Minister of Justice — Hon W. Clarke. It is considered probable that Mr Barton, late Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, will accept the position of Vice-President of the Executive Council, which appointment Mr G. H. Reid declined. In the Legislative Assembly to-night, after an acrimonious debate, the House declined to grant supplies, by 44 to 43, until the Ministry has been formally declared. The new Ministry were sworn m this morning, with the exception of Sir H. Parkes, who, as Vice-President of the Executive Council, will ask for supplies himself.
