SCENE II THE House OF CoMMoNs.-Not unfre-

National House of Representatives and the Eng

lators. Whether it is true that the dignity and
decorum is all concentrated on the other side of
the water, and all the blackguardsm and rufian-
ism this (as has often been asserted), or 9TH
erwise, may be inferred from the following de-
scripton of scene actually occurring in the

cock was perfect in this that the most
staid and orderly members no longer preserved
their gravity, and the speaker sat down amidst
cheers which, but for what had preceded, would
have seemed eongratulatory applause.

BRITISH STUPIDITy.-The most amusing in
stance of inability to comprehend a joke that
has occurred since an English Quarterly fercely
and seriously denied Byrons assertion that
"rve brbed my grandmam's review, the Brit
ish, is furnished by the late London papers.
They have somehow got hold of Mr.. MOrrissey's
maiden speech, as imagined by the authors of
the clever brochure, Wigwam function. This they
take for genuine oraton, and base thereon fore
bodngs of Americanizing Parliament Their
summary of the speech is very funny -. Mr..
Morrissey has been making most extraordinary
display of himself in the American, Congress.
AS fast as any deputy spoke the pngiist inter-
rupted him with some coarse professional slang.
The House got excited and angry, whereupon
this worthy declared that he wouldR't be hand
ed over to any cuss in the House, and appealed
to the Speaker to prevent him from being crowd
ed to the ropes in that manner. He said be did
not care for any rules of the House, but he
would send up 10 the Speaker the last number OF
Bars Life, with the rules of the 7. R., which ne
hoped the Clerk would read, as also -Ithe foll
score Of the mill between the Stayleybridge
Infant and the Brummagen Chicken This was

Arms"
