We have received accounts from Constantinople
(says the Constilutionnel) to the 7th, via Germany,
which, without announcing any solution relative to
the loan, informs. us of the different phases through
which it had passed. On the 6th, after leaving the
Sultan, the Ministers went to the Porte, where they
held en extraordinary council, and which several per-
sons who do not form part of the Cabinet were
invited to attend. The sitting continued until night,
but nothing was decided on. It was, however, said
that a definitive decision would be conic to on the 9th.
The French Ambassador had, it is said, pointed out
to the Government the incalculable consequences and
even the danger which would infallibly arise from a
refusal of ratification. It was added, that he W2S
in a few days to have an audience of the Sultan, and
it was this step principally which was calculated on
to shake the repugnance of the Palace. In the mean
time the anxiety felt in the money market at Con-
stantinople cannot be conceived, much less described ;
and as the houses which are not compromised directly,
with the Bank are so indirectly by their business re-
lations with other houses, the panic is general. M. J.
Alleon, one of the directors of the Bank, has tendered
his resignation offering his fortune in payment of
the sums which he has guaranteed. The Govern-
ment would not accept it, and has requested him to
continue his functions, assuring him that everything
would be arranged. M. E. Baltazzi, the other di-
rector, has not yet manifested his intentions. The
affair of the customs becomes every day more gloomy;
the deficit of M. Dj6zserli, the farmer-general, is es-
timated at 60 millions of piastres (15 millions of
francs), and it is stated that the Council had decided
that the Ex-Grand Vizier, Rechid Pacha, and the
Ex-Minister of Finance, Hafiz-Pacha, should be held

with a sudden repulse, owing to the points balliced, met
order ; the waggons fell with tremendous foorge out of '
each other, and the poor fellows on the top wereehurpin
to the ground, most of them escaping in a very nnur,l"
lona manner from being fearfully injured. One ;coo'
fellow, however, was less fortunate, for his foot wa:
jammed between the buffers of two waggons and erns! .
ed in a frightful manner. The poor fellow, whose name
is Hetherington, was immediately taken to the Newark
Dispensary. As both lines were completely blocked up,
signalmen were sent in each direction to stop the trains,
several of which were due and three down and two up
trains were soon brought to a stand. Ultimately the
line was cleared, and the trains departed.
