CHARACTER OF THE NEW MINISTRY.
The London GDbe says IL is not in position 10 state
the precise character OF the ministerial arrangements,
but that obstacles prevail In regard them that
satisfactory formation Of the ministry is expected.

little change possible will be made at least before the
meeting OF Parliament
in forming ministry coalition between the different
sections OF the liberals will become necessary, and that
Lord Granville will probably be the person under whom
the greatest number of men will serve.

that the administration will undergo reconstruction only
to the extent rendered necessary by the appointment OF
a Premier

time when augury was more difficult new Parliament
