By our English telegrams it appears that the great, but silent, revolution that has just passed over English politics has been consummated— that Mr Disraeli is once again Prime Minister, with the probability that for some time to come Conservatism will be dominant in England. It will be observed that many of the political associates of the late Earl Derby and of Mr Disraeli, in his first Premiership, have been called to office, although there are several names not so well known included in the list of the holders of minor appointments. It is almost certain that the telegram is incorrect with respect to the name of the new Home Secretary, "R. A. Cross" being, no doubt, intended for the Hon. H. A. Bruce, who was Home Secretary, if we remember rightly, during Mr Disraeli's last administration. Mr G. Ward Hunt, who is now at the head of the Admiralty, was, for a short time, Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1868. The new Secretary of State for the Colonies, Earl Carnarvon, was Under Secretary for the Colonies under Earl Derby in 1860, and Mr Baggally, the SolicitorGeneral, occupied the same post in the last Disraeli Ministry. J udging generally from the composition of the new Cabinet, and the undoubtedly strong Conservative re-action that has set in, Mr Disraeli will occupy a much stronger position than ever he Hid, and he is not likely to jeopardise it by bringing forward " heroic measures " such as those which have distinguished Mr Gladstone's administration, and contributed greatly to his defeat.
