THCTRSDAY, DEO. 27th, 18394,
OOMPOSITXOY OF THE NEB'
CABINET.
On Friday last the members o£ the
New Cabinet formed by, the Hon, Mee -
Kenzie Rowell as. Premier, were duly
sworn into office at Montreal before His
Excellency Lord Aberdeen, Governor-
Geeeral. Very few changes have been
made in the personnel of the new gov-
ernment, with the exception of Sir 0. H•
Tupper being sworn in as Minister of
Justice, to succeed the late Sir _ John
Thompson; the Hon. I.`Costigan taking
the portfoho of Minister of Marine and
Fisheries; and the Hon. W, B. Ives tak-
ing the office of Minister of Trade and
Commerce, The Ministers without
portfolio are: the Hon. Frank Smith,cicd
the newly appointed Member of Cabi-
net, the Hon. Dr. Montague, of Heidi
mend. Our readers will perhaps be in-
, terested to know the religious complex-
asf the new administration, Protestants
sand P. P. A's. will be gratified to learn
that there are no less than eleven Pro-
te t ut members to
five Roman Catho-
lics; and so far as we can ascertain, the
Protestant section of the Bowell Cabinet
consists of the following denominations:
Methodist, 1; Baptist, 1; Presbyterian,1;
Church of England, 8. However, the
choice of Cabinet Ministers has not
been made on religions but on political
grounds, and on the alleged fitness for
the several departments to which they
have been appointed. His Excellency,
the Governor General, in a lengthy in
terview with the new Premier, shortly
before the Cabinet took the oaths of
office, expressed his entire approval of
the choice made by the Premier of his
colleagues. It may be meutioned, as
au interesting piece of information,that
so soon as it was found necessary to
select a new Premier, after the lament-
ed decease of Sir John Thompson, it
was the leading Roman Catholic mem-
ber, the Hon. Frank Smith, of Toronto,
who proposed to His Excellency the
name of Mr. Bowell as the person who,
from seniority and long experience of
public affairs, best fitted to be entrusted
with the formation of the New Cabinet
Generally speaking, the present heals
of Department are men amply qualified
for the task imposed upon them, and
will, we are sure, fulfil their onerous
and responsible duties to the public sat.

to have been in the habit of illtreating
his sister in his drunken sprees by
beating her, Coroner Dr. Gordon was
notified of the death, and on visiting

ber of witnesses'were examined, The
taking of evidence was finished at 10
o'clock, and the jury rendered a ver-
dict that Mrs. Elder's death wag caused
