LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16, 1834.

We yesterday laid before our readers the names of
the actors who are about to appear in the new tragi-
comedy. How the piece was to be cast had not then
transpired. We can now state from authority, that
the parts have been allotted in the following manner:—
Sir R. PEEL, First Lord of the Treasury and
Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Lord LYNDHURST, Lord Chancellor.

Duke of WELLINGTON, Foreign Secretary.

, Lord WHARNCLIFFE, Privy Seal.
Earl of ABERDEEN, First Lord of the Admiralty.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL, Paymaster of the Forces.
Lord Ros s LYN, President of the Council.
Mr. A. BARING, President of the Board of Trade.
Mr. GOULBURN, Secretary for the Home Depart•
ment.

Sir G. MURRAY, Master-General of the Ordnance.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH, President of the Board of
Control.
Mr. HERRIES, Secretary at War.
Sir HENRY HA RDINGE, Secretary for Ireland.
The above form the Cabinet.
The Secretaryship for the Colonies, and the Chancel.
lorship of the Duchy of Lancaster, are not yet filled up.
The following appointments have also been made
Sir E. SUGD EN, Chancellor of Ireland.
Sir J. SCA RLETT, Chief Baron of the Exchequer.
Lord JERSEY, Lotd Chamberlain.
Sir GEORGE CLERK, Bart., and Sir THOMAS
FRANCIS FREMANTLE, Bart., Joint Secretaries of
the Treasury.
Lord MA HON, Under Foreign Secretary.
The Right Hon. GEORGE ROBERT DAWSON,
Secretary of the Admiralty.
Mr. BONHAM, Storekeeper of the Ordnance.
Mr. F. POLLOCK, Attorney-General.
Mr. PENIBER TON, Solicitor-General.
It will be observed that the name of Lord C II ANDOS
is not in the above list. There is a little hitch. The
Noble Lord was, we believe, intended for the Colonial
Department, but having always declared himself a friend
to tne agricultural interest, he is supposed to have made
• the repeal of the malt tax the condition of his joining
the Administration. Sir ROBERT, not having been
Chancellor of the Exchequer long enough to see his
way clearly, thinks four millions rather too large a slice

to be taken from the revenue at once, without mature
deliberation, and some little forecast as to the means of
filling up the void in his Majesty's Exchequer. Thus
the matter stands at present. To a Tory Administra-
tion Lord CHANDOS would undoubtedly bring a con-
siderable accession of strength ; and Sir ROBERT is
therefore naturally anxious to secure him, but four mil-
lions is a staggering price. Upon the general corn-
position of the Administration it is hard!y necessary to
say a word. If any doubt could have remained as to
the course of policy which a Cabinet, headed by the
Duke of WELLINGTON would pursue, it must be
removed by the character of the men whom he has
called to his side--men who have vied with one
another in their defence of every abuse, and in
their hostility to every thing_ bearing the name of
Reform. The people of Ireland, we think, will receive
the intelligence communicated` by last night's'postwith
peculiar satisfaction. They
.will hail, in their enthu-
siastic manner, the token of` peace and conciliatr,en
,
held out to them, in the appointment of Sir ELIViARD
SUGDEN and Sir HENRY HARDINGE to their re-
spective offices. ~There is something siniMily-47-a
Military Government sending a military officer to
administer the affairs of Ireland at the present mo-
ment ; and if any thing could add to the exultation
which the Irish must feel at this appointment, it is
that this officer receives his orders directly from their
old and sincere friend, the Right Hon.H.GOULBURN.

There is one subject the importance of which is so
great that we cannot too strongly recommend it to the
attention of every reflecting Reformer. The Ultra-
Liberals (we do not wish to use the term offensively
have been loud in their denouncements of Whig imbe-
cility ; and so determined do they appear in the ex-
pression of their contempt, that they openly avow their
intentions to support Tory candidates at the approach-
ing elections, with a view to oust the Whigs. Look
at the Manchester proceedings. Now this is anything
but judicious ; and a very little reflection would con-
vince them that such a course would be mistaken po-
licy. The Whigs, bad as they were, are at least better
Reformers than the Tories can ever be. The Whigs
might blunder a little now and then, but they would not
retard. If the Tories are enabled to maintain the power
they have acquired, they may be forced to do small
somethings to appease the people ; yet all that they
may consent to do will be by compulsion. If the
Tories can maintain their present triumph, they will
feel bound by their principles to resist and oppose to
the last extremity, short of a public uprising. Would
it, therefore, be wise to trust to their unwilling mercy
for what others, though defective as practical men,
would have no disinclination for ? The Tories would
prove themselves unwilling servants in a cause they
hate, and are they to be chosen because those whom
they have supplanted were not quite so expert or so
efficient as necessity required. The non -return of the
Whigs, and the exclusion of the Ultra-Liberals, would
make the Tory party all powerful. In such a case
reform would be indeed crippled ; nay, a Tory majority
would fully justify a Tory Administration, in an appeal
to their position, as indicative of the real feeling of the
people being against what they call spoliation, but
what others call reform.

Unity will be the very soul of opposition—dissen-
sion, the triumph of the enemy. All party differences
and distinctions must be abandoned ; the Radical
must for a while uphold the Whig, until victory be
achieved. When the battle is won, adjustment will
readily follow ; but now, any rupture in the ranks of
the Opposition would be to cause a fatal weakness.
They should think of this ; all feelings of indigna-
tion must be laid on the shelf for a season, else

We regret to learn the retirement of Mr. WOL-
RYCIIE WHITMORE from the representation of
Wolverhampton, which now leaves two vacancies for
that borough—Mr. FRYER having also resigned.
Two staunch Reformers have started, with almost the
certainty of success—Mr. THORNLEY, of Liverpool,
and Mr. NICHOLAS THROCKMORTON. The known
principles of Mr. THORNLEY—his liberal and en-
lightened sentiments on commercial policy—his ac-
knowledged services on the great question of the
Orders in Council, and his intimate acquaintance with
the general trade of the country, render him peculiarly
qualified for the choice of the liberal electors of
Wolverhampton.

The prosecution of the editor of the National is
the only subject of moment discussed in the Paris
Papers of Sunday. These journals contain a
report of the examination of M. ROUEN, the re-
sponsible editor, before the Chamber of Peers, with
the discussion which took place after he had been or-
dered to retire from the bar. When asked whether he
was, or was not the real author of the article
forming the subject of prosecution, he declined
giving any other answer, than that he was prepared to
receive the sentence, and bear the punishment, if
any, awarded by the Chamber, as if he were the writer.
In requesting time to prepare for his defence,
M. ROUEN demanded that M. ARMAND CARREL,
the well known Editor of the National, should be
allowed to appear as his counsel. This was stren-
uously opposed by several Members of the Chamber,
but it was finally agreed that M. CARREL should be
permitted to appear.

At a public dinner given yesterday by the members
of the Lumber Troop, Mr. G ROTE, alluding to the
present political crisis, observed, " the Government
should meet with his most decided and most uncom-
promising opposition. He knew that there were
some of sufficiently easy faith to believe what
had been stated in public prints ; -- profes-
sions had been made not to the parties
themselves, but in their names—that they were pre-
pared with some Reforms. He could recognize no such
deceptions. He knew the parties only as anti-reform-
ers ; then what could he expect from them ? As to
their Reforms, he believed all the Reforms that would
be given them by Sir R. PEEL, and the Duke of
WEL L I NG TO N, would go through the eye of the smallest
needle. But if they were sincere in their professions
to give reform, then he would say that they were not
to be trusted." This is well said, and will be re-
sponded to by every honest Reformer throughout the
country. Who indeed with the unclouded use of his
senses, can give credence to Tory professions of
Reform, especially when it is borne in mind that the
head of these new-fangled Reformers—even Sir R.
PEEL himself— stated, on the dissolution of the
boroughmongering Parliament, that " it had ceased to
be an honour to hold a high office under the Crown I"
This was before the Reform Bill was carried—yet now
that it has triumphed, the Right Hon. Baronet has
found out, with his usual discretion, that so far from
the discredit attached to office being doubled by

such a calamity, it is in reality a very fine thing
to be a Minister, and the finest of all to be
a Premier ! There is actually not one single indi-
vidual out of all those who have yet received appoint-
ments to office, who can advocate anything like
salutary Reform, without committing himself more
hopelessly than he would do, who should make
affidavit at Bow-street, that to the best of his
belief, black was white. Well may Mr. GROTE
threaten such men with his " uncompromising opposi-
tion." 'There folly—madness—to keep terms with
them, and a still more deplorable act of infatuation to
trust them. The wolf in his own proper clothing,
though dangerous, may be guarded against : but the
wolf in the clothing of the sheep has all the odds in
his favour, and must therefore be regarded as the
subtlest and most powerful of enemies.
