Mr. ,C. Bathurst, M.P., has called the attention in the House of Commons of Mr. Dudley Ward, M.P. fov Southampton!, as representing the First Commissioner of Works,. to an upheaval which recently took place in the tiled floor of St. Stephens's Chapel, in tho crypt of the Bouso of Commons, in consequence, of tha growth of three mushrooms underneath it. Ho also asked whether it had been ascertained how tho spawn of the mushrooms found its way below the closely laid tiled floor of tlin chapel, and how it was proposed to prevent a similar occurrence in. tho future. Mr. Dudley Ward, 'in a printed reply, said, "The lifting of tiho tiles is probably due to a very slight settlement in tho floor of the chapel. There is no danger to tlie fabric, and tho tiles will bo relaid during tho'.recess."
