w, new ipifoiuiuinutai.
A cable telegram published elsewhere an
Bounces Important Cu.nges as having just taken
place in Mr. Gladstone s Ministry. There have
been numerous reports of lale of still greater
changes, but tbe announcement of the new ap
pointments by tbe London Times of this morn
ing sets these first reports at rest. The changes
were rendered necessary by the continued ill
ness of the Right lion. Hugh C. E. Childers, the
First Lord of tbe Admiralty, whose physicians
recently declared that be'would not be able to
resume bis official duties for at least a ye ir.
Below we give brief bketches ot Mr. Gladstone's
new colleagues.
The Hlaht Il.n. irorae .lanrhlin Goarhn,
who rucceeds Mr. Childers as First Lord of the
Admiralty aud Lead of the British naval ad
ministration, is tbe son of Mr. William U.
Goschen, a prominent London merchaut, of
German extraction, and was born in 1831. He
aastducated at Rugby and Oril College, Ox
ford, from which institution, however, he did
not graduate, in consequeuce of enter
taining conscientious scruples against taking
the oaths then enforced. la May,
1863, he entered Parliament as a member for
L01 don, in the Libtral interest, and has sig
ualiztd Lis career in the Houe of Commons bv
advocating earnestly the abolition of all reli
gious teBts in the universities, and throwing
them open to dissenters. Iu July, 185, he wai
sgaln returned to Parliament for the city of
Lotdon, standing at the head of the roll, and.
was again successful at the election of N ,vem-"
ber, 1868. On November 30, 1865, he
was ppolntd Vice-President of the Board
of Trade, audi on January 26, lbC6, Chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster, but retired from
office with the Russell Ministry, in June ot that
year. In December, 1808. be entered Mr. Glad
stone's new Ministry as President of the Pojr
Law Board, the position which he vacates, to
accept the bead of the Admiralty Board. Mr.
Goscben, who has long been engaged iff busi
ness as a merchant in London, has written
largely on financial questions, aud is the author
of a work on "The Theory of Foreign Ex
changes." The Hlaht Il.a. Jamea Mtaaafeld,
who sm ceeds Mr. Goschen as President of the .
Poor Law Board, a very important office, was
born at Halifax, Yorkshire, in 1820. He was
educated at University College, London, and
was called to tbe bar at tbe Inner Temple in
1849. In April, 1859, he was elected to
the House of Commons for tbe bo
rough of Halifax, in the adyjneed Liberal in
terest, and still holds the seat to which be was
then elected. In April, 1863, be was appointed
a Junior Lord of the Admiralty by Lord Palsner
b on, and displayed great administrative ability
!n tbe dkthar-e of Lis dalles. Bat la April,
1664, be obliged to resign 00, account ol tfeo
dissatisfaction caused by Ms intimacy with
Maer.tai, the celebrated Italian agUtor, whose
correspondence from abroad reached him nnd-ir
cover of Mr. Stansfeld's name, to avoid tbe
espionage of the London Pot Office. In Feb
ruary, I86A. however, be again entered ofTlce.
becoming Under-Secretary of State in Lord
KuIIe second administration, retiring with
tbe Ministry in June following. Iu Decem
ber, 18T.8. when Mr. Gladstone made
up blfminl-lry, bo created a new offl.ie for the
epp- ial benefit of Mr. SUnafeld, that of Third
Lord of the Treaury, which he has continue 1
to hold until the present time.

The bank statement lost night is in some
respects favorable, and in others unfavorable,
to the future of the market. The deposits show
an Increase of i4W,953, and the loans a corre-i-pondlng
inciease of 408,497, but there is a
slight tlecrease in legal-tenders amounting to
1219.035, and a very slight falling off in the
su ply of gold. Tbe business of the week, as
we anticipated, has heen very large; the clear
ings being over 8.5t 0.000 In excess of those of
tbe preceding week; the balances are also con
siderably larger. Tbe expansion in tbe loans,
added to the ease in rates, shows full confidence
la the steady condition of the market, and is a
very favorable feature for the future. The rates
for call loans ad discounts do not vary from
those so oltcn quoted.
Gold is quiet but steady, with all the sales
varying but little from 111.
Iu Government bonds there is a steady da
mand, and prices continue to advance. Tbe
currency 0 are fully per cent, higher.
Stocks were unusually active aud strong. Sale
of old Cltv Cs at 1013; new do. at lOlf; and
Lebijib gold loan at ST4.
Reading Railroad was exceedingly active, with
heavy sales, opening at 50 09. advancing to 51,
and cloning at 50. Pennsylvania was steady,
with small sales at bl; sales of Lehigh Valley
