THE POPE AND THE QUEEN.
To the Editor op tub ' Evening Mail.'/ Sir — We have been anxiously looker the Mail thia evening, expecting an explanation from one or other of the three delinquents referred to by your j correspondent " Eoglishraan " in his, honest) and gentlemanly letter, bm were doomed to disappointment. Tpiie, a valiant champion has stepped forward/ in their defence, and what a defence/ How feeble and how funny is this defent/e by Mr Bunny, 'tis a most lame attempt at disguise, sophistry from first to lafst. A greater than Mr Bunny BaH no/ore than eighteen centuries ago, "No /man can serve two masters, he either/ will lore the one and hate Ihe other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other," and so it must be, as ihey/themselves have now shown. They have loved their own master, the Po| c. and despised the Queen, have elected \to place (he Pope upon the lighesi pedestal in the realp, and to plase our beloved Queen, God blesl her, \t the Pope's footstool, and thia in a Bwish colony. Our Queen is insulted, as also the whole of her subjects, whilst the honor due to our Sovereign is transfprred to a foreign priest, called Pope, by her own professedly loyal subjects. I am, &c, f i Loyalty to the Queen. Nelson, Feb. 11, 1875,
