Mr, Disraeli In The Slough Op Exult. Mb....
MR , DISRAELI IN THE SLOUGH OP EXULT . Mb . ' . Disbaeli ' s . . ' .-glittering diatribe against the Ministers whom he has beaten is one of the most effective speeches that he has ever delivered . ' A brilliant ' picture , lintil we look at the back of it ; a splendid political attack until we examine the merely theatrical character of the attacking arm } " . It is stage effect introduced into real life , ' not perhaps for the first time , but with the greatest known excess of unreality . In his own portrait , Miv Disraeli is a patriot against whom intriguers are arrayed ; the Government to which lie belongs has undertaken , and is performing as fast as its enemies will permit , all the measures which the country needs . It has restored a " discriminating amnesty" to displace the " massacre and . confiscation" which were Lord CANisrusra '' s
policy ; and thus it has " decided " the maintenance of our Indian Empire . It has restored our finance , although " facing a band of opponents . " It has saved the peace with France , which , bad become " a question of hours . " It has restored our two countrymen incarcerated by Naples , without breaking the peace of Europe . And it has . on hand measures of legal reform , of social reform , O 1 " \ / "I /* t "t" f ~ k 1 " % r " 1 4-1 Vlli . " 1 r- ^ 1 ^ l \ I - « l \ - ^« ax ^ ln * V s- ^ fe ^^ *< t m » -4 * ~* _ £ C . _ k « d of constitutionalimprovements im
^ " * . .. an . ; " - provements which ivill be improvements , and not mere changes . " This description of his own Ministry Mr . Dtskakli gives with " diflidence ; " bat he appeals to his countrymen to protect the Government against that Cabal winch , to keep itself in office , was-risking a war with France ,, would have brought on war in Italy , was cntaugling our finances , and was maintaining in India a policy of " massacre and confiscation" that would
have lost us that Eastern empire . 3 ? or these infamous objects the Cabal has used every means oi" corruption , it lias corrupted the oiife pure and independent press of England . Leading ' organs now arc " place-hunters of tho Cabal , and the onco stern guardians of popular rights simper in tUo enervating atmosphere oi" gilded saloons . " This Cabal , " taunted character , " " chooses its instruments
with Pharisaical accuracy , "—in the Commons a man " of unimponchnblo character , " in the other llonso of Parliament " a still oroatev reputation" who " condescends to appear upon the liunum atago . " Tho object of the Cabal , is to "loot the Treasury ; " and to attain that object , moving 1 by means of these two Pharisees in tho two liouaes of Parliament , it proposes a vote of consuro on that patriotic Ministry which has done so much , and threatens to do so much more ! There is woniothing terrific in tho forced eloquence with which thia speech ia uttered ;
it is damaging , personally and politically , to all whom it touches — IJord pALMERSTOtf , Lord Shatteseuby , Mr . CardweiiI ,, ! Lorcl Cankujt-g-, all are crushed . In his own painting , Mr . DisBAEiii appears like the picture of a Saint who by his magic spells is dkcomfitin g the Devil in every variety of shape . The speech looks powerful , until we aslc whether it is true ? It falls to pieces as soon as we remember that it is simply falsehood ; even the truth of it is false , by its context .
How is it that " leading organs" are thus bent upon pulling down the national Government- —how is it that the Pharisees make themselves the tool of a majority in the House of Commons ? The reason is , that the country is not with Mr . Disraeli ' s Government ; and ib is not with him , because he is not the statesman that has proposed
" legal reforms" or " social reforms , " or " constitutional improvements . " He never proposed anything worth attending to in the shape of a measure . lie has never desired Parliamentary ' reform . He has always opposed ifc ; he may wish for some- little change of the county franchise , in order to neutraliz-e the old Eeforrn Bill— -not to extend it . His
party desires to enfeeble the power of th-e people , to abridge their rights . And the other pretexts are as false as these . Lord Caitstng- 's policy , questionable as it was , was not one of " massacre and -.. confiscation . ; " it is an exaggeration ludicrous in its turgidity . Mr . Disraeli ' s finance was not passed by acclamation , " but was suffered to pass because it was upon the whole not very objectionable , and in no way
remarkable . He may have profited a little in regard to Naples by the lessor ! read to ILorcl Clabe 3 * dox ; but Lord 3 Ial ^ iesburt is not out of that wood yet , aud he is shrewdly suspected of paltering with his duty . And as to peace with Prance being " a question of hours , " it is an absurdity which may be pardoned in a country editor after dinner , but either disgraces the lips of the statesman , or proves that theuttereris no statesman . Kb ; Mr . Disraeli is nothing more than a
shocking humbug . Be ifc so ; but what then becomes of that Liberal party , and its leaders , who have so managed their own House of Commons that they have handed over the Government of this country , for three months already completed ; , and for some months more not yet numbered , to the supreme administration of the best-known humbug in Europe ?

THE LIST ROYAL MARRIAGE . Lisbon 1 ms been illuminated , and is full of gaiety . On Thursday this week Duin Pedro was invested with 11 k : order of tlie Garter in ^ -rand form , and on the Tui'silay began a scries oi' festivities , partly designed to celebrate the arrival of an illustrious lady in the Portuguese capital . That , lady , the Princess Stephanie , of Holioiizollern , had already been going the round of attentions in Berlin , her native place , and in -England , where sho had been stopping for a week or so as a visitor . The lady herself , hud arrived in Lisbon ; t lew days before this holiday outburst ; but , the event seenis to have passed , comparatively , without attention . At all events , the King was too much occupied at Ihc moment lo go on board for Hie purpose of receiving
hi . s illustrious guest—who , by-tiie-by , was his bride . As soon as business permitted , the youthful Monarch hastened to give : the l . uly a courteous reception .
