THE CABINET.

We believe that a contemporary- has betrayed 311
undue haste in announcing yesterday, as if final/
the resignation of the First Lord of the Admiralty,
The loss of the Duke of Somerset would be a serious,
blow to the Administration of which he is one °I
the chief supports. In common with the other
members of the Government, the First Lord 1138,
placed himself at the disposition of Earl Russel
but we have no doubt that an important office Isri3O
be found in the new Administration for one Iv%
has so much talent and influence to place at its,
disposal.
The Government will of course make considerable
efforts to strengthen itself where its weakness 116:,t
in the House of Commons. We understand t'
Lord Napier will give up his post at Berlin to Prii-a.-
c,
teed to the Governorship of Madras, and it is "be
means unlikely that the Embassy at Berlin w 0
entrusted to Lord Granville, whose qualificatl°lo.
for the place will be at once recognised at all hsl3,, ,0
If the Duke of Somerset will accept Lord Granvi'eet
post of Lord President of the Council, two C 3131,1310
places, the First Lord of the Admiralty and "31
Duchy of Lancaster, will remain for disP°sof
amongst the Ministerial supporters in the House be
Commons. If the question of Reform is t 0
adjourned, as it probably will be, Messrs. Ilorsin
and Lowe would add immensely to the weight tills
debating power of the Treasury Bench. If, 011:o
other hand, Reform be urged, we do not see whet
the Ministry can gain anything but addition
weakness.—lllorning Post.

It is rumoured in legal circles that the preen
Chancellor (Lord Cranworth) will shortly after the meeting
of Parliament tender his resignation.
A son of the late Mr. Johh Leech has been 11°1131
nated by Earl Russell to the foundation of the Charters
house, and the youth, it is said, will enter as "a now bolt
in the course of the present month. 11$
TIIE DISCOVERER OF THE NEW LAKE NEAR T
SOURCES OF THE NILE, Mr. Samuel Baker, has arrived wet
London. We may expect, therefore, soon to have forth
details of his exploit.
EDGAR A. PoE.---It is proposed to erect a rnarbitB
monument over the grave of Edgar Allan Poe, tho P°,e;
His remains lie buried in an obscure corner of a POP':
terian burying-ground, and no stone yet marks his restioV
place.
Mr. EMERSON has nearly ready for the prey
edition of " Saadi's Gulistan, or Rose Garden," witb.,,,o,
introduction. The translation used is that of Glad` r•
and an Essay by Mr. James Ross will accompany

Emerson's Preface.

Mr. BALFE is again at Biarritz, France, the C,.°

The death of Mr. James Lowe, for many Ylfal4
editor of the Critic, literary journal, is announced*
v
Lowe was originally, we believe, the editor of aloutpaper at Preston, but established himself in Londe,' a,0.10
twenty years since. He was the original editor °'hottt
Critic, and he conducted that journal till it ceased, 'to
three years since. He was also an active contributor
ell
the Field, the Queen, and other journals, and was in
known in connection with the Acclimatisation Seciet/'
the objects of which he took a warm interest. gr. l'°sce
death was occasioned by an attack of erysipelas. 1,00
