A corps of engineers have already proceeded to Constantinop!e, whence, i❑ ten divisious, they will complete 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 lin s 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.

April and Oct ti 2 1111 IMPERIAL PAR LIA i)T ENT HOUSE OF LORDS—LAsi. 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 diffi:utt would be the operation. The Earl of LONGFORD said he di.l not agree with his noble friend. le thought the amendment th:%t had been made a very judicious on; and ho hopad it would not be altered. Lord CAIRNS said under the circumstances he thought it would 133 as well if tvie data was made the Ist of May, 1871, and he hoped the noble earl would not object to adopt that in place of the lot of January, 1872. The suggestion of Lord Cairns was agreed to. Earl Gil IN VILLE 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 Lad b :en disestablizled. lle would not hiinsell move that it be struck out of the bill, but if guy noble lord made such a motion ho would support Lord REDES DALE said he Lad hail as anAeadtuent on that pact of the bill. He thought the provision of th. 3 bill as it left the House of Commons was a decided breach of the privileges of their lordships" home, and if the house ace , pted the bill iu that form, it would prove a very dangerous precedent. The amendment made by their lordships was retai-ed and the clause agreed to. Earl STANHOPE then moved to insert a clause after clause 68, the efftct of which was that compensation should be paid by the commissiocere to the trustees of the Ob servatory at Armagh, as the lease they at present held of the Garlingford tithes after the passing of the bill would be extinguished. It had been renewed year by year since 1791, 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 ii 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. 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 CLANRICARDE moved to restore all the terms of payment as originally proposed to be made by the Church boiy for the ecclesiastical resid?nces, glebes, &c. The Marquis of SALISBURY said that in moving the amendment he had contemplated giving globes 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 retain 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 th 3 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 cause of irritation. Their lordships divided— For the amendment Against 9l Majority against —3s A clause was then submitted by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY to authorise the commissioners to pay £509,000 on the Ist of May, 1871, iu lieu of the private benefactions. Earl GRANVILLE declined to ace , pt the clause except on the conditions which he had announced, inti:uatitq that the house could agree to it if it so pleased. The clauso was agreed to. The report was then received, The Earl of CLANCARTY gave notice that, on the third readif;g, he 611'Illiti move that the bill be mail that day three months. Their lord.,hips adjourned at 20 minutes past nine. HOUSE OF CO \IAIONS.—LAsT EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) BILL. The house wcut Lao committee on this bill, the pro cood:ngs were confined to the amen Intent of the various clauses, and they occupied the entire of the sitting up to the hour at which it was suspended. On resuming at nine o'clock, Mr. HERBERT moved th tt, in the opinion of this house, the grain„ in front of the ladit!s'gdtery should be removed. Mr. L iYA CID epp,sl.l the merc', an 1 read a Llter from a la ly dose] ibiug in graphic terms dm inconveni ence which the 1.-inoval of the grating wool t entail up m the occupants of tha ladies' gallery, who in th:it case would be obliged to "play rr - opri ty" during dull speeches, and be compel Ltd either to come iu evening dress or not at all. The motion was witl:d •awn. In reply to a question from Captain White, who called attention to the recent charge of furious tiding in Hyde park, Mr. BRUCE declined to order au investigation to be made, on the ground that it was not the duty of the houso to sit in review upon the decisions of the metropo litan police inagistTatos. The motion for going into committee of fupply was then withdrawn. Th'e 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 We 'nesda,y morning to Captain Barrington B. D. Campbell, at St. George's, Hanover-:quare. The Rev. [I. C. Hawley, rector of Loy bourne, Kent, officiated. After the breakfast, the newly married couple left for Hungerford. The training establishin;nt, with the dwelling-house, paddock; &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 (£1,000), it was not sold. The following horses, the property of M. Bower, Lave left La Morlaye, and will De trained by C.Thorpe, at New market : —Gaulois and Drone (6 yrs and aged); Authoc, Benevolence, and Witchcraft (4 yrs); Boston and °lintel herault (3 yrs); Bretville, Florien 11., La Trocien, and Lavandiere (2 yrs). The following horses have been bought by Mr. W. 11. Mouser and sent to Mr. d. 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 Zoraido (with a colt foil 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.—We aro 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-equare, wo were attracted by superb specimens of ski.l 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 preciates 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 clou t-like elasticity and gracefulness of outline; chairs, sumj.tuous or severe; elegant whatnots, dainty cheffoniers in buhl or marque terie, wardrobes, and 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, tLe expression of the Austrian, and the solidity of the best English. We 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 in 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 mpabers el tin n9bilit7.—Corr Journal SHARE LIST. oRDINARY dIiAAEB AND STOCKS.

To-day, Mr. William Wright, of Brydges-s freet, Covent-garden ; Mr. Sydney Smith, Mr Leigh, his clerk, of 100, Jermyn-street ; and Mr. Morris, of the Turf Commission Agency, Cork-street, Bur lington-gardens, attended before Sir T. Henry, on remand, charged with infringing the 16th and 17th Viet., cap. 119, by keeping a betting-house. It will be recollected that on the list occasion the proceedings were adjourned in order that counsel for the defend into 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. Morris, and Mr. Merewether for Smith and Leigh. Mr. Poland, in addressing the magistrate, said— On the lest 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 deci.le 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 di , pute. 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 w)ul I team operations, had been honourably observed. They have suspended :their business, and the question really now ii 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 got 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 are, as I said before, very nearly agreed, but we must lay the matter before you, Sir Thomas, before it can be signed. Sir 'l'. 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 Mr. Wright, that the facts should be put as clearly as possible, that the case should be draws to raise the point that his contention before you was erro neous. 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. Alr 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 T. Henry—Not quite so different ; both ques tions were raised. Mr. Merewether—Yes, I was opposed to the learned sergeant then, and the vestiou was whether a certain house was not a house within the meaning of the act, and whether a tree was not a place. Mr. S:eigii—Yes ; it was important 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. Tue first point was decide 1, viz., whether a certain structure was a house, and it wai dcci led it was. Toe first of these points is the one at Lsue here. Mr. S rgeaut Sleigh—The question was whether it was a betting-Loess ? Sir T. henry—'They gave cards. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh-13 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 Weight 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 con fiction. Sir T. Henry—Oh, yes ; unless you can show the good and valid ground fur 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, I do not propose to adopt the curse 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 txpense attending the keeping open the case put au 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 £l, 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.`] 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--I 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. Ilerewether—My learned friend did not quite conclude, but I 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. 0414 Mr. Poland—l cannot agree to such a proposal. as that. Leigh differed in many resi ects from those persons who had been discharged. Leigh's name appeared in Staith's advertisements " Acting Manager," and to a great d..,gree he seemed to share responsibility with Smith. Mr. Merewether—l . hope my learned friend does not mean to ask for judgment against hiin. Mr. Poland—No. Mr. Merewether—Then I cannot ask anything more. Ido hope, however, there will be no fine 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 amnion between the coca - scl it was arranged the proceedings should be ad journed until the 2d of August, as it was not pos ible 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 should be handed in for the signa-, ture of the chief magistrate. 1 1 1 DITION The Third Edition of " The Sun, " of last Evening was published in kime for delivery in town at 7.1 5 p.m. SUN OFFICE, 6 o'CLocK.

THAMES. CHARGE or EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST A TRAVELLER.— William Beddow, a respectable-looking man, about 30 years of age, of No. 74, Diggins-street, on the Clare Hall estates, Mile-end, Old-town, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with feloniously embezzling various sums of money he bad received for, and on account of, Mr. Alexander L. Fleming, engineer, smith, and ships' iron monger, of No. 34 and 65, Wapping-wall. The prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor as traveller, and to receive money for goods. His duty was to account every day for all monies received by him. In some instances he had not done so, and on being spoken to on the subject by Lamb, a police-constable, No. 42 X, he said Mr. Scott knows 1 received the money ; he knew that. I had it; I have a mother and family at home, and they wanted the money. It turned out, on inquiry by Lamb, that he had not disposed of the money for his mother and family. They had none of it. There were other cases against the prisoner to be en quired into, and Mr. Paget remanded him till Wednesday next. WESTMINSTER. CAB Luz IN LONDON.—Martha Gordon,.s. well dressed woman, residing at 67, Oakley-street Chelsea, was sum— moned for a cal. fare of 6d. Walter Coleman, a cabman, said he took the defendant and another lady with a child from Oakley-street to 1.55, Buckingham Palace-road, and then received is as his fare; he asked for another 6d. as he was entitled to it, and that defendant refused to ply and told him he was drunk. Defendant did not dispute the fore, but on Ler oath said she offered the defendant 6d. when ho asked for it, and he told her she was drunk. Ile di I not take the fare when. it was Offered ; neither did he ask fur it until she cams oat of the house five minutes after she went in. The eatrnan, a quiet looking fellow, indignantly denied the allegations of the defendant, but Mr. Arnold ordered the defendant to pay. GI., without. co is Hans Morrison, a gentleman, was sumnioned for ls. Alfred Cates said he took the defendant from Cockspnr street to Maida-hill, Lack to Trafalgar-square, and thence to the House of Commons. His fare was 3s. 6d. distance and ls. waiting Defendant paid him 3s. 6d. Defendant disputed the time on his oath, but the cab man swore he took it by his watch. He was not wearing it now, Laving left it at home. Mr. Arnold was of opinion that, although the cabman had gone the wrong way, he was entitled to 3s. 6d., and as ..his watch was in question against defendant's opinion, he must on* defendant to pay IN. as ON. onto.
