TURKISH LoAN.—A meeting of the scripholders in the
Turkish Loan, called by Messrs. C. Devaux and Co., was
held yesterday at the London Tavern, at which a report
was read from those gentlemen, explanatory of their con-
nection with the loan, and the course which they have
pursued as the agents of the contractors, in regard to its
negotiation and rejection by the Turkishl Government.
The explanations given were favourably received, and
appeared to give general satisfaction to the meeting, which
included several leading members of the Stock Exchange,
and other persons of influence in this city. The follow-
ing resolutions were then proposed for the consideration
of the scripholders, and unanimously adopted :—" The
meeting, having heard the statements submitted to
them by Messrs. C. Devaux and Co., resolve—That the
Ottoman Government is bound by the treaty for the
Ottoman loan, entered into by Prince Callimaki and M.
Couturier, and expresses its astonishment that, after the
first instalment of the said loan had been paid, and the
money appropriated to the purposes of the Sublime
Porte, any attempt should be made to repudiate so solemn
a contract. That a committee of ten gentlemen be ap-
pointed to promote and protect the interest of the holders
of the said loan, and that they be authorised to take such
steps as they may deem best calculated to obtain the
fulfilment of the obligations entered into by the Otto-
man Government. That the committee consist of—
Mr. S. J. Waley, Count Strzlecki, C. 8., Baron
Goldsmid, Mr. G. E. Seymour, Mr. W. Tite, Mr.
Joseph Locke, M.P., Mr. James Capel, and Mr.
Louis Cohen ; and that Messrs. C. Devaux and Co. be
requested to co-operate with them, and that they be also
requested to place all documents, papers, and corres-
pondence in reference to the said loan at their disposaL"
It may be mentioned in connection wfth this* übject,
that letters were received yesterday from Constantinople
to the 6th inst., which refer to the possibility of another
change in the Turkish Ministry, which may lead to the
ultimate recognition of the loan, or to some more favour-
able arrangement for the scripholders than that at pre-
sent contemplated, In the meantime about 280,0001.
has been deposited in the Bank of England by the re-
presentative of the Ottoman Government in this country,
with the object, we are informed, of providing for the
return of the first instalment to the scripholders, when
the necessary arrangements have been completed.
FATAL ACCIDENTS AT THE DUKE'S FUNERAL.—Yester-
day evening, Mr. Bedford held an inquest at Charing-
cross Hospital on the body (of David Lerigo, aged 22, a
clerk in the house of Messrs. Bignell and Davidson, 8,
Spring-gardens, whose death- resulted from his falling
from the parapet of Messrs. Drummond's Bank, Char-
ing-cross, on the occasion of the funeral procession of the
illustrious Duke of Wellington passing that establish-
ment.—J. Morrell, porter to Messrs. Drummond's
establishment, deposed that on Thursday last the de-
ceased and several other persons were on the roof of the
bank to witness the funeral procession of the Duke of
Wellington. The deceased, to get a better view of it,
stood on the parapat wall at the back of the house, so as
to look over the heads of the people in front of him.
After stopping there a short time, he endeavoured to im-
prove his position, in doing which he slipped and fell into
into the back-yard, a height of forty-five feet. The de-
ceased's head was fractured from coming in contact with
the flag stones of the yard, and his leg was likewise
broken.—Thos. Lee, head porter at Drummond's, knew
the deceased, and allowed him to mount, with the servants
of his master, the roof of the bank by means of a ladder
placed on the roof of the stable for that purpose.—ln
answer to several questions frnm the jury, the witness
stated that the money had been paid by the deceased or
any other person on the roof, and none of them had gone
through the house to get there. There was no person in
charge of the roof at the time ; neither were any arrange-
ments made for the accomodation of sight-seers. The
parties there consisted mostly of coachmen and other
domestic, servants.—Mr. Tucker, house surgeon, having
proved that the deceased expired in consequence of in-
juries received, a long conversation arose as to the
responsibility of persons not taking proper precautions
for the safety of parties whom they accomodated with
places to view public processions, &c., and the jury ulti-
mately returned a verdict of "Accidental death." A man
named John Dooley, aged 50 years, died on Thursday
from the effects of injury he sustained while endeavour-
ing to get to his seat in St. Paul's-church-yard, on the
previous night. It appears that he was knocked down
by a cart, which passed over his body, whereby he re-
ceived such fearful injury that he expired in the accident
ward of St. Bartholmew's Hospital. Anothar accident
happened to a female named Eliza White, aged 45, while
in the crowd at the end of the Old Bailey. She is going
on favourably At prefieut.
