The new Tory Government is now complete, and besides the

appointments which we mentioned last week, Sir Richard Cross and Sir Frederick Stanley, who are both to have peerages, are to hold respectively the offices of Secretary of State for India and President of the Board of Trade ; while Mr. Stanhope is, as we supposed, to become Colonial Secretary. Earl Cadogan is to be Lord Privy Seal, without a seat in the Cabinet, and Mr. Ritchie (also without a seat in the Cabinet) is to be President,...- of the Local Government B mird, an office declined

Chaplin. Mr. W. L. Jackson returns to his old plac .

mentary Secretary to the Treasury. Sir John instead of resuming his former place as Solicitor-General, is to be Under- Secretary for India, with charge of that department in the House of Commons ; while Mr. Edward Clarke becomes Solicitor- General. Sir James Fergusson is to be Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Lord Danraven Under-Secretary for the Colonies, and Mr. Stuart-Wortley Under-Secretary for the Home Department. Baron de Worms is to be Secretary to the Board of Trade; Mr. St. John Brodrick,—whose accession to office we heartily approve, for he is one of the most rational and liberal-minded of the Conservatives,—becomes Surveyor. General of the Ordnance ; Mr. Marriott returns to his old office of Judge-Advocate-General; and Mr. J. H. A. Macdonald becomes Lord-Advocate.
