The Money Market is assuming a firmer appear-
ance, owing to an increased demand for accommo-
dation. The augmented inquiry does not arise
from the r; quirements of the mercantile community,
but is attt ihutable to the extensive payments made
on Leh lf of the New Turkish loan and the Revenue
collectior Very little business is now negotiated
in the th::st securities under 2gg per cent., and in-
creased firmness is not considered improbable. The
total amount of stock applied for in the New
Turkish Loan up to the close of business yesterday
afternoon nearly approached £24,000,000, and
extensive subEcriptions are still received at the
Bank of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co.
About £24,000 in gold was sent into the Bank
of England yesterday.
The half-yearly eividend on Turkish 6 per Cent.
Bonds of the loan of 1854 will be paid on and after
the 10th prox.
Continued quietude prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, but priees were firmly
supported. The sales were 2,500 bales.
The proprietors of the Great Luxembourg Rail-
Way Company held their meeting to-day, when it
Was stated that, after deducting from the net revenue
of the railway and canal the sum of £62,715 16s. to
meet the interest and reimbursement of the obliga-
tions, there will remain a balance of £34,036 15s.
9d. The directors proposed in consequence to de-
clare a dividend of Bf. 121 c., or 6s. 6d,, per share,
leaving a balance of £1,931 Os. 3d., which was
agreed to. Of this sum, it is proposed to apply
£1,200 to the reserve fund and the remainder to
the credit of the revenue of the current year.

During the past week there has been a large
amount of business transacted in American Securi-
ties, and prices generally have shown a decided
Improvement. Messrs. E. F. Satterthwaite and
Co. in their weekly circular, state that—" We have
had, during the past week, a very active market in
London for American securities, and considerable
transactions have taken place without any marked
variations in quotations. United States Five per
Cent. and Virginia Six per Cent. are, however,
from 3 to 1 per cent. better. Erie Shares have been
largely dealt in from 33 to 334. Erie Preferred
are in demand at an advance of 1 to 2 per cent.
The weakest stock on the list has been Illinois,
Those shares show a tendency to droop, notwith-
Standing the report for 1861 shows the concern
has been self supporting in that year. The first
three months' working of the year appears certain
to compare unfavourably with the corresponding
period of last year, but probably the opening of a
portion of the hitherto sealed Southern States may
give a different result for the remainder of this
sear. The demand for Atlantic and Great Western
Bonds continues; they close firm at 64, with few
offerin "

Business in the market for English Securities has
continued dull, and very little fluctuation has taken
'Place. There is rather a heavy tone, although the
quotations are firmer than they were early in the
4aY. Consols are now 93-'4' for money, and 931 for
the 10th proximo. The New Threes and the Re-
duced are 924- 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 16s. to 19s.

t MR. B EWICKE AT HEXHAM.—Mr. William
h"dcke, of Threepwood, whose case at the recent Nor-
Clfaberland assizes created so much interest, visited Hex-
ham on Monday. On the arrival of the train, Mr. Bewicke,
accompanied by Mrs. Lodge, alighted, and took their seats
the White Hart " fly ," when Mr. Bewicke's admirers
'4lYoked the horses, and, having attached ropes to the
amid cheers
drew it, preceded by the Hexham brass band, and
cheers and other demonstrations of delight, to the
bite Hart Inn. A little after one o'clock, Mr. Bewicke,
:seofted by a "ragged regiment" of ragamuffins, proceeded
the Alarket Place, where he delivered a lengthened
harangue, in which he recounted his woes, his late impri-
"icilt, and the shameful circumstances which led to it.
hoteler this exhibition, Mr. Bewicke marched back to his
itti, escorted, as before, by Mrs. Lodge. Mr. Bewicko
his housekeeper left the inn in Mi. Ilawkswell's fly, to
tile" the 5 30 train, the band marching down to the sta-
belt) and playing him off with a valedictory strain. The
~„ rang several merry peals at intervals during the day.
