VICTORIA PARK.

Mr. ()OWPER asked whether it was truo that a public-

home for the sale of "spiritttais—(lotti langhter)-110°I
was to be erected in this park ?

Mr. LATARD said he was glad to answer the question
The working classes resorted to the park in great Duo'
Lers, and he thought it would be an advantage if tbd
could get something better than the sour ginger beer
and stale buns which were now the only things they con
obtain. He had therefore thought it desiab!e to have
house in the park at which they could get some sub'
stautial refreshment without going to the low pot-houses
which abOunded in the neighbourhood. He had take;
precautions that would effectually prevent tke sale
"spiritual " (laughter)—liquors.
IRISH CHURCH BILL.

The house then proceeded to consider the new clauses
proposed to be inserted in tho bill.

Sir R. PALMER moved a clause providing that the An'
nuities granted under the Act shall 11,,t be forfeited becalo
the annuitants do not consent to alterations which mat
made in the Articles of the Church.

Mr. BALL supported the proposition.
Mr. GLADSTONE suggested that the point should
left to the House of Lords to settle, to which Sir R. Pslol
agreed.

-Various unimportant alterations wore made, and th°
third reading was fixed fur May 31, Mr. Gladstone es
plaining that it would be necessary to recommit the bill t°
introduce a stamp clause.
drn
The house then went into Committee of Ways -
Means on the postponed Budget resolutions.
The complicated details of the resolutions were ttna°f
discussion until after midnight. Various srggestions
made to modify the proposed duties on servants, carriage°
and armorial bearings, but none of them were pressed°
a division. In the end the resolutions were agreed t°;
with no alteration but one proposed by the Chancellore'
the Exchequer, raising the weight of the four-wheelerg,
under the 15s. duty, from 3cwt. to 4cwt.
The house adjourned at five minutes past one o'cloc)
until Thursday, the 27th.
