SCENE AND A SUSPENSION.
A laet ,(Friday) niglat'a London cable

Mr. Lebouchere spoke to his motion of
Inquiry into the Cleveland etreet scandal.
He alleged that the case presented an
of:renal attempt to defeat justice. He de.

rment. The Tressury cfficials, heving full
knowledge of the whole affair, had refrained
trom proseoeting Newlove and Veck until
Sir Stevenson Blackwood, Secretary of the
Postoffice, had insisted upon taking action
against hie own subordinates, the postal
lemployeee involved. Then, finding them -
elves compelled to prosecute these two
men, the Treaeury officiale determined to
'prevent the exposure from going any
lurthereand tried to hush it all up. 'When
Hammond fled the police proposed to
secure his extradition from Belgium, where
*hey had him watched. Both the Chief of
Police and the Secretary of the Post.offeee
urged the Government to obtain hie extra-
dition. The extradition could have readily
been obtained. But Lord Salisbury,
through a Treasury official, wrote that he
could not aek for the extradition. Lord
Salisbury certainly knew the treaty with
•Belgium covered the offence alleged against
Hammond. Hemmond learned he was
watched in Belgium and hurried to Amer-
'iO3, end in ell this as to information and
etherwise he wee assieted by Mr. Newton,
the solicitor of Lord Arthur Somerset,
The object of the Government was obvi-
eenaly to hunt Hammond beyond the range
of extradition, that being regarded as the
teat plan for preventing revelations affect-
, ing oertain personages. (Oppoeition cheeren
When Monroe, Chief of Police, reported to
the Treaeury the evidence in the hands of
the police, involving Lord Somerset and
others, the Treaenry ordered the police to
desist from watohing the cam, and Lord
Somerset obtained at the Horse Guarde
foes months' leave of absence to enable
him to quit the country. But he did rnot
quit the country. He appeared at the
funeral of his grandmother, the Dowager
Duchess of Beaufort. LieuteGenerel Sir
Dighton Probyn,a prominent member of the
household of the Prince of Wales, informed
Lord Salisbury of thie. Lord Salisbury
stated that & warrant to take him into
'custody would be issued, but he mused this
decision to become known to Lord -Somer.

this information wes conveyed to Somer-
set. Thereupon Somerset fled. Somerset
was not only allowed to resign and leave
the army honorably, but he is Mill a
anegietrete for two counties. aLenghtern
Moreover he did not hide himself. He went
to Pere openly and &eked for a place at the
court of the Sultan. Two men are now in
prison for their part in these scandalous
occurrences. But they are poor and
obscure; their highly -placed confederate is
unmolested. The Government took care
tbat the warrant for his apprehension
should not be issued till be was out of the
country. (Cheers end Miaaieteriannola'sln)
Mr. Labouchere said bier °barge was plain
enough. It was that Lord Salisbury and
others criminally conspired to defeat the
ends of justice. Therefore he asked that
the committee inquire into his allegations.
(Laughter and cheers.) He trussed that
the Government, whatever their defence,
would not put up a lawyer with sa brief in
bis hand to defend there by epeeist plead.
ing end evasive chicanery. hintLabouchere
then withdrew his motion.
Attorney•Generel W,ebeter said he be-
lieved the House would agree there was not
a, shadow of foandetion for these disgrace-
ful charges. It was rtheurd lo suppose that
Lord Salieburyor the Treaeuryofficials could
have any interest in retarding the prose-
cution in this man The procedure in feat
took the usual course. When the evi.
detleel \VW, all in, it was first collated with
ViOW to the CaS8 against Somerset. The
opinion of the Lord Chancellor was then
taken, and this opinion was that she evi-
dence was insuffirment to justify preeeon-
Con. Subsequently additional evidence
was obtained, and this rendered the iesae
of a warrant advisable, but he had authority
to Ante that Sir Dighton Probyn, after his
interview with Lord Salisbury, on this sub-
ject, neither saw nor communicated with
Somerset, either ,directly, or Indirectly.
Neither had Lord Flensburg any knowledge
of Somerset's movements to avoid the ser-
vice of the warrant. Mr. Labonchere's
story that Lord Salisbury informed Sir
Dighton Proldyn that a warrant was about
to be issued Wes mere goseip:
Mr. Lebotiohere'- interrupting; offered to
write the name of his informant on a slip
of paper end put the elle., of. .paper inte

He himself had directanthority to -contra-

The Chairman hetet requested thenteritle.
man to withdraw, the words calling into
question the verapity of the Premier.. ,
Mr. Lebouchere declined to withdrew
the words and the Premier named him for
ertapension, and called upon the Home
to adjndge upon the condnot of the
member.
'Upon division the suspension was carried
by l2,7 to 96. ,
Mr. Lebonohere, in leaving the House,
said he regretted the fact, bat his con-
science would not allow him to say that he
believed Lord Saliebury's denials. (Cheere
from the Parnell party.
Mr. Morley suggested that this enbject
be dropped, and the House proceed to other
badness.
Mr. W. H. Smith demanded that the
House should express an opinion on the
motion notwithetending its withdrawal,
and should say the motion wee improper
and the chargee false.
The vote against Mr. Lebonohenne
motion was 163 to 80.
The Chairman then put Mr. Lebonehereh

GLADSTONE'S AMENDMENT.

8PBE011. OP THE- GRAND OLD ta.AN.
A last (Mona)) eight's London cable
Eta: Mr. W. IL Smith moved the
adoption of the report on the Parnell
Commission. He coneidered Oast the
course proposed would do absolute justice
to the naembere, whose conduct had been
impugned, and to all persons included in
the allegations of the newspeper whioh had
pnbliehed the charges. (Ironical Irish
cheers.) Was there eny one in the House
who did not wieh to me justice done even
to that newspaper? (Cheers) There were
certain features of the publication whist
were deeply to be deplored, but other accu-
sations were justified by the report. It was
a unique report—(Opposition laughter)—
but the impartiality of the jadges had been
acknowledged by the accused members,
whose acquittal from personal °bargee he
thought a Eubjeot for hearty congratulation.
Regarding the commiseson's nutting certain
reepondente guilty of conspiracy, the Gov-
ernment might be asked vsby it did not
take action thereon. He held that it was
no part of the intention of the G-overnmeet
to constitute a commission With the view
to indicting punishment upon the Par.
nellites, (Groane and laughter from the
Opp oration.)
ME. INLAD8TONN'3 AMENDMENT.
Mr. Gladstone moved the amendment
announced by Mr. Motley, February 24th,
deolaring "that the House reprobates the
charges based upon calumny that have been
made againee membere of the House, and
while expressing satisfecition at the ex-
posure made of evil•doere, regrets the wrong
inflioted and the suffering and wrong en-
dured through those acts of flagrant in-
iquity." Mr. Gladetone said he desired to
avoid party recrimination If the Govern-
ment motion had been sufficient to do jag.
;ice to the members impugned be would
have been ready to eupport it. But it Wae
utterly insuffloient. It failed to represent
the sense of opinion which the House and
the country had formed upon the commie-
eion's report. Although helelt it to be his
duty to oritioise freely BOUM) of the judges'
-statements, he believed there was not a line
of the report that was not written in honor
.and good faith. (Cheers.) Was it, he
-asked, ever before proposed to a delibera-
tive body that they ,thould accept in a
lump a report of 160 folio pages bristling
with controversial 'mater? In what
respeot had the the three judges of
the commission more weight and
authority than other experienced men
iin deciding how far crime was dee to
the League and how far to oppressive
evictions? The commiseion's report
touched these and other questions long
debated politically by men as capatae of
deciding thereon as the judges who con-
stituted the commission. As an instance
of their dieproportionate and unbalanced
'judgment, the ledges had unearthed an
obscure paper, thelTrishntan, filling several
pages of their report with extreote there-
from, which had been termed be Arch-

A last (Wednescley) nighth Ottawa de,

Dioltei presiding, Evidence was heard in
two oases The first was the application
of Chrietine Filmset Glover, for divorce
from her hueband, Chrietoplier Columbus
Glover, on the ground of adultery. Mr.
Gemmill, Ottawa, and Mr. Lazier, of Elam-
ilton, appeared for the eetittoner. The re-
spondent was not preeent nor was he
repreeented by conned. The evidenoe
showed that the petitioner was wronged
by Glover before their marriage. The

he maintained that the denial of the moral
authority, of the union was in Irish-
men no morel aflame whatever. (Cheers.)
Further, the report said that theninernellites
by their speeches had invited intimidation,
whioh had led to crime, and that they hall
not assisted in maintaining order by de-
nouncing the Aly:mites of physical force.
These charges were ten years old. It was
a bad and dengerons precedent to reour to
them long dates ,in order to obtain matter
to hurl at the heads of politicalantagonists.
(Hear, hear.) Let the llouse coneider what
counter allegations ought to be made in F
behalf of the Iernellites. Did not the
Tories themselthe think something could
be mid in behalf of Mr. Parnell's polioy
when Lord Carnarvon, with the assent of
'Lord Salisbury, asked Mr. Parnell to devise

DENEFICIALANBULTS IN INMAN° ?
(Hear, hear.) Had they ever heard of great
revolutionary changes.brought about in the
condition of a nation without the doing of
anything contrary to, law and order?
eChangea had already taken' place in Ire-
land, and reforme were impending Which
owed their impetus to the Parnellitee.
.These reforms wooed 'be accomplished
without violence largely' through the wise
and oonstitutionel methods of the Irish
party. The report said nothing of them
matters. Perhaps the judges felt thee it
was no part of their deity to refer to them.

the.arnendment an expression of thanks to
thescommiesionnbecause it was hazardous
-and ,nnprecedented to sander thenlie for
the performance of a judicial duty. Mr.
Gledatone further said that m asking the
House to give full effect the &unhurt' of
Mr. 'Parnell on all serious charges he
would have the 'members remotion
the ittfamy of the esousations. If
these aCOUSatiOLUI had been proved,
Mr. Parnell would have been branded
as an awassin, a ,coward, ,a liar, and a
hypocrite. The charges were not made at
random ; they were made with a solemn
anurance that they had beeresubjeeted to
the most careful eortitiny. For al long time
Mr. Parnell had stood thug pilloried before
the country. Was net full reparation due
him ? The opinion expressed in the
amendment was scant enough reparation,

He declared nothing was affirnied against
the Parnellities now but whet had been
affirmed by Mr. Forster and himself when
they were in office. " Why," he continued,
"ltd you not condemn there then ? I will
tell you why. The Liberele thought the
charges were sibjecte for debate. Was
the Tory idea more severe? No. The
Tory ides was that these Men were quite
good enough to associate with for political
eourposes. The Tories rode into power upon
Mr. Penner(' shoulders. Now they for-
sake hitt ited seek by. a vote of the House
to cetidemn sots and policy, the whole

and a large bonnet with a white veil tied
over it. Her daughters were with her.

I am glad to AMA that, if the feet of
Sevillien women reside were so monetrouely

It is discouraging to .eee a man like Gentler
fall into the vulgar error of fancying that,
because a small foot is a thing of beauty,
therefore the ermines the foot the more
beautiful it meet be.
Beauty of feet, halide and waiete is a
matter of proportion, not of absolute size,
and too smelt feet, hands and waists are
not beeutif al but ugly. We might de well
argue that since a man's foot °tight to be

If the Andalusien women • really had
feet so small that a baby might hold them
in its hand they would not be able to walk
at ell, or, at least, not gracefully. But it
is precisely their graceful gait and carriage
for which they are most famed' and ad-
