LONDON, Aug. 12.-The members Of the
Cabinet met at noon to-day aud formally
agreed to resign. Most of the Ministers will
leave town to-day.
All O'Clock this afternoon Lord Salisbury
left on a special train for Portsmouth.
whence he will embark for the Isle Of
Wight. His destination is Osborne House,
where he will tender to the Queen his reslg
nation Of the Conservative Ministry.
Gladstone will 60 to Osborne House Mon
day with a complete list of the next Cabinet
to submit to the Queen; but, in pursuance
of constitutional usage, be maintains abso-
Lutte silence on the proposed appointments.
II is impossible to conceal the fact that ar
rangements have been made for Sir William
Vernon Harcourt as Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, and for John Morley as Secretary
for Ireland; but Gladstone's intentions re-
garding the other Ministers are not known,
even TO some Of the definitely appointed
members of his Ministry. Being punctil-
ious observer of official precedents. he
will not formally offer place to any one
until be actually receives the Queens com-
mands TO form Ministry.
Among the most striking reports that are
finding eredence in official legal quarters,
one is TO the effect that Lord Herschell will
become GoYernOT-Ge eral of India. that
1oTO OnleI justice COleTlugo VIII become
Lord Chancellor, and Sir Charles Russell
will become Lord Chief Justice. Lord Her
schel's transference will cause shudder
of apprehension throughout the country in
view Of the critical position OF Indian Rus
sian relations. Until Tuesday, when Glad
stone returns from Osborne House, the ex-
act composition of the Cabinet will remain
unknown.
1t is known in court circles that il was
the fear regarding the personnel OF the
Gladstone Ministry that mainly induced the
Queen to consult the Duke of Devonshire
during his visit 10 Osborne House. as to
whether it was possible for him 10 unite
with Gladstone and sweeten the Liberal
Ministry By taking Office himself. Another
source Of tie Queens disquietude is the
change Ia the royal household appoint
ments that will be inevitable on Gladstone's
accession to power Gladstone will find it
exceedingly difficult to get personages agree
able to the Queen to I'LL the great court
Offices.
The House of Commons will resume busl-
ness on Thursday next, mainly to issue
writs for the reelection OF the Ministers.
The propagation of Parliament is expected
10 take place on August %
The arrangements for the meeting of the
international monetary conference are pro-
crossing. Mr. Currie Of the banking firm Of
Glynn, Currie & Co. is the strongest man
appOinte by the English. he has no ton-
dency whatever toward bimetalsm. On
the contrary he is sound for single stand
ard. His influence will overrnle any inclina-
tion Of his cO-delegates toward an arrange
meDt satisfying Americans. OF the other
delegates Sir c. w. FremantIe is a mono
metallist, Sir W. II. HOulds worth and Gen
eral Str&ehey are bimetalli>ts, aud Mr.. MuT-
ray. wbo is a treasury clark, is neutral. The
members of the conference will have a
pleasant time in Dresden. but they viii
