It appears that Sir Henry Parkes is quite up to the level of the Ir mi° a m i. tbe u Parliamerit of New South Wales. Said Mr. McElhone, the other night, referring to something he hai himself remarked about a certain Bill, « That's plain English," "It is not plain i English .answered the Premier, " It is plain blackguardism."
