Baronet with defects exactly opposed to those great qualities by which he is characterised; but we challenge any one to produce three measures so daring and effective as the property-tax, the tariff, and the constitutional prosecu tion of the Irish agitators within any three years of our ' history. We name these measures only; bat look to `the last three years—to China, India, Canada—have not Sir Robert Peel's bold, vigorous, and decisive, ; and yet noiseless and calm measures of Govern ment advanced the empire a whole century ? If we were at liberty to speak of measures, which we believe to be in contemplation, and of men likely to be called to the councils of Government, we could show that the hap- piness of the very humblest classes of the people is no less the care of the Premier than the wealth, power,: and general prosperity of the empire. The session of 1845 will, if we are not much mistaken, be a remarkable one —one never to be forgotten by the labouring classes— Non operariis taccnda gentibits. We may not, however, go farther in this direction. Lord Dalhousie is a matt of great commercial knowledge, of great talent, as bold, vigorous, and decisive in his views of public policy as Sir Robert Peel himself, and as kind-hearted and humane. Such a man will be in the situation in which he can be most eminently useful to his Sove ivign and his fellow-subjects, at the head of the Board of Trade. It is, however, certainly not true that Mr. Cardwell has been definitively selected as Vice-President. Mr. Cardwell's character and talents qualify him for that or even a higher office ; and there is little doubt that, if he wishes it, h 6 may command an eminent station in the public service ; but it can serve no good purpose to retail what are known to be false hoods, or what, as having no higher voucher than the gossip of the Clubs, may be fairly presumed to be false hoods. We fairly tell our readers that we will give them no guesses, either our guesses or the guesses of others—as anything bat guesses. If they wish to be cheated with conjectures retailed as facts, they must go to another shop 9 - we do not deal in th e commo di ty. T o recapitulate :—Sir Thomas Fremantle will be the Irish Secretary ; there will be some other changes connected and unconnected with the vacancy of the Secretaryship at War ; and the session will be distinguished by some most gratifying measures. 11 and 3.

By JOIIN LINGARD, D.D. N.B. This is not a mere reprint of the "Antiquities of the Anglo- Saxon Church," published above thirty years ago ; for though the substance of that work is incorporated in the present, yet so much additional matter has been introduced, that this may be considered a new work. POST.—Our readers are aware that we anticipated some changes in the constitution of the Cabinet before the meeting of Parliament • but we confess th a t th e re tirement of Mr. Gladstone from all share in the Govern ment has taken us somewhat by surprise. We are in clined to think, too, that it has put the Prime Minister to no small inconvenience, and that the arrangements he has at last come to—because, with the opening of Parliament so near at hand, they could no longer be postponed—are by no means those which he could have wished. We should be very sorry to offer any disparage ment to such excellent and gentlemanly persons as Lord Lincoln and Mr. Sydney Herbert; but we think the com mon sense and common observation of the country will be with us, when we say that they dc not add much strength to the Cabinet. They are very fairly diligent in their business, graceful in their deportment, having the best intentions, and an average facility of expressing their views in the House of Commons. But the task of conducting the Government of Great Britain, and of 1 usefully contributing to the deliberations and determina tions of the Cabinet Council, seem to us to require some thing more than belongs to the talents of these very respectable persons Political knowledge, experience of business, habits of energetic thoughtfulness, force of character, earnestness of purpose, readiness and vigour in the debates of the House—these are the requisites for high station in the Government. These we do not find—at least not in any considerable degree—in the very respectable gentlemen who are to be added to the Cabinet Council. We do not think it is a good thing to have a Cabinet containing two or three men of admitted leading power, while all the rest are men mere fitted by nature, by acquirements, and by character, to take sug gestion than to give it. And this, we think, is more emphatically true when even th e leaders are men rather of first-rate talents than.of high genius. If such a man as the Duke of Wellington, or rather a man with capacity for civil affairs analagous to that of the Duke in military affairs--if such a man were at the head of the Cabinet, affairs might go on all.the better for the non interference of his colleagues of the Council. But while every one must admit the comprehensive knowledge of the present Premier, the care with which he studies the public business, the sincerity of his views for the . public welfare, and the discretion with w hi c h h e leads his Par liamentary forces, still his is not the master mind, nor his the indomitable energy, which needs no assistance. He may indeed think with old Nestor— " it is not strength but art obtains the priz.>, An to be swift is less than to be wise," which, indeed, we ourselves venture to maintain, not withstanding the furious railroadism of this " en lightened age." But we also must maintain that a man who is not gifted with the towering mind and fiery energy which go straightforward to their point, only requiring instruments to which they supply the need ful inspiration—such a man, however consummate in art, requires another sort of assistance for governing a great state than that which mere average sense and ac complishments can supply. how does te Premier ex pect to get on in the house of Commons ? Is he to take all the important speaking on the Ministerial side to himself ? His chief assistants were Mr. Gladstone, Lord Stanley, and Sir James Graham. The first retires, the second is gone to the House of Lords, the third, indeed, remains, and a very clever speaker he is in Oppo sition, where the object is to wound, but a very danger ous assistant on the Ministerial bench. Besides, he is an extremely unpopular man, and almost every thing he says is received with more or less of prejudice. Un less, then, the Premier take all the important speaking to himself, what is to be done ? Say that Sir Robert is a match for Lord John and Lord Palmerston, will he think it safe to turn over Lord Ilowick, and Sir George Grey, and Mr. Macaulay, and Mr. C. Wood, and Mr. Vernon Smith, and the rest, to the replying abilities of Mr. Herbert and Lord Lincoln ? As for Francis Baring, he may be assigned to the care of worthy Mr. Goulburn, and that be enough for each. But we had forgotten the new man, Mr. Cardwell. Oh, Mr. Cardwell ! Yes, he will do wondrous well if he be given three hours to write his speech, and thirteen to commit it to memory. Mr. Cardwell may, indeed, turn out an able House of Commons debater, as Sir R. M. Rolfe turned out a very able Judge when no one ex pected it ; .but we believe that even Mr. Cobden will not think much of making minced meat of Mr. Cardwell. his free trade principles (if such they may be called) go, indeed, as far as Mr. Cobden's ; but for this very reason we assign him over to the tender mercies of the modest Member for Stock port. Two of a trade can never agree, especially when one is the pet and the other the aversion of the Minis ter. But why has Mr. Gladstone left the Govern meat ? That is the question. Has he listened to pa ternal counsel, and ceased to think that to buy in the cheapest markets of the world is the best national policy? Has he learned that, in the present state of Great Bri tain, the employment of the people is of more importance than profit upon capital devoted to foreign trade ? lie fearful of facing the practical results of the Tariff and the Canada Corn Bill, and of going on in the same course ? Or are we to apprehend Government measures with regard to the Church which Mr. Gladstone, as a conscientious churchman, cannot support ? This is what strikes us as most probable. The Church and the landed interest generally go in the same boat. The landed interest has had its pleasant experience of the application of a liberal policy to its position and its prosperity. It is but conformable with custom that the Church should come next. If it be so, the Go vernment will not hold together. Other defections will occur as well as that of Mr. Gladstone, and Whigs must be taken in to fill the vacant places. And then the end will not be far off. We confess we do not regard with out apprehension the changes which have been an nounced. They look rather like the beginning of the end, and we are sorry for it. We think that a firm mind and a kindly - heart might keep the present Government together ; but dexterity and labo riousness, combined with Liberalism, will not. A morning Contemporary, which looks upon the announced changes more hopefully than we do, says that it can scarcely remember any former period at which a Government had before it greater inducements and occa sions to promote the public good, or when it was more able to encourage its friends and silence its opponents by a policy worthy of the great party which placed it in office. The great party which placed the present Mi nistry in office was the agricultural party. Whether a policy worthy of that party is to be adopted we do not know, but we certainly see no reason to expect any such thing ; and, if such a policy were adopted, we fear that the Contemporary we have quoted would give it but small assistance. ADVERTISER—The President of the Board of Trade has resigned. We prepared our readers the other day for changes in the Ministry , but this is one which we must on ec m tetl r.

By order. CHAS. A. SAUNDERS, Secretary. Loridon Terminus, Paddington, Jan. 20, 1845, R ICHMOND and WEST-END JUNCTION RAILWAY. The COMMITTEE of this RAILWAY are happy to announceithat the Board of Trade have declared their intention to report to Parlia ment in favour of the undertaking, as well as of the Staines and Richmond Junction, and the Metropolitan Extension of the Sout West e rn Railway. Thus the Richmond Company will have accessh to an excellent terminus in the metropolis, and also derive a large additional amount of traffic from the line to Staines. Active negotiations are in progress with the landowners and hold ers of property en the line for the purchase of the ground necessary for the purposes of the railway; and in far the majority of cases a highly satisfactory prospect exists of the respective treaties being con cluded upon fair and amicable terms. By an agreement entered into with the Directors of the South- Western Company, the execution of the most expensive portion of the line originally adopted by the Richmond will be transferred to the afwesaid Company ; who have also agreed to furnish the locomotives, carriages, and working plant of the railway. The terminus of the line will be that selected by the South-Western Company for their metropolitan extension, namely, a point situate in immediate proximity to the entrance of the Hungerford Suspension Bridge, on the Surrey side. The easy nature of the works to be accomplished on their part of the line, which presents no features whatever that can occasion diffi culty or delay in their construction, has enabled the Committee to enter into arrangements, by which the completion of the whole line will be effected within the period of ten months after the Act shall have been obtained.

TIMES.—We are informed that we were premature in announcing yesterday Mr. Cardwell's accession to the office of Vice-President of the Board of Trad,?. Mr. Cardwell will, however, take office under the present Administration. CHRONICLE.—It is impossible to look on Mr. Glad stone's retirement from office as an event without signi ficance and importance. The exact ground of his resig nation is not known ; but there is little doubt that it proceeds from differences which have a long time existed between him and Sir Robert Peel. Religious questions, connected with the Irish policy of Government, aro assigned as the immediate cause ; but this is likely to have been complicated with others. Mr. Gladstone's position must latterly have been rendered unpleasant by questions connected with his own department ; and it is probable that sugar had as much to do as religion with rendering office untenable. It is difficult to under stand what could be the circumstances that gave so great a weight to scruples which had so long been kept in sub ordination. In serving three years and a half with the present Cabinet, Mr. Gladstone has certainly taken his share of inconsistency enough to have taken off the first sensitiveness of c snscience. We doubt whether con: cience has as much to do with the resignation as pride. Some few years ago Mr. Gladstone published a couple of very unwise books on the subject lot the Church, the uoctrines of which it was impossible fur him to act on, and yet ' mortifying to disavow. He has got sore on the subject of his book, and the taunts every now and then thrown on him for lending himself to measures inconsistent with his published opinions. Probably he anticipated several taunts in the event of his throwing over the cherished distinction between slave-grown and free-labour sugar. It was less grating to retire from office altogether, and keep aloof from responsibility for a policy which was everywhere running counter to his professions. At th e same time it would be unfair to suppose that a step so contrary to Mr. Gladstone's interests can be dictated by any selfish fueling. He must be well aware that he retires into the falsest of all possible positions. In quitting office he sacrifices importance and power, without any chance of recovering either in an indepeneent position. The grounds of his resignation naturally bring him into a momentary junction with the ultras of his parts ; but his free. trade profs s sions have rendered him the object of their especial hatred. Nor has he, on the other hand, acquired the goodwill of the free-traders. Never was there a man who has done so much to further the views of a party without having acquired one jot of their goodwill or esteem. Even his Church views will get him but little sympathy among the more religious of our politicians. Exeter Hall, which will approve his intolerance to the Irish, will suspect his ruse) ite leanings ; and Young England, while approving his High Church views, is a warm partizan of that very policy towards the Irish which he leaves office rather than countenance. In quit ting the present Ministry, Mr. Gladstone leaves the only body of public men with whom he can ever hope to act. Personally his only course will be to get back to them as soon as he can. But this can hardly be, with credit to himself, while they remain in office : for there is little chance of their measures doing anything but widen the difference which his resignation has evidenced to the world. His character has none of that pliancy which will enable him to retrieve his position. He is eminently deficient in the qualities which attract either general popularity, or the warm attachment of friends. He is neither the favourite nor the necessity of a party, nor even of a clique. In fact, we know of no instance in which a man of his vigour and talents, by leaving office, has gone so far, to all appearance, to throw himself out of public life. In discussing the consequences of his retirement, we do not think it likely that he will be inclined, like Lord Stanley in similar circumstances, to become the opponent of those with whom he has acted ; nor do we believe that, if ho were so inclined, his opposition would have much effect. His resignation on these particular grounds may add a little to the bitterness of the No-Popery feeling. But it will for the same reason conciliate the Liberal party ; and on other grounds it will generally please both the country gentle men and the mercantile body. On the whole, it will rather strengthen the Government in public opinion. On the other hand, the loss of Mr. Gladstone's assistance as a debater will be seriously felt by Sir Robert Peel. He has recently been deprived of his main supports in the House of Commons ; and there appears to be no talent in his party coming on to supply the place of those whom he has lost. The speaking force of the Minis terial bench is now reduced to Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham, backed by hardly any one to whom the House will listen. The changes in the Government are, on the whole, very favourable to our views. Mr. Glad stone's resignation is a homage to the necessity of a liberal policy, and the same policy is asserted by the selection of the new members of the Government. Mr. Sidney Herbert, on a memorable occasion during last session, committed himself to the most liberal views on the subject of Ireland ; and of the other two members of the Cabinet we know no harm. All the three are young men, and all may be regarded as likely to be con stant supporters of Sir Robert Peel's views. And while he, with all his faults, is very much the best of his party, the more we can see him surrounded by col leagues who will carry his views into execution, the better for the country. Indeed, as we have before said, his great difficulty consists in the necessity for his having colleagues or party at all. We should wish that the good results of getting rid of Mr. Gladstone might tempt him to dispense with other col leagues, only that, were he to do this on a great scale, he really might stay in fur ever. We must not omit this occasion of expressing our approval of the choice of Sir Thomas Fremantle as Secretary for Ireland. While Sir Robett Peel is limited to selection from the Tory party, he can find no one whose good sense, liberality, and courtesy more fit him for the post. We shall, in deed, be disappoiuted if Sir Thomas Fremantle should prove unworthy of our favourable auguries. The pro • bsbility, however, is, that there are more changes in store. Mr. Gladstone is not by any means the only member of the Cabinet whom an improved policy towards Ireland ought to drive out of office. We do not, of course, attach any credit to the rumour that conscien tious scruples, and a sense of what is due to his own cha racter, have induced Sir Edward Knatchbull to resign. Conscience and character will, indeed, assert a mighty empire, when they;coerce Knatchbull into abandoning the cup of political degradation, with 2,0001. a year remain ing at the bottom. lIERALD.—It is in the management of newspapers as it is in theconduct of life generally, the most serious sa crifices are sacrifices of forbearance. To act is easy, but to abstain from acting when interest and the wish to please urge to action—this is painful and difficult. The sacrifice is, however, one which honest men will offer when a sense of public duty calls for it. At this par ticular moment we are required to offer such a sacri fice. The necessary retirement of the Earl St. Ger mans from the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland has required some modification, though a slight one, of the official arrangements of the Ministry. It is certain, or, at least, nearly certain, that the Noble Earl will be suc ceeded by Sir Thomas Fremantle, and all admit that a better appointment than that of Sir Thomas could not be made. So far we have had no difficulty ; but a new Secretary at War must be found, and the oppor tunity of one change leads to other modifications ; but as to the successor of Sir Thomas Fremantle, and as to the other modifications, nothing, we can posi tively affirm, has as yet been finally arranged. How, then, are we to act ? We have the means of knowing various propositions and suggestions, and the means of guessing, with a reasonable approach to certainty, at the propositions and suggestions that will be adopted; and if we consulted only our own interest and the gratifica • tion of public curiosity, we might hazard a list of new appointments, with as good a chance of bitting the mark as others. But then comes the question, would our pub • fishing our guesses ha fair to the Ministers, to the par ties chiefly interested, and to the public ? Is it just to the Ministers to embarrass their free selection by an an ticipation of their choice ? Is it just to gentlemen who may, without any fault on their part, be passed over, to advertise them, as it were, for offices which they are never to obtain ? Is it just to others to exhibit them in the light of men who hereafter may perhaps ob tain offices of which no one ever thought them so far worthy as to name them among the candidates for the3e offices? Is it just to the public to throw so many difficul ties in the way of arrangements in the proper determination of which the public has a deep interest? And for ss hat are we to da all this ? In order to be considered a Treasury organ forsooth—a character which we have ever as anxiously disclaimed as others, with certainly no higher pretensions, have schemed and laboured for it. In one respect, indeed, we have qualified ourselves for the coveted distinction—we have tried so to act as not to make a connexion with the Herald disgraceful, cr likely to involve an Administration in suspicion, either at home or abroad. But this is all. We wish well to the Government, because we wish well to the country, which can have no better Government—none other, indeed, so good; but we neither are, nor desire to be, the servants of any Administration, or to pass for its servants. To come back, however, to the expected modification in some of the less prominent departments of Government. There will be, we believe, a change in the Presidency of the Board of Trade, and Lord Dal housie is unquestionably the fittest man in the empire to preside at that Board should Mr. G ladstone retire from it; also in the Vice -Presidency of the Board. Lord Dal housie is not as well known as he ought to be, and as ho soon will be; he is like the Premier, a statesman of the bold, vigorous, and decisive temper, and what Minister was ever more strongly characterised by boldness, vigour, and decision, than Sir Robert Peel?

That which Legislators and Lord Mayor., 801 disuat Philosophes and Philanthropists have long la boured for in vain, is about being accomplished by the most simple and natural means. The efforts of a former Lord Mayor of London (Alderman Wilson), assisted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Joseph Hume, and a numerous host of other public men, lay and clerical, Whig and Tory, with the giant power of the Jupiters of the Public Press, could effect nothing. The great principles of sup ply and demand, price and quality, must triumph in the long run; but at that period people dis covered that though they might demand, they could not be supplied with the best coal, save by the mono polists, and that reduction in price was more than counterbalanced by rubbish in quality. All this will soon be changed. That which could not be effected by Bishops, will be accomplished by Vicars* (our readers will pardon the pun). The projected railway of our energetic townsman, called the " Lincoln, York, and Leeds," and further christened by a dis tinguished nobleman " The Direct and Independent Railway," and which, moreover, we observe by the Times and other journals, has been so well received by the public as to command an immediate premium, is to have a branch line to Goole, opening a direct communication both north and south with Lord Fitzwilliam's immense field of the celebrated Elsecar coal—" black diamond" that do not burn white. This coal, which is considered by practical men to be equal to the " Wallsend" of Durham and Northumberland, can be delivered in London and many other places at little more than half the prices at present extorted from the shivering Cockneys. The supply is enormous, and w ill last for centuries, without the necessity of sinking deep "into the bowels of the earth," as the more northern coal owners are compelled to do. Hence the traffic on the new line will be immense, while the transit will not be less so, seeing that the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Railway, with its Goole branch, will commu nicate with Sheffield and Manchester, London and Leeds, the " North Midland," " Midland Coun ties," and " Birmingham Railways," forming the best communication from North to South, and the most desirable route between all the great manu facturing districts. Having those advantages, in addition to a nearly level line of country, with no engineering difficulties, and of consequence great economy of outlay, there is little wonder that such shrewd and practical men as the Earl Fitzwilliam, the Vice-Chancellor of England, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, the Mayor of Cam bridge, his civic brethren o f Rip on and Pontefract, and even the " unaccountable" Lord Mayor of Lon don (to whom no one denies the possession of suffi cient shrewdness), have publicly, and by position, connected themselves with these railways. It seems to us, from the l a t e p er i o d a t w hi c h " the L ondon, York, and Leeds line," with its important branches, has made its appearance, and been so eagerly snapped up, as to be at a premium th e very first day, that te Scotchman's definition of a feast may he applied to the shoal of railway projects, " the best's aye the hindermost."—Sheffield Iris. * Alderman W. Vickers, of Sheffield and London, founder of the Cambridge and Lincoln, and Lincoln, Leeds, and York lines of Railway. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— Yesterday morning an accident occurred upon this line of railway that will probably be attended with a fatal result. A goods train left Paddington at half-past four o'clock in the morning, and stopped at the West London junction at Wormwood Scrubs, to attach another car riage. One of the guards named Iloratia Nelson Tel verney, descended for the purpose of attaching the con necting chain or driving bar, and imprudently ventured in between the train and the stationary truck whilst the former was in the act of backing into the " siding" where that truck stood. The consequence of such an impru dent step was, 'that as the man stooped to adjust th© chain, his head became jammed between the buffers of' the last truck in the goods train and the stationary one. The unfortunate man dropped instantly. lie was picked up immediately in a senseless state, with the blood pouring from his ears. A messenger was instantly dispatched to the terminus for a alb, and, on its arrival, the poor fellow was taken to St. George's Hospital. where, upon examination, it was aseertq ined that he had received a severe fracture at the has:: of the skull, and the injury was considered of so extensive a nature that his recovery was thought uncertain. SOIREE TO MR. SPENCER lIALL.-011 Wednesday evening, a soiree in honour of this gentleman, who has been delivering a course of lectures in the principal towns of the North, took place at the Northumberland Arms Hotel, North Shields, which was attended by several medical gentlemen and other influential inhabi tants of the neighbourhood.
