SOUND AND WHITE TEETH

Another shuffle of the cards—another specimen of
the sincerity of the Palmerston'an pledge that Adminis-
trative Reform should be proceeded with ! .. The right
man is taken out of the right place, and put in the wrong
one—a circular body for a triangular hole ; while the
man who would have been the right one, where a new
one of some sort, and a very peculiar sort too, was
wanted; is placed nowhere—a proceeding which maybe
described by the Irish figure of filling vacancy with
emptiness. One, we believe almost the only one of the
Mirehterial appointmettre during_ the present Whig or
preceding Coalition Cabinets which has given least-dfss
satisfaction, is that of Lord Canning as Postmaster-
General. Ile is just the sort of man for the place, as-
suming that the occupant of that place must be a peer,
as routine has so long had it so, though we not only
do not admit the necessity, but entirely dissent from
it, and maintain that a peer has no business there, or at
least that it is the business of the public to take care that
another shall not succeed him. Some of our readers may
remember that the noble lord represented the county of
Warwick for a short time in Parliament in 1836.7, in
which latter year he succeeded to the peerage in right of
his mother, upon whom the viscountcy had been confer-
red from respect to the memory of her celebrated hus-
band, who died during his too brief Premiership. He
then gave evidence of very respectable talent, which was
tolerably well sustained during his subsequent discharge
of the duties of Under-Secretary at the Foreign•office,
where he was known much as the present Under-Secre-
tary, Lord Wodehouse, is now known, that is, not known
at all, as far as the public are concerned, but reputed to
be pains-taking, assiduous, and intelligent in his way,
which way was the way of those who had gone before
him—in fact, a kind of double of the present Mr. F. Peel
in all things. During the last few fluttering months of
the Peel ministry, in 1846, he was Chief Commissioner
of Woods and Forests, the office now filled by Sir W.
Molesworth, but whether it was filled with equal ineffi-
ciency or not we cannot say, the noble lord being much
too minor a figure to be noticed at a period like that,
whatever might be his merits or shortcomings. On the
accession of the Aberdeen Cabinet, his fidelity, or sup-
posed fidelity, though we never heard that it was tested
by any offer in any other quarter, to the Peelite party
was rewarded by the Postmaster-Generalship, and its
2,5001. a.year. Here his great merit, and a great one it is
in a man naturally fussy, dogmatic and opinionative, as
all the peelitea are, was that he really left a practical man
to manage practical matters in the department. He did
not overrid the experience or thwart the suggestions of
Mr. Rowland Hill, at least to any great degree, that ever
we heard of; andrin so far he is entitled to con siderablem edit,
so much so indeed as to rank as about the best, that is the
least mischievous, Postmaster we have ever had. But
with the charming incongruity which characterises so
many of our official transmutations, no sooner has he
become used to the work he is paid for being supposed
to understand, and has acquired the character we have
given, than he is whisked out of the place, and. of all
things on earth, made a Governor-General of India !
Observe, too, the period so judiciously chosen for this
performance—just at the moment of the inauguration of
an organic alteration in the postal laws, when, if
ever, some knowledge of the working of the existing
machine is necessary, and when, if ever, a novice might
be supposed to shrink with a consciousness of peculiar
unfitness, from attempting what the successor of Lord
Canning, whoever he may be, will ostensibly have to
undertake. This latter, however, is a trivial considera-
tion as regards the far greater one at stake. If Lord
Canning were likely to make a proper Governor-Gene-
ral of India it is not the fear of his being succeeded by
an indifferent Governor-General of St. Martin's-le-
Grand that should keep him from the East. But it is
absurd to suppose that he is the proper person to be the
recipient of this the highest gift in the power of the
Crown, or rather of the Minister, to bestow ; one in-
volving responsibilities the most serious, and therefore
demanding capacity commensurate with these responsi-
bilities.

There is a man in England at the present moment
rich in all the attributes that Lord Canning lacks—in all
the attributes essential in a Governor-General of India.
He is a man who has most successfully administered the
affairs of two of the most important British dependencies,
in times not merely of casual excitement but of absolute
and unmistakeable peril, and has succeeded not only in
putting down troubles, but in eliciting from those who
caused them the cordial admission that he had put them
down wisely, and had with equal wisdom built up peace,
contentment, and prosperity, where there had been anar-
chy, contention, and poverty. He is a man, more-
over, who, in virtue of these very services, was
naturally regarded by all that portion of the
public who bestow attention on Colonial and
Eastern affairs as entitled to the Governorship of India
when Lord Dalhousie should resign ; and it was not
deemed within the reach of probability that any minister
would appoint any other person while this person was
available. We need hardly say that we mean Lord El-
gin, who has lately returned from Canada, whose con-
dition is the best possible evidence of the abilities of the
man who has ruled over that colony for a longer period
than any other governor, and during which period the
province underwent a rapid but progressive change from
the extremes we have described.

puzzled. Politics, even in the ordinary sense of the
term, do not interfere, the Earl of Elgin giving a warm
though independent support to the Palmerston Admi-
nistration, and making infinitely the best speech in its
kvour in the Upper House, in answer to Lord Ellen-
borough's damaging attack. But wonderful indeed is it
that a man in every way so much his inferior as Lord
Canning, should not only be preferred, but actually
taken out of an office for which he is very well suited,
and the filling up of which will, of course, be the occa-
sion of more official dislocation, and mischief, confusion,
and perplexity, and will furnish fresh matter for the

MR. H. C. COOPER'S CONCERT.—Mr. Cooper's fourth
and last violin soirée took place the other night at the
New Beethoven Rooms in Queen Anne-street, and was
well attended. The chief instrumental attractions con-
sisted of Mendelssohn's fifth violin quartett in E flat,
Spohr's elegant duet in E minor for violin and viola, and
Beethoven's grand sonata Op. 47, in A minor, dedicated
to Kreutzer, and well-known amongst musical connois-
seurs as the " Kreutzer Sonata." Mr. Cooper's position
as the first English violinist, which we were the first to
pronounce, is now so well established hn d acknowledged
that it is only necessary to state that he sustained the
principal violin with the most consummate skill, and,
ably seconded by Mr. Charles Salaman as pianist, exe-
cuted the " Kreutzer" in such a way as to place all idea
of rivalry in the distance. In Spohr's charming duet
the tenor was played to such perfection by Mr. Webb,
who left nothing to desire as to decision, accuracy, and
finish, that it formed quite a feature in the evening's
performance. The programme was interspersed with
some vocal pieces, and a young lady debutante, Miss
Milner, with a pleasing voice and an effective, Intelli-
gent, and impassioned execution, created a favourable
impression, and was extremely well received.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
PILLS SURPASS EVERY REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF
WOUNDS.—Extract of a letter from Mr. Hubbard, of
Walsall :—" To Professor Holloway—Sir—A most re-
markable instance of the virtue of your medicines has
recently come under my notice ; a young man, a needle-
maker at Studley, was suffering from several ulcers upon
his legs and other parts of his body, so much that he
could not walk without crutches ; he had the benefit of
medical treatment for a long time, but gradually got
worse ; he was then advised to try your valuable medi-
cines, and by those alone he is perfectly cured. Sold by
