CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7.—A dreadful accident oc-
curred on Thursday morning at Zeiten Bournow, where
the imperial manufactory is situated. The great chimney
of the manufactory, which has been erecting for several
months, and which was raised to the height of nearly
150 feet, all of a sudden, and while a great number of
men were at work upon it, separated from its base, and
fell down, carrying with it all the unfortunate workmen
who were on the scafg ddings, and were crushed by the
enormous weight of the ruins. The false and incorrect
calculations of the engineer who erected this chimney,
are the sole causes of this deplorable accident, which has
crushed above one hundred victims, fifty of whom have
been taken up dead.

tives was engaged to-day on the discussion of the

Chamber of Representatives. Love for the country, the

—Allgemeine Zeitung, Nov. 21.

A curious question is now pending before the
Irish Chancellor, whether a nun can have civil rights,
or whether she be not absolutely dead in the eye of the
law. The case is M'Carthy v. M'Carthy. All parties
are Roman Catholics, and Sir Colman O'Loughlin, a
Roman Catholic barrister, will argue in support of the
proposition which bars the enjoyment of the claim.
MORTALITY OF TIIE METROPOLIS.—The total num-
ber of deaths registered in the metropolis during the
week ending Saturday, Nov. 21, 1846, was 966. Of
these 941 were from other causes than violence, showing
an increase in the deaths from disease, as compared with
the week preceding, of 48. There were no deaths from
cholera during the week. The deaths from typhus were
58. There were 1,303 births registered during the
week.

On Sunday evening M. A. Morel, of Marseilles,
was passing through the passage du Saumon, when he
perceived that he had lost his pocket-book, containing
4,500 f. in bank notes, and a quantity of bills. Ile turned
back to look for it, exclaiming, "I am a ruined man."
" No, sir," said a stranger near him, " not if your ruin
depends on this pocket. book," at the same time present-
ing it to him. M. Morel, in the utmost joy, wished to
make a handsome recompense to the person who had
found the pocket-book, and thus relieved him from so
great a perplexity; but the other positively refused to
accept anything. " Give," said he, " a 20f. piece to that
poor man near whom I found it, and I shall be perfectly
satisfied." This was a poor old man who sold chemical
matches, and who was enchanted at receiving 25'. from
M Morel. The person who found the pocket-book, was
a hair dresser of Augculeme, named Fouchet.—Parts
