" It hss one of the greatest merits which a fictionist can display
for attracting readers. or softening the adverse comments of a critic.
No quality no a writer is so winning as freshness. . . . It is im-
possible to read the first volume, and not be at once caught with its
sparkling FRS and racy livoliness. The author writes as If through
joyous ritnputse r,;, and turning his pen into a toy, lie amuses at once
his reader and Narseit."—The Press.
" .We have no hesitation in pronouncing' Lady Lee's Widowhood'
the' most promising debut that has been made in fiction since

TURKISH LOAN.

The negotiations for a Turkish loan were concluded
yesterday with Messrs. Rothschild. It is to be for
2,200,0001. sterling in a six 6 per cent. stock at 85, re-
deemable in 15 years.
The former Turkish loan, which was announced on the
31st of October, 1851, was for 2,000,0001. sterling, in a
6 per cent. stock at par, and was issued nominally to
the Bank of Constantinople under the guarantee of the
Government, with the stipulation that it: should be re-
imbursed in 23 years at the price of 120. This loan
rapidly went to 111 premium, but, in consequence of a
change of ministry, which led to the validity of the con-
tract being denied, the deposits were ultimately returned,
and the transaction was cancelled by an inadequate com-
pensation to the holders of between 2 and 3 per cent. At
the time of its introduction Consols were exactly at 100.
Meanwhile they have fallen 10 per cent., and the new
Turkish Joan is proposed at a reduction of 15 per cent.
Allowance, however, must be made for the 20 per cent.
premium which was to attach to the original loan at the
end of 23 years, and, taking this into account, the terms
on, the present occasion, as compared with the current
price of Console, will appear nearly similar to those
which were then given. Supposing, therefore, the pre-
mium of 11 per cent. at that time to have been warranted
the question for capitalists now to determine will be the
weight of the events that have since transpired to affect
Turkish credit, so as to prevent the present loan from
meeting the same degree of appreciation. Among these
causes, the arbitrary manner in which the contract of

1851 was set aside is undoubtedly the most prominent,
since, although the deposits were then returned in full,
with a small bonus, the subscribers were for the time
kept in such a state of doubt and apprehension as to
create a feeling the effects of which will injure her finan-
cial prestige for many years. 'With regard to the effects
of the war in increasing the risk of a loan, the opinions
will be various, Some will fear that it may impose
burdens upon Turkey from which she will with difficulty
recover, while others will view it as the commencement
of the regeneration of the empire, since the fact that, let
the course of events be what they may, Russia will never
be allowed to appropriate an inch of her territory is un-
questionable, while the influence of the Powers to whom
she must now owe her existence may be expected to in-
troduce all those elements of progress which were alone
wanting to make her one of the most prosperous nations
of Europe. Added to this there is the consideration
that the new loan, unlike the former, is contracted un-
der circumstances which must always render it popular
among every class in Turkey, and also insure for it the
moral support of the Governments of France and Eng-
land.—Times.

LITERATURE.

llints for Travellers to India, China, and Australia.

Third Edition. Grindlay and Co.

We cannot wonder at this little pamphlet having
obtained the dignity of a third edition. It is use-
ful at once in the nature of its information and iu
the manner of its arrangement. The lucidity of
the Hints may be recognised on the instant, by
a glance at what may he called its frontis-
piece. Meaning by that the excellent map
showing the several routes to India, China,
and Australia. A red line indicates the route
taken by the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's steamers—from Southampton by Gib-
raltar, by Marseilles, by Malta, by Constantinople,
by Alexandria, by Suez, by Aden, by Bombay, by
Point de Galle, round Ceylon, to Madras, to Cal-
cutta, thence between Sumatra and Singapore
northwards to Canton, or between Sumatra and
Java southwards to King George's Sound, to
Adelaide, to Melbourne, to Sydney, arriving thus
at the south-east corner of Australia. A blue line
Indicates the route of the General Screw Steam-
ship Company's steamers. A green line that of
the Austrian Lloyd's steamers. A dotted line, that
of the A. P. S. N. Company's steamers—the last-
Intentioned running from Southampton diagonally
acrcss the Atlantic and Pacific, crossing the isthmus
of the two Americas between Chagres and Panama,
and so onwards to Australia. Altogether these
"Hints" cannot fail to be welcome to "Travel-
lers."

THE FATAL COLLISION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES
RAILWAY.—With the exception of Mr. Ellison, baro-
meter maker, of Norwich, who still lies at the Bell Inn,
Thetford, suffering from injuries on the leg and chest,
in a very bad condition, the various parties hurt by the
collision on this line, who still survive, are said to be
progressing favourably, every possible care and attention
to their state being paid to them by the direction of the
company. The inquest was adjourned.
THE WESLEYA.N METHODISTS.—The recently pub-
lished census tables on public worship show that there
are in the original connexion 428 circuits in Great
Britain. There were 6,579 chapels in England and
Wales belonging to this connexion in March, 1851, con-
taining accommodation for 1,447,580 persons. The num-
ber of attendants on census Sunday was—morning,
492,744; afternoon, 383,964; and evening 667,850, in-
cluding an estimate for non-retarns.

IPSWICH-JAN. 10.

We had only a limited show of wheat. The millers
were, of course, ready buyers, and a very considerable ad-
vance was paid-4s to 5s per qr. on all qualities. We had
the largest supply of barley any market day this season
has brought out. At the commencement sellers tried for
the advance reported in Mark-lane, but the buyers declined
to comply. The trade closed very heavily, and buyers
were able to supply their wants at is per qr. decline.
Beans and peas very dear.

A rather better supply of wheat from the farmers to-
day, who, having the expectation of 100 s before them,
'ere the reverse of anxious sellers. The current prices
were 88s to 92s for runs of red to the grower, being an
advance of 5s to 6s over last week's prices. Foreign in
good demand, and low qualities of Russian and Odessa in
extensive request. For Dantzic 90s, and good Baltic red
85s, per 601bs, is paid. Barley 2s dearer during the week.
Oats is dearer, with more inquiry. Speculative inquiry
has raised the value of all descriptions of beans fully ls
per qr. ; and the same may be noted in peas. Indian corn
brought 2s more money. Linseed 2s to 3s per qr. dearer.
For rapecakes .a good inquiry at 5s per ton more money.
Witliout arrivals of bones, we raise the quotations almost
nominally 5s per ton.

DENMARK.

---
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 4.—The public mind is en-
tirely occupied with the coming war, if war there
is to be. It is entirely disbelieved by the half-
official press. The national papers view the matter
more seriously.
Of course armaments are going on. Among those
preparations which are open to all is the arming of
the " Loner Line," which will soon bristle with
cannon all6along the northern shore.
Those who advocate an armed neutrality admit
that the Scandinavian States alone are too weak,
and demand the formation of a league which shall
include also Holland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal,
&c. We doubt whether all the Scandinavian
States together would be able to gather more than
a dozen large frigates in an efficient state, with a
proportionate number of smaller vessels. But they
have a considerable fleet of gunboats, and we know
by experience that these are terrible enemies, if
well served.
The cold is very severe, and everything betokens
a long and hard winter. We need not point out
that this is a considerable item, if any demonstra-
tion should be made in the Baltic. The Russian
and Finnish harbours will probably not be free
from ice till May or June, perhaps not so early.
Private letters from Sweden exult in the possi-
bility of the duchy of Finland, which was so
shamefully seized by Russia without a declaration
of war, being restored to its northern sisters.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1854.

The combined fleets having at length entered
the Black Sea after prolonged hesitation—it re-
mains now to be seen what they will do there
towards the settlement of so many enormous diffi-
culties, difficulties affecting not only the integrity
of the Turkish empire, but the maintenance also
of the general peace of Christendom. Will they
bring matters at once to a conclusion, or are we
fated to witness the continuance by our naval offi-
cers
and seamen of that wretched system of delays,
and doubts, and palterings with a terrible danger
which has been persisted in for nearly twelve
months consecutively, in spite of all the dictates
of common sense and ordinary prudence, by our
statesmen and our diplomatists, by our adminis-
trators and our ambassadors ? Are we for ever
to be hovering round the question at issue, instead
of grappling with it valorously, promptly, and
vigorously? Are we to be pining after peace instead
ofat once boldly conquering it ? Speaking upon this
very subject, and to this very pm-pose, the great Whig
organ has just enunciated its views in language
beyond the reach of misapprehension. In an
elaborate paper relating to the Ottoman Empire,
a reviewer in the last number of the Edinburgh,
the number for the current quarter beginning
with this present month of January, speaks thus
decidedly : he says_" Every Minister of the
Crown who advises, and every Member of Par-
liament who votes, for a war with Russia, must,
if he understands the true interests of England,
be prepared to make the utmost exertions, to strike
the hardest blow, and to inflict the deepest wound
which the vast resources of this country will
permit." It is the old cry against ,ca
little war" uttered long since by the late
Duke of WELLINGTON—a cry which has now been
re-echoed by the old Whig Edinburgh. Language
could not well be more explicit or more decided
than that just now described. It tells Ministers
and Members of Parliament that they "must be
Prepared to snake the utinot exertions, to strike J

CIRCULATION OF THE MORNING PAPERS.
SUPPLEMENTS TO THE MORNING ADVERTISER.

THE extraordinary increase which has taken
place in the circulation of the "Morning Advertiser" since its
enlargement, three years ago, has been followed by so great an
influx of advertisements as to render indispensable the publication of
a series of SUPPLEMENTS after the commencement of the
approaching session. Supplements to the " Morning Advertiser will
accordingly be issued as often as the pressure of Adverti.emeats or
intelligence may render their publication requisite. To form an idea
of the increase which has taken place in the circulation of the
" Morning Advertiser," it will only be necessary to give the News-
paper Stamp Returns for 1850, and the circulation, as nearly as may
be ascertained, of the various morning papers, except one, at the
present time. In 1850 the Stamp Returns gave the following re-
sults :

MORNING ADVERTISER• • .
Daily News .
Morning Herald • • •••• • • .... •• • • ........ • . 1,139,000
Morning Chr0nie1e............ „ .......... 912,547
Morning Post •• •• . 828,000

It will be observed from this statement, that, omitting the" Times,"
the circulation of the "Morning Advertiser" was then far above that
of its morning contemporaries. Were the Stamp Returns to be given
down to the present time, the relative circulation of the" Morning
Advertiser to its four morning contemporaries—assuming that their
circulation has undergone no diminution—would be as f llows :
MORNING ADVERTISER
Daily News ....... • • .....
Morning Herald .......• • • • • .......... •
Morning Chronicle ... • . .....
Morning Post .• . •.. • 828,000

It will be seen that the present circulation of the " Morning Adver-
tiser" is more than double that of the two highest of its four contem-
poraries, and nearly treble that of one of their number. The annals
of journalism contain no instance of success at all approaching to this.
Such brilliant progress is the best compliment which could be paid to
the " Morning Advertiser's entire independence of all parties and
Governments, and its earnest and unceasing advocacy of the popular
cause,

that a commission composed of officers and engi-
neers had just left the capital, to visit different
parts of the coast, and put all the military points
in a state of defence. The country every day de-
clares itself more and more against Russian policy,
and has decided on making its neutral&ty respected
by force of arms, in the event of its being violated.

THE WRECK OF TIIE MERMAID.—The Sea, Nymph
(steamer), which arrived at Liverpool yesterday morn-
ing, brought the captain (Robinson) and crew of the
unfortunate ship Mermaid, from Liverpool to Phila-
delphia, which went ashore on the Copelands, near
Belfast, on the 7th instant. They report the vessel a
total wreck, being totally broken up, and the cargo,
which was a very valuable one, floating about in all
directions.

QUICK VOYAGE.—The Colombo, a screw-steamer,
which took out the India mail from Southampton on the
20th ult., reached Malta in about eight days, after
making a stop at Gibraltar. The distance between
Southampton and Malta is 2,132 miles. This is the
quickest voyage to Malta ever made.
