Msjesty's residence in the lals Of Wight
Such are the details-so far as we can collect
them-of the statement we made In a considerable
portion Of our impression Of yesterday. The ru-
mors in circulation, up TO late hopr Of the even
ing, will be found Ia another pat d our paper,
The following Is the most correct list Of the new

ricardo.
The great objection to the correctness of this list
is that one does not find IN II the name either OF Sir
Robert Peel or of Mr.. Golden.

In the present state OF things il would Of course
be premature TO ANNOUNCE any arrangement as to
the persons aud places IN the new government The
following list however pretty generally credited
last night in political circles.
First Lord Of the Treasury, Lord John Russell.
Lord Chancellor, Lord COttsnhqm.
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Lord Pal.
merslon.
Secretary of State for the Home Department,
Lord Morpeth
Secretary Of State for the Colonies Lord Grey.
Under Secretary for the Colonies, Mr. Charles
Butler
Chancellor Of the Exchequer, Mr., Barring.
Attorney General Sir 7. Wilde.
Solicitor General Mr. Dundas.
Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland the Marquis Of Nor

Ambassador at Paris, Lord Clarendon.
Prom the London Sun. of Dec II.
Lord John Russell having undertaken the task Of
forming a new administration, is proceeding with all
despatch in making his arrangements.
Lord Pamerston has been sent for, and will
quickly arrive in London. To him the foreign Office
will be conhded.
Lord Normandy, in all probability, takes the home
Office.
Lord Grey the colonial Office.
Mr. Barring resumes the Chancellorship Of the Ex-
chequer:
his popularity would render him an admirable Lord
Lieutenant
Lord Cottenham resumes the CHARACTERISTIC Of
England.
Lord Campbell the Chancellor Of Ireland.
Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr.. Jervis will be Attor-
ney and Solicitor Generals.
Lord Mimic takes the Admiralty.
Sir John Hobhouse, Mr.. Charles Butler, Mr..
Halves, Sir George Grey, and Mr. Tufnell, will
form parts Of the government.
Sir G. Napier and Admiral Dunda5 are 10 JOIN the
Admiralty Board.
Such are the dts Of the day.
Its understood that before Lord John Russcl's
departure he addressed communications TO several OF
his late colleagues, only one OF whom, we believe,
Mr.. Barring, happened to be in London.
We believe that Sir Robert Peel feels delighted at
his freedom Fl Il the trammcls Of Office, and from
the disagreeabes of the last twelve months. All
the officials are busy packing up the papers, aud
leaving clear board for the new administration.
As parts-and important parts, too-of the admin
istration, public opinion points strongly to Mr.
Golden and Mr.. Villiers. No administration will
be deemed complete in which the men of the people
are not included. The Peel government, ever since
its advent in l84l has been compelled to court popu
lar opinion, and to the necessity which Sir Robert
Peel felt of doing still more is the overthrow Of
the conservative party owing Lord John Russell
cannot forget phai he to the free trade party
nor 10 ,rhom he owes his return TO power.
The circumstances under which the Peel cabinst
has been broken up--the state, present and pros
pectiye, of the country-and also proper consIde-
ration Of the personal tranquility of the sovereign
conduce to urge the necessity of a speedy release
from the state of uncertainty in which the late min
lister has left the public affairs.
From the London Globe December II.
OF the precise result of Lord John Russell's visit
to Osborne House little nothing has yet TRANSFERRED
Various rumors of course ahoat; but knowing
that upon those points in which readers most
DESTROYS of being informed nothing at present be
known, we refrain from giving them currency. Upon
one point, we can however, speak with confidence
We have reason TO believe that Notwithstanding the
manifest difficulties which single glance assured
him must inevitably beset his path, Lord John Rus
sell obeyed the summons of her Majesty with de-
termination to allow no consideration Of merely
party nature TO interfere with limit the tender Of
his services to her Majesty and the country at the
present iuncture.
Whatever articles are now interposed in the way
of final settlement Of the corn,law question must
come from his opponents. IL the House Of Lords
should at the instigation of any portion Of the late
deemed advisable by Lord John and those who may
he prepared to act with him. the responsibility will
be cast without reserve upon the right shoulders,
This will Of course result in direct appeal to the
sense Of the country Of the result of which, can,
in the present state of affairs, have no doubt
Is il evident that all announcements of new ar
engagements must, at present, be altogether prema-
ture. There has not been moments time to com.
municate with the former probable parties to such
arrangements The crisis at which Lord John Rus
sell is called upon to act Ia of no ordinary nature;
and it it only he can fairly hope to carry the great
question, which his predecessor fairly hands to
him to carry, that he wisely determine TO act at
all.
Ifndustry and commerce have not overpowcr-
ed the mere watchwords of sham conservatism in
the breasts of all interested in industry and COM
merce as they have in the breast Of the late premier
himself-we had better the gauntlet through the
line of dukes, and make up our minds TO stimu.
latng course Of curry-powder That is our alter
native to a corn-aw-repealing government. 1t is
one that con,mends itself TO conservative interests
amongst the cutivating or commercial middle class
es.
1t deserves the attention of those middle classes
that one grand governmental experiment has been
! tried, and has proved failure. Sir Robert Peel has
tried the experiment Of making his old party strike
into new ways. Beyond limited point they refuse
to do so; and they turn round on him with some
show Of right, and much resentment Of forfeited i'm
piled pledges. They thought they hired him to
keep things in statu quo. He thought he led them
to smooth necessary transitions. His sense Of the
necessity Of those transitions has been shown by
