pos d by the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by

Messrs. JAY, of Regent-street.

et a I urieux." Wear guaranteed.

LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 24, 1863.

Yesterday we gave from the Spectator, and
also from the Morning Herald, certain flying
rumours of the clubs as to Earl RUSSELL'S
abrupt resignation (again! for he has before
now resigned in that way quite suddenly)
—the flying rumours, we repeat, of the clubs as
to Earl RUSSELL'S resignation. To-day we transfer
to our columns the formal contradiction given to
those rumours by our official contemporary, the
Morning Post, the recognisei organ, not of the
Government, but of the noble lord the Chief of the
Government. The breakers ahead, we are to under-
stand, therefore, though undoubtedly very serious,
are not quite so serious, are not so absolutely unavoid-
aitsl: i,that the Man at the Wheel of Foreign Affairs
den by the instinct of self-preservation (as he
has, time and again, been driven before) to drop
suddenly his grasp upon the spokes of that wheel,
to unlash the dingy, slip into it, and drift astern
into a position
eof comparative safety, at any rate of
relief from
responsibility—thence to observe, as
'-
phlegmatic-
his dootnedi andl abas
andoned
be, the direr fates awaiting
put too fint a colleagues. " Not to
to
the rumour
upon it," the official
contradiction
of Lord RUSSELL'S
resignation—oneereere leaving his colleagues in the
Jarch—means simply
iz
the
very
plain words this—
Not Yet. Things, asha e
look quiet bad enough for thatslaidThe coach may be
going down hill it is true_an_d the pace of its
descent down romantic Ashburolay have been
latterly rather accelerated
by circumstances,
spite of the stubborn skid slipped
to it in
in
the shape of the do-nothing policy of
Government. But, while running clown. the
very heavy incline at rather an alarming
vice a
things, we repeat, don't look so entirely
hopeless,
that JOHNNY is tempted to upset the coach, again
es if out of a pure love of mischief. But fc, its
course being, latterly, very much like the uncom.
fortable title of one of Captain WIIYTE MELviLLVE,
latest novels, "All Down Hill "—the wheels of the
State coach, the ribbons of which are handled from
his box-seat with such a jaunty air by the veteran
uhip perched up there, in that place of honour and
responsibility would hardly, We should
suppose, have been doing better than crawl, even
if they had not come—as they have r_ at inter-
vals occasionally—to a dead standstill. Non-
intervention, that is the order of the dav—excePt
in ,Tapa-.1, or, in another out of the way place, like
:Icy, Zealand. But in any matter of importance--
thoughugh blood is flowing abundantly, blood that
r.i
ght be stanched by interposition of some kind,
diplomatic or otherwise—Non-intervention ! Non-

intervetitiogoisso insisted upon, in fact, that we
should
begin to upon it as some newly
pin to l

for one thing,
~as the hills, and for another
that it is no
psuac
at all. The belligerents in
Americi are slaughter;nc,
one another by wholesale
—months roll on
andthey are still at it. In
Heaven's name, says the FncEMPEROR, let us
at least try to put a stop to this
ihideous destruction
i
of human life, which besides being useless threatens
also to be interminable. Non..nterv..e pntion—non-io-
