On Saturday the inauguration of the fievz min-
istry took place. k the morning her Majesty the
Queen held a Court and Pris;3' Counsel at Windsor
Castle, for the for:merly receiving from
Lord Derby's Administration the seals of Offi

transferring them to the new government, 'whieb
has been. formed under Lord PalmersiOn. Her
Majesty gave audience to the Earl of Dei.hi,
and his
late eolleaves. The Lord Chancellor, cave up the
great_ seal, th secretaries their seals, and other offi-
cials their --sva. . .

The new ministers were aft.;
wards admitted to an audience, received the seals of
office, and kissed hands on their appointments. The
following are the_ehief members of the Cabinet :
Premier,. Lord Pahnerston .; Lord Chancellor, Lord
Campbell ; President of the Council, Earl Gran-
ville : Privy Seal, Duke a-Argyle r Sir G. C. Lewis,
Home Secretary; Lord John Russell; Foreign Secre-
tary ; Duke of Newcastle, Colonial Secretary ;. the
Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, Secretary of War ;
and Sir- C',' Wood goes to th,e India Board„ The .1
Duke of Somerset is to be First Lord of the Admi- ,
ralty ; Mr, Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer ;

Mr. Cobden, President of the Board of Trade ; Mr

Gibson, President of the poor Law Board ; Sir
George Grey, Chancellor of the of Lancaster ;
Right Hon. E. Cardwell, Chief 'Secretary for Ireland ;
Sir R. Bethel is to be Attorney General ; and Sir 11,
Keating, Solicitor General. The Evening Herald,
in noticing the ' above appointments, says :—" Lord
Palmerston has accomplished his task. It will be

iihere is evidently just enough ability:in .-the
ministry to ensure strong individual opinions, and no
community _of ,iirinciPles to prevent each member
riding off on his own 'hobby, to the extreme disgust
of his colleagues. At any sate, it must be a strong
miuistry ;which can keep afloat with the dead weight
of Sir Charles Wood dragging-it • down. Surely, if

In close connection with the above subject, we
may mention that'the 'Weekly itegister, the Organ of
the Catholic body, affirms that the twenty-two
Catholienl!.'s.wha voted against the Derby GM-em-
inent' have the approval of every Irish Roman Catholic
bishop, including- the-,Bishop of Meathi: the:district
in which the greatest modicum of clerical support

(Dr. CUllen), who, having just returned from
Rome, may be supposed to be best acquainted with
theinterests of the church.

The ne-s,vs from the seat of War, though not
adding much to our previous knowledge of the
movements of the combatants, is of an interesting
character. In-the Paris Moniteur we find, that the
Freneh loss at Magenta is set down at 323 killed,
2,165 wounded, and 470 missing. If this be true, the
battle must have been a very sorry affair, compared
with the flowing accounts which we have previously
