MA sharp encounter occurred lately between
Lord John Russell and Mr. D'Israeii. The happy
hits AMI sarcasm of the latter gentleman flowed
out in something like torrents. Advertng TO the
ill success which had attended certain measures
of the Government, Mr.. d. condemned severely
the practice of Introducing measures without fair
prospect of carrying them. The following is the
report in brief o the sparring between thern:'
"Lorl John Russell, in reply rather strongly
seasoned with 7sarcasms, ylndlcated the Govern
