THE HOUSE OF DIFFE a sd the Hohsb OF Comkoot.— CoJ«*“ '(• |he British Parliament, in re- K 1,16 rU jjch-maliing, could be introduced g» rdl ° American Congress, the country iow ["* rc i| e ved from the flood of aimless I would lB ft with which it is 'every year sod “ se >V There is only one speech on iBB j delire'*' 1 either House of Parlia record’; any lime, which ever approached ® eDt “filial character of heavy Congress ,ie and that was delivered in the Com cram’ a 1825, by Henry Brougham, on the ■ft 0 i the administration of the law, in ‘S be exposed its abuses, and suggested H the principal reforms which have since * made. That speech occupied over six in delivery. O’Connell, Peel, Lord itn Russell, Palmerston, Roebuck, Cobdeu, Si, and a few others, have made long tnceches; but these long ones are the excep -7 g general rule, half an hour’s reech «! considered a very liberal allow- Mce,«ns that onl y t 0 , a first-rate man. Whoever of inferior standing, should attempt to waste the public time by diffusiveness, mold he coughed down or silenced by ridi julinir cries of ‘Hear, hear.’ As for any ujn’i reading what he may call a speech, iliai is utterly out of the question, la the first place, it is unparliamentary, and the mac who attempted it would be put down with the cries of ‘Order,’ on which the Speaker would l„e to tell the honorable member, in the nnllesi manner to ‘shut up.’ An extract f rora a book may be read in a speech, or a siarement of figures, but to read a speech imir is impossible. Of course, then, it is equally our of the question for a member of jlhcr house to have an undelivered speech jimirted as spoken, and so introduced into the reported debates. First, written speeches ire "holly excluded, and next, neither house 0 [ Parliament has any publication of its pro ceedings. Newspaper rivalry, in the first silence, and the private enterprise of Mr. Hansard in the next, provides and prints ad equate reports of all worthy of notice on record, that is done in the British Legisla te,— Philadelphia Press. A Lesson for Girls. —An intelligent gen sieman of fonune, says the Bangor Whig, rated a country village in Maine, not far from Bmgor, and was hospitably entertained' sad lodged by a gentleman having three daughters—two of whom in rich dresses, fnwamed the distinguished stranger in the parlor, while one kept herself in the kitchen, assisting her mother in preparing food and if,ling the table for tea, and after supper, in doing the work until it was finally comple ted, when she also joined her sisters in the parlor for the remainder of the evening. The cert morning the same daughter was again early m rhe kitchen while the other two were m the purler. The gentleman, like Franklin, possessed a discriminating mind—was a close observer of the habits of young ladies— watched .in opportunity and whispered some thing in the ear of the industrious ope, and left lor a time, but revisited the family, and in about one year the lady of the kitchen was conveyed to Boston, the wife of the same gentleman visitor, where she nnw presides at an elegant mansion. The gentleman, whose fortune she shares, she won by a judicious deportment and well-directed industry. So much for an industrious young lady. The Assassins of the Inn.— The (bl loiisg is told by the Charleston (Va.) Re publican as happening in the vicinity of Mount Pleasant, in that Stale, not long since. “Not far from Mount Pleasant back in the country (ike, there is a tavern called the Franklin House. Mr. Franklin the proprie tor, has two deaf and dumb daughters, sprightly intelligent, and interesting. By signs they often carry on animated conver. satrons, especially with each other, and mem itrrs of the lamily, “Last week two fool travelers slopped for the ntght at this house, and after supper with tM lamily, were shown to a room, in which “as a good fire and bed for their accommo- M!i°a. The kind host, on entering the room tie morning, found that the bed not been occupied, and that his guests had flown, “e, however found on the table money for taeir supper, and a note staling that, in con tinence of signs made at the supper table t the young ladies, they did not think it ! >fe to go to bed, and .therefore paid the bill s ad look theirdeparlure.” Washingtoh, Jan. 2', 1859.
