THE TURKISH LOAN.

The novelty of a Turkish loan has naturally excited
no small degree of interest in not only monetary but po.
litical circles. With the world pecuniary the natural
inquiry is as to the securities for payment of interest
pkonhorion
and redemption of the principal of the loan which Tur-
key hai to offer; the world political and economical
may further be disposed to speculate as to the causes

wise than to the profit of the Treasury
tage of the people. With the present paucity of infor-
mation on these points it may not be said in what parti-
cular direction it is proposed to carry out any of the
improvements suggested, but one fact must be obvious—.
as a truism confessed among practical statesmen—thst
the reforms and improvements most indispensable in
state cannot be carried on without money in hand, de-
rived from some new and extraordinary source, to coun-
terbalance the sacrifices to be submitted to in the pre.
parations for a career of progress. However opinion
may differ about the fiscal and economical policy of the
late Sir Robert Peel, it will not be denied that, prelimi-
nary to the abandonment of one source of revenue by
fiscal or other changes, he was careful to prepare be-
forehand amply against a certain loss to be incurred by
a provision equal to ready money, and by ready money,
to cover that loss and more. The property and income-
tax comes in point, with issues of Exchequer-bills for
landed improvements besides, that is, public loans in an-
other shape.
The financial resources of Turkey to meet the new
financial phase of a foreign debt, which are the special
point of concern with those who carry the money bags,
and are anxious after more profitable openings for invest-
ment than Consols at par, and discounts of safe paper at
Li or 2 per cent., are, so far as officially, somewhat of a
,sated book; for as affairs are understood in that em-
pire, the state of revenue and expenditure is held not to
concern the public at large, whilst, truth to say, the
public appear to be contemptuously content to remain in
igneranee of what su nearly concerns them, and is corn-.
oratively so freely communicated to the serfs of Russia.
Fortunately the march of intelligence can pierce by per-
severance through ',tone walls, even the marble walls of
the Seraglio. Al. Unicini, long a resident, and an en-
lightened mercantile observer in Turkey. devoted much
time and careful attention to an examination of Lbe
&cal, momentary, and commercial systems of Turkey,
aided in the labour by the influence and appliances of
foreign diplomacy, the results of which he made
know❑ in come admirable letters published in the
French Moniteur last year. His statements may be re-
garded theref .re as semi-official, but must be taken
withal with such measure of allowance as is usually ac-
corded to that degree of authority. The following tabular
statement of Turkish finance will not be found to vary
in totalities with that publiahed in a morning paper, and
generally understood to have been supplied by the agents
a. contractors for the loan. There can be no question
that it was derived substantially from the authority
already cited for that which follows, and it was fairly
acknowledged, indeed, that to exact cfficial authority it
made no pretence. The difference to be noted between the
two is, that we are not indebted for figures and facts to
the parties, highly respectable as they are, interested in
the loan, but simply and independently to our own in-
dustry and researches. The facts have, indeed, been
some time in our possession. Revenue and expenditure
thus balance according to the authority quoted:—

Turkish Government has a small internal debt, scarcely
meriting remark.

In Warsaw, on the 29th, there were 79 new cases
of cholera, of which 36 were fatal ; 513 still remained
under treatment. Two of the most distinguished
names in Polish literature bad fallen victims to the
disease, Adrian Krzyzanowski and Felix Beatkowski,
both Professors in the University of Warsaw. Since
the appearance of the epidemic it was supposed that
more than 5,000 parsons had died in the hospitals.
To convey the dead to the burial-grounds every
kind of vehicle was put in requisition—carts, wag-
gons, and britzskas. Parties of sappers were ordered
to the Powonzker churchyard and the Jewish burial-
ground to dig the graves. The pest has raged with
peculiar severity among the Jews. In their burial-
place, says one account, it was frightful to see the
number of new made graves ; in the night between
the 21st and 22d ult. alone 162 corpses were buried ;
in those two days altogether 350 died. As on the
Sabbath no Jewish burial can take place all were
deferred till the night ; but on the Sunday morning
80 bodies still remained unburied, and more
were constantly being brought to the ground.
The help of the military was therefore called
in, and the interments were compelled to be
made without ceremony. The Jewish population
exclaimed against this profanation of their
religion, and to prevent it men of all ranks volun-
teered fur the labour. They said that, since the
earliest ages, each corpse had been washed end buried
in a separate grave, and they would not allow the
ceremony to be omitted, or that all the corpses should
be thrown into a common trench. By the voluntary
aid thus afforded by people of all conditions without
Of rank or wealth,
distinction the required forms were
observed, and the Jews state that all of their faith
have had a separate grave. In 15 days 1,662 Jews
were swept away by the disease. Private accounts
state that the deaths have exceeded the number stated
in the official reports.

BURSTING OF A RAILWAY ENGINE.
A serious accident, but happily unattended with
fatal consequences, occurred at the Lenton Junction,
near Nottingham, on the Midland .Itailway, early on
Saturday morning. The seven o'clock train from
Codnor-park, heavily lien with 1 assengers, was
passing at the rate of about thirty miles an hour from
the Erewash to the Nottingham ,and Derby line, when
a slight explosion was heard, and suddenly the train
