CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 14.—Mehemet Ali is endea-
vouring to tamper with the fideiity of Governors of the
different provinces, not only of Asia but also of Roumelia.
An Egyptian brig arrived a few days ago at Salo-
nica, having on board six of his emissaries charged
with confidential communications to the authorities of
the interior, and one of them addressed to the BeY
of Salonica himself; and containing, as regards the Porte,
the most treasonable proposals. The Bey, however, has
been proof against the temptations held out to him, and
by his timely exposure of these machinations put his
Government on its guard.
The Austrian steamer, just arrived from the Danube'
brings intelligence that the Russians have erected a
battery at the Sulina entrance of that river. A 51°'
went of general confusion like the present is too favour"
able to encroachment to be overlooked by Russia.
But, though nothing of political importance has oc-
curred during the last week, I have an event to record
which, whatever sensation it may produce elsewhere,
at Pera, at least, could, in point of real stirring in",,
terest, be surpassed by no other. One-half 11
that suburb has been again burnt to the growl-
The quarter where it first broke out was the
Greek one, whose narrow wooden streets presented
a mass of the most combustible matter that could he
well collected together. Almost the whole of the Ai'
nnenian quarters were destroyed in a few minutes. The
only chance that remained of saving the rest of the town Was
presented byasmallguard-house,constructed of stone, air
situated in the centre of the street. It was at this
critical juncture that the Prince de Joinville, fol-
lowed by the crews of the French frigate and
brig, threw himself gallantly into the flaming breach.
In the space of two houis they had succeeded
in demolishing the wooden edifices adjoining the
guard-house, so that the devouring element was here, at
length, in the absence of further nourishment, brought
under.
This dreadful conflagation occurred on Friday last, anan
continued to rage between the hours of twelve at 11°°'"
and twelve at night. On the most moderate calculation
3,000 houses were destroyed.
The following morning 30,000 of the late inhabitant!,
now houseless, might be seen bivouacked among theire
effects in the neighbouring countries. Subscriptions hay_
been set on foot for the sufferers, and the Sultan ha;
issued a firman ordering every Mussulman to give part
of his house for their accommodation.

THE NEW POLICE ACT AND THE B•01(1+,, I
RESIDENCES.—It will be recollected that in the begianis;
of the present year a madman, named Flower, was disco(
vered at a late hour in the night in the picture Ole/ t
Buckingham Palace, after her Majesty had retired w rtr.:
and no great distance from the Royal dormitory. This to,
cumstauce caused a strict inquiry to be made, so as t° -0(1
certain to whom blame was due for neglect of duty; s
the result was, Ledbitter and Capes, the two officers red
had been appointed to do duty at the Palace, were relloe,
from thence, Ledbitter being sent to Windsor, and Cap
to Brighton; and in their stead two insp,.ctors and six cs°.
stables of the A division were appointed to de the dutt
Since that time the New Police Act has come into operstw,A

the seventh clause of which provides that "it shall
be
lawful for tile Commissioners of Police to administer t
oath to any constable belonging to the metropolitan poltoe'L
to execute the office of constable within the Royal Pala
of her Majesty, and ten miles thereof." In aceordse
with the provisions of this clause the required oath 1"`"
administered to Steed and Russell, the two inspectsrl
previous to her Majesty's leaving town for Windsor; stild
upon her Majesty's proceeding to Windsor they follffisei,

ance at any residence her Majesty may be plcaseclot

the old officers are dispensed with. • • uaVe
