LORD SALISBURY FROM A MOORISH STANDPOINT.
Some extracts from the diary of one-of the members of the Moorish mksioo to England appear in the ''People's Friend.' This gentleman seems to bare gone away with some topsy-turvy impressions of this country. "Lord SaßsbuTy," he says, "is an old chieftain who lives in the Leeds Parliament House in the winter, and goes into the coun try to sleep and rest in the summer. The Chief Minister," adds the Moorish diarist. " can do anything he Ukes; even though he committed mnrder he could pardon himself and hang someone else." lie prerogative of paying the King bis money " and keeping what he wanted for himself'' is also attributed to the Premier. Onr Moorish friend also records his impressions, of the police constable. "The police gentlemen are placed all over the great cflaes in different corners, and are not permitted to run or move with any indecent haste. These officers are very incorruptible, and you can only temot wem to forsake their high duties by the «ight of gold."
