John Bnll is getting to be famous for max
ing a great buster, Wanting himself with
brave words, but, when the time for action
comes, quietly subsiding till he is as ''neek
as any lamb" To judge by the talk of the
English Ministry, Parliament and journals, it
was to be supposed that they would take up
the cudgels in behalf Of poor, weak and OPP
pressed Denmark, but, alas, how the world is
disappointed.
Earl RUSSELL and Lord PALMERsToN on the
9th of June laid the papers relating to the
London Conference on the tables of the two
Houses of Parliament, and declared that they
deemed it the best policy for England to re-
main neutral in the Danishwar. They stated
that at the conference no one proposition made
by the neutral Powers met the approval of
the belligerents. Time pressed on the diplo-

abandoned by its chivalrous friends to its
| fate.
