The Row IN THE BRrIsH PARLIAMENT.-A few
days ago we published an account of a in the
British House of Commons which caused by
call for a division, while a large number of the
members Of the House were in the lobby. On the
call being announced great rush was made for the
door which soon closed. One party, desiring
to keep out their opponents held the door by orce
and for time there was quite serious disturbance,
during which some personal injuries were received
An indignant ''Liberal' writes thus to the editor
of the London Star:
Sir: Whenever scene agitates the House of
"COmmOns" at Washington, we have the Times fix
ing upon it, diating upon it, turning America, its
rulers and its people into ridcule preaching upon
the license of Democracy, and lamenting "the
coarseness of Republican: manners" Well, last
Thursday night there ''scene" at the door of
our own House of Representatives. Youthful no.
bles aud burly Tory squires played to perfection
the roles OF Yankee rowdies and Kansas bues,
roaring with silly laughter, and administering,
are told, playful ''digs in the ribs" TO members
desirOus Of doing their duty to the people of Eng
land-but not a word of remark from the Times.

to take Lord Roberts and his conservative" par
tisans to task for 'goOd humored an ebullitlOn
of legislative playfulness. But suppose the OBJ
structives the lobby door the other night had been
"advanced Liberals" what an indignant howl we
should have heard from Printing House Square
What prophecies too, of the evils to be brought
about by the lowering Of the franchise! ''See," |

we are to expect from this Reform bill; the
'gentemanly' character of our Parliament destroy

roof Of St. Stephen's-W ashington, in fact, where
Westminster lately stood, to the admiration of the
civilized world" The next time the Times describes

Simsbury mine (Newgate PRISON. l23 years ago,
was to day purchased by Alfred $. Robinson, Esq,
of this civ, OF Mr. George winston, OF Sulleiu,

features of the history OF this old coin. The
Higley coppers were the first coins ever
struck in North America, and are now rare,
only three of them, it is said, being in existence
Mr.. Wiston had been offered SO for this
one, by Mr.. Viets, of CRANKY, who claimed
that W had accepted the offer; this, Williston de
MED and law suit the result, and the verdict
was in favor of Williston. The coin is of pure
copper, and the die Is very good and clear. On
the diverse face appears the inscription, "Connec-
tcut, 1737,' in a circle around the representation
of three blacksmiths' hammers or sledgehammers;
the reverse bears the words ''The value of Three
1871, the face of Washington being beautifully
clear and distinct; and Louisiana penny OF 1867,
coined for that colony by France, were also pur-
chased of Mr. WillistOn by Mr.. Robinson. The
