THE NEW MINISTBE TUE course of affairs is understood to have gone smoothly with Mr. GLADSTONE ever since he re ceived the Qi - Ezx's message from Windsor. The hollow absurdity of the rumours industriously cir culated by the Conservatives was pointed out in last night's Exprtss, and all that has transpired since shows how cruel has been tho injustice done her MAJI...sTY in inventing for her antipathies and leanings which have had no foundation in fact. It is little to the credit of Mr. GLADSTONE'S enemies that neither the blameless life of the SOVEREIGN, nor her well-known attachment to the constitution, has preserved her from inuendoes and surmises in themselves disloyal ; for when party virulence stoops to the manoeuvre of assign ing personal distaste' or whims as a motive for acting unconstitutionally it is time to ask where unscrupulousness will stop It is humiliating, however, to know that the solitary plea for be lieving the idle and malignant assertions so reck lessly made, has been found in the ambiguous demeanour and unconstitutional talk of men, whose position should have made the honour of their SovEsMoEtheir first care. The plain truth of the matter is that her MAJESTY received the Liberal leader most graciously, and has comported herself during the present crisis with her accus tomed dignity and sense. The half-crazy suppo sition that any Peer would be required to mediate between the Crown and the PREMIER elected by all England should not have obtained an instant's credence in any quarter. Tet rumour was busy to this effect during a great part of yesterday ; and people not otherwise de mented talked gravely of more than one member of the Upper House 1111 a sham, or " pro " perty" Prime Minister. behind whom Mr. OLAnsioss was to hide. This foolish talk is at an end now ; and no one ventures to dispute that the Cabinet will be composed of such materials as the new PREMIER thinks best. The great families of the country have given him their hearty sup port. •nd there is no luck of representative men in all sections of the party from whom choice can be made for office. A really strong government is what the House and the country long for most, and by a judicious admixture of mem bers of the late Liberal Cabinet with men whom the advanced Liberal party claim as their own there is little doubt that Mr. GLADSTONE will enter upon his tenure of power with every prospect of a vigorous and successful reign. This is certain— the Cabinet should be a catholic one, and none of the various sections of the Liberal party should have undue prominence over the rest. The state ment put forth confidently in this morning's Stan dard that wherever it is possible to contest the seat of a member of the Government seeking re-election the Jury party will put out its strength to prevent his return, will not be without its effect upon the Cabinet. Men whose waits are safe will have considerable advantage over colleagues of the same standing and powers who have been returned by a narrow majority ; and where there is a probability of defeat, it will be wise to defer a recognition which might result in mortification to the man upon whom it is conferred. The interviews held last night between Earl CLARENDON and Mr. GLADSTONE and between Earl GRANVILLE and Mr. GLADSTONE speak for themselves ; and the club gossips have been busily engaged to-day in the pleasant work of shuffling the official oards. Mr. Lows is credited with a rather unaccountable desire to go to the War Office instead of to the department with which his name is honourably associated, and over which his abilities and accomplishments so eminently qualify him to rule. The pamphlet just issued by the right honourable gentleman on Middle-Class Educa tion, is not to be taken as any sign that its author has any special leaning towards dealing with the subject for the State, and as Mr. Lows is a power wherever be is or whatever he does, it is possible that the choice of his destination may be one of the most delicate duties falling to Mr. GLADSTONS just now. For Mr. Lows's return to the fold is too mat to allow the world to forget his elo- quent diatribes social popularity the Conservative when his future tire capacity are The popular run ship of State fee War to . founded on the old official principle of patting the round men in the Aquas* holes, and vice reran. For though Mr. CARDWELL'S official experience would be of infinite value wherever he was placed, he has no !pedal qualifications for the War Department, while the whale tenor of his public life fits him for the 'post to which so many delicate duties connected with the Church and so muoh personal communication with its dignitaries will pertain. As Secretary for the Home Department Mr. CARDWELL would render far more official service than in Pall-Mall; and the interests of the new Government will, it is suggested, be best con sulted by placing him in the former post. It is unnecessary to go ihrougla the offices of State con cerning which so much idle speculation and real interest is aroused. Each club, and every political coterie is busy, all naming their own favourites, with as much confidence as if Mr. Gt.sorroNE were consulting them from hour to hour. What is positively known is that considerable progress has been made in the construction of the new Cabinet, and that Mr. GLADSTONE has met with the most cordial co-operation from the members of his party. Unity of purpose and loyalty to the great principles which the present parliament has been elected to uphold are the leading charao teristies of the Liberal majority at the present time, and all wishes are centred upon Mr. GLAD trrora and the career before him. Among the rumours floating about the clube this morning is one that Parliament may be opened by commission and without a guzzles speech, and that the writs for the ministry may then be moved for and the House prorogued. These are, however, small matters compared with the delicate and onerous work which Mx. GlAD rrola has in hand ; and it is satisfactory to say that what is known of the inner history of the last few hours is eminently cheering to those interested in the future of the Liberal party. deed of arreogemeett. The Lowe Juirerms, upon an appeal, took the course of annulling the bank= ruptoy, the defendants having been, es it was alleged, consenting parties to the deed of arrange ment. The plaintiff Saud thin brought this action against Buzz and the other party (the very names might be made something of is s bur lesque), to recover damages for injury alleged to have beef► done to his business by the action of the defendants in getting him declared a bankrupt, and the ease came before Lord Chief Justine BOVILL and a special jury, with three counsel on one side and two on the other. The rest really read. U a infra Was a ,IoAellai. 66 11. J.• .“411, and the matter," says the reporter, "had " also been before the Court of Error.' Lord Chief Justice Bovitz, after the ease had been before him for two days and a half, was three hours and a half in summing up, and left twelve questions to the special jury. These unfortunate men, after having considered the matter for two hours and a half, answered some of the questions, but said that there was no prospect of their agreeing upon the answers to be given to the others. " His Lordship then varied the form of some of " the questions, but this led to no better result. " The jury again retired, but after a time they " sent to say, ' All and every argument is es " ' Intuited, and it is utterly impossible to agree,' " and thereupon they were discharged without " having come to a verdict." Some may pity the defendants, some the plaintiff; for our part we invoke a little pity for the twelve spe cial jurymen, with twelve questions to shuffle between them, some of them kindly varied by the astute Chief Justice. They must have de parted with a desperate sense of the unreality of the whole business, and it is to be regretted that Lord KINTON was not upon the bench, to wind up the proceedings with his celebrated piece of irvelevenee—" Gentlemen of the jury, you " may now go to your homes, and lay your heads " upon your pillows with an easy conscience, say " ing to yourselves as you fall into peaceful " slumber, Aug Qum., ant sitillas !" OUR CONTEMPORARIES. ITMS DAY.) MB ALLWIA To those Englishmen who are not so much hardened in the school of rife as to have lost all natural sinsibility. it is, °biomes Dhe Daily News, somewhat annoying to find that, after all the dining and toasting, the effusive speech making, and the maple assurances of the last two worths, we are Mill enviroesd by the vexations and resentments of the dismal Alabama controversy. An assurance was given that all was settled, and there was no more to do ; and when the bend struck up and the blue fire blazed, and in the centre of the teller Kr. &nerdy Johnson was seen falling on Mr. Laird's neck, it was hoped that the tonehing spectacle was a fit sables of the complete reconciliation of the two countries. An American correspondent of the Daily News has, however. shown by quotations from the American press how wide-qwead is the irritation prevailing on the other side of the Atlantic. Our contemporary fur ea more than one occasion expressed a fear that Mr. 'Wordy Johnson was not going the way to carry his countrymen with him ; but the language of the chief American jour nals shows that the effect of his conduct is not well under stood on the other aide of the Atlantic. Mr. Johnson is exceedingly popular hers, not boom's* he has met Mr. Roebuck, Lord Wharocliffe, and Mr. Laird, bet because he has always manifested a sinoere desire to promote friendly relations between the two countries. The Deily News thinks that the removal of Mr. Johnson before the Alabama difficulty is disposed of would be the deliberate sacrifice of a most efficacious agency in the work of tat MT AND TUE INTILANCI. Although maintaining to the last a brave front before the public, Mr. Disraeli bad, the Tines says, never been able to disguise from himself the truth that the re sult of the general elections had been fatal to any hope he might herb had of dill retaining his position, and he determined to seek safety in voluntary abdication. The promptitude of the summons to Mr. Gladstone, the unhe sitating acceptance by her Majesty of the advice given by her outgoing minister, and the unfettered discretion re posed in Mr. Gladstone for the formation of the new government, must dispel ono. for an the idle rumours, engendered by the mere inventiveness of envious malice, which hinted at difficulties thrown in the way of a liberal administration by personal distaste or private repug nance. TIM NOTITI POR 111:1110NATION. The Revak, frankly recognises the generally fair spirit in which its contemporaries have appreciated Mr. Disraeli's motive in proffering his resignation without waiting fora hostile vote. They have, indeed, with one exception, the Herald tells us, aknowledged that Mr. Dieraisb's acquiescence in the declared will of the country, as indicated in the numerical majority awarded to Mr. Gladstone, has been conspicuously marked by dignity, good mum, "and a generous consideration for the diffi culties of the statesman who has sucoessfully conspired against him." WILLI lAA YR. DISIABLI ACTIIIVED ? If, says the Times, Mr. Disraeli were to clam hie poli tical career to-day, it could not be said, and he osetainly would not himself think, that he bad been an unsuceesdul man. He has attained his highest ambition, and how few can boast as much No hostile majorities to the very end of his life can prevent him from having been Prime Minister of Ragland. He has been sent for by his So vereign ; be has formed an administration ; be has wit nessed the envy of his friends and the still more de lightful animosity of his foes ; he bas established confi dential relations with royalty, he has snubbed a lord chancellor, he has created a duke and an archbishop—in short, he has concentrated into a few months all that is most exquisite in human greatness. Nor are his more solid political achievements inconsiderable. Though Mr. Gladstone may deserve the honour attaching to the re form of the representation, Mr. Disraeli has gained it.

Masa: Smart. The government has succeeded in making a very diminutive and supremely ridiculous imitation ofa coop Vied on this the anniversary of U. Baudin's death, Deo. 3. It will be rememberedthat at the two recent trials in Paris the Advocate-Imperial sought to attenuate the frivolous character of a state pro secution for subscribing to a monament to Baudin by the allegation that the subscription was only ancillary to a great demonstration, projected by the democratic party for this day. Tho defendants protested that they never had any such ides. Since their conviction all of them who write in newspapers have exhorted £Wb to play the government game by going to the cemetery on Dee. 3, and, instead of provoking a foolish struggle with physical foroo, to reserve their strength for the elections, at which every citizen may most constitutionally give efficacious expression to his opinions. Never theless, the government thought it expedient to pretend to be frightened. As early as 7 this morning the Montmartre Cemetery was occupied by at least 300 policemen, who bivouacked on the open spaces, lit camp fires, and regaled them selves with the traditional Eatery sausage and wine. Aline of sergents-de-rille with their imposing cocked hats extended all the way from the cemetery along the external boulevards down the Rue Notre Dame de Lorette, and as far as the Rue Cadet. The old Clichy prison was occupied by two battalions of troops. At 11 o'clock, when the funerals of the morning were over, every body in the cemetery was turned out. The strong measure, thought so shocking and incredible only a month ago as to be indignantly contradicted by the Patric as libellous on the government, of ex cluding the public from the cemetery, was resorted to. As was inevitable, the rumour that something unusual was going on, produced crowds in the popular quartet of the Boulevards near the ceme tery, and abutting upon the Rues Clichy, Blanche, and Douai. I think it quite safe to affirm that, with the exception of a few hot-headed etudente, there was no political element in the crowd. Every influential leader of the opposition delibe rately kept away. Nevertheless, the people assembled from mere curiosity and hissed the police. At 2 o'clock a well-dressed man, who did not get out of the way fast enough when ordered, was arrested. By half-past 3 as many as 15 or 16 arrests were made. At 4 o'clock the order was given to clear the Boulevards. The police made a furious charge, and upwards of a hundred people, taken at random, were con veyed to different guard-houses. By half-past 1 the boulevards were quite clear. A little later tho police entered the Restaurant beget, in the Rue do Bruxelles, passed in review all the people who were taking refreshment there, and ultimately arrested two. These events, which although not yet generally known so fully as I have recited them, are, in the main, within the public cogni saner, have produced not the least sensation. The Bourse was very firm, and Renton closed with scarcely a fractional change. The appeal court of Motu has reversed the ter ribly subversive judgment of the correctional chamber of Clermont-Ferrand. It, however, only inflicted upon the Independent du Centre the trivial punishment of a 20/. fine. Whatever satisfaction the government may derive from this judicial vic tory is neutralised by the news that the Proyri'l Liberal, of Toulouse, has been acquitted. This is the third acquittal in the provinces. I cannot tell whether there is any truth in the assertion which I see in various forms in several -se/pers. that the Emperor now says the Baudin prosecution 1%11.4 a mistake, and speaks angrily of the tuinisters who set it going. An illustrated paper, L'Eelipse, was to have appeared to-day with a portrait by Gill of M. Tenet, the author of the History of the 2nd December," but the censorship, deeming the pic ture seditious, has not allowed it to be published. The bar of Paris will go officially to Berryer's funeral at Augerville on Monday, and in all pro bability deputations from the different provincial bars will attend. . . r PRESS, FRIDAY E'' , i 1 DECEMBER 4 1. . . 4 , .• ...,,.,,,„........„ e I I P • 1,13 urrris • against reform ; w 1 '," 0 1, 4 )1 1" I:'• • '1 i . .t , llr k, eN N , . ty among the lead _ i ' , .A the I. 5 I .! , i . 1 ve oamp is not svi . au. . plain ha .1 . , to •.. 1 \ .. : = DAY.) t; , 4 cillsagignumg TER le position andids . . • - .

WHILE Mr. GLADirroza is busily engaged in forming his administration, the ingenuity of dub gossip, and of gobemoncherie in general, will be strenuously employed in fancy cabinet-making and in speculative joinery. The construction of a Ministry appears to 'some people as easy as to round off cups and balls with a turning lathe. There can be no great harm in this artless inge nuity, except that it is apt to be a little embarrassing to the personages whom the inventive partiality of carefully incorrect information presumes to desig nate. In certain circles politics are nothing but a game of chess, and it may be not unamusing to the public to see the pieces moved over the board by hands tolerably expert in curious combinations. But there are more important present moment than the adjustment of the claims of the Right lion. A, of Mr. B, or of Lord C, to this or that high office. In matters of general policy, whether foreign or domestic, that ex treme difference between the two great parties which existed five-and-twenty years ago has ritetirally disatexared. No possible Government of England could now be disposed to pursue a reactionary or repressive policy at home, or a policy of intervention and adventure abroad. Whether the Tories or the Liberals are in power, there are certain broad lines of liberty and tolera tion, of prudence and reserve, from which neither can be tempted to depart. The national will is now too enlightened and too strong, the sense of the country too decided, to permit the possibility of dangerous resistance to the persistent ten dencies and advancing moral forces of the age. The first general election after the reform in the representation has shown, no doubt, a certain re luctance in large bodies of the community to move too fast or too far. There must always be in our old and complicated society a force of inertness which dislikes and dreads change as change. On the other hand, it cannot be denied that the Conservatism of 1868 is at least as advanced at the as the official Liberalism of the PALMERSTON regime. And the majority which has restored Mr. CiLanerroxs to power unquestionably represents that new political force which the new electors have scarcely yet learnt to use ; a force compara tively latent and indirect at present, but which will make itself more and more felt in the new Par liament, with the increasing pressure of the new constituencies upon their representatives. There is this significant difference between the first Parliament after the first Reform Bill and the first Parliament after the second Reform Bill: in both the Liberal majority is more than ample ; but in spite of the numbers against them, the Conger. abyss of 1868 are rejoicing in the essentially safe and moderate composition of the new House. The Liberal majority of 1832 steadily declined and became gradually converted into a powerful Tory majority. That Tory majority fell to pieces by its owl weight, and was dissolved by the action of public opinion out of doors, which compelled the conscience of PEar. to capitulate, and to sacrifice his party and his own power to the safety of his country. It may be that the course of events will take a different turn in the coming years, and that the Liberal majority in the Reformed Parliament, which the Con servatives find so moderate and so safe, will, unless full satisfaction be given to the widening popular demands, become in successive Parlia ments less and less agreeable to the old parties. The new electors are not yet conscious of their power, nor are they under existing elec toral conditions capable of using it with effect. Let them once be aware of their power and in a condition to use it, and let some great question nearly concerning their interests as a class be come the signal for agitation and the watchword of their candidates, and Mr. Disitaatia's cleverly contrived " Tory democracy" will be found to con tain a very insignificant minority of " Con ' " servative working men."
