Constantinople : and the scenery of the seven churches of Asia Minor . as accomplished by the very means taken to defeat it; and the Turks, in memory ofit, call the castle Kiz Koulasi, or the Maidens Tower. MOSQUE OF SHAH-ZA-DEH DJAMES1. This mosque was erected on the following occasion. The fame of Soliman the Mag-nificent was stained by the murder of two of his sons, Mustapha and Selim, by his ownorders. When in an interval of peace, he directed his attention to beautify the city, anderected the splendid edifice which bears his name: he also ordered one to be built in1544, to the memory of his murdered son Mustapha, and as a mausoleum for hisremains. Thence it was named Shah-za-deh Djamesi, the mosque of the kings son. The area of this mosque, like that of many others, is open to the public, and a mart,where fruit and various articles are sold. Our illustration represents a scene amongthe groups of persons, of frequent occurrence—a Turkish functionary flogging a Greekfruiterer for false weights, while the rest look on and enjoy the chastisement he is. \ w mi 1 LIS
