LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1853.

The mantle of Sir CHARLES WOOD appears to
have descended (we shad not say with double
" virtue," inasmuch as the term would be very
inapplicable, but) with double power on the
present Head of the Financial Department of the
Government. Mr. GLADSTONE may not be quite
as blind to the signs of the times as his Whig pre-
decessor, but he is equally indifferent to the voice
of opinion, whether expressed through aggregate
meetings, the public journals, or even the chosen
representatives of independent constituencies. He
will not surrender a single crotchet, on any degree
of pressure or under any circumstances. He is
even a more mischievous Administrator than Sir
CHARLES WOOD, because so much better qualified
to assign plausible arguments in favour of his de-
cisions, and "to make the worse appear the better

reason."
