England and Europe, as far as he possibiF
would be qual to
beneath the ascendancy of Russia,
sink any Cabinet in which he might hold a promm:nt sta-
tion to the lowest depths of political contempt. But from
what occurred in both Houses of Parliament last night,
it is evident that the nucleus of an Administration adheres
to the place of what was recently the Whig Cabinet. The
Lord Chancellor and Lord Melbourne remain in office for
their country's good, and, animated with that chivalrous
devotion to a great cause which makes all considerations of
self yield to an absorbing patriotism, seem even disposed to
undergo the disagreeable labour of constructing a new
Administration. The Courier, indeed, has. discovered that
no man enjoys the confidence of the country in an equal
degree with Lord Althorp, and has kindly recommended
him to his Majesty to be the architect of the new Cabinet.
No doubt the abilities which Lord Althorp displayed
as a financier eminently entitles him to the ardent wishes
of the country for his higher elevation. Considering his
celebrated "tile and taxed cart" budget, and " his boon
to the female population," to say nothing of malt and win-
dow-tax exploits, the country owes him a large debt of
gratitude. Still we think it will not unreasonably wish to
drag him from retirement if he is particularly desirous of
returning to the pastoral and bovine cares of his Sabine
farm. He has fallen with dignity—procumbit lau boa,
and it would be a pity to expose him to the risk of another
and a heavier fall. The grateful recollections of " the
shepherds' dogs" which he has just relieved from taxation,
will follow him into his retirement, and some poet of the
sheep-walks will inscribe pastorals to his name. It will b.
seen by reference to the report, that his Lordship gave an
account of the circumstances which led to his resignation
in the House of Commons. He attributes all to the Co-
ercion Bill and the Littleton and O'Connell episode there-
upon. He has, no doubt, told the truth so far as he has
gone ; but has he told the whole truth ? It is a curious
coincidence that be did not tender his resignation until
after the division upon the motion of Lord Chandos, when
he found that the promise to relieve " shepherds and their
dogs" from taxation, by way of relief to the agricultural in-
terests, did not save Ministers from a virtual defeat, for such
it was. He does not say a word either about the odious
Malthusian Bill, anticipations of the doom of which in the
House of Lords had been entertained by the Ministry, but
which the resignations for the time averted. It appears
that Mr. Hume has just now been inspired with confidence
in that Ministry in whom he has often declared he had no
confidence, and in reference to whom he said, some time
ago in the House of Commons, that he would prefer an
avowed Tory Government •to a Whig Government con-
ducted on Tory principles. Besides, he voted for the motion
of Lord Chandos, which, we believe, gave the finishing
blow to the Whig Administration. For our own part, whether
Lord Brougham succeed in forming a new Administration,
or it fall into the hands of anybody else, we shall wait to
see of what materials it is constructed, and what its princi-
ples are, before we praise or blame. Pursuing an indepen-
dent course, and looking only to the interests of the country,
without caring for sect or party, we shall be ready to sup-
port the new Administration, if we think it honestly pursues
the country's interest ; if not, we shall give it sincere and
fearless opposition. If the Whigs had taken our well-meant
advice when they first showed symptoms of backsliding from
principle, they would not have met with their untimely and
inglorious overthrow.—Morning Herald.

JUDGES SALARIES.--We understand that the
salaries of the Judges in the Court of Session are to be in-
creased—those of the heads of the two Inner Courts to 5,0001.
each, and those of the other Judges to 3,0001.—a1l the Judges
to do duty as Lords of Session, Justiciary, and Jury Court.
It also proposed, we believe, that any Judge, of the age of
75, and who has done duty for fifteen years, shall be allowed
to retire on full salary. We think the following Judges may,
and very.likely will, avail themselves of this privilege, viz.:—
Lord President Hope, Lords Glenlee, Balgray, Gillies, and
Cringletie. This would make room for a famous seramble
amongst the Whig lawyers.—Edinburgh Evening Post.
THE LIFE OF A SOLDIER, BY A FIELD OFFICER.
—This is a narrative of twenty-seven years' service in various
parts of the world, and we suspect that there is not a veteran
in the service who will not "fight all his battles o'er again" as
he peruses it. The work is written with all the ease, simplicity,
and gaiety of familiar colloquy ; and what the general reader
will be most pleased with, there is a rich substratum of hu-
mour, frolic,
and joviality, pervading every scene where they
can be admitted without incongruity. A great recommenda-
tion to these volumes is, that they contain the actual history
of events the most memorable in the annals of the civilised
world, and that as all may read them from the purity and de-
licacy of the narrative, so all should read them for the valuable
facts which they so agreeably detail.
