The Few Cabinet is complete; and only few sub.
ordinate places in the Ministry remain 10 be filled up.
Lord Palmerston's constituents having very properly
dispensed with his appearance on the Hastings at
TivertoD he can proceed to business At once. His
Government will be judged Of by its works the peo-
pie will wait 10 what it does before giving or
Withholding their confidence. Lord Palmerston,
however may rest assured that il he pursue the
bold and honorable which is required to re-
place this country on the eninence from which the
COW srdce and imbecility Of the Prime Minister who
preceded him appears temporarily to have depressed
it, the people will support him.

but that it does not take US by surprise. II is ex-
