L,)XDO2V. SATURDAr. DECEMBER 18.

Tne first result of the Ministerial defeat was a
Cabinet Council held yesterday, in Downing-street, at
noon, when the Earl of DERBY found himself sur-
rounded by his discomfited allies. The great author
of the Budget, Mr. Dleater.t —those wealthy terri-
torial elements of his Cabinet, Lords LOMBDALE,
BALisni tor, and Ilmtowiekt —the mild Mr. WAL-
ew.v., of militia suffrage memory—Lord MALMO-
BLRY, the Bonapartist—LoORTUUMBIRLARD,
of the Admiralty—Sir Jour PAKINOTON, hero of
Quarter Sessions and interceptor of the Cape
Constitution—Lord J. MANNERS, the
_poet of the
Woods and Forests,--and the ancients Humes and
HENLEY. The Court Circular announces that " they
sat an hour," each doubtless teeth., like a ministerial
MARIUS musing amidst the ruins of their Budget. Two
hours afterwards, Lord DERBY was booking his
gr:irre the South Western Railway, en route for
, then to lay before her Majesty the
Quzax a statement of his present plight. What
might be his reflections in the train as it
whirled him along towards that Royal Mistrae,
whose trust in him it had become needful to resign,
we will not attempt to say. One thing, however, is
attain, and may fairly be said that if, when
be undertook the guidance of the State, some months
ego, he had begun his task in a spirit of wise anae-
mia to the just demands and true needs of this our
growing progressive generation, he would scarcely
have had to hurry, yesterday—en ejected and dis•
credited man—to contemn to his Scireamon the utter
defeat of that policy he had vaunted with so much
loud flourish and confident prediction. In something
like the words of WOLSET he might mutter on his
journey—" If I had served my country with half
the seal I have shown the landlords, I should not
now have been deserted in the hour of need." At
the time when such gloomy reflections clouded the
flight of Earl DERBY to Osborne, the funds showed
the cheerful feeling of the public on his defeat by a
rise—unusual of late—of one-half per cent. So much
for the downfall of the Derbyites.
The speculations mentioned in our aolumns.yester-
day are, of course, very rife. The admirers of
Toryism still evidently chef to the hope that when
her Ifsitorr this day sends a mewge to another
Councillor to aid her with advice on the reconstruc-
tion of a Cabinet, that message may be sent to the
Earl of Asmosz.v, or to the Marquis of LANSDOWNS,
rather than to Lord Jona &Teem. They still
dream of new combinations of the old Tory elements,
mad foresee a new DIARYITS Ministry Agin,
Phomix•like, from the ruins of the late defeat. Sul-
Meow is emphatic, and Cnaterontot hopeful ;

an enumeration of the more revehat 111111111111111
which have bees, during the last w hours, in circu-
lation in various quartiors.
Amid the despair of the itimonlitsil Tories, there
still lingers a vague hope that the ems mereltal in-
terposition that saved tbs. hos drowsing three
weeks ago, may now Do hood obis and willing to
restore them to life. Lord Polosmotoo, it is said,
though disapproving of the babbia-bodist, refused
to make any effort to reseed Mamie ogling it. The
noble Viscount is not the trim who would spare him-
self or anybody else a twinge, when be has made up
his mind to say anything that he thinks it very de-
sirable to say, or to do anything that he thinks it
advisable to do. From which the weskit Oulton
sagaciously infers that Lord PahateM was not very
sorry to be absent from Thursday night's division.
They dwell, moreover, with curious earnest-
nem on the fact, that his son-in-law, Lord
Jocelyn, voted for the House Tax, while
his colleague in the representation of Tiverton, Sir
Gilbert Heathcote, as well as his son, abstained from
supporting the liberal opposition. Finally, the un-
happy victims of Mr. Disraeli's incapacity for
finance, repeat with mysterious emphasis the free
and may expression with which that great master of
language, Lord Mahnesbury, thought proper to move
the adjournment of the Upper House last evening—
viz., that " Lord Derby had gone to see the Queen
at Osborne"—a most unuanal phrase, it must be
owned, fur a Secretary of State to make use of on
any public occuion, and, especially infelicitous when
uttered with reference to a crisis like the present ;
but which we rather incline to treat as another
proof how lamentably the education of the illiterate
earl must have beat neglected in his youth. But
mikes Lord Pahmersten were to emulate
the hiss of Quietus Curtail and offer to
jump into the tmeginire of lierbyism, it does
not appear very clear how it is possible for his
lordship to avert the late that now impends over the
defeated Ministers and their adherents. And how
even such a feat of self-devotion would help them
seems equally unintelligible.
Meanwhile the Whig and Peelite coteries are Wily
in building cabinets of cards, and filling up with
amusing particularity every post, however subordi-
nate, in the public offices or the Royal household.
The respective admirers of Lord Lansdowne and
Lord Aberdeen dwell with complacency on the cer-
tainty, as they suppose, of their favourite statesman
useming his post at the head of affairs. Many
lists are handed about for the appeasement of impa-
tient curiosity, but one of the most plausible and
probable that we have yet seen disposes of the prin-
cipal offices of state as follows :
First Lord of the Tres-

sury
Foreign Affairs
Horne Mos and Leader
of the Commons
Colonies
Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer
Admiralty
Secretary-at-War . Mr. Osborne
Lord-Lieutenant of Ire-
land .. .... . Duke of Newcastle
&c. 8o &c.

It seems to be generally understood that Lord
Grey and his immediate mends would not be in-
eluded in this combination • neither would the
leaders of the Manchester section of the radical
party. We most repeat that these are mere ru-
mours, to be taken only for what they may be
worth.
