The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 15,000 bales, of which 4,oooAmerican and
500 Surat were taken on speculation. The market
closed with animation ; and, as compared with Friday's
rates, prices of all kinds were extreme, and in some
cases American were it per lb higher per higher.
The sales comprised 12,000 American; 1,000 Pernam,
and Maranhatn, at 614 to 74d ; 500 Bahia, at qd to
bid ; 800 Egyptian, at 61d to 9d ; and 1,200 Surat,
at 4d to sjd per lb. Railway shares were firmer.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 39s 7d
per qr., and the last week's sales were 114,138 qrs.
The Indigo auctions have been brought to a close,
and the report furnished by Messrs. 11. W. Jewes-
bury and Co., after giving the quantity 20,958, pro-
ceeds as follows :

"Soon after the close of the last July sale' a fair des
mend arose for Indigo both for export and home use,
and prices were firm at Sale's rates; which continued
until the arrival of information by the Indian Mail, with
dates from Calcutta to August 6th, stating that consi-
derable damage had been (lone to the new crop by very
heavy rain and inundation ; this produced a speculative
demand in our market, end prices rapidly advanced for
good Bengal qualities, to about 9d per lb above previous
rates, et which rise a considerable business was done,
there being an impression that the advance would be
more than realizal at the sale just concluded. This how-
ever has not been the case, and the trial of a few parcels
on the first day's sale at Is. per lb advance, but which
were obliged to be withdrawn, proved that purchasers
were not prepared to pay so heavy an advance, but at
about Si to 9d advance there was a disposition to pur-
chase; and as the sale progressed this rate was established
and maintained, excepting for a few perfect and very de-
sirable parcels, which sold somewhat higher, and for
some detective and inferior qualities, which sold rather
lower. Kurpah has been in good demand at from 4d
to 8d per lb. advance, and Madras at 6d to 8d per lb
advance. The great rise in value has materially checked
business, and many orders both hemp and foreign have
been countermanded; importers throughout gave strong
support by withdrawing large parcels, but were firmer
ie their demands since the arrival of the Indian Mail on
Friday last, alter which there was much more animation
in the biddings at previous rates. Of the quantity
brought forward, it is estimated that 4,514 are bought
in, 11,172 withdrawn, and 5,272 sold, to which may be
added about 1,000 of the bought-in and withdrawn;
making the total quantity sold, say 6,200 chests, of which
4,000 chests aro for export, and 2,200 for home use and
re-sale. The following are the quotations, as compared
with the last July sale:—

The English Stock Market which closed very
heavily yesterday, has not yet recovered, sales being
made for money, and the quotations have receded to
1001 +, after being 100+ There is scarcely any
speculation .going on, but the dealers are rather
against the market on account of the proximate ses-
sion of the Legislature, and the state of affairs on
the continent, now tranquil, it is true, but never
absolutely safe. The host of new companies and
loans is likewise against Consols, as there are heavy
calls and instalments shortly to be met. Bank Stock

The explanations offered of the Turkish Loan affair
are considered very un!atisfactory up to this time;
but the high price from Paris, 71 to 8 premium,
keeps up the price. The original " firman" has evi-
dently been departed from, both as to the amount
borrowed and the time allowed for its redemption ;
but if the Government afterwards acquiesced, it can-
not now repudiate the bargain. The prices have been
41d to bid premium. Spanish New Deferred are 25H.

TIM TURKISH LOAN.—Turkish scrip has expe-
rienced a further depression. The Sultan has refused to
ratify the loan, which refusal is supposed to be the result
of a deeply laid intrigue on the part of the neighbouring
Powers, who are indisposed to allow Turkey to come into
independent action with France and England. A departure
is understood to have been made from the original instruc-
tions for the loan, inasmuch as the amount contracted for
was 2,000,0001. instead of 1,600,000/.7 and the period of re-
payment was spread over 23 years, instead of 10 years; but
these changes are represented to have been explained and
sanctioned, the Government, in the full knowledge of all that
had been done, having actually received already 100,0001.
of the proceeds. Under these circumstances, according to
advices from Paris, the French Minister has insisted upon
the necessity that the loan should be ratified. The transac-
tions in the official list yesterday were at 41,
4, and 4,
and after regular hours the quotation was 4 f to a premium.

Thomas's Hospital, and the Royal Exchange. He originally
obtained a shilling each for theni, but of late years he sold
them at a penny each, which reduced him and his family to
