To use your own words, in your own letter to the Mayor—you " cannot undo what has been already dcne ;" you cannot repudiate what. you yourself admit as a Protestant Bishop, and what the fathers of the reformed religion selected as one of their chief weap-ms against the delusions of the old faith ; to undeceive and enlighten those who had been long over awed by pretensions to infallibility, and the dominant exercise of the priestly office. It may now and then be found inconvenient and troublesome to the clergy. But whether for good or ill, so it is, and you cannot gainsay the fact. You are even responsible for it as one of the dogmas of the Church of which you are a Bishop, and must content yourself to endure it. Her Majesty has been pleased to appoint E.

THE CHURCH RIOTS at EXETER CORRESPONDENCE. S. Sidweirs, Jan. 18, 1845. Dear Mr. Mayor,—You are aware that last Sunday, as I came from church, I was assailed in a very disor derly manner, by a mob, which had assembled at the churchyard gate. As it .is not impossible that there may . he an attempt at a repetition of such proceedings to-morrow, I thought it right to inform you, in order that you may take such steps as will insure the peace of the city. —Your obedient servant, FRANCIS COU IZTENAY. The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Exeter. Bradninch-place, Jan. 18, 1845. Dear Sir,—Some rumours have reached me, an. - 1 these have been retailed, as I. am told, by . the Western Times, that an attempt will be made to-morrow to create s dia. turbance not only at St. .Sid . w el I's, but at St. Paul's. As the minister of the latter parish, I write to inform, You of 'this threatened disturbance, that you may take such measures for the preservation of peace as You may think proper. I fear nothing in the morning, but in the afternoon and evening services I think some watchful-i. ness will be required, not only to-morrow, but for some Sundays following. - -Believe me. yours faithfully, .• JOHN ARMSTRONG. The Right'Wersiti . pful the Mayor of Exeter. Guildhall, Exeter, Jan. 21, 1845. My Lord,—On Saturday I received letters 'from the Rev. John Armstrong and the Rev. Franeis Courtenay, intimating that they expected there would be disturb ances io thwir several parishes on the following day, anti requesting me to take measures for the preservation of the peace. Accordingly, the whole or the day police, with a large additional force of constables, were on duty. After the morning service in St. Sidwell's, Mr. Courte nay was met at the churchyard ~.ate by a large mob of persons, and upwards of 600 followed him with occa sional hisses and groans till he had reached his residence on Southernhay. In the afternoon, notwithstanding pouring rain, more than 2,000 persons assembled in the same disorderly way, and with increased violence dese crated the Sabbath. The police behaved with the greatest temper and circumspection, and effectually protected Mr. Court;!nay from any personal injury, al though at one time, near the Old London Inn, the rush as so great as almost to overpower them. In the even ing, Dr. COleridge, who preached at St. Sidwell's in his surplice, was also assailed by a formidable mob on his quitting the church. Hitherto the police has been able to prevent personal violence, and every possible endeavour shall be used for the preservation of the peace ; but it is impossible to say what serious consequences may ensue upon a repetition of such unlawful proceedings. I felt it to he my duty, with the concurrence of the magistrates who have assisted me, to give your Lord ship this information ; and respectfully to inquire if your Lordship can recomment% any measures to prevent /he cause of such disorderly assemblies. —I have the honour to be, your Lordship's faithful and obedient servant, EDWARD WOOLMER, Mayor. The Bishop of Exeter. N.B. There was no disturbance in the parish of St. Paul. Tuesday Evening, Jan. 21, 1845. My Lord,—Since I had the honour of addreseing your Lordship this morning on the subject of the un happy disturbances in this city on Sunday last, I have received a requisition, signed. as you will perceive, by a most respectable and influential portion of the inhabi tants of Exeter—an authentic copy of which requisition I enclose for your Lordship's consideration. Having already detailed to your Lordship an account of the disturbed state of the eity on Sunday last, I have only to add my prayer to that of the requisitionists, that your Lordship will interfere to prevent a repetition of those disgraceful scenes.—l have the honour to be, your Lordship's faithful and obedient servant, EDWARD WOOLLIER, Mayor. Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Exeter. TO THE RIGHT WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF EXETER. We, thP undersigned citizens of Exeter, most deeply deplore the violation of the Sabbaths in our hitherto peaceful and well-conducted city yesterday and on the -Sunday previous ; and, whilst we deeply regret such a mode of manifesting public opinion, we should be guilty of conceallog our own feelings, and of a dereliction of ditty to you, were we not to express our decided con viction that a representation of the circumstances should be officially communicated by you to the Lord Bishop of the diocese, requesting his Lordship (who has the power) to restore peace and good order to our city on future Sabbaths. Dated January 20. 1845. (Signed by 151 Citizens of Exeter.) Rishepstowe Jan. 22, 1845. Mr. Mayor,—l have this day received the letter of the 21st instant, which, with the concurrence of the magis trates who have assisted you on occasion of the recent outrages in St. Sidwell's parish, you have done me the honour of addressing to me, " respectfully inquiring if I can recommen.l any measures to prevent the cause of such disorderly assemblies." Thus applied to by such authorities, I must not scruple to answer with the frankness which becomes me. You and the other magistrates have not informed me what you consider the cause to be. Thus left to my own conjectures on the subject, I must first endeavour to satisfy myself, on the very slight information which has reached me, what the cause of these violations of the peace has really been. The wearing of the surplice by Mr. Courtemay or Dr. Coleridge in preaching, is cer taitily not, of itself, the cause ; for the surplice was so worn in St. Sid well's Church, both by Mr. Courtenay and by his predecessor. fir several years, without excit ing any popular disturb:nice, or any intimation, to me at least, of any adverse feeling on the part of their parishioners. It was not till the very extraordinary agi tation which has recently been excited at Exeter, that the use of this vestment in the pulpit was visited with any mark of popular displeasure. It appears to me, therefor e , that it is this agitation which has been the true cause of the present disgraceful state of things at Exeter; and as this cause has already acted, I am unable to " recommend measures to prevent" it. It is, indeed, within the ability of every one to recoln= mend measures which may prevent the recurrence of so fruitful a cause of mischief, the principal of which is the very obvious one, of warning all, in every station, espe cially these whose station and influence may he expected to be greate.t, to beware how they venture to excite the place h as proved to be much more easily fanatical feelin gs o f a mo b , which the experience of every age and every excited than allaTed. I would not dwell unnecessarily on' matters too noto rious to need to be r ecounte d ; but justice to the mis guided populace on this occasion demands the admission, that their present excesses have been provoked by the unreasonable and culpable violence of marry of their su - periors, and by the scarcely less culpable indifference of many others. I have myself seer, mit only placards on the walls of Exeter ,proclaiming a " Great Protestant Meeting," but even the report of the proceedings of that meeting in one of the most respectable public journals of this or any other county, headed by the same danger ously exciting description. That a" No Popery" cry thus, wantonly raised should issue in the excesses which all decent persons must now deplore, cannot be matter of astonishment to any one who regards history as a re cord of the follies and crimes to which the rashness more frequently , than even the wickedness of man may conduce. While lam writing you, I have received your se cond letter, brought to me by an express messenger, containing a requisition to you signed by many (I doubt not) very respectable inhabitants of Exeter, who " ex press their decided conviction that a representation of the circumstances should be officially communicated by you to the Lord Bishop of the diocc se, requesting his Lordship (who has the power) to restore peace and good order to their city on future Sabbaths." Your own letter " adds 3 our prayer to that of the re quisitionists, that I will interfere to prevent a repetition of these disgraceful scenes." Both you and the requisitionists are pleased to ascribe to me a "power" whieb I must in all sincerity disclaim. I cannot undo Alt has been already done. I cannot recal that spirit of sobir piety, of respect for the laws of the Church and of tint State, of due regard to the con scientious feelings and indisputable rights of the clergy of Exeter, which it has been the indefatigable lab"ur of many of its iuiratutants,ilio tre above the vulgar, during several weeks to chase away. If the magistrates of your gmit city are now powerless —if the law is on each succeeding Lerd's-day violated with impunity—if the utmost boast of those who ad minister it be (as I understand your letter as manifestly implying) to guard an unoffending clergyman harmless through your streets, while no attempt is made to vindi cate justice by punishing a single individual of those by whom his life has been endangered—l cannot flatter myself' with the hope that I can do anything towards the restoration of peace, in the legitimate sense of the word—peace, that is, which is based on order, and insures the peaceable enjoyments of the rights of all men. I can, indeed, write _a letter to Mr. Courtenay, ad vising him not, again to preach in his surplice, unless he conscientiouslY; and on full inquiry, is satisfied that he may not do so, without violating his solemn engagements to the Chu rc h. But even this is a responsibility which I dare not take upon myself. For I much fear that thus to give a triumph to popular violence can only result in unnerving the law, and exposing. its administrators (whether deserving or not) to contempt. But, while I refuse to incur this responsibility myselr, I deem it right so far to comply with the urgent appli cation made to me, as to furnish you, Mr. Mayor, whose office makes you most responsible for the permanent peace and good order of Exeter, with a letter to Mr Courtenay, which you will, or will not communicate to him, as you shall think proper. I inclose it unsealed, in order that you may read it, and after reading, may either deliver or - withhold it. Let me add, that I have had no communication with Mr. Courtenay, either directly or indirectly, on this very extraordinary occurrence.—l have the honour to be, Mr. Mayor, with great respect, your most obedient servant, 11. EXETER. The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Exeter. Exeter, Saturday, Jan. 25, 1845. My Lord Bishop,—l am in reccipt of the letter of the 22d inst., which your Lordship did me the honour to address to me in reply to my letters to your Lordship of the 21st inst., detailing the serious disturbances which had taken place in the parish of St. Sidwell's, and pray ing for your Lordship's interference to prevent the cause of suck disorderly assemblies. I have also received an open letter, addressed to the Rev. Francis Courtenay which your Lordship inclosed in the one addressed to me, and which I delivered to that gentleman in con formity with your Lordship's permission. I sin in d, übt whether your Lordship intended your letter for publication ; and as Mr. Courtenay complied with the advice of his diocesan, and acceded to the re quest of the magistrates, and himself caused the publi cation of your Lordship's letter to him, I thought it better .to withhold the publication of your Lordship's letter to me until I had again heard from your Lordship. The full bench of magistrates met this afternoon, when I read to them your Lordship's letter to me. They de• sire me to request your Lordship's permission to publish your lettei, as they feel quite confident their conduct will meet the approval of their fellow-citizens.--I have the honour to be, your Lordship's faithful and obedient servant, EDWARD WOOLMER, Mayor. The Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Exeter. 13 ishopstowe, Jan. 27, 1845 Mr. Mayor,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th inst., which has this day reached me, " requesting my permission, at the de sire of the full bench of magistrates, to publish my letter to you of the 22d." That letter was written, hastily indeed—for your mes senger was waiting for it —but not inconsiderately ; for I found myself compelled to write in self-defence, and in order to repudiate that responsibility for " the resto ration of peace and good order to the city of Exeter," which your own letters of the 21st—then just received (the only ones, indeed, which I had received from you on the subject, though the first outrage at St. Sidwell's occurred on Sunday, the 12 th)—seemed by pretty plain implication, and which the accompanying requisition p ro f esse d in express terms, to cast upon me. A letter, written under such circumstances, I neither at the time of writing it wished you to regard as pri vate, nor do I now hesitate in permitting you to publish. Of course, the communication to which it was an an swer, as well as our present correspondence, will be pub lished with it, and no remarks appended, without my having an opportunity of making any observations upon them which shall seem to me necessary to be included in the publication. As relates to Mr. Courtenay's publication of my letter to him, I knew nothing of his intention till I saw the letter in the newspaper. But under his very peculiar circumstances, I do not blame him for the publication— especially as the letter itself does not cast blame on any one.--I have the honour to be, Mr. Mayor, your most obedient servant, 11. EXETER. The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Exeter. P.S. I am just informed, that a statement appeared ka some newspaper, that several gentlemen applied to me last week as I passed through Exeter, to use my autho rity with Mr. Courtenay to prevent his again preaching in the surplice. This statement is altogether false. (From the Times.) If the Bishop of Exeter lo ves no t or i e ty, he hae fully accomplished his desire, but n o t ve ry cre ditably nor consistently. To set a wh o l e di ocese in a flame, and while it is raging at its wor s t t o f a ll b a ck upon his dig nity, and plead ignorance of the cause of the mischief, and astonishment at the extent of it, may be all in cha racter with Dr. Phillpotts, but suits not the demeanour of a discreet, well-juding prelate. From the correspond ence between his Lordship and the Mayor of Exeter, which we print elsewhere, our readers will decide for themselves how far the Bishop deserves commendation or censure in the matter of the late tumults at Exeter. For ourselves, we think there is much that may be termed absurd, and something that carries a slight taint of insincerity in the Bishop's reply. Is it probable—is the notion to be entertained for one moment, that al though not officially informed of the disturbances, he could be entirely ignorant of them ten days after their occurrence ? He professes to say that the surplice in the pulpit is not the cause of the disorders, but the agitation about Protestantism and my Lord, if the wherever located, c th h e arn " ) i n N g o s ( P ,l ° i t P u P d r e Y a " detach you so far from all tidi n gs of this gross material f cr u y. ish o ß ps e t a o l ‘ l l y ,e„ world, and absorb your reflections so abstrusely in canonical studies,—it would be advisable for you some times to leave your remote retreat and ascertain what is really going on, and how far you can interfere, when need is, in affairs with which, in truth, you have some little connexion. It is out of the question to shift the blame of these disgraceful scenes from their proper quarter ; and the fact of a letter to the clergyman— strangely, indeed, enclosed to the Mayor—but allowing the discontinuance of the surplice in preaching, proves how well his Lordship knew where the root of the offence lay, and how it was to be removed. But, after all, the subterfuge about persons of a superior rank having in stigated the lower orders to disturbances will not avail to excuse these Courtenays and Coleridge; nor even him their superior, from the blame that must attach to the imprudence and rashness of the innovators, with all can• didjudges. The fault cannot be sulked off in dignified moroseness, nor sneered away at the expense of the Mayor and magistrates, who did on that occasion just what they ought to have done. We cannot appprove the spirit of the diffuse epistle of the Bishop, who, if he had written less, and less disingenuously and acrimoniously, might have far better satisfied the parties concerned as to his posi tion and power in this instance. If he will permit us to set him right, we will tell him why the surplice was, as he intimates, so long worn in the pulpit without any re monstrance or popular outbreak ; simply because the question of these novelties had not till then been sifted ; and borne as they were at first in silence, but impatiently, they could be no longer tolerated when it became uncer tain to what extent fresh innovators might be disposed to go. When, therefore, it was determined not to submit to them, they became a stirring cause of displeasure, and when in spite of the public feeling and opposition they were persisted in, they generated the riots of the 12th and 19ih inst. Now, unless his Lordship altogether for gets one great principle brought in at the R e f ormat i on - - - viz.,. the right of private judgment, he must concede to the laity the privileze of sometimes seeing with their own eyes, and jedgeg from their own convic tions. And until he, or some other supreme moderator, shall define the precise boundaries of this latitude, the laity will avail themselves of it (as they have done with reference to these unwise measures), respectfully, but firmly. You must allow, then; this indulgence, my Lord 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 Trade. Mr. Cardwell will, however, take office under the present Administration. CHRONICLE —lt 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, are assigned as the immediate cause ; but this is likely to have been complicated with others. Mr. Gladstone's position Mkt 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 tlabinet, Mr. Gladstone has certainly token his share of inconsistency enough to have taken off the first sensitiveness of canscience. We doubt whether conscience 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 of the Church, the uoctrines of which it was impossible for 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 i esponsibility for a policy which was everywhere running counter to his professions. At the same time it would be unfair to suppose that a step so contrary to Mr. Gladstone's interests can be dictated by any selfish feeling. 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 independent position. The grounds of his resignation naturally bring him into a momentary junction with the ultras of ;his party ; but hi s f ree t ra d e 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' Puse3 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 thei r measures d o i ng anyt hi ng b ut widen the difference which his resignation has evidenced to the world. His character has none of that pliancy which will enable him to retrieve hie 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 he 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 i f i l b o e u r s l yglisten..naatni resignation tTh is h e The as c a h hm a o n ei n g es in the Government are, on the whole, very favour a bl e t o our v i ews . M r . Glad stone'spa g e l e i e y t o i t s h the n s seecretsesd by i t yo f thea 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 seal?, he really might stay in for ever. We must not omit this occasion of expressing our approval of the choice of Sir Thomas Fremantle as Secretary for Ireland. While Sir Robes t 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 disappointed if Sir Thomas Fremantle should prove unworthy of our favourable auguries. The pro • bability, however, is, that there are more changes in store. Mr. Gladstone is not by any means the only member of the Cabinet whom an imroved policy towards office. Ireland ought to drive out of 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 abandonir g the cup of political degradation, with 2,000 L a year remain ing at the bottom. HEIZALD.—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, df 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 hitting the mark as others. But then comes the question, would our pub • lishing our guesses be 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 these 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 what are we to do all this ? In order to be considered a Treasury organ forsooth—a character which we have er 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, or 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 u nquestionably the fittest man in the empire to preside at that Board should Mr. Gladstone retire from it; itl4o in the Viee-rresideney of the Board. Lord Dal- housie is not as well known as he ought to be, and as he 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 sigour, and decision, than Sir Robert Peel? It is a fashion with those who seem to take pleasure in always inverting the truth, to reproach the Right Hon. 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 Governmeet, 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 emaire. The session of 1845 will, if we are no.. much mistaken, be a remarkable one —one never to be forgotten by the labouring classes— Non operariis tacenda geetibus. We may not, however, go farther in this direction. Lord Dalhousie is a man 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 Soya • reign and his fellow-subjt-cts, at the head of the Board of Trade. It ie....however, certainly not true that Mr. Cardwell bas 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, he 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 thanthe 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 but guesses. If they wish to be cheated with conjectures retailed as facts, they must go to another shop ; we do tot deal in the commodity. To 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. POST.—Our readers are aware that we anticipated some changes in the constitution of the Cabinet before the meeting of Parliament • but we confess that the re tirement of Mr. Gladstone ;rum all share in the Govern- ment has taken us somewhat by surprise. We are in dined 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 do 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 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 feisiness, 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 more 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 the 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 which he leads his Par liamentary forces, still his is not the master mind, nor his the iridomitable energy, which needs no assistance. He may indeed think with old Nestor— " It is not strength but art obtains the prize, 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 the 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 Howick, 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 will 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 ment ? 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 ? Is he fearful of facing the practical results of the Tariff and the Canada Corn Bill, and of going on in the same course P 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 vol. or when it was more able to encourage its friends and silence its opponenta in a policy worthy of the great party which place d _, ll „„!,_ office.

THE IMPROVEMENTS IN WESTMINSTEIL•-•-011 Thursday miming, about half-past eight o'clock, a dread.. ful accident took place in Orchard street, Westminster, a part in , endud for the new line of imp rovement. The corner house of Old Pye-street has for some time been shored up, and he resident lodgers gone away. The first intimation was by a man who lived in the cellar, ho finding his bed drop three feet, thought it prudent to move out of the place. The house is stated to belong to the Gni n Coat School, and Mr. Wardle, of Dart mouth str,et, collected the rents. At the time above named, M 1 s. Coldnick, who keeps a chandler's shop op• posite, states that tin first intimation she observed was a brick falling from the roc,f, and then another from the side wall. This was followed by the falling of the roof, and fortunately no person was passing. The ruins are lying across the two streets, and the next house is in a very dangerous state. In about ten minutes the children would have been going to the parochial school in Old Pye-street. Information was sent to the surveyor, and Mr. Barefoot and Mr. Taylor, the inspectors of the B division, directed the men in their force to keep the place free of passengers. Men were then engaged to protect the remaining walls. It need hardly be ob served that there has been culpable neglect in some quarter, as this occurrence might have caused the loss of many human lives.
