THE ABERDEEN MINISTRY-PREPON-

DERANCE OF PEELITES.

The Whigs, as might be expected, are very indignant
at the undue proportion of Peelites, compared with
themselves, who have received places in the new Admi-
nistration : nor do they hesitate to express their surprise
that Lord John Russell and the Marquis of Lansdowne, '
who negotiated matters for the Whigs, should not have
stipulated for greater justice being done to their party.
The entire number of Peelites, taking both Houses to-
gether, is only thirty-three, and of this number no fewer
than twenty-four are snugly ensconced in office • and
what is more, have got the best offices too. The Whigs,
or rather the Liberals, who voted against the Budget,
are 265 in number, and yet only fifteen have got places
in the Aberdeen Administration. Who then can
wonder that the Whigs should be astonished and in-
dignant at the comparatively small allowance which
they have received of the loaves and fishes of office ?
But what will appear still more astounding, when it is
remembered that Lord John Russell, the ex-Whig Pre-
mier, is in the present Cabinet,—is the fact, that out of
the 16 noblemen and gentlemen who composed that
Cabinet, the names of only 6 are to be found in the new
Government. The 10 who are excluded are the follow-
ing :
Lord Chancellor—Truro.
