Mr. BERESFORD HOPE has now, in common par
lance, hit the right nail on the head—has driven it
home, and then clinched it ? We allude to his re-
marks upon Lord RUSSELL'S policy in regard to
the two steam rams. made by order of a French
firm, christened by outlandish Mahomedan names,
and now very recently marked with the broad arrow
of Her BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S Government. Mr.
HOPE has told no " flattering tale" to the Foreign
Secretary. Far from it. He has quoted Lord JOHN
against Lord RUSSELL ! He has displayed to view
a contrast as vivid as that displayed to view by
Prince HAMLET. lie has held the two pictures
(drawn both of them by the same master hand)
he has held them both very pointedly, indeed,
before the eyes of BRITANNIA, as HAMLET held his
two before the eyes of Queen GERTRUDE. " Look
on this picture and on this ! " We gaze at
the two counterfeit presentments, as it were, ever
