THE following additions and corrections arrived while the last sheet was in the press, and consequently too late to be inserted in their proper places: Page 171. Ciceroni. Giovanni Destuniano is recommended as an active, intelligent, and honest cicerone for Constantinople. His charge is a Spanish pillar dollar (25 piastres) a day. He may be heard of at Misseri's Hotel. J. F. 174. The Sultan. The Sultan's barge is now propelled by 28 oars. The finest spectacle in Constantinople is to see him go to the Mosque by water. He generally enters the Mosque at noon precisely every Friday. The Mosque which he attends is not known before 10 A. M. of the same day, so that travellers should seek for the earliest information on that subject. 175. The Custom-house for European goods is at Galata, for Asiatic goods at Stamboul. The best landing-place for Franks in the harbour is Tophané, as horses can there be procured at all hours of the day for mounting the steep hill to Pera. The price, 3 piastres. 196. Suleimanye. Some of the win dows in this mosque are of the richest stained glass, said to have come from Persia, and to have been originally studded with precious stones. The 4 great columns in the interior are of porphyry. 201. Burnt Column. This is now ascertained to be undoubtedly of porphyry. It has been enclosed in a stone guard-house to prevent its further injury by fire. 204. At Bazar. The Horse Bazar was totally destroyed by fire on the night of the 19th Sept. last (1844), with no less than 300 shops and stables, and about 150 houses. Page 206. Cemeteries. A cap of mushroom shape distinguishes the tombs of unmarried females; those of married women bear the rose-branch. 208. Bosphorus. A steamer starts every day, except Sundays, for Therapia and Buyukderé, about 3 P. M., and returns from the latter at 7 A. M.; price, 12 piastres each for first class places. Another steamer starts daily at the same hour for the Princes' Island. 209. Barbarossa's Tomb. The building known as the monument of Barbarossa is easily recognised by the colossal cipher in black painted on the white walls. 210. Beschiktasche, the new and splen did palace built here by Mahmoud, the last sultan, deserves notice. The pillars and substructure are of marble, while the upper stories are of wood only; but the effect at a little distance is very grand. 214. Buyukderé. There are now 2 hotels here, but they are both very dear, and in the summer season rooms should be previously ordered, as they are much crowded. Aspropotamo, 259. Assos, 285. Astros 148. ATHENS, 52.
