LYING OF THE FOUNDATION STONE OF THE
NEW PARISH CHURCH OF Sr. Jut% ORAYB-INN.ROAD, ST
LORD CALTRORPL —MR'S DAY.)—This afternoon about
hall-past one o'clock, the foundation stone of the new pariah
church of St. Jude, now in the course lof erection in Gray's-
inn-road, at a abort distance from the King's-cross Station,
was laid by Lord Calthorps. Much anxiety wee displayed
to witness the laying of the stone, and although the weather
wu cold • large concourse of persons were present. Mr.
J. Peacocks is the architect of the church, the style
of which is to be decorated Gothis. The con-
tractor is Mr. G. J. Carter. The church is
to contain accommodation for 1000 persona, and the out is
estimated at 6,000/. The proceedings were commenced with
mayor, after which the stone was lowered into its plans.
Suitable addresses were afterwards delivered by several gen-
tlemen. Among the company present were Lord Rollo, the
Rey. Canon Champneya, the Rev. J. M. Andrews, the
incumbent, and several clergymen.
THE BERKELEY DIvoRCE CASE. —The Hon. Grant-
ley F. Berkeley having instituted • suit against his wife, the
Hon. Caroline Berkeley, for a restitution of conjugal rights,
• cross snit has been instituted by Mrs. Berkeley against her
husband for • judicial separation from Mr. Berkeley on the
ground of his having committed adultery. The latter suit
m sot down for trial before Sir C. Cromwell and • special
jury, at the sittings after the present term.
COLLIERY CARELESSNESS. —Two remarkable in-
stances of colliery carelessness were made public through •
prosecution in the Wolverhampton police court palter-
day. In one use it was proved that a boy, eight years
of age, wu permitted to manage the apparatus by
which the men were drawn up and let down the pit. The
boy was not tall enough to reach the head of the horse which
he drove. For this offence the charter master of the piqt
was fined 201. The other was • still more remarkable
case. It was proved, in this instance, that a woman
actually lowered a man down the pit by her own manual
strength. Forthis offence the charter master was Seed 251.
THE SPAWNING SEASON IN THE RI YEE TAY.
The spawning of the salmon in the Tay is now progressing
very favourably in all the upper waters, and operations have
already commenced for stocking with ova the artificial pro-
pagatioa ponds at Stormontfield. Within the bias few
days • number of fish have been taken on the ford at the
mouth of the Almond, and a considerable quantity of ova
obtained. The fish appear to be very plentiful in the river
at present.—EdinburgA Goiania&
Some tourist.. just returned to Southampton from
the Rhine found the words " How's your poor fat"
written by some cockney traveller " on the castle crag of
Draehentels.”

French ladies of the highest rank are now in the
habit of slightly painting the cheeks just under the eyes,
to give those organs a brilliant appearance. Different
colours are used in painting, according to the oolour of

broken up without altering the rate of discount.
This announcement has not had any general
effect of importance on the stock markets, but the
funds have improved about i per cent. English
railway stocks are flat, and prices in many instances
are rather lower. Foreign securities are mostly
well supported, with a good amount of business.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rent** opened at
70fr. 350., being Sc. better than yesterday.

At a meeting of Venezuela bondholders, held
yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. J. D. Powles
in the chair, the chairman entered into the position
of the bondholders consequent on the recent nego-
Cation of the new loan, and protested against the
prejudicial rumours which bad been placed in cir-
culation, and which he declared to be without
foundation. Mr. A. Walls, in complimentary
terms to the members of the old committee, and
to Messrs. James Clay, M. P., Z. Redman, H. J.
Meadows, N. Henry, and J. Alexander (the
fpri-
vete committee), moved that a commission o 29
per cent. on 214,0001. arrears be paid to the com-
bined committees, expressing his opinion that these
gentlemen were eminently entitled thereto, and to
the best thanks of the bondholders. This motion,
having been seconded, was carried unanimously; as
was also a resolution that in convening future meet-
ings the object thereof should be stated in the adver-
tisement. After a vote of thanks to the chair, the
meeting separated.
Gold to the extent of 40,0001. was taken from the
Bank yesterday for exportation.
The second bidding of the month for bills on
India took place yesterday at the Bank of England.
The amounts offered for tender were 14,00,000 re. on
Calcutta, 5,20,000 ra. on Bombay, and 1,50,000 rs.
on Madras, being the balance of 50 lace to be
drawn for this month. The declared minimum
price was la. 111 d. per rupee on Calcutta, and 2s.
on Bombay and Madras. The applications within
the limits were for about 86 lace. Tenders on
Calcutta at 2s. 09d. will receive about 88 per cent.,
and above that price in full ; on Bombay at 2s. 09d.
will receive about 43 per cent., and above that
price in full ; and on Madras at 2s. 09d. will
receive in full.

Rumours have been current for some time past
relative to the probable establishment of a National
Bank in Turkey, and although nothing of an au-
thentic character has up to the present moment
been permitted to transpire, the inquiries for
Turkish securities for account of foreign operators
usually well versed in Turkish matters are not to be
overlooked. Within the last few days Ottoman
Bank shares have been bought to some extent for
(it is said) the continent, and the rise in the price
would point to a combination of the proposed
new bank with this establishment. The opinion
seems to be general that a combination in this sense
would inspire confidence here, and that a National
Bank for Turkey, brought out under these auspices,
would contribute materially to the restoration of
the finances of Turkey and to the stability of her
securities in all the European markets.
Subscriptions are invited for an issue of 2,500,000
dollars, or 562,5001., of Bonds of the Atlantic and
Great Western Railway. In many respects this
nndertaking, as previously remarked, occupies an
exceptionally favourable position amongst American
railway investments. Its mauagement, both in
America and here, is able and highly respectable.
The bonds now offered are secured by a first re-
gistered mortgage, constituting a lien on the income
and all corporate rights, privileges, lauds, fran-
chises, plant, and property of the Penn-
sylvania division of the railway, and guaranteed
by the New York and Ohio divisions.
The bonds, which bear 7 per cent. interest,
are redeemable at par within fifteen years in New
York, or iu London at 4a. &I. per dollar, and are
transferable without stamp or endorsement ; 4 per
cent. of the gross amount will be drawn yearly in
January, commencing in 1864, to be paid off at par
in Loudon. Interest coupons are attached to the
bonds, payable semi-annually, in April and October,
at the banking-house of Messrs. Heywood and Co.,
London, at the fixed rate of 4a. to the dollar. The
price of issue is 70. By way of special security,
it is explained that
As provision for interest and sinking food, the directors
undertake to pay over to Messrs. Brown Brothers and Co.,
bankers of New York, to be remitted to the trustees, is
London, the first set receipts of the railway until a sufficient
amount is accumulated for each half-yearly dividend and
for the same purpose of security for both and
sinking fund, the directors have also entered into an engage-
ment to pay to Mears. Brown Brothers and Co., direct, the
subsidy from the Erie Railway on the gross receipts from
freight and passengers brought from the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway.
The directors state their belief that "by the
creation of these trusts and by engaging to pay the
coupons in London, at a fixed rate of 4s. to the
dollar (or 141. per annum on each bond of 1,000
dollars, or 2251.), they have provided for the bond-
holders a securiey as perfect as any railway in Eng-
land or elsewhere can give." The receipt of the
bonus guaranteed by the Erie Company is alone
estimated at more than sufficient to pay the inte-
rest on all the bonds. Amongst the 'other advan-
tages are the fixed rate of exchange for redemption
of principal, and of the interest warrants, both in
London, and the fact that the road is made before
these bonds are offered to the public. 100 miles
(from Salamanca to Meadville) are now open. 100
miles further, to Akron, with a connexion at Cleve-
land, will be ready for traffic during the present
month. The railway to Titusville and the oil
regions has just been opened, and the branch
to Franklin and the great coal fields
will be opened in December-completing
300 miles of railway in actual operation. An
undertaking is given that no further issue of bonds
will be made for two years.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
shows this week an increase of 1,7621. over last year.
We are requested to state that the name of Mr.
A. Alison (of the late firm of Alison, Merry, and
Conningham, of Glasgow) has been added to the
board of the Nova Scotia Land and Gold Crushing
and Amalgamating Company (Limited).

With reference to the market for American se-
curities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as fellows:
we have bad during the past weeks Aron market is
London for American securities, with more &peStion to
buy on home account. United States Five per Cleats., 1874
have been take. in moderate amounts, at 64 ; sad Virgisie
Su per Cents. at 47 to 4. For Illinois Classtrmakin Blois
sad Erie Bonds there has been a good &mead. The prib-
dpal demand, however, bee been for Eris .bares and Mime&
shares, to supply sales made in New York, sad also to
supply some "bear" accounts, which have beta open as
thr ode. This afternoon, on receipt of telegrams frees
New York to the 7th, reporting lower prices, and that Yr.
Seward has protested about the doings of the " Alabama,"
pekes soddenly gave way, the decline in Erie and IBiei
being from 1 dol. to ti dol.
