But though the Standard is now disposed to tolerate yet a few weeks the Duke of WELLINGTON as Premier, it Still contends that its favourite the Duke of RICHMOND is more eligible as a Minister. Talent, our contemporary alleges, IS quite a superfluous endowment in a member of the Cabinet—love of the constitution is all in all. Love of the constitution will, it' seems, supply arty deficiencies in the revenue, and prevent the poor from sinking under their contributions to it. Love of the constitution will reconcile conflicting interests, and cover more sins than charity ever did. Mr. FITZGERALD'S health will, it is understood, force him to retire; and the change which becomes necessary may perhaps have given rise to all the rumours of the last ten days. Complete changes are quite as easily reported as partial ones, and they produce a much greater effect upon a certain portion of the public.
