TURKEY.

Prom 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 Callimaki,
had acted precipitately by concluding the affair pre-
vious to is 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
51 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 the Government were

not in such a sad condition as to require such an ex-
pedient.
The Armenian bankers have scraped together
400,0001., and the Turkish Ministers about 250,000/.
These sums suffice to relieve the exigencies of the
moment.

ALLEGED DEATH FROM HOMOEOPATHY.

Yesterday, Mr. Wskley, accompanied
.by Mr. Brent,
his deputy, held at the Hope and Anchor, Gloucester-
place, Bedford New Town, an inquest of five hours'
duration on this late Mrs. Margaret Sedgewick, aged
60, whose death was attributed to homeopathic 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 Friday morn-
ing, when she died. She was sensible within a few mo-
ments of death,

Mr. Samuel aedgwick, deceased's husband, said, that
on. Sunday fortnight deceased was- taken ill, when he
gave her two antibilious pills. She wai much worse on
the following Tuesday, and at her request, he called on
Mr. David Griffith Jones, the homoeopathist, who said
that she suffered nut 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 homcea-
paihy, sent Dr. M'Clowell, her own physician, to attend
her mother, and he told him that deceased was rapidly
oinking, and that unless she had other treatment she
would assurediy die. Witness told that to Mr. Jones,
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 forertuatier of others,
and the droray had set in. Whereupon witnetorresolved to

old practice." Accordingly he senrcor Mt: M'Clowell and
Dr. Baley, and also engaged anew nurse.
Mr. A. C. M'Clowell, surgeon, ..29, Harley-street,
said that on Sunday week he visited deceased at her
daughter's request. He believed that he had Certified
correctly, end that death resulted from inflammation of
the lungs and peritoneum. And he was also of opinion
that death was caused by the neglect of the homoeopa-
thists and the nullity of the medicines.
Mr. Wakley summed up at great length.
