THE PEEL CABINET.

Various rumours are afloat as to the persons
who are likely to constitute Sir Robert Peel's
Ministry. We do not guarantee the authenticity
of the following statement as to the persons who
are actually to form the Cabinet, but of the prin-
ciples to be represented in it there can be no
doubt whatever.

We need not name the more than Whig and
worse than Tory hack, who, as the Lord Chan-
cellor, is to represent the profligacy of the Bar
and the oppressiveness of the Bench. A fit em-
blem of both can only be found in the ranks of
the Tories. The enemy of Ireland and of the
harmony of the empire is the proper head of the
law, which seems made to ravage the people,--Land
of the lawyers, who, for their own advantage,
carry it into effect.

The great commercial and monied interest
which prides itself on its respectability, which
has no sympathy for anything hut wealth, which
is all for specious order and submission, which
is decorous beyond decorum itself, while it fills
its pouch without ever inquiring into the means,
winch readily lends itself on all occasions to
every Government to execute any tyranny, re-
quiring only in return security for its gains, how-
ever exhorbitant or however made, will be aptly
represented by Sir Robert Peel himself: He is
the true emblem of the present generation of
great English merchants, of much show and little
solidity, fair spoken, and untldr meaning, with an
imposing outside, covering great hollownes,-,
signing petitions one day for free trade, and sign-
ing petitions the next against the measures
which are to give effect to those principles, act-
ing wholly for their personal or party interest,
while they pretend to be solicitous for the public
good. Of all the race of Bank Directors, great
merchants, who thrive on monopolies, loans,
and corruptions, and see unmoved the oppression
of their poorer brethren, Sir Robert Peel is the
proper emblem, and he will, therefore, represent
them in the Cabinet.

partments, the sinister interest of the bread-taxers

in the new inistry.
There is t minor class of traders and manufac-
turers who yet look to prosper by means of pro-
tection. There are the hangers-on of the. East
and West India interests; persons connected with
ship brokerage, members of emigration com-
panies, and emigration agents, who would like to
see Mr. Irving in the Cabinet, but that gentle-
