the Excheouer in the gardens of the Royal Ho-
tel at Slough. Mr.. DTsrasli cxulted loudly on
the defeat of the opposition, signalled by the
Withdrawal of Mr.. Cardwells motion of>eensore
Mr.. D. said of the opposition:
ssThat cable consisted of some scheming
English politicians and some foreign intFtgHers
ftfear1 1t possessed resources OF all Kinds,
and in considerable amount, and they were
quite reckless Of the mode in which they might
dispose of them. [Hear, hearl Their social
influences were considerable, and they were per-
tain their political ends Hear, hear. Ihey
possessed great sources of political information,
especially with regard to foreign affairs, OBJ
tanned, in his opinion, in manner not very
constitutional. LHear, hear.] They had sue
ceeded in attnining that which no canal IN mod
ern times had succeeded in accomplishing, they
had in a great degree corrupted the once pure
and independent press of England. Hear,
hear1 Innocent people in the country laugh
tel who looked to their leading articles for ad-
vice and direction-who looked to what were
called the leading organs to be the guardians
of their privileges and the directors oil their po'
litical coscienccs, were not the least aware, be-
cause this sort of knowledge travelled slowly,
that tho leading organs now are place-hunters
for the cabal [hear hear,l and that the once
stern guardians of popular rights simper in the
enervating atmosphere of gilded saloons
TCheers and laughter. Yes; it was too true;
Tho shepherds that once were the guardians OF

Notwithstanding all the government had done

Mr.. D'Israeli alluded in the following man

shaftcsbury:
"The cabal which had rather tainted char

accuracy. [Laughterl When Mr.. Cardwell
rose TO irnpeach him, he was terrified with his
own shortcomings. [Langhterl He listened
to his nisi prius narrative, ending with reso-
luton which he thought must have been drawn
by conveyancer. Cheers and laughter -
And in the other House of Parliament, per

Gamaliel himself with the broad phy!acteriea
of faction ON his forehead, called God TO wit

was Influenced by party motives"
The final night of the debate he describes ia
the following terms:
"They were assembled, and on the opposite

teri It was more like a cGnvulsion of nature
than an ordinary transaction of human life. He
could only iken it to an earthquake in Calabria
or Peru. There was n rnmbling Inurnur--l
