The British Cabinet.

The cabinet is one Of the most curious as
1t is one Of the most importaA Of British in
stltutions. II Is unknown to the law its
members are never officially announced :;
its existence has never been recognized hy
act Of parliament and no record il kept Of
its meetings and resolutions. The execu-
tive government OF Great Britain and Ire
land, saws Mr.. Martin, ais vested nominally
in the crown, but practically in committee
Of parliament commonly called the cabinet,
which has come to absorb the functions OF
the ancient and still e4tant privy countil, or
the king in council the members of which,
bearing the title Of right honorable, are
sworn TO advise the king according to the
best Of their cunning and discretion and to
he lp and strengthen the execution of what
shall be resolved Though not named in
any formal legislative way. the cabinet is
virtually appointed by parliament and espec-
tally by the house Of commons, its existence
being dependent on the possession of ma
jority in the latter assembly.
The member OF the cabinet who fills the 20.
stion of first lord of the treasury commits
sion, which has supplanted the old lord high
treasurer, is the chief Of the ministry, and
therefore Of the cabinet. 1t is on his recon-
mendation that his colleagues are appointed !;
and he dispenses, with hardly an exception.
the patronage Of the crown" Nine men,
bers Of the administration are now usually
included in the cabinet, the first lord Of the
treasury, the lord chsncellor, the lord presi-
dent Of the council, the chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, and the FIVE secretaries Of state.
To these. according to another authorty,
should be, and according to practice often
10, added the lord privy seal From among
the other ministerial functionaries q VARYING
number are chosen to be admitted to seats
in the cabinet-sometimes two or three,
sometimes six or eight-the premier's choice
being guided by their rank. talents, .eputa-
ton, and political Importance. 1t sometimes
happens, however, that a member of the
cabinet sits without Office this occurs in
the case Of some statesman Of high influence
and character whose advise and the weight
Of whose name are required, but who is
sSerse 10 undertaking the responsibilities
and labors of any particular Office. Up 10
the time Of the first Lord Ellenborough the
chief justice Of England was among the ofic-
ials who commonly held seats in the cabinet.
The first Gladstone cabinet contained no
fswer than Is members. Mr. Gladstone
holding two Offices; there we're but IS in the
administration which has just gone out. 1t
ID, however, worth mention that hardly any
two English books of reference ever agree
A. to what ministers have or have not seats
in the cabinet. Thus the "Statesmen's Year
Book" for 1874 included the president Of the
board of trade in the cabinet, though Whit
aker" Of tie same year declares be is not
entitled to seat; the "year book" for 1880
gives Is members, and the "Pariansntary
Companion" and Financial Reform Alma
