ANTI-BIsMARCK.

! Dublin, in the course OF his speech to the
professional assemblage, should express SYM
pathy with the imprisoned bishops of Ger
many, it would afford Prince Bismarck
chance to complain that Englishmen were
open sympathizers with movement hostile to
German national unity
GERMAN OFFICIAL NoN-coMA11TTAL POLICY.
In this connection there is the significant
fact that no one German Burgomaster
answered the invitation of the Lord Mayor of
London inviting the civil magistrates of the
Empire to the banquet which was recently
given by the English municipality in Guild
hall In this the German Eurgomasters acted,
it is believed, under the official directions Of
Prince Chancellor Bismarck.
FRENCH OFFICIALS LIoNIzED IN LONDON.
The London city invitations were, on the
other hand, accepted by the other Continental
Mayors.
The greatest attention has been paid to the
Pfefect of the Seine by the people of London
and by Englishmen generally. The French
Project holds receptions in London just after
the fashion of those given by the Lord Mayor
himself. The band of the Garde Republicaine,
while engaged in playing French national
airs at the Alexandra Palace, is cheered en-
Enthusiastically by the English people.
HOW DIsRAELI FEELS.
Premier Disraeli and ex-Premier Gladstone
are rather reticent with respect to the Cen
tenaIy celebration.
1t is believed that Disraeli, whom O. Con-
nell once called sthe lineal descendant of
the impenitent thief" would cheerfully join
in measure of proper tribute to the memory
of the Irish Liberator.
GIADsToNE's THEOLOGICAL DIFFICULTY.
Mr. Gladstone would accept an invitation
to attend the celebration in Ireland and de-
liver eulogy of O'Connell, but that English
statesman, having sided with Doctor Dollin-
ger in his opposition to Papal infalhbilty and
vaticanism, must to be consistent condemn
the ultramontane coloring which has been
given to the affair by the Irish Mayor the
Cardinal-Archbishop of Dublin and their en-
thusiastic friends and followers.
HIS FEAR OF VATICAN INTRIGUE.
Besides this, Mr.. Gladstone believes that
Cardinals Cullen and Manning, acting in
trived the OConnell demonstration with the
view and intent of making trouble with Ger
many while consolidating the Catholic feeling
in Great Britain for Interior use in the same
direction.
EARL DERBY's VIEWS AS A CABINET MINISTER.
Earl Derby, Secretary for Foreign Affairs.
believes that the feeling which prevails on the
Continent of Europe is favorable to the idea
of holding governments responsible for
all acts occurring under their jurisdiction.
He thinks that if German bishops introduced
subjects relating to the internal politics of the
German Empire in the course of speeches de-
livered in Ireland it would cause bad feeling
to spring up between the German and English
newspapers, and thus originate possible diff
Guilty with Prince Bismarck.
LORD HARTINGToNs POSITION
The Marquis of Harrington, leader of the
Opposition, takes an orthodox liberal posi-
ton. He believes that not in Ireland herself
is the Liberator' memory more respected than
among the members of the old English wing
families, because OConnell was the friend of
civil and religious liberty, which has been
everywhere and always the cry of the British
wings and liberals, and that, as the Liherator
of Ireland he always assisted the English
liberal party, both in and out of Parliament
ULTRAMoNTANEs.
Earl Russell, the celebrated "Lord John,
of many former English Cabinets, says that
he has great respect for O'Connell's fame
because he, Lord Russell, was intimately
acquainted with him during the many
years of his Parliamentary life, and, as
a Minister under the Crown gave several of
O'Connell's sons government appointments;
but, Notwithstanding all this, he cannot
sanction ultramontanism in any form or
shnpe-His Lordship thus adbering to the
matured opinions which he has lately ex-
pressed with respect to the designs of the
Roman Church.
THE IRISH PEOPLE FIRM
The mass of the Irish people applaud the
action Of the Lord Mayor of nnhlin Il, bis
