LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 14.

OUR very consistent contemporary, the Times, is
Ilutuated to discover that " Lord Jolts; itussELL has
dursel his mind again." That type of unchange•
alba= VOWS that the changes of Lord lotus's
mini have at late followed each other so rapidly as
to disty its power to chronicle them. " Panting
'lnstalls after him in vain." Tho Times, however,
ably eeedeseends to specify one of these alleged
slamino—the change of his lordship's determina-
tion mot to stand for the City of London at the
Gamin election. Where, or from whom, did the
nem learn that Lord JOHN ever intended to
BlaiMpilk his seat for the City without a con-
test Oer contemporary, in its off-hand way,
to r how a number of City gentlemen asked
Lad PALXIJIATON t'other day to allow himself
Ile be pat in nomination ; and how another
lead it then grave Lord Jolts a hint to
witideswAy wing ameoltition that for the future
day mead have sale but commercial representa-
tives. " This," the Times goes on to say, " was the
teiviasat pomalaie way of telling Lord /omit Rosana,
that they maid do without him, and his lordship
task the him. It was speedily announced that he
woad retire to Tauistwit." &c. It vas announced.

Illy whom? The Tunes lua not the hardihood to
slim that any ane was authorised by Lord Joint to
nuke say such announcement on his behalf. The
Moms den not allege that Lord JOHN himself made
my offish announcement. The report of Lord Joan's
latestkos to resign his seat for the City—if any such
meet over became current—was anonymous and
Heated. To accuse Lord JOHN of vacillation
of pewee, because he has announced himself as a
eambasts far the City, after such a rumour had been
disamissted utterly without his authority, is pro-
_ . .

bably the most ridiculous charge that ever was
advanced against a public man. The Times must
le sorely at a lees for topics against Lord JOAN,
when it gravely converts the demolition of an idle
moon: into evidence of infirmity of purpose.
But though we have never heard from any reliable
seem that Lord ions Russatt has ever had it in
contemplation to relinquish his seat for the City, we
have, like all the rest of the world, beard rumours
iamb about the impossibility of his being again
returned for the City. We honestly believe that
with the originators of these reports " the wish was
lithe: to the thought" The rumours were circulated,
we have no doubt, for the purpose of preparing the

electors of London to become accomplices in Lord 1
JOHN'S defeat, by accustoming them to con-
eider his success u impossible. It is a
daring perversion of fact to represent Lord JOHN'S
recent vote on the China question as having any.
thing to do with the alleged hostility of the City
electors to his claims. The conspiracy has been at
work for yews. For years bare busy whisperers-
away of character been spreading report. that this
or the other influential City supporter of Lord lons
lad withdrawn his rapport. The conspirators believed
that they could frighten Lord ions from again ap-
pealing to the constituency. It may be that their
busy intrigues may for • moment have shaken hie con-
fidence of success. It may be that they have induced
him to entertain the question whether it would not
le better to avoid disuniting the Liberals of London,
and to turn to some other constituency. But before
he could come to any resolution on this point, a step
wee taken which rendered it impossible for him to de-
dins the contest. Ever since the divisioe ea the China
quietism Lard Jottres motives for hie vote have
been Insenseatly and aseligsastly istwelweented by
the doses el the dirty work of the olleial Nadla
