NOTIFICATION.-FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT.  "The following telegram, dated Calcutta, 10th February from the financial secretary to the Government of India, is published for general information : " Referring to the result of an account of subscriptions to the Five-and-a-Half per Cent. Loan, published in a Calcutta Gazetts Extraordinary of this date, and to the desire of the Government not to exceed the stipulated limit of five crores of rupees, the Honourable the President in Council has decided to close the 51 per Cent. Loan immediately at all district treasuries, and to limit the subscriptions at AI adras and Bombay, respectively, to a total of 80 (twice 40) lacks of rupees in cash, leaving the balance to be subscribed at Calcutta. These proportions have been decided upon according to the rate at which the loan has been taken up at the three Presidency towns up to this date, as far as has been ascertained. You will please to publish the above in your Official Gazette, and to report to this department, by telegraph, as soon as the amount allotted to your Presidency has been subscribed.' "Bombay Castle, 11th Feb., 1860." We were unable to do more than enclose the extra issued by us upon receipt of this document to a few of the leading home journals, but the modification was doubtless forwarded to the Secretary of State for official publication in England. The notification appeared on Saturday about two o'clock, and before four the whole amount allotted to Bombay was taken up. The event was officially notified to Calcutta on Monday, by the folloWing telegram from Mr. Secretary Ellis to Mr. Secretary Lushington s— " MONDAY, 13Tg.—Your telegram of the 10th received, and notification issued on Saturday morning. The full amount of 80 (twice 40) lacs allowed for Bombay was subscribed the same afternoon, and the subscription is closed at this Presidency." The principle which ruled the allotment seems to have been a just ono. The respective subscriptions in the three presidencies up to the issue of the notification, and the amounts consequently available for each, were as follows : Madras. Bombay. Bengal. Rs. Rs. Rs.  Amount already subscribed 63,64,000 62,64,100 2,95,56,000 Remaining valuable 16,36,000 17,35,900 44,44,000  80,00,000 80,00,000 3,40,00,000  The rush made by speculators in Bombay was not more eager than that in Calcutta and Madras, the loan being closed in all three presidencies the day the notification appeared. The stock is quoted in Bombay to-day at 21 to 21 per cent. pm. On Sunday, the 12th instant, we received the gratifying intelligence that the cable had been successfully laid between Kurrachee and Aden, and but for some interruption of the line between Alexandria and the latter port, we should now be receiving English news within five to seven days of the dispatch. The nature and locality of the interruption on the Red Sea have not yet transpired, the Ottawa with the English mail of the 3d instant, already due in Bombay, not having reached Aden on the 22d instant, when the telegram which informs us of the interruption was transmitted.  Our last issue announced the surrender of Captain Mecham's murderer by the Wuzerees of the Kabyl Khail. He was taken to the spot where the murder was committed, and there hanged.
