LONDON, June 11. (Received Jane 13,1887, at 12.16 p.m.) In the House of Lords to-day Lord Salisbury made a statement regarding the Anglo-Turkish Convention in reference to Egypt, and confirmed the details already made public. He further stated that the Convention required the assent of the other Powers, and of the Turkish and British Governments, otherwise the Convention would be invalid, and England will remain in her former position. THE CRIMES BILL. In the House of Commons to-day Mr Smith’s motion that the Committee should report the Crimes Bill by the 17th inst. was carried by a majority of 155. The debate was a protracted one, and the cloture bad to be applied in order to bring it to an end, Mr Gladstone, in his speech, admitted that the paralysis of the business of the House had caused a widespread feeling of discontent, but he declared that the Government were answerable for the existing state of affairs.
