Negotiations are in progress at Paris for a new and large Turkish loan. It is supposed the amount Neill be about £12,000,000 s t er li ng , th e t o t a l con templated in the arrangemen t s w ith th e Ottoman Bank which were broken off by that establishment at the end of August last. T ex h e the expectation that Prussia will soon appear in e European markets as a borrower will certainly ' l ncrease the hopes that peace may be preserved. At the same time Turkey and Egypt will no doubt be prevented f rom coming to au open rupture th e .. ro ugh the sa me cause. They both require ad ditional financial assistance, and they are not likely to obtain it if they seek to provoke hostilities. ,The Man c h ester Exam i ner announces the failure of M essrs.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANOTHER ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A POLICE CELL.— Hannah Kete was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, disorderly, breaking a pane of glass, and also with attempting to commit suicide while iu a cell at tho Clarke's-buildings police station ; a singular cireum-tanca connected with the case being that a woman was charged at this court yesterday with attempting suicide hi the same cell. . . Police-constable Win. Corner, 50 E, said that yesterday evening, about half-past six, he was called to No. 71, Newman-street, Oxford-street, where he found the pri soner, who was drunk, making a great disturbance, and was informed that she had bioke a pane of glass. Ile took the prisoner to the station, and sometime afterwards she attempted to commit suicide. Police-constable Jacks o 1, 17 E It, said that while on duty yesterday evening at the Clark's-buildings station he hoard a groaning noise in a cell, and on going there found the prisoner lying on her back with her bonnet strings tied so tightly round her neck that she was nearly strangled, and be had to get a knife to cut them. Barnes, the gaoler, said the prisoner bad several times been charged at that ciurt with drunkenness. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. BBEAKING A HUSBAND'S Alt3l.—Elleu Hearn, a respect,- able looking woman, was charged with assaulting Ler husband and breaking his arm. Mr. John Hearn said he was an enzineer, and lived at 93, Fulham-road; last evening the prisJuer had been drinking, and when he was in bed she hit him with a boot and then threw a pitcher of water over him and broke his arm with something. Ho produced a medical certificate from the hospital. In answer to the magistrate, prosecutor said they had been married 20 years, and had no children. She often beat him when she was drunk. - Mr. Richard Allen, the landlord, proved that he broke open the room of the door, and found the complainant in a corner of the room calling out " Murder" and the prisoner hitting him with a pitcher. Mr. Selfe—Pitching into him, in fact. (Laughter.) Prisoner denied the charge, and said he hit his arm against the pitcher; he threw a pail of water over her in bed. This was denied, and Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner for eight days to see how tho prosecutor's arm got on. THAMES. MR. BULL AND HIS BEEF - Thomas Nichols, a boy aged 15 years, described as having no occupation and no home, was charged with stealing a large piece of beef, the property of Mr. Benjamin Bull, of No. 201, Jubilee-street, Stepney. The prisoner saw a joint of prime beef on the window board of Mr. Bull's shop, and he concocted a scheme to unlawfully possess the meat which presented such temp tations. Other urchins were placed at different posts on the look out, while the prisoner took up the beef and ran away with it. Mr. Bull was informed of the robbery and pursued the prisoner, who, being hotly pressed, threw away the joint, and; being considerably lightened by so doing increased his speed. Mr. Bull was, however, more than a match for him in speed, and soon overtook him. Mr. Bull returned with his beef in triumph. The prisoner, on being questioned by the magistrate, said "I owu I took that ere beef off Mr. Bull's shop board. A chap told me to take it. I have got no home. I sleep about the streets, and have done so for the last five months. My mother has been dead ten years, and my father seven years. I have been in the East London Union at Han well, and ran away. It is not two years since I was there. 1 have been jobbing about and selling heifers.* The prisoner was sentenced to six weeks imprisonment and hard labour. BOW-STREET. Three men in the employ of Mr. Grove, of Charing cross, named Williams, East, and Smith, were placed at the bar charged with stealing fish. From the evidence of Monkton, an officer in the detec tive force, it appeared that in consequence of the frequent disappearance of quantities of fish Mr. Grove felt that some in his employ were dishonest, and instructions were given to the police to watch the men. In a short time after Monkton saw Williams leave the shop on three different occasions with a parcel which he evidently wished to conceal, but on the last occasion he followed him to a coffee-shop, and after a short time he (the officer) entered, and there found the three men regaling themselves with haddocks and bloaters for breakfast. They were then taken into custody and charged with the robbery. Mr. Grove said the men knew that they had no right to take fish off the premises without making known where it was going to. He believed, however, that Smith had not acted with a felonious intent, and therefore he should be willing to retain him in his service. Smith, in answer to the magistrate, said he went to the coffeeshop to break fast, and knew nothing of the fish until it was cooked and placed upon the table. Mr. Vaughan said there were three distinct charges of robbery against Williams, and although there was nothing proved against Smi h and East the inference was that they must have known that the fish was the property of Mr. Grove. Howovet, he hoped they would act cautiously for the future. He therefore dismissed them, but Williams he should commit for trial. Two men named Lake and Bend were placed at the bar, charged with obtaining from the War Office the sum of £75 prize money duo to a soldier named Campbell by Lake falsely representing himself as that person. The solicitor said Campbell had not yet arrived from Ireland, and therefore he must ask for a remand for a few days. I Both prisoners were then remanded till Friday. PRlG't,' OF % GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and Vie short exchange on London is 251. lric. per £1 sterling. on comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .Cd iiB.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in ;Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight was 1071 per cent. on the 20th inst. At this rate there would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United tates.

The earlier accounts of the remarkable double murder in the northern suburbs of London contained several state. - ments which more complete inquiry has materially cor rected. The following facts, given by the Times, supply a more accurate narrative. Wood-green is a wide-spreading suburban village, five or six miles from town, which has sprung up, principally under the aid cf land and building Bodges, during the- last ton or fifteen years, and the dwel lings about it are principally of the cottage class. Henson lived with the murdered woman, who was not his wife, in a curious place, a little corrugated-roof house, which was nothing more than the "summer-house" of a cottage in the Truro-road, and the inhabitants of this converted summer house, Henson, the woman, and their two children, had to pass by the side of the cottage in front on egress or ingress. The plot of ground heat the cottage is not built upon, and then comes Boullds-green-read, three doors up which, at a little pretentious stucco cottage, the murdered man Boyd lived, and his " stable," a newly-built brick hut at the bottom of the garden, over-topped the summer-house home of Henson, so that, although outside there are several houses and another read between Henson's home and Boyd's, the premises of the two men, by means of the garden are actually connected. Henson is described as a married man who has lived apart from his wife for several years ; and, indeed, he has cohabited with the murdered woman for six years, in which time she has borne him two . children. He was a working carpenter, and a little more,• a sort of middleman, finding labour for a " job," and acting as a sort of foreman contractor, by which he earned,: so it is said, 43 or 44 a week, though the man ner in which the couple lived seems to give the denial to this. He is about 30 years of age, and is a tall, wiry man of nearly. 6ft. in height, and though not stout, is very strong. The woman's name was Maria Death, and her age was 26 years. She is described as a well-behaved woman, but as not particularly attractive. She was a well-educated woman, and far above the class of the man she cohabited with. Boyd is said to be abcttingman, and the generalvoice of the neighbourhood concurs in describing him as alibertine in whose hands no woman's reputation was safe. He, too, was separated from his wife. It is pretty certain, at all events, that he had been leading at Elder Lottage, a some what dissolute life. It appears that Henson left his home on Monday morning for the purpose of going to work at a place near the Old Harrow-road, which he would reach by going through Hendon and Kingsbury, and he said. that he should not be back until Wednesday. Whether he sus pected the woman, and on his detcrm:nation to find out the relationship between her and Boyd, had told her this to beguile her, or whether he had met companions with whom he stayed drinking in the neighbourhood, is not known, but he returned before mid-day, and found that she was away from home, and subsequently he learnt she had gone to London from Wood-green Station. He then took up a position on the platform, and waited, seemingly with great anxiety, for the trains from London, and all the passengers from the many trains during the afternoon he carefully noted, in order that he should see with whom the woman travelled, for it is ascertained that he was aware Boyd had gone to London, too. At a little after five o'clock he saw Boyd and the woman alight from the train together and as soon as he could reach them he knocked Boyd down, and commenced upbraiding the woman in the Littered terms, and with such threats that fur a time she not onl3 refused to go with him, but besought the pretee:ion ci those at the station. Boyd had Lenefitted by the inter ference of two wandering musicians and others, en:l having recovered himself he went home, accompanic.d . it is said, by these men. Ilensen at length persuaded the woman to go towards home v. ith him by speakin& of the children, and when they reached the corner nea Which the entrance to the cottage is he was heard to sa3 to her, "You will see, I'll be the death of you," and her reply was given in tones which betrayed her fear and solicitude, "Indeed, I never wronged you by anything ; never to this hour." The Man replied, " I will, and him too," pointing in the direction of Elder-cottage,and hissin3 the words between his teeth. This conversation was heard by the wife of a policeman who, with his family, inhali . :,s one of two houses to be let between Boyd's house and the corner of the Truro-road. The woman Death followed the man reluctantly through the narrow garden way to the cottage behind, and when she stood for a moment within a foot or two from the little window, as if still hesitating to go in, an explosion of a gun was heard withinn the cottage, and tho woman fell. Her death must have been instantaneous, for she wa . 3 shot through the heart. Henson came out of the cottage and beat the corpse about the head with the butt-end of the gun, and in rage he used the gun so violently against the corpse and the ground that he broke the stock. He kep 4 the barrel in his hand and walked down the cottage path into the read. The woman they had passed at the doom of the houso to to let he passed again, and apparently quite coolly, but, with a wild flash of his eye, he remarked, "I have clone for ere, end now for the other." Ho went into the forecourt of Boyd's cottage, and knocked at the door. There was no immediate respcn3e, and, with out more ado, he broke the obstruction down. lie cntre3 the house and looked into the little FOC 1113, and not secin3 Boyd, he his made way to the stable. Here he found Boyd with, it is said, the two men who had protected him at the station. These • men fled over the fence, and Henson, turning to Boyd, struck him down with the gun barrel at once, without a moment's parley, and then deliberately beat out his brains. He afterwards returned to his cottage by the roadway again, though ho could have stepped across the hedge from Boyd's garden to the cot tage door. By this time the woman in the corner house had aroused her husband, the policeman mentioned, Searle, No. 112 Y, who at once entered the cottage garden, where he found Henson, still with the gun in his hand leaning over the woman, occupied in putting out the fire in her dress, the shot having been fired so close, to hem as to set her gown on fire. The policeman instantly laid his hands on Henson, who shook him off, and was about to apply the barrel to further use when a police man named Neil, who is known to Henson, also entered the garden, and said, soothingly, " What's the matter, Fred?" and Henson answered, "I shot her through tho window, and I have finished him too," pointing over to the stable as he said "him" By this time intelligencd of the crime had reached tho station in the Southgate-road, and Policeman Samuel Turner, 15 Y, in company with a mounted patrol ; Egan, 446, who was at the station, immediately proceeded to the spot. In the meantime the two policemen, Neil and Searle, had disarmed the murderer, and were issuing with him from the garden when the patrol and Turner came up Turner placed a handcuff on Henson's left wrist, and attached the other " cuff " to the Stirrup of the mounted constable. Escorted by the other constables, he was brought to the station, and immediately ho reached it he drew out from his breast an open knife and cut at his throat. The constables threw themselves on him to prevent his effecting his purpose of suicide, and he as strongly cndca- voured to carry it out. The charge was taken dOwn by Inspector Grey, and when read over to the prisoner, he quietly nodded his head in assent to the charge of wilful mur der. After the prisoner had been before Mr. Shepherd and remanded on the charge of wilful murder, he was taken tc the station at Edmonton, there to await the means of con veyance to the House of Detention. While there the sullen passion which up to that time had possessed him and kept him in good spirits seemed to desert him, for ht sighed, as he observed to the constable who kept watch over him, that he little thought that time the day before what was going to happen. Presently he expressed regret that it had ha7ppened, and tried to find for himself an excuse by saying that he had been out with companions drinking in the morning. At the inquest, which was held on Tuesday afternoon, n little further information was elicited. The bodies of thr two victims were greatly mutilated. It appears that tilt murderer and the woman Death lived very happil3 together. More than one witness testified to the good con• duct of the unfortunate victim Boyd, and she had neve] been seen on terms of familiarity with him. It is quite true that she had once been a governess, and was a woman of good education. It further appeared that, owing to Henson's violence after being arrested, it was found necessary to put handcuffs upon him ; that, when he reached the police station, he asked for a glass of water ; that, to enable hint to drink, one hand was released ; and that, while the office: was putting back the glass, prisoner endeavoured to cut hi, throat, but that no material injury was inflicted.

Sri 14 LORD STANLEY ON CO-OPERATION. Lord Stanley has Nen spending a day or two amongst the working men of Liverpool. ,lit that great seaport there has been a . I ,§efiel of strikes in the building and other trades, and when, last year, the bricklYers' strike occurred, a number q the mcro intelligent unionists, not approving the strike, and yet unwil ling to sever their connection . with the union, con sulted two well-known gentlemen in the town, Mr. James Samuelson, editor of the Journal qf Science, and Mr. Joseph Boult, surieyor * of the New Liverpool Exchange, who assisted them to form a co-operative company, called ii "Inclustrial Building Company," which has met 11 marked encouragement and success, and consists of about eighty operatives from various branches of the building trade, with a working-men's directory, and Mr. Joseph Bromilow for their managing director. This establishment has had considerable success, and numerous important works have been erected by it. Finally, it was resolved to establish a trades' hall for the anions of Liverpool, of which there arc about eighty. Accordingly, the printers, painters, block makers, upholsterers, shipensiths, and bricklayers have united to found what I —anises to be a very useful institu tion, containing reading and refreshment rooms, and apart ments for the use of benefit societies. Lectures by compe tent men will be delivered during the winter. On Monday Lord Stanley visited the various works of the Builders Industrial Company, and on Tuesday he war entertained at a working men's banquet in the New Trades' Hall. After dinner the guests all adjourned to the Concert Hall, where Lord Stanley delivered an inaugural address. Adverting first to the New Trades' Hall, his lordship thoroughly approved of the main idea which actuated the working men of Liverpool in establishing it —to put an end to the inconvenient habit of holding meeting of trades societies, for whatever purpose, le public-houses. "Now, in that desire I hold that they ar thoroughly right. Ido not take an aesthetic view of these matters, either in theory or practice. I do not think, at any rate, that it is for those who are surrounded by the luxuries and comforts of life to denounce the indulgencies-- harmless when not excessive—of those who probably work harder than themselves, and certainly receive less ; but I think most people will agree with this, that business and beer•do not go well together. When they are col-lined it is more likely that more attention will he raid to the latter than to the former, and it is not desirable that meeting:. for serious purposes should be held in houses where drink is an inevitable accompaniment. Mere than this, I think that the feeling that leads any man, or any body of men to like to have a house of their own over their head is reasonable and respectable. If we are to lock at this insti tution merely in the light of a club, I believe that clubs cheap, comfortable, and orderly for working men arc among the things which our generation has found out the want of, and which the next generation, at least, will see provided in every large town." Proceeding to the more general question of trades unions, Lord Stanley freely con ceded the full right of working men to combine in joint action in matters relating to their trade. It was only by unions that men could meet their employers on equal terms. " At any rate, this latter point the parties interested have settled for themselves. They do it; they have a r:glit to do it ; and it is for experience and for the future to shess how far and to what limits they have done it wisely. Ido not think that the mere fe et, indisputable as it is, that the power cf cemLinatien has ecreetimes been used incon siderately and wante nly and to the great danger of these who have so used it is say valid arguree at against its being used at at all. Esse erience must be leught, and often bought dearly. Considering hew sheet a time Las passed ft - . the history of the smilers since cembinatien cf the em ployed against employers v.:as proldhited Ly the law of the land, I see nothing to wonder at—nothing to justify alarm for the future—in the mere feet that in the ceercise of this new power mistakes have c ceasie rally been made ; that unreasonable demands have se metimes I een put for ward, and that wasteful and ennceessery quarsels have arisen. Of these things I say they will bring their own remedy, sooner or later, though, no doubt it may be at the cost of much individual ince nye nience and fuffuing. Let me explain what I mean. If an exerbitant rate cf wages puts np the price of any article, cne of two things will happen, Either the demand for that article will diminish or it will go to foreign countries. I think I ern speak ine to an audience too well acquainted with the ideas and feelings of our time to indulge in the idle drceris that the protection which twenty-five years ago wee removed fain agriculture will be re-impesed for the benefit cf my other class. But let it he euppesed, even, that, through the operation of similar causes to these which are at work here, foreign competition does not come into play, there is still a limit fixed by economical laws—laws which man did not make and cannot alter—as to the rate of wages which can be obtained in any trade. A very small part of human outlay is absolutely cempulsory. Raise prices and you lessen demand. I know nothing more unjust, nothing mere absurd, than that indiscriminate outcry against all associations of vecrkiag-men for trade purposes which has been produced Ly the Lilies and—l must use a harsher word—the crimes which have been unhappily cc ra !flitted in one or two places and in one or two trades. I believe that acts of the kind I allude to are utterly re; ug nant to the feelings cf working-mcn as a class. If there arc two things which, more than any other, Englishmen in all ranks of life thoroughly understand and cordially sympa thise with, these two things are fair play and indi vidual freedom. And in a country like this, where public opinion governs, I will venture to say it, no institution has a chance of permanently holding its own which is even reasonably suspected of en souraging and sanctioning or tolerating interference with the free action of those who don't belong to it. The doc trine that the end sanctions the means, the theory that men are to be unlawfully coerced, to their own advantage even, has never come to gcod yet, and never will. The right to combine is undisputed, and equally so is the right of other men, if they think fit, to stand aloof from combi nation." The principle of co-operation was, Lord Stanley thought, the most natural in the world. It was human nature that a man should like to feel he is to be a gainer by any extra industry he may put forth, and that he should like to have some sense of proprietorship in the shop, or whatever it is, in which he passes his days. "It is because the system introduced of late years of co-operative industry meets that natural wish that I look forward to its exten sion with so much hopefulness. I believe it is the best, the surest remedy for that antagonism of labour and capital which we hear so much talked of, and which to a certain extent no doubt exists ; for it is not in any way necessary to successful co-operation that the capitalist should be turned out of the concern. The very best instances of its working, in my belief, are those where the men em ployed hold a certain number of shares in the undertaking, the rest being held by the owner, But questions of this kind—questions of detail—will settle themselves better with the help of time than we can settle them. The one that seems to me desirable is that, no matter by what par ticular agency or mechanism the men who give their labour to 'the concern shall to some extent. share in the profit that it makes. No doubt that parti cipation is not to them an unmixed gain. There are losses as well as gains, bad times as well as good times ; but the very fact that these vicissitudes occur will make the men who share in them understand and feel better than they ever did before the responsi bilities and the difficulties of the employer, and if, as is quite possible, many having felt its difficulties, prefer the certainty and security of fixed wages, they will, at least, have had their choice between the two systems, and will only have themselves to blame if they are not satisfied. Now, I am well aware that such a state of things as I have pointed out is one which cannot be brought about in a day. It is quite probable that there are some trades, some kinds of businesses, in which it cannot be brought about at all ; but it seems to me that it is in that direction that the efforts of the best workers and the ideas of the best thinkers are tending, and we are not to disheartened by a few failures, or disappointed because we do not at once hit on the best way of doing what has never been done before. That, gentlemen, is, in a few words, the conclusion I form. Hope for the future, patience for the present, respect for individual freedom, and nothing asked from the State except neutrality and fair play. You may believe me when I say your own experience will tell you that to the wealthier part of the community the condition of the working classes is no matter of indifference. The days of mere apathy and neglect, if they ever existed, are gone. They have trusted you, the workers, with the practical control, through your votes, of the government of England. Larger authority has not often been conferred on any set of men in any country. You are now on your trial, and as you use that power patriotically or selfishly, prudently or recklessly—for what seems the immediate and exclusive benefit of Cite nation as a whole—according to the decision that you shall have come to, will the future destinies of England be prosperous or the reverse." The address throughout was frequently interrupted by the loud applause of the working men, and Lord Stanley sat down amid great cheering. Resolutions to the effect that the hall deserved the support of men and masters were then passed, and a pleasant evening terminated. sioaers of I ncome T ux were engage( ' " „n SERIOUS CHARGES.—The IlirtninghP7,l ecmmis- Vg atil l 3 a number of seri , : Tuesday in hives - s charges made against Mr. Cave, the colle,a --1 J r for Birmingham.

KELLY. -AP.- The, following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday cycning :-- Mr. Langln in, the deputy coroner for West minster, held an iLquest at the King's College liosFital this evening ou the bcdy of the man El ward Martin, supposed to be the Fenian " Colonel Kelly," who met death from injuries recei% ed. by the overturning of a hackney cab in which he was riding on the evening of Wednesday last. The jury having viewed the body, the first wit ness called was Mr. Mitchell 3utchtr, of No. 2, Vine-court, Whitechapel-road, shoemaker, said he had known the deceased for over ,liree years, his name is E I ward Martin, and lie lived in the same house as he (witness) did, lie had done so for over three years. He was by trade a compositor and reader at the Queen's printers at Dalston, and was about twenty-eight years of age. Ile first came to live in Vine-court in the year 1866 He then stopped until the end of the year, and then he went away for a short time. From that time he lived at Dalston, but he always kept calling to see him. He was on very familiar and friendly terms with deceased. Ile had not the least doubt'sbout the body he had seen being that of Edward Martin. He never noticed anything about his mouth. He knew he always wore a beard. He last saw him alive on Wednesday evening about nine o'clock. He had never, for the last two years that he had been acquainted with him, known him to have been absent from London. He had comparatively few persons call to see him during the time he had been acquainted with him. lie had not the smallest doubt whatever that the body the jury had seen was that of Martin. The longest time he had ever known him absent from Vine-court was a fortnight, and that would be dating from 1866 down to the present time. Ile never knew him to receive letters by any other name than Martin. Mr. David Owen, overseer in the Queen's Print ing Office, Shaklewell, said he had seen the body of the deceased, and he had a strong conviction, in deed he had no doubt, that it was that of Edward Martin. He (Martin) had been employed in the office two years and eight months. He was en gaged at the latter end of January, 1867, and he remained with them until last Wednesday evening. He was first engaged as a compositor, but in March, 1867, he was appointed " reader." Coroner—Did he, during the time he was engaged by your firm, leave it for any length of time ? Witness—No; excepting the few days' holiday at Easter and Christmas. Coroner—Have you any doubt about the de ceased being the person you speak of. Witness—No, sir, I have not the least doubt about it. The witness then stated that he had never known the deceased express any extreme political opinions, and that he had always looked upon the deceased as a very quiet man, and very attentive to business. He did not know where he resided until the last witness called upon him last Friday. [The effect of this witness's evidence was to prove most conclusively that the deceased could not have been the man Kelly, as at the time of the outrage at Manchester, October, 1867, he (Martin) was engaged in the fulfilment of his duties at the print ing office in Shacklewell.] Hubert Macdonald said he had seen the body of deceased, and he had no doubt about its being Martin ; he (witness) had lodged in the same house with him in Vine-court. He was in the deceased's company on Wednesday night until very shortly before the accident occurred. He was in the cab with the deceased at the time of the accident. They had come from Whitechapel, and were going to: Butler's, in Wyld-street. The deceased was looking out of the window of the cab telling the cabman he was not going right, when the cab turned over, and Martin was picked up senseless and conveyed to the hospital. After some further evidence the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. lIIARKE2 8-11118 DJI. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Oct. s.—Sales prcbably 10,000 bales. The market quiet, THE IIIGII TIDE. This afternoon at 2.30 the tide, which was then at its highest point, was over nine inches below the highest of the morning tide.
