lord BURY ATTACKS CONGRESS.
First OF all / mad perhaps, better premise that
Lord Bury is son and heir OF the Earl OF Albemare
that he is an enthusiastic volunteer that ne Is young
and mpetuous In his speech, and that he represents
the debatable city OF Berwickupon-Twsed, one-hali
OF which is supposed to be built in Scotland and
the other hall In England. Lord Bury, must
further inform you, has travelled great deal and
considering his years. is quite small Ulysses. Like
his friend Sir W. Dixie, the proprietor OF our great
literary paper. the AthsnDun,, and dimnutive Lord
Milton, the rich Yorkshire landowner ne has trav-
eled In "North and South Ameriky;" and has, ac-
cording to his own account. kept his eyes open and
carefully treasured up what he has seen. He con-
siders himself great authority upon American sub
jects and whenever any such is under discussion he

was done upon this very subject when had the
honor OF being entertained by the chief politicians
OF the republic at the great city OF Washington.
Brimiul he is or all questions that have COL
lateral bearing upon America. M0rmonism, Hud-
son Bay territory, the oregon water boundary the
Pacific railway, freed negroes, ocean postal con-
tracts the Irish in New York. the policy OF Grant
and Sumner-these and other topics of q kindred
nature are all equally acceptable to HIM; and he is
never backward in striving to enlightsn the English
Parliamentary Bn0rians upon them, and upon the
general social nd political conditions that prevail
upon .the other side OF the herring pond.n Mr..
Tayors bill and his frequent references to the United
states naturally afforded him opportunity Of
sounding The gamut OF MS knowledge to the top OF
it's compass, and he eagerly seized the advantage.
WHAT LORD BURY SAID OF CONGRESS.
This was not by any means complimentary. At
the outset OF hts speech he struck the key ynoue OF
dlsparagement by expressing q Iervent hope that
English polltics would never sink to the dismal level

Britain according to the noble lord, was, in the

right. patriotic, "virtuousest, dscreetest, best"
The United States, on sae other hama, quite the
reverse, and, indeed, was warning to be avoided
rather than an example to be followed. Those who
sit below the gangway in the spot where, before he
took ONCE John Bright was wons to soar into e,o-
quence over American institutions, took exception
by audible murmur5 TO Lord ;ury's view OF the mat

disapprCbation. The lusty tory squires. however
cheered him on, and the noble Ulysses, thus
aged proceeaei with his diatrbe. "Pay your
