The Difficulties That Surround His
Great Victory Uncertainties OF the
Eastern Question.
LONDON, April 24,-During the past
week the attention Of all England has
been centered in Windsor, and news
from there has been awaited with the
most intense interest. The journeyings
to and fro Of the outgoing and incoming
Ministers have been the sole topic OF dis
cussion and speculation among all classes.
When in the early part Of the week the
Earl OF Beaconsfeld left for the castle, it
was known, Of course, to every one that
his visit was for the purpose of rendering
his resignation, and when on Thursday
last Lord Harrington took the train for the
Royal residence, In obedience " the COM
mand OF Her Majesty, 1t was equally well
known that the formation OF the new
Cabinet was to be the subject OF Consulta-
tation.
In regard to the carriage incident, as 1t
is called, no explanation has been given.
It Is possible that in the exchange of tele-
grams and the starting OF trains, q misun:
derstanding arose as TO the exact hour OF
the arrival Of the distinguished statesman,
WHO was summoned TO form the new Min
istry, and the discourtesy shown him was
therefore unintentional. But the question
is asked, "How was 1t that on his depar.
ture from Windsor he was again compelled
TO walk to the station2"
Lord Harrington was the guest OF her
Majesty, aud in the present excited con-
dition OF the public mind 1t can hardly be
wondered at that the people will read be-
tween the lines.
When Mr., Gladstone stepped from the
cars at Windsor Station last evening, he
was more fortunate, for he found one Of
the royal coaches waiting TO receive him.
At the audience which followed, he &C.
cepted the Premiership. The event Is to-
day discussed by all the leading journals.
The Times says: eat Gladstone's age he
would hardly have chosen TO combine two
such arduous offices as those OF Prime
Minister and Chancellor OF the Exchequer
without the hope OF being ablete render
the country services in each capacity"
The Spectator strongly deprecates the at
tempts Of many Tory journals, and some
Liberal, to bring the Queens name into
discussion on the Premiership. 1t expects
from 6ladstone's government a policy oil
sober practical reform, such as will pre-
sent the greatest contrast by It's plainness,
industry and justice, to the policy OF the
Administration which the country has
Just consigned TO the limbo OF political
failures.
The composition Of the new Cabinet Of
course oyefshadows in political way all
other questions. Athalfpast to-day Mr..
Gladstone, Earl OF Harrington and the
Right Hon. VIM. P. Adams were 10 con
suitation at Mr.. Gla1stone's house, but
nothing will probably be known in regard
10 the composition Of the new Cabinet
until Monday, exceptthAt Lord Selbourne
will be Lord High Chancellor.
Inau article on the subject, the Standard
advances the opinion that Lord Granville
1 will be Foreign Minister, and that he,
with Lord Harrington, will select the
balance oft Ministry. Mr.. Gladstone Ii
uRderstood TO entertain some very ex'
trayaVant ideas in an international point
Of view, and his selection as the head o.
the Cabinet Is exceedingly satisfactory tC
the Conservatives. They profess to re
gard his appointment as ominous OF theil
, return TO power. His well known idea
on the subject Of the unity Of his Cabine
