A SCENE IN " THE HOUSE."

CAUTION TO INN AND HOTEL KEEPERS AND arungsj
—Tradesmen generally will do well to be on their guir,,,
against a man calling himself Shaw, who is about
years old, and is fond of talking about a fortune he
made by "digging" in Australia. Such a person h -
several times stopped for a night at the house
Mr. T. Birch, No. 1, Great Duncie-street, StrangewaYs;'
and as he always paid his bills, he was not suspected.
When he again appeared there, some ten days •an
without any luggage. He lived jollity fora week, as
`;
gave orders for clothes and other things, some ,43:
which he obtained. On Tuesday, Mr. Birch thought_
it advisable to present his bill; on receipt of which
Mr. Shaw said it was all right, and he would pay di"
rectly, but he thought of staying another week or se•
He contrived to slip out, however ; and instead of re-
turning, he patronised the Dog and Partridge for the
night. Shaw seems to have forgotten a rather ill'''.
portant thing, besides that of paying his bill; for he
left behind him a good and large photographic likeness
of himself, which he obtained last week, and which he
said cost him 255. The likeness, on being o°l'a,
at the Detective Police Office, was instantly recogTs:„
by several of the officers as that of a man w*oo'isoui;
well known in Huddersfield that he would prelya
not be comfortable there at present ; and who is a-Ra'
known unfavourably by innkeepers and others here ell,_
elsewhere. Any tradesman who may suspect hinisekl.:;,'
be a victim, may see Shaw's portrait at Mr. Burch f
A young master tailor would have supplied a seit
clothes worth £7, if Shaw could have remained Vie,t
at Mr. "'Arch's until Thursday ; but the clothes forte'
hagscribed needed some slight alterations. Shaw is ,
scribed as about sft. Bin. high, and well made; he
dark brown hair and a thick moustache ; and bel;wii
recently been wearing a dark blue sack jacket, b
troasers and.brown honeycomb veh;., with a bro•P
collar and a red woollen shirt, stliped,

Princes of the Blood ; Foreign Ambassadors ;
Peers, spiritual and temporal; distinguished stran-
gers from all lands ; turbaned Mussulmans, and
grave-looking Persians ; Turks in Fez caps and
ladies in crinolines—all assembled to witness with
what dexterity the Agamemnon of finance could
gild and lubricate the bitter pill which John Bull is
to swallow at a gulp. Rarely has the House of
Commons witnessed such a scene. As early as ten
o'clock in the morning, an, eager multitude pre-
sented themselves for admittance at the Strangers
Gallery, at the door of which they tarried with
astonishing patience until four o'clock in the
afternoon! The lobby of the House was filled
with the friends of M.P.'s, anxious to get their
names put upon the Speaker's list. The seats set
aside for the peers were speedily filled, and among
those present were his Royal Highness the Duke
of Cambridge, the French Ambassador, the Ameri-
can Ambassador, the Belgian Ambassador, Lord
Brougham the
,DLuokred ofp uNnewanenaostnle,and itl
a host of
e Earl of
Derby, the Duke of Somerset, Lord Elgin, Earl de
1
Grey and Ripon
peers who deserted their own House
Taunton
to
wit-
ness the proceedings. The new or
(late Mr. Labouchere) could not find -d a
seat among
his noble colleagues, and was accommodated
the left hand gallery among the members. Tae,
elegant and commodious chamber
designed by Sir Charles Barry for the great
inquest of the nation was found to be too small
to seat its own members, without making pro-
visions for those of the Upper House. The
result was that M.P.'s of all sizes, ages, and
degrees, were squatting on the floor like South
g
American Indians, their legs extended in all
sorts of uneasy postures, and their heads
resting against a friend's knees or any
other support that could be obtained. At
half-past four o'clock the excitement within the
House was intense—so much so that every fresh
arrival caused a buzz to circulate through the
crowded benches. kr. M'Cann took up a com-
manding yet graceful position exactly in front of
the bar, and in the most condescending and
courteous manner shook hands right and left.
Mr. Vincent Scully arrived late, and was obliged
to take his pensive stand in the gangway at the
Ministerial side, close to the bully form of -Mr;
Edwin James. Mr. Bright arrived early, and
took his usual place, which no one had been
found enterprising enough to usurp. The lead-
ing members of the Opposition were present
almost without an exception. Mr. Disraeli folded
his arms, as is his wont, and looked as immove-
able as a statue. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton
leant forward in the attitude of a man who in-
tended to let no syllable escape him ; while Sir
John Pakington, Lord John Manners, Gen. Peel,
and Lord Stanley, being longer experienced in
official life, endeavoured to look, and perhaps felt,
quite unconcerned about the matter. Mr. SO'
mour Fitzgerald, the late Under Secretary ter
Foreign Affairs, had a bad toothache, and sat
throughout the evening with a pocket handker-
chief to his face, looking extremely miserable
and unhappy. Sir Hugh Cairns was among
those who lost his seat. The honourable and
learned gentleman, however, retreated to the
nisterial gallery, from a corner of which he was
able to see and hear all that passed. At half-
past four o'clock a movement was observed 5t
the bar, and all eyes were turned upon the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, who advanced up the
floor with a small despatch-box, covered wit',
;
red leather, under his arm. The Government
forces set up a cheer as the• right hon. gentle"
man made his appearance. Mr. Gladstone look,e
very well, notwithstanding his recent sere'
indisposition. He took a seat between Mr. Cird..
well and Lord Palmerston ; and having unloo'l
his mysterious little box, drew out a few sheets t's,
letter-paper, all covered with figures a wine gra
and a small glass bottle containing about a gl the
sherry and water. Having placed those Henryt-
table before him, he shook hands with Mr. Il
Herbert, and commenced an animated conversa-
tion with Mr. Sidney Herbert, and others of his
colleagues. Mr. Maguire, the member for Dungan-
van, was the first person who commenced the usual
Friday cross-examination of the Government. The
honourable member asked Lord Palmerston whe-
ther he meant to keep all the correspondence
about Mr. Gladstone's mission to the lonian
Islands to himself or whether he intended to en-
lighten Parliament and the country thereon. Lord
Palmerston jumped up, and having pulled up his #
collar and made himself look brisk, replied that the
Government didn't mean to produce the papers, be-
cause they didn't see the necessity for doing so
All poor they
Maguire therefore got for his pains
was a laugh from the house, and a chuckle of in-
tense satisfaction from the Premier, at having, as
he supposed, floored the leader of the " Indepen-
dent Opposition." Lord J. Russell then made a
brief communication to the Speaker, and walked
to the bar of the House. The Speaker called out,
" Lord John Russell," and everybody said
" Here's the French Treaty." Lord John replied;
"Papers by command of her Majesty," an
deposited the said papers in the hands of the
Clerk of Parliament, who read aloud the endorse'
.ment, " Treaty between her Majesty and tte
Emperor of the French," Somebody next roie
to put a question to somebody else, which nobodi
wanted to hear, and then the Chancellor of the
Exchequer rose and commenced his speech.--
