The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000 Ameri-
can taken for export. The market gas heavy, awl
prices of all kinds were id. per lb. lower. The
- sales comprised 5,000 American, 170 Perham and
Maranham at 50. to 7d. 200 Egyptian at sid. to
80., and 1,500 Surat at 3d. to 44d. per lb. Rail-
way Shares were depressed.
As was yesterday anticipated under this head,
the Turkish loan, has now made its appearance
. officially in the market. Late in the day yesterday
the notification, a copy of which will be found be-
low was issued by the agents, and posted at the
Stock Exchange. The subscription list is to re-
main open to-day, but there is no question that
there are already in the hands of the agents ten-
ders of subscription from capitalists, stock dealers,
and the general public, to more than double or
treble the amount required. The more particular
feature, and one of striking advantage, in this
financial operation, is the assignation of the tribute
Payable by the Paella of Egypt to the Sultan, in
sterling amount 282,0001., as a fund specially ap-
' plicable for the payment of the dividends on the
loan. The extinction of the principal at the
moderate rate stated can scarcely be a financial
difficulty with the Turkish Government, in
however an exhausted condition of its
Exchequer. The approval signified by Lord
Clarendon of this loan and its objects, although
• a satisfaction to speculators, or those who
may subscribe for investment, must not be under-
stood as committing this Government to anything
in the nature of a guarantee, either as respects in-
terest or principal. Well understood principles of
Public policy must preclude it from engaging as
part principal in the negotiation of money for the
account of foreign states. In cases where Govern-
ment should deem it the part of good policy to ex-
tend a helping hand to the exigencies of allies, that
object would be naturally effected by the more
direct course of subsidies, for raising the amount
of which, when ordinary revenue should not be
equal to supply it, recourse would be had to the
Money market, and the credit of the State pledged
for loans, which could thus be raised on far more
advantageous terms as a State debt, on the same
footing as Consols and other securities, representing
_, the domestic loans of former periods.
The terms of the present loan are considered to
be somewhat onerous for Turkey. Taking into
account the special allocation of the Egyptian tri-
bute, which constitutes what the Czar would call a
Very " material guarantee," it would seem that the
Price of 80 for a 6 per cent. stock, and that price
subject also. doubtless to a certain if not consider-
able discount in the shape of agency and other
charges was any
thing but a desirable bargain for
the Turkish' treasury. Upon that price the rate of
inteiest is equal to nearly 7 per cent. (61. 165.).
The cash actually receivable by the borrower under
this arrangement for the first two millions should
be 1,600,0001., and rateably for the second million
to be issued, but that sum will undergo probably
sume not inconsiderable reduction when subjected
to commission, and the usual expenses of exchange
operations in the remittance of the funds.
The loan has been received with all the favour
on the Stock Exchange that could be desired by
the parties who are bringing it out. From 3to 4
per cent, premium at which it ruled for the coming
out.. this morning the rates have ascended, and at
this present moment are quoted 6 to 7 per cent.

At the meeting of the Northern and Eastern
Railway Company this day the dividend for the
half-year was agreed to, as follows :—On shares of

on shares of 501. guaranteed 6 per cent. per an-

The settlement of account now on band has led
to a rather material improvement in the quotations
of public securities. It has turned out to be a
Bear account. The speculators for the fall have
oversold themselves, and find the market rare of
stock. In consequence, Consols from 93a, buyers
in the morning for money, rose to 94k, buyers, at
which rate outstanding accounts had to be balanced.
Speculators for the fall, however, would seem not
to have much faith in the permanency of the higher
rates, for there were sellers for the account now

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY).

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)

Henry Tames Hall, 35, was indicted for feloniously
setting fire to a dwelling-house, with intent to defraud
the Westminster Fire-office.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Giffard proescuted. The pri-
soner was defended by Mr. Parry.
It appeared from the statement of the learned coun-
sel for the prosecution, that the evidence against the
prisoner was entirely of a circumstantial character, and
the main facts rested upon to support the charge were
these. The prisoner carried on the business of a
coffee-shop and eating houskeeeper at 158, Fleet-
street, and his family consisted of two children
and a sister, who acted as housekeeper. It appeared
that he had been insured in the Westminster Fire-office.
for other premises previously to his taking possession of
the house in question, which was at the beginning of
the year, and he obtained a fresh policy for stock in
trade, fixtures, &c., for 8501. The fire in question broke
out about twelve o'clock at night on the 27th August
last year, and it appeared that the house was nearly
consumed before the fire could be extinguished. The
first thing that created suspicion was observing that the
fire appeared to have commenced on the landing of the
first floor, and it was observed that a great quantity of
shavings had been strewed about in different parts of the
house. The prisonerin the usual course sent in a claim for
7561.175., and enquiries were then made which resulted in
the present charge being made against the prisoner. It
appeared that for some time before the fire he had removed
a quantity of property from the house in Fleet-street to a
lodging he had taken at Islington, and shortly before fire he
had given out that he had sold the business. On the Satur-
day before the fire happened it appeared that the prisoner
removed the children and his sister from the house in
Fleet-street to the lodging at Islington ; and it appeared
that the former was never opened for the purposes of
business again until the fire occurred, and the prisoner
accounted for not opening the house on the Monday by
stating that it had been arranged with the new purchaser
that there should be a holiday on that day. It was shown
that the prisoner was in the house on Saturday the 25th,
at night, and it appeared that about 10 o'clock on the
night of the fire, a waiter at the Portugal Hotel, which
adjoined the prisoner's house, heard some one moving
about and he called out the prisoner's name, but re-
ceived no answer. When the prisoner was questioned
after the fire, he gave several contradictory statements as
to the period when he first heard of the fire, and on his
being asked by one of the firemen whether he had sent
in his claim to the fire office, he replied that there
was plenty of time, and that there was no use in doing
a thing and being sorry for it afterwards. It also ap-
peared that after the claim had been sent in by the pri-
soner, a surveyor was sent to make the necessary in-
quiries, and in answer to questions put by him to the
prisoner, he said that he had sold the business to a
person named Parker, who was to give him 3001. for it;
and on his being asked who this Mr. Parker was, and
where he lived, be at first said that he lived at Dalston,
but that a letter woubi not reach him at that address,
and on being pressed, he promised to come again ano-
ther day and bring an address, and also a copy of the
agreement that had been entered into between them.
The man did so, however, but it appeared that he aban-
doned the claim he had made upon the company and
absconded. The learned counsel then called his wit-
nesses. The trial was proceeding when we went to
press.

LYCEUM THEATRE.—The enterprising Mr. Allcroft
has engaged, Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves for three
" farewell' performances prior to " their departure
from London for the present season," and the first of
them took place last night. The Lyceum Theatre was
filled to the ceiling to witness the Bohemian Girl—an
opera that has taken a peculiar hold of the unsophisti-
cated public, and which is seldom revived without meet-
ing with considerable patronage. The audience last night
was of the old sort. Enthusiasm of the warmest kind pre-
vailed, and Mr. Sims Reeves and his better half received
with a cordiality which betokened the strength and con-
tinuance of the popular interest. Mr. Sims Reeves was
in excellent voice, and the pretty music of this operatic
perennial fell from his lips as gracefully and pleasantly
as ever it did. In the once-famous song, ",I dreamt
that I dwelt in marble halls," Mrs. Sims Reeves was
encored with extraordinary vehemence. She, in fact,
seemed to be in as much vogue as her husband—if we
may judge by the usual tests. Mr. Weiss was the Count
Arnheirn, and Mr. Farquharson Smith the Devilshoof,
the comicalities of the latter being, we need hardly ob-
serve, relished in proportion to its extravagance. The
chorus was tolerable, and the orehestra was conducted
by Mr. J.. H. Tully. The Sonnantbula and the Lucia
di Lammermoor are announced.
