CBE NEW MINISTRY.

At. an . early hour on Tuesday morning Treasury mes-
sengers were despatched with communications from the
Right-Hon. Sir Robert Peel to the Duke of Buckingham,
at Stowe Park, near Buckingham, and to the Earl
of Liv, rpool,. at Buxted Park, near Uckfield, Sussex..
The Duke of Buckingham arrived at Buckingham
House, Pall-mall, late in the afternoon, and immediately
proceeded to Sir Robert's residence in Whitehall-gar-
dens, to have an interview.
The Earl of Liverpool arrived at Fife House, White-
hall, on Tuesday evening. The Noble Earl is named as
Lord Steward of the Queen's Household.
On Tuesday the Right Hon. Baronet was busily en-
gaged7.from an early hour in completing the Ministerial
arrangements.
The:Earl of Aberdeen and Lord Ellenborough had
audiences of Sir IL Peel on Tuesday morning, and the
following Noblemen and Gentlemen had interviews with
the Right Hon. Baronet by appointment :—The Earl of
Haddington, Earl of Ripon, Viscount Castlereagh, the
Earl a Hardwicke, Lord Francis Egerton, Lord Wharn-
cliffe,.,the Right Hon. Sir Henry Hardinge, Sir Thomas
Freeniantle, Sir Frederick Pollock, Sir William Follett,
Sir George Clerk, Sir George Cockburn, Mr. Gladstone,
Lord Lyndhurst, the Right lion. henry Goulburn,
Right Hon.. Sir Edward Knatchbull, &c. _ .

Shortly before five Mr. E. H. Anson, treasurer to his
Royal. Highness Prince Albert, arrived from Windsor
Castle, and had an audience of Sir Robert Peel, and we
understand was the bearer of a letter from her Majesty
to the Right Hon. Baronet.
The Duke of Wellington received the chief members
of the future Administration to dinner on Tuesday evening
at Apslisy House. It was a select circle confined to the
Right Hon.. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., the Earl of Aber-
deen, Earl of Ripon, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Stanley,
Lorditllenborough, the Right lion. Sir James Graham,
Bart., and the Right Hon. Charles Arbuthnot. On re-
tiring from the dinner-table the Noble Duke and his col-
leagues held a conference, which lasted several hours.
The meeting at - Sir Robert Peel's on Monday night
did not tweak:up until' nearly one o'clock.
We learnt at a late hour last night, from an authentic
source, that the Right Honourable.Sir Robert Peel, Bart.,
will leave town thiS*Voliini.TUr Windsor Castle, when
the Right Hon. Baronet will submit to his Sovereign
the list of his Ministerial appointnients.
It is said that, in addition to the Duke of Wellington
and Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of
Ripon, Lord Lyndhurst; Lord Ellenbordugh, Lord'Stan-
ley, the Right lion. Sir James Graham and the Right
Hon. Henri Goulburn will form the chief members of
the Cabinet.

The household of his-R.l3yd Highness Prince Albert
will undergo but a very trifling change, and we have
reason to believe Mr. E. Anson will continue treasurer
to his Royal Highness.

THE MAGAZINES.
THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.

The first article gives a continuation of the
campaign in Syria, which, not on account of its
length, or want of interest, we are sorry to see is
not concluded. This is one great fault of this
Magazine. The middle or conclusion of an his-
torical account is often brought out a month after
the previous part, when the commencement is
forgotten, or the. reader has had recourse to some
other publication to ascertain the result. One
bcod article complete is infinitely better than ten
etter articles containing only the membra dis-
jecta of a narrative. There are not less than
seven or eight of these mangled articles in this
number. The series entitled "England's Wooden
Walls," though somewhat partaking of that cha-
racter, bag not the same defects, as each part is
complete in itself. The present part gives a his-
torical account of the " Vanguard," now a ship
of the line, but in 1588 only a ship of war of 500
tons, and gives an animated description of the
share she had in the battle of the Nile. The fol-
lowing account, though some of it has been given
before, will be read with interest:—
" During the heat of the action Sir Horatio Nelson
received a painful, and as it was at first generally feared
mortal, wound. He was struck immmediately over the
right eye by a piece of langridge, the force of which
was happily nearly spent. Although the pain was most
intense, Nelson, on being led or carried below to the
cockpit, desired, it is said, he might wait until it came to
his turn, among the numerous wounded, to be attended
to. The surgeon, Mr. Jefferson, however, on discovering
his presence, immediately proceeded to examine the
wound, and found that a piece of the skin of his fore-
head, which had been cut to the bone, was hanging down
over the right eye, which for the time completely
obscured his sight. Mr. Jefferson assured him there
was no immediate danger •, bat Nelson, deeming
his wound 'Mortal, requested Mr. Comyn, his chap-
lain, to--convey his dying. remembrance to Lady
Nelson, and at the same time ordered the Minoraut
to be hailed, and Captain Louis to be thanked for
Coining so nobly to • the Vanguard's assistance. The
surgeon, having dressed and bound up the wound, re-
