Lord Palmerston was buried in state at
Westminster Abbey on the Goth. The Queen,
Cabinet, Parliament, and the diplomatic bod

proceedings passed off satisfactorily.
The Times accepts the reconstructed Cabi-
net as a neeessity, and says it has some genius

many members Of the Ministry are Peers. 1t

Cabinet, the leading member of which is
pledged by his presidents, and one great pur-
pose Of his life, to reform. aao
The Advertiser thinks Earl RusselPs minis

THE FRANKFORT QUESTION
The Senate has addressed an identical note
to the great German powers theoretically re-
iecting the demand upon it. The Senate cites
the Federal Constitution, which allows no

trarily to interfere with the sovereign rights of
