Gossip Called "seorst History.

Gossip Called Secret History"
The New York correspondent of the
Boston Post writes, in late letter:
A bit Of secret history connected with
the Trent affair which we all remember
as one OF the most exciting episodes Of
the late war-has just been ventilated
here, under auspices so authentic as to
justify its publication in this correspon-
dence The seizure Of Mason and Sill
dell, the rebel eGissaries, by Commodore
Wilkes, from under the very nose Of the
British lion, naturally worked upon the
feelings Of John Bull to ieyerish degree.
In consonance with the popular senti-
ment over there, Lord Palmerston, gloat-
ing over the apparent weakness and
prospective dismemberment Of the great
republic, made haste to indite a savage
demand for the release Of the two South
erners, couched in that most naughty and
insolent siylc which he was wont to as
sumo where he had reason TO expect no
resistance. The story goes that he read
the document when fresh FROM his pen
to some lady guests, who we're staying at
his house, and Of course received their
profuse eulogies upon it as being just the
proper thing to send. He then hurried
of to Windsor Castle to go through what
he considered simply the formula Of sub

The Chicago Times says one Of the
most hopeful indications of the result Of
the approaching election in Illinois is to
be found in the fact that the Radical

The great Conservative gains in Indiana
have suddenly awakened them to real
iziug sense of their danger They per
ceive from the results in that State, how
narrow was their escape from a Water

that had the opposition possessed the
gift of provision, that which was barely
an escape from defeat would have been

The result in Indiana has given to the
Conservatives in Illinois the information
most useful to them in the contest II

little more effort be made in the right
direction.

THE TWO HOUSES.

A letter-writer in the Independent
newspaper of New York, in describing a
session of the English House Of Com
mons, says
Bat the strange thing about House of
Commons civility is, that when any mem
Der ceases 10 speak, subsidies from his in
divdual responsibility into the general
mas, instead of being any longer the in
carna,ion OF courtesy, he may, without
violating any law or habit OF the House,
become instantly the incarnation Of dis
courtesy. Standing, he must observe the
gracious amenities Of debate sitting, he
may do what he likes. Standing, he must
not breathe shadow of suspicion against
his antagonist sitting, he may below at
his antagonist, bray at him, bark at him,
new at him, squeal at him, crow at him,
whistle at him, laugh aloud at him.
Standing, he must illustrate the manners
Of an English gentleman sitting, he is
at perfect liberty to illustrate the man
ners of ruffian, q COW, a cat, "a dog, an
ass, South Sea islander or baboon.
A Western Democratic paper thus
comments on the above The chief diff
ference between the Black Republican
members of Congress and the offending
British members of the House Of Com
mons is that the latter only make asses
and balloons of themselves in sitting,
while the former, as a general thing, are
both these animals, sitting and standing.
1t may be disreputable for an English
gentleman to bray like an ass when off
his feet, but we cannot see that this is
more offensive than the same thing being
done by q WAsHBURyE on his feel"
