Lord LYNDHURST had an interview with
Lord ti.noN, at his residence in Hamilton-place, yesterday
morning. The intervkw lasted upwards of three hours.
The new Cabinet has now entered on the ex-
eirise tif its functions ; cud it is not difficult to perceive al-
ready the indications of a vigour as gratifying as the in-
-3etlsion and imbecility by which the late Administration
were marked, wa; deplorable. We have good ikason, how-
ever, for repeating the conjecture which we hazarded last
rveek, that the Duke of WELLINGTON will not remain per.
monentiv at the head of the Ministry, and that many
months will not pass away, ere we behold Mr. PEI: f. Prime
Miniater. Among the arrangemeuta which have been re-
ported as in contemplation, was that of Mr., SI:CDEN to the
office of Solicitor-GeLeral, but the appointment has not in
effect taken place, although .3ve.shall not he surprised to see
him in that situation by Easter next. For the present, Sir
4. -SARI es WrTIII;I3.Sr.r. becomea. Attorney-General, and
ir N. TINDAL remains Solicitor-General. The Corn.
