THE NEW MINISTRY.

The 'Marquis of SALISBURY said his noble friend at
the head of the Government bad thought it would he more
respectful to the house if he abstained from making the
usual ministerial statement until Monday next, and he
accordingly moved the wijournment of the house until
that day.
Ea 1 GRA.NVILLE said that when his noble friend
the Earl of Aberdeen asked for a similar adjournment,
he noble earl, not now in the house (Lord Derby) said
he thought that 24 hours, or three da)e at the utmost,
was all that was required to complete his arrangements.
He was not going to follow that course, because it was
of great public importance tbat a neyv Government
should have some opportunity of inspecting official do-
cuments in the public offices, of considering 'heir policy,
sad also the manner in which they intended to bring that
policy before the public at large.
The motion was then agreed to, and their lordships
adjourned until Monday next.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YEsTEttpIY.)

The ,PBAILEtt took the chair at 4 o'clock.

The attendance of members was very numerous. The
house presented a changed appearance, and from the
Opposition haein4 taken their places on the Ministerial
~ide of the house, it was with muck difficulty the Govern-
ment members could be recognised. Sir J. Graham, Mr.
S. Herbert, Mr. Gladstone, Mr Drunsnaond, Sir De Lacy
Evans, and Sir C. Napier 'at in their usual places en the
Ainisterial side of the house, below the gangway. Mr.
Spooner took a seat immediately behind the Ministerial
oencb. Mr. Whiteside and Mr. Fitzgerald occupied
eats on the present Ministerial bench, and appeared
highly delighted with their change of quarters. Mr.
Hayter, Mr. Lowe, Mr. J. Fitz4ersld, Mr. Wilson, Sir
B. Hall, and some other members of the late Govern.
inent occupied seats on the front Opposition benches.
Mr. Roebuck, Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. J. W. Fex,
Mr. Cardwell, Sir F. Baring, Mr. J. Bright, and Mr.
Gibson occupied corresponding seats on the Opposition
•ide of the house to those they did on the Ministerial
ide before the resignation of Ministers. None of the
members of the old or new Ministry were present.
Many of the members on entering the house were
unable to recognise the change, and could with diffi-
culty realise their friends. The late Attorney-General,
on entering the house, walked up to the Ministerial
benches, where he appeared greatly surprised to find
Ivlr. Whiteside sitting at his ease, The hon. and learned
gentlemen shook hands, and it was only on the late
attorney-General calling to his assistance his eye-glass
tuat he discovered his mistake, and walked across to the
Opposition side of the house amidst roars of laughter in
which many of his late colleagues heartily joined. The
attendance of members on the Opposition side of the
(house was far more numerous than those on the Minis
serial side. Lard Palmerston arrired at 20 minuce.i
past 4 o'clock, amidst loud cheers. He entered the
nouse from behind the Speaker's chair. He took his
seat in the front opposition bench, immediately opposite
his usual seat on the ministerial side of the house.
