MONEY lARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The directors of the Union Bank of Australia heve resolved upon a dividend of 17s. 6d. per share, being 71 per cent for the half-year. The Austrian floating debt, according to the com mission appointed for its control, amounted on the 30th of June last to 411,622,347 florins. It is also stated that the floating debt is never to exceed 412,000,000 florins. The preliminaries for the ex tensive network of railways in Turkey have now been taken in hand. A. corps of engineers have already proceeded to Constantinople, whence, in ten (.11V131us, L 1.0- vrni 0-m r llo4o their inspection of the proposed route (about 1,200 miles in length). Ne gotiations are still pending with the Turkish Go vernment relative to the connecting point of their lines with the Southern Railway, via Bosnia ; but the States Railway Company are using all their in fluence, supported by the Hungarian Government, to carry out the connection of the Turkish lines with the Servian and Wallachian lines, which, if successful, may eventually become the overland route to India. A prospectus has been issued of the Imperial Ottoman Mining Company (Limited), with a capi tal of £lOO,OOO in shares of £1 (of which £35,000 is offered for allotment), with the view to buy and work the lead mines of Pelidli, about 28 miles from Constantinople. The purchase money is to consist of 15,000 cash and £35,000 in paid-up shares. The report of the Alliance Bank (Limited), to be presented on the 15th inst., shows an available total of £21,174, and recommends a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. At a meeting of the General Board of Directors of the Thames and Mersey Marine Insurance Com pany (Limited, at Liverpool, yesterday, it was re solved to recommend a payment of 4s. per share for the six months ended the 30th of June—viz., 2s. per share dividend and 2s. per share bonus, and that the sum of £32,000 be carried to the reserve fund.

Majority against —35 A clause was then submitted by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY to authorise the commissioners to pny £500,000 on the Ist of May, 1371, in lieu of the private benefactions. Earl GRANVILLE declined to accept the clause except on the conditions which he had announced, intimating that the house could agree to it if it so pleased. The clause was agreed to. The report was then received, The Earl of CLANCARTY gave notice that, on the third reading, he should move that the bill be read that day three months. Their lordohips adjourned at 20 minutes past nine. HOUSE OF COSIAIONS.—LAsT EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) BILL. The house wcut into committee on this bill, the pro ceedings were confined to the amendment of the various clauses, and they occupied the entire of the sittitig up to the hour at which it was suspended. On resuming at nino o'clock, Mr. HERBERT moved th tt, in the opinion of this house, the grating in front of the ladies' gallery should be removed. Mr. L IYARD opposA the motion, and read a letter from a lady describing in graphic terms the inconveni ence which the removal of the grating would entail upon the occupants of the ladies' gallery, who in that case would be obliged to "play propriety" during dull speeches, and be compelled either to come in evening dress or not The motion was withdrawn. In reply to a question from Captain White, who called attention to the recent charge of furious riling, in Hyde park, Mr. BRUCE declined to order an investigation to be made, ou the ground that it was not the duty of the house to sit in review upon the decisions of the metropo litan police magistrates. The motion for going into committoo of Eupply was then withdrawn. The orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. Miss Mildred Catherine Hawley, eldest daughter of Sir Joseph Hawley, was married on Wednesday morning to Captain Barrington B. D. Campbell, at St. George's, Hanover-square. The Rev. H. C. Hawley, rector of Ley bourne, Kent, officiated. After the breakfast, the newly married couple left for Hungerford. The training establishment, with the dwelling-house, paddocks, &c., at Newmarket, known as Lowther House, at present occupied by Sam Rogers, was put up for sale by auction, on Wednesday, by Mr. E. Feist, but there being no bid up to the reserved price (£4,000), it was not sold. The following horses, the property of M. Bower, have left La Morlaye, and will ce trained by C.Thorpe, at New market :—Gaulois and Drone (6 yrs and aged); Anthee, Benevolence, and Witchcraft (4 yrs); Boston and Chetah Lterault (3 yrs); Bretville, Florien 11., La Trocien, and Lavandiere (2 yrs). The following horses have been bought by Mr. W. H. Mansur and sent to Mr. J. Sones's stud at Moscow :—Re compense (5 yrs), Artemis (3 yrs), M'lan and Applause (2 yrs), and the yearling filly by Parmesan out of Myrtle; also the brood mares Zoraide (with a colt foal by Win grave), Lady Lincoln, and Mystery. The chestnut filly Masquerade (2 yrs), by Loiterer out of Media Noce, which was bought by Mr. Gill, at New market, on Wednesday, has been renamed " Midnight." ART IN FURNITURE.-IVe are accustomed to (' plausible advertisements of pushing manufacturers, in viting the public to buy their ugly and ricketty fabrica tions, that one is almost sick of the word furniture. Happily, however, in this age of shams and meretricious ness there are honest firms who wisely consider character the first and surest condition of commercial success. While sauntering along that improved and improving thoroughfare, Leicester-square, we were attracted by superb specimens of skill and workmanship in the noble shop windows of one of the monster establishments in London. We sought and politely obtained permission to in spect the spacious show rooms and galleries on the ground and upper floors of these commanding premises. Here, indeed, art, dating her new sovereignty from the period of the Great Exhibition, reigns supreme; for in all that is seen around her influence is apparent. If the match less beauty of the various woods elicits admiration, equally so does that judgment and taste which has selected and given them graceful form; while the scrutinising eye ap. predates the durability given to those pleasing forms by patient and positive skilled labour. From these peerless galleries, the nobleman, the man of correct taste, may furnish his residence with articles of the most refined design or finish, whether chaste or florid, such as side boards in pollard oak, in polished walnut, and in glow ing mahogany ; tables for every purpose, magnificent or plain ; couches of almost cloud-like elasticity and gracefulness of outline ; chairs, sumptuous or severe; elegant whatnots, dainty cheffoniers in bull or marque- Ode, wardrobes, end other appurtenances for replete house furnishing. In a matter so important as this it be comes a duty towards those who seek excellence to direct them to such good upholsterers as Messrs. R. Russell and Co., whose furniture possesses all the finish of the French, the expression of the Austrian, and the solidity of the best English. Wo therefore close this brief review by noticing their British, European, and Oriental carpets, many of the latter being unique in design, in brilliancy of colour, and in texture. The different patterns and designs submitted to our inspection could not fall short of 1,000, and iu value £15,000; in fact, the total value of the entire stock on the premises could not fall short of £lOO,OOO. Some Persian specimens shown us—of which Messrs. Russell are, we believe, importers —are perhaps unequalled in this country or on the Continent, a fact recognised by their being the outfitters of the Royal Italian Opera House, Her Majesty's Theatre, and all the principal theatres in the metropolis, and honoured by the most distinguished members of the nobility.—Courl Journal. IMPERIAL PARL IA Al ENT HOUSE OF LORDS.— LAST EVENING. The LORD 011ANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Commons' amendments to the Park Gate Marriages Bill wore 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 coining into operation should bo 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 been made a very judicious on and ha hoped it would not be altered. Lord CAIRNS said under the circumstances be thought it would be as well if the date was made the Ist of May, 1871, and lie hoped the noble earl would not object to adopt that in place of the I,t of January, 1872. The suggestion of I,Jrd Cairns was agreed to. Earl GRANVILLE said there was another amendment 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 bad 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 had an amendment on that part of the bill. He thought the provision of the 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 retained and the clause agreed to. Earl STANHOPE then moved to insert a clause after clause 68, the effect of which was that compensation should be paid by the commissiocors 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 he hoped that under the circumstances the Observatory had done good service to the cause of science, no 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 had 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 till. On clause 27, Lord CAIRNS moved and carried an amendment giving, together with the church and sur rounding burial grounds, burial grounds also merely sepa rated by a highway. The Marquis of CLANRICABDE moved to restore all the terms of payment as originally proposed to be made by the Church body for the ecclesiastical residences, glebes, &c. The Marquis of SALISBURY said that in moving the amendment lie had contemplated giving glebes as well to the Roman Catholic and Presbyterian clergy. He would remind the noble marquis that this was the original pro posal of Mr. Bright, which had also been endorsed by Mr. Gladstone. He denied that the proposal to allow the Irish Church to retai❑ its own glebes was unfair. Earl GRANVILLE said that the retention of the resi dences would be the most obvious sign of inequality. He pointed out that Mr. Gladstone had carefully guarded himself against giving precise pledges on the details of tha bill. They ought to insist on some, although a mo derate, payment for the residences and glebes. If they did not they would maintain the most obvious causa of at a: Sir T. Henry—The case before me is whether or not he kept an office for the receipt of money or valuable thing contingent on a horse race. Mr Sergeant Sleigh—Yes, quite so; that's the ground of the case. Sir T. Henry—You have not forgotten the case of Shaw and Morby. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—No, Sir Thomas ; but then I think the facts found by the justices were dif ferent. Sir 'l.'. Henry—Not quite so different; both ques tions were raised. Mr. Merewether—yes, I was opposed to the learned sergeant then, and the question was whether a certain house was not a house within the meaning of the act, and whether a tree was not a place. Mr. Sleigh--Yes ; it was ituportant that the matter should be decided. Sir T. Henry—Yes, and the matter was decided without your being called upon to argue your side of the case. The first pint was decided, viz., whether a certain structure was a house, and it NV a 3 decided it was. Tac first of these points is the one at issue here. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—The question was whether it was a betting-house ? Sir T. Henry —They gave cards. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—ls it proposed in this case to record a conviction ? Sir T. Henry—There must be a conviction before I can sign the case. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—l think it better then, acting, as I do, for,Wright alone, that there should be an adjournment; and, in the meantime, my friend and myself will endeavour to frame a case that will thoroughly and conclusively settle what can and what cannot be done. Then if that is done sentence can be recorded and the case certified. I understand there is to be a conviction. Sir T. Henry—Oh, yes ; unless you can show me good and valid ground for there not being one. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—Well, then, Sir Thomas, I think the matter had better stand over until Mon day week, as far as the defendant Wright is con cerned. Mr. Straight—On the part of Mr. Morris, Ido not propose to adopt the course of the learned sergeant, as far at all events as this Court is con cerned. I have to apply, in order that Mr. Morris's anxiety may in some degree be set at rest, and the great expense attending the keeping open the case put an end to, to ask that a conviction be recorded against him to-day. I have to ask that the case may set out all the facts, that it was supported by documentary evidence principally, and that you Sir Thomas will state the inference you draw from those facts. Sir T. Henry—The case, of course, will be so drawn, and I may state that the inferences I drew from the case were that the defendant Morris did keep a house within the meaning of the Act, that he did receive a Post-officer order for the sum of 11, and he did promise to pay in the event of a certain horse, called See Saw, winning a race, which race the horse won, and the money was ac cordingly paid.l Mr- Straight —Then the conviction will be based on the 3d clause of the Act. Sir T. Henry—The third clause read with the second section of the first clause, commencing " or for the purpose of any money or valuable thing being received by or on behalf of such occupier, owner, keeper, or person as aforesaid, as or for the consideration for an assurance, &c., to pay money, &c., on a contingency of or relating to a horse race. Mr. Merewether—On behalf of the defendant Smith, as he thinks he has not committed any offence. Sir T. Henry--.. 1 am quite prepared to hear any legal argument on the subject, although I am under the impression that Mr. Hawkins finished all he had to say on a former occasion. Mr. Alerewether—My learned friend did not quite conclude, but! have no desire to carry on any legal argument ; I have only to say that, as the case of Morris and Smith appear so similar, I shall ask that a conviction may be recorded against my client Smith, but that Leigh, who was, in fact, only a paid servant, and whose occupation had now gone, might be discharged. Mr. Poland—l cannot agree to such a proposal. as that. Leigh differed in many real ects from those persons who had been discharged. Leigh's name appeared in Smith's advertisements " Acting Manager," and to a great degree he seemed to share responsibility with Smith. Mr. Merewether--I .hope my learned friend does not mean to ask for judgment against him. Mr. Poland—No. Mr. Merewether—Then I cannot ask anything more. Ido hope, however, there will be no tine imposed on him. Mr. Poland—l hope not, but that does not rest with me. The two defendants, Morris and Smith, were then formally convicted, and fined £lOO each. After a little more discussion between the coun- 7HE BE777NG-HOUSE P.3OSEC ULAON. B 0 W-STR EE r—THIS DAY. To-day, Mr. William Wright, of Brydges-street, Covent-garden; Mr. Sydney Smith, Mr Leigh, his cl:rk, of 100, Jermyn•strect ; and Mr. Morris, of the Turf Commissimi Agency, Cork-street, Bur lington-garden 3, attended before Sir T. Henry, on remand, charged with infringing the IGth and 170 , Viet., cap. 119, by keeping a betting-house. It will be recollected that on the last occasion the proceedings were adjourned in or.ler that counsel for the defend.tats might agree on a case, the Chief Magistrate having expressed his intention to con vict, to be argued in one of the superior courts at Westminster. Mr. Poland appeared to prosecute on the part of the Treasury. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh appeared for Mr. Wright, Mr. Straight for Mr. Mor►is, and Mr. Merewether for Smith and Leigh. Mr. Poland, in addressing the magistrate, said— Oa the Let occasion, it would be remembered that— Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—lt may save time if I say that you, Sir Thomas, having come to a decision on the matter— Sir Thomas Henry—That I should decide that the defendants had carried on a betting-house. Mr. Poland--Perhaps my learned friend will allow me to finish my remarks. I was going to say that, since we were here last, myself and the learned sergeant have been carefully through the facts connected with this matter, for the purpose of settling the matter in dispute. There are one or two little matters yet open, but we have so nearly arrived at a conclusion, that I may say we only require a little more time to bring our deliberations to a close. Sir T. Henry—You had now better confer. Mr. Poland—l only wish it clearly set out in the case, in order to raise the question whether or not the defendants had carried on a betting-house contrary to the Act of Parliament. lam bound to say that the undertaking given by the defend ants on the last occasion, that they w3ull cease operations, had been honourably observed. They have suspended :their business, and the question really now is whether you, Sir Thomas, should give judgment, or whether we should adjourn the matter for a short time. Sir T. Henry—l think you had better adjourn. Mr. Poland—Time presses ; the session will be shortly on. Sir T. Henry—Yes, I know that, but the trial of the matter in the Court of Queen's Bench cannot take place before November. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—My learned friend and my self are both animated with the same desire, and that is to get upon paper the facts to be decided, and those facts are, what are the legal rights of the defendants, and also their legal liability. Sir T. Henry—Yes, that is the exact point. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—We arc, as I said before, very nearly agreed, but we must lay the matter before you, Sir 'Thomas, before it can be signed. Sir T. Henry—Name any day you please, if it can't be done now. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—lt can't be done now, sir, and I may at the same time say, on the part of lklr. Wright, that the facts should be put as clearly as possible, that the case should be drawn to r Lisa thu point that his contention before you was erro neous. it was arranged the proceedings shoukl be ad jouimd until the 2d of August, al it was not pos sible for the•case to be taken previous to the ter mination of the long vacation, Nov. 2, and that on the next occasion the case to be submitted to the superior court siwuld be handed iu for the signa ture of the chid magistrate.

There were other cases against the prisoner to be en quired into, and Mr. Paget remanded him till Wednesday next. WESTMINSTER.

Defendant did not dispute the fare, but on her oath said she offered the defendant Gd. when he asked for it, and he told her she was drunk. Ho did not take the fare when it was offered ; neither did he ask for it until she came on of the house five minutes after she went in.
