TURKEY.

Accounts from Constantinople of the 15th say
that the great event of the day is the removal from
the capital of two celebrated antagonists to the Re-
form party—HALlL PACHA and SAAFELTY PACHA•

The first bas been named governor of the province of
Brussa, the second is sent to take charge of the
Turkish islands of the Archipelago. These nomina-
tions have given rise to much animadversion among
the Ministers. When RizA. PACHA and SAAFELTY
PACHA, with HAUL PACHA as Grand Admiral,
assumed the reins of government, the finances
of the state were in a most embarrassed po-
sition. They restored them to a sound basis,
and reformed the currency. The army was a
shadow, they left it a substance, and even
their enemies declared that of all the efforts
made to reorganize and reform, it is in the army
they have been most successful. The grand fault was,
in the eyes of diplomatists, that they were too inde-
pendent ; they would not allow the-Porte to be dic-
tated to on every occasion, and insisted that Turkey
should fly on her own wings. Be that as it may, the
probabilities for this party to return to power is lost
for the time.

People in general are very ill-disposed towards
the Government for having effected the loan. The
conditions might have been more favourable, and num-
bers of wealthy Turks would give their money o❑
lower term?, notwithstanding that the legal interest
is 12 per cent. throughout the whole of the empire.
One great result is, it is said, that the Bank of Con-
stantinople ceases its operations by the month of No-
vember. The Government has lost immensely by it,
but those persons immediately interested and em-
ployed in the establishment have realised princely
fortunes.

It is well known that the SULTAN bad made a
concession to M. LAMARTINIi of an extensive farm in
the neighbourhood of Smyrna. M. L. has leased it
to an English gentleman on certain conditions, which
have not been accepted by the Government. An
Armenian company, however, offered a sum of 8001.
per annum for twenty.five years: on the Government
conditions, which has been agreed upon, and ratified
by all parties. The result is that the SULTAN'S grant
has been converted into an annuity of 8001. for
twenty-five years, for the exclusive benefit of M.
LA-
MAETINE and his heirs.

Orders have been issued for the return of the two
naval divisions that have been dodging about the Ar-
chipelago. They have been ordered up for the end
of this month, and will immediately enter the Impe-
rial arsenal in the Golden Horn, in time to be safe
from the storms of the approaching winter. How
can the Turks ever pretend to a good navy by keep-
ing their ships at anchor years and years in the ar-
senal ? and even when the ships are sent out, they are
as soon ordered back, before the sailors have time to
get over their seasickness.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN BRIGHTON.—Shortly before
two o'clock yesterday morning, a fire was discovered in the
house of Mr. Bickford, jeweller, King's-road. The houses
adjoining being built entirely of wood, and merely faced
with what are called " mathematical tiles," were soon in a
blaze. Mr. Chase, chief officer of the police, and several
other members of the force were speedily on the spot, and
the hose having been attached to the water-plugs the fire
was got under and eventually subdued. The three houses,
however, occupied by Mr. Bickford, Mr. Gay (toyman), and
Mr. Dixie (optician), with their fragile contents, were des-
troyed, the interior presenting only the appearance of black
and charred rafters and beams.
VISIT OF MR. FORBES MACKENZIE TO HIS CON-
sTITUENTs.—We learn that it is the intention of Mr. Forbes
Mackenzie to visit his constituents on Monday next, and
that he and his colleague, Mr. Charles Turner, will be in
attendance at the Town-hall each day during the week,
from eleven o'clock, A.m., for the purpose of receiving depu-
tations from the several commercial bodies, and of meeting
those parties who may wish to wait upon them on public
business. This, it will be remembered, used to be the prac-
tice of our Members in the good old
