Lonix.v. Aug. . ? There is something theatrical in
th. Cabinet cli.ingcs. hut they have a aenoub mean
InK and a weriotiB pui_>ose, which, 60 far as an ont
?ider can kuow them. I will try to state. All thfl in
fliient'i'fl vthich ha\e conspired to brinir about so
_uriou_ a trau.-fonuation can only bc known to Mr.
Oladj-tone. Otkm* are known only inside the Cabi
B?et. which haa the greateat possible interest in

_remarke.itl.at the assumption of kuowing what
Roemou in th. Cabinet, though Bometimes ostentn

Lord KipoTi, who wa.. Prcsideut of the Count il.
gomoiit, und the public is iavited to believe that
wery lugeut private affairs have india eii him to re

Buau vthtMte place waa wauted, and who could le

the " runartt-t" mau in the Cabinet after Mr. Glad
stone, hut from a variety of roaaonfl baa tacu the
worst Cbaucellor of the Exi heqner within tho rocm

Mr. Brigbt BOTOI bad. or prefciidcd to have, any
considerable talent in fld-BBBBOr-Bf ? ilepartineut,
and the department which he now takes is a sine
(iirc. The two hodies who have hflOBghtdefeat on
tbe Miuistry in so many borougha an.l countns are
tbe Nonconfonnisfla and tbe UoBBSad Victuallers.
Mr. Bright iaa Noncouformist. but not a leader of
the party, and he waa a member of the Government
which frauied and still BBBflflfl by the 'J5tb clause of
the Education act. the grcatest of Nonconformist
jrrievaiKB-s. Il<- has since denoiinced it, but in return
ingto the Ministry he binds himself to Hiipfiort it till
thev abatidon it, and they have not ___-BOBfld it
yet. His inliuenee will he ajrainst it in the Cabinct.
but hia recall gives tbe Nonconfonniats uo flflOBBBBBfl
tbat their deniand for its repeal, which was denied
this laat aeaeion, is to be granted in tht-next. Mill
less can Mr. Brinbta name be supposed to have been
huiiK out aa a flag to the LtOflBOfll Victuallers.
The real gain to the Government from Mr. Bright's
accesaion lies in the general faith the country bu? iu
his good aenae, chaiacler. souud poliii.-al judgment.
and conacrvative instiircts. That first, ond next,
his ability to Biipply what Mr. Gladstone want*>?a
knowledge of men and of public opiniou. Mr.
Bright knows what the country will stand and what
it will not. Had he been m tho Ministry, we should
have aaOfffll wbat are called tbe ecandals of the
BflB?OB, and it Ifl probable that that uuhapp. li iflfe
Cnivereity bill might ha\c BBBfl stiangled l>efore it
waa born. Few inen understaiid England aoavell.
Possibly Mr. (iladitone thinka Mr. Bnght's force ia
still with tbe Ha.li. aln, aud BflBflflBlad to him in tbat
V)cw. No matter. He will not get what he hoped.
but he will get aomcthing worth, juat at
this moment, aa much. The Noucouformiats
have proved that they are daugeroua

of tbe Libcrafparty their elaims must be allowed.
But tbe most iirgent need oi the (jfiveriiineut at this
