the Recent Exposures.
LONDON, July 10.-In the House of
Commons this afternoon Mr.. Albert H.G.
Grey, Liberal member of South North
cumberland, in accordance with his notice
OF yesterday, asked Sir Richard Assheton
Gross, home secretary, whether he could
assure the house that the government had
given orders TO the police to do their ut
most 10 suppress the denominations in
London revealed by the Pail Mall Gazette.
The home secretary replied that the po-
lice would use every exertion to suppress
the alleged practices. The existing law,
supplemented by the criminal law amend
ment bill, would suffice TO bring to Justice
the perpetrators of such denominations.
The excitement over the Pal Mall
Gdsette's revelations continues without
abatement. The windows and doorways
of the Gdsette's publication office are bar
ricaded, and police are in control of the
surrounding mobs. The Gazette says that

about the progress of its exposures. Car

tion made by the proprietors of the Pal

and detail to party Of responsible men,

privilege of reporting TO the public upon
the affair as they may deem best.
The Pail Mall Gazette, in an editorial
commenting ON the results of its revela-
tons, declares that its trumpet blast has
reused the world. No word was raised
yesterday in the churches against us, u
continued the paper, "but all the forces
of wickedness in high places are arrayed
against us. The Hon. w, II. Smith Il
Sons, possessing the monopoly of the
news stands ON the railway system OF
England, have suppressed their sales OF
the Pal Mall Gazette. The Prince OF
Wales has stopped his paper. The Rt!
Hon. Mr.. Bentinck is posing in Parlia-
ment in the name of Outraged morality,
and clamors for our extinction. The
GaSette did not undertake this inquiry 10
unearth the vices of the great but, if we
are driven to bay, we will be compelled
by the action of the assailants to speak
out and spare not"
