IT is quite true that the chief thing settled con cerning the new Government is that Mr. GLAD arms will be at its head; but it is equally true that the rumours of yesterday have become On beliefs of to-day, and that the circumstances governing the general constitution of the Cabinet can new be spoken of without much doubt. Much depends upon the decision arrived at by Mr. Binxiix, who arrived in London yesterday evening. That he will be cordially urged to accept office by Mr. GLADSTONE, and that ho will have the Secretaryship of State for Irdia offered him may be taken as absolutely certain. Then come the questions--can Mr. Blum IT bring his mind to regard official harness as en ap propriate trapping for himself ? is he prepared to sat in a Cabinet with many of the members of which he is far from being entirely agreed ? would • go through the restraint to which all take upon themselves the responsibility ffire must submit ? Who can say except 'curable member for Birmingham himself ? ROE GORNEWALL LEWIS'S melancholy t " Life would after all be tolerable if t for its pleasures," one could imagine BnionT when discharging some l igation. incumbent on a Secretary iia Tr;;: THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1868. of State ; and whatever may be the conclusion ultimately arrived at it is certain that the great popular lender would make no insonsiderable sacri fices in aeeepting office. Should he kowevee de cline India, but be yet willing to give Mr. GesPerowe the moral weight of his sego port, the Chancellorship of the Duoky of Lancaster would be open to hint. Mould be do cide upon preserving his position as an indopen- I dent supporter of the Government, we may be sure that hia friendship will be hearty and sincere, and in any case Mr. BRIGHT will be au im portant central figure in much of the work to come. Perhaps the person most closely affected, after Mr. GLADSTONE, is the Duke of ARGYLL, who probably stands for the India-office if Mr. 'lntone refuses it. His grace has reneend yeoman's amok° during the last two years ; the Liberal Government wants debating strength in the Upper House ; and his appoint went to the India-office would be a fitting reward for good work honestly done. The Earl of GRANVILLE, as President of the Council, will set a graceful example of unostentatious and unselfish usefulness; and, by his talent, experience, and many ceurtly qualities, will be u real power in the Caliuct. Perhaps the appointment of Mr. LOWE to the Exchequer is the ono that will awaken moat Bur p lee. Mr. CHILDERS or Mr. 00SCHEN aro the n who upon the principle of natural selection might be expected to prepare the annual budget; ender Mr. GLADSTONE, and should Mr. Lowe be created Chancellor of the Exchequer the public will be at lease certain that the office will be a real one, and that the new minister of finance will have both a policy and a will of his own. What Mr. WARD Hvirr has been popularly supposed to be to Mr. Dtaitezei—a mouthpiece, a shield, an hottest but not thoughtful instrument—Mr. Lowe can never be to any Premier under Heaven ; and his appointment, if confirmed. may be taken as an earnest of a vigorous overhauling of our national taxation and an originality of execution in carrying out the policy of the Liberal chief. That Lord CLARENDON should succeed Lord STANLEY at the Foreign-office is so natural and proper that the country would have been surprised bad any other arrangement been made. The ab surd accusations and humiliating retractations of Mr. Disasem when speaking of the foreign policy of the Liberal party are too recent to make it ne cessary to do more than refer to the Earl of CIA RENDoN's services and experience. The Liberal policy continued by Lord STANLEY upon coming into power will be resumed by the repre sentative of the party originating it, and the public will rest satisfied that the national in terests are in skilled and prudent hands. If, as is said, Mr. CARDWI.L' L ie to be placed at the head of the War Department the duties of the position we may be certain will be con scientiously discharged. It is, however, the Home cftice for which Mr. CARDWELL'S talent and training fit him most; and though Mr. C. P. Vieteres, who is named for the latter post, wield make a valuable Home Secre tary, there are strong reasons for wishing that he should occupy his old position as President of the Poor-law Board. The working of the reforms Le inaugurated requires personal supervision ; the sort of legislation of which the Union Chargea bility Bill, the Houselew Poor Act, and the Public Welke Act may be taken as types, is still urgently needed ; and the return of Mr. Vieeinits to the Pour-law Board would be hailed as a good omen by the influential classes who have set their hearts upon improvement in the working of the poor law. For some time past it has been obvious that Mr. CHILDERS would hold high place in the next Liberal Government. His talent is of an ex tremely valuable kind, and has the advantage of icing always readily available. His relations with Mr. GI ADSTONZ, his recent utterances on the condition of our Civil Service, and the need for financial reform, marked him out for the prefer ment Lis appointment to the Admiralty will rea lise. Mr. CHILDERS'S success has been achieved in a very few years, but he has secured the confidence of the country as well as the House, and important reforms in our naval administration are sure to fellow Lis accession to power. Mr. STA.NSIELD, as Secretary to the Admiralty, will more than justify the high opinion of his friends, which the sterling qualities he displayed while a subordinate member of the PALMERSTON Govern ment will have freer scope in the post he is about to fill. Mr. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE, as Chief Secretary for Ireland, with a seat in the Cabinet, will be a useful member of the Adminis tration, it being his happy privilege to render social as well as political services of the highest value to his party. Lord DUFFERIN has been named as Lord-Lieutentant of Ireland, but the news may be premature. If Mr. W. H. Foaseen goes to the Colonial-office, as is said, most of the "new blood" will have been satisfactorily placed ; and it only remains to dispose of the great legal prizes and of the poste and politicians not in the first rank. First, however, it may he remarked that Lord MAYO is the subject of much interesting, and for himself, ominous talk. His lordship, al though only on Lis way to assume the govern ment of India, is already spoken of as a nian whose successor will have to be found; awl it may chance to be that the first official commu nication he receives from Mr. BRIGHT or the Duke of ARGYLL is a summons for his own read. tir ALEXANDER COCKBURN, Sir ROUNDELL PALMER, Lord ROMILLY, and Sir W. PAGE WOOD are the lawyers from among whom the holder of the Gnat Real will be selected. The first would be a splendid accession to the Liberal aide in the Howie of Lords, is personally popular, and has an amount of *emir faire and intellectual quickness which fits him for any position to which he may be called. Sir ROUNDELL PALMER is more of Mr. GLAD -norm's own type of thought, and Sir W. Peas WOOD is a churchman uniting some of the quali ties of each of the two great parties of which the Church of England is composed. It may be that recent events had the tendency of modifying Sir ROUNDILL PALMER'S opinions with respect to the Irish Church, and that the inter view he had with Mr. GLADSTONE yester day removed such scruples as may have remained. Lord ROMILLY'S name is always mentioned with respect; and Lord WEST imaY's signal abilities recur whenever the Lord Chancellorship is vacant. It is worth remarking that if Sir Aeexeereien Coexuune were made Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Jwsticeship would full vacant, and that Sir JAMES Wrepti would be eligible for it, while his present post of Judge Ordinary might be appropriately conferred upon Sir ROBERT COLLIER, the ex-Soli citer-Generul. Mr. Me:molt CHAMBERS, the Hon. GEoltoE DENMAN, and Mr. HEADLAM, arc among the Liberal lawyers entitled to look for some of the other prizes. The Government will, we venture to opine, be constituted in some such fashion as we have indi cated, though, as we remarked in last night's Ea - press, caution is necessary in accepting even tho most positive statements during such crises es the present,.

ELECTION OF PROCTORS FOR CONVOCATION.— DIOCIFTE or LONLON.—Yestcrilay afternoon a meeting of the clergy of the archdeacoury of London was held at the parish church of St. Sepulchre, Snow-hill, for the petrel° of electing two proctors to represent them in the Lower House of Convocation. Thu Venerable W. H. Hale, M.A.. Archdeacon of London, presided. The Itcv. Michael Gibbs, M.A., Rector of Christ Church, Nowzate-street, and the Rev. William Scott, M.A., rector of St. Glave's Jewry, were unanimously elected. A paragraph in the last letter of our special correspondent in Spain has been received with consider able satisfaction. He assures as that the impression which certainly prevails in England, that protestantiom has not even a foothold in Spain, is an entirely incorrect one, and that, all external manifestations of it have been aupprared, there are many in Madrid, and at least • scattered few all over the Peninsula, who have carried on protestant worship in the secrecy of private houses. This information, which is in every way trustworthy, ought not to surprise us ; yet it does so. Our English theory of the matter has been that the policy of suppression had succeeded in Spain. Not that it had succeeded in killing diversity of religions thought, but that it had destroyed diversity of religious profession. Spanish nonconformity denied public expression, had turned, it was believed, to private doubt and contempt. The national worship requiring outward conformity from all, the result had been that men had continued catholic' in profeesion, and bad become entire unbelievers in fact. That this is the case very extensivel' i m Spain there is no manlier of doubt. Catholic uni ty Ends its Nemesis in unbelief. The church gets "mo uth honour, breath, which the poor heart would fain deny, but dare not;" but loses its hold on the affections and con victions of the people. It is • great testimony, and one not needless just now, to the vitality of protettantiani, that even in Spain it supplies • re fuge from the Axed alternative of priesthoods, Rome and authority, or reason and atheism. It can not only exist without State aid, but can spring up, here and tiara, where its very worship is proecribed. What would theme Spanish protestants my to protestant clergy and laity who affect to believe that without a splendid endowment and all the dignities of an establish ment protestantina would die l Thep can cherish it with out even the means of piddle worship ; with all the dead weight of the Roman church mauling upon it ; and all they ask for it is liberty to live in open day.

APPARENTLY DROIVNED. As winter advances risk of drowning in creases ; no time, therefore, could be more appro piste than the present for drawing attention to recent modifications of tho late Dr. MARSHALL HALL'S well-known directions for restoring the apparently drowned. In 1863-4, the Royal Na tional Lifeboat Institution instituted extensive in qui] ies among medical men, medical bodies, and coroners throughout the United Kingdom, result ing in the adoption of certain directions in cases of drowning, founded on the principles of the MARSHALL HALL and SYLVRWIIIR methods. These directions were plainly given but very long, and hence not likely to be remembered by any but professional persons. Some correspondence in the two or three late numbers of the Lancet has, however, resulted in the production of a short set of simple rules, purposely expressed in the language of the imperfectly educated, and hence calculated to be of universal service. They are as follows : I. Lay the drowned man at once flat on his stomach with his face to the ground, and a folded soot or bundle under his chest. 2. Place your hands fiat be tween his shoulder-blades and make fires pressure, eco as to squeeze the the air out of his chest ; then turn the body slowly on to one side and a tittle beyond. Replace him quickly on his face. Count four, to mark four seconds of time, and then re peat the process, commencing by squeezing the air out of the chest again. 3. Wet clothes should be removed and dry ones substituted, each by stander contributing. The body to be rubbed dry briskly, and the face kept from contact with the ground by an assistant. 4. Do not squeeze the air out of the patient's chest if he is breath ing, but wait and watch, merely drying the body and changing the clothing. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The Times reviews the ministerial leadership of Dr. Disraeli. and maintains that he has not only done good service to his party, but that he has also desirved well of the state. Arguing that parliamentary government is im possible without party government, and potty government without circulation of political power, our contemporary concludes that that statesman has not done ill who secured a turn of power for his party and exercised it with an ability and success in administration which his bitterest enemies have not impeached. The Daily Viers seeks to dispel idle rumours which have been current respecting the fancied objection of the Queen to certain statesmen, and observes that the high impartiality, and the controlling sense of public duty, which, amid the changes of party government, have for a gi aeration kept the private feelings of the sovereign in abeyance. deserve record and honour. Referring to the execution by the papal government of Monti and Tognetti, the P. .t says that the interests solely regarded in this matter were those of the temporal tovereignty ; and not even those whose general and per manent interests which every ruler may invoke, but the temporary, transittry. hand-to-mouth necessities of a given diplomatic situation. The guillotine has at Rime been made to do the work of an ultimatum. The Star observes that the new ministers will find themselves opposed by more than the ris inerbu of the officials, and may probably find it necessary to exert their authority firmly and sharply at the outset. The first qualification of the men selected for office ought to be their power to impress their own views on their several departments, and known to entertain views in har mony with the guiding liberal watchwords of peace, re trenchment, and reform. The Standard thinks the remedy for mob intimidations at elections u to be found in the multiplication of polling booths and the free use of voting papers. THE WEEKLY PRESS. The Saturday Review contends that there is no reason to suppose that if theeleetionweretocomeoveragain the liberal majority would be lessened. The English nation must be taken as a whole, and the decision of the English nation is beyond all doubt against the maintenance of the Irish church. But still it remains a fact well worth noting and considering, that the English counties have pronounced with each vehemence and ardour in favour of the conser vatives. Their wishes will not prevail against those of the rest of the nation, of which, after all, they are but a fraction. But in reading the signs of the times it is necessary to ponder over this mani festation of English county opinion. What is the upshot of it all ? It is that when an earnest appeal ii mode to them, the county electors have shown themselves true to protestanti , m and grateful to the clergy. Both of these feelings are good in themselves, and of incontest able value to the nation, although in this particular in stance protestantitm, as our contemporary thinks, hap yens to be mistaken, and the clergy are anxious to get what it would do them the greatest harm to obtain. The Satwrduy Reriett • , however, adds that the feelings which have prompted the votes of the majority of county elec tors are feelings which it would be a great national cala mity to find wanting in England. - - The Spetator credits Mr. Disraeli with having acted .s a wise strategist. By retiring before parliament meets he has avoided that clear revelation of inferiority which so often disheartens a party, and always discourages the waveiers without conviction, and that clear committal of every new member which it is the interest of a ministry with a large majority to secure from the first. Re has also avoided that confession of • split in his own ranks which ie inevitable whenever he makes—if he ever makes —a serious proposal on the subject of the Irish church—a split which would have cost both him and his party half their clerical allies and all their little remaining popu larity in Ulster. Above all, he has left himself free to take up any position he may please, to hoist the Orange banner of no surrender, or put out the old Whig flag of compromise, or even, should the chance ever recur, to plead, as in 1867, that he, and he alone, can secure com pletely the end his enemy is seeking to achieve. Mr. Disraeli has, says tho London Rsoino, an awkward way of rising at awkward moments, and there is not the least reason to suppose that he has now for ever fallen. lHis resignation, and the circular in which he has justified it, acknowledge most absolutely the severity and completeness of his defeat. That Mr. Disraeli never ought to Lave had the confidence of the Rouse of Commons is certain ; but that he did in a sense enjoy it is established by the fact that it would not have been safe during last session to propose a vote of want of confidence. . . The Examiner is of opinion that Mr. Disraeli has done the right thing in the right way. Nobody thinks the Ices of him for showing the moral courage to own himself fairly and completely beaten. He has not waited for the ignominious oeremony of extinction, but walked up calmly to official death and embraced it. In doing so he has taught another great lesson to his party, neither to flinch nor winos when tortase is against them, but, furling their colours, to retire is good order from the Asa ATTACK ON A CITY BY DESPERADOES.

OUR PARIS LETTER. (ROY OUR OWN OORRICIPONDILWr.) PARIS. Funny Err.Nrsn. The hurried account which I gave yesterday of the preparations made by government for the great Baudin anniversary, so far from being exaggerated, was far under the mark. The whole garrison of Paris was under orders to turn out at a moment's notice, from and after 6 o'clock in the morning. /forces were harnessed to twelve Lattcnes of artillery at Vincennes. The Western Railway Company was warned to be in readiness to transport the Imperial Guard from Versailles to Paris. All the sergents-de-ville on leave of absence were recalled for the great occa sion, and as many as 1,300 were on duty in the precincts of the Montmartre cemetery. A more ridiculous mare's-nest than the whole thing was never known. I cannot say how many arrests were made. The Figaro says 300; the Franco, a journal whose stock in trade is moderation, re duces the number to 00. But whether more or less, almost all the prisoners have been enlarged to day because there was nothing whatever against them, except that when hemmed in by a crowd they were not able to get out of the way fast enough when orders were given to clear the streets. A wine-merchant named Millot, who gives his address 2, Rue Richelieu, writes to the Opinion Nationale that, while passing along the Boulevard de Clichy to go home, ho was collared by a policeman, who dragged him to a station-house, where he was kept for eight hours with a stifling crowd of fellow-prisoners, and that, when he asked for a glass of water, ho was told derisively by his gaolers that they were not there to wait upon him. Ilis request to be allowed to find ball, or to write to his wife, was refused. At half-past 2 in the morning he was brought before a judge of instruc tion, who treated him civilly and set him free. Ex Imo dive omnes. This is the story of all the arrests yesterday, with the exception of some few young men, true gamins de Paris, against whom nothing worse can be said than that they jeered at the police. None of the leaders of the demo cratic party were near the cemetery. They systematically kept away in order not to afford the government the desired opportunity of making a little coup The police fought with shadows. The crowds which they roughly dispersed consisted entirely of inhabitants of the populous neighbourhood. naturally attracted to see what was going on by the wonderful display of sergents-de-ville's cocked hats. There are rumours noticed by the Nerd and the Indt'pendanre Beige that the government did think of pulling a good haul of journalists out of their beds at night, but it would seem that the project was abandoned. M. Rouher, it is said, proclaims now that ho had nothing to do with the Baudin prosecution and is sorry for it. M. Paul de Cassagnac, the " model govern ment journalist," as all agree to call him, says this !evening be knows of a certain opposition paper which is the property of a widow, and which widow received at one time a nun of money from "secret funds" when he, Paul do Cassagnao, was an attache of the the Marquis de La Valetta, Minister of the In terior. If the journal in question persists in at tacking the Page M. Paul do Cassagnao threatens to publish the name of the lady. If the useless demonstration of physical force made yesterday were the grand* Inflame of the government, M. Paul de Cassagnao's sally may be called the petit* mores.
