CONsTANTINOPLE, June 6.-Yesterday after
noon, about one O'Clock, a fire broke out, which
spread with alarming rapidity through the rich
est quarters of the city. The flames were first
discovered in an old building in Pera on the
north side of GOldenhOTn. A strong wind was
blowing at the time, and the fire quickly
communicated TO the adjoining buildings.
The efforts of the fremen and citizens to stop
the progress of the flames were futile, and in a
few hours the residences of the English, Ameri-
can and Portuguese ambassadors and consul
Iates, theater, many churches, mosques, and
thousands of houses, and the richest stores
and shops in the city were reduced to ashes.
The loss OF life by falling walls has been
fearfully estimated. At least thirty people
were killed by this cause alone. The loss is in
calculable. The tire at this hour, noon, is still
burning tercely, and the excitement of the
people beggars description.

RIoToUs PRoCEKDINes OF THE BowRNrTEs.-
As Mr.. George W. Hatton was addressing the
Emery mass meeting in front OF the Woodbine
House, on Saturda night, q number Of Bowen
strikers left the City Hall rabble and made their
appearance in the crowd, for the evident pur-
pose Of creating a disturbance. The proximity
of the meetings had made it necessary to send
for the police reserves, fearing there would be
q collision between the two Political parties.
The prompt interference Of the force prevented
serious riot, ahd the Bowenites concluded IL
would not pay TO force q fight, and returned to
their own meeting.
AS the Fifth aud Sixth Ward Bowenites were
on their return on Saturday night from the City
Hall, passing up Capitol Hill, they seized on
nearly every white man they met, demanding To
know whether they were for Bowen or Emery;
and in one instance newspaper man was over
hauled in this manner, and after giving one of
: the Bowentes q crack over the eyes with q
cane, managed to escape from the roughs.
