He has regarded the policy of the Lords—or rather their waut of policy—with disfavor and anxiety, and has more than once expressed the opinion that the violent tory peera were uncon- aciously playing directly into Gladstone’s hands. After the vote last night he expressed his satisfac- tion that the Church bill had passed. “The Lords have had rope enough given to them and they atill live,” he said; “now, let us see whether Gladstone escapes as fortunately from the hands of hangman Bright.” Disraeli, it must be remembered, has no clase to uphold and cares pot a jot what may become of all the tities in the United Kingdom or those who them. Neither does it concern hm instant how soon the Church of England may follow the Church of Ireland on the road to disest; lishment. Indeed, ho ts believed to nurse in depth of his heart 8 vindictive bitterness against the aristocracy, who have only yielded lagly inch by inch before the power of ‘his genius and ability, while they who know him beet declare him to be all @ Jew in his contempt for Christianity, notwithstand- ing the fable of hia conversion from tAe anclent faith of his race. He can, therefore, look on complacently whether thg next siep of reform be made in the di- rection of the Irish land question, the English Church or the heriditary Kouse of the British Parliament, pears Bn for the political offect of the movement, and seeking only the destruction of hig political op- Ponents, no matter what interests may be dragged down in the ruin. ‘The alterations and moditica- tions in the Irisn Churen bill were agreed to about five o'clock, and one of the most important measures of the preseat generation in ita influence and ex- ample was flauily passed without @ single cheer be- ing raised to mark the event, ‘The result of this struggle will teach the people of England the extent“of their power, and will render it @ hopeless task to attempt to stop hereafter the steady progress of reform. In this view it marks the commencement of a new era in English politics, Wherever abuses exist they must hereafter give way before the will of the country. It is idle to pretend that the Lords would have yielded now except to necessity; to the stern conviction tuat resistance on their part would have been followed by a popular agitation that would have swept their out of existence, either by constitutional means or in the fury of the storm of revoiution. Can the legislators who were compelled to swallow the Irish Church bill hope to retuse to aovept the Irish Land bill? Everybody knows that the great curse of Ireland lies tn the land system; in the want of security for labor, enterprise and improvement, and the evils and hardships of a tenantsilp at will. Byery siatesman admits thas something must be done for the Irish asant—sometiin, to stop the flow of blood now staining Irish 801); something to make assassination show like a fout crime, aad not uke an act of retributive justice, ‘The British Ministry will not be slow to take up this wost important and overshadowing question, and, with John Bright in the Cabinet, the remedy applied will not be inefficient. The Lords have been told by the Ministry, the people and the press of England that they Would defeat the Irish Church bill at the eril of their own exiatence, and can tt be supposed that tne popular.voice will be less determined wheie the fate of the Irish Land bill is concerned ? Nothing ts more certain a the future than that the obatructive power of the British House of Lords hag passed away forever. Reforma never go back- wards, and the franchise can never be more re- stricted than itis now, Jn its present condition it has given tue country @ ministry with Est op) of Commons at its back that has already fought and won tho great test battle with an hereditary house standing above and beyond tue people's reach. Ten years from this time, or less, it will extend nearly to manhood suffrage, and with that extension will come the equalization of representation. As the power of the ple increases the power of special classes will decrease, and throne and peers will tearn to bend before the will of the country. Toe House of Lords may exist for eckier paif cen- tury, and its comical looking Chancellor may con- tinue to disguise himself as a chimpanzee and dangle nis legs in black wren from his square red cushioned séal, but ft can only be on condition that t% shail use thé ability for which tt ts dis- tinguished in the service of the people, and not for the erailfication of its own peculiar notions and prejusicea, Should it ever again even threaten to stand obstinately in the way of the country tt wiil be swept out of sight a3 a nuisance and an obstruc- tion, After the great triumph of the Irish Chure’ bul oD ty of the Eoglish reformers must be “Onward.’ The FPenbody Memorinl—Unveiling of ths Statad~Speoches of the Prince of Wales, Mr. Motiey, and Others. On the 234 ult., his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, in the preseace of the Lord Mayor and a dis- tinguished compaay, pabitcly unveiled and maugu- rated the statue which the citizens of Londou have erected to commemorate the unexampled act of munificence of Mr. George Peabody toward the poor of the metropolis, the renown of which bas already oie World-wide. The ceremony was conducte: with much dignity. The principal civic anthoritic headed by the chief magistrate, played a conspicu- ous part in it; many of the principal merchants ( bankers, including the Governor of the Bank ngiana, joined tu the pageant, as did also bis ellency the new American Minister, with many persona of consideration.

And, lastly, your Royal Highness, let us hope that this statue, erected by the sons of free Rugland to the honor of one of Columbla’s troest and noblest citizens, may be symbolical of the peace and good will that exlet between the two countries—(cheers)—and that a people Springing: from the same stock, kpeaking the same janguage and inspired and animated by the same love o! freedom and liberty may live in uninterrup' friendship and happiness.

Political Agitation Among the Germane— Their Increased Aspirationa—Caucuses, Cals culations and Combinatioue=Tho Array of German C jidates. It bas already beon stated in these columns that the Germans of this city are showing more activity, politically, this year than ever before. Though early 1n the season, too early, in fact, for any definite poll- tical combinations to be formed to influence the ap- proaching fall elections, still tho Germans are deter- mined to take time by the forelock and be the first in the fleld. the Germans themselves hardly knew their own strength, and also that the vast majority of those of thelr countrymen who have hitherto acted with the republican party will this year unite with the democratio masses. Through the statistical computations of the H®RALD, verified by succeeding explanations, they became convinced that, while they form about one-ffth of the outire legal vote of the city, they hold about ovue-third of the democratic voting strength. years the republican party, with its fascinating shibboleth of ‘freedom and reform," drew to tts folds from 6,000 to 8,000 German votes, tt now has lost them nearly all, not more than, periiaps, 1,000 or 1,500 being left, if even that many. the democratic Germans will swoll the vote of the latter from 30,000 to 35,000 next fall, contingent force Tammany knows how to appreciaw, But here comes the diMiculty, been thus shown their own power and being brought fally to apprectate its political value, are no longer content with @ back seat and with being graciously allowed to play the second fiddle in the councils of the party. the offices, so that their nationality be adequately represented in proportion to their poliucal weight and voting power.

Mr, Willmann was six years ago the republican can- didate; this nomination he cannot now receive. The repubilcans in this city must give way to the tempe- rance pressure in the State, and as Mr. Willmana is opposed to the Excise 1aw, bis doom as a — man ig sealed. But there is a good deal of talk amon, German circles to take him up as an independent anu-Excise candidate, and that may carry through 60 ag in to receive the Governor's Suporte Tt is therefore provable that, with Mr, G.
