LORD JOHN RUSSELL TO-DAY Lord JOHN RUSSELL re-assumes, after interval of fourteen years, the poet he formerly held u Secretary of State for the Colonies. The tra ditions of the department still preserve the memory of the manner in which he discharged its duties from 1839 to 1841. The same characteristics which have distinctively marked his administration of other branches of the public service, were observable during that period of his official life; and we have little doubt that should he again devote his Imitate and energies continuously to the same labours, the affairs of the Colonies will again manifest the same traces of a vigorous hand and discriminating head. But at the present gloomy crisis of national affairs there are considerations whose gravity renders them paramount to those connected with the well -ordering of any single department of the state, how important soever it may be. There is no use in disguising from ourselves the fact, that the prestige and power of the empire abroad is in jeopardy. In concert with the only nation in Europe whom we own as a rival in arts and arms, we have engaged in war with a power hitherto regarded only as the first of semi-barbarous despotisms; after a sanguinary campaign fought without results, we have negotiated for peace on terms remarkable only for their excessive moderation ; ' and our offers have been spurned. The civilisation of the West stands at bay. With all its high preten sions to superiority it is alike unable to disperse it. enemies or to disentangle itself with safety or honour from their oat-numbering strength. It fed harm lessly in peaceful pastures until suddenly beset and challenged; and for a time its high and haughty heart cherished the illusion that it could frown back the assailants to their lair. We are ,told upon high authority that when the Anglo-French expedition first went forth, the universal belief of officers and men at Varna was that they would never come to blows with the enemy. When that hallucination was dispelled the real struggle began—a struggle which terminated in undying glory to our soldiery, but in yet unredeemed ignominy to the civil and military authorities under whom it was impro vidently undertaken. The Russians, undismayed by defeats which cost us so dear. subsequently became confident and encouraged by the slow suicide of our army in its winter santOOments ; and now, at the end of the second spring, we have to contemplate the necessity of another sanguinary campaign as the only means left us for the retrieval of our national honour. To provide the means for this new effort the inooine and the credit of the nation must be made available, end extraordinary burthens and liabilities must be submitted to. We don't ob ject to either; bat we do object plainly and peremp torily to the evident disposition to avoid giving guaran tees for a thorough and complete reform of oar adminia. trative system. We oannot afford to have the millions wrung from a tax-paying community squandered in jobs and malvereations ; we cannot afford to have another army wantonly and cruelly thrown away. Before Lord Joan Roseau. takes his seat in the cabinet of Lord Taxonomic we have a right to ex pect that he will come to some understanding with his colleagues as to the principles upon which the Government is to be carried on. For the last two months be has seminally indeed been s mem ber of the administration ; but that member- ship was so universally understood to be but nominal, that Lord JOHN RussELL's name has never ones been mentioned throughout all the die. maniocs which have occurred duriog his absence abroad, regarding the exclusive composition of the Government, and the lamentable inaptitude it has betrayed for repairing the faults of that which preceded It. Public justice exoesrated him from all practical complicity in that curious concatenation of arietocratio folly and cupidity, which is by courtesy called "Her Maitirree present Government." No body held him sommateble, while engrossed with - ~1 concerns at Vienna, for the intrigue and 'bassetlity displayed at home. Nobody pretends that it Was his that the whole of February, March, and we mast now add April, have been suffered to pass away without one single measure of civil or military reform having been carried, or attempted to be oar lied, through Parliament; and no one has ever said, es far as we know, that the deliberate refusal to Betels to any proposal coming from an independent source for Army Reform, is in any degree attributable to the =pine occupancy of the Colonial-office by Lord Joss. But, on the other hand, the season of irre sponsibility for him is' peat. He is member for the City of London ; and his constituents, who gene rously re-elected him while absent from the realm, have a right to look to him now as the defender of those principles for adherence to which they have heretofore given him credit. What is far more to the purpose, and whit we trust will weigh tar more with the noble lord—he is a statesman whose reputa tion has already become historical, and whose promi nent position in actual political life gives to his acts and words no ordinary importance in the eyes of the nation. The community have a right to ask Lord JOHN RUSSELL to consider well what he is about to do, and to declare plainly what his intentions are. Upon the system of rule that now exists abroad and at home, and upon the exclusive composition of the Government, they have made up their minds. It cannot and it shall not last; but it may be re-modelled and purified and made consistent with the rights and interests of the people, by the wise cooperation of patrician statesmen, or, if not with them, then in spite of them. On the question of the first Reform Mal in 1830, as well as upon the ques tion of the total repeal of the Corn-laws in 111411, Lord Joan Himeji., and other shrewd and sagacious members of his class, declared for the cause of right, and against the cam of monopoly. We trust that he will do so now; and that he will, by appeasing the gathering storm of just discontent, give another proof of his capacity and courage in difficult affairs. Since last the seals of the Colonial-office were held by Lord JOHN, he has occupied many distinguished poi Lions. He has been President of the Coun cil, Leader of the House of Commons wit►- out office, First Lord of the Treasury, and Plenipotentiary Extraordinary at Vienne. Bat whether in or out of office, there is one character which he has uniformly borne, and of which he is probably still more proud—that, namely, of Leader of the Whig party. And never assuredly did party stand more in need of wise and energetic leadership. Since the fall of Lord ABERDEEN, the Whigs, forgetful of past professions and heedless of future policy, seem for the moat part to have given themselves up to a mere scramble for official profits and distinctions, like the chance passengers who meet at a wayside inn, and scuffle and wrangle for the best seat or a share in the best dish with all the reckless indifference to the appearance of the thing which selfish people be tray, when tbey think that these who look reprov ingly at them are never likely to see them again. Lord Pet MERSTON'S Administration is not indeed altogether Whig, but the Whig element predo minates in it ; and if Lord lons RUSSELL, the acknowledged chief of that party, should be induced to join it without some broad and pal pable concession, both of measures and of men, to the public opinion by which it has been condemned, he must not wonder if in the angry sentence of popu lar reprobation the name which he traditionally reveres, as a symbol of constitutional principles, is rudely but righteously associated with less historic epithets.—Daily News. THE CONVICT BURANELLL Tax general understanding is that BURANELLI, notwithstanding the efforts that have been made to obtain a reversal of his sentence, will be ordered for execution. His case, we confess, is not free from difficulty. The opinions of some of the medical men consulted on the question of his sanity are diametrically opposed to those of others ; and there are on both sides names entitled to deference. To establish a plea for exemp tion from punishment, on the ground of insanity, it ought to be proved either that the culprit was unconscious of what be was doing, or that he was incapable of oomprrhending the responsibility he incurred by his act. Now, it certainly has been proved that at one time—and for a considerable length of time—Bunsrau.es senses conveyed to him false impressions of the external world. He believed his bed to be saturated with moisture when it was perfectly dry. Add to this that he appears to have been habitually the victim of a fantastic dreamy mood which makes men live in an unreal world—borderiog On such a stale of mind LB CERVANTES has poartnyea in his Dos Quixote. These I actsestablish a presumption that he may have been, at the time he killed his vie- tim, in a state of of what he was doing, and unaccountable for his actions. But we have no satisfactory or conclusive evident* as to the condition of his mind at the moment the deed was perpetrated. The evidence of the medical goa -1 tiemen and attendants of the Middlesex Hospital relates to an antecedent period; the evidence of the medical gentlemen who saw BUILLNIILLI in Newgate relates to a subsequent period. He appears to be sane —in the legal acceptation of the word—at present, and may have been when he shot LAJIBPAT. But there is another consideration, to the full weight of which the condemned man is entitled. ,The prosecution was conducted in such a slovenly and im perfect manner, that all the facts of the case were not elicited. Mr. thiew, the principal surgeon of the Middlesex Hospital, was summoned as a witness for the prosecution, but not examined. The pert** charged with getting up the case had not taken the trouble to learn the nature and tendency of Mr. Slisw's evidence, until the trial wee actually going on. They then dis covered that it would turn against the object of the prosecution, and did not call him into Court. This could not be known to the counsel for the pri soner, and Bußauxtxt was thus deprived of an im portant witness in his favour. The trial of MIRA- Null has not been of a nature to satisfy the ends of public justice. It does appear, therefore, that to make him undergo the extreme penalty of the law would be an act of questionable propriety. The doubt that exists as to the state of his mind at the time he shot LAMBERT is owing to the neglect of the MOM don ; to hang him might be to punish him for the halt of others. It is to be hoped that Government may give its due weight to this fact before it is too late.—Daily News. NSW AND OLD.—Whatever may be the character of the new journals which the abolition of the stamp may gall into existence, it is impossible they can panes a more barefaced and naPriseipled system of pilfariag than the two prieedpal seeable papers, though it may have been remarked that since the nodea of a copyright has been raised cloy have berm to show setae signs of oompancition, at Mast for show, and they now quote the authorities from which they steal their sews—often arguired at a vary heavy expense, and by amass of careful and woll•eonsidered preliminary arrangemests.

The Sent Public of Lyons gives the following most str►nge story A few days ago a certain number of Englishmen established in this city gave a splendid banquet to a countrymen of theirs, a Mr. Arthur Fleming, a rich merchant of London, then at Lyons, and who had just completed a residence of eleven mouths in the prison of Frankfort, in which he had been placed under the follow ing circumstances:—About a twelvemonth Ego, Mr. Fleming stopped for two days at one of the principal hotels at Frankfort-ea•the-Maine, and on the third day, who about to leave, called for his bill, which, to his astonish menh amounted to about 260 francs. Indignant at this demand, which he considered exorbitant, be tendered one half of it, bat the landlord persisted in hid demand, and threatened to send his customer to prim, the law of the place allowed him to do. The Englishmen, however, was obstinate, and suffered himself to be united and locked up. Although the laws of Frankfort give this power to creditors, they at the same time impose on then the necessity of supporting their debtors while in prison, and also to furnish them with clothes and other articles suit able to their position in lite. This the hotel•keeper was coin ' polled to do in Mr. Fleming's case, and so little cue did 'the Englishman take of the articles supplied to him, that the former at last found himself minus a sum of neatly 20,000 f., and thinking that amount quite enough to expend for hie obstinacy, he ordered the release of his captive. Mr. Fleming, not wishing to triumph over his creditor, imme diately on his release gave a sum to the poor of Frankfort amounting to double that expended by the hotel•keeper."
