The late meeting in South Devon, on the occa sion of the ploughing match of the Woodbury Association, was distinguished for unusual excel lence in the speeches delivered, more especially that of Sir LAWRENCE PALK. Mr. KEKEWICII, the chairman, remarked that agricultural meetings were increasing in the numbers who joined them, and prospering over all the country. In France, like wise, this custom has obtained of late, and it is satisfactory to find that the Archbishop who pre. sided on the occasion directed his remarks to the sions, the amount of the population, and the pecu destruction of small birds which is now going on in liar influences at work.

While the influence of routine and a as a new Reform Bill. At any rate, this is an honest declaration, and shows to advantage by the side of those who persist in going on as if they wanted a measure of Reform, and really militate against its progress. Mr. KEKE wicn created great amusement by assuring his hearers that, if the prophecy of some was realised, and they were again to be shortly dissolved, he would present himself to them again on the hust ings, and trust to obtain their support. Sir LAW RENCE PALK'S speech was the grand one of the occasion. He, also, appeared to be confident of success, should the chances of parliamentary war again bring him before his constituents. Sir L. PALK is a much more liberal politician than his friend and colleague, and expressed himself with equal frankness concerning public affairs. Nowadays `.it is really not of much material consequence which side of the House a man sits on provided he is ready to admit the necessity of change. Immense differences of opinion may exist in various quarters, but the majority will never agree to any startling change, whatever may be the views entertained by extreme politicians. Sir LAWRENCE PALK also testified to the excellence of the man they had just lost, and declared that it was greater than most men can at present appreciate, on account of his peculiar posi tion in regard td both parties. The hon. baronet defended agricultural meetings, which he declared were made the subject of abuse by the various journals which did not approve of them, and he added that he wondered why they noticed them at all if their abilities were so small and their gatherings so insignificant as they sought to make out, and Sir LAWRENCE alluded to Lord RUSSELL'S general course in public life, and came to a conclu sion not very flattering to the new Premier. His meddling and muddling has become proverbial, and his hectoring despatches to foreign countries have been productive of most mischievous consequences. He did not agree with his friend Mr. KEKEWICII on the subject of Reform, but he properly considers that many men of education and intelligence are at present shut out from the representation. Ile inti mated what his answer would be to those who in quired his opinion. "I think a Reform Bill is demanded, and ought to be entertained, and that that Reform Bill ought to be one which will give the elective franchise to every one who is properly educated, and can show that he has a pro per stake in the country to enable him togive a free and honourable vote." As for Lord DERBY'S Re form Bill, Sir L. PALK rightly declares that it was defeated by a combination alike un-English and unfair, and ought to have received more attention and consideration. South Devon has been lucky in escaping hitherto the fearful infliction of the "rinderpest," and the hon. member made some very sensible remarks on this subject. Ile recalled to recollection that at the time of the cotton famine all classes and interests combined to render assistance to those who suffered so greatly. The agricultural interest was true to the commercial interest in the time of trouble, and now it is very appropriately asked, " Is the agricultural interest to bear the loss ?" in this new calamity that has occurred. All the country should combine now, as heretofore, to indemnify those who are menaced by ruin. There is also truth in what was said as to the harshness of an edict of the Government ordering the destruc- tion of all cattle supposed to be infected, and yet to insist upon the losses to be borne by the owners alone. As for education, Sir LAWRENCE PALK spoke out boldly, and declare) that it was the duty of the State to provide a proper elementary education for each child, and to seo that all are instructed in reading, writing, and arithmetic ; but it is not fair that from the public funds " one class of the com munity should receive an education that is in itself capital and wealth, and that even an elementary education is withheld from another part of it." In concluding his admirable speech, the hon. baronet declared that he was Conservative in most things, but he was Reformer enough earnestly to desire that every man, whether the son of a ploughman or of the highest duke, should receive the fair award of his services, and alluded to the treatment of masters in the navy, who never receive proper recognition for their services, be they ever so great. This speech was throughout animated by a thorough English spirit, and was deservedly well received. Arrangements are being made for a campaign in Bhootan, and it is to be hoped that the long-pend ing dispute will be finally and effectually settled. There has been some alteration in the disposition of the troops, and the presence of scurvy in the force on the Bhootan frontier has given convincing evi dence of the unhealthy situation selected for the military positions taken up in the Dooars. It is rumoured that the DEB RAJAH has given orders for all his subordinates to furnish their contingents, and that the TONGS() PEULOW has declined, saying he means to act for himself both as to war and peace. The division of councils and authority in Bhootan, while it certainly weakens the power for mischief, has also an injurious effect in retarding the chances of peace, since if the one party is paci fically inclined, it is ton to one that the rival power takes up the idea of warfare with fresh energy. The whole arrangements of our dealings with Bhootan have been very defective and unsatisfactory. It is earnestly to be hoped that this season may see the end of it, and put our relations with the Bhootanese on a new and firm footing. Military and commercial topics are dividing public attention in India. The question of the native army is being actively discussed. Some persons consider both the native and European armies too large, others think that they are hardly large enough for the immense extent of our posses, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7, IEEF. too rigid observance of the old system is bad, it is also very undesirable to disgust faithful and intelligent officers with the service of the State. A gradual change is in most cases the best, as, for instance, making the knowledge of the native languages imperative on the younger officers, but making an exception in favour of older and more experienced men who are past the age when the effort of acquiring a foreign tongue may be reason ably expected. In commercial matters the intelligence is cheering, and shows the wonderful progress made by India, in the years which have elapsed since the mutiny, iu plain and indisputable figures. According to the returns, the seaborne trade of India, in the year ending last April, amounted to more than 118 millions sterling, being nearly a fourth of that of Great Britain. The annual report of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce contains some interesting observations on the re markable vicissitudes of the past year, which will, says the report, be noticeable in the history of Bombay as hitherto unparalleled in its commercial annals for the reckless spirit of gambling specula tion which possessed a great portion of the commu nity. The unexpected wealth which flowed into Bombay owing to the American war, and the con sequent demand for cotton was most unprofitably used. Wisely laid out, it might have permanently enriched the community, instead of leaving behind an inevitable collapse, and plunging numbers into utter ruin. The report observes that " the poverty of invention displayed in the form which the various speculations assumed was as remarkable as the folly which frequently charac terised them." These speculative manias never last very long, and are invariably followed by a terrible reaction, but the crisis in Bombay was abruptly brought on when the excitement was at its height. The news of the unexpected termination of the American war, which was a surprise to Europe, created unmitigated consternation in Bombay. "Gambling speculations suddenly collapsed, and in solvency and bankruptcy followed on a scale of magnitude unknown in any other crisis of modern share speculation." The consequence has been that " the high position which Bombay previously bore among the commercial cities of the world has been lowered by these gambling transactions," but the report assures the Chamber that the trade of the place is really thoroughly sound, dependent upon no adventitious circum stances for its prosperity. Why, indeed, should it be, considering the enormous capacities of Western India, the ever-growing wants of its population, and the splendid opportunities which lie before Bombay. The brief fever is over, and we need not doubt that returning health will bring more moderation and prudence for the future. The really solid and ad vantageous schemes have passed through a severe test of their merits and solvency, while the fact that the commerce of Bombay has so quickly weathered the storm must give added confidence in its future instead of in any way depreciating its character or importance. VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO THE EX-QUEEN OF THE FRENCH AT CLAREMONT.—Yesterday afternoon the Queen, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse and Princesses Helena and Louise, attended by Lady Ely, Col. Ponsonby, &c., left Windsor Castle on a visit to Queon Marie Amelia at Claremont, near Esher. The royal party drove to the Windsor station of the London and South-Western Railway, where a special train with the state saloon in tho centre was drawn up at the platform. The train proceeded to Teddington by way of Twickenham and Kingston, and from Teddington the Queen and royal party continued the journey to Claremont in open carriages. The Queen returned to Windsor in the evening by the same route, reaching the royal borough about half-past four o'clock. TESTIMONIAL TO MRS. GLADSTONE.—We under stand that the Partick Working Men's Club have in con templation the getting up of a subscription to present a memorial to Mrs. W. E. Gladstone, as a testimony of their appreciation of the boon conferred on the public by Mr. Gladstone's reduction of the taxes which most affect the working classes. It is also proposed to make the subscrip tion one penny each, so that all may have an opportunity of giving something, however small.—North British Mail. LORD MAYOR'S DAY.—Last night the lighting np of the Guildhall; preparatory to Lord Mayor's Day, took place as usual, and the ancient hall was visited by several hundreds of the citizens and their wives, who were admitted by ticket. The hall, with its splendid new roof and other restorations, presented a magnificent appearance. In the course of the evening the Lord Mayor elect, Mr. Alderman Phillips, with Mr. Deputy Reed, the chairman, Mr. Kildos, the secretary, and the members of the Enter tainment Committee, attended the hall, and inspected the arrangements, which appear to be going on most satisfac torily. _ _ _ A communication has been received by the Lord Mayor Hale at the Mansion-house, warning him in effect that his life is in jeopardy, that any day the fate of President Lincoln may be his, that many a better man than he has had to dies suddenly, that "time is near,' and invok ing the mercy of the Almighty upon his soul. The letter is anonymous and without date. DEATII OF MR. DEPUTY LORKIN, THE "FATHER" OF THE CORPORATION.—Mr. John Lorkin, deputy of tho ward of Aldersgate, and the "father " or oldest member of the Corporation of London, died at his resi dence in Aldersgate-street on Sunday last. The deceased gentleman had reached the ripe old age of 85 years, and had for nearly 50 years represented the ward of Aldersgate in the Court of Common Couneil. THE CHRYSANTHEMUMS IN THE TEMPLE GARDENS. —There appears to be every probability that there will be a finer display of chrysanthemums in the gardens both of the Middle and Inner Temple this year than on any previous occasion, inasmuch as the cultivation of the flower is gradually becoming more thoroughly understood. The Temple Gardens will bo thrown open for public in spection in the course of a few days. THE QUESTION OF REFORM.—M. John Lemoinne, referring in yesterday's Debate to the Ministry as reorga nised by Earl Russell, says :—" It is certain that there is a question which will take precedence of all others, viz., that of electoral reform. Upon that question the Govern ment will stand or fall. It is useless to say that the Eng lish people are indifferent to it ; ere many months it will be seen that no water is worse than stagnant water. The great promoter of stagnation is no longer there. He had time before dying to get a Parliament elected under his neutralising influence ; but we are convinced that the truce is finished, that the agitation will soon assume proportions in England which do not appear to be generally expected, and wo shall be very much surprised if, after having in effectually tried two or three Ministries, the new chamber is not itself soon forced to go to the country." ROMSEY AND THE LATE PREMIER.—The following address of condolence from the tenants of the late Premier to Lady Palmerston has been forwarded to the Right Hon. W. Cowper for presentation to her ladyship : "To the Right Hon. the Viscountess Palmerston.— Madam,—We, the Romsey tenantry of the late Lord Viscount Palmerston, desire to express our heartfelt sorrow at his lordship's deoply-lamented death, and our most sincere sympathy with your ladyship and your family in the grief under which you are now suffering. By this sad stroke the nation has to mourn—and we in unison with the nation—the removal of the most expe rienced and most famous statesman of the age, the ster ling Englishman of whom his countrymen were most proud ; but to us is added the greater and more special grief at having lost a generous and considerate friend—one whom we could at all times approach with confidence in his goodwill towards us, and whose uniform courtesy and kindness attached us thoroughly to his person. All our re cellections of him tend to endear his lordship's memory to us, and we humbly trust that it may soothe your ladyship's sorrow to be assured of our true and honest attachment to the noble and good friend we have lost, and also to your ladyship, whose kind-heartedness is so well known to all of us.—We have the honour to be, madam, your ladyship's obedient and faithful servants." (This address is signed by the whole of the tenants.) The corporation of Romsey have unanimously passed the following resolution:—" That this council, while deploring in common with the whole nation the death of the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Palmerston as the great statesman whose sagacity and integrity have, through a long life, promoted the best interests and upheld the honour of the country, desires especially to record its deep sense of the affliction which has befallen this town and neighbourhood by the loss of one who has so longbeen the liberal patron of its local institutions, the good landlord, the large-hearted and general friend, and the generous and judicious benefactor of the poor; and also to express to Lady Palmerston its heartfelt sympathy with her in the irreparable loss which she has sustained. Itis also resolved that the town clerk be requested to send a copy of this re solution to the Right Son. W. Cowper, for presentation to Lady Palmerston," LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 7. By the arrival of H. M. S. Tamar, from Simon's Bay, news has been received from the Cape of Good Hope to the 23d ult., being eleven days later than that brought by the mail. The Basuto war was not settled. The Boers were, however, tired of their campaign, and some of them were talking of retiring to their farms, and divisions had taken place among them through want of c3nfidence in their officers. Tho second Whit worth cannon had burst. President Braund had been sent for to negotiate with Moshesh. George Moshesh was at Aliwal North with despatches for the Governor. He acknowledged that the Basutos were beaten, but said they would not give over their country to the Boers, although they would to the English. He remained awaiting the Governor's reply. A scheme was afloat in the Eastern Province for colonising Basuto with English settlers. The specu lation was expected to turn out very profitable. Parliament was to be prorogued on Oct. 5. Business continues dull. Merchants were, how ever, looking hopefully towards the wool season, but unless there was an increase in price a thorough revival of trade was scarcely expected. SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 6 (Evening). Several journals have decided to make no further allusion to the cholera, on account of the insignifi cant extent to which the epidemic now prevails. Yesterday there were only three cases. FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 7. The Moniteur of this morning says :—" On ac count of the prevalent opinion in England that the cattle plague was imported into that country from Russia, the Russian Government ordered an investi gation to be made on the subject, -whence it results that the cattle plague has not appeared in Russia since 1859." The Union 3ledicale announces that cholera is steadily decreasing in Paris. The total number of fatal cases last Thursday was 80 ; on Friday, 75 ; on Saturday, 70. The Afoniteur states that these figures are entirely correct. BOURSE, Nov. 6.—Two o'Clock.—Rente and Credit Mobiliers have improved in their quotations, while Railway Shares show a decline.

Another season .was inauguratad last evening at the Lyceum Theatre, by the same company as hereto fore under Mr. Fechter's sole management. And— in common, we doubt not, with the vast majority of London playgoers—we heartily trust it may turn out before its close to have been upon the whole as brilliantly successful a season as the happiest of its predecessors. In everything but the intrinsic value and excellence of the principal drama repre sented last evening, it was inaugurated under circumstances quite as auspicious as the very happiest among those predecessors. Again the house was crowded from floor to ceiling. Again the audience compromised, conspicuously, amongst the occupants of the boxes and stalls, the leading cultivators and promoters of art in all its varied departments. Again, too, the greet ing accorded by that considerable and cultivated assembly to one of the most popular Actors and Managers, to one of the most rarely gifted and ac complished Artists of his time, was worthy in its cordiality, at once, of Charles Fechter and of them selves. Added to this—although to the frequenters of the Lyceum it it almost superfluous that we should add it—the principal piece performed was put upon the stage magnificently. Yet, having said all this, it is only right to couple with the enumeration of such mere matters of fact in regard to last evening's entertainment at the Lyceum, the mention of another matter of fact, quite as incontrovertible in its way, as it appears to us, as any one of those but just now mentioned—that the play itself, as a theme, is in many respects unsatis factory. It is in no way worthy as a medium for the manifesation of Mr. Fechter's Genius as an Actor, or of his Munificence as a Manager. " The Watch Cry" is the title of this three act drama It being an adaptation from the old and all but forgotten melodrama, once in vogue, about a quar ter of a century since, among theatre-loving Pari sians, under the name of Lazare le Padre. In sub ject it is partly historical, partly imaginary. The various characters introduced upon the scene hover, so to speak, all through the three acts, around the central figure of Cosmo de Medici. To attempt anything like an unravellment of the plot, would be about as adventurous an undertaking as it would be to give a verbal direction—of a suffi ciently lucid kind to guide a novice at the thrid ding of labyrinths—through all the complex windings and involutions of the Maze at Hampton Court. Sufficient will it be to remark, here, that the hero of the play is one of the five brothers Salviati, who so chivalrously devoted their lives to the salvation of that of their patron and more than father, Cosmo di Medici, the then Chief or Merchant-Prince of the Republic of Florence. Leone Salviati is the character represented by Mr. Fechter—and, so far as the part in any way admits of it, it is exquisitely represented by him. When he enters upon the scene for the first time in the disguise of an improvisatore he fairly cap tivates the eye by the picturesqueness of his appearance. Miss Elsworthy is the heroine of the piece—Leone's wife Bianca, daughter of Cosmo's bitterest enemy, the Duke d'Albizzi. Their son Silvio, a child in the first act, a stripling in the second and third, is (under his appearance as a strip ling) represented by Mr. Fitzpatrick. In the middle of the play it is that its title is justified—The Watch Cry ! given unexpectedly from the palace windows, by Leone, who thereby saves from assassination the imperilled life of his and Bianca's son, the youth Silvio. As a serio comic sort of mediaeval jester Mr. Widdi comb won the house last evening, according to his wont, whatever he does, to frequent bursts of laughter. As the villian of the plot, the purely apocryphal Judael de Medici, Mr. Emery evidenced, once more, from first to last, his wonderful powers of facial ex pression. The dresses were marvels of picturesque beauty and, here and there even, of magnificence. The scenery was elaborate and effective. The coup de Watre at the close of the piece resembles more the transformation wrought by the flicker of the lithe wand of a Harlequin than anything else we ever remember to have witnessed, save in the grand transformation - scene of a Pantomime. Any mere verbal description of it would be inadequate. It must be seen to bo comprehended. Remembering what has here been said in regard to the " Watch- Cry," it is only reasondtale mat we should add in M r . Fechter's interests and in the interests of his Theatre—speaking, moreover, avowedly, as among the number of his heartiest admirers—that we earnestly hope the new Play, after a reasonable interval has enabled the town in some measure to satisfy its curiosity in respect to it, may be suc ceeded by some other Drama, worthier in all essential particulars of the Lyceum Company, and of the refined artist who is its chiefest star as well as its manager. Drury Lane Theatre, Shakespere's " King John" has been produced at the National Theatre with a splendour and com pleteness of scenic illustration beyond anything the management have achieved. The representation of the tragedy," in a style worthy of its grandeur, has been anticipated with great interest ; and it must now be generally confessed that the manner in which the Messrs. Falconer and Chatterton have performed the work is worthy of the most unreserved praise. The cast of characters embraces the whole strength of the com pany. Mr. Phelps sustains the part of the King ; Mr. Anderson, that of Falconbridge ; Mr. Swinbourne,' Hubert ; Mr. Raynor, the French King ; Master Percy Roselle, Prince Arthur ; Miss Atkinson, Constance ; and Mrs. Vandenhoff, the Queen Mother. It is quite unnecessary to speak of the acting of Mr. Phelps in the tragedy, as it is too widely known and highly estimated to need additional commendation ; so, with the passing remark that it was of the usual high order, we proceed at once in regard to the other characters to award them that praise which they richly deserved. Mr. Anderson, as Falcon bridge, of course stood out conspicuously, and we congratulate him upon his spirited rendering of the part; it is certainly one of his best impersonations. Mr. Swinbourne as Hubert was highly effective, and in the celebrated prison scene with the little prince he drew down immense applause, as it was a true Shaksperian performance. Miss Atkinson's Con stance was exceedingly good.. We cannot close our brief notice without awarding high praise to little Masterilloselle, who played Prince Arthur to perfec tion. What " Macbeth" was last season "King John" will certainly be this, and thus a brilliant run is destined for the tragedy, as a more gorgeous dra matic illusion has never been placed on the stage. A LIBERAL RECTOR.—Dr. Close, the Dean of Carlisle, has presented himself to the incumbency of St. Mary's, in that city, and read himself in on Sunday. He has nominated as his senior curate the Rev. William Pettitt, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, formerly curate of Sr. Martin's, Birmingham, assigning to him the whole proceeds of the living as his income, amounting to about £3OO a year, in addition to tho parsonage house. A second curate will be provided by the Church Pastoral Aid Society. SIR HENRI - RAWLINSON has been giving a lecture at the Mechanics' Institution at From°, differing very widely indeed from the kind of lecture the worthy me chanics usually got. It was on life in Bagdad, and Sir Henry told them, among other curious facts, that he had frequently had his rooms carpeted a foot deep in roses, supplied gratuitously to be crushed before boiling for atta. Antelopes were as common as sparro ws in En g land, and during his residence Sir Henry was rarely without a tame loin. Ho had tamed a leopard so perfectly that it followed him about the streets of London, and its only weakness was a belief that babies were meant for it. One of the Persian princes tamed a pair of wolves with which he used to hunt, the mungooso was kept instead of the cat to catch snakes, and the favourite amusement of little boys in Bagdad is to get on the backs of ostriches and run races, and the birds would stretch out their necks and enjoy the thing as much as English race-horses would. Does Sir Henry Rawlinson mean that last assertion for a fact, or was ho gently chaffing an audience, which, after the roses and the wolves, must have been ready for anything ? Spectator.

" The Bokhara troops were defeated by a small division of Russian troops recently near Tashakuda; the latter have since advanced within six marches of Bokhara. " From Cabul we hear that the troops of:the Ameer are in a very discontented mood ; large ar rears of pay are due to them. The Sirdar Übdool rahman Khan, son of Ufzul Khan, has written a letter to the Ameer upbraiding him for the treat ment to which his father is subjected, and also accusing:the Ameer Sahib with having poisoned Sir dar Mahomed Oosman Khan, winding up by de claring that he will kill him should his father die in his hands.

We take the following summary from the Cal cutta Englishman of Oct. 7 : " The fortnight that has elapsed since our last de spatch leaves us nothing of public interest to chro nicle. All business of a commercial nature is at a standstill on account of the Ilindoo holydays ; the courts are closed, and the town is nearly emptied of its European population, who take this opportunity, the only general one in the year, to visit the interior, and cross the bay, in search of health or pleasure. Very little of either, we fear, they will gain this year, for we have been suffering since the com mencement of the holydays from the highest tem perature we ever remember to have occurred in the month of October, and higher than we had this year in May. At present there appears no prospect of rain, or any other change ; and in the country the consequences to the crops threaten to be serious. " The aspect of Bhootan politics is the same as when we last wrote. No one any longer doubts the war is inevitable, and preparations for it con tinue unabated; but the campaign will not com mence before the end of December. " A telegraphic message of the 6th inst. from Lahore informs us, without particulars, of the murder of Lieutenant Ommaney, of the Guides, by the fanatics at Murdan ; and, at the moment of going to press that the opium steamer Lightning took fire shortly after leaving Singapore on the 26th September, but, fortunately, the flames were ex tinguished before much damage had been done to ship or cargo."

THE LITERATURE OF PHOTOGRAPHY. -- Dr. Towler, editor of " Humphrey's Journal of Photography," an d author of that valuable practical work, " The Silver Sun beam," has nearly ready for publication a new work, en titled " Dry Plato Photography; or, the Tanin Process made simple and practical for operators and amateurs." It will be quite a boon to the out-door photographer, as its instructions will enable him to dispense with a considerable portion of the " traps" necessary under the old process, and it will bo very full and complete in all necessary details. Dr. Towlor's late work on photography on porcelain or opal glass, entitled " The Porcelain Picture," will be found a useful guide to that beautiful process. dr our t =Tr?f t ._ ( tau; It --- HER MAJESTY.

The royal party left Wolferton by special train at 11.40, and proceeded direct to the City of the Fens, when the glorious pile of architectural grandeur showed its bold tracery against the clear blue sky long before the station via° reached. Their Royal Highnesses inspected with consider ablei gratification the various points of interest n this magnificent cathedral, which, thanks to modern taste and skill, is being revived with a nery gran deur. As the royal party gazed up at the bea uti f ul octagonal lantern which has replaced the sl/ he which fell to the ground five centuries ago, thao interesting legend of the pious Etheldra 10111 , come fresh to the recollection. This saint is said '4) have been a maiden of a royal race who lived in the 7th century. Twice wedded in name with a 11 ° 13 " .6 of the East Angles, she dwelt a maid-wife for three years, and then married Prince Egfrid, son of tll° King of Northumberland, and her state of Vog ul wife lasted again 12 years.

We believe that a contemporary - has betrayed 311 undue haste in announcing yesterday, as if final/ the resignation of the First Lord of the Admiralty, The loss of the Duke of Somerset would be a s erious, blow to the Administration of which he is one °I the chief supports. In common with the other members of the Government, the First Lord 1138 , placed himself at the disposition of Earl Rus se l but we have no doubt that an important office I sr i 3 O be found in the new Admi n istration for one Iv% has so much talent and influence to place a t its, disposal.
