flt BEAC0NSEIELD D0WNHEARTED.
LONDON, April 4.-Lord Beaconsfeld and
other prominent officers of the government re-
turned to London yesterday, and naturally are
very much detected over the defeat they have
sustained in all parts of the kingdom. 1t is
reported that Beaconsfeld will resign before
the opening of parliament. He is very down.
hearted at the unexpected turn of affairs, and
refuses to see anybody except his most intimate
personal friends. Minor officials of the gov
ernment, acting under the direction of Bea-
consfeld and the other leaders now here, are
to-day Overhauling the records of the various
departments and vigorous search is in pro.
gress for such political documents as it is un-
desirable the incoming ministry should see Or
handle.
MINISTERIAL sPECULATIoNs.
LONDON, April 4.-The Observer of this morn
ing says: We understand there will be no de-
cision whether the government shall resign at
once or await an adverse vote IF the liberal
majority is ascertained. After the result of
the polling on Friday became known q special
messenger was sent to Baden Baden with dis
patches for the queen. We have reason to be-
lieve that Gladstone disapproves of the ar
rangement suggested in various quarters that
he accept subordinate Office IN the new admin
istration. he still adheres to his in
tenlon OF not resuming Office, but will
cordially support the recognized liberal leaders,
Earl Granville and the Marquis of Harrington.
The reports current about the composition of
the new ministry are obviously premature, as
there has been no consultation between the
liberal leaders on the subject: We mention
| the following reasons as possessing certain
amount of probability, although relying as yet
on no basis of ascertained fact. It is said the
Earl of Derby will be offered the foreign Office.
IA - =
assigned to Lord Kimberley. w. E. Forster
will be minister of colonies; Gospen, chancellor
of the exchequer; Lord Cardwell. secretary of
war; Mr.. Childers, first lord of the admiralty
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Sir Charles
Dixie and MIR. Fawcett as representatives of
the advanced section of the party will occupy
| seats in the new cabinet. Lord Roseberry II
may also be taken for granted will hold an
important position in the, liberal admlnistra-
tion.
