It is gratifying to know that the patriotic desires
of which the present Sultan of Turkey has given.
so many noble proofs, to economise personal expenditure,
and devote the savings thus effected to the improvement of
the army, that indispensable element of the conservation.
and peaceful progress of the empire,still strongly influences
the imperial family. The latest instance which has come
to our knowledge is that given by Prince Youssouf
dine Effendi's mother, who has offered to the battalion of
the Guards, in which the prince, her son, is lieutenant, 600
Enfield rifles; and an order to manufacture them has just
been given to an English house.
An alarming fire occurred at Marseilles on
Tuesday on the premises of Messrs. Imer,
Fraissinet, and Baur, distillers of petroleum oil.
The fire originated in the distilling room, and the
whole building was instantly in a blaze. Two men
who were in the room at the moment were burnt
to death. The firemen were promptly in attend-
ance, aided by 500 soldiers of the garrison, and
all their efforts were directed to confine the con.
flagration to the building where it began. Water
having been found to produce no effect on the
burning petroleum, great quantities of earth
sanfoaogoefr., to
which
thei chbuilding

were brought and thrown on it, and by this
means the fire was got under after five hours'

The Malta 7inies of the 21st says :—" The inter-
ruption of the Malta and Alexandria telegraph an-
nounced in our last still continues. The injury is sup-
posed to exist not far from Bengliszi,on the east side,
and :t is satisfactory to mention that there is every
reason to believe it is of a purely mechanical nature,
as the stoppage was quite sudden, and took place
without any previous deterioration or fluctuation of
electric force, whilst a message was being sent
through the line to Alexandria. Every effort is
being made to discover the exact locality of the
damage, which is supposed to have been caused by
some ship's anchor dragging during one of the late
violent storms on the coast. An officer from the
station of Benghazi, attended by a proper escort
from the Caimakan, has been despatched with in-
structions to proceed along the shore to see if signs
existed of any vessel having been driven on the
coast, and, if necessary, to proeccutc h;s researches
a hundred miles to the eastward."
