Joseph Hume's unprovoked attack upon our excellent Bishop, "the turbulent priest," has created a greater sensation out here than the honorable member can ever hope to cause again. For the consolation, however, of those who may have felt annoyance from it, we extract from Hansard a few observations which fell from Lord John Russell on a former occasion aliening the estimation in which that gentleman's unectives are held, e\eii ou his own side of the House. "He (Lord John) had long been acquainted with the language customarily used by the hon. member; and whether it arose from some original confusion of mind, or from a want of familiarity with the exact force of the English language, the hon, member unquestionably did throw out imputations and apply terms, in des:ribing the couduct of others, which from and other bou. gentleman would give offence, but which he had heard repeated by the hon. member without surprise, or occasioning auger. The hon. member, then, being a sort of chartered libertine m this respect in the House, he hoped tnat the hoa*

gentleman opposite, and his bon. friend (Mr. Iluti) behind him, were satisfied that they and their relation* were entirely cleared on the suljcct; and that there was not one person of importance, either in the House or out of the House, who would pay attention to tlie charges preferred by the hon member for Montrose." —Hansard, Commons, July 9, i 817.
