RUMOURED

CHANGES.

(Fres • Comspeedeat ad the LAWN New.)
Yesterday evening the rumour was very general
that Lord John Russell had decided upon the
changes to be made in his ministry. In cases of this
kind, it is, of course, impossible for anything short of
a ministerial manifesto to convey the exact and au-
thentic particulars of the contemplated alterations.
In such times as these, however, the public look
naturally to the newspapers for such indica-
tions as may bo in existence, tending to
show what may be expected. To meet this
natural anxiety we give the latest on die; with
the full and complete preliminary explanation that
only as the meet prevalent rumour can the following
be received. With this preface, it may be stated
that Sir James Graham had yesterday an interview
with Lord John Russell, and it is very generally un-
derstood
that the negotiations in progress have for
their object the formation of a Conservative-Whig
cabinet—a negotiation which, if successful, would
in all probability involve an early dissolution of par-
liament.
It is proposed that
Lord Lansdowne,
Lord Broughton,
Mr. Labouchere, and
Sir F. Baring should resign;
To be replaced by •
Sir James Graham, as First Lord of the Admiralty $
the Duke of Newcastle, as President of the Board
of Control ;
Sidney Herbert, as Paymaster of the Forces, with
a seat in the Cabinet; and
Mr. Gladstone. as President of the Board of 'trade.
Who would succeed Lord Lansdowne is not stated.
Whether all this is entitled to be regarded as any-
thing more than club talk, the lapse of a short time
will in all probability determine.
