THE BRITISH,CABIN£T,
Having already given a list of the principal
members of the British Government, with the
offices they till and the salaries theyrecoive,
we purpose now to stato ’somo personal par
ticulars, necessarily brief, but sufficient, re
specting tho individuals who form the Cabinet,
or actual governing power of the British Em
pire.' ’
; iFirst'of all, lit, us sce what the Cabinet ao
tnally is. The required information is supplied
by Voi’s Parliamentary Companion, published
annually ever since the passing of the Beform
Bill, in 1832., -it. supplies hot onlyfult per
jonslinfornmtionrelatlvotpoveryjeomberof.
&^Bnfisli'P l ariilmil!ni, r (£{)ras'aiid'Cidmmons,)
but also contains lucid explanations of parlia
mentary terms and proceedings. Mr. Charles
R. Hod, its original founder and. editor, was a
reporter on the Time j newspaper, in London,
and happily formed tho idea of this little work,
which (containing explicit information from
tho persons named in it, with additional facts
devciopod by tlio public career of each) is
taken as standard authority in England, and
universally referred to by newspaper writers
and politicians there, as supplying accurate
data*
This Mr. Dob, wo may as well mention, was
the great life-taker, or biographer,of the Times,
for many yearis. There was scarcely any pub
lic man of note, in England, of whom, on tho
chance of his death, Mr. Don had not prepared
a biographical notice in advance. He kept
them « cut and dry,” ready to bo used at a
moment's notice, with a suitable heading and
ending, on the samoday which would announce
the demise of the individual.* Thus, when,the
Duke of Wellington died (September 14,1862)
the intelligence did not reach London until
about 7 V. M.jfcut tho Timet of tbe next morn
ing came out with twolvo or fourteen columns
of an admirable biography, giving tbe Duke's
military career, following it up, the day after,
with a second part, of equal length, in which
tho great man's civil services were fully re
corded. All tbo world wondered at this. The
fact was the Memoir had been mainly prepared
ten years before, and its writer had only to
throw in the later incidents of his life. Tho
some writer had prepared a Memoir of Rogers,
the poet, but,died some years beforo Rogers.
His son now.conducta tho Parliamentary Com
panion.
On the subject of tho British Cabinet, Don
says t • • a
“The government of a state or community is
understood to signify the exercise , of supremo
authority, and includes the executive, the legisla
tive, and tbe jddioial powers; but in popular ac
ceptation it means only the first of thoso, the
higher and more immediate functions of whioh
Are. exercised by the Cabinet, a soloet body of
whom, for tho time being,' tho whole of the royal
authority is vested. Its members all belong to the
Privy Council, hut do not includo a tithe of that
body* The Cabinet is composed of the .more emi
nent portion of the Administration, but it does not
constitute mqf o than a fourth part of those whom a
change of ministry deprives of offioe, the persons
included in that council being rarely less than ton
or more than fifteen. The Cabinet being rnoro
immediately responsible for tho conduct of public
affairs, their deliberations are always considered
confidential, and kept secret even from their col
leagues, who are less exalted in offioe. The distin
guished individual who fills the situation of First
Lord of the Treasury, and combined with it some
times that of Chancellor of tho Exchequer, is tho
chief of tho ministry, and therefore of tho Cabi
net; he is usually styled, the ‘Premier,' or ‘Prime.
Minister,' but moro properly designated as ‘tho
head of her Majesty's Government.’ It is at his
immediate recommendation that his colleagues are
appointed; and, with hardly an exception, he dis
penses tho patronage of the Crown. Every Cnbi
i net includes tho following high offioers: The First
Lord of tho Treasury, tho Lord Chancellor, tbo
Lord President of tho Council, tho Lord Privy
Seal, the Chancellor of tbo Exchequer, and tho
four Secretaries of Stato. Several othor minis
terial functionaries, however, have soats in the
1 Cabinet never less than threo, ond rarely so many
as eight or nino of this latter class, aro called to
tbabstQtlon. Their ofiicos are as follows: Ohiof
Commissioner of Woods and Forests, Cbancollor of
tho Duchy of Lancaster, First Lord of tho Admi
ralty, President of tho Board of Control, President
of the Board of Trade, Socrotnry at War, Paymas
ter-General of tbo Forces, Master of tho Mint,
Judge Advocate General, Postmaster General,
Master General of tho Ordnance, Chief Secretary
for Ireland, Chief Justice of tho Queen’s Bonch.
The first Lord EUenhorough was the laßt Chief
Justioo who hold a soat in the Cabinot; having
withdrawn from the Administration, ho afterwards
expressed his disapprobation of the practice. Tho
selection usually falls upon those amongst the lat
ter mentioned functionaries, whoso rank, talents,
reputation, and political weight, render them tho
most useful auxiliaries, or whoso sorviecs, while in
opposition, may have created tho strongest claims
to the honors of tho Cabinot. It has occasionally
happenodthat a peer possessing higher character
and influonoo neceps a seat in tbo Cabinot without
undertaking the labors and responsibility of any
particular offico,’ Although tho select council has
now boon regarded during severnl generations as
an essential port of our polity, yet it still contin
ues to bo unknown to tho law. Tho names of the
noblemen and gentlemen who composo it aro never
officially announced to tho public. No record ib
kopt of its resolutions or mootings/ nor has its ex
istence ever been recognised by any act of Par
liament.” ' ’

blomcn and Commoners, Tho fttet tbftfc Ml*

hard boon kept distinot; tho last occasion on which
they were united was in the year 1835,
On the occasion hero referred to, it was the
late Sir Hobeet Peel who was First Lord of,
the Treasury and also Chancellor of the Ex
chequer. Bo was driven into this by .the cir
cumstance of not having a good financier in
his Cabinet. ’ The salary of each office,

CALIFORNIA NEWS
BY THE LOST STEAMER CENTRAL
AMERICA.
Wo are indebted to our friend, W- M. Reese
Esq., of California, for a copy of the “San
Francisco News-Letter” containing tho Cali
fornia news from the sth to tho 20th of August,
from which we make up the following highly
interesting summary. Tho letter containing
this information was forwarded by tbo ill-fated
steamer “Tho Central Amorica,” and bears
the following inscription upon tho envelope;
« Saved by the bearer, Lilly Birch, ‘The Min
strel,' who came in the Central America, and
who sacrificed his all, preserving this, with other
letters, which he deemed might be invaluable,”
Wo return our best tbanks to tho gallant min-
Btrel, and hopo ho may live long and sing
nightly to grateful and gratified audiences.
Tho intelligence from California, besides
being of a most Interesting character," is aus
picious in tho’ extreme. Tho influx of emi
gration, the discovory of new gold placers, tho
rapid development of the cereal products of
tbe soil, tho successful effort to protect tho
credit of the Stato, and the healthy tono of the
business interests, are cheering signs for tho
future—and wo hopo will not be darkened by
tho gloom which has settled upon the Atlantic
States.

has been committed to prison. Tho forgery was
discovered by the application of tho real owuor of
the draft at tho banking houso of Sathor & Church,
who promptly paid tho money ovor again. It is
yet to be hoped tho amount may bo recovered; for
although 8. AC. are tho third on tho list of tho

Tho leading men iu tho South American
republics have long been talking of forming a con
federation of fcholr Slatw, Bimilar to tho North
American Union, undor tho titlo of tho United
States of South America.
Tho last mail from Valparaiso brought a
treaty signed by Chilo, Peru, and Eouador, to pro
vide tor unity of army, navy, tariff, coin, weights,
and system of publio instruction, or of adjusting
tho present differences to some genoral standard.
It is plain hero aro tho bases for a federation not

Dave Potts tolls us that game and trout aro

mountains. Ho says that bo saw a hand of Indians
in Corson Valloy “corralling” and killing ante

pursue tho antelope, which, when tired, refuso to

An early riser informs tho “ Alta” that
whilst swimming at sun-rise nonr Meigs’ wharf at
North Boaoh, ho encountered throe or four ladies
indulging in tho iner-maid luxury of sea-bathing.
Thoy wore much alarmed, and hastily gathering up
thoir clothes, rah out of tho water to a neighbor
ing hotel—no doubt wishing to the intruders tho
fate of Aoteon, who was turned very properly into
a stag for frightening tho nymphs at tho Bath of
Diana. On Tuesday tho 11th, another ludlorous
fright occurred to a number of persons at Wnshor-
Woman’s Boy, who were enjoying a marine dip at
an early hour, and were surprised at some living
objeat coming towards them. When first dis
covered, the monster was within fifty yards, and
rapidly approaohlng. Its appearance wasfluffioient
to provoke fright, and ft run for tho shore was tho
consequence. Somo of tho bathors soon forgot thoy
wore without clothing, and ran a quarter of amilo
down tho boaoh. On approaching the shore tho
monster was found to be-a large hog, which had,
doubtless, jumped overboard from some vessel in
_ the bay!

mowho it was. I asked hor if sho know tho import

and would keep it. I told hor that I hud four boys,
onoof them no bigger than horself, and if she wore
to tell anybody that I was thoro, men would coiuo

four littlo boys would bo withoutnnyuody tolovo nnd

“Bon. J. 17. Denver, 6
I Commissioner of Indian Affaire,”
pa'tho receipt of this intelligence, Mr. Charles
E. Mix, Aotiag'.Commisrioner of Indian Affairs,
addressed, a communication to the Secretary of the
Interior, in which, after setting forth the facts of
the ease as contained in the letter of Agent Twiss,
he goes on to say:
j“ For your information, I would state that the
region ot country said to bo occupied was assigned
tq the Sioux, and recognised to belong to them by
the treaty of Laramie, of the 17th of September,
1851.. ,
In connection with this case, I would state the
v jews which were taken by this office in that of Hr.
Jacob HaU, a contractor to carry-tbo mails from
Independence to Santa Fe. Mr. Hall stated, in a
communication to .the Postmaster General, which
was referred to this office, that, as a mail contrac
tor, he had necessarily made, several- improve
ments oh the lands of the Kansas Indians; upon
Which communication a report was made to the
-Secretary of the Interior, to the effect that, while
t te intercourse law gave no express authority .to
o tixfeCS of the United States to go on and reside
a nong the Indian tribes, except under certain
c rcumstanees specified-by law, yet it-.did forbid a
,c tizen from driving or otherwise conveying ‘any
s ock of Bowes, mules, or csttle to Tange or feed
op any‘ land belonging to any Indian or Indian
tribe, without the consent of suoh tribe ;* but that
Mr. Hall being in the country, engaged ift tho
public service, thi3 office would be pleased to do all
t£afc the law allowed to facilitate the discharge ot
his duties and to accommodate the, Bostmastor
general; and, so os he confined himself to mere
residence and occupancy of the improvements,
which he had already made with the consent of
tpe Indians, no '.difficulty would be thrown iu his
way; but that no authority existed under which per
mission coaid be granted to extend Bis improve
ments, make use of the timber, or cultivate land.
» “ This office was then requested by tho Secre
tary to re-oxaniino tho matter in connection with
the law passed by Congress on the 3d of March,
1855, with respect to contractors for carrying the
ipail through any of the Territories west of the
Mississippi, and reported,according to its construc
tion of the provision, 1 that each contractor en
gaged or to be engaged iu carrying the moils
through any of the Territories west of the Mis
sissippi shall have the privilege of occupying sta
tions, at the rate of not more than quo for every
twenty tniles of tho route on whioh he carries a
mail, and shall have u pre-emption right therein,
then the same shall be brought into market, to
the extent. of six hundred and fortv acres, to be
taken contiguously and to include 'hfe improve
ments.’ It had reference only to thoso lands to
the Indian title had been extinguished and
surrendered to the United States, and not lands
belonging to tribes, to which the titles had not
been, extinguished, and therefore was not applica
ble to the case of Mr. Hall, as his station w is upon
tho lands of the Kansas Indians, to which their
title had not been extinguished.
I havo cited in fall tho views of the Indian
Office in regard to tho right-; *>f Mr. Bill, lbi!
deem the same views applicable in this instance,
which I bftTe the honor to submit, together with a
cony of the agent’s letter, that such steps may bo
taken as in your judgmont may be advisable and
proper.

A Terrible Butchery.
the Evansville (Ind.) Journal, 19th.]
| .\Vo are indebted to Dr. Keller, who came in
;from Princeton yesterday, for some of the particu
lars of the mo3t shocking butchery of which wo
diftve yet heard in these times of personal violence
and bloody crimes. On Thursday evening, at
Francisco, a village on the canal, in Gibson county,
about sixteen miles from this city, aparty of young
persons were assembled for practice in ringing. A
crowd of rowdies soon gathered around the house,
and began to makeudisturbance to annoy or break
up the singing party. Tho young men in the house, •
among whom were two sons or Mr. Perkins, the
owner of alftTge flour mill in the village, with
their brother-in-law, a Mr Crow, camo to the door
either to drive away the disturbers, or persuade
them to be quiet.
A fight ensued in whieh one of the young Per
kinses was stabbed and killed on the spot; the other
woa stabbed between tbo shoulders and badhU
throat out, and though living when the messenger
left, he was not expected to survive. Toung Cross
was also stabbed, and had his tongue cut out by thq
murderous savages. If there ho no exaggeration
in the talo of the informant, who was on the spot,
and was the messenger despatched to Princeton for
a surgeon; it woe one of the most bloody trage
dies ever enacted in Southern Indiana. '
