Government and designations, more especial
Iy in the Queens household, are daily talked
about. But, singular enough, these concien-
tIous scruples are confned to The suhordicates,
and have not yet reached the great servants
of the Crown. The Cabinet remains as ap-
parently united as if they had been expressly
Installed in power to carry out the free-trade
theories OF Golden and his allies. Amongst
the designations of members of Parliament
may be mentioned that Of Lord Ashley, who
rep esents Dursat. His 10 dship has resigned

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
In the House of Commons on the first night
Of the session, the ministerial and the opposi-
ton leaders both volunteered explanations on
the circumstances which led to the late minis .
tcral cIlsls. These explanations now belong
to history. Their interest is merged IN the still
greater plans Tor the future which the financial
scheme Of the Premier has developed. The
personal feelings and ieaousies of public men
are only interesting to the world in proportion
as they bear upon and influence the great ques-
tiGns in which the world takes an interest
Enough remains to show that the present Ca
bIuet, before lis dissolution, was the scene oF
very protraCted, and it would appear not very
amlcabe controversy on the great topic OF the
peoples food. The result sent poor Lord
Wharnclfe to his last account, and Lord
Stanley TO the opposition benches. Having
been thus purged OF the irritation, the remain
ing component parts of the Cabinet united a.
gain as cordially as if nothing had occurred 10
mar their harmony.
! Peel, it would seem, supported, by two or
three ofhs colleagues, wished to open the ports
for the admiss on of Corn, duty free, when the
potatoo disease became alarming. The majo-
rIty Of the Cabinet opposed his views, and find
ing their differences only wIdened by discus
sion, they went in a body to the Isle OF Wight,
where the Queen was then staying, and placed
their resignation in her hands. The subsequent
results are patent to the world Lord John
Russell was confided the task of forming Ca
bnet, which broke dowa through the differ
ence between Lords Gray and PalmeIston.-
Oar Republican readers who take an interest
in the style of communication between the So
vereign and her advisers for tho time being,
will peruse the notes, which the present and
I the eXpectant Premier addressed to her Majes-
ty during the ministerial nterregnum. Tne
grammatical construction of the notes has un-
deTgone much torture by the Sun reporters OF
the rival statesmen in the press.
. Sir Robert Peel was lever very happy in his
Gpistolary correspondence; and the notes of
Lord John Russell are nothing but palpabe
specimens of medocrty. Both statesmen, in
their way, able and polished men, but
when ingenuity puts itself on the track to "pck
hole" in the syntax of those who rule en-
pires, the attempt, prompted by the high lite
rary talent which the English press exhibits, IS
certainly not unsuccessful. lfgreatness has It's
sweets. it has also its acidity; and amongst the
penalties which public men pay for popularity,
not the least annoying is the dissection which
the ana tomists Of the ''fourth estate" applying
to all whom they love not: the higher the
game, the more earnestly is the labor of love
performed.
On the first night of the session, the interest
centred in the Ministerial explanations. These
explanations were principally confined TO the
popular branch of the legislature, for the theme
was evidently dstasteful to the scceder, Lord
Stanley. On a subsequent night however, the
Duke Of Richmond called upon the Duke of
Wellington to supply his version, and he pre-
faced the request by asking whether the hero
of hundred fig is had received her Majesty's
permission to do SO. The Duke, with the
frankness and promptness which mark his con-
duct, Immediately launched into history OF
the affair. 1t was very different story from
that of his oily and ppearance-loving colleague
at the head of the government. The Cabinet
differed about the Corn Laws, and resigned
The Duke disked the repeal of these laws,
but he disliked difference in the Cabinet more.
To preserve unanimity of opinion he was rea-
dy to sacrifice any law-to give up any pet
scheme.
Accordingly, when the Wings, through dv-
ded councils, broke down, Sir Rob't Peel wrote
to the Duke, who was in the country at the
time, telling him that he would meet Parla-
ment alone if necessary and propose reDeal |
