Wo have noticed, in several of Our exchange papers, that ’a number of gentlemen have been named for this honorable position.

RESIGNATION. OF XORD JOHN RUMBLIi.

The extensive loss of Parliamentary confidence, or rather Parliamentary sympathy with his lordship and his colleagues have evidently Suffered of latej has probably prepared most of our rnaders'for lhis result. What sort of •goveYnnienf'aro '-tfe lo hdvel A n6w one alto gether, or’a regards the critical principles and personal characters of-the, men, is.no. reason why a, cabinet should not be formed sllllffor a leader, but with sqvefaVMw members including two or three from ■admifiidlraltdn;' but the Whigs are generally averse to coalition.: They come in and go out together, and milch the public will “undoubtedly lose; by the,sacrifice of the old cabinet.

The most desirable object is union. All should combine to prevent even a moment’s success of the protectionist imposture. The question of free trade ought not Jo come again before'the country. It is 100 serious and 100 sore a subject to be re-opened, especially by the rough process of a general election.
