Advices from Vienna state the arrangements for the issue of bonds for the construction of the net work of railways in European Turkey to be nearly complete. It is intended to issue two kinds of bonds. The first, based upon a guarantee from the Lombardo-Venetian Railway Company, is to consist of 600,000 lottery bonds of 100 florins each, with lottery pokes after the manner of the Austrian Credit Lottery Bonds. They are to be put forth by the Anglo-Austrian Bank at 871 florins per bond, with instalments spread over two years. The second issue is to be for a nominal amount of francs, 264,000,000 f. in 650,000 bonds of 400 f. each, bear ing 12f. interest per annum, and having four draw ings annually, at each of which there are to be two prizes of 00,000 f. and two prizes of 200,000 f. The bonds are to be absolutely guaranteed by the Tur kish Government, in a form similar to that of the existing Russian Railway Bonds. The issue price is stated as 172 f. 10c. per bond. It will be seen by the nature of the intended securities that they can be issued only on the Continent.

Mr. Paget addressed Mr. George and Mr. Mumford, chief constables of the London and St. Katherine Dock Com poles own police, and said he was much obliged to them for their attendance, and wished to call their attention to the number of suicides and attempted suicides at the Old Gravel-lane bridges over the dock. The attempted sui cides only came before him and his colleague, and the method adopted was to remand the offender to Olerken well prison for a week, and then on a favourable report from the chaplain of the prison to discharge them with a reprimand. He now, had two women under re mand, who had attempted suicide at the Old Gravel lane Bridge. As one of the magistrates, answerable for the peace:of the district, he could not help thinking it was shocking to humanity that these attempts were so fre quent, and that some scheme might be devised to prevent drunken and half-insane persons jumping into the water. He and his colleague only heard of the unsuccessful cases. The successful cases of suicide were investigated by the coroner, and they were numerous. Mr. Mumford said the railings of the bridges were high enough for ordinary purposes. Mr. Paget said that was so, but drunken and insane per sons got over the railings and attempted suicide in the dock. Mr. Mumford said if the height of the railings were increased it would be an impediment to business, and that nothing would then stop people jumping into the River Thames a few yards further on. Mr. Paget was of opinion that the height of the railings could be increased at a trif ling expense, and people kept out of the , water. There were some bridges at the lower part of the docks in Shad well with lattice work 10 feet high, and there were no suicides or attempted suicides there. Mr. George said those bridges were moved by hydraulic machinery, and erected under the provisions of a recent Act of Parlia ment. Mr. Mumford said it had become fashionable for drunken• persons, and particularly prostitutes, to attempt suicide at the bridges of the London dock. The Bridge of Sighs, as Waterloo-bridge was termed by Tom Hood the novelist, was the fashionable resort for suicides in the West, as the London dock bridges were in the East. Mr. Paget said he had nothing to do with Waterloo bridge. He was firmly of opinion that these outrages to humanity could be lessened, and he wished the solicitor of the London and St. Katherine Dock Companies, now united, should wait on him. Mr. George and Mr. Mumford said the magistrate's wishes should be communicated to the solicitor, and after stating that Westminster-Bridge was not a fashionable resort for suicides, though the railway was only four feet higher, took their departure. WESTMINSTER. SERIOUS STREET COLLISION.—George Lucas, driver of a Brighton fly, plying between Wimbledon and Putney, was charged with causing hurt and damage, and being drunk during his employment as a hackney carriage driver. It appears that at half-past eleven last night Mr. John Biddulph and his wife were driving from Cromwell-road to the Palace Hotel, Buckingham-gate, and opposite Brompton-square, the defendant, in the middle of the road, ran into the carriage and turned it over, injuring the coachman severely, as well as Mrs. Biddulph. He was very drunk. BJth the carriages were very much damaged. Mr. Arnold asked whether he should send the case for trial for causing bodily harm, as his powers wen) very limited ? Mr. Biddulph wished the case to be sett'ed. Prisoner said be took a fare from Putney to Gerrnyn stuet, and had too much drink. Mr. Arnold said the damage could be recovered from the owner of the carriage, and for the furious driving and drunkenness he fined defendant 40s or a month. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S. A. ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORES OR DRESSING never fails to quickly restore Grey or Faded Hair to its youthful colour and beauty, and with the first application a beautiful gloss and de lightful fragrance is given to the Hair.

Tho interpellation of the Left Centre becomes more and more formidable. Some exaggerated estimates of the number of signatures have been published, but it is certain that the total up to the time lam writing is not fewer than 115. Yesterday it was 110, and 5 more Imperialists have joined the Moderate-Liberal camp within the last twenty four hours. The Libute states that 38 deputies of the ex treme Left will infallibly vote in favour of the interpellation, and as M. Emile de Girardin's journal is the leading ad vocate of the Moderate Liberals, this statement must be accepted as correct. If the interpellation, therefore, be brought to a division, the Liberals, according to all appearances, will be supported by 153 votes, and the Government will ho beaten. What a change in a few months from the stereotyped band of twenty-five who used to hopelessly throw themselves on the serried ranks of the Imperialists Whether the Emperor will allow the question to be brought to this pass is most anxiously canvassed here. At present all is in the dark. We have nothing tut conjecture to rely upon ; but the general impression is that the Emperor will give way, and yield up personal government. From some vague words let fall by M. Rouher during the last day or two, it would appear that the Government was not radically oppcsed to change. The Emperor, in fact, was willing to grant reform, but not so much as was claimed by the Left Centre. I hardly need remind you that the significance of the famous interpellation has been materially altered. At first it pronounced for reform generally, without specifying what concessions would be accepted, now it demands that personal government should cease, and that Ministers be responsible for the acts of the Government. This means that the Emperor is to become a constitutional sovereign. 111. Rouher of course opposes a change which would involve his own downfall. He calls the demand for Ministerial responsibility an attack upon the Emperor, and doubts whether it can be entertained at all. But the signature of one Imperialist after another is asymptom which cannot bo overlooked. The official deputies are clearly beginning to think that the ship of personal government is sinking, and that they had better get out of it. The Emperor might resist a demand which was supported by none of his own followers. But when his relatives and the elected of his prefects are joining in the cry for change, is it possible that he can resist it? Most people here think he cannot. All are agreed that this is the most momentous crisis the Empire has yet seen. That M. Rouher and his colleagues are frightened at the aspect of affairs there can be no doubt. Yesterday the business in the Corps IZgislatif was almost entirely neglected. The Ministers were taking the recalcitrant deputies apart one by one, and entreating them to modify their demands. Several of the Moderates were told yesterday that if they would not insist upon Ministerial responsibility, anything short of that would be granted. But no deputy gave way. Five more signed. There is a rumour to-day that the presentation of the interpellation will be contested on the ground that it is unconstitutional. In the letter it decidedly is, for by the law the constitution cannot be discussed in Parliament. But nothing is unconstitutional in spirit which is agreed upon by the people and their ruler, and the Libcrld rightly refuses to believe that the Emperor will thus endeavour to stem the rising tide. The question of naming the Secretaries of the Corps Ldgklatif is much discussed at present. Some are in favour of proceeding at once to that operation, whilst others conceive that as many non-contestcd elections as possible should be previously disposed of, co as to impart to the decisions of the Chamber a greater authority. Hitherto, however, the Administration has refused to consent to the election of the Secretaries, and the Liberal papers accuse it of endeavouring to delay the discussion on reform as long as possible. Of course, no regular busi ness can be undertaken until the Secretaries are elected. But the fact is that if any divisions took place now the Government would be nowhere, for no deputy can vote whose election has not been confirmed, and there are sixty-seven yet unconfirmed. Nearly all these arc Impe rialists. M. Bancol made his debut yesterday in the Corps L6gis latif. He was listened to with great attention, which he deserved, for he is a fine speaker—eloquent, liberaloand Ly no means violent—at least on this occasion. If I have a fault to find with him it is that he is too solemn. Your readers will remember that M. Bailed is the candidate who defeated Emile 011ivier in Paris. One of the official arguments used against him was that he had, whilst hi exile, drunk to the defeat of the French army before Sebastopol. Yesterday M. Bane.' energetically denied this. Ile had drunk to the abolition of war and the resurrection of liberty, but never to the defeat of his countrymen. The insinuation was one too contemptible to be noticed. More complaints of corruption yesterday. M. Bethmont demanded the abrogation of an election in the Dr3ine, on the ground that the official candidate bad von by only 1,450 votes on a poll of 27,000, and that this majority had been gained only by the mu st flagrant corruption. One official had offered money for Cotes. The bulletins of the official candidate. had been sent attached to vot'ng•papers— a Li - a" ''ffeliee. M. Bethmont thought, equivalent to ordering the electors to vote for the Imperialist. The Liberal bulletins had not been sent round sit all by the authorities. An Englishman, named Roberts, got into trouble at the fair at Fontainebleau. A lady found his hand in her pocket, and though he protested that ho had meant to put it into the pocket of his overcoat, the aid of a policeman was procured. Nine gold pieces were then found in his mouth. He declared that he had put them there to cure the toothache, but he became the victim of this rather strong circumstantial evidence and vox sentenced to a year's imprisonment. MR. GLADSTONE AND THE DUKE OF NE IVCAS7LE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(TIIIS DAY.) Last night the Lord Chief Baron suggested that as the matter resolved itself entirely into a question of law, it should be left to the court above in the shape of a special case setting the reliable facts. This morning a long and earnest consultation took place between the counsel and parties, and ultimately Mr Denman announced to his lordship that they had agreed to these terms : —" The jury to be discharged; special case to be stated by Mr. Gray, Q.C. ; the Court to be at liberty to enter the verdict as it thinks fit, and to draw inferences of fact without prejudice, to the right, if any, of either party to apply, to amend, issue and order. The duke's examinations to be admitted as evidence before Mr. Gray, subject to all rights of examination or contra diction. Certificate for special jury. Judge's order to embody terms." line Lord Chief Baron—That is the form in which I suggested the terms should be arranged, and I need not, therefore, say that. I entirely approve of it. The jury were then discharged accordingly. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIA7ION PRIZE MEETING.—(This Day.) This morning the first range in the first stage for the prize was begun at 600 yards. The highest aggregate score for the Queen's Prize has been made by Colour-Sergeant Sherlock, 20th Middle sex, up to the time of writing. He has made 42 points, which is the highest score made at the three ranges of 200, 500, and 600 yards. Another gentleman, who made an excellent score at 200 and 500 yards, has come hopelessly to grief. This is Mr. Burrows, of the London Irish, who having made the fine score, considering the weather, of 16 at 200 and 18 at 500 yards, has only made 5 this morn ing at 600 yards. SHARE L!,ST.

This morning, between one and two o'clock, a fire, which lighted up the greater portion of the metropolis, happened in the premises belonging to Messrs. Jenson and Nicholson, varnish manufac turers, carrying on business at Pleasant-grove, Belle Isle, King's-cross. The flames commenced in the factory, a factory about 30ft. long and 20ft. wide, and was caused from the vapour arising from pans of boiling varnish. Another fire, resulting from an explosion of fire works, and which it is feared will terminate fatally, happened in the premises belonging to Mr. E. Dyer, a pyrotechnic artist, carrying on business at No. 13, Galton-street, Peckham. The back room of the building on the ground-floor was used as the packing compartment, and whilst Mrs. Dyer and others were storing fireworks for removal to one of the public gardens, the friction caused by pressing in the goods caused a friction of the com position, and in an instant the whole of the fire works exploded, filling the room with fire and sulphurous vapour. With the exception of 'Airs. Dyer, who is 45 years of age, the other parties escaped w it hout injury, but the unfortunate woman was so seriously burned that it was deemed advis able to have her removed to the hospital, where she remains in a precarious state. The engines quickly attended, but before the fire was extinguished the building was seriously damaged by fire and explo sion. GLOBE THEATRE. —To-morrow night, the last of the season, is set apart for the benefit of Mr W. J.

IMPERIAL PARLIA SENT HOUSE OF LORDS—Tiers EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR, took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Commons' amendments to the Park Gate Marriages Bill were considered and agreed to. IRISH CHURCH BILL. Earl GRANVILLE brought up the report of the com mittee on this bill, and moved that it be received. The Earl of CARNARNON moved that the date of the time for the bill coming into operation should be altered from January, 1872, to 1871, as he considered it would be unwise to persevere with the amendment that had been made, because the more delay that was made in bringing the bill into operation, the more difficult would be the operation. The Earl of LONGFORD said he did not agree with his noble friend. He thought the amendment that had beeu made a very judicious one, and he hoped it would not be altered. Lord CAIRNS said under the circumstances he thought it would be as well if the date was made the Ist of May, 1871, and he hoped the noble earl would not object t.) adopt that in place of the Ist of January, 1872. The suggestion of Lord Cairns was agreed to. _ . Earl GiaIsTVILLE said there was another amendinent which he thought was very objectionable, viz., that en abling the Irish bishops to retain their seats in the house after the Church of Ireland had been disestablished. He would not himself move that it be struck out of the bill, but if any noble lord made such a motion he would support him. Lord REDESDALE said he had bad an amendment on that part of the bill. He thought the provision of th bill as it left the House of Commons was a decided breach of the privileges of their lordships' house, and if the house accepted the bill in that form, it would prove a very dangerous precedent. The amendment made by their lordships was retaiLed and the clause agreed to. Earl STANII OPE then moved to insert a clause after clause 68, the effect of which was that compensation should be paid by the commissiorere to the trustees of the Ob servatory at Armagh, as the lease they at present held of the Carlingford tithes after the passing of the bill would be extinguished. It had been renewed year by year since 1794, and ho hoped that under the circumstances the Observatory had done good service to the cause of science, to objection would be offered to his amendment. Lord DUFFERIN said it was quite out of the power of the Government to accept such a proposal. Lord REDESDALE thought the amendment bad the general approval of the house, and therefore he hoped it would be accepted by the Government. Earl DE GREY said if the Observatory had a valid claim to compensation Government were not indisposed to take the matter into consideration, although the amend ment was not inserted in the Lill. [LEFT SITTING. 1 HOUSE OF COMMONS—TMs EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, the pro ceedings were confined to the amendment of the various clauses, and they occupied the entire of the sitting up to the hour at which it was suspended.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and vie short exchange on London is 25f. 220. per £1 On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 101,d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is dearer in London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for billy at 63 days' sight was on the 3d inst. about 1091 per cent. At this rate there is no prollt on the importation of gold from the United States.
