Lord Lyons.


Wo very much doubt whether this nOblemaE
will ever return to Washington as Ambassa-
dor from the Court of ST. James During his
whole residence there he has shown most
nlentif,,l lack of brains, and a disposition to
make himself partizan Of Seward, even be-

sten which the New York Herald says he has
taken. and which, contrary to our former oph>
ion. we now believe he has taken.
Lord Russell, it will be recollecteo SAID
some time in March, that this war would end
in ninety days Seward had no doubt pursuad-
ed him that within that time he would crush
the rehellion. The ninety days have elapsed,
and the rebellion is not crushed, neither is the
war At an end In the meantime Lancashire is

of the planters. Even though Seward sub]u-
gate the whole South, he cannot redeem his
pledge. because he cannot get the cotton. The
only possible wav to obtain it is to acknoWl-
sdge our Independence, drive the Yankees
from our ports, and throw them back into our
hands. breaking MP the blockade, and forbid

will send the British ships as much cotton as
they can carry. They will never send them
bale as long as the Yankees hold possession OF
the ports.
Itis at such time that this chuckle'headed

Lord Russell 10 as blind as he is; but Lord
Derby and Mr.. D'Israei are not blisd. They
know the suffering in the manufacturing DIS
tricts,, and to what it is acribable. They know
that whatever pledges Seward has given can
not be redeemed. Unless then, Lord Russell
abandon the league with Seward, he will be
pressed by these men until ne resigns and
Lord Lyons 90 with him. If he changes his
policy, he will also change his Ministry at
Washington So Lyons stands fair chance
of staying at home when he gets there.
Nothing could be more adverse to British in
terest than the subjugation of the South by the
North and the restoration of the cotton culture.
By means Of high tariffs and export duties on
cotton, the North would soon have a monopoly
and monopoly of manufactures would soon
follow. Great Britain would be driven out of
every market in the world
