The GLADSTONE Cabinet is now nearly completed. Ten of the greatest offices of State: in the Adminis tration have been already filled up, and, supposing the aggregate number of Cabinet Ministers to be identical with that of the out-going Administration, namely, Sixteen, only half-a-dozen additional admi nistrators remain to be added to that supreme inner circle of the Government. As it is, even now, the ten Ministers who have been en rolled comprise among their number six of the greatest names that the country could have hoped to see included within the list of the new Liberal Go vernment. Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. BRIGHT, and Mr. LOWE, the Duke of ARGYLL, Earl GRANVILLE, and the Earl of CLARENDON. Besides the First Lord of the Treasury and the Lord High Chancellor, four of the Secretaries of State are already named, as well as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the First Lord of the Admiralty the President of the board of Trade, and the Secretary for Ireland. Lord CLARENDON succeeds Lord STANLEY at the Foreign-office. The Duke of ARGYLL undertakes the direction of the Government of India in succession to Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE. The Secretaryship of War is allotted to Mr. CARDWELL on its passing out of the hands of Sir JOHN PAKINGTON. The Colonies are entrusted to Lord GRANVILLE as the Whig suc cessor of the Tory Duke of BUCKINGHAM. At the Admiralty, Mr. CHILDERS occupies the place vacated by Mr. CORRY. In the person of Mr. LOWE, a man of immense capacity succeeds Mr. HUNT, a man of very moderate abilities, in the responsible post of Chancellor of the Exchequer. As Secretary for Ireland, Colonel WILSON PATTEN is followed by the former occupant of that position under the RUSSELL Government—Mr. CHICHESTER Fo RTESCUE. In suc cession to the Duke of IticumoNo ai President of the Board of Trade, Mr. BRIGar, the great Tribune of the people, consents at last to kiss hands on his being sworn in (?) as a Privy Councillor, and formally inducted for the first time to office as a Cabinet Minister. The weakest ap pointment of all is that of Sir WILLIAM PAGE WOOD to the Chancellorship—an instance in which the world sees a sound equity lawyer and a lucil but otherwise commonplace speaker, succeeding a man of genius and a brilliant orator like Lord CAlRNS—whose match, as we have already more than once insisted, might so very readily have been found in the person of the gifted and popular Lord Chief Justice of Eng land. For some incomprehensible reason, however, Mr. GLADSTONE has prefered the promotion to the Woolsack of a comparative mediocrity in the person of the Lord Justice of Appeal—not merely passing over Sir ALEXANDER COCKBURN as a man of splendid parts and one in many ways rarely qualified for the supreme post of Lord High Chancellor, but coupling the selection of Sir WILLIAM PAGE WOOD with thethe off _x of a simple peerage to the Lord Chief Justice, an offer very naturally and most judiciously declined by the latter personage. The strength of the new Cabinet lies, beyond all auestion,in the half-dozen names already particularized. And for, intellectual capacity, three greater names could not possibly have been selected, from among the Liberals, than the names (among that select half dozen) of the three Commoners. The three peers, on the other hand, are men of high attainments, of con siderable administrative aptitude, and of large official experience. And with those six most conspicuous leaders of the Liberal party —with Mr. GLADSTONE, Lord GRANVILLE,Mr.BRIGHT, the D uke of ARGYLL, Mr. LOWE, a❑d Lord CLA RENDON--there are already known to be associated in the Ministry, so far as it has yet been arranged, a Peelite as able as Mr. CARDWELL, an other advanced Liberal (like Mr. LowE) of Australian antecedents, such as Mr. CHILDERS, and about as popular an Irish Secretary as the new Premier could possibly have selected—one, moreover, who has already in that position won " golden opinions from all sorts of men"—Mr. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE. As for the rest of the Cabinet appointments, it is understood that they will be distributed among such claimants for office as Mr. GOSCHEN, Mr. VILLIERS, Mr. BRUCE, possibly Lord DE GREY and very probably Lord KIMBERLEY. The last named indeed bas been spoken of as pos sibly President of the Council. The Privy Seal, it is believed, was offered to and refused by Earl RUSSELL. In the direction of the Poor-Law Board, it is pro bable that Mr. GOSCHEN will succeed the Earl of DEVON. Rumour names Mr. VILLIERS as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster iu substitucion for Lord HENRY LENNOX, and asserts most confidently that Mr. GATHORNE HARDY will be followed as Home Secretary by Mr. 11. A. BRUCE, in spite of the latter having as yet failed to find a seat in the new Parlia ment. To Mr. LAYARD, by some, is alloted the post of Chief Commissioner of Parks and Palaces, but with out a seat in the Cabinet—in this, unlike the arrange ment in the outgoing Administration, in which Lord JOHN MANNERS occupied the double position of Cabinet Minister and Chief Commissioner. Substi tuted for that office within the Cabinet, it is said, will be the Postmaster-Generalship--the Earl DE GREY and RIPON, succeeding as Cabinet Minister the Duke of MONTROSE, who bad no seat in the Cabinet. Before many hours more shall have elapsed we doubt not but that the full list of the Ministry will have been completed. Enough, however, is already known to assure us that it will be a strong Government, a wonderfully strong Government. If only—they can hold together ! SEVERAL of the New York journals are informed that the American Government approves of Mr. PLF.vEnnY JOHNSON'S conduct during the negotia tions for the settlement of the Alabama's claims. This intelligence is doubly welcome. It is in some degree a contradiction of the very prevalent state ment that the American Ambassador was to be recalled, and it may be accepted as a partial response to some sinister reports which have been circulated on the subject of the Alabama question itself. It has been asserted that Mr. JOHNSON'S settlement was in danger, and the Memorial Diplo matique—a paper which improves upon everything, rind which has justly earned the distinction of being the most mendacious journal in Europe—is confident that the whole affair has fallen through. The danger has just assumed a more serious form. Mr. SEWARD has submitted to the British Govern- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENINd, DECEMBER 7, IF6B. ment a proposal that the question which was to have been laid before the King of RuussrA should be referred, together with the details of damages, to the Anglo-American Commission of four. By the terms of the first arrangement, the pre liminary question of whether England is liable for the escape and the depredations of the Alabama, was to be decided by the arbitration of the King of PRUSSIA. The commission, formed of two representatives of each nation, was to hear and assess all cases of individual damage, provided, of course, that the arbitrator found in favour of America. Mr. SEWARD now proposes that the entire difficulty should be disposed of by the commission. The King of Paussia is to be dispensed with. This is indeed grave intelligence, and may possibly have a prejudicial effect upon the settlement of the dispute. It entirely alters the aspect of the question, by returning to the old ground of quarrel, and reviving the difficulties which formerly prevented an arrangement. The British Government has shewn its readiness to make every reasonable concession; it has consented to transfer the commission from London to Washington; but it is hardly to be expected that it will agree to a proposition which would really grant the Americans almost all that Lord STANLEY formerly felt bound to refuse them. We might refer a question of money, but we cannot refer a great question of principle to the decision of four lawyers, who would be chosen as interested parties to defend the claims of their respective countries. If an arbitrator be chosen at all, a difference between two great nations ought to be settled only by one of their own rank, not by four indi viduals who, however competent, would in no respect represent the importance of the dispute. Besides, the fundamental idea of arbitra tion must be ignored by a reference to a commis sion chosen from the nations who are the chief parties to the quarrel. If the King of PRUSSIA decided the question of liability, it would really be referred to a commission of his lawyers, but such a tribunal would be authoritative, as representing a great State, and it would be impartial, being composed entirely of third parties. If Mr. SEwARD's demand were conceded, the four would beyond doubt come to a dead-lock, and a referee must be called in. This fifth arbitrator, who would virtually dispose of the whole matter, could be neither an Englishman nor an American, so that in the end the problem would be solved by the means proposed in the original settlement, after its chief advantages had been sacri ficed. It is clear that a decision by any other than a third. party is practically impossible. The dispute long ago passed beyond the scope of mutual agree ment. It would appear from this proposition that the extent of Mr. JOHNSON'S authority had been some what over-estimated. It was understood that the Senate, in its ratification of the settlement, would accept the terms agreed upon by its Ambassador, who was in this respect a plenipotentiary. It seems, however, that Mr. SEWARD has retained the power of revising Mr. JOHNSON'S decision. Hence the present difficulty. There is, how ever, much reason to hope that it will not remain insuperable to diplomatic skill. Mr. REVERDY JOIINSON would hardly have been permitted to proceed so far unless the tenour of his negotiations were known to the Government. It is not likely that Mr. SEWARD would first ask to change the place at which the commission is to sit, and then make another demand which is altogether to alter its functions, and which is yet to be final and inflexible. Still less is it probable that the American Government, as we are confidently informed, " approves" of Mr. JOHNSON'S policy, and yet disapproves of its most important result. It is to be hoped that Mr. SEWARD will finally perceive that a demand to try our culpability by a commission sitting at Washington, and half composed of Ameri cans, is really begging the whole question at issue. It is hard to believe that a demand made at the last moment, totally upsetting the former arrangement, and on the eve of_a change of Ministry, will be per severed in. LATEST INTELL MENGE.

It is expected that a decree of the - Provisional Government will shortly be published ordering the elections of the Constitutional Cortes to take place on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of January next. A circular of Senor Rivers, the Mayor of Madrid, orders the daily wages of the working men em ployed by the municipality to be reduced one real. This alteration is to commence to-morrow. It is also therein stated that working men who are not domiciled citizens of Madrid shall henceforth be excluded from such employment. AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 7.

This declaration was received with much enthusiasm. The bill limiting the powers of military courts was adopted, after a warm debate, in accordance with the liberal amendments of Herr Deak. The draft of the budget for 1869 has also been agreed to after a warm debate. UERMANNSTADT, Dec. G.

IMMENSE DESTUCTIOIV OF PROP= Y AND LOSS OF LIFE. --0 , - - The inhabitants of the great metropolis and suburban districts will not easily forget the ravages by a storm of wind and rain, which lasted nearly the whole of Sunday, and up to an advanced hour this (Monday) morning. Just at this season of the year, when the sap is well down in the trees of the various royal and ornamental parks in London, they speedily fell a prey to the power of the blasts of wind, and immense limbs of timber were blown from trees that had been standing for per haps a century. Young saplings were also broken off at the roots, the ornamental flower beds in the parks and gentlemen's gardens were rent asunder, and the gardens were rendered a foot or two deep in water, caused by the heavy rain which fell without the least inter mission for hours. The streets in the City, not withstanding the improved system of drainage, were occasionally ankle deep in water, the drains being found impossible to discharge into the main sewers such a vast accumulation of water. The damage done along the river and water-side premises has been greater than has been known for many years from a similar visitation. In Upper Ground-street, Blackfriars-road, stand the great wharf belonging to Messrs. Buxton, the timber merchants, the whole of this immense space, from the Thames to the front street, was literally studded with piles of deals and other sorts of timber, some towering 50 or 60 feet high. Between 2 and 3 this morning the inhabitantsw ere aroused from their slum bers by hearing a noise resembling some convulsion of nature. The affrighted persons, upon looking out of their bed-room windows, witnessed a scene that has not occurred before. In the first place, a stack of deals, at the least 40 feet high, bad been blown clean down at the edge of the river, and immense planks from other stacks were flying about in the air and dropping to the ground, making a noise as each reached the ground like the discharge of a piece of ordnance. The only person at the time on the wharf was the night watchman, and he, by passing round sundry piles of timber, managed to get away in safety. About the same time the wind caught the first floor of the premises of Mr. Meymotly on the cres cent, and after driving in the upper part of the win dow, demolished the glass in some of the lower windows. The excitement caused by this occur rence had barely subsided, when a fearful noise was heard in the immediate vicinity, and from in quiries subsequently made it seems miraculous that several persons had not been crushed to death. Between Upper Ground-street and Stamford-street, stands the Railway Tavern, the property of Mr. Hart. Whilst the inmates were fast asleep in bed, the wind struck a tall chimney at the back of the house, the whole stack fell upon the roof, and the bricks and rubbish fell through upon Mr Hart's bed, but strange to say he received no injury, nor yet any of the inmates. The back part of the pre mises present a perfect wreck. THE LATE SEVERE GALES. PORTMADOC, NORTH WALes, Dec. 5. The ship Castilian, of London, 106 tons, laden with timber, from Quebec to Liverpool, came ashore on the south side of Portinadoc bar last night about 12 o'clock (reports D. Homfray, Esq.) There was a heavy sea running, and it was blowing hard from the south west at the time. Directly she was seen this morning Captain D. Richards got the lifeboat John Millbury, of the National Lifeboat Insti tution, launched, and he gave orders for the tug to run down to Crierieth to tow her up, as the wind had shifted more to the southward. "[here was a great deal of surf alongside, but with great care they managed to get eighteen people safely on board the steamer, which landed them at Portmadoe at noon. Three poor fellows Mere drowned while attempting to get ashore in the night in their own boat. A sea struck the boat directly they got in her with such force that the rope dragged the stern clean out of her, and though life-buoys were thrown to the men they sank. The lifeboat behaved admirably. She was very stiff under her cargo of eighteen besides the crew, and she has been housed in as good order as when she was launches]. The son of the owner was among those saved. This valuable lifeboat was recently presented to the Lifeboat Society by James Ashbury, Esq., the owner of the celebrated yacht Cambria, the boat being name.' at his request after his late father. CAMPBELTON, N. 8., Dee. 4. Robert Hicks, Esq . ., the collector of customs, reports that during a strong gale from S.S E. and in very thick weather, yesterday, the steamer Fly ing Mist brought intelligence from Carraidale, 13 miles N.E. of Campbelton, that the bark William Dillies was lyingoff that sh ore d ragg i ng h er anchors,and likely to go on th e roc k s , th a t th e crew could not land in the heavy sea then running, and that they were in danger of losing their lives. The lifeboat Lord Murray, belonging to the Na tional Lifeboat Institution, immediately proceeded to the spot in tow of the tug, and arrived there about one o'clock. The crew of fifteen men were at once rescued from the ship, and put aboard the tug, which then returned with the lifeboat in tow and landed all hands safely in Campbelton by four p.m. The vessel was bound from London to Ardrossan in ballast. She was in a very dangerous position on a lee shore. The behaviour of the lifeboat is reported to have given the greatest satisfaction to every one. PENZANCE, Monday Morning. Mr. Downing again reports that the barque North Devon is ashore on the Long Rock, and that seven of her crew have unhappily been drowned in at tempting to reach the land in their own boat. The lifeboat Richard Lewis, which had gone off to the aid of the craw, was upset after a terrible struggle. Carbis, the brave coxswain being disabled, and one man being washed ashore, having happily been kept afloat by his cork life-belt. Both these men are still very ill. The lifeboat was fortunately suc cessful on the second attempt, and rescued the eight men, but in doing so one of the lifeboat men had his ribs broken. The ship is smashed to atoms. This will give you an idea of the terrible character of this great lifeboat work. The debt on the Stockwell Orphanage has been cleared off. Mr. Spurgeon announced en Thursday evening that within the last fortnight £1,500 was duo upon it ; but that during the past week ho had received £5OO from three individual 4, and that on reaching home on Wednesday evening he had found awaiting him an envelope, containing two :x5OO notos from a friend who, ho believes, has sent before, but never gives his name. All that now remains to be done is to provide for the maintenance of the children, and this, Mr. Spurgeon calculates, will take from .£5,000 to £6,000 a year, which must be raised by voluntary subscription.— South London Press. CAMBRIDGE BOROUGH ELECTION PETITION.— During the past few days Mr. F. S. Powell, the senior ex member (Conservative) of the borough, has been actively engaged in collecting evidence for a petition against the return of Messrs. R. E. Torrons and W. Fowler (Liberals), and it is asserted that the result is that a petition is being prepared on the ground of treating. CAM IMPROVEMENT.—The subscription list for this purpose has already assumed such proportions as to justify the committee in putting out the contract for deepening and widening the river from Jesus Sluice to Baitsbite, for £4,000. Tho Cam Conservators have under taken to cleanse the upper part of the river, and the Cam bridge Improvement Commissioners are completing arrangements for diverting the sewage of the town from the river at a cost of from £7,000 to £3,000. THE NEW PREMIER AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.— A preliminary meeting of inflaential electors from the three towns comprising the Borough of Greenwich, has be held to consider the best means of receiving Mr W. E. Gladstone on his first visit to the borough previous to his re-election. After some conversation it was considered that there was no public building available which would be sufficiently large to accommodate the audience that might be expected to attend, and it was therefore resolved to ask Messrs. John Penn and Suns for the use of their large factory, which will hold many thousands of persons, and there is no doubt that this request will be acceded to. The Conservatives have started a rumour that Mr. Glad stone's re-election will be opposed, but his return by an immense majority over any competitor who might appear to oppose him is perfectly certain. i)'NVILLE and Co., Belfast, ,are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRA- 6 FOR WEST MINSTER. It has already been announced that a site Iv° been purchased for the erection of a Roman Catholic metropolitan cathedral near Victoria-street, an d Archbishop Manning has just issued an appeal 00 its behalf in the shape of a pastoral letter to the clergy and laity of his diocese. He states that th e project was one earnestly cherished by his Pr e : decessor, Cardinal Wiseman, that some of his intv mate friends proposed it shortly after his death as 211 appropriate mem or i a l t o hi s memory, an d th a t 1315 own first public act was to preside at a meeting in furtherance of it, though he felt himse lf bound to give preced ence t o education and th e other spiritual needs of the diocese. In the cours e of last year he purchased a plot of ground in Ca r ' lisle-place, Victo r i a - s t ree t, for £16,500, it being . apparently the only sput w hi c h c ou ld b e obtained for a reasonable sum ; but a more spacious site' immediately facing it, for which £35,000 had bee n originally asked, was afterwards offered to him O r £20,000, the two pieces of land containing nearly three acres, and possessing an independent frontage on almost every side. A private circular which h e issued in July last met with so generous a respos . e that he purchased the seco n d s ite a l so , th e conch" tion being that the purchase-money should be provided by twelve yearly instalments. Fifteen thousand pounds has been already paid on accoun t £5,000 of that sum being a bequest to the Arc h ' bishop ; the donations and subscriptions will 1 4: the end of 1874 reach £14,000, and a deficit of £7,500 remains, for w hi c h f ur th er a id i s solicite d , in order to clea r o ff th e w h o l e cost o f t h e g roan:: The foundation-sto ne w ill b e l a id w h en a su m sub t.O cient to insure the u n i n t erru pt e d progre ss of tc i work has been accu mu l a t e d, an d th e b u ilding / 11 . h have such proportion s o f sca l e , grandeur, an d utt.. lity as befit " the maturity of the Catholic Chut e : in England, the advanced civilization of our times' and the dignity o f th e see o f t h e metropo li s of the British empire." In consideration of the deop°l tional feeling of his flock the style will be Engh: and grandeur, stateliness, solidity, spaciousne' t ' e and majestic ele va ti on b e i ng pre f erre d t o raM il os , and elaborate orna men t, espec i a ll y i n the atm phere of Loudon, th e ear li er per i o d o f that sty le will be adopted. M r .
