Lord John Russell, as far as the primary materials
are concerned, has shown great capacity in the construction
of his Cabinet. His prompt and perceptive mind has fixed
upon the very men whose business-like qualities, general
talent, and recognised standing in the Senate point at as fit
components of a Ministry capable of as much external
strength as internal aptitude and harmony. In the eleva-
tion of our representative, Sir George Grey, to the most im-
portant and responsible office of her Majesty's Chief Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department, his Lordship has
placed that Right Ilon. Baronet in the precise position in
which his active and comprehensive mind, his thorough mas-
tery and judicious control of the complex machinery of Go-
vernment, can be best exercised for the lasting benefit of his
countrymen. It would be as unworthy of ourselves as of the
Right Hon. Baronet, were we to speak of his appointment in
any way that should approach the commonplace commends-
tions of the day; it is sufficient, therefore to add, that it is
an exceedingly high honour—appreciated, we are sure, by
the constituency in general—to have such a man as our re-
presentative in Parliament, a man who gives the strongest
promise of yet being at the head of the councils of this
m igh ty:empi re —Devonport ladyendent.
