IMPERIAL PARL ENI

HOUSE OF LORDS.—LAST EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his coat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

The Commons' amendments to the Park Gate Marriages
Bill were eonsiderei 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, 11.3 he considered it would be
unwese to persevere with the amendment that had been
made, because the inure delay that was made in bringing
the bill into operation, the inure 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 ho hoped-it would not
he altered.

Lord CAIRNS said under the circumstances he thought
it would b.) as well if tile data was made the Ist of May,
1871, and he hoped the noble earl would not object to
adopt that in place of the Lt of January, 1872.

The suggestion of Lord Cairns was agreed to.
Earl Cli&N VILLE said there was another amendment
which ho thought was very objectionable, viz., that en-
abling the Irish bishops to retain their seats in the 'Ouse
after the Church of Ireland had been disestablished. He
would not himself move that it bo struck out of the bill,
but if any noble lord made such a motion ho would support

Lord REDESDALE said ho 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 STANIIOPE then moved to insert a clause after
clause 68, the efftct of which was that compensation should
be paid by the commissiorere to the trustees of the Oh-
hervatory at Armagh, as the lease they at present hold of
the Uarlingford 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 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 mails
by the Church body for the ecclesiastical rosid ncos,
glebes, &c.

The Marquis of SALISBURY said that in moving the
amendment he hid contemplated giving glebes as well to
the Roman Catholic and Presbyterian clergy. Ile would
remind the noble marquis that this was the original pro-
posal of Mr. Bright, which had also been endorsed by Mr.
Gladstone. Ile denied that the woposal to allow the Irish
Church to retain its own glebes was unfair.

Earl Glt IN VI LLE said that the retention of the resi-
dences would be the most obvious sign of inequality. lie
pointed out that Mr. Gladstone had carefully guirded
hituself against giving precise pledges on the details of
thi bill. They ought to insist on some, although a mo-
derate, payment for the residences and glebes. If thqy
did not they would maintain the most obvious caus3 of
irritation.

Their lordships divided—
Fur the amendment
Against 9l
Majority against —3s

A clauso was thou submitted by tho Archbishop of
CANTERBURY to authorise the commissioners to pay
L 500,000 on the Ist of May, 1871, 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,

Tho Earl of CLANCARTY gave notice that, on the
third reading, he should move that the bill be read that
day three months. '

Their lor&hips adjourned at 20 minutes past nine.

HOUSE OF CONINIONS.—LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill, the pro-
ceelings were confined to the amendment 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. 11EllBERT mivod th a, in the opinion of this
h3use, the grating. in front of the ladies' g.illery should be
removed.

Mr. L A.YARD oppos3d the motion, and read a letter
from a July dose' ibing i❑ graphic terms the inconveni-
ence which the removal of the grating would entail upon
the occupants of the ladies' gallery, who i❑ that case
would be obliged to "play propriety" during dull speeches,
and be compelled either to come iu eveniug dress or not
at all.
The motion was withdrawn.

In reply to a question from Captain White, who called
attention to the recent charge of furious riding in Hyde-
park,

Mr. BRUCE declined to order an investigation to be
made, on the ground that it was not the duty of the house
to sit in review upon the decisions of the metropo-
litan police magistratos.

The motion for, going into committee of Eupply was
then withdrawn.

Tho orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
Louse 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. Foist, but there being
no bid up to the reserved price (X 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 (•1 yrs); Boston and Chatel-
herault (3 yrs); Bretville, Florion 11., La Trocien, and
Lavandiere (2 yrs).
The following horses have been bought by Mr. W. H.
Manser 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.—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 ago 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 now 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 cloud-like elasticity and
gracefulness of outline; chairs, sumptuous or severe;
elegant whatnots, dainty cheffoniers in buhl or marque-
terie, wardrobes, and other appurtenances for replete
house furnishing. In a matter so impoitaut as this it Le-
comes a duty towards those who seek excellence to direct
them to such good upholsterers as Messrs. E. Russell
and Co., whose furniture possesses all the finish of the
French, the expression cf the Austrian, and the solidity of
the best Eng!ish. We therefore close this brief review by
❑oticing their British, European, and Orient i 1 carpets,
many of the latter being unique in design, in brilliancy of
colour, and iu 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
members of the nobility.—Court Journal.

7HE BET .11. N G-HOUSE PROSEC

BOW-STREET-THIS DAY.

To-day, Mr.Wiiliain Wright, of Brydges-street,
Covent-garden ; Mr. Sydney Smith, Mr Leigh, his
cLrk, of 100, Jermyn-street ; and Mr. Morris, of
the Turf COIIII.III2SIJU Agency, Cork-street, Bur-
lington-garden!, attended before Sir T. Henry, on
remand, charged with infringing the 16th and 17th
Vict., cap. 119, by keeping a betting-house.

It will be recollected that on the list occasion the
proceedings were adjourned in or ler that counsel
for the dCendiuts might agree on a else, the Chief
Magistrate having expres3ed his intention to con-
vict, to be argued in one of the superior courts at
Westminstc r.

Mr. Poland appeared to prosecute on the part of
tha Treasury. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh appeared for
Mr. Wright, Mr. Straight fur Mr. Monis, and Mr.
Merewether for S►nith and Leigh.
Mr. Poland, in addreaing the magistrate, said—
On the last occasion, it woul I 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 cte.arly 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 waull cease
operations, had been honourably observed. They
have suspended :their business, and the question
really now is whether you, Sir 'rhotuas, 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 frinid 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 alsa their legal liability.
Sir T. Henry—Yes, that is the exact paint.
Mr. Sergeant Sleigh-IVe are, as I said before,
very nearly agreed, but we mu3t lay the matter
Lefore 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 dine now, sir,
and I may at the same time s ty, on the part of
Mr. Wright, that the facts should be put as clearly
as possible, that the case shoal I be drawn to raise
the point that his contention before you was erro-
neous.

Sir T. Henry—The cas3 before 1113 is wh3ther
or not he kept an dice 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 T. 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 ac', and whether a tree was not a place.
Mr. Sleigh—Yes ; it was important that the
matter should b 3 decided.

Sir I'. henry—Yes, and the matter was decided
without your being called upon to argue your side
of the case. The first paint was decidel, viz.,
whether a certain structure was a house, and it
was decided it was. The 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 convictiou ?

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 9annot 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 bettor 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 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
£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 ho has not committed any
offence.

Sir T. Henry 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. Uerewether—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,
►night be discharged.

M. Poland— I cannot agree to such a proposal.
as that. Leigh differed in many respects fro►n
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. Mercwether--I
,hope my learnt, I friend
does not mean to ask for judgment against him.
Mr. Poland—No.

Mr. Merewether—Then I cannot ask anything
wore. 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 i.:100 each.
