San—As it is more than probable that the Derby Administration will shortly terminate its labours, I send you a programme of a Government which would give confidence to the Liberal party of this country. It con- tains the names of some of the ablest chiefs of the "Whig school," with the addition of those who are distinguished by the title of" advanced Libe- rals," and the followers of the "Peel policy." Some variation from the present list of Ministers and officials may be made, but the majority of the names mentioned in the enclosed programme, will, I believe, be included in the next Liberal Administration. Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Vernon Smith, Sir Charles Wood, and Sir Benjamin Hall, in consideration of their long public services and princely fortunes, will probably be elevated to the Peeraze—Lords Stratford de Redcliffe, Napier, Wodehouse, and Earl Spen- cer will be reserved probably for Diplomatic offices abroad. The admission of Lord Elgin to the Government will be a tower of strength to the Liberal Party; and equally satisfactory to the people of the Worth will be the intro- duotion of Mr. Cobden into the Cabinet. I recall the language of the great Sir R. Peel, who declared "that Richard Cobden had conferred more comforts and blessings on the working classes of this country than any Minister of past or present times."

[We much doubt whether some few of these appointments will be made; whether one or two of the statesmen would accept the post proposed. Fula- noting as the list does, however, from a tried, hearty, and mush esteemed Liberal, it helps to illustrate the state of feeling in the country.]
