Redoubled Success of the Great Wonder- worker—his

the misreports of the
Tory Journals which had represented Lord MEL-
BOURNE to have
NthoehleNiar
(pis on Friday, that
had not interfered in favour of the
tJewsY' in
theS Government
East,
when it had been previously stated that E
Govern-
ment had interfered. On this, their own misrepre-
sentation, the Tory Journalists have made a series of
unfriendly and unfounded comments, and have re-
presented the citizens as strongly condemning the
Government for riot doing what it has actually done.
Lord MELBOURNE availed himself of the oppor-
tunity to state that he did not then know whether
instructions had actually gone out, but he knew
they were to go,. for our Consuls to interfere ; but
he now knew that the instructions had been de-
spatched when the nuestion was formerly asked.
Will the Tory Journals make as much of this refu-
tation of their errors as they made of their own ca-
lumnies?
