o London Times has the following refutation Of the

Establishment Of banking institutions in Turkey
Imperial Ottoman government, having, been in

Plishing bank at Constaninope, and that he pre-
TO have the right Of proceeding against all other
lee who may undertake the formation OF su ID
hment In the Ottoman EmDire, have felt their duty
clare through their Embassy to London
p NJ Trouve Chauyei does noi possess any hrman or
ege whatever for the formation Of a bank In the OF
Empire, such hrman or privilege having never
conceded 10 him by the Imperial government. Tina
years since certain number OF bankers and mer-
10 of Constartlnople did, as founders OBTAIN nrman
the Sublime Porte for tho establishment OF a pr-
I'D bank; but NJ. TIouve Chiuvel, being UNKNOWN

ise, ana gave the sublime Porte a solemn declsra
their renunciaiion and the hrman was conse-

London Times gives very long and Interesting

nd steel without fuel The essential feature OF Mr..
mer's invention IA that he takes crude iron directly
the ordinary bast furnace, and ia the Incredibly
space OF thirty minutes converts IL into ingots OF
hble iron or steel Of any size and ct for the
ulatloas ordinarily employed TO adapt them TO all
aierial purposes 10 which th,y are now applied. He
dispenzcs with all the intermediate processes to
recourse has been had to produce the same effect
the last seventy years, including the making Of
pio pigs, and the refining pudding, and squeezing
with all their attendant labor and fuel. He sets
|th the assumption that crude iron contains about
Der cent OF carbon; that carbon cannot exist at
heat In the presence Of oxygen without uniting
With and producing combustion; that such combus.
Forid proceed with a rapidly dependent on tho
t Of surface Of carbon exposed; and, lastly,
