agn alton Of Lord John Russell:
"as Lord John could ne longer hope to save
5kinset even az the cost of the whols of his col.
fsgues, he wisely preferred to Go With something
ks grace what he would otherwise have had TO do
j6ib DO grace at all. The cabinet must feel reley-
a of a very manageable burden. No doubt, In
lord John R1ssell 1t has lost great abilities and
PERSONAL influence, and no doubt he Is not pleasant
6ilber as antagonist or as riTa', but his con-
6pusnce In The cabinet had become impossible. A
nipIster from Russia could claim &C sympathiser

1ord Pamerston might be prepared to consult his
consistency at the expense of power, the occasion
bss not one that depended on the Interchange of

9Dnddcted by ministers, one of whom thought II
blight have been avoided but for the obs,inacy of
hs rest. War with q neighboripg nation was bad
nough, and could not be helped, but funda-
nantal difference about the war in the cabinet
tseil was grstuitous aggravation, and could be
Helped. So the British public has spoken in no up
oeltsin tones; the House of Commons has ey press
