Let us glance again at what British commerce might suffer from a [tussian seizure of Coustanti nople. In the Manchester Chamber ” Commerce, recently, it was stated that, whereas British exports to the vast Empire of Russia were last year only tbree millions sterling, exports to Turkey were eietoats millions. Give Constantinople to nmia, and this large trade with Russia would witber and disappear under the ‘scovite authority.

CONSTANTINOPLE

We find the following description of Con slanuinopie in the Rudder, The sketch of the city and its surroundings is of interest at the present time, as the probabilities are that it may, ere long, become the scene of stirring events:— « Constantinople is about thirteen miles round and is enclosed by walls on the western or land side, The ‘Harbor’ or Golden Horn, on the north, divides it from Galata and the Bosphorus divides it from Scutari, These are propers ly but suburbs, but make up together the city of Constantinople. It would be quite impossible to imagine a site better fitted for the building of an Imperial city on. Nos thing would seem to be wanting; and it is no wonder that the eye of the world is every now and then fixed on it, The popu- lation of this Impepial city is about balf a million and is madeup of a somewhat mothy group—of Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Araos, ‘Europeans,’ and Turke ; the Turks soldiers in the field, perhaps without any|™*king up, as it would seem, about very large supply of ready money.
