TURKEY.

From the justificative reason given by the Divan
for rejecting the transaction of the Turkish loan, it
would appear that M. Couturier, the agent of the
Bank of. Constantinople, and the Prince Cnllimaki,
had acted precipitately by concluding the affair pre-
vious to its being ratified by the Sultan. The minis-
ters are unanimous in opinion that the 20 per cent.
premium is an imposition ; other parties having come
forward who offer, 2,3, or even 5,000,000 sterling at
5} per cent., and without premium.
The Sultan had sent an immense quantity of plate
and jewellery to the Mint. They have been returned
to him, accompanied by a written statement that the
financial embarrassments of tho Government were
not in such a sad condition as to require such an ex-

peciient.
The Armenian bankers have scraped toge'her
400,0001., and the Turkish Ministers about 250,0001.
'These sums suffice to relieve the exigencies of the
moment.

ALLEGED DEATH FROM HOMCEOPATHY.

Yesterday, Mr. Wakley, accompanied by Mr. Bren
his deputy, held at the Hepa and Anchor, Gloucester-
place, Bedford Now Town, an inquest of five hours
duration on the late Mrs. Margaret Sedgewick, aged
60, whose death was attributed to homcepathic treat-
ment. The inquest-room was crowded by medical men,
parochial authorities, and friends of the deceased, who
took the deepest interest in the inquiry.
Maria Cox, a nurse, deposed, that she attended de-
ceased from the previous Tuesday until Friday, when
she died. She gradually got worse until F.riday. morn-
ing, when she died. She was sensible within a few mo-
ments of death,
Mr. Samuel Sedgwick, deceased's husband, said, that
on Sunday fortnight deceased was taken ill, when ho
gave her two antibilious pills. She was much worse on
the following Tuesday, and at her request he called on
Mr. David Griffith Jones, the homoeopathist, who said
that she suffered not from stoppage of the bowels, but
from inflammation of the lungs. At the time she suffered
from pain in the stomach and difficulty of breathing.
Sunday week her daughter, who had no faith in houccea-
pathy, sent lir. M'Clowell, her own physician, to attend
her mother, and he told him that deceased was rapidly
sinking, and that unless she had other treatment she
would assuredly die. Witness told that to Mr. Junes,
requesting him to have a consultation with one of " the
old practice." Mr. Jones declined the proposal, saying
" they will doctor her to death." Dr. Epps was then
sent for, and he held a consultation with Mr. Jones, on
Monday. After which they declared it a hopeless case,
and that deceased's complaint was a forerunner of others,
and the dropsy had set in. Whereupon witness resolved to
get rid of the homeepathic treatment, and revert to " the
old practice." Accordingly he sent for Mr. M'Clowell and
Dr. Baley, and also engaged a new nurse.
