CONSTANTINOPLE IN FLAMES.

SULTAN'S SONG.
Thanks, thanks, to the seal of my Hey Allies !
Briunnia and Alla be prated!—'tie aU o'er ;
I'll make a bonfire that shall blaze to the skies,
And illumine the heaths of old Marmora's shore.
Come, WiLIMISTOII, come, friend, and dance round the light;
And thou too Merrsamen, my dear brother, come:
Your squadrons complacently anchored in sight,
In ►al4st and terror must ►ear away home.
Clap brooms to their mast heads—and open you jails,
Tour trade to the East is now crushed at a blow ;
" The balance •f power," now upset in the scales—
If I must come down, why you also must go.

The Turkey Mail has arrived of the 25th, but we have
accounts five days later from Constantinople by the
foreign Papers.
A report prevails in the Stock Exchange, that the
Russian fleet has left its station, and that Admiral Mal-
colni has gone after them to watch their movements.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser, July 18 :
" We are authorised to say that there is no foundation
whatever for the assertion that the Government of the
United States has been in communication with the British

Minister, upon the subject of opening a negociation
with the English Government respecting the Tariff."
Singapore Papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house, to the 27th of March,
stating that the Honourable Governor-General left that
settlement on the evening of the 13th March for Pe-
nang and Calcutta.
Accounts from Smyrna state, that 15,000 troops
were expected there, and would immediately proceed to
Adrianople. Omar Pacha was sent with a corps to
Schilla, the mouth of the Bosphorus, where the Russians
had made a landing.
Accounts from Lisbon to the 6th of August, state,
that some disturbances have taken place in the Alentego
and at Lira, between the Constitutionalists and the par-
tizans of Don Miguel. At the latter place they were of
a serious nature. The Constitutionalists lost in a rencontre
with the troops, thirty wounded and four killed.
We hear from Toulon, of the 15th August, that the
bomb vessels were ordered to be ready for sailing on the
next day, as the breaking off of the negociations with Al-
giers had determined the Government to bombard the
above place.
The American Papers received this morning state, that
Commodore Beddle will take passage in the Constellation,
at New York, for the Mediterranean, whither he will
proceed after landing the respective Ministers to England
and France.
HARVEST AND CROPS.--The weather has been de-
structive to the later crops : much of them must be greatly
damaged, and not a little portion of them entirely lost.
Nor does the look and experience of this day augur a
change for the better. We sincerely sympathise with
the half-ruined farmer—for, with few exceptions, he has
little to expect from the tender mercies of his landlord.—
