ruption. Tho Government yesterday was oyor-
ahadowed with certain defeat. Il had q following
groatly demoralixed Under tho c1poao Of Blake !;
tho sentiment Of IN outraged and indig-
naht pooplo cried out for tho erasuro
OF standing blot on tho fair famo of their
country and to all this was added the exposure
OF unoluahtng attempts at bribery which had
pcon brought under tho ooRnizauce Of tho House
ol9 1onn ana hia aaaociatoe, at tho last moment
wien tho Commons was shout to rocord it's con-
domination OF their policy, placed their roairna-
lions In the hands Of His Excol1oncy, and With

MACKENZIE AZ pnEM1Ea. "
It is understood that Maclcnz1e has accented
and is now forming Ills Cabinet, which is o1-
pcoted to bo announced in tho courao Of aay or
two. Tho country halls the announcement with
Joy. though no public demonstrations are noted.
There Is Htatod to bo a strong boud Of union e1-
listing among the followers Of Mackenzie, and it
is believed that his majority in the HouBe will be
larRe. Many former MiniBtorialists rofoioo at
their escape from the degradation Of combining
tho Governments corruption
DODGE,
who ut tho last moment came to render Buccor to
the Government, and eulogized them to tho
highest point, has added tho last stroke to his
inconsistency, inasmuch as lie vialatod his
pledges that he would not again appear in tue
House. It is particularly mentioned rs worthy
OF note that Sir Johns announcement to tho
House was received in dead silonce by tho On
poaition-an exhibitionfof moderation and SELF
control in tho moment Of victory which was
highly comnlondable.

definitely aottlod that there shall be only
four Ministers from Ontario, and it is not quite
certain that the Hon. Dorion will take Office, "a
he is spoken Of in connection with Lower Can
ada JudgeBhip.
At P. m. it was 1oarncd that Laird, OF Prince |
Edwards Island, will not have scat in tho Cabi-
net, but that Mr. Young Of Waterloo, will be
taken in. It is probable that mr. Mackenzie viii I
not take department, but will be President Of
