LORD PALMERSTON AND LORD JOHN RUSSELL.— The
following extract from the current number of Blackwood''
Magazine, so far as relates to Lord John Russell, is
worthy the especial attention of Lord Palmerston, which
ftrootTl ren2t7,eri° of
we hope he will not fail to give it :—" Had the fall of
the Palmerston Ministry been accomplished by the Con-
s-rvatives, the result would have gone far to corsolidate
tho various sections of the Liberal party. But the chief
agent in his fall was Lord John Russell, who signalised
his opposition by voting against the very first reading of
the Con, piracy Bill—w berates, the Conservatives, anxious
to avoid even the semblance of faction ou 80 delicate and
important a question, by their votes gave leave to the
Government to introduce the bill. It was also notorious
that throughout the whole course of Lord Palmerston's
Administration, Lord John Russell has been ever ready
to play the part of mischief-maker. The result has been
to widen the breach previously existing between these
two chiefs of the Liberal party, and to exasperate in no
ordinary degree the Palmeratonians against Lord John
Russell. Lord John
u-ill never rest so long as Lord
Pal-
merston is above hint, while the Irish Viscounth will citenr-
tainly not submit tamely to be displaced from
between

of honour. It is at present almost a drawn

John, and during the last three
"
years he has completely distanced his rival.„ Lord John,
in fact, has of late years been 4 nowhere.' :
