lie Is one of the few literary men who have sue
ceedei in politics lie has written love novels, and
mystery novels, and all that sort Of literature
which was calculated to damage him among the
representatives of pounds shllings and pence; yet
his financial statements In the House are said to be
clearer and simpler than those OF Gouibornes s,
Baring's or Words and the superiority OF his ca

who has written for his religion, and glored IN u,
vet fought his way against all the prcjudices which
hedge round the upward path OF every son OF
Israel in Great Britain-fought and conquered
until he has become the recognized leader in the
House of Commons Of the tory party OF proud
England. His Torysm may be but sharn-a jew
and Radical leading the great Protestant and Tory
psrty--but, as the English journal says, it is a
magnificent cheat-such a triumph OF brains
against banks and blood as no career In the history
of all mankind can parallel; he has mastered the
mobiles of England and leads them in spite of their

A brilliant mouthpiece in the House OF Commons
The Tories have no reason to complain of their
champion. DIsraeli is a thorn in the side OF the
ministry lie is n ready debater; watehfui, &C
tive dashing leader eloquent, sarcastic fearless,
aggressive. The reader of the debates in the Bri-
fish Parliament cannot fail to observe Mr. ID Israeli
excessive solicitude as TO the manner in which
pamerston is conducting the foreign affairs OF
Great Britain and the bland but thorough style in
which he refreshes the memory of the noble lord
at the head of the government as to any little mis-
takes he may happen to have made. The mutiny
in India has fallen like another Delhi arsenal into
the hands of this prompt aud relentless leader OF
the opposition, and what with the Grand Mogul in
front and DrIsraei in the rear, Lord Palmeston is
likely to have a hot time of it for the next six
months.
