TIE NEW CABINET.


From The London Tina, June II.
What must first strike everybody upon running over
the pames Of the Cabinet 49, tnat 1t viii % at least
more efficient administration than the last or lts pre-
decessor With bare majority, and not very united
party Lord PameTston is uncer the necessity OF con
structIg government that shall be strong IN ITSELF
An army may be good on parade and may even DO
wei in friendly country and yet fail when II has To
fight all the world. TIE government will have to
sand on its own erts and defy not oUly open hostility,
bnt caudor vaOiilatOn, indifference and desertion.
Lord PalmeTson has had to go out OF the od circle and
the haid.beaten ground in which power has 20 long
moved lie had to negotiate at every step aud to win
allies when possibly he would have consulted his own
genial temper by choosing friends lie had to make
treaty. with Lord John Russell 1t is the law OF seltpre-
seryation that compelled him to invite Mr. Gladstone
Itrd Campbell II is avowed must be Cord Chancellor,
beoause Sir X. Bethel srequred on the Commons; Sr
c. Wood is able and hardworking man, ana nus
last administration of the India Board was the most
successful episode of his career. Sir e. I. Lewis II
not persuasivc is quite able TO concuct our domestic
legislation, aud to keep the country IN ts pfeSeh'
deaceahe state. Tie Duke OF Somerset Is san To be
remark able administrator, and for that reason is put
in the Admiralty. Mr.. 5. Herbert Is industrious ana
most agreeable Speaker. lie Is to be W ar Minister
and we most heartily hope viii not have to 90 more IN
his department than TO carry into effect the saniay
reforms 10 which he has long devoted his aten'yn
The Duke Of Newcastle is n man Of high chara ger
and roepectable ability he has already had the Colo
rics s,a las done the wok well. Lord Granville
thouph not Premier viii be as good Presdort oi
tie Pivy Council as any before them Lord ESin Is
almost too Great man to be put into the Po't once
The Duke of Argyll brings D1kedom, great powers
of debate and many frieIds Mr.. Golden, should he
accent The office marked for bin, is the very hero and
Hberaor Of trade. Mr. NJ. Gibson, who has destroyed
80 many Ministries, viii perhaps endeaVol 10 nautah
that with which nc is himself connected sf' I. GIe!
after many wears service in the most liboIous oces
cor tents himself with sinecure. We could nave
wished a more appropriate close To long onGldi
career. Would not pension have oeen PreleIps3nlT
MIR Carlwen shows his industry IA taking IuOlc
Monks and has only to follow the example oil sir H.
Hall who we told, is to be raised to the Peerase.
These make up the Cabinet. SIR a. Cockourn is 10
