ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

(From our London Correspondent.) London, November 14.

•THE POPE AND GERMAN EMPEROR. . ,' Tn a former letter I referred to a second letter written by the Pope to the Emperor William, being a part of the famous corres pondence between those two redoubtable tampions. This letter is said to have Sen kept back by the Emperor in pity fnr his Holiness, who is _ said to have even been sillier in his second fetter than in his first. A leading Berlin paper thus refers to rir:-." We regret to say the letter does exist; however, both its form and its contents make it fat only to thrown into the waste paper basket• for the German Emperor it has, therefore, no exist nce Whoever believes he will render a service to the Pope's cause making it rmblic is free to do so. Impartial history will sne day duly acknowledge the_ma,gnanimity nf the Protestant Emperor William, dis nlaved in sparingtheagedPope, notwithstand ing his repeated grave insults, the renewed humiliation which the publication, of the second letter-that never had any prospect of being1 answered—must infallibly have drawn down upon the writer. You will have noticed that I have lately given a good deal of space to the subject of the squabbles be tween the various churches, but the fact is that the religious struggle, now commencing on 'the Continent, is assuming such: formidable dimensions, and bears such evidence of eventually creating a | tremendous tempest, into which England can scarcely fail to be drawn, that thinking I persons are regarding with anxiety every movement which'tends to cast an influence in either direction. At Glasgow, on Satur-Y day last, Mr Disraeli thus spoke on this sub ject, and what he said is, I assure you, worth ' grave note. He said, " I will speak now of the contest that is commencing in Europe between the spiritual and temporal powers. I look upon it as very grave, as pregnant with circumstances that may greatly embarrass Europe. The religious sentiment is often and generally taken advan tage of by political causes which use it as a pretext; and there is much going on in Europe at the present moment which it appears to me may occasion us soon much anxiety in this respect. I should myself look upoH asiihe greatest danger to civilization, j if, in the'struggle that is taking place be- j tween faith and free thought, the respective sides should only be represented by the ■ Papacy and the Red Republic. And here I must say that if we have before us the.pros pect of a struggle—perhaps of war and anarchy. ultimately—caused by the great question that is now rising in Europe, it will not' easily be in the power of, England entirely to withhold itself from such circumstances. Q Our connection with* Irelandwill then be brought painfully to our consciousness, and I should not be at all surprised if the yizor of Home Rule were to fall offisome day, and you behold a very different countenance. Now, gentlemen, 1 think we ought to be prepared for those cir cumstances. The position of England is one which is indicated, if dangers arise, of hold ing a middle course upon those matters. It may he open to England again to take a stand upon the reformation, which 300 years) ago was i the., source, of her great ness and her glory, and it may be her proud destiny to guard civilisation alike from the withering blast of atheism and from the simoom of sacerdotal usurpation. These things may be far off, but we live in a rapid age, and my apprehension is that they are nearer than we may suppose. If that strug gle comes we must look to Scotland to aid us. It was once, and I hope is still, aland of liberty, and patriotism and of religion.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

A meeting of the members of the Board of Education was held this afternoon. Present: Messrs Beveridge (chairman), Haultam, Philips, Prime, Campbell, and Dargaville. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, a number of letters from country districts were read. The first from Onehunga, asking for an addition of £10, making £25, for the teacher's salary and £20 for school fittings and furniture. The Secretary would furnish the Board with the average attendance at the next meeting, when the matter would be decided. A number of similar applications from other localities were entertained. A report was introduced respecting examinations of teachers from Auckland, the Thames, and Wangarei Heads, with recommen dations, but as it was very lengthy, it was ordered to lie on the table that any member might read it previous to the next meeting, when it would be considered, and if approved adopted by the Board.

THE FOR OF THE LAND.

Fotjl monster ! that feeds on the vitals of man ; That brings all the evils of life in its van ; That's welcom'd in palaces, spacious and grand, Exalted by men, tho' the foe of the land.

Its victims are many, its patronage great, From the plebian low to the Monarch in state ; And great is the numbers and mighty the band That worships this monster, thefoe of the land. The orphan and widow bereave for the sire, 1 he mother so fond sees her darling expire, And grieve for those dearest who could not withstand i Alcohol—seducer ! the foe of the land. LThe gaol, the asylum, the gallows, the grave, . Receive the poor sot, the inebriate slave, .Whose body and soul are both equally dam'd . j Thro' using strong; liquor, the foe of the land. That basest of idols, the Jauggernaut car, That mangled its victims from near and afar, Methinks .as a, motto should go hand in hand ' j With man's greatest idol, the foe of the land. Aye, the Jauggernaut is a specimen true, Tho' it? victims were but a fanatical crew; ]Who'» limits were bounded by India's strand, • Bnt where ends the pow*r of the foe of the land. Where the sun sets not, nor its radiance grow dim, I Universally felt is the monster grim ; East, West, North, and South, there are thousands whose brand : Is misery and want thro' the foe of the land. Were I to write on till- my soul takes its flight From this body of clay I could not indite The evils and sorrows that burst from the brand i Of the Devastator, the foe pf the land. Then pass not its way, nor accept of the drink, . That hurls,you unconsciously over-the brink, j Of the yawning abyss that Satan has plan'd I Thro' his ag»nt strong drink, the foe of the land, ■
