that effect which he could wish to the character

January ~. 1850.
On Friday last the Blonde was honOred with
the company at dinner of Captain Bey, second
in command of the Turkish navy, and Reale Bey
a Rear Admiral. and Leman Refs Bey the Navy
Commissioner. with Captain Kelly, the Comman-
der Of the Steam Navigation, but unfortunately
the harmony of the evening was suddenly inter-
yup,ed by the breaking out of fire on the Galata
side of Constantinople. which soon assumed
most alarming appearance. The flames spread
Ike wid6re, and having taken direction in the
line Of the Custom House, it was deemed advisa-
be- as well for the safety of the town as that of
The Shipping, to send large force from the Blonde
assist in arresting the progress of that destruc-
i've clement. Consequently Lieutenant Barrow
sou Of Mr.. Sec. harrow. of the Admiralty Mr.
TlrtOn, the master, and Lieutenant Hayes, Of
ae Marines, and one hundred seamen, with a
DIVISION Of Marines, landed, and their prompt
conduct excited great admiration. Fading they
could make little progress in arresting the fury
Of the flames by the engines, they turned to and
lore down, BY main force, range OF houses which
Ily between the Custom House and the direction
which the fire had taken; and thus, by sacrifc-
III. eight or ten houses, they saved the extensive
towns Of TOphana, Galata, and Pera, perhaps the
Turkish navy, and the thousands of merchant
'nPs OF all nations that are lying along the Galata
and Pera wharfs: for had the fire reached the
CsstOm Ouse, where there are numerous stores
Oh 'ombusnble materials , it would be impossible
10 prevent It's communicating to the merchant
'"?png, and those breaking loose, would soon
nave drltted amongst the Turkish ships of war,
AL thus have fired the dock yard, the city of
S'A''an'nOple, and perhaps the Seraglio; owing
however, to tie exertions of our people, the fire
"'' got under by II at night. About 40 houses
las been consumed.
