The Journal dc Constantino-pie has endeavoured , in a series oi articles , jo encouraee tho Turks in their anti-Cbristian persecutions . Sultan Mahmoud had laboured s-aceeysfally to remove ihe fanaticism and prejud > ces which , during ag * i 3 , bad drawn an impassable barrier between the ilahomratdan world aud Christendom . During h ? s long reiga Christians were no longer persecuted for their Tcligion . By the introcucti- 'ii of judicious reforms , he endeavoured to reconcile his -Mohammedan subjects to his own liberality of sentiment . The bfcbi proof of his success the interest tvhica tne
was - state of Turkey suddenly created in the public mind in Europe , and ihe earacs degira which was di ^ piaj-cd by ; ho mo . -t enlightened governments to afford her proper protection and support . In a few years pnblic opinion , with regard to this country , was completely changed . By a rash and imprudent act—an act both uncalled for and unnecisary—the preFv-nt government has endangered the position Sahan Mahmosd had so earnestly endeavcured to assume . And this act is accompanied by other instances of persecution acd fanaticism , ana hts served to awaken a spirit of intolerance wb ! ch will leao , unless speedily it pressed , to even more serions results . Those , therefore , who would encourage the Turkish Government , by their approval , to persist m a course which must end in the destruction of this empire , are no truo friends of Turkey , bat are servicg the caase of her most dangerous enemy .

Uiasubject is accounted for by reference to ihu aikged ii < justice of O'Cvniiell towards the states , vritii tin ; following va ^ ue statement : — " We have every rea * ou to believe , inert-lore , that some general organiz-uion or associaiion will soon bo produced in this metropolis , baying for its object tho legal and constitutional reform of all tbe Governments of Wt-sterii Europe . Here will probably bo the grand runtra of a great revolutionary movement , equally embracing England , Franco , Italy , aud Spain . Such , at least , is our recent iui ' ormution . "

LOSS OF THE STEAMEH SaRAH BaII ^ ES AND PlXteen Lives . —On thr 24 'h ult ., at noon , she crossed the Galveston bar for tnis pert . On the next morning , the 25 th , a considerable leak was discovered in her hold . All ths pump 3 were set to work ; but they were able to keep her free tor a short time only . At nine o ' clock a . m ., when about 75 miles from Galvesion , it having been found that the water was gaining on the pumps , and that both wind aud sea were increasing , the captain determined to run her into the Sabino river . But bojjjeviug the accomplishment of even this doubtful , from the rapid manner in which the leak increased , he concluded to run her ou the nearest shore . He directed her course accordingly , the whole of the crew and . oassengu' 3
being iu the meantime engaged 10 baling her cut . At half-past two o ' clock p . m ., the water , notwithstanciiu £ their exertions , bad ascended to the fires and the engine . Fattier efforts to counteract the leak were therefore uiiavallirg , and to save their lives became the concern of ail on board . They then set about making raits of the cotton bales—four bales to a raft—aud lashed together some spars for other rafts . She was now sinking rapidly ; the lead was heaved , and there were found six fathoms of water . There was no confusion or complaining ; all seemed to be impressed with their perilous position , and to Bave their lives was the object which
engrossed their attention . Orders were given to cast off the boat ' s painter , and while doing this she sank , it being then forty-fivo minutes past four o ' clock in tho afternoon . There were on board altogether tbiriy souls—of these eighteen went on the rafts , ana twelve took the boat . Of tho former about five were saved , after drifting about three days end' three nights . Two of them landed on Gaiveston Island , and the other three on Bolavair Point . Of the laiior but . three perished—who were passengers , two males and a female—and the / were lost in the breakers , in landing from the boat on ihe 26 ih . —Neu > York Sun .

The fUmea from the building , though tew , being almost wholly of wood , gained a rapid head , and in leas than ten minutes after the discovery of the fire It had penetrated three otbenr buildings uaed as cbaise-housea , as well as severs ! more departments . The two parish
engines were tbe first to arrive , followed by the brigade engines from Wbitecrosa-Btreet and Watling-street The Saines still progressing , tbe uremen exited themselves in saving a large building over the sa * pifca , and a range of sheds at the aide of the canal . Although tbe beat was most oppressive , yet tbe firemen continued to labour without intermission until half-past nine o'clock , at which hour the cocfligration began to yield beneath their exertions , and in the course of another half hour it was extinguished , but not before the buUdAu&s abovementioned were a mass of ruins . The total damage must amount to a considerable sum . Fortunately Mr . Salmon was insured In the County Fire-office to the amount of £ 2 600 . Not the least idea can be formed ss to the origin of tbe fire . v

The Thames was tbe property of Mr . Greek , of Bristol . On leaving Calcutta tberfi were ninety-five Lascars on board , but twenty-five bad died from scurvy and disseutery on tbe voyage homewards Tbe surgeon on board left the ship along with : the captain ou her reaching Margate , without providiog me * drcal treatment for any of tbe oraw Who might be sick .
The Lascars lived on fiah , r > ce , and split peas , bnt had no meat . The deceased bad been ill about four days , and on Friday was found dead in bed- Several of the Jury severely animadverted on the treatment the Lascar seamen reeeivedj and tbe Coroner said it was the duty of the owners to provide medical assistance , and should death ensue in consequence of not having it , they were guilty of manslaughter . The chief mate , in reply to the question , said there were twenty Lascars now ill on board without medical attendance , and it vcas not unusual for a great man ; Lascars to dia duriug tbe voyage . They have n 6 barnmocks to He upon , but only rags , wuica they find themselves . Mr . H . Bloomfield , surgeon , said be bad been on boird the vessel , and had seen the body . He waa
of opinion tbat consumption was tbe cause of death . He bad examined all tbe crew , but there was no evidence of dysentery being prevalent on board . . Witb the exception of about four , nearly the whole were suffering from scurvy , four or five of them so bad that be could remove their teeth witb the greatest ease . This , be should say was caused by diet . The inquest waa adjourned . At the adjourned inquest the foUowing verdict was returned— " That the deceased had died a natural death , by tbe visitation ef God ; but the ' jurors considered there was a great degree of inattention on tbe part of tbe managers of the ship , in not providing medical attendance on tbe arrival of the ebip at tbe East India Docks , and also a place distinct from the part of toe eijip occupied by the deceased and other Lascars , which was found to be in au unwholesome and filthy state .

London Corn Exchange , Monday , Nov . 20 . — The returns of English Wheat in the past week shew very moderate arrivals , whiie the supplies of all Other GrraiD nave been limited . Toe number of samples of horns-grown Wheat freak up from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , being comparatively trifling , and the attendance of both London and country millers good ; the demand for tbat article , particularly for selected qualities of both red and white ( which formed but a small portion of the supply ) was steady , at prices fully equal to , but at nothing beyond those obtained on this day se'nnight , and at which nearly the whole was disposed
of . The few transactions in fine foreign Wheat were concluded at late rates ; but that in bond was a mere drug , though not ch « apsr . The supply of Bailey being more than adequate to meet tha wants of tbe dealers , the sala for ali kinds w .-ts aeaey , and prices bad a downward tendency . The Malt trade was again inactive , yet we can uotica no alteration in the quotation . From all quarters , especially from Ireland , tbe arrivals of Oats have been scanty . Good Corn was in demand at foil prices , but other qualities commanded very little attention . New Beans moved off freely ; old qualities slowly at late rates . Peas and Floor ware dull , at last Week ' s figures .
