LORDS OF THE BEDCHAMBER.

Lord SIDNEY, Lord VERULAM, Lord MINT°,

Lord SITEFFIELPt

\TJ. Etv MINISTRY.—The public were literally
astounded on reading in the evening papers of Monday the list
of the new Cabinet. An Aditittistratleti Stt purely and ex-
clusively Tory, wag what they were by no means prepared to
expect, and we are much mistaken if it is not also what they
will steadily refuse to maintain. The Reform Act constitutes
the htitiy the ultimate
tqitt;sal of a Ministry, and we are of opinion that that which
has just been chosen is not fated to be of long duration.—
Manchester Guardian.

Sir James Scarlett will take his seat with all due
ceremony to-morrow as Chief Baron in the Court of Exche-
quer. Sir James is to be created a Peer by the title of Baron
Arhinger, being the name of his estate near Dorking, Surrey.
This month has been remarkable for changes in the Courts of
Law, and it is not unlikely but the next month or February,
will be nearly equally so, as the Duke of Wellington's Admi-
nistration rests, at present on a sandy foundation.

We hear that no successor has been yet appointed
to the Earl of Belfast, who has resigned his post of Vice-
Chamberlain of the King's house. The Noble Earl was re-
quested by his Majesty to retain his keys of office for the pre-
sent. The new Lord Chamberlain has been created a G. C. H.,
and took possession of his new office on Saturday.

Colonel Fox continued to transact business up to
Saturday at the Ordnance Office, as Surveyor-General of that
department, his successor not having been yet appointed. Mr.
Bonham, the Secretary of the Conservative Election Com-
mittee in Carlton Gardens, is the new Storekeeper, vice the
lion. Captain Duncan, R. N.
•
Mr. Kelly has received a silk gown.

The Tories may guess at the fate which awaits them,
even in the counties (thanks to the 50/. clause), their strong-
hold, from what has just occurred in the Northern Division of
the County of Northumberland. The present members, are
Lord Ilowick, son of Earl Grey, and Lord Ossulston, a kind
of demi-Tory. Mr. Liddell, son of Lord Ravensworth, was
dispatched from the Carlton Club, with his purse well filled
from the subscription fund, with the promise of a place, if he
succeeded in ousting the reforming candidate. After having
canvassed the county, he has been compelled to retire from the
field, having, as he himself states in his address, become con-
vinced that, by attempting a contest, he would not only fail,
but run great risk of causing the defeat of the waverer, and
seating two Reformers. And
)et this is a part of the country
where the influence of a high Tory Duke is supposed to be
predominant, and is almost wholly agricultural.
A requisition to his Grace the Duke of Gordon, to
preside at a meeting in Inverness in support of Church Esta-
blishments, was lately presented to his Grace ; but the Duke
has delinei to take the Chair, in consequence of the interven-
tion of various circumstances.—lnverness Courier.

It is very generally understood that the dissolution
of Parliament has been postponed to the period now fixed,
that the elections might not interfere with the festivities of the
Christmas week, or with the business of the various Quarter
Sessions throughout the kingdom.

Sir James Scarlett will be sworn in as Chief Baron
to-day, but he Will not take his scat until the first day of next
Term.
