M. tlc Lesseps is understood tn consider him*
shabbily treated nt thc Lord Miiv ni's dinner.

l,o,lv <>f the Guild?nil bnnqnet?lg hall. It is-.ie
hie enough that the City authorities un.int If,
Laanene to perceive thnt between the ee-tfanate*
upon his position by hi* Kicmh admiten, arni 1
estimate of London, th. ic is a dilterence ; ns beye
doubt there j*-. His tpeeeli eoold nat ba beard,
friends coiuplaiu. lt was iu french, and it did i
Greatly matter whether it was hoard or not. '1
murnini* pupate wen kimi enongn to translate

jirovcnicnts. not ,-i syllabic.
Nor tm* th.- feeling with regard to lt de Lean
lunch improved since. Various conferences hu
been held between bini and the lending ship-nwno
There has been, I think, a sincere ctVi.rt on the pi
of thc representatives rf thc gnni commercial int.

toils, tu* rf dividing fairly a ith the English the gt
eminent t.f the canal company, ol ot those admin

is too soon to expect him to do so. Ile is going
Liverpool anil to Neweaatle, He lias to make np 1
mind as tn the stale rf opinion not in London on!
but in thc meat patti rf the North. He has to n
i-fy himself how ranch nones and debtininati.
HMM may bc at the bi .it om of rival schemes: -in
wmd. to make sure what ia thc least eoneoaaion th
will, not satisfy, but silence, Engtifh OppoaHIn
aud leave him, as he means to bc, undisputed mast.
of the Isthmus. Mr. Qladatone saul not a word ;
the dinner to lessen the mischievous effect rf h
previous statcnients, awl M. de Laaeepa may bc e:
cnaed for thinking that he will still bnveaomeai
and comfort from the Government of Great Britni
in his struggle w ith I lie merchants and ship-owne
of Great Hritain. An odd stat.- rf things, truly.
M. de Leanape*a nyeeeh al liinitj Houae last nit;!
?hawed how strongly this idea of ultimate help fro:
the Ministry against the people rf England lu
possession of his mind, "lam herein England
said he, ?' in a friendly Country, to conn to an undi
standing with those who have been opposed to the
Government. The Government have had the wi
dom anti thc good-will to reconcile their inti rcs
?with those of the pomona who ha\>- provided th
passage for England and for the whole world. Tl
(loverimient are wisc and prudent, bnl the pcp
Lave failed to follow them." Yes, M. de Leaaep
nml the failure will continue, and , \, ii your eournf
and unconquerable energy will be Inadequate to tl
tusk of coaxing or frightening thc Engliab pcp
into is surrender of interests \ ital to its (onum-rce i
the East. M. ih Leaaspa plenda thnt they who fn
nishtil thc capital ought to have the chief aban i
thc prolit-i. Perhaps they OOght, but in that ca?
the ruler and i-eoplc rf Egypt wouhl come io for
great dial more thnn they ha>. yet i> reived.
The new Lord Mayor is a lunn of more than Mill
energy of character, anti has thc munge rf h
opinions. Ht has proved both by withdrawing tl
permission he had Inadvertently given to Hei
Stocker. Court Chaplain at Berlin, to holtl a m.-e
ingintheMansioii House. Tl?a Lord Mayor Fowh
does on the csprtss groiin.l that Hen BtSek?rwaa
leader in the Jew-baiting rf n hlch llerlin has late]
been thc headquarters. The Jewa In the City,
need not say. arc numerous nnd powerful, and thc
brought prtssurc Maaffc t<< near on tha t hit f angil
Irate of London to outweigh thc strong religion
feeling on the other side. The mat lei is liol of dee
importance, but anet aa a.t is at least asefol as
protest against intolerance of a peculiar]) disgrace
iul kind.
Agnosticism lins not been excluded from Parlia
incut by ihe exclusion rf Mi. Bradlaugh. Mr. P. A
Taylor, the impacted number for Leicester, ha
lieen expres-mig iu print opinions which, ii not ethe
istic. arc probably more damnging tollu- orthodo:
theology than atht-i.sin pun and simple. Science, fi
hil*riew, whether aeientifie naen mann it mr not, i
the irreconcilable enemy rf Christianity in it- ih.L'
matic form. Even agnosticism is hostile t<> a pope
lar theology which pretends to know what it doe
not know, be,ans*' thc doctrine rf agnosticism i
that there are some things which not only arc nu
known but cannot be known poaitivi ly. lt is ih. re
fore dishonest ii. peemensi t? know ih,-m. Thc ex?
istence of a Deity Mr. Taylor neither approves noi
denies. Thanapenntnral. Deity included, belong'
to the region of the unknowuble.
There is nothmir novel in Mr. Taylor's position
It is the position rf Darwin anti perhape rf Hmley
WhM questioned as to th. ir belief in miracka or I
future state, they answer simply that there is nol
evidence enough to satisfy a mimi acenatomed to dc
(ide on evidence alone, and not by help of faith
And it is just this demand for evidence which i*
making moat havoc with theology. If a man is lt
batten only what erm be proved?bnl Innaoini
too far. 1 only nieanr to snugest that sn. I: cham?
pions of the faith ns Lord Randolph Churchill might
Irv their hands en Mr. Taylor, lt night even bc
worth while to reconstruct the Fourth Party in
order to eipel him from thc Il..ii-.* of Cownona.
The Fourth Parly, howevt r, may md be in med ..(
leeanntraction. There has never been evidence
nong- of its dissolution lo sat i-fy the scientific
student of politics. Ami only a few daya since,
apropos of ihe departure for India rf Mi. Oorat, -.v bo
l-elongs to it, iis nontbpieee in the press. Bu Mom
ing Tost, proclaimed its vitality In no doubtful
tums.
Nobody' seems to W nen naefnl ta Engliab Tot iea
than the newest American aposth rf that Badieal
ism -whose motto is plandar, Mr. Henry George. I
find Mr. ll. C. Richards, future (ons, native candi?
date for the borough of Northampton, qnothlgthe
following as a passage from Mr. Henry George: who
Rays, respecting American institutions:
Wc tlo not even get a cheap Government, Wi
might keen a Royal Faniilv nnd niiuiitaiu pala.es,
provide tfiem wita courts ami guards,masters of
robes, aud rangers tal anna, for much less than is
?wastell and stolen under thc nominal Government
nf the people. The ordinary citizen hus no more in?
fluence in thc Government under which he lives
thau he would have in China, Th*erperiateat af
popular tjorertn.ent in the I 'tuted Stiles is clearly a
failure.
Well Bay Mr. Kichards say lhat if this had lm n
uttered by a Conservative, it wonld have hi en
railed a libel on republican institutions. Whether
ii kt ih.-1, -s a Iiin I in the mouth of a Socialist, is a
taoatna for enif hedy tn answer to his on n liking.
A summary of the note from Mi-s Hognitk ta Mr.
Ouvry published in Thk Tiiin-.vr of Nov. mb. r l.t.
has been tel, graphed to The haily Sewn bj it-New
Yotk torre-poiidetit. Thereupon Th* Haily Stirs,
which sonic time ago denounced thc printing of
than Dickens letters as supeiUuotis end imperti?
nent, rUaaaaann all desire to enter Into the cm
troversy; ar,d then burrows its way in a little'
deeper. Miss Hogarths mate d.?a not beni the in?
terpretation put upon it, thinks this non-combat?
ant. It doe* not appear to sanction, or in any way
even t? contemplate, the publication of the felters
in question, but merely expresses tho writer's w ill
H'gnesK that Mr. Ouvry should keep them. The idea
that, they w,re to be kept as autographs is*4 con
elusive"' against thc |*Asn of publication. Mr.
<)nvry'8executors unfortunately sold them. Could
*ir. Ouvry have foreseen thia indiscretion, than
Can be little doubt ho would have destroyed tin m.
bnch, at least, is the view of a writer who has no
desire to enter into thc controversy. Should he by
and hy chango his mind, and decido to toke n hand
in the dispute, ho will doubtless provide himself
*?uh adjectives of amore belligerent quality than
tuchmild and inoffensive terms as superfluous and
?npertinent.
ll.
The innumerable body of interviewers in Americi
must yield tho palm to a rival who is not even Eng
lish: to M de Wow it/, who hails, appropriate!1
enough, from Bohemia. He has made his way ta th.
presence of the most inaccessible sovoreiratn in Eu
?Ufa- tho Kultau of Turkey, and he records in liv,
columns of The Ttmee the obstacles he had t" over
come, nnd thc conversation which follow til upon hil
success. The whole letter is one of the noel
aiiiii-iiig .vcr published; anti is most charaat-i isl i,
ot its anther, M. ile Howitt tahm btnnlf ro seri
oneil that he all but indues his readers to luke bia
seriously also. His vanity, if one must Me tin
wi.nl. ls of that open and candid quality which per
similes one lo pardon it; while of hil energy, in
genuity, resource, and assurance then never wit'
anv ijuestion whatever. He is, it must be said, a
Tiircophilc; believes in the regeneration rf Turkey
hy the Turks ivvith sonic help from M. de HI,twit/A
and whatever he says must be taken w itii due allow?
ance for his point rfvicw. Nor, after nil, is ilien
much of real moment in whal the Sulttm, wainui
that his wolds would not est ape publicity, said tn
his interlocutor. What is interesting is the writer"i
picture rf palen nnd rfnehd life in Constantinople,
liis \i\itl narrative, nnil his account rf thc Sultan.
Nobody, p'*_epe- has looked on that gnat potent*
Mle, fan'to face, with such a talent itu nice obser?
vation ami lifelike portraiture ns If. de fflowHc.
Thc letter, in short, is a masterpiece iu its kimi, and
Tin Time*, with that peculiar tact in joiinialisin of
which il has the secret, publish,', it in that remote
portion rf n- voluminous and outer pages known
as Um " penal settlements.'*
The title rf Mr. Marion Crawford's new book is
announced nt an evening Journal as "(tin* Favorite
.?sham." Hut unless Mr. Craw ford has changed his
mind since last night, ldc t it It- will be ?? To Lee?
ward." This might seem to indicate that he was
about tuenler into competition with Mr. Clark Rus
si-ii. Bul h.* is n,,t. The tale, whatever title may
finally be fixed on, has nothing to tlo with the sen.
Mr. Crawford returned last night from a short pil?
grimage 1" Scotland iii company with bis um le. Mr.
Sam Ward, ami goes in a few days to Hoine. uh. iv
be will spend the winter and write another book.
To thc short li-t rf English daily papers which
pub?sb pictorial illustrations of current events is
now tia beudded Tke I'all -faff Cast-Mr. Its lateai
art-ctlort is a portrait of Mr. Saitkey, or perhape it

much garish ornamental ion. The only truly fire?
proof building in London, say its builden; i atute
incut w Inch, in the due fruit ion of time, is likely
enough lo be teated. The***. PuttMail pictures, it
should be sahl, do not attain to much more than
outline thawing-, and will not, it may be hoped,
provoke inuch imitative rivalry. 0. w. B,
