POLITICAL RC MOURS.

(Prom the Mornvig Berald.)
The Cardwell vote is naturally the subject of conver-
sation in all the political circles of the capital.
After the resignation of Lcrd Elle.nborough it was
generzly understood that Mr. Cardwell would n, t per-
sist in his motion„ and we have reason to believe that
many influential members of the Liberal party pressed
upon the right hon. gentleman the propriety of with-
drawing it.

as these counsels were they did not prevail, and
the Palrnerstonian jackals resolved that they would not
be cheated of their prey.
The arrangements made at Cambridge House on Sun-
day last for the f.rmation of a second Palmerstonian
admini-tration have now oozed out, and will excite con-
sideratde surprise.

.Aitnough Lord John Fuss-11, who -has thought it
con,i,tent with his duty to renew his eon vivialitteß at
Cambridge Hous,, is said to have recognised Lnrd Pal-
ine„ton a, his leader, th, office which has bought his
allegiance is not yet koown.
M. Smith having pruved his utter incapacity for an
in was to he made Lord Privy Seal, with
apTerratgl.t 10
. A)fstt:r his performance last night this appoint-
m nt will probably find no great favour with the
country.

Lord Clanricarde was to be Cbancellorof the Duchy of
LaLoaster, with a seat in the Cabinet.

Mr. Cardwell was offered the post of Chancellor of
the Exchequer, as reward for his disinterewed assistance.
Mr. Horseman has, at last, succumbed to the artifices
of the specious Hayter. For some time past the riobt
hon. gentleman has adopted an honourable anti it:de-
pendant course, which cause] great consternation
amongst the placerr:en, whose intrigues be has more
than once succeeded in baffling. Mr. Horseman's p, si-
Lion might well have excited the envy of many an aro-
bitiouii man. He was in a fair way to become the
spokesman, if not the leader, of the sincere Liberal
party ; but the temptations to which he has been
exposed have proved irresistable, and we have great
reason to believe that he has joined the great
Cambridge House intrigue, on the understanding
that, in the event of its success, his claims to some
lucrative office are to be duly considered. The right
hon. gentleman having now resolved to accept Lord
Palmerston's bid for his services, will vote for Mr. Card-
well's motion, and will probably state his reasons for
doing so in a speech replete with statesmanlike and
patriotic sentiments, expressed in lofty language.
Lords Clarendon and Granville were to return to their
former posts.
It was arranged that the Lowes, Bouveries,
should be handsomely provided for,
The gene-ral opinion is that this disgraceful combina-
tion to obtain office a t any sacrifice of principle will be
frustrated probably,:V the House of Commons, but at
any rate on a:dissolution, by
.!he country.
Englishmen of all shades of opinion hate underhand
proceeding..., and, in this instance, they will not be slow
to mark their sense of the unworthy conduct of the
opposition.

It is but just to say that many eminent men who
differ widely from ministers have studiously held aloof
from the new Sunday movement, inaugurated, we are
sorry to say, by Lord Shaftesbury himself. Amongst
these are Mr. Bright, Mr. Roebuck, and Mr. Milner
Gir son.
Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Dillwyn have given notice of
important arnendmen,s to Mr. Carl well's motion.
