Reporting in England Parliament, unlike our Congress, does not pay for reporting and print ing of the proceedings of its Chara i bcrs. It employs reporters only to take down the doings of its Cpmmit f tees, and depends for an account of its public debates upon tho London t newspapers. Froni theso an official nccount is compiled by Hansard? i rather by his successors now; and for jcars this daily compilation from tho Metropolitan press lias been rc 1 garded as only accurate anc} authori tative reproctuctions of the proceed f ings of Parliament. ^Tho committee reporting has been for generations in uic possession 01 me lumous uurney family, and many efforts to have this remunerative work distributed among t other equally competent reporters ^ have invariably failed. Thp London Times has nineteen reporters in the 5 galleries of Parliament, the Standard ? thirteen, the Morning Advertiser nine, and other journals in proportion to ' their standing. Each paper has also L in each House u summary writer, and on the occasion of important debates, the various corps are considerably augmeutcd. To reach these galleries, and occupy a scat as an official notc :T taker, is the ambition of every young short-hand writer. Before he can . achieve this distinction, however, he must go through a chrysalis state, during which all"the qualities neces sary in an pfficiaTreporter are to be s developed.- $eforp the Gurneys allow . phonographers to take notes of com mittee proceedings, they requirotbem , to go through a very tedious, though , careful preparation. They arc taught to read each other's notes, and by transcribing them greatly expedite the completion of reports. They are paid ?2 2s. (about $11) a day for at tending upon committees, ana when transcriptions of their notes are asked, , they receive an additional compensa tion of a shilling for every seventy words. Notwithstanding the obnox ious law which \yp liavo mentioned, 1 Parliament recognizes tho necessity of having its proceedings made pub lic, and has provided very fine aceom i modations for tho reporters. At the opening of each session, a copy of t^e Mj^ales .for the Govern ment of the Parliamentary Reporter," is placed in the hands of each pho nographer, which give explicit in structions to him as to tho length of tho "turns" (a woyd ipdic^tjflg the time tho reporter lakes 8hoi:t-hand n'ote3) and the manner of preparing his copy to prevent confusion. The largo clock?said to be the largest in tho world?whieli suripqnrits the Parliament House, strikes the quarter hours, and by its strokes tne reporters regulate their turns. At every stroke a fresh reporter takes tho place of an old one', whilo the first hastens to write out tho notes he has taken during the previous fifteen minutes. From" the' earliest days men of rcrnarkablo talent, who have risen to great distinction in the tjrts and sciences, have occupied sefi^ in thoso galleries. Dr. Samuel Johnson, Edward Care, Edward Burke, Ilaz litt, Dickens, Thackeray, were once Parliamentary reporters. Qf* Sick ens it is said, that "besides being one of the finest descriptive writers, he was Ja 6hort-hand writer of unusual talent, and could outstrip any of his brethren in the gallery. Gliidsiono, at the London Press Club dinner in 1867, said : "It is true, in general, (hat the skillful hand of tho reportor produces a considerable improvement in the spcechcsHtiat'arc mad o'in Par , liament, in point of grammar, in point of accuracy of expression, and jn 'retrenching unduo fullness of dc velopement.!' * "RncwAll JaIIs no flint. it, wa? consid crcd a great achievment by J^inson, when he wrote out three columns of a Parliamentary speech if} one hour For the Gentleman's Magazine; and Dickens being compelled to condense a long speech of the late Earl of Der tiy, so accurately gave the pith and i marrow of what his lordship had said, as not only to receive a public ? compliment, but' r.' perfjirpcd note, asking the pleasure of his company * at dinner 'at the Derby mansion, ' where a more.practical acknowledge ment of his services was rendered. The oefcapants of the gallery were rarely in good odor with Daniel i O'Conqell. lie oncc took the repor i ters terribly to task for misrepresent ing him. When he finished, tho in . dignant scribes rose in a body, and tljp'r elected chiof declared that until the imputation agoinst their veracity , was withdrawn, they would make no more reports. For an entire week , thr gallery was vacant, and then O'Connell wns pressed into a reces sion of his charge, and his harangs ' wero again reported. One of tho re markable men wlio plied his pencil 1 here in 1807, was Mark Supple, a tig, bushy, jovial Irishman, who would drink as much wjne as four ordinary topers, and then go into tho galleiy and report "lil;o. a gentleman and a man pf genius." One day, having ' mis?cd a portion of Lord Brougham's spcech, he boldly interpolated a page 1 of one of Cicero's orations. Strange to say that his lordship, in a reprint edition of hip addresses, did not refer t to the addition, but placed it all in, . without a wo?d of comment! Of another reporter, Heniy Tyas, it is said tho M. P.'s hardly know thoir own speeches when he reported them; but they adjjiireid his bold and cosy manner of dressing them up. One day when in tho midst of an intense ly exciting d.cbato, there came a mo mentary lull?Bach as sometimes fall upon the-stormiest ocean?Tyas cried out, "A song from Mr. Speaker I" The exclamation fell like a thunder bolt; but in a moment t|>o Chamber rung \vith a peal of laughter, which tho Scrgeanvat-Arms could not silence.

[From the Boalon Tost] It is eleven years since this diva burst upon the London world with the flash of en artistic comet, and during that period sho has steadily maintained her place as a fixed star in the lyric fitmamont.

Her history during these years of perpetual triumph has been a remarkable ono, in an artistic point of view, .^t fy'st she \yas only eqpal to tl'ie lighter roles (n t]iQ oper atic repertoires; sho was matchless as Zerljna, as Amiria, us Lucia, as Nor ma, and as Linda; sho failed at first in Leonora, and, after one or' two trials, long abandoned Valentia Gradually, by the energy of her na ture and her genius, she approached and cbnqiic^a^jip'inprp prgfoajiij and cjifticult impersonations] and it' Is enough to say in her prdh'so, that sho, who is the first of Zerlinas, has pnorc than once outrivalled Tilicns in "Nor ma and Lucrozia, and that there is no role whatever in the range of operat ic productions that slib cannot take with ease, and perform with the most complete success.

The young man who, in stead of rising at five sleeps till seven or eight, and who spends his evening on the corners, or in the companion ship of those who are wanting in laudable ambition, rarely ever wins a position of honor, or achieves a repu tation above that enjoyed by the com mon masses.

Montgomery, Co. , N. C., \ fient. 11.1869. f Dr. Win. H. Tutt: Sir?Please accept tha heartfelt thanks of a mother who was well nigh driven to despair by the sad condition of an only child. My little boy has. been afflicted with scrofula oyer since his birth, and after trying every remedy that was recommended, and several phy sicians had pronounced him past all hope, I accidentally heard of you Sar saparilla and Queen's Delight. It was so highly recommended that I ,conclu: ded to try it, but I must confess with very little faith. He has taken nine ol the bottles you sent me, and 1 am happy in being able to say that he is almost well; and I believe by the time he takes the dozen he will be perfectly restored to health. He has -gamed flesh, has a fine appetite, and now walks two miles to school. I shall always remember you with gratitude. Dr. Tutt's Hair Dye is easily ayplied.

Pin, Tape, anil other "Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually de stroyed and removed. Says a 'distinguished physiol ogist: There isscarcely an individual upon the feceofthe earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No system of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmin tics, will free the system from worms like these Bit ters. Mechanleal Disease*.

Dr. Walker's California Ylnegor Hitters act on all these cases in a similar manner. By purifying the Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving away the effects of the inflammation (the tubercular deposits) the affected parts receive health, and a permanent cure is effected.
