( CopwrfoW 1P89 b\i \ Jama Oonton Uenntti. ) Ltmio.v , July 30. [ Now York Herald Cable Special to THE Bnc. ] There was i marked difference In the appearance of the bouse when it met this afternoon. Scats tvero plentiful except In the parts allotted to Uraugcrs , which were all crowded. The peers did not care to como down to hoar Mr. Uradlaugh , although they flocked In in such numbers us to ovorflow-tholr limited space , rholiullus'gnllurlcs were lllled.among the fair visitors being the duchess of Murlborough , Who was anxious to hoar her brother-in-law , Lord Randolph Churchill , for the flrf > t tlmo. The duke of Murlborough , In the opposite gallery , was also ono of the early arrivals. While Mr. Bradlaugh was speaking the bouse filled very slowly. The junior mem ber from Northampton has long made a study of tha cost of monarchy in this coun try. Ho came this afternoon to impart in formation , but before the dinner hour It was his lot to receive a good deal more than ho gave or bargained for. Mr. Bradlaugti Is so clever a man that It might well have been supposed tllat ho would take warning by the lessons afforded by the examples of Mr. Lnbouchero ana Mr. Storey last night. These two worthy gentlemen over loaded their speeches with masses of matter which no ordinary audience could bo expected to digest. Bnidlaugh full into tti B3tno pit. Ho had got up n great case , but. Bomo of It rested on doubtful law , and the re sult was that ho had the pleasure of seeing n good deal of it knocked to pieces ultogcthcr. lie labored heavily this afternoon and came vary near losing the attention of his au dience altogether. It wns bruited about that Randolph was going to speak , and the house became densely packed , ns usual when this is the caso. The members were compelled to take refuge in- Bide the galleries provided for them. There begins to attach to Lord Randolph some sort of the interest which used to hang around Mr. Disraeli. Ho stimulates curiosity and compels attention. Some may dislike him n good many do for ha is too brilliant nnd too successful to please the medio- crltes , but , like him or dislike him , you must listen to him. Ho always has an original way * of putting things , and is sure to strike some flro out of the dullest discussion. So It was to-day. Thrro was at first a silence when ho rose , followed after a moment's ' hesitation by chcors from his own sido. They have bo- coma an unwonted souud in his ours. Ho jocosely intimated that it was so loug since lie bad addressed the house that ho was almost .entitled to uslc for the indul gence which ,1s invariably extended to nuw 'members. This brought vit a warmer cheer. Thus lightly and cheerfully starting off , ho was soon in the middle of bis subject , the whole house following him with the deepest interest. Lord Randolph was very soon launching some playful but trench- cut sarcasms in the direction of Mr. Brad- laugh. Undoubtedly Bradlaugb has bceu in D goqd many lawsuits , but it docs not make a 'man u first rate lawyer. Lord Randolph gently Intimated that oven the study of tlio moat "mischievous book In the world , " "ovcry man his own lawyer , would not do ; that ho pleaded for u little iD. more merciful treatment for the tory party. "Do not lecture us quite so much ; pivo us III < the credit of knowing nt least enough to understand you. " All this was received by the houso'with much chuckling and gloating , BES.1 and it will do Mr. Br.vllaugh no harm if it it/at cures him of the pedagogic manner of which * > t Lord Randolph justly complained. With the trs.1 Imntor which played like summer lightning VeitJ nround the stalwart form of Mr , Brad- laugh was mixed u good deal of solid Mlotu. fact and argument. Presently came little tioniT Mr. Pli-ton's turn. Hejbad talked darkly of terrible . Ho had hinted < H > k a cantastropho. oven JTIOB lilt EM like Mr. Toots , of blood. This , from n In. ) gentleman under five feet In height , cer- atrotS tulnly has u somewhat ludicrous sound. S Lord Randolph convulsed the house by knocking Mr. PIcton down with wordi etlilt longer tlmu himself. Ho had delivered a Allortx otltiv necromantic , geomantlc , thoumaturglo .ovr speech , and ns thono hoiwy missies l or Hew arouned the bewildered Mr , P'lcton's bead , Lord. 'Randolph drew a fearful picture of the good little man loading the mob of Leicester out to resolution nnd cntastrophics , amid the laughter of his friends as well as of tlio tones. A few min utOT more and Labouohoro came up for gen eral derision. "Ho apucars to have went infer for cheap ] acc republicanism and a general nttomut to bring the throne and all who were near or around It into disrepute. " Scarcely anybody who had spoken yesterday escaped Mr. Story came In for heavy punish ment. Altogether , a more dashing am Blushing speech was never delivered in the house of commons , even by Lord Randolph. And how the lories cheered. They always do when their prejudices or tastes are skill fully appealed to. Anybody might have thought that Lord Randolph Imd at his buck the entire tory party. It Included mon when lio'Jmn helped to ofllco and who bear un uu dying grudgd ngamst him. As far as the solid part of the speech , it will no doubt bo well wolgnod by the coun rue. * * try. Some remarkable very figures [ Ulzzt. were pro ; i . duccd as to the amount spent at Sandrlghiim lon'ft by the Prince of Wales In building dwellings flog fa for the poor und improving the state of the Cieath. i people all nround him. Also some still mon tower - remarkable figures as to the coat of u mon prmat- n.Holf- nroli In this country. Distributed over the JltUltt iboxe * * whole population it amounts to U farthings Tprlcft. per head. "Will you shed rlvora of blood ( B3 for that ! " naked Lord Randolph of Mr. Plo- rodbr tun , wiio wusstlll too ooufusod by the bur- 'ia fotmg ho had received to make liny reply. Undoubtedly the speech was a great parlia mentary hit. Among the very first men who run up to Lord Randolph in the lobby and poured over him n torrent of flowery and gushIng - Ing congratulations was Sir John Pule.ston ; "Splendid , delightful , beautiful , " so the torrent rushed un. But what Sir John said OOD ] In private may ba another and very different matter. ounf. Lord Randolph walked on recardless of both styles of comment A tremendous ox- odua followed the conclusion of lull speech. At 8 o'clock there were not ton persons in the house , wlion somebody suggested a count by wuy of brine ing back the hungry mon who had ruMiod oft for dinner. For two hours the ( uuil. imall fry and radicals had the field to them- ' Mlves , but they did not clean much from it. I LI li'li- Mr , Lawson , son of the proprietor of thu Daily Telcffrajih , thou made an onslaught ii'C upon Mr. Labouchoro's amendment , greatly to the disgust of his usual friends and neigh bors on radical benches. After him came Lord Hnrtlnglon with n weighty and forcible speech , nnd then an other Lawson , Wilfred , the professional humorist ef his party. Ho alternately amused and irritated the house. Ono or two unKltid digs at Mr. Chamberlain made everybody laugh. Ho quoted from a letter written by Mr. Chamberlain when mayor of Blrmlng- ham.on the occasion of ttio visit of the Prince of Wales some years ago , in willed the prince was compared to the Tlctibourno claimant. Thcso are curses that como homo roost. Mr. Chamberlain had probably forgotten all about the insult which ho had leveled at the prince , just as the prince has iloubtloss forgiven It. Sir Wilfred also boasts that the flower of the liberal party would follow Mr. Labouchoro into the lobby n the coming division , at which Gladstone smiled faintly. Is it not a little odd to too the radical party clthor mooring openly nt the grand old man , or flatly contradicting him , or doing their utmost to brine him into derision ) Decidedly. The future radical loader , who ever ho may be , will have no enviable task before him to reconcile discordant factions. The speeches of the night were these of Lord Randolph Churchill and of Lord Hart- Ington. Add Mr. Gladstone , nud wo have all the contributions to the two nights debate wtilch will bo worth referring to hereafter. Mr. Goschcn wound up the discussion with out throwing any now light upon it. Mr. Lincoln , the United States minister , nnd Mr. Chauncoy Depow were in the diplo matic gallery during : the evening. What did Mr. Depow think of Sir Wilfred Lawson ns a Jokistl Is ho prepared to strlko his colors as ono of the wittiest of Americans to u man of water and words ! Anyhow , with great generosity , ho laughed occasionally nt Sir Wilfred's offorts-unloss It wns at Sir Wil fred himself a very delicate point to dccido. PRINOKSS LOUISIS'B I-HJ3SENT8. Almost n Million Dollnra Worth or Magnificent O ftt. [ Copj/rffl/it / / ; BS9 lij ; James Onnlnn ncimctt. ) LONDON , July 20. [ Now York Herald Cable Special to TUB BGR. ] The view of Princess Louise's wedding presents took place at Maryborough House this morning. Tlio urand dintnc room presented a sight such ns Marlborongh House never saw before fore and such as has rarely been seen any- wtiero. It was a spacious curiosity shop , a storehouse of bric-a-brac and gems , which at first quite dazzloa the unprepared observer and loft him for quite u time so nonplussed that a concrete study of the valuable offer ings had to wait , for recovery from a general effect that was rather stunaing. The largo gifts were massed at ran dom about the room. They con sisted of n grand piano from Ludy Leicester , inlaid writing desk , all kinds of screens In metal , embroidery , mir rors und gold ornamentation , largo gold and silver trays , shields , bowls , cups , gold tea sets , gold vases , busts , oto. , oil paintings , fancy furnltui e , rugs , bronzes , flower stands and porcelain. They were passed over in a second , however - over , in favor of a long table running the length of the apartment , covered with smaller and more precious gifts so thickly that the white cloth was scarcely to bo seen. Tlio left hand side of the table for half its length blazed with diamonds and all the most precious stones. It was a confused mass of tiaras , necklaces , bracelets , pendants , brooches and ear-rings , representing the most valuatilo stones that the world's marKet could furnish. There were diamonds enough to comfortably equip a royal line jeweler. An expert who was present , after a careful estimate of the entire display , esti mated the gifts in the precious stones alone at between 100,000 and 200,000. The flrst 50,000 of tills was made by the presents of Lord Fife , the Rothschilds ana the Prince and Princess of Waleswhile the largo num ber of fancy stones representing values made the total estimate seem small rather than largo. Lord Fife's present to the bride consisted of u tiara and two necklaces. The tiara was a mass of diamonds , aline of large pear- shaped stones running nround its entire frontChanging and shimmering in pear shaped openings. About the tnrco on top was a line of diamonds , the point consisting of pear-shaped diamonds.

The neck laces wcro together in the name casket. The largest was a string of the purest diamonds , the smallest being the size of a pea and the largest , along the front , as largo us a six pence. The inner necklace was of smaller blucstono nnd gem diamonds , so rare and so perfc'ct that the small necklace urobnbly vied with the larger one in value. Tlio tiara from the Prince and Princess of Wales was in narrow lanco-sliapod beads of diamonds , striking from its simplicity and its brilliancy. It can bo turned over and becomes - comes u pendant necklace. It is two inches deep In trie center and Is graduated off to a depth of half an inch on each side. The or naments are pear-shaped , alternated with little spike * containing smaller brilliants , and the central one contains nine stones , while .the end ones con tain only three , and the whole is mounted on n row of single stones.

Two of the most valuable single stones iu the col lection were n lane cabochou ruby , from tlio Duke and Duchess of Westminster , and Burmese cat's eye , from Lord nud. Lady Rothschild. How many thousands of guineas each cost must have depended on the desire of tlio purchaser and , the conscience of the seller , UK either would bo difficult , if not Im possible , to match. The ruby was set simply u ft pendant surrounded by diamond and a bljr cat's eye , which was a luminous .ball o ! yellowish green flro shining out most prominently.
