MAKING OF CABINETS.

HER Majesty has once more been called upon
to name a statesman to whom can be en-
trusted the guidance of the destinies of her
empire. Peel and Melbourne, who k•cl.
_their
respective parties at the time of the Queues
accession, Russell and Derby, who came to
the front later in the present reign, Palmer-
ston and Aberdeen, b,;th of whom had been
Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, have
•all gone over to the majority standing upon
the shores of the silent laud which is washed
by the waves of the sea of eternity. And
now, most prominent in the ranks of the op-
posing parties are two men who have passed
the allotted span of life os described in the
words of the Psalmist—Lord Beaconsfield
being in his seventy-fifth year, and Mr.
Gladstone in his seventy-first. Judging from
the work which, for years past, each has
been enabled to get through, it cannot be
said of either veteran. statesman that his
strength is labour and sorrow. And whenl
it is remembered that at the age of 75 Lord
Palmerston took the Premiership a second
time, and Lord Russell did the sameia.t 73,
it is clear that England's statesmen of mod-
ern days, notwithstanding their work and
worry, do not fall into the sere and yellow
leaf at an age when many a man, in the even-
tide of life, feels that now be jias nothing to
do but to await that eternal rest which is
promised as the reward of the weary when
they lay down the toils of time,
The Queen herself koking back over a reign
oi forty-three years, has called twelve Minis-
tries to her councils, and has summoned and
dissolved nine Parliaments. Yet her Aitajesty
is even now 9,0 years younger than her grand-
father, George 111., at the the time of his
death, so that that the calling of farther
Cabinets and Parliaments is in all probability
before her. In the prolonged period during
which Queen Victoria has ruled over* this
, realm, there can be no doubt that she haa
been faithful to her coronation oath, and
pgoverned in accordance with the constitution
of the kindom. .The prerogatives and func-
tions of the Crown are of various kinds.
The Sovereign Can give or refuse to bills the
Royal Assent; he or she is bound to cause
the due administration and execution of the
Liv s ;to act on behalflof the whole community
in its intercourse with foreign- States ; to
declare war and te conclude peace ; to direct
tee naval and military force of the country;
to administer the public revenues ; to pro-
rogue or dissolve Parliament ; to create peprs;
and to coin money. The monarch is the su-
preme head of the church, the source of
yistice and of mercy, of all offices, honours,
emoluments, and chartered rights. But
necessarily, in. every case, the Sovereignacts
by Ministers who are amenable to Parliament;
and the choice of these Ministers is the only
prerogative which can be con'stitutioiaally
exercised without responsible advisers. It
is therefore within the power of the Queen,
upon the resignation of one Minister, to send
for whom she pleases, and to entrust to Cho
statesman of her own choice the formation
of a new Government. The outgoing
Minister can offer any advice or suggestion
he cares to offer, but the Sovereign is not
bound to follow it. Of course the Minister
to whom is entrusted the Sovereign's com-
mission to form an administration could not
execute it without possessing a Parliament-
ary majority ; but given this, as to her free-
dom of choice teere is no qnesticn.
• The Cabinet is composed of the • principal
members of the Administration, but it does
not include more than a fourth part of those
whom a change of government instals in
office. The Prime Minister selects his col-
liag,nes, and submits them to the Crown for
approval. There are certain offices, such
as those of the Lord Chancellor, the Lord
President of the Council, the Itord Privy
Seal, the Chancellor of the ExcheqUer, and
the Secretaries .of State, the holders of
which must necessarily be Cabinet Ministers;
bat with these exceiTtions the choice of
Cabinet Ministers rests solely with the First
Lord of the Treasury. A wide discretion
therefore lies before him. Daring a period
of Mr. Gladstone's Governpient, in 1870 y
the Cabinet numbered sixteen members,
while Lord Beaconsfieldiaeaan with .twelve
six years ago, afterwards increasing the
Cabinet to thirteen. The seleciions usually
falls upon those in the administration whose,
:auk, talents, reputation, -and political weight
render them the most useful auxiliaries, or
whose services while in opposition may have
created the strongest. oln•-n - th honours
.of the secrsecretcouncil. ' is remarkable that,
