(A COUNCIL MINUTE.) tit appears that, idler the somewhat Oftfonny eundniiifin of the eahmet Outneil which met on Friday seek, a sort ut supplemental I'ouneil Wag held 111.1 Th Which several membent of the Cabinet detiU of etitmideraibly higher oup, , rtsts e than any mete !titian! question. We have been favoured nab all l lute of the (11.411, , ,i0n, hat its character precluded stay very exact report being ~applied. I Sir JAMEn CinARAM, addressing his colleagues, who W4'le putting on their hats and great-coats, said, that though it was quite clear that no three of them were, or could be, agreed as to the propriety of any given course of action, he would, with all deference. submit that this disideration should trot deter them from unanimously agreeing to adopt that course. As his noble friend Lord John Russell had so well bind, when snubbed about the Keogh and Sadleir affair, " It is quite enough if men assented to al generatl 'whey, and no one need inquire into opinions. ,, That, indeed, wits the secret of the existence of their Administration, and he would humbly, but respectfully, urge upon them to tibiae by so Wholesome and hightaintleil a maxim. Lord JOHN ltesscia. said that Sir.lames 4i valiant, as usual. f• 'will or made au opportunity of bringing, up some unpleasant reminisecnecs, under the guise of extreme friendliness. There was, nevertheless. sense in his suggestion. By the way, why was not Sir William ?doles- worth there? Sir JsmEs RA 11All WaS the last man to impute an unworthy motive, but it looked to him its if a wholtosionte dread (oldie Hatfield economists of Southwark had prevented their philosophic friend from being too anxious to be present at. it meeting which might (occasion some inereatted pull on the estimates. Still, Sir William might he unwell. Mr. I:l.stcroxp: said, that, though not holding Sir William's views nn ecchosiastieal or indeed any other matters, he was indisposed to hear him unfairly assailed. There might be ten reasons why he did not attend. Ile might not have been sent for, or the message might have been delayed, or perhaps he could not read it, or it mentioned the wrong day, or possibly the wrong hour, or his secretary bold neglected to give it him, or his horses had fallen lame on their way with hint to the station and he had missed the up train, or the carriages were full, or there had been a breakibown on the ri,ad, or all the cabs were taken at the terminus. EA eryilling ought to he taken into toonsideratiiin before an opinion wits given. Sir J. t luAtt AM said that. his right hon. friend reminded him of an told saying, that a 1111111 who was good at eXCUMCS was good at wonting else. Mr. Iit,AINTONE replied that the fewer of the hon. 1,111'0110 . s own old sayings he was reminded of the better for his political character. (Sens,/ • .1 Lord I'ALMEINToN said that all that might be very true, but was not to the purpose. The point Wlis, what Lord Clarendon was to he ordered to do in the Oriental question—not whether the Chattedlor of the Exchequer was unlucky in his business transactions, or whether the Head if the Navy had ever threatened a mutiny in the Army. Lord CiAlmsnos said that Lord Palmerston hail put things with his usual pleasantness. Ile Was therefore ready (the noble lord added with some asperity) to take "orders." Mr. Gl Ant.roxr. would thank Lord Clarendon not to joke upon it serious subject, which his worldly habits forbade him to comprehend. Qmod index, id lento. (Ansbiose.) Sir CuAnt.Em Wool) said that an idea had struck him. What did they think of sending out a commission to inquire into the condition of Illtssia MO Turkey, and to report thereupon ? It would gain time. if nothing else was gained. (Applimite.) Lord l'usmrusTox said that the only commission which would do any good was the commission into which her Majesty's ships could be put. loitl An Eltht: EN protested—but was immediately and peremptorily silenced. Sir J. GRAHAM remarked that there was one thing that they were unanimous about at least, that was, that the. Premier should not interfere with the i►roecedings of his Cabinet. tboighler.l Lord .1 oiiN Hussri.i. wished to say a weird. It had been rumoure►l that it WBB the intention of the 'Ministers to call Parliament together. (Shouts qt . /any/tier.) Well, it. was all very well to laugh, and nobody enjoyed it mild joke better than himself, but it might be constitution ally accessary, and then, ( 'onus qui (',►a(ts has his colleague Baron Rothschild funnily said), it must be done. Were they ready to meet Parliament ? Lonl PALmEnsrros said he should be too happy—he was very fond of the House. and the House was very fond of him. and they were - glad to meet. Ile lte „ed they would n ot a bst a in Parliament On his aeromit.

RATURDAY, Lord PA LMERSTON said that the retort was very happy. and, Etpropos of nothing. wanted to know whether. since tile 'el Of r. any more (4 her Majesty's vessels had broken their backs. or been wrenched awry, through the extreme competeney ship's rights of pure H a di en i principles : and also whether Bernal (Osborne. on hearing that the ragas el 011141neit be Oft 4,11' the stocks, had Made 'lie about her having had one bottle of wine, and choosing to stick to the port. hanyhter.) Lord ABERDEEN rose to speak, but was called to order, and at The Marquis of l A NsiviwNE said that he took little part in their disputes, for reasons which were immaterial at that moment. Perhaps he remembered too many great men to be very easily interested by the contests of small ones. Sir .1.

If he might advise, he should say—send out word that peace is to be kept. if possible, but that. in any event. Turkey is to be supported. 1.4,rd ABERDEEN : Ah ! but not if— (The Noble Lord's speech was summarily cut sh i rt.) Lord l'As.NtEnsToN : Not strong enough. Sir 3. tiamEim : Not coneiliatory enough. \I r. tit.(BsT(NE: Logically defective, and diplomatically inexact. Sir C. Wool): It is saying nothing. Lord 4 nt vti.Lk : Le jolt ne rani jam lef chandelle.

Well, as nobody sngrests anything else, I suppose this is what I am to say. Is it agreed ? ALL : Unanimously. Sir J. GRAHAM : I Rill reminded of the Critic. "When they do agree, their unanimity is wonderful." And I say, Clarendon, impress upon our newspaper people to lay great stress upon our being "unani motts"—mind that.
