The last mail brought US the full lis; Of the
new English Cabinet. This is formed Of such
heterogeneous materials that we hardly think
it can hold together very long. Messrs. Glad
stone. Chamberlain and Bright, the Marquis Of
Harrington and the Duke Of Argyle must work
on such totally different liues, and must have
such very divergent views, that we doubt
whether the common boud Of party" can
keep them together. This is ever the great
stumbling block 10 the success % liberalism in
England 50 many banners wave in its ranks
that its councils are divided, aud instead Of
putting forth DISTINCT line Of policy it is con
stantly obliged 10 pu: up with patchwork leg
islation in order to please and to keep the
votes Of uuruly followers.
Mr. Gladstone. who is First Lord of the
Treasury. or Premier, and Chancellor Of the
Exchequer as well, is undoubtedly the fore
most man in England. He is gifted with
wonderful oratorical power, and his abilities
for Finance are Unrivalled. de is the only
man who ever made - budget as interesting
as poem" His age however mus. tell against
him In the ariuoUS labors he has undertaken.
However great his ability for internal admin
is.ratiou he Is utterly incapable Of formulating
q good foreign policy; IL fact, his method Of
managing foreign affairs always leads 10 war.
Lord Harrington IS i man who Is good all
round : he has set before himself the truly
patriotic ideal. He is a statesman first and u
partisan after. This gentleman ought TO have
been Prime Minister. He has been the ac-
kuowledged leader cf bis party during the
time 1t has been IN opposition, and It speaks
volumes for him that, At the moment Of sue
cess he should be willing TO accept Office IN

over the Foreign Office, has some ugly passages

former administration he vas then hood

rlents which eventually proved TO be untrue.
This especially holds good OF the Notifications

Ireland as he has done for education in the
United Kingdom he will do good service.
Passing over many names, ws come to Mr..
Chamberlain and Sir Charles Duke: the former
Is i mere office seeker and s. hobby rider 10
boot, his hobby being the exclusion OF miu0ri-
ties from representation. Sir Charles Dixie is
the author Of :" Greater Britain, work Of
very superficial character. he Is 81 extreme
radical and can be iJtle in sympathy with
many 0f his colleagues The last name We
shall notice Is that Of Nr. Brassey. This gen
