NEW YUKK HHKALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1878.-TRIPLE SHEET. VIRTUE RAMPANT. The Closing of the London . Argyll Rooms, A DEN OF INFAMY. Homeless Vice Seeks New Pastures. CLERICAL, _DENUNCIATIONS. The Dean and the Cardinal De- nounce the Argyll. Loxpox, Oct. 12, 1878, The argy!l Rooms are doomed. The Middlesex magistrates have met, and after granting a number of masic licen: to various places of popular amuse- ment in London have sternly refused to grant the usual muais and dance license to the Duke’s—that is the Argyll Rooms—in Windmill street, the great gathering place of Loudon women ot questionable character, The Middlesex magistrates have sur- prised their best triends this time, not only in their decision against tne Argyll, >ut thelr per- mission to other places of questionable character, The Sessions House, Westminster, was crowded, Nover since the Tichborne trial had such a large numbor of spectators gathered within its walls. The Oxford Music Hall, the Sun Music Hall, Knights- bridge, the Westminster Royal Aquarium we granted an extension of their licenses, im spite of the opposition of some of the magistrates, Why those were granted licenses, in view of the deci- sion not to grant them to places where prostitutes were known to congregate, is not quite cl The Argy?l, being an old offender, bad but little ghance ef escape, THE QUESTION OF THE DUER’S. The Argyll Rooms have long been a standing dis- grace to London, Of this there can be no question, It was well conducted enough so far as the rooms themselves wore evucerned, but after eiosing hours, when the den used to vomit its scores of whited sepulcnres into the Haymarket, the corner of Pall Mall and Regent street, the orgies began, The mart at the Argyl! Rooms was indecd closed, but the open air bourse then commenced in good earnest. At Nalf-past twelve, all public bars being ciosed in the region, the youth of tie period made his way to tho neighborhood of the Criterion— edalisks of the Duke's, from the Aquarium and from a score of other places assembled—and the many dirty streams of degraded bumanity uniting made the entire region bowl with their orgies, Every night the region which we have described was crowded with prostitutes aad men from midoight until after one, when the streets gradually became quiet, the women leaving with their cempanions for Chelsea and other classic neignborhoods. THE ARCHBISHOP AND THE DEAN. Well, Mr. Poland aud Mr, Godin appouled on behalf of Mr. Bignell fer a renewal of the license for music and dancing to the Argyll Rooms, Great Windmil: street, Haymarket, and Mr, Frith said be bad been instructed by the Messrs, Baxter to appear and support a petition aguinat the renewal of the iideuse, signed by tue Arch- bishop of Westminster, Cardioul Manuing and many Others, and is prayed the Court “not to renew tho lie Gense 40 tho Argyll Reoms, on the ground that it wag a pluce of meeting and resort jor prostitutes of the Worst deseriptiou; that they frequented the rooms in large numbers, seldom arriving belore ele’ e’clook id some fity par apd otuer parishes, Tho potitioners said they tion bad been calied to the Argyll Rooms ang tothe evidence which the police haa given respecting them.
