TU.RKISH LOAN.

The negotiations for a Turkish loan were concluded
yesterday with Messrs. Rothschild. It is to be for
2,200,000/. 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 11.1 premium, but, in consequence of a
change of ministry, which led to the validity of the
con-
tractbeing 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 loan 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-
'and.—Times.

masting sheers ; her masts have been lifted and landed
for inspection, preparatory to her being brought forward
for immediate commission.

The Siren, 16-gun sloop' has been taken into No. 3
dry-dock, fbr survey of hull and fitment for commission.
Frederick P. Child, master, promoted from her
Majesty's screw steam troop-ship (iron) Vulcan, has this
day taken up his commission and joined the Driver, 6
guns, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, commander the Hon. A.
Cochrane.
By a letter from Copenhagen, dated the 14th of this
month, the Miranda, 14 guns, screw steam-ship, Capt.
E. M. Lyons, was then riding in the outertroads, taking
in a supply of coals preparatory to her leaving that port
under sealed orders.
Three boatswains of the third class have been ordered
to join the Driver, to do quarterdeck duty in lieu of
mates. The crew of this sloop are daily exercised at the
great guns and cutlasses ; many of them being old men-
of-war's-men, are quite up to their exercise in every
respect. A part of the crew who have been draughted
from the Waterloo have this day proceeded to Chatham,
under charge of Lieutenant Johnstone, to receive the
pay due to them.

- The Hannibal, 91 guns, new screw steam-ship, is
ordered here from Woolwich, to be masted, after which
she is to proceed to Chatham to be fitted and rigged,
for immediate commission ; she will then return here to
take in her armament, &c.

The Royal Albert, 120 guns, new screw steam-ship;
now ready for being launched at Woolwich, is ordered
to be sent down here immediately she is launched, her
rigging, sails, &c., being already here for her on her ar-
rival. She is to be commissioned as soon as she can be
reported ready for the pendant.
Assistant-Surgeon R. M. W. L. Gordon, M.D., has
taken up his commission, and joined the Majestic, 80
guns, new screw steam-ship, Captain Jaws Hope.

SUNDERLAND, MARCH 21.

Mr. E. H. Caher, Commander, RN., arrived here on
Saturday night, for the purpose of procuring pilots to
join the Baltic fleet. Six captains have already been en-
gaged, and, as they have hitherto been in the command
of ships regularly trading to the Baltic, their services
will doubtless be of the most efficient character. Their
pay is to be 15s. per day, all their necessary expenses
defrayed, and they will mess with the petty officers.

SWEDEN.

The Frankfort Post Uazette learns from its cor-
respondent that the excitement of the Swedes is
increasing. The King himsolf is decidedly for the
strictest maintenance of the neutrality, while the
Crown Prince, on the other hand, is regarded as the
head of the anti-Russian war party. The people desire
war. It is expected that Russia will not recognise
the neutrality of Sweden, and every Swede is de-
lighted at it. Gothland will be nosy garrisoned
by 10,000 men, iu a4ditrion to which two entrenched
camps—one to the north of Stockholm, the other
near Carlscrona—will be constructed.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHGEA,
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
1 u relation to the Treatment and Cure of the Impuissant and Sexual
Hypochondriacs,
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

To whichiW;aded, an en SEXUAL DEBILITY, by the

Editor.

"Dr. l'lckford is known to Engllsitreaders by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the nom-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not bo the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which It may be in his !lower to correct."
--London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa-
ihi sers,'and • Medical Friends,'aro mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
=ad and its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com-
pliant of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
to raved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize--
much rooney......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
mpirical system of treating Spermatorrhasa, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."-51edical Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE RAJAH OF NAGPOOR.

Mr. SULLIVAN, presuming that the intelligence re.
ceived by the last mail was correct, that the company's
troops were being marched upon the territories of the
Rajah of Nagpoor with a view to their annexation, as
in the case of the Rajah of Sattara, cited treaties with
the late Rajah of Nagpoor to prove that the company
rocognised his right to adopt a successor, and that upon
the recent death of that prince, the present rajah right-
fully succeeded, though his rights had not been recog-
nised by the company ; and concluded by asking if the
court could give any positive information on the subject.
The CnatioraN replied in the negative. The hon.
proprietor seemed to know a great deal more about it
than he did. (A laugh.)
Mr. PRINCEPS (a director) suggested that the march•
ing of the troops might not be with the view to annexa-
tion, but with the purpose of protecting the territory,
pending the disputed adoption by the late rajah of a suc-
cessor.

STRAND THEATRE.

The performances during the week at this pretty little
theatre have been drawing very crowded audiences, and
this is not to be wondered at, as the " bills of the play"
Present a complete war demonstration. What could more
tempt the curious than pieces having such titles as the
two following—Russian Tyranny, or the Fatal Stoi nt,
and the Blue Jackets of Old England ? To such attrac-
tive pieces are added the Irish farce of Shooting the
Moon, one of Cooper's best, and the capital burlesque on
the orsican Brothers, yclept the Corkonian Brothers,
in which Mr. G. Hodson represents the übiquitous hero
Most amusingly. The second piece, Blue Jackets, seems
to be a complete favourite, and it deserves that distinc-
tion, as great care has been bestowed on the " mount-
;rig," and the principal characters are capitally supported
by Miss G. Hodson, Miss Wilmot, an improving actress,
and Mr. Herbert. Throughout the piece a variety of
Pretty ballads are sung by the two ladies, and in the
Principal scene, the quarter-deck of the Bombshell, to
heighten the effect, and to prove that nothing should be
Wanting on the part of the active lessee, Mr. Allcroft,
he himself donned duck trousers and a check shirt, and
sang two songs, " The Best of All, Good Company,"
and the never-dying " Bay of Biscay,"i in such excel-
lent style as to secure a hearty and unanimous encore—
an encore, we must say, richly deserved. The house
'was very fully and fashionably attended.

It has one of the greatest merits which a fictionist can display
for attracting readers or softening the adverse comments of a critic.
No quality .n 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 ease and racy liveliness. The author writes as if through
joyous impulse ; and turning his pen into a toy, he amuses at once
his reader and himself.''—The Press.
" We have no hesitation in pronouncing' Lady Lee's Widowhood'
the most promising debut that has been made in fiction since
Bulwer surprised the word with ` Pelham,' or Vivian Grey made
Disraeli famous."—The Critic.

THE SLIGO ELECTION COMMITTEE.

This committee met again yesterday ; Sir Francis
Baring in the chair.
Henry Simpson, the party charged with bribing Alex-
ander Salter with 251. to vote for Sadleir, was called,
and, though he denied the statement of Slater that he
had given him any money to vote, he declined answering
the question whether or not he had given Slater any
money at all. He also denied that he had in any way,
directly or indirectly, acted as the agent of Sadleir at the
election.

The committee, towards the close of the day, came to
the following decision :
"That John Sadlier, Esq., was duly returned a member
for the borough of Sligo.

"That Alexander Slater was bribed by Henry Simpson
with the sum of 251. to refrain from giving his vote to Mr.
Somers at the last election for the borough of Sligo, which
sum he afterwards gave up.
" That James Kerr was bribed, through his wife, by
Henry Simpson with 25/. to vote for Mr. Sadleir or not to
vote at all at the last election, which sum he afterwards
returned.
" That Samuel Gillmoro was bribed with 30/. by Henry
Owen O'Connor, since deceased, to refrain from giving his
vote to Mr. Somers at the last election.
" That it was not proved that the aforesaid acts of bribery
were committed with the knowledge or consent of the said
John Sadleir or his agents"

THE FAERINGDON-STREET EXTENSION. The City
Improvements Committee are proceeding to obtain pos-
session of the property along the line of the proposed
street as fast as the necessary arrangements with the
owners and occupiers can be made, and four houses of
the Licensed Victuallers—the Horse and Groom (Turn-
mill-street, the Bull's Head (Peter-street), the White
Horse (Ray-street), and the Green Man and Still (Cop-
pice-row, Clerkenwell), together with a large number of
other houses, have just come into the possession of the
committee, the fittings and building materials of which
will shortly be disposed of, in order to clear the ground
for the formation of the new street.
SINKING OF A VESSEL AT SOUTHWARK-BRIDGE.--Y 8"
terday morning a large-sailing vessel, named the Phoenix,
Captain Mole, having upwards of 60 tons of coal on
board, broke from her moorings off Bankside, and drift-
ing towards Southwark-bridge, struck the pier near the
steamboat dumby, and instantly went down in 20 feet of
water. Assistance put off from the floating steam fire-
engine, and the lives of the crew, who were struggling
t in the water, were saved.
