We say, then, that we give but rtterance to the uni-
versal feeling when we express our conviction that never
did a public man, in this or any other country, place
himself in so deplorable and despicable a plight as that
in which the noble lord now stands. Still clinging to
office, with a death-like tenacity of grasp, and prepared,
rather than let go his hold of it, to stain yet deeper and
deeper his public character, Lord John Russell now
comes forward and says that though he did, on his re-
turn from Vienna, propose peace in terms of the Aus-
trian propositions, and urged its acceptance on his col-
leagues, he now sees that the only right course for this
country to adopt is, to carry on, the war with the utmost
vigour. That very much resembles the language which
an offender against the laws of his country employs after
he has been convicted. He would act very differently
now that he is found out. It is a curious coincidence,
that when Lord John Russell made his extraordinary
speech on Friday evening last, no expression—not even
an incidental one—fell from his lips, which in the slightest
degree indicated that ho then was in favour of a vigor-
ous prosecution of the war. At that time he did not
know how his speech would be received by the country ;
but having found that it has occasioned a stt,rm of popu-
lar indignation, which not only threatens his own anni-
hilation as a public man, but has imperilled the very
existence of this Cabinet, h. wheals round once more,
-andfreseffts himself before the public so. one -who is
fiercely in favour of war.
Lord John Rusiell, by a discreditable effort to mystify
the house and the country, spoke last night of the differ-
ence in the position of the Eastern question in April
last, when he returned from the Vienna Conferences,
and its position at the present time ; and wished it to be
understood, that while he thought the Austrian pro?o-
-sals ought to have been accepted then, they ought not to
be accepted now. But he forgot to assign any reason for
this. The new light seems to have flashed suddenly on
his Mind ; for so late as Friday evening, he expressed
his decided conviction that we ought still to accept the
Austrian proposals of peace, and that consequently we
are carryin, on an unnecessary war.
Conduct like this cannot be characterised in terms,
sufficiently strong. It is difficult to say whether it be
more despicable or more profligate. It tramples on all
the recognised principles by which the course of public
men ought to be guided and governed. It destroys all
faith in the integrity of those in power. It inflicts au
incalculable injury on the morals of the people. And
yet the House of Commons could listen with patience,
and even with a seeming acquiescence, to the speech of
Lord John Russell last night. It ought have been re-
ceived with unmistakeable expressions of dissent and
indignation. By the passive manner in which the house
received the miserable attempt at a vindication of the
course which the noble lord had pursued, it makes itself
a partaker of his culpability. It is consolatory to think
that condign punishment i 3 hanging over its head, A
dissolution of Parliament is impending. " The sooner
the better," will be the universal remark when the fact
is known.

ORDER OF AFFILIATION ON A CATHOLIC PRIEST.—The
County Justices in Quarter Sessions were yesterday oc-
cupied at Durham in hearing an appeal made by the
Rev.. Richard Singleton, a Roman Catholic priest,
against an order made against him by the borough ma-
gistrates of that town for the support of an illegitimate
child. The mother is Miss Beatrice Jane Jones, the
daughter of a Church of England clergyman residing at
Douglas, Isle of Man. Various proceedings have taken
place in the case, but the result of the investigation yes-
terday was that the county magistrates confirmed the
previous order, directing Mr. Singleton to pay 2s. 6d.
per week during 13 years for the maintenance of the
child.

PATENT RECONNOITRING GLASSES.— Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe
opposite the York Hotel. By her Majesty's Royal
Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements
in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-
course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances
of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the
army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra-
ordinary powers that some 3} inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They aro of larger and al
sizes,
b with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
ing 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the
above and the Georgian, with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal
Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,tho size of a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and known 1 miles distant ; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power.—Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great-
est transparent power. The valuable advantage derive.
from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons aro
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute ocet.-
pation—can see with these lenses of a much less magnify-
inr, power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf-
ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi-
nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and- at
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing :wises
in the oars is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired. 39, Albemarle-street,

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Diarrhocea Gravel, Stone,•affections of
the Kidneys and other painful and inflammatory diseases which
medicine always aggravated, have been perfectly cured by
Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food. We quote with
pleasure the following letter on this subject from the famous
Dr.Wurzer :—Bonn, 19 July, 1853.—N0. 51,482, Dr.Wurzer.
It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also in
diarrhoea, bowel complaints, inflammatory irritation, cramp,
and hemorrhoids. Also in brouchiail and pulmonary con-
sumption, in which it counteracts effectually the troublesome
cough ; and I am enabled with perfect truth to express the
conviction that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to
the cure of incipient hectic complaints and consumption. DR.
