THE CONFEDERATION At PERA
Tho Frank Quarter OF Conzsnntlno-
p1c-Destrsyed Diplomatic lkesi.
deMccs Swept away.
From the London 1fnes, June !.
We have to announce very disastrous
ereut-the destruction Of tho British Embassy
at rera, together With large part OF the city
by fire. Since the great war Of 1854 50 many
Of our countrymen bATe bacome acquainted
with the Frank quarter Of Constantinop1e, the
district Of diplomatic residences and European
society, that the place needs description no
moro than any other European capital. The
steep and nslrow street rising from the aqualor
Of the Galata wate1-sidc, and tiankcd IN its
course upward by buildings in which Or
dinary meanness is relieved by occasional
splendor, las long been ono Of tho
we'll known, too, is tile British Embassy, which
md has alwayB been upheld bT our country
N an a. the creat Hlion, of Fera, The te1e-
graph informs US that its splendor is at an end.
4 frc, which is described as burning from
o'clock IN the day to near midnight, has
destroyed the palace Of the great English
EIchi and wo know not how much of the city.
There WAS strong wind, the flames spread
with rspidity, and besides the British Embassy
there was destroyed the American and portu-
Gueae Consnlatcs, the Nsoum Theatre, the
palace Of the Armenian Patriarch, naauy
clufches, mosques, and several thou
sand houses and shops in the finest
part of pera. Our first feeling mnat
be sympathy with the multitude Of
families who have lost their all. In the
imperfect civilization Of tho East there arc feN
fallen on the population. Many Own tho houses
| in which they live and infwhich they carry On
their business: tho house and it's contents
forming often their only fortuna Insurance
ia comparatively little reBorted to- and, indeed.
from the frequency and peatructiyoness Of
pera in this matter it certaiuly better on than
Stamboul, since there is q good deal Of stone
in its construction but even in Pera fire
raGea az it seldom does in Western city. It
il 10 be hoped that the Turkish Government
and the hand Of private charity may provide
Looking at the event from sanitary aud
artistic point Of Wow, wo may take comfort.
Fe caunot sag how much of the city has boon
DESTROYED but the quarte, whcre fhe conha-
grafton chiefly RACED contains tho most yaIu-
able eitea and would best repay Improvement.
and for imrroyement there is indeed room, 4
great deal has been done for l'era in the last
fow Tears. Gas was introduced in 1858. and
| the inhabitants are no longer obliged to pick
their eay over the fapeoif STONES Of tho streets
| by the light OF their little paper lanterns.
New and epacious houses have beel, built. and.
