SCENES IN THE
ENGLISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.
“1 have spoken of the noise and confusion that
often prevail in the house when a fourth or fifth
rate speaker is addressing it. When a popular
member belonging to either party is on his legs,
he, again is sure, especially if speaking on a
party question, to be applauded to the echo by
those who hold Jhe same principles as himself.
For example, sir Robert P. el inav at all tim*-s
relv on the vociferous applause of the tories;
Lord John Russell op that of the wliigs; and
Mr. O'Connell on that of the radical or move,
ment parly. In applauding their respective fa-
vorites, honorable members give full play to
their lungs. Their cheers are sometimes deaf
ening in the house, anti tire often distinctly heard
at a great distance from it. In the new hous
es, which are near each other, the Commons <
often disturb the more grave delibera tes of j
the Lords. But it is on an important division j
that the stentorian capabilities of the Commons j
are hearJ to most advantage. I have often |
heard the triumphant party give such rounds ol
apnlause on the Speaker’s announcing the num
bers, as literallv made the ears of honorable
members ring again. When Sir Robert Peel
was last session defeated on the church appro
pria’toa question «uch was the exultation o! the
liberal party, that some of them, noi content i
with hurraing at the top -»f their voice, actually
took oil’their hats and whirled them in the air.
We now come to notice certain scenes in the
house, that are not more rich than they are
graphically and faithfully pourtrayed. The
author points out kinds of scenes which occa
sional! v mav be witnessed; the-onc chiefly con
sisting in personal criminations, the other of a
more general nature, involving a large propor
tion of the members present. And really this
chapter of scenes is so excellent in matter, and
in the manner of its description, that we must
appropriate to our pages the greater part of it.
As a specimen of the first sort of scene, the au
thor selects what occurred in July hist,
should be open to all, or be for ever under the
control of mere monopolists. (‘Where s the
man what crows?’ Laughter and cries of ‘Or
der!’ from the speaker.) Public opinion—(‘Or
der!’ and great uproar, during which the speak
er, evidently excited, was loudly calling for or
der.) The scone here was indescribable.*
“'Plie preceedmg quotation will give some
idea of tiie scenes occasionally to be witnessed
. . . .... v „h#n i in tho House of Commons. The general scenes
selects what occurred m July List, ivnt n . . c
the House was in a committee of ways and \ usually their origin ... the impatience of
means. The imm-diate circumstance which ; honorable me.nb.-rs to get away from the house
which gave rise to the exhibition, i. is believed, | ‘he night, bul who dare not venture to leave
was a proposed grant to assist in defraying the j b ‘ jf ” ru tl,,: d^ston, lest the non appearance
expenses of the education of Roman Catholics |
solve the committee,’ which had the desired
effect, in a great measure, of subduing the tu
mult. But—
“Mr. Shaw, still abouriug under great ex
citement and speaking with much warmth of
manner, said;—‘The honorable member (Mr.
O’Connell) has charged me with being actuat
ed bv a spiritual ferocity; but my ferocity is not
ol that description whicn takes for its symbol a
death’s-head and cross-bones. (Tremendous
cheers from the opposition, with uproar from
the Irish members on the ministerial side of the
house.)
“Mr. O'Connell (addressing himself to Mr.
Shaw personally,- and not to the chairman) —
‘Your’s is a calf's head and jaw-bones.’—
(Deafening cheers from the ministerial side of
the house, mingled with cries of ‘Order, Order!’
j ‘Citair, Chair! from the opposition.)
“Mr. Bernal again interposed his authority
j as chairman, when having once more restored
j order, tiie business of the committee proceeded
without any further material lnterrupaon.”—
p. 72.
But the general scenes are still better, as they
assuredly ought to be—tho scale being larger,
the developement more complete, ihe conclu- !
sion more interesting. Some of these are en- |
acted when an unpopularor dull member threat- j
ens the house with a long speech upon an im
portant question. It would appear that Mr. i
Hughes is one of those who generally meet ;
with an unfavorable reception. On such occa- |
sious there is a nabcl of sounds, or what Brough- j
am compared to that of a menagerie. There |
are drone-like hummings, almost convey ing the
sound of a distant hand-organ, or at other .imes
that of bag-pipes—there are coughings, sneez
ings, and ingeniously extended yawnings, as the
Morning Post has desciibed it. Some yelp
like curs, or howl like kennelled hounds. Some
imitate admirably the crowing of a cock so well
that they have been mistaken for veritable chan
ticleers; while others bieat as sheep do, or bray
like asses. For example, when the question
before the house was the admission Dissenters
to tiie Universities—
“Mr. G. \Y\ Wood rose to reply. (The
laughing, jeering, shouting, and coughing were
suen as we never before witnessed.) The hon
orable gentleman said, it had been declared
that the bill, in its piesent stage, was essentially
different from what it was when he. had the
honor to introduce it to the house. (A. this
moment two honorable members ‘o’er all tiie ills
of life victorious,’ suddenly entered from the
smooking-rooin into the opposition gallery, and
stretching them-selv. s at lull length on the seats,
secure from the observation of the speaker,
commenced a row of the most discreditable
character*) This lie denied, (‘I say, can t
you crow?’ Laughter and uproar)—the pro
visions had not been altered (‘Hear him how he
reads!’)—the enact meals were io every respect
unaltered. (Loud cheering, followed by bursts ' against the enemy: therefore, when a citizen or any part of

He is artificial throughout—the mere creature
of self-di-cipline—in all his exhibitions in the
house. You see art and affectation in Ins very
personal appearance—in his mode of dressing,
and m his every movement. One of his school
fellows has told me, that at school, he was as
not>-d for his attention tr. the cut of his coat, as
to his intelh ctual pursuits. He is the same man
still: ! e is a great patron of the tailor and
perruquiej: he is alway s dressed in the extreme
of fashion. He sometimes affecls a modesty
of demeanor; but it is too transparent to deceive
any one who has the least discernment. You
see at once that he is on stiIts: that it cos's him
an effort even to assume the virtue which lie
has not. His manner of speaking is very af
fected: the management of his voice is especial
ly so. But for this he would be; a pleasant
speaker. His voice, though weak, is agreeable,
and he speaks with considerable fluency. His
speeches are usually argumentative* You see
at once that he is a person of great intellectual
acquirements, though his speeches appear much
better in print than when you hear them deliv
ered. His articulation is impaired bv the af

Important let'a I opinions upon National Isiw and Indian
IVhr*—The following legal opinion upon the subject
of the losses, was sent ns by colonel Rees, who, by the los*
of his negroes, and the dost ruction of his crop mid planta
tion at Spring Garden, is one of the largrst sufferers in the
territory. Colonel Reessays, it has been “furnished me hy
one of. he most distinguished jurist and political economists
that our country affords. He has merely given authorities
and touch'd th ■ heads of arguments, which may he instru
mental in turning the attention of others to th" subject.”—
We hope the whole subject may receive that attention w hich
its importance demands.
Th- reasons why the citizens of Florida, whose property
has been destroyed hy the Indians, should he reimbursed.
The source front which they should bo reimbursed, con
sidered.
Whether liter - be any diff-r*n -e between the situation of
those, whose property was destroyed b fore the eoiumenee-
m-nt of actual fighting, and that destroyed by the enemy
afterwards?
Whether there b" any, and if any, what difference where
the war was waged fir causes just or unjust?
The right of Postliminium is that in virtue of which,
persons and things taken hy the enemy, are restored to their
firmer state, when coining again under the power of the
nation to which thy h-longed.
“Naturally, (says Vatic!) goods of all kinds are recovera
ble by the rights of Posllfminium, and could they be certain
ly known again, there is no intrinsic r< ason why mova
bles should lie excepted.” Several instances of such a
practice among the ancients are recited hy Grotius, book

j the goods and persons of its citizens, and defend them

he better to el-ct gen-ral Tackson’s direst enemy overplus
head to the senate and mark him with this want of eonfi-
dpne-. than that th- General should be elected, and subject
himself to the imputation of being influenced iri his votes
in th- senate by considerations growing out of his candidacy
for the presid.-ncv. The Judge, we think, nnist now he
convinced of the propriety of his early opinion. I/e has
chnng-d almost all his opinions, all his votes, all his es-
soci ites.—and all his principle?, since he has become a
, senatorial candidate for the presidency.— Globe, Ath instant.

The W de Parly and the .4' ilition Petri'i in
the House.—It will be seen, by the proceedings
of yesterday in the house, that another attempt
was made to fix a day for the consideration of
the bills from the senate, for the admission of
Michigan and Arkansas into the Union. It
failed again by the union of the abolition party
and the White party. A large majority, us
will be seen by the votes, are in favor of an
early disposition of this important subject,
which keeps the people of two great and pow
erful territories in suspense; but it is the policy
of the co operating factions to prevent it.—
There appeared, it! a late number of the Bell
and White organ at Nashville, a letter in re-
gard to this ma ter, in which the effort of the
republican party to settle the question was
charged as a scheme on the part of the friends
of the administration and Mr. Van IJuren, to
bring new strength to their aid in the presiden
tial election. This accounts Ibrjndge White's
vote against Michigan in the senate. He kfleiv
if the admission of Michigan was defeated,
that Arkansas would be stiff -d bv the same,
vote, inasmuch as it is understood that the north
ern and southern territories will be admitted
pari passu, to keep the balance even between
the States of the Union.
In pursuance of the abolition and nullifying

to the following information, from an authentic
source, concerning the CamanChe Indians and
their allies.
Extract of a letter officially aiidessd,
“ Washington, March 11, 1836.
“For tiie last five years, I have had inter,
course with Camancho Indians and their allies.
They inhabit the country from latitude thirty-
four degrees north on Red river, to the Rio del
Norte, extending north to tiie road that loads
from St. Louis, Missouri, to Santa Fe, south to
tiie head waters of Trinity, Guadaloupe, Bras
ses, and Colorado rivers of Texas; a country iu
length six hundred miles, and breadth from two
hundred and fifty to lour hundred miles, mostly
prairie. The different tribes are Camanches,
Kyawas, To wash or Southern Pawnees, Cad-
docs, Wacoes, and Skiadies. They number
and can mus-
ht thousand restless warriors
in this great western prairie. Free as the
buffalo themselves, they acknowledge no su-
perior—depredating upon the Mexicans of
tiie interior States, ravaging and burning
their towns, murdering their people, some
times taking prisoners, which they either torture
to death or make slaves of, carrying offimmense
herds of mules and horses. Their impunity

Presbyterian Convention.—The genera! as-
in Maynooth College. Mr. Shaw, the member
for the University of Dublin, and who is the
great organ of the Orange party, contended in
opposing the grant, that the Established Church,
and it alone, ought to be supported bv the State.
Mr. O’Connell rose and sai I, “The honoura
ble me tribe r (Mr. Shaw) lias expressed his opin
ions in a manner which can do no good service
to his cause. There was a determination a-
hunt him amounting almost to a spiritual feroci
ty. He seems to think that the Protestant reli
gion consists of pounds, shillings and pence.”
“Mr. Siiaw(with great vehemence)—‘I deny
‘hat I said tiie Protestant religion consists ol
pounds, shillings and pence. But tiie Church

seven days, when Salaverry, after repeatedly

otherwise as regards a perfidious enemy, who, void of all

have been outraged by such an enemy.
