Mr.. Disrael and the Pope.
Mr. Benjamin Dsraeli, Premier of England,
has issued an address to his constituents in
Buckinghamshire, seeking reelection by
their votes to ths new British Parliament.
Judging of the language and tone of the paper
by the report transmitted through the Atlantic
cable we have thu almost certain assurance
that the great Ifaelite statesman will not
avail himself in any form, either as
newly baptized Christian or descendant
of Abraham, Noses, David and Solomon,
anxious to reafffm the law in the teeth Of
error, of the invitation contained in the Papal
pastoral by attending in person or by dele
gate at the Churca Council in Rome. Indeed,
it appears as if he fears that the visit will
come from the other side, and that the poor
old Pope may tvsntually and at no distant
day take trip svsr to England and GUST him
from his high position as ''adviser of the
an indnity of mischief in every direction.
The Premier, rSerring to the Irish Church
disendowment project of Mr.. Gladstone, passed
by the House of Commons and endorsed by
the throne in he Majesty's reply to the ad-
dress Of Parliament, asserts that If carried into
complete effect b the new Legislature sit will
unsettle property make confiscation contagious
and, worse thar all, give England over to
Popery and practically to the rule of foreign
Power" Thisis very dismal picture indeed,
and must be farming to all good Britons when
sketched by such versatile, ready pen as that
Of the author # ''Coningsby." The Gladstone
party, howevr, will not be likely to view it in
exactly the sane light, recalling, perhaps, the
facts that tb celebrated Lord Eldon pro-
phesied that the ''sun of England's glory
would set" he day Catholic emancipation
passed-whicl it did not-and that the late
Sir Robert Peel, In the House of Commons,
characterized the most ardent Congregation
alists of the Irih Church establishment as
constituting mercy miserable monopolizing
minority" in ireland.
Mr.. Disraeli, his, however, paid great atten-
ton to the subjectof religious revolutions and
their consequence. SO, it he is quite con-
WINGED that Englad will be given over ''to the
rule of foreign Fewer, and if that Power is
likely to be the Itpe, Minister Johnson had
better see to tn, payment of the Alabama
claims bill at ono, as Secretary Seward and
Wall street mus certainly prefer draft
signed by Lod Stanley and verified
by Queen victda to one drawn up in
Latin by Carolina Antonelli and sealed with
the seal Of the .Flherman, and which few Of
our bankers coul read without the assistance
of an archbishop. As mental affections, on ac-
count Of religionand political wrong, have al
ways some little onsolation and compensation,
we already perceive 9 grand opening through
which Mr. Disrai's people can almost effec-
tually flank his bliness the Pope should he
attempt to invad England-that is, by return
ing, as they will, in vast numbers to Spain,
from which hey have been SO long
excluded, mairy through the influence
Of the prests Notwithstanding the i'm
mense hear of sscie which Isabella carried
of from st. sebastian and the reputed
poverty Of the ;ingdom, there exist some
of the rrhes' ''placers OF revenue II
ndustriousb worked by the more humble
brethren in Splir. The churches and royal
palaces ar amazingly wealthy and pos
sess any number Of ''trifes" in the way of
gold ornamnts. Jewels and precious stones, of
which the revolutionary leaders, being for
the most pat plan soldiers, will not know the
value whencasfis required for the treasury
unless instucti by good solid ''business
men," So It he Pope wishes to try his
hand at cure revival in England the only
direct way.o 'corner" him is by holding
grand ''slnt- Yer silent" revival all over
Spain, commencing in Madrid, from which the
faithful nd &c race have been excluded
and DISAPPEARED since the year li92.
