Grey, JULY 29, 1880 tell Noah I 3 sa t B gm is It was formerly the custom for the King to preside at meetings of the Cabinet Counâ€" cil. William and Anne were always presâ€" ent at the weekly meetings of the Cabinet; but the inability of Geotge I. to converse in English compelled liis absence from the deliberations of the Ministry, and sinto bis time no member of the Royal Family has On the resignation ofa Ministry, it is customary for the retiring Premisr to adâ€" vise the Sovereigr whom to "send for," with a view to his being "commanded" to form a new Minisiry. As soon as this statesman has completed his task; & meet: ing of the Privy Council is specially conâ€" vened,and at this Couxtil the several memâ€" bers of the Cabinét were forthally appoinâ€" ted by the Sovereign, to Whom they are introduced by the Prime Ministet, and from whoni they retaive the geat and syinbols of the offices they are &bout to fill. This is the only otcasion during their taÂ¥m of of: fice on whith they appelit as a body in the presence of the Soversign. ‘ Thers i& ho rule as to how many niiniâ€" sters shall form the Cabinet, or what shall be the relative proportion of Peers and Commoners. In 1783 Pitt‘s Cabinet consisâ€" ted of himself and seven Peers, UOne Caâ€" binet consisted of seventeen members, anâ€" other of eleven ; but the more usual numâ€" ber is either thirteen or fifteer, It is a remarkable cireumstance that a body so nugust as the Cabinet should be unknown to the laws. Its members are the Constitutional advisers of the Soverâ€" eign, and yet their appointinent is not proâ€" vided for by any Act of Parliament. ‘They speak of themselves, and are generally reâ€" gardel, as "Her Majesty‘s Ministers," but in Â¥sality they represent the @e€lared will of the constituencies, and hold office only so long as they command the confidence of the House of Commots. ‘The whoive of Ministers is the prerogative of tite Crown, but practically that choice is limited to the selection of a Prime Minister, who has al ready been "notingted" by. the voice of his party, and he selects his colléigues acâ€" cording to the political exigencies of the time. The body thus constituted comes into existence without any official proclum-] ation of the fact. Such of its menibers as had not before been admitted into the ranks of Her Majesty‘s Privy Councillors, are: forthwith summoned to the Council ; and the fact of their being "sworn" is formally announced in the London Gazette, but their appointment as members of ths Cabiâ€" net is neyer thus made known to the world. i For a short period the principal offices of State were distributed with strange imparâ€" tiality between the two political parties; but this unnatural yoking together of opposites served only to distract both King and Parliaâ€" | ment; and to put an end to the cross coun: sels and diverse action which it produced ; the offices held by Tories in 1698â€"98 were almost all transferred to the Whigs. The elcction of 1698 gave the whigs a decided majority in the House of Commons ; a Ministry was formed entirely of statesmen belonging to the victorious party, and thus the Ministerial form of Government familâ€" inr' to modern times was then finally adopâ€" ted. * While this instrument for the adminisâ€" tration of the business of the State was beâ€" ing fashioned, the two great political parâ€" tics through whose rivalries and conflicts Parlinment was destined to exercise conâ€" ; trol over the Exceative, were gradually asâ€" suming distinctive shape and name. The battle of "Prerogative," which began in I‘the reign of Elizabeth, and continued on ’ through the reigns of James T. and Charles I., led to the formation of a "Country" parâ€" ty, as opposed to a "Court" party : and the ! contest upon the "Exclusion Bill," which took place in 1679â€"80, gave rise to the well ; known names of Whig and Tory, The ' Duke of York‘s supporters were nicknamed Tories, after a gang of Irish Roman Cothoâ€" ‘ lig freebooters ; while the "Country" party were christened Whigs, either from a Seutch word, signifying "sour whey," or from the name of a band of Scottish Covenâ€" anters Who mKds a weseent upon Edinâ€" burgh in 1648. i Cha:les‘ Cabinet was composed of five unprincipled politicians, ffom the initials of whose names (Clifford, Ashley, Bucking: “hum, Arlington and Lauderdale) it was called the "Cabal ;" but its feebleness was so conspicuous that it quickly fell into disâ€" repute, and an attempt was tiade to te:inâ€" state the Privy Council in the position it had formerly oceupi¢d, it was found, however, that the delibetations of so large a body were not conducive to secreey, or to the despatch of business; and recourse was therefore had onee more to that smaller "Committee of Council," or Cabinet, which has ever since directed the Government of the country. One of the things not generally known is that we owe to one of England‘s feeblest Bovereigns one of the rost important and valuable of our political institutions. It ‘ was Charles II.‘s hatred of "dry business" that led to the creation of & Cabinet Minisâ€" try. The long sittings and dreary debates of the Privy Council were simply intoleraâ€" ble to His Majestyâ€"even Wwhen, as Macauâ€" ly alleges, Buckingham was present to amiise liis master by making faces at the Chancelior. He; therefore, gradually abâ€" stained from calliog the whole Council to: gether, and chose insteid to act with the advice of a seletct boily of counsellors, which received the title of the "Cabinet Council." * "Her Majesty‘s Ministers." _ The dual responsibility of Ministersâ€" i their responsibility to both Crown and Parâ€" liamentâ€"requires that they should have seats in the. Legislature. . Those niembers â€"of the Government who are Peers occupy the front bench on the right of the Wool: When the Minister Fequires the Royal signmanual to any important document he must make personal application for it at a formal "audierce" of the Queen; but pa pers of an ofdinary charatter, Fequiring the Royal signature, ate allowed to be Sent to Her Majesty in a departmental despatelâ€" box, along with other official documents. All papers signed by the Sovereign require the cotinter signature of a Secretary of State to give them validity. It is under this iniportant safeguard that the patronage of the Crown is #dntinistéred,. and every official set of the Crown is performed. It being a maxim of the English Constitution that "the King can do no wrong," the perâ€" sodtal immunity of the Sovercign is by this means setured; and a responsible adviser for every act of the Crown is ptovidod.whoj must be prepared to answer for what the Crown has done. | Dovereign in epistolary communications is very peculiar, the established etiquette beâ€" ing for the Minister to use the Hhird person when speaking of himself and the second person when addressing she Sovereign. Why and when this forn} was first introâ€" duced is not known. Grenville‘s letters to His Majesty Gsorge III:; are in the ordinâ€" ary form, but twenty years later we fnd Mr. Fox employing the formâ€""Mr. Fox has the honor of traismiliing to your Maâ€" jesty the Minute of a Cabinet Council," &ec. &e. Readets of the "Lifé of the Prince Consort" will have observed that ho form adopted by Ministers during the present reign isâ€"*"Lord * * * presents bis hum ble duty to your Maiusty, and begs." &c. _ Accotding to thodern usage, only one ! kind of document is ever brought before | tlte Cabinet to receive the signatures of all its members, viz; & "Order in Conneil," which constitutes a Declaration of War. In mirto® affairs Ministers have a separate discretion in their several departments, but in all matlers involving "the policy of the Government" the judg#gnt of the Cabinet Collectively mitt8t 16 taken. In actordante with this prineiple it is required that copies of all despatches received by a Sccretary of State shall be forwarded first to the Prime Minister, then to the Sovereign, and afterâ€" ward, if they are important, to every other member of the Cabinat. This rule also apâ€" plies to the "drafts" of replies proposed to be sent to such despatehes. These *copies‘ and ‘draft replies‘ are cireulated amons the members of the Cabinet by means of "Caâ€" binet Despatch boxes," to which every Caâ€" binet Minister posse®es a master key. 1 To insure due observance of the rule that the Crown shall be donsulted upon all matâ€". tors of State, provision is made for the regâ€". ular trairsmission to the Quéan of ¢very | despatch, report; or paper which it is ma-i terial for the Sovereign to inspect. â€" These documents are sent to Hét Majesty cither throttgh the Priitre Minister, or direct frow thi office of the Secretary of State. The mode in which the Ministers address the Sovereian in evistolary mammmnincatians Is ‘ Whatever differences of opinion may have Leen manifested during the discusâ€" sions ot the Council, whoen a yote is once taken all the Ministers become equally reâ€" sponsible for the decision arrived at, and arg equally bound to support and defend it, unless the decision be ong_in which any member cannot conscientionsly_coincideâ€" in which case ho places his resig rétion im e nands of the rremier, the Cabinet. | _ Meetings of the Cabinet are usually conâ€" + | vened by sum:monses formilly addressed | | by order of the Premier to "Her Majesty‘s | Confidential Advisers :" but any member | of the Cabinet has a right to call his colâ€" | lengues together. ‘They ate generally held | at the Foreign Office or at the Primé Minâ€" ister‘s official residence ; but they may be held whereyer Ministers can be most conâ€" veniently got together. ‘There is no fiked "‘quoram," nor is any President formally appointed. The Cabinet Council has no Secretaty;, and fio official record whatever is kept of its proccedings: even a private record of what passed would be Consideredl a breach of Ministerial confidence. Hence, no member of the Cabinet, not even the‘ Prime Minister, is at liberty to make any revelations of its proceedings without havâ€" ing first oObtained the Sovereign‘s permisâ€" sion to do so. It is; of course, necessary | for the head of the State to be kept informâ€" ; ed of what matters have engaged the at« tention of the Cabinet; and for this pur-l pose & "Ministerial Memorandum," first adopted by Sir Robert Peel, is prepared by | the Prime Minister for the Queen‘s use ; but after any important Cabinet Council he usually seeks an "Audience" of her Majesâ€" | ty, and gives an oral communication of the ‘ ’decisions that have been arrived at. In: relation to the Sovereign; tlie Cabinet is an ‘ indivisible and absolute tinity, and thereâ€" | fore the Upinions of individual menibers are not reported to the Crown:. When it is no: cessary to put ariy question to the tole a majority decides ; but it is arule of Cabinet Councils, and of all meetings of Committee of Council alike, that "no man shall make publication of how the minority voted."

The arguments were irresistible, and the Government accepts the motion.

When Mr; Gladâ€" stone intends to accept & resolution or an amendment proposed by a supporter he frankly lets hini know before it is brought in. Lord Benconsfield knows human naâ€" tur6 betterâ€"or thinks so. "Shall 1 write and tell him that you accept his amendâ€" ment?" his private secretéry asked him, then a commoner, when he had expressed an opinion that it must be adopted. "By no means," was the reply of the then Pre: mier, â€" "Tell him that I have been greatly interested in his letter on the subject which he is about to briug betore the House, and that I shall listen with contern to the arguments which he will adduce in his speech to support his cause."

In that year, however, and again im 1874, the ; Ministry of the day resigned their appointâ€" ments as soon as the result of the General l Elections became known. ‘The precedent l thus estailished has been followed by Lord Beaconsfeld‘s Ministry within the last few ’ weeks. When Ministers are about to reâ€" sign, their intention to do so is tmade know n to the Sovereign by the Premier, but they | continwe to hold office and transact the usâ€" l ual routine business of their Departments until their successors are appointed. As soon as the composition of the new Cabinet is completed; the Sovercign fixes a day on which she will give audience to the memâ€" bers of the outgoing Ministry, to receive from them their insignia of office, Un the same day, almost immediately after they have left the Royal presence, the new Preâ€" mier and his chosen collengues are introâ€" duced, and havé handed to them the seals and symbols just 1oft by their predecessors. In this way the government of the tountry is carried on in almost unbroken continuâ€" ity, â€" f | The heads of other Departmients of Govâ€" ernment are sometimes placed in the Cabiâ€" net, according to the personal views of the Premier as to the importance of the offices they fill or as to the value of their individ: ual ¢ounsel and influence in political afâ€" fairs, There are usually two PDarliamentâ€" ary chiefs of the principal Departments of State; one in ea¢h House, to represent the Department to wlich he belongs; to dofond its policy, and to answer any questions which may arise in relation to it. ing :â€"â€"The first Lord of the Treasury, tho Lord Chancellor, the Chancellor of the Exâ€" chequer, the Secretarty for Home Affairs, the Sceretary for Foreign Affairs, the Secretary for Colonial Affairs, the Secretary for Indian Affaivs; the Becretary for War, the President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, and the First Lord of the Adâ€" miralty. At one time the Archbishop of Canter: bury, the Lord Chief Justice, the Master of the Mint, and the Commander inâ€"Chief were entitled to places :1 the Cabinet, but they have not been included in the Minisâ€" tries of modern times. ‘The Ministers Wwho are now generally regarded as indlspensaâ€" ble members of the Cabinet are the follow: In the Houss of Commons, Her Majes: ty‘s Ministers are, "by courtesy" and long nsagd, allowed undisputed possession of the front seat at the right of the Speaker ; this seat is commionly spoken of as the "Treasury Bencb." The only occasion on which any other members of the House claim to sit on that bench is at the opening of a new Parliament, when the four tmemâ€" ber‘s for the city of London assert, and gen« erally exercise, their "ancient right" to take precedence of even the Ministers of the Crown. ack in the House of Lords. ‘The Lords Chaticéllot is exâ€"officio Speaker, or Presiâ€" dent of the House of Lords ; but, though this high functionary is usually a Peer, it is not legally or constitutionally necessary that he should be a peer before ho enters upon the duties of his office. It is only sincs 1608 that a peerage has been conferâ€" red upon the Lord Chancellor, and in 1830 the Woolsack wis, for at least one doy, acâ€" tually occupied by Henry Brougham, while still a commoner.

The friend‘s trees, & dozen in number, were bearing heavy crops every other year, so he took a long pole and gave them a hbeavy beating on one side, just @s the fruit is aâ€" bont the size of a hickory nut, knocking all the apples off on one half the tree. The next year the alternato side took its turn, and for many years the owner had plenty of apples for home use every year. His trees stood in rich soil that was annually cultivated, no grass béing allowed to grow. A correspondent of the New York Trib: wne makes the following sensible suggestâ€" ion upon feeding fruit trees: "When enâ€" riching the soil so as io procure a good crop of corn and patatoes, do not forget to apply w liberal dressing to the too often negleeted orchard:; Rotation of crops can« not be followed with frmt trees, hence the greater necessity of systemantically restor» ing to the soll; so far as may be done, those clements eonsumed in the production of & crop of fruit. After an orchard comes into bearing it is commonly considered able thente forth to take care of itsel{â€"the own â€" or seldom failiog to expoct fair retarns,and the orchard seldom failing to disappoint. The reason is obvious; the trees are slowly starved, and the fruit becomes scraggy of small in quantity. â€" Alternate bearing yeaks is the result of this treatment, as is shown by the abundant crops that may be obtain« ed every year by thorotigh cultivation, provided frost does not interiere. â€" The barâ€" ren year is nature‘s method of aiding the tree to collect from rain and atniosphers material for a produbtive year; It is Just ag reasonable to expect that a good crop of torn tan be inken annually for a series of years from a field to whith nothing has been restored as to expect fruit to mainâ€" tain its excellence on soil that is conâ€" stantly growing thinuerand poorer in needâ€" ed material.â€"Prairie F armer, ‘ been handed over to the Bishop of Belâ€" grade. ‘These priests belonging to the exâ€" comuni¢ated host, the Constantinople Pat» riarchâ€"this officer having Leen a Groek by race and creed for the past 1,500 yearsâ€" once more protests against the estrange« ment of some of his flock, not to speak of the welcome given by the Eervian clergy to persons soletmnly cursed and anathematized Once more this grievance is indorsed by all the vatious Eastern Churches, that of Rus« aia alone excepten.
