THE NEW MINISTRY.

The Ministry of the factions is at length
patched up. It is said that in the multitude
of Counsellors there is wisdom ; but if we be

not ;far mistaken there will be more cavil than
practical wisdom in their deliberations. Just fancy
a seleet circle of no less than sixteen meeting to

discuss the questions of the day ! Why, it is a
little Parliament in itself. And then, how Will

they agree on topics of national or of foreign con-
cern ? . Lord JOHN RUSSELL will only be too

happy to cut short their deliberations, unless
he hare the lion's share 'of the debate, and
the decision all to himself. The ricketty

Mountebank has upset so many coaches in his time

that he cannot abide the idea of allowing even a

coach with sixteen to pursue the even tenor of its
way, unless he be the Jehu to guide its progress
through the ruts and rough macadamisation of its

thorny path. But let us wait a bit. The new
Ministry is built on so strong a foundation that it
may topple from its very strength, and thus prove
that there may be too much of a good thing. They

have entered the Queen's closet by storm, and may

yet meet the fate of rushing-in in too hot haste.
Last evening the Earl of DERBY and Mr.
DISRAELI, each in his place, announced their
termination of office with a becoming modesty
and manliness of spirit quite refreshing.
Indeed Lord DERBY spoke as became a
patriot and a peer. He denounced the conduct
of certain parties for blabbing the observations of
her MAJESTY on the state of parties and of certain
persons in particular. But the fact was that the
conspirators were so elated with their hopeless suc-
cess, that like the lover in the Cotter's Saturday
Night " they scarce could well behave." Poor
men ! they are now daft with their " cunning"
iniquity ; but a day of reckoning may come before
they count their chickens.
It was in vain that Mr. DISRAELI entreated
the Opposition to wait until the correspondence
with Austria was published. No, like
a congenial worthy, they believed and
trembled that that correspondence would

have blown to the winds the false charges
with which they attempted to mislead the
House and humbug the country. No, no, let us
have the verdict first and the evidence may follow
when too late ! Now, can or will the country submit
to au& barefaced imposition, even though itbe sanc-
tioned and sanctified by sixteen Cabinet Ministers ?
Never ! Indeed, we know four or five of the
present Ministers who would scorn to lend
their names to such an unworthy partyjuggle• Lord
CAMPBELL, the new Lord Chancellor would never
sully his fair and well-earned fame by submitting
to such baseness. But as to some few of the old
scare-worn Whigs and some of mock Whigs alias
shabby Tories in disguise, we will take their
word for all it is worth, but trust them for
nothing. Why the correspondence of Lord
MALMESBURY shines out more brightly and
more truly British than we could have hoped
for. We knew that the Ministry of Earl
DERBY were heavily hampered by the pressure
of the Coburg influence, both at home and
abroad, to support the villainous pretensions
of the Hapsburgs in the enormity of
their oppressive doings in Italy ; and but
for that belief, we are certain Austria
would never have dared to brandish even
a broomstick at the Sardinians, much less
their French allies. The Austrians pinned their
faith on the mockery of treaties imposed upon
Europe in 1815 ; just as a robber persuades him-
self that he is entitled to his spoils because the
statute of limitations may be set up as a bar to
any further inquiry into his previous conduct.
Justly did Lord MALMESBURY express the
feeling of the people of this country
against the conduct of Austria, and for that
patriotic vindication the DERBY Ministry
have been turned out of office to make way for a
set—some of them—a rare set of int,
---rostors.

Then) is a remarkable resemblance discernible at
a Blanc .e between the last Coalition Government,
the Go, vernment of Lord ABERDEf :N, and this new
Coalitii )n Government, the Cabinet ( )f Lord PALMER-
STON. The resemblance indeed fo r the most part
amoula is almost to identity. It ii ; merely a fresh
