Mr. Disraeli's guess is to come true at last. "
Cardinal Grandison " is to be a reality. Archbishop Manning left London yesterday to attend a consistory at Rome, at which both he and, it is said, the Archbishop of Malines (Monsignor Deschamps) are to receive the Cardinal's hat. Of course this is another step taken in the direction of what Mr. Gladstone calls " Vaticanism," and furnishes not only another vote for an Ultramontane suc- cessor to Pio Nono, but another possible Pope who, if elected, would continue the policy of the present Pontiff. On one clans of subjects, however, it is -pretty certain that cardinal Manning so far from attempting to 'diiert the policy of the Church from the line of modem currents of thought and feeling, will seek to reconcile it with them. He will certainly endeavour to give that democratic and popular turn to the ecclesiastical policy of the Church on which the l'all Mall was recently speculating as a probability ; and as we pointed out in reviewing his recent reply to Mr. Gladstone, he will be pretty sure to throw his influence into the scale of establishing a modus vivendi between the Pope and the Italian Government. It will be a strange sensation for our English clergy to see the former quiet, and almost " quietist " Archdeacon of Chichester, in the red stockings and hat of a Roman Cardinal.
