The dilatory do-nothing policrwhich has latterly
characterised in so remarkable a degree, and to
such a melancholy extent, the PALMERSTON and
RUSSELL administration, is now making itself
manifest in the procrastinating, undecided London
Conference. The sole object hitherto attain3d by
that much-vaunted assemblage is, the consumption
of valuable time. We may have summoned to-
gether the most able and learned physicians, but
whilo 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 lingth discovered, what will it
avail when life is extinct ? The same procrasti-
nating " spirit of inanity" which is now paralysing
the Conference is only a new manifestation of
that apathetic indifference in high places which
, past
has, for some time 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
"cheers"—there was a time when he was ever
the boldest and the bravest in defence of an ally
or in support of a principle--when
he rode to
war no visor to his helm "—and the British public
recognised the truest exponent of their national
courage and chivalry in Viscount PALMERSTON !
There was a time, too, when the dilatory, pro-
erastinatieg, letter-writing secretary, who now
gnificant despatches, in place
employs folios of inei
of a fen, resolute and determined words—there

was a time, too, when he could, from the floor of
the British House of Commons, exhibit to an
admiring world the power and independence of the
English Parliament. The days, however, " When
languid Johnny glowed to glorious John" are
past and gone. The glory is &peril, and only
the iangour remains--a very insufliciont 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 are unable to bring the critical con-
dition of Denmark under public consideration—

Vieir hands are powerless—their tongues are tied
because of this Conference—this all important,
ad-Impracticable Conference ! In the came of corn.-
