give the equivalent in rente. The same
day, in the Cortes, it was decided, by 182 votes to 32,
that the discussion of the bases of the constitution re-
lative to.the royal sanction should be proceeded to
before the others. When the pro'don of the com-
mittee on the subject was read, an amendment was
presented for specifying the cases in which the sanc-
tion should be exercured, but this amendment was re-
I jetted by 138 votes to 82.
The Madrid Gazette publishes another series of
addresses from the provincial deputation of Alicante,
Burgos, Badajos, Ciudad Real, and other places,
expressing devotedness to the government It also
states that the secretary of the cavil governor of San-
tander, having heard that the Girlies intended to
make a rising at Laredo, had icons to that place at
the head of a detachment of the Radom! Guard, but
that no insurrection was attempted.

The Patrie, of Paris, states that letters from Lou-
don received in Madrid, announce that the Carlist
party has sucoseded in negotiating a loan of 200
millions of francs, of which 10 per cent. has already been
paid up. This news (the Patris adds) seems highly
improbable, on account of the large sum named.

THE WEATHER AND THE COAL TRADE.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, FEB 10
The long continuance of easterly winds and rough web
they on oar coast is blocking up our harbann with shipping ;
it is computed that there must be 1,000 sail of vessels in the
Tyne, the principal part of which are coal laden, and wait-
log a favourable opportunity to put to sea. A great num-
ber of vessels are ready to proceed with their freights of our
staple mineral to foreign ports, and above twenty sail of
laden ooNiers will leave the Tyne for Constantinople and
the Black Sea with coals for the fleet u soon as the wind
changes and the ma goes down. In consequence of the
inclement weather, freights to London are looking up, but
Mere is not the least cause to anticipate that there will be
any serious advance of prices at the London market.
212,150 tons of coals were imported by sea into London
in January, 61,815 tons by railroad and canal, which is an
increase on the former, as compared with the same period
last year, of 10,004 tons—decrease in the latter of 918,319
tone.

ARRIVAL OF THE TAO US WITH AUSTRALIAN

GOLD.
-.•---

The Peninsula and Oriental Company's steamer
Tagus, Captain Joy, Admiralty agent Lieut. Form, KN.,
arrived at Southampton on Saturday. Her dates were
Alexandria, January 23; Malts, 27, and Gibraltar, Feb. 2.
She brought thirty-eight passengers, and her cargo winastod
of forty-three boxes of specie and Australian gold•dust,
valued at above 150,0001. sterling, 120 boxes of oranges, 840
bales of silk, 70 packages of elephants' tusks. She brought
also the heavy portiow of the India, Chins, Mediterranean,
and Australian mail, consisting of 271 boxes and eight bags,
and weighing about ten tons. This is the last overland
Australian mail that will be received, for the present at
least, in this country. The Tagus experienced most
frightful weather. From Alexandria to Gibraltar
she met with strong winds, and from Gibraltar to
England a continuation of heavy gales ahead, with
much sea. The wind was from the north and east.
Captain Joy had to be continually on deck the whole of the
voyage. He is much used to the Mediterranean, and he
states that the winter there is unusually severe; the tops
of the mountains on the African coast were covered with
mow. When the Tagus left Malta, her Majesty'sateam
frigate Spiteful, was preparing to leave the harbour the
neat day for the Crimea, to convey Admiral Stewart, who
is appointed second in command of the Black Sea Jest, Sir
George Brown, and several °Mears of the army and navy
discharged from the hospitals convalescent, to the seat of
war. At Gibraltar, a French steamer and tug, assisted by
400 soldiers, were trying to get off her Majesty's ship Heels,
ashore on the south aide of the rock. They had managed
to move her only ten feet. It was blowing very hard at
the time. On the 27th ult. passed her Majesty's ships Ceylon,
Bellerophon, Spiteful, Cyclops, Sheerwater, sad the steam
transport Hydaspes, with 1,100 French troops on board.
On the 29th ult. the Tagus passed • screw tranaport, No.
171, and a French ship of the line and frigate, all steering
SE. On the Bth February she exchanged Mouse with
ship transport, No. 32, standing to N.H. At Gibraltar, on
the 2nd inst., there were the transports Rajah and Ennin
Killen, bound for Malta ; a large number of transports called
at Gibraltar almost daily.

more severe in those towns than has been known for years.
Southampton Docks were frosen over on Saturday night, a
circumstance never known before. and the margins of
Southampton Water were covered with ice. The Camber,
at Portsmouth, was also froseo over.
The Channel Islands mail, which should have arrived at
the Guaira Post-office on Saturday morsiog, had not been

'Ns WEATnn.—The coldest night experienced
is London for some considerable time past was Saturday
alibi, when the mercury in the thermometer, at Um Royal
Raman. Society's Receiving•boaee, Hyde-park, fell to 16
degrees below freezing point. At 9 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing the thermometer indicated 23, and, at noon, 30. The
wind, yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, was a little to the
north, but, during the day, it veered from the north to
north-east. The ice on the Serpentine was 60} inc►es in

DRAMA.

HATIATERT.
On Saturday evening Guy Manuring was prO-
darted at this theatre. Mies Cushman appeared foe the
first time, daring her present engagement, as Meg Merrilies.
Any attempt to particularise tea merits of a performance
so familiar te the public would be superfluous ; the cha-
racter is sae that Miss Cushruaa bat made entirely
her own; and she showed that else has lost none of
that energy and passion which distinguished her assumption
of this part. Of the other performers we need only mention
Mr. Compton, as Dominic Sampson; Mr. Rogers as
Medi' Diorama ; and Mrs. Caroline White, as Julia Man-
airing. A Mr. George Tedder made his first appanace
at this theatre, as Henry Bertram. He has a good voice,
which he displayed to some advantage in the music allotted
to him ; but he did not exhibit any power as an actor to
call for special remark. The scenery was very effeetive,
particularly the gipsfencampment in the second act. The
performance concluded with the pantomime of Lail* Bo-
Peep. The house was crowded in every part. Miss Cush-
man was called before the curtain at the conclusion of the
play, and received a most enthusiastic reception.

DESPATCH FROM ADMIRAL BRUAT.

The Frost& Minister of Marine hes received from
Admiral Brost the following repeat, dated Oat. 18,
completing the intelligence already received by tele-
graph respecting the capture of Kinbarn :
" Monsieur Is Ministre,—l have already had the
honour of transmitting to your Excellency a first
sketch of the operations of the Allied squadrons
during the day of October 17.
_

" Ail the information I have endeavoured since
then to obtain in order to arrive at an wet estimate
of the part taken by each of the vessels placed under
my orders in these operations, has only cosfirmed
the first impressions ander which I drew up the tele-
graphic despatch sent that same evening to Varna.
"The floating batteries, supported most efiloaciously
by the bomb-ketches and gunboats, silenced com-
pletely, after three hour► fighting, the fire of Liebe:is
het, armed with fifty guns and mortars.
" This fort being reduced, the two other works
which the Russians bad contracted farther north
and armed, one with ten, and the other with eleven
guns, could only uselessly prolong their resistance.
Their construction, being more modern sad scientifi-
cally arranged, would have enabled them, however,
to sustain for some tiros the fire of the ships and the
other vessels of the squadron; but taken in reverse
by the frigates and gunboats that had crossed this
Otohakoff narrows, they were equally obliged he
succumb beneath the numerous artillery playing
spinet them.
"I attribute the prompt success we have obtained,
in the first place, to the complete investment of the
place by land and sea; in the second place, to the fire
of the floating batteries, which had already made
several practicable breaches in the ramparts. The
firing of these batteries, directed with remarkable
precision, would have sufficed to overthrow walls of
greater solidity. We ;moot expect too much from
toe employment of these formidable instruments of
war, when taken into adios' by aims so distin-
guished se those to whom the Emperor had confided
the command of the Devastation, Lave, and Ton-
mote;

" The navigation from Odessa to 'Unborn pre-
sented some difficulties for vowels having a draft of

water like that of the Montebello, %gram, Ulm and
Jean-Bart.

The wares taken by these ships was sinfully
ir.arked out by the frigates. mattes. and paddle.
steamers of the squadron.
Whatever were the obstacles which the advanced
Naos had enabled me in part to waive, I bad
plead confidence iaj the intelligent seal of the cap-
tains and idlest% no bus than in the ardour of the
saws.

de The generous emulation of the two Allied squad-
roam, the mutual conlidenes of their shiers, the co-
operation of those valiant troops, to whom we are
'gaited by the remembrance of so many trials sup-
ported in common, were also is my eyes infallible
pledges of nooses. " BRUAT.•

DENMARK AND THE UNITED STATES

HAMBURG, Nov. 3.
There is some room& to believe that, after all,
Rosalie has accepted the office of mediator between
Denmark and the United States, and proposed, se an
adjustment of the difficulties, that Denmark shall
ads her island of St. Thomas to the United States
for the sum of five millions of dollars, and total
exemption of American ships and cargo from the
future payment of the Sound dues. Although the
colony is of no value to Denmark in a pecuniary
point of view, rather causing an expense than bring-
ing in a surplus, yet Denmark is said to have de-
clined the proposal, out of consideration to the
Western Powers, to whom such an acquisition of
territory on the part of the Americans, so close to
their own West Indian possessions, cannot be
desirable.
H.M.S. Pigmy has received instructions to cruise
in the mouth of the Elbe, to look out for contraband
of war. She is said to have already picked up a
Dutchman, with a cargo of sulphur,and for Ham-
burg. I cannot guarantee the latter, bat give it
you as it is related here on 'Change.

A letter from the Hague, of the let, says:

Pablie attention has been much suited hire, during the
last two days, by a sudden and rather considerab.e fill in
the Dutch toads at the Bonne. It is now known that it
was partly occasioned by numerous silos made on account
of English houses, and pertly by the purchase of silver
bullion to the amount of about 26 millions of francs on
account of aothaebild's house. By this means it has been

sought to oonaterbaleace, as met; as possible, the sales of
French Resta made about a fortnight ago in Paris by
Amsterdam house'. Yesterday our Bourse we' better.—

ALICE GRAY, THE IMPOSTOR.

Statements have been published to the effect that
the extraordinary young woman who has recently attracted
so much attention throughout the country by her clever bat
heartless impostures is a native of Limerick, and that her
mother, a very honest woman, resides there. Also that her
father, who is dead, bore the name of Haggard, and wee
from Oilgate, in the county of Wexford. Tao Mosselleasr
Goardisa of yesterday, however, says:—Mary Atkinson,
alias Alice Gray, is the daughter of a poor but industrious
man, • mason, or wailer, in Kendal, who many years ago
died suddenly of cholera. Mary Atkinson, st her father's
death, sought the protection of an aunt, named Askew, •
widow, at Old Hutton, about five miles from Kendal, and
who took her under her roof. "Alice" had lived with her
aunt—who possessed a small farm—only a short period
when the latter disposed of her farming eta& and agri-
cultural implements, the proceeds being deposited in the
Bank of Westmoreland. " Alios " knew this, and in
order to obtain the money she represented to her
aunt that there was a kind-hearted lady named Robson,
living at Amblesideorho took great interest in money belong-
ing to widows, and she would give twice as much interest
as the bank to any widow of good reputation; and that
Mrs. Robson had made several inquiries respecting the in-,
tegrity of Mrs. Askew. The bait took. Mary Atkinson
succeeded in obtaining on different occasions the sum of 20L
from the widow (who withdrew it from the bank), pretend-
ing, in the meantime, that Mrs. Robson had presented her
'with Bs. 6d. to purchase clothing kr the children, which
Alice bought at a draper's shop. Alias subsequently per-
bank d,
a ahcle:l4l,". ft it inthellia 'id? or; I:: in itUAI69 esf rto a ttikj:
telling her, at the same time, that the Bank of
Westmoreland was going to discontinue payment,
and that for the 601. Mrs. Robson would pay her Si. a rear
interest. Mrs. Askew banded it to her niece to give to Mrs.
Robson (who of course was • " Mrs. Reich"), and " Alice NI
never amain returned to her aunt's. These things took
place in 1847. Some weeks prior to this fraud being disco-
vered Mary Atkinson had entered upon a house in Kendal,
furnished at in style, and then disposed of the furniture, by
night, to private individual', and by these means defrauded
several tradesmen who had placed confidence in her repre-
sentations. She also induced a lady, a resident of Kendal,
to entrust her with a package of clothing for the lady's son,
which she offered to carry to the metropolis, where, she
asserted, she wss going to receive a large amount of money.
Three years after the death of her father (about thirty
years ago) her mother married a tailor, who died three
years ago, and the mother of " Alice " is still living in
Busher, Kendal, and takes in washing. So much for the
parentage of the Alice Gray of many aliases !
