THE SITUATION.

W« are not apeeial adTiserK of Her Majesty, or goverutueut, perliaps from the /act that we bave not been ealleei upon by e>ther j)mty to adviee, but we have opinioua of our oim in regurd to the situatit>ii of the duy. Soiße of oar most couserTi< tive iiien both heie and *broad, when ..ho death of the King became kaowu, said und tried to assure others tliat the <leath of tlie Kīng would cause no trouble or make any ehanges, that the Government would go on as forn!erly,this vi«w was genera V accepted liere by people who knew all parties, and for fche time being was reasuring, but for reaeong unbeknowu to us. Har Majeaty is, under her own opinion, the adyiee of others, that she was entitled to new advisers, whieh means it ministry of her own selection, this at fir#t view would eeem reasonable although not expected by the, puhlie, and by the *coniniercial iuteresta who hoped matters would remain as they were,as frequent changes are not conducive to good goYernment and especially as Article 40 of the Coustitution seeiu to imply that, the Cabinet Ministers aro the servantB of the country and are therefore under the power and control of the Legialature; and to that body only are they responsible. TTere body in BeHsiqn, there wōuld be no occasion for alarm as they would approve or disapprove of any appoiniiwepi that might bQ made und wpuld itierefore remove any (louUla the present Ministry may have as to their du'ty to the public.. We are informed upon the best of avidence, that conservatiY« men of both politieal parties have beeu to the MinisiCY9,, &dvised tbem Btyo»gly agaiiist ros\gu\ng »ot fox ihe e&ieeiai they had for them; bnt for th® counfcry and the Hawaiiaa race, and this has been urged more strongly in the past few days since ramor has been busy with the names of a prohūiet.
