The able London correspondent Of the New
York Times writes on the 7th instant as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Gladstone has gained an immense ad-
vantage by the mastery manner in which he

everybody feels that his plan is lilly equal to the
difficulties it is intended to meet. In Offering
it formal opposition Mr.. Disraeli merely con-

When Mr.. Gladstone's, scheme was fully

Disraeli is not more foolish than the majority
Of mankind. He listened to Mr.. Gladstone's
statement, and he must have felt that his last
dimensions Of his antagonists was gone. But
meeting OF Conservatives was held few
days ago at Lord Derby's house to consider
what had best be done. Mr.. Dlsraeli, have
let the meeting understand that they had as
sembled to express their own opinions, not to
hear his. Mr.. Hardy and others strongly ad-
vised reeolute stand against the ministerial
policy, and this proposition was carried by ac-
clamation. Mr.. DisEaei then undertook to lead
his followers to defeat, and so the meeting
broke up.
What dreary work all this must be for q man
Of MIR. Disraeli's genius He knows perfectly
well that when the people OF this country have
declared themselves decidedly in favor Of any
measure, 1t is worse than useless for any public
man to oppose their wishes. The Irish Church
is doomed. and he would probably be heartily
glad to see it out OF the way once for all. Until
that question is struck out Of the Parliament
airy programme the Conservatives are bound
hand and foot. Bot Mr.. DisraeI is compelled
to make speech dead against the tendency OF
eSitable cast Of events. We can imagine the
kind of speech it will be-tull OF wit and sar-
ency---a Courageous. vivid and sparkling
speech. worthy Of better fate than that Of
beng offered in o 'lost cause" The House
will crowd down 10 hear it., and will applaud it
. lobby and vote against the speaker. All this
Mc. Disrael knows beforehand. But Is this
the 6rst time he has led an Intellectual sally
right up to the enemy's works, and under the

hibit to the world no sign Of hinching.
THE NEW MINISTRY.
Mr.. GladBtones position was never stronger
as he now is would tremble lest fortune had
done all that she meant to do, and that the,
fates had darker destlnies in store. He has
realized every ambition, and his genius has
turned what seemed to be stumbling block
in his path into @ stepping. stone toward
further successes. It is just crit,cism
on his great speech to say that 1t has

or three years past Mr.. Gladstone has
rarely risen above the level Of commonplace
in his speeches. HIS empty glibness has
almost driven his admirers wild. His cleo
ton speeches we're among the worst addresses
ever delivered by an eminent man--mere
pourngs out Of words, iull Of sound and
fury, signifying nothing. All at once he
makes grand speooh, In which o complex
plan, Us made 30 simple that o little child might
understand IT.. Very likely Mr.. Gladstone's
colleagues assisted him to invent or arrange
the details Of his policy. AIR. loves ingenu-
Prime Minister. But the exposition ct least
was Mr.. Gladstone'e own, aud 1t has made his
tame brighter than it has ever been before. His
Ministry, too, seem to be working better to-
gether. Every night the principal members may
be seen ON the front bench almost to the right
hand OF the Speaker. They are. taken alto
