The New SPEAKER IN FIX Upon the
meeting of Parliament, the swearing in of
members was pretty brisk in the early part Of
the day, butjas it drew near four o'clock, the
groups that came up to take the oaths and
subscribe the Parliamentary roll grows small
by degrees, until the last one only numbered
three. AS they were introduced to Mr..
Speaker, they passed round by the back of
his chair, and left the house. The last one
who was presented was Mr.. Hume, the mem
Der for Wicklow, and after the formal intro
duction, he staid chatting with the Speaker
for few minutes, and was about leaving the
house, when Sir Denis lie Marchant called
the Speakers attention to the fact that there
was not another member present to move the
adjournment of the house. Mr.. Hume was
accordingly requested to return and do that
kind office for the Speaker, or he would have
been unable to leave the chair until some
honorable member could be procured to re-
lease him. Mr.. Hume at once returned and
taking his stand at the Treasury benches,
said, "Mr. Speaker, 1 move that this house
do now adjourn" There being no member
present to move an amendment on this mo-
ton, it was carried by the mover, and the
Speaker retired.

WAS Texas PART OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE )
Mr.. II. d. Patrick of Texas has found, at
some distance below the surface of the ground,
near Leona, an ancient copper coin, about the
size of cent. The original figures and let
tering on both sides, says the Galveston Ne,os,
have been considerably defaced by the appar.
emit corrosion of ages. On one side, however,
can be plainly seen the word " Caesar on the
outer edge, and over an image much like all
such as we have seen of the Roman emperor
on other ancient coins. There are visible two
or three of the letters of the word Julius"
on the left of Caesar, and on the right some of
the Roman numerals, evidently intended to
show the date, but are too much corroded to
be clearly made out. On the reverse side is
the image of Roman soldier, with shield
in one hand and the other elevated, but so
much defaced that the weapon held is not
Visibe.--N. o. Ptcayune.

had intended before now to have given some de-
script!on doing at least modicum of justice to
the magnificent Panorama of Kanzas and the

has been said elsewhere in regard to its merits as
work Of art TWAS painted by one of the best
artists, from daguerreotypes taken on the spot,
of the various scenes and localities which it por-
trays, with excellent fidelity to the original. To
those who wish to while away pleasantly cou.
pie of hours, and at the same time gather up
fund Of interesting information in regard to mat.
tiers and things pertaining to important events
which have transpired within the last two or
three years in Kanzas, we recommend a visit to
this capital panorama, which will commence
moving, this evening. at eight o'clock, precisely,
at Brnley Hall, A view oft is worth four times
the money expended for it.

Bold HIGHWAY RoBBERY IN CAMBR1DGE.-
Between one and two clock, Monday morn
ing, as Mr.. Leonard Stearns, the well-known
marketer of West Cambridge, was on his way
to Boston, with a loado of produce. and when
in the vicinity of Hovey's Nursery, Old Cam
bridge, he was suddenly stopped by two high
waymen, one of whom grasped the bride and
held the horse, while the other jumped upon
the thills of the wagon and presented pistol
at the head of Mr.. Stearns, with the request
that he would at once hand over his valua-
oles. 10 SO urgent request, Mr.. Stearns
did not think it worth his while to hazard the
consequences Of refusal, and handed to the
robber about nine shillings, the latter, with
rather glum look, inquiring if that was all.
Mr.. Stearns, with all possible politeness,
intimated that it was. The robber desired to
know if he carried watch. Mr.. Stearns re.
piled that he was not possessed of that useful
article The robber then jumped down from
his elevated position, waved his hand to his
accomplice, who released his grasp Of the
bride, and Mr.. Stearns drove on to Boston,
Mr.. Stearns's watch which escaped the no.
tiee of the robber, was worth one hundred
dollars. He had also pocket book contain
ing one hundred dollars. Boston Traveller.
