MEETING OF THE DERBVITES.

A meeting wu held on Saturday night at Mr.
Disraeli's, at which Lord Derby explained to his
political friends the course which it wu desirable to
pursue in Parliament in the present emergency-
Lord Derby (says the Morning Chronicle) wu un-
derstood to express his earnest desire that no factions
opposition should be raised against Lord Aberdeen.

THE NEW CABINET.

Lord Palmerston is expected to officially acquaint
the House of Commons this evening with the latest
political movements, even if he is unable to give the
names of the new ministers.

The Daily News says:—" After a week spent in
fruitless negotiations for the formation of a new Cabi-
net, the public will learn, not without surprise, that
a majority of the late Ministers are to resume their
functions. Lord Aberdeen is to be succeeded by
Lord Palmerston as first Lord of the Treasury : who
is to succeed Lord John Russell as President of the
Council we are not yet informed. By some it is sup-
posed that the Ex-Premier is not unwilling to take
the post thus vacated : all we know for certain is that
Lord John bu positively declined to re-enter the
Coalition."

Of the personal composition of the Administration
under Lord Palmerston nothing is at present known to
us (Times), but we earnestly hope that it will intro-
duce a yonioger and more efficient class of men to
office, and break the spell which has been so fatal to
the honour of our arms and the reputation of our
government.
The Morning Chronicle says:—" Viscount Palmer-
ston will be the First Lord of the Treasury, Mr.
Gladstone, Sir James Graham, and Mr. Sidney
Hesbert consenting to take office under him, as well
as the Earl of Clarendon and other older political
allies in the late Administration."

The Herald says that a Conservative government
cannot be postponed beyond a few weeks, and then
the Earl of Derby must become Premier. A corre-
spondent of the same journal, who is favoured with
large type, &c., says, " Unless we are misinformed,
her Majesty hqs reason to know that her confi-
dence in Lord Derby and his friends would not
have been, and will not be, misplaced; and that
the nob:e earl is perfectly prepared to obey any
summons which may be sent him, and construct a
Cabinet which shall proceed with the war in down-
right earnest, and infuse unwonted system and
vigour into all our departments. Lord Palmerston
is understood to have disclosed his willingness to
serve under the Earl of Derby, and we no no

rthly reason why is should not ; nor did he. till
had oossalted the alarmed Gemini, Sidney Her-
rt and Gladstone."

LORD LYNDHURST'S MOTION OF CENSURE
ON THE LATE GOVERNMENT.

The following resolution to be moves by Lord
Lyndhurst, stands on the paper of the Rouse of Lords
for this evening :

" That In the ;pinion of this house the expedition to the
Crimea was undertaken by her Majesty's government with
inadequate means, and without due caution or sufficient
inquiry into the nature and extent of the resistance to be
expected from the enemy ; and that the neglect and mis-
management of the government in the conduct of the war
►as led to the most disa,trous results."
