Whether that peace will be established on perma-

Mr. Disraelis elevation to the peerage is now Jdf
aooompH for the official notice of the royal patent
comforting his titles appeared in The Gazette last
night Her Majesty by this notice appears to grant
"the dignity of viscOunt and an earl OF the United
Kingdom unto the Right Hon. Benjamin Dlsraeh,
and the heirs male of his body, lawfully begotten'
by the names styles, and titles of Viscount hugh
snden of Hugheudeu, iD the County OF Bucklng-
ham, and Earl of Beaconstield of Bcaconshed IN tho
said county, The Athenggl has been ndustriously
searching Mr. Disraes novels for point bearing on
his elevation and it has discovered from apassago in
the Young Duke that Mr.. Disraeli contemplated
the movement nearly half century ago. " Mr..
Dsraeli is however" says The AthenGtm, one OF
those, of whom Prince Bismarck is another, whose
frankness IN declaring their intentions is often so
emphatic that people at the time find it difficult TO
believe in the sincerity of their utterance." Tie
passage which The Aaea9am quotes is certainly q
very remarkable one 1t is to be found In Chapter
of Book of the " Young Duke" and, as me
AthepGum points out, it does not come from behind
the mask of one Of the characters in the novel; but
from the author in his own person while critciSng
the orators of the day. The author Gays:

The AthonGua says, its audacity approaches sub
hmity, The comments of the Press generally Oh the
event have been favorable to Mr. Disrael. All have
admitted their admiration for his talents and the
brilliant success of his political life. Most of the
journals have hailed in the Eardom OF BeacOnsfeld
diguifed and fitting crown TO the abors of Benja-
min Disraeli, and if they have been divided In
opinion as to the effects of this elevation on the tn-
ture prospects of his party, they have at least as
serted that the recipient was worthy oil the hOhor'
But to-day The Spectator has been original Ii never
has been a very ardent friend OF MIR. DIsraeh, out
not few of even The Spectators readers Will be
little surprised to-day when they read it's assertion
that Mr.. Disraeh has moral and intellectual
defects of the gravest knd-such defects that MS
permanent removal FROM power would be cause Oh
thanfulness alike to Great Britain and the world"
They may be more disposed to agree with The Spec
tator however when it goes to say that ne is not
