The Globe announces that Earl Russcl
had undertaken the duty of reforminl
the Government. The G}Obf says: "W,
have every reason 20 hope that he vii
be enabled to make arrangements salts
factory 10 the country"
Earl Russell had issued q summons fol
Cabinet Council at the Foreign Office
70 be held on the twenty-sixth of Octo-
Der, when all the Ministers viii be in
London. The Daily Ns1rs says il is
everywhere assumed that the admins
fration VIII undergo reconstruction only
l. the extent rendered necessary by the
appointment Of a Premier.
The Times remarks that perhaps there
never was time when auguTy was more
difficult. 4 new Parliament, cOmplica-
lions that may lead 90 war, and the sud-
den termination of an interregnum, Ss
with truth the Administration had been
called, constitute a new and inscrutible
state Of affairs. How far these may be
coming, defaults at home can only be
known at the meeting Of our new Legis-
lature
The Daily Ne7rs in alIuding to the
claims Of Mr.. Gladstone, says: ave
cannot for a moment admit that the ap-
pOintment of Earl Russell to the Premi-
ership would in the least imply "a doubt
Of the fitness ofNr. Gladstone. There IS
no Liberal Government possible without
Mr.. Gladstone, and ia any Liberal Cabi-
net Mr.. Gladstone would enjoy an au-
thority second 10 none.
There may be a question, which Of the
Earis shall lead the House Of Peers, but
1here j. no question aS to who shall lead
the House Of Commons There is no
reason why Earl Russell and Mr.. Glad
stone should not work tremendously to-
gether, the one representing the highest
authority of the Government, in the
Lords, and the other doing the Ike inthe
Commons.

the character OF Lord PGlmerst01.

Of the Confederate loan was held in Lon /
don on the eleventh, for the purpose Of I
receiving a report from the committee
anpoiuted ON the fourth of September I
last. Admiral Sir Provo Wallis Occu- /
uip8 the chair. AIr. J.. NJ. Chamberlain 1
submitted the report, which was de-
-ianed 10 inform the bondhOldcrs Of the
stems which had been taken TO place their
Interests Ou a firm and legal basis. In
the course Of long correspondence with
various uarties, the committee asrer-
tanned from Messrs. Schroeder & Co. that
the amount Of bonds in circulation at
p-,-eut was two millions four hundred
and eighteen thousand and eight hundred. /
The committee had thought u inelF duty
fo ascertain precisely the legal status Of
Tho bgndh0lders. and therefore had sub I
n1ifffd q case to Mr.. Fleming, Queens /
counsel. and a report of the United /
States as. Prioleau. Mr.. Fleming was 4
regue-ted 10 consider the rights and La I
bflitfes Of the contractors and agents Of
the board, and whether any and what I
means could be adopted to force them TO |
disclose what funds. if any, they had on
hand belonging 10 the late government, |
and 20 compel their application IN part
liquidation Of the claims OF the bond
holders,
Nr. Fleming gave long and elaborate
ouiuiou. in which he enters fully into

baf,re the contraction Of the loan, and
h. thinks not, there IS 10 ground on
which the original validity can be suc-
ces-fillv called in question: II his view
l. correct. then the Uuited States have
+ql-eD the property of the Confederate
state subject to the charge If the loan,
and thst which ha- bscysse lhe properly

ON this opinion the committee remark
that the opinion of AlT. Fleming on the
rasr le4vss uu doubt that soouercr later,
either the United States or the STATES

c1zu:ze and pay the loan. After some
