/ il is perfectly we'll known that men of science,
with all their sublime and mighty notions, are
as despOtic rs the weakest OF the human race,
and they are exercising their dcspouc sway TO
| u remarkable extent over very large NUMBER
| of rising young men, who are either fascinated
by what they have read and discovered, or are
| crushed by the authority OF few great names.
| 1t was in order, as | have said, that science
| should have fair play that this Institute was
established, and the blessing of God has 80
rested upon it that it has at last taken hold in
public estimation"
Dean Stanley, preaching recently in West.
minister Abbey, described Mr.. Gladstone and
the late Lord Beaconsiicld us the great twin
brethren of orr day" each supplying what the
other needed for the public veal. Though they
differed so widely in opinions, postcrty will
acknowledge that each fought for what ho
deemed right Ill the cause OF England empire
and of Englands commonwealth. Moderation
where moderation was possible and necessary,
the genius that knew when to give way and
when To resist, the uncomfortable strength OF
will, and the passionate love of the honor and
greatness of England-these were virtues which
belonged to no party, and were in themselves
wholly independent of whatever lines divided
one party from another. The name OF Lord
BeacOnsicld would be remembered by posterlty
as that of one who had an extraordinary
career, which led the alien in race the desplsed
in debate, the eccentric in demeanor, the ro-
mantle advcnturcr, the fierce assailant by I'M
tagging perseverance, unfailing sagaclty, I'M
shaken fidelity by constantly Increasing Dig
nifty, by larger and larger breadth OF view, to
reach the highest SUBMITS of fame and splendor.
The Rome correspondent of The Standard
states that Cardinal Jac0bini has completed his
examination of the possibilities and cream
stances relating to the resumption OF diplomatic
intercourse between the Holy See and the Eng
lish Government. Bcfo,c coming 10 any con-
clusion on the subject, the views of the English
Government have been very carefully exam
ined and the Secretary OF State thinks that he
has found the means of removing all the dill
cutics which have hitherto stood III the way
Of such a resumption. The Vatican considers
il certain that some proposition of the KIND
will be made by the English Government; and
such communications are awaited, III The iuil
hope and expectation that an Arrangement may
be arrived at.
Tho Bishop of Exeter recently remarked that
the disestabli-hncnt of the English Church
would be- n terrible evil. both To the Church and
TO the nation. The Church would lose great
position. preserved 10 her hitherto by the provi-
drnce Of God and the nation, he was con,
yinccd, would lose in depth, in sobricty and
Stcadincss of religious tone. still, there were
worse evils than dscstablishment; and no
could scarcely imagine Il worse evil than tho
loss of that breadth of spirit, that majestic
charity which had hitherto held IN the embrace
of one great body the thoughts and diversified
tastes and divergent tendencies Of the SONS OF
the Church of England.
