We have reason to believe that the official arrangements announced
last week by the Ministerial papers, "upon authority," as having then been fully determined on, have encountered consider:lilt, di llienities and undergone some material alterations. Sir George Grey It we understand. refused the seat in the Cabinet which was offered him ; but we are not able to say whether this refusal hats arisen from the convic- tion of Sir George they that the office of Judge- Advocate is one which ought not to be held by a Cabinet Mitlister, or from an apprehension on his part that the less intimate his connexion with the present Go- vernment tine more likely it is to conduce to his own lasting honour and advantage. To the appointment. of Mr. R. Gordon to the Treasury, sonic of the Lords, we are told, manifested an insuperable objection. It is said that matters which, a day or two ago, were very crooked in- deed, have been put straight again by giving 31r. Cordon the office of Secretary at War without a seat in the Cabinet.—.31oraing Post.
