LORD JOHN RUSSELL ON FOREIGN
POLICY.

In reply to the memorial from the inhabitants of
Glasgow relative to the policy of the Government
' at the approaching Congress on Italian affairs, the
committee has received the following letter :

"Foreign-office, Dec. 26.
" Sir,—l have received with great satisfaction the address
of nearly 5,000 of the inhabitants of Glasgow, including the
Lord Provost and the members of Parliament for the city.
The support which is thus given by the flourishing and
enlightened city of Glasgow to the principles by which her
Majesty's. Government have been guided, and the policy
they have announced, cannot fail to give encouragement
and add. strength to the just cause they have espoused. I
beg You to accept my cordial thanks for your letter acconi-
PanYing the address, and have the honour to be, Sir, your
most obedient servant, J. RUSSELL.
"Robert M‘Tear, Esq., 21, Gordon-street, Glasgow."

TIIUNDERST3RM.—Stamford, last evening, was
visited with a most awful storm of thuzder, lightning, hail,
and rain.
THE LORD MAYOR AND THE CITY PRISONS.—
Through some "forgetfulness" the officers of the City pri-
sons have been disappointed in not receiving from the Lord
Mayor their usual gift of beef. Tke prisoners have had the
customary allowance of beef and beer, but the officers, for
the, first time in the memory of man, were passed over. On
New "Year's-day the Sheriffs will give beef, beer, &c., to
the jarisoners, and the officers expect their customary gift
of beef, unless the Sheriffs follow the example of the pre-
lent —vT—rd Mayor,
