TURKEY.

Constantinople letters and journals to the 16th
have reached us. They all agree in representing
the winter as of unusual severity. The levant
Herald has the following :

" The Commission named to frame a scheme for the orga-
nisation of a new Bourse gave in its report to the Grand
Vizier on Monday. It recommends that the new establish..
ment shall consist of three classes of members, namely—
stock, cargo, and ship brokers, of whom there shall be forty
of the first, eighty of the second, and twenty of the last.
Of these the stock-brokers shall be required to make a de..
posit in the Caisse d' Amortissement, by way of caution-
money, of either 1,600 liras in effective, or of Government
securities of that value at the market prices of the day.
The four-score cargo brokers shall similarly lodge 400 liras,
or their equivalent in stock, and the ship-brokers the same.
In addition to a yearly subscriptiun of 1,000 p., each mem-
ber of the three classes shall pay a lump entrance- fee ; that
fixed for the stock-brokers being 60 Bras, and for the others
in proportion. Finally, the three classes shall pursue their
bnsiness in separate parts of the establishment, which last
will be open for only three hours daily, and be under the
control of a Porte commissioner and a committee consisting
of two members from each of the three class of subscribers."

THE HARTLEY COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—A sub-
scription was commenced yesterday in Mincing .lane for
the benefit of the widows and families of the pitmen who
have lost their lives in the Hartley mine. Nearly £4OO
has been contributed by the merchants and brokers in the
immediate neighbourhood. The list lies for signature at
the London Commercial Salerooms. In the Stock Exchange
likewise a 'very considerable sum is being raised.
THE DREADFUL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—A com-
mittee meeting of the corporation of Reading was held yes-
terday, and the members, before separating, took into
consideration the best means of assisting in the relief of the
distress which has befallen so many families in consequence
of the terrible catastrophe at the New Hartley Mine, and
it was decided that a subscription should immediately be
commenced, in preference to incurring the delay that would
be occasioned by calling a public meeting. A sum of about
£4O was at once raised, and subscription lists are lying at
various places in the town. In charity, be prompt—and
twice blessed.

CHARGE OF INDECENT ASSAULT.—A charge,
made by a servant girl of 14 against the Rev. Evan Berry,
the minister of Croft Chapel, Hastings, has caused great
excitement in the neighbourhood. The case was brought
yesterday morning before a bench of magistrates, the Mayor
presiding. The girl gave her evidence with a degree of
assurance perfectly astonishing in one so young while de-
tailing the alleged offences. Beadon Wrentmore, a carpen-
ter, who is a lodger in Mr. Berry's house, deposed to several
facts which had come under his notice, and -which led him
to believe that the statements made by the complainant
were true. Superintendent Glenister, of the police, stated
that last witness had taken a prominent part in bringing
forward tho accusation, on the ground that he thought mo-
rality was being outraged. 'Witnesses were then called who
proved that it was quite impossible that Mr. Berry could
have committed the offences of which he was accused at the
time and places specified, and that the girl had given a very
different account of Mr. Berry's conduct towards her. After
the examination of the second witness for the defence, the
bench stopped the case and dismissed the accused. On
leaving the court Ihe rev. gentleman made a narrow escape
from a crowd of lilackguards collected at the door of the
court room.

SHIPWRECK IN CARMARTHEN BAY.

TERRI FIDE, FRIDAY NIGHT.

I have to report (says the Rev. Win. Williams) that last
night information was brtiught to this lifeboat atation,belong-
ing to the National Lifeboat Institution, that a two-muted
vessel was on shore on the outer ridge of the Cefn Sidan
Sands. The crew of the lifeboat was immediately mus-
tered, and the boat having been launched, they proceeded
in order to render assistance to the wreck. Unfortunately
the darkness of the night—a thick mist—prevented them
making out the vessel, which had no lights burning, nor
any other indication whereby the crew of the lifeboat
might discern her whereabouts. It being near low
water, some of the crew landed on the Cefu Sidan,
and in two detachments proceeded on foot in
search of the vessel, but were unsuccessful. The life-
boat was therefo e moored in a place of safety, and again
at daybreak the crew proceeded on their errand; but it is
feared that the vessel broke up during the night, as she,
could not be seen and portions of wreck were picked up.
There is a rumour here that the vessel is a French schooner,
which broke loose from her moorings in Caldy Roads, near
Sanby, and that the crew have safely reached Pembrey. I
have taken steps to prove the truth of *his rumour. The
official report will be sent to the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion to-morrow. The crew of the lifeboat were out tho
whole ten hours.

SHIPWRECKS AND LOSS OF LIFE IN

THE IRISH CHANNEL.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.

A telegram has just been received from Water-
ford, announcing the wreck, at Queenstown, of a
large ship, supposed to be the Indian Ocean, bound
from Liverpool to Sydney.
All on board perished, and dead bodies are float-
ing about in all directions.
The Indian Ocean was owned by Messrs. Baines,
Liverpool.
Another telegram, from Milford, announces the
foundering of two ships when running for a haven.
A barque has also been dashed to pieces in the same
neighbourhood.

The barque Comet, of London, is in the greatest
danger, and her masts cut away.
