The telegraph now- assures us that more than a thousand lives have been lost In the recent terrible lire at Constantinople. The amount of property con stimed at the same time is roughly estimated at from a hundred to a hundred and twenty-five millions of ' dollars. Be these figures exact or inexact, they are of such magnitude as to make It apparent that the calamity of which they assume to give -us the mea sure must be considered one of thjsmosc serious of iLOdern times, .. . TOPOGRAPHY OF CONSTANTINOPLE. Constantinople lies In latitude 41 -0'16 north, and longitude S6'3860 east, on the Sea of Marmora, at the entrance of the Tbraclan Bosphorus, which separates Europe from Acta. Its position, one of the most magnificent In the world, the extent and safety of Its harbor, and the power concentrated for Its defense, make It the key of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. - Kast and northeast of the Golden Horn lie the suburbs of Galata and Pepe, the scene of the recent conflagration. The largest of these suburbs Is Galata, whlcn Is built In part anon a-hlll. In part upon the plain formed at the foot of the hill by two val leysthe one on the eaet, the other on the west. , Galata is in shape almost a conical hill rising from tlie blue waters of the Golden Horn. Higher again above It rises European' Pera, which-stretches north eastward to the English embassy and the hills be- ' yond, and which slopes downward to Top-Hane, the "House of tbe Cannons," with Its mosques, its foun dries, and its artillery barracks. Beyond Top-Mane lies the Turkish quarter of F oundouklea, and beyond again lies the new palace of Sultan Abdul-Aziz, kDown as Dolma-Bagatcbe. Galata and Pera are united with Stamboul by1 bridges of boats which cross the Golden Horn and tae port. . THI SC'KKB O THB) FIRE. We are not yet clearly told whether the recent Are ' broke out-la Galata or In Pera. Its ravages, how ever, as reported, seem - to have been severest in Pera, and we may assume It tnere to have spent its rage and done the most --extensive damage. Pera occupies the heights which overlook Foundouklou, . ' Top-Hane and Galata. There are the palaces of ' the lorelgn embassies, the consulates, the chief hotels, and the European merchants. - 4AXATA.' ' Whoever visits Constantinople by water disem barks at Galata. Tnere are the Custom Houses through which the stranger passes, we are sorry to be obliged to say, with much less vexation of soul than through those of tbe "best government which - the world ever saw," and from these Custom Houses a narrow street of stone .steps leads steeply up to the tall "Tower of Galata," which marks the limit be tween this suburb and theuperlor Pera. Up these stones lively males and Eastern horses Btep as cracefully and as daintily as so many young ladles. Porters toll up them bearing on their heads vast weights of baggage, trunks and portmanteaus, bar- The streets, which open out to the right and the left as one climbs upwards to the tower and to Pera, are for the most part wretched, narrow, dirty, though mainly built in ton. -Yet In these streets are to be found the offices of the great foreign bank lng-houses, the lines of steamers, the telegraphs in short, the European life of Constantinople. Along the water edge In Galata runs a seinl-clrcuiar street filled with cafes, sailors' boarding-houses, and tav erns of the lowest kind. Here swarms and foams a mongrel population, the scum of Europe and of the East. " ,. - DP TO fERA. Fast a church and convent of the Franciscans (which we presume to have been burnt) the street which leads from Galata to Pera leads us, before we rach the Tower of Galata, and directly after that we come upon tbe ancient-icJcie of the whirling or dancing dervishes. This establishment was burned np some years ago: and though the dervishes had recently begun to rebuild It, we understand that no great progress had been made towards raising the absolutely necessary funds. From just above tbe . tekie of the dervishes began the true "main street of Pera," which forms the acia of that town. There we come upon tbe "flower market," the espla- . nade. of the Itchoglan College, destroyed in 1831, and aeivlng to-day as a barracks. To the right of the consumed tekie of the dervishes a street . leads straight up to tbe English palace.' This street, soon alter It pause the Hotel d'Angleterre, begins to show shop fronts of a most dazzling kind. Palais Royal jewellers are here, and makers of fancy goods from Lyons side by side with grave men of business ' from Algiers and from Tunis, exhibiting rare em broideries and intoxicating perfemcs. Up this street It must have been that the lire most furiously swept. On its areadfal path It must have passed - not only the hotels, which deserved to be burned, but Legations of Sweden, Belgium, and France, the . French and Austrian Post Ottlces, the Russian Em bassy, on us way towards the Embassy of England. All that It passed It seems to have scathed; and yet the range covered by It was acch that It must i have more than rivalled, In the extent and the Importance of the rain which It tas wrought, the fearful conflagration of 1S81, which also destroyed the English Embassy of that date, together with many thousand houses, for the most fart, however, bulit of wood. 1IIE DEAD KOYELIST. Dir.' DJrktW Wife and Famlly-Tae Voallaa Peerage Btarjr llckeua .Dramatic Ability. THE FAMILY OF PICKENS. Mis. Charles Dickens survives her husband. She has lived apart from him ever since their unfortu nate differences resulted la .a public scandal In 1&66. Mr. Dickens bad buried several children, and lea es two daughters one married to Mr. Charles Collins, brother of Wllkle Collins, the novelist, and . one unmarried and several sons, the eldest mar ried and nl,e y dabbling In literature, one in Aus trtia, one In the navy,- and one winning high honois in the university. Miss Hogarth, a slater of his wife, has given her lire to tbe care of the family, and was with Mr. JJlckens at Gad's Hill at the time oi u s drath. . ... Oi his many friends, perhaps the most intimate wa Mr. John Fornier, the biographer of Goldsmith and Landor, to wuom.Mr. Dickens dedicated the last adltionsof bis works; and It seems likely that upon "Mr. Forster will devolve the doty of writing the lite ol his friend. The gieat humorist bad many per aunal friends In this country, though in his recent visit hia exhaustive labors as a reader made such de mands upon his time and attention that he was able to outer very few private houses durisg his whole stay. He was an intimate friend of Mr. ichter, and the mail by the last steamer brought a letter from Mr. Ldckens to Uie tragediau. Noihing could well be raoxe absurd thaaibe rumor circulated in tome quarters of an intention on the iart. o( the U.ueen of England to raise Mr. Dicseus to tt peerage.

DICKKN8 A8 AN ACTOR. It was fifteen years ago, in 1855, that Dickens first b&L-anie conspicuously known in Loudon society as the possessor of dramatic talents hardjy less note wwriby than lii gift a an author, iu that year he took a leading part iu the perforinaue at his then residence "Tavistock House" of a striking play In two acts, written by Mr. Coilius, TU JjiyluJwwie. So much was said of this perform ance, aud so much curiosity was excited In regard to'it, that Mr. Dickens nually consented to appear iu it at Campdeu House In Keuslngton, then inhabited by the fashionable, since become the felonious, I'l'louel Petrie Wauph. The play was then per formed for tbe beueflt of a charity connected with be Ui in Ue Ciiiuea. '1 hat splendid luauaiun Was jjwUtd n lift tte xuusi brUiafii company thai cou!4 ne aPsemMvil In London, and the following was the Cast vt the wotnedy : Aaron Gamacfe. b,nd Mkt4eep,r Oharlm Diotoae Martta 'iwmock, faifm.. ....-. .Wilki, Uollim -Jacob Date, taird ligbt-fceeper..... Mark Lvraon bam fWM, s pilot. . . Agaai Rug, A., K. A. Relief M keepars, boatmen, eto. Phfrwrwoed Lady , Him Hogarth P bnpba. Miss Diokena The scene was laid In the Eddystone Light House. Of the performance, a notloe written by Mr. Tom Tay.or next day appeared in the London Times. In this we read that "the acting of Mr. Dickens and Mr. Lemon was moBt admirable, not only worthy of professional actots, but of a kind not to be found save among the rarest talents. Aaron, a rough, rugged son of Cornwall, with the lines of misery deeply furrowed In bis face, rendered more Irritable than humble by remorse, and even locllned to bully his way through his own fears, is elaborated by Mr. Dickens with wonderful fulness of detail, so that there is not an accent, a growl, or a scowl with out its distinctive significance. In a word, It was a great Individual creation of a kind that has not been exhibited before. Jacob Dale, the bluff, honest, straightforward father of Phoebe, does not afford the same opportunity "the Time goes on to say "for refined variety, bnt his representation by Mr. Mark Lemon as a masterpiece of sturdy, tho roughly -madeMip' reality." Much praise was also bestowed npon the ladies. But the association of Miss Hogarth with these per formances gave great umbrage to her Bister, Mrs. Dickens, and was a decisive cause of the melancholy rupture between herself and her husband, which occurred the next year. - Nothing In any way dis graceful attached to either party from this rupture; but it is one of the few chapters In the great novel ist's ilfe In regard to which silence will be most scrupulously preserved by all those who most truly honor his memory. - Mr. Frothlnarham an Mr. Dickens. Yesterday Rev. Mr. Frothingham; In his church In New York, made the following allusion to Charles Dickens: Charles Dickens, whose untimely death we mourn as one of our own family, reigned In the hearts of men with a freedom which very few have been able to obtain ; a man of the world, familiar with marble ' halls, equally familiar with the haunts of poverty and vice, honored by the Crown, beloved by the poor Charles Dickens fully Indicates the Infinite rich ness oi this. He has been the great genius of the most beau til ul literature ; the soul of the beautiful was In that man he dramatized the golden rule ; he Illustrated the parables; he was an- apostle without calling himself one ; he was no preacher, yet his loving words trickled like murmuring streams through the parched meadow-lands of soclety Wbat a magioian he was I He Made us all to be God's charity children. Whose friend was not Charles Dickens? Who has not felt that that great charity of his was born of tat spirit of Jesus, who opened his - arms and said, - "Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest?" The dear man has gone, and yet be lives in so many hearts. He told us how much good there was In those In whom the world aaw none. That was the lesson for that apostle of charity for which we shall calmly bless htm and be yond that sweet Nazarlue who was his comforter. I believe as long as that Image la in the world the standard of humanity will not be lowered the stan dard of our attainment will be kept high. ' Mr. Dickens' Bad Health. We received, says the New York Liader, a week or two since, a private letter from a former contributor to tbls paper, now In London, In which he spoke of the bodily Infirmities of the novelist, and doubted whether he would live to see the full publication of his new novel; although It was understood to be completed, subject to such revision as authors always give their works when put forth In monthly parts. The letter of Mr. Dickens, which was read at the recent dinner In London over which the Prince of Wales presided, pleaded his extreme infirmities as the cause of his absence. His death was proba bably expected at no very distant day. Ills novel now going through the press bears intrinsic evidence, like the lest novel written by Sir Walter Scoit, of bodily Infirmity. - . , itlr. Dickens' Last Letter. This is the last published letter written by Mr. Dickens that we have seen: Sunday, lfithMay, 1870. My Dear Bnckstone : I send a duplicate of this note to the Haymarket, In case it should miss you out of town. For a few years I have been liable, at wholly uncertain and incalculable times, to a severe attack of neuralgia in the foot, about once in the course of a year. It began in an Injury to the finer muscles or nerves, occasioned by over-walking In the deep snow. 'When It comes I cannot stand, and can bear no covering whatever on the sensitive place. One of these seizures is upon me now. Until it leaves me I could no more walk Into St. James Hall than I could fly in the air. I hope you will preeent my duty to the Prince,- and assure his Royal Highness that nothlDg short of my being (most unfortunately) dis abled for the moment -would have prevented my attending, as trustee of the fnnd, at the dinner, and warmly expressing my poor sense of great and Ines timable service his Royal Highness renders to a most deserving Institution by so kindly commending it to the public. Faithfully yours always. Charles Dickens. THE im-SECRET-SOCIETY SOCIETY, Rather Hard a Fair naif f Christendom. The National Antl-Secret-Soclety Society is hold ing a convention, with open doors of course, in Cin cinnati. On .Saturday the. Committee on Church Discipline submitted the following report : 1. The secret societies to which this convention is opposed are essentially immoral and anti-Christian in their character, and therefore Injurious to the whole social fabric, whether they are tested by the light ol reason or the light of divine revelations. . They are, especially the oath-bound order of Free and Accepted . Masons, of heathen origin. They have their prototypes, their mysteries, and their mytagogues. their rites and their ceremo nies from tbe world without God. a. They generally Ignore the Christian religion. 4. Their prayers are offered to unknown gods, without any reference to sin, to Christ, to re demption. ' fi. They naturally desecrate the Christian Sab bath in parading through our streets with their bands of music while burying their dead. 6. They send their dead to heaven, however they may have lived or died, on earth. 7. They are insubordinate to the Church of God. 8. They are the rivals of. and substitutes for, the Chun, and woqld blotter out from the world. . They are a snare to the young, who are inveigled Into them, and made to promise or swear to secrets of which they are totally Ignorant. - 10. Aa eleemosynary institutions they are, In the main, fallacious and deceptive. In view, therefore, of these considerations, along with others that might tie mentioned, your com mittee unanimously recommend the adoption of the following resolution: . Unsolved, That membership In such secret socie ties is deserving of theUlj;tp.lne of the Church In the case of any of her own members, who, after due admonitions, persist In clinging to their fel lowship. The following substitute was submitted : Muolctd, Tiiat the Church ef God should brlrg all her power to tear against these Institutions, in what ever manner - may be best calculated to accomflish their entire overthrow. Lost. ... The original resolution was then adopted by almost a unanimous vote. MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. Fire In a Waahltn Hotel-Paals Amsac taa Hoarder Timely tteacae at Ladlea.

The fire was confined to the basement, though considerable damage to the walls above was sustained' from discoloration by smoke. The fire le thought to have been the work of an Incendiary.

After a full discussion, they issued an address to the President, Con gress, and people of the United States, in which they earnestly affirm their determination to preserve the relations of amity to the Gov ernment, place themselves squarely upon their treaties, and upon the line of progress and gene ral improvement. They oppose the Territorial Government's survey and allotment of their land, and the donation of. their lands to railroads, previous or contingent, not be cause they are enemies of improvement, bat because they see in them the loss of their homes and independence, if not extinction itself. They say if, in the lapse of time, tbe increase of the white population and the march of events have removed us from the wilderness In which we were plunged unwillingly, and placed us in the way of -our neighbors, the fault is not ours, nor do they invalidate any existing obligations. We ask nothing from the people and authorities of the United States, aside from respect and good fellowship, but what they have promised, an observance of their treaties, despite all the vicissitudes of our history and the terrible or deal of war by which we have been scourged with fire and sword, through do fault of ours but weakness and inability to sustain ourselves. We feel we are now progressing In the know ledge and improvements of arts and the customs of civilization. FROM NEW ENGLAND. i:ennectleut and the Beethoven Festival. Waterburt, June 13.

Bingham, at present Postmaster of the city, was born in the Ninth ward, and is a son of the late James Bingham, the well-known forwarding merchant. He was educated at Jefferson College, at Canonsburg. r Graduating be -commenced the study of law. In 1863 he raised a company at the college, and entered the service as a lieutenant. He was soon pro moted to a captaincy, and shortly thereafter he was appointed Judge Advocate of Hancock's , Corps. From a captaincy he gradually arose in rank, until in April, 18(55, he was breveted a Brigadier-General, and for some twelve months prior to his retirement from the army had acted as Judge Advocate of the Middle Military De partment. He was wonnded at Gettysburg, Spottsylvania, and Farmvllle, and was once taken prisoner, but escaped from the guard. In the latter part of 1866 he was appointed Chief Clerk of onr Post Office, and In the following March was made Postmaster, a position to which - he was reappointed by President Grant, having received the endorsement of the city Congres sional delegation and Senators Cameron and Scott- He has also been a member and treasurer of the Republican State Central Committee.

This occupation, how ever, became distasteful to him, and he went into business as a stock and merchandise broker for some years, abandoning that, in turn, for a more congenial calling. Mr. Walton has never held office, but for a number of years he been an active participant in our local affairs, an earnest and eealous worker in tbe cause of tbe Republican party of the city. On two occa sions be has been a candidate for the nomina tion of Receiver of Taxes, on each occasion being defeated by Mr. Peltz, the present Re ceiver, by a very small vote in the eeuveutlou.
