The carpet is a rich green and black, and the
cushions are green The finish is brown ash,
elaborately trimmed with black walnut. Around
the gallery front, however, good effect is
given by allowing the black walnut to predomi-
nate and trimming with a zig-zag molding of
the light colored wood, which otherwheres
forms the ground color The galleries have
stairs leading up to them in each corner Of the
house.
The vestry was described by us at the time
the society opened it for worship last January

furnished with every convenience, aud on the
right by room for the choir from which a
staircase leads to the singers gallery. There
are rooms in the rear of the vestry for all pur-

THE WEATHER.-A very severe thunder
storm passed over Connecticut, last evening.
The lightning flashed into the telegraph office
at Plainfeld, with a loud report, setting fire to
the papers, affecting the operator, and several
other persons in the depot, almost producing a
conhagration.
On the summit of Mt. Washington, yesterday,
it was clear most of the day. At four p. NJ,
clouds began to dive over the mountain, but at
night it was clear on the summit again, and
heavy cumulus clouds filled all the gorges north
and east, while to the southeast the clouds were
black and heavy.
According to the synopsis for Yesterday fur
nished by our Washington dispatches the
barometer continued to fall on the Pacific coast
during the day, with increasing cloudiness; it
fell at the Rocky Mountain stations, with
rapid increase. The temperature rose from Min
nesota to Texas, with fresh north and northwest
winds. Clouds and light rain very generally
prevailed on the lakes, although it partially
cleared away Friday morning on Ontario and
Erie. The clear weather Thursday night in the
middle and gulf states was followed by an in
creased temperature and partial cloudiness, with
fresh northwest and southwest winds. 1t is
probable that an increased pressure, with clear
ing up weather, will be experienced to-day on
the lakes and in the eastern states, and partially
cloudy and clear weather on the south Atlantic
and gulf states
The storm OF the nth was general throughout
California, and accompanied by thunder and
lightning in localities where no such phenomena

Haven Moderator, of a probable mistake in the
fourth ward count, giving 100 too many for
English, and from Enfield of twenty-four too
many for English. These statements will go to
the legislature, and, if mistake is shown there,
as claimed to be, Jewell will be declared gov
ernor by about ninety majority over ALL OF the
other state officers, Morris Tyler, republican, is
elected lieutenant governor by 1872 majority;
David P. Nichols, republican, treasurer, by 256
majority, Owing to informality in the returns
and incorrectly spelled ballots, the canvassers
cannot declare that any one has majority for
secretary of state or comptroller. The egisla-
ture will, however, elect Hiram Appelman Sec
rotary of state, and James w. Manning comp
troller, both republicans. The votes manifestly
intended for them would give Aopelman 161
majority and Manning $50.

TRINITY CHURcH.-This church edifice,
which is so nearly completed, and will be dedi-
Gated next Tuesday, is entirely different in its
interior arrangement and finish from any other
church in the city Or in the county; and in
beauty it is not exceed in fact it may be
called the handsomest church inside the city,
with due allowance for those whose tastes lead
them to admire other styles of architecture
1t was begun in May, II, nearly year ago,
and will cost 100000. The outside appearance
is so familiar to all our citizens that descrip-
ton here is unnecessary; for in passing along
Main street by the corner of Chandler, its brick
walls, trimmed with olive freestone, could not
escape attention, from the time of the laying of
the corner stone on the 18th of last July, till
the tip of the spire, 1877 feet from the ground,
was put on. 1t has two large entrances by arch
ed doorways on Main street. which lead into
the spacious vestibule, five large windows in
the center front, and one above each
door, the gothic style being not once
lost sight of even in the tips and
turnings OF simplest detail. There is also an
entrance from the Chandler street side, back at
the rear north corner, which leads into the YES
luIOuRH an ShLlJ mum hhlSh a. obhlltdsS
leads up into the rooms for the pastor and the
choir Thz church lot has a front of eighty-siX
feet on Main street, and depth of 156 feet, the
church itself being 1903 feet in length and eighty
three feet wide at the transepts.
The audience room, entered by four doors
from landing reached by broad stairs in the
vestlbule, is finished ffty-nine feet high at the
point of the roof, the steepest part of which is
frescoed with dark blue, over which gilt stars
are thiclly scattered; the gradually sloping part
of the ceiling over the galleries is colored blue
also, but OF much lighter shade. The cross
beams supporting the roof are likewise finished
in blue, with light stripes. These are four in
number, and from each end a star gas let de-
ponds. There is also a row of burners under the
galleries. The windows are of beautiful stained
glass, in whose acknowledged panes nearly
every tint is discernible, although the four
on either side are given each a pre-
dominating hue by the outside row of
lights: the first blue, the second ORANGE
the third a delicate green, and the ofIes
opposite the platform brilliant red. There is
in the north gable large circular window
around which are the words, 'Let thy priests
be clothed with righteousness; and let thy
SAINTS shout for Joy" but this is partly hidden
by the large organ, which, by the way Mr..
Moore, the builder, was putting up yesterday.
The speakers platform is only raised few
feet from the floor, with a carved railing in
front and having black walnut desk, directly
in front of the organ; the stand for singers,
which intervenes, being raised a few feet higher,
although not brought up to the gallery level.
The room will seat fourteen hundred people, the
seats being arranged in semi-circle, with no
division except by the arms There are four
aisles, two in the body and one on each side

PARLIAMENT.
LONDON, April 21.-In the house of commons
last night, the chancellor of the eXchequer, in
continuation of his exposition of the budget,
said that in order to produce similar results to
those attained in the United States he proposed
TO place half-penny stamp on each box con-
tanning 100 matches, while still higher rate will
be imposed on waX-lights. He estimated the re-
suit of this means of taxation at $500
Mr.. Lowe then estimated the result of the with
drawal of certain exemptions from taxation, as
on dividends and on stocks belonging to for
eigners and held abroad, and the imposition of
further duties on legacies and SUGGESTIONS, pro-
portioned 10 the amount of f630,000 The re-
mainder of the deficiency IN the revenue was to
be had from the increase of the tax on incomes,
by which the receipts of the government would
be raised to the amount required TO meet the eX-
pendituIes of the fiscal year-seventy-two mill
lion pounds sterling Mr.. Lowe, at the conclu-
sion of his remarks, was greeted by cheers of the
ministerialists. A running debate followed
which was generally hostile to the budget, after
which division of the house was demanded on
the watch duty, and the vote resulted in ma
jority of 157 for the government.
The lords tonight passed the mutiny bill.
In the commons, several members gave notice
of motions adverse to Mr.. loves financial
plans.
The subject of the declaration of Paris of
1856 against privateering and establishing the
principle that a neutral flag covers an enemy's
goods, came up. Mr.. bentlnck argued in favor
Of a withdrawal Of England from the agree
ment, and advocated the resumption of the
right of search. He believed the United States
and other powers would disregard the declara-
ton in case of war.
Sir Rounded Palmer, Stephen Cane and 9TH
ers spoke TO the same effect.
The attorney general replied, defending the
Paris declaration. He said it was impossible to
escape its obligations.
Disraeli lamented that the subject had not
been introduced earlier, so it might be brought
to the attention OF the recent conference of
powers in London. 1t was agreed that the
declaration was injurious to England. 1t must
be respected until formally revoked.
Mr.. Gladstone insisted that the declaration
was binding, and its revocation is not to be
thought of.
The subject was dropped.
