LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1864.

The dilatory do-nothing policy which has latterly
characterised in so remarkable a degree, and to
such a melancholy extent, the PALMERSTON and
RUSSELL administration, is now making itaelf
manifest in the procrastinating, undecided London
Conference. The sole object hitherto attained by
that much-vaunted aesemblage is, the consumption
of valuable time. We may have summoned to-
gether the most able and learned physicians, but
while they are in consultation and dispute, the
hours and days are passing, and the patient is
passing with them ! If an infailable panacea for
the malady be at length discovered, what will it
avail when life is extinct ? The same procrasti-
nating o spirit of inanity" which is now paralysing
the Conference is only a new manifestation of
that apathetic indifference in high places which
has, for some time past, so very naturally excited
the popular indignation. We ask, in vain, where
is our boasted energy—where is that public spirit
for which our statesmen were once remarkable ?
There was a time when our veteran chief, who now
only avails himself of the weapons of ridicule, the
echoes of whose speeches are " laughter " instead
of " cheers "—there was a time as ever
when he vf
the boldest and the bravest in defence of an ally
or in support of a principle—when he o rode to
war no visor to his helm "—and the British public
recognised the truest exponent of their national
courage and chivalry in Viscount PaLmEneToN!
There was a time, too, when the dilatory, pro-
craetinatiog, letter-writing secretary, who now
employs folios of insignificant despatches, in place
of a fev resolute and determined words—there
was a time, too, when he could, from the fluor of
the British House of Commons, exhibit to an
admiring world the power and independence of the
English Parliament. The days, however, " When
larguid Johnny glowed to glorious John" are
past and gone. The glory is departed, and only
the largour remains--a very insufficient prop for
the honour and dignity of the nation. While this
deplorable inactivity is paralysing the energies of
our chief councillors, the individual members of
Parliament sre unable to bring the critical con-
dition of Denmark under public consideration—
taeir hands are powerless —their tongues are tied
because of this Conference—this all important,
alki:mpracticable Conference! In the name of
