TUESDAY ALOHA/NG, FEB. 4, 1845

The probable new arrangements in the Cabinet,
consequent upon the retirement of Mr. W. E.
Gladstone, have during the past week excited much
attention in political circles. The latest information
which we have received upon the subject is con-
tained in the following paragraph, which we extract
from the Herald of yesterday :

" It is now definitively arranged. we believe, that the
Right Hon. Sir Thomas Freemantle goes to Ireland as
Lord Eliot's successor in the important office of Chief
Secretary ; that the Hon. Sidney Herbert leaves the
Admiralty, and takes Sir Thomas Freemantie's place as
Secretary-at-War, with a seat in the Cabinet; and that
the Right Hon. I-I. T. L. Corry succeeds to the First
Secretaryship of the Admiralty, vacated by Mr. Sidney
Herbert. With regard to Mr. Cardwell, M.P., whose
same has Yeen mentioned in print, in connection with
these necessary changes, we are enabled to say that, up
to the present moment, he has not accepted any appoint-
ment under government, but it is hoped that, ere long,
the country will have the benefit of his services. It was
stated in the City on Saturday evening, upon authority
which admits of no doubt, that Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P.,
has been invited by Sir Robert Peel to take an office in
all respects suited to his talents and commercial know-
ledge, and we fully expect that we shall, in a day or two,
have to announce his accession to the Ministry in a
position in which he can be eminently useful. Lord
Dalhousie, as our readers are aware, quits the Vice-
Presidency of the Board of Trade, and will become the
head of that department, by reason of the retirement of
the Hon. W. E

Gladstone,

We fully coincide with our contemporary in his
anxiety to see Mr. Cardwell occupying a place in
the administration. Independently of his rising
character in his own profession, which we have had
many opportunities of witnessing,

the mob, driven to a frenzy of passion by the

meddling and exasperating policy of Lord Palmer-
ston, under the firm and yet conciliatory policy of
Lor Aberdeen has ceased to attract and infuriate.
We may surely, therefore, at length, hope for that
consummation which for years has been prayed for
by the enlightened portion of the people of England
and France, and retarded mainly by the feelings of
irritation animating the French people towards us,
viz., a liberal extension of the commercial arrange-
ments between the two countries. We showed
last week, that, during the past year, our own ex-
ports of cotton manufactures to France were on the
increase, as, we have no doubt, were our imports
of various commodities from that country. Why
may we not now hope for such mutually advanta-
geous commercial arrangements between the two
countries as would cement, by the tie of a common
interest in the preservation of peace, their present
good understanding and the permanent security
and happiness of both nations ?

We have not of late years remembered a session
of Parliament, whose opening has been looked for-
ward to with more intense anxiety, by men of all
classes and all parties, than the forthcoming session
of 1845. And this not because such opening is
likely to be attended by any great conflict of party—
not because, during its progress, the fate of any mi-
stry is likely to be placed at issue—but chiefly, if
from a burning desire in the public mind,
ingled in some quarters with a sort of
ead, to ascertain the steps about to be taken, in
important questions, by a ministry, which
may be said to be in a position to choose and carry
its own m

not unm

various

sures, and whose principles, and the
past actions of some of its members, are of so
doubtful a character that the most astute enquirer is
to prognosticate in what direction, or to-

wards what set of opinions, those steps may incline.
We shall here briefly glance at some of these ques-
with any hope of solving them, were it
even worth the while to make the attempt, which a
few hours may render unnecessary, but with a view
of exhibiting the vast responsibility of the position of
that statesman, towards whom so many anxious eyes
ar?, at this moment turned.

Cons, no

Our financial condition, and the particular policy
likely to he adopted, in consequence of the existing
perity of the country, present the most promi-
, subjects for consideration. We have this year
a surplus revenue at the disposal of government,
ig to little, if at all, short of four millions

arc ou

sterling. From every direction the inquiry is=--in
what way will the premier apply this large surplus?
and from almost every class we have claims made
for a participation, and from some for an absorbing
share in the benefits which he is thereby enabled to
bestow upon them. Thus far, however, impenetra-
ble secrecy hangs over the intentions of the minis-
ter; and whether we are to be driven further in the
direction of free trade, by a new modification of the
tariff; whether we are to be relieved entirely from
the pressure of that not very popular impost, which
we submitted to as the price of the last modifica-
tion, or whether the amount at the disposal of go-
vernment is to be employed in some grand financial
operation for the reduction of the public debt itself,
there is not even a whisper or a hint to tell us.
Nor even if we conclude that it is to he applied•to
duction of taxation, are we any better inforMed
as to the particular class to which this surplus is
likely to he applied. The sugar duties, exelaim
some, will be selected ; but we have no ground for
such conclusion. On the contrary, we have Sir
Robert Peel's declaration of last session, that he did
not meditate any immediate interference with them.
The duties on cotton wool, foreign sheep's wool,
and other manufacturing staples, have their eager
claimants; but with as little information as to the
probable success of the claims. The assessed taxes
are put forward for repeal ; the window tax, only,
some ask to be relieved from; the income tax (apart
from the property tax), the duties on bricks, glass,
and other exciseable commodities, have their several
claimants; but not even a conjecture can be safely
hazarded towards which of all these parties the mi-

the re
