" From what we have said it will be seen that there are few of Mr. Falconer's fellows of the stage with whom he may be compared.

They are full of feeling, tenderly expressed. In verses of character the author proves himself to be an artist who can limn boldly and correctly, and as a writer of ballads we think he will be remembered, were it only for his 'Anne Hathaway.'

"No one can read this volume of poems without detecting the ringof the genuine metal; all of them are lull of thought —some pervaded with a fine tenderness of fecling."—Diun friesand Galloway Courier.

"—it is the un happy fate of our excellent Chancellor to be a standing subject of calumnious reports. There is no Minister with whose name rumour has been more disagreeably busy. There is scarcely any part of his public conduct upon which she does not lay her uncleanly finger. It is not our business to refute the tittle-tattle of which the clubs and Westminster Hall are full. It is easy to see that the Chancellor is the victim of virtues which are ill-appreciated by an envious world. But his reputation, however much he may expose it, can never be a matter of indifference to his countrymen. After all, he is the best imitation of a Pope we have got among us ; and the judgments by which he regulates the belief of the faithful in the Church of England are composed in a style nearly as exciting as the Encyclical which has recently issued from St. Peter's Chair. We shall listen, therefore, with a salu tary scepticism to all reports prejudicial to his good fame. Evidence in support of charges of misconduct ought to be required to bear some proportion to the dignity of the accused. It is said to be the law of the Papal States, that charges of incontinence against a Cardinal of the Cifurch shall not be lis tened to unless five witnesses of the fact can be pro duced. At least an equal amount of testimony ought to be required before we believe any evil of the high official who has been selected under' the English law to e x pl a i n th e art i c l es of their faith to Churchmen, and especially to enlighten them as to the future destiny of the profligate, the mendacio us , and the corrupt. Th e l a t es t difficultyi in which the guileless nature of the Lord Chancellor has involved him threatens to be more embarrassing than any with which he has hitherto had to deal. The prima facie case is one which few persons would like to find themselves called upon to confront ; but it rests upon assumptions which, whatever their versimili tude may be, have not yet been established by proof. There are some points which appear to be undis puted, and which have excited many uncomplimen tary observations ; but some material links are still wanting to make up the story which the active imagination of the public has woven out of the ad mitted facts. It is quite clear that Mr. Edmunds re signed, and it is also clear that his resignation gave to the. Chancellor an opportunity, of which he availed himself with startling rapidity, to promote his son— or at least, to use the cautious language of the Attor ney-General, a person who stood towards him in the relation of a son. The Attorney -General never employs language without a meaning ; and, though the laity may not be able to see at the first blush, no doubt the time will come when they will appre ciate the soundness and importance of the distinction which the first Law Officer of the Crown has drawn between the Chancellor's son and the person who stands to him in that relation. Anyhow, the gentle man who apparently unites these two sharply-discri minating characters did, by the resignation of Mr. Edmunds, obtain an uncommonly good appointment. The feeling of the public, upon learning this fact, naturally was that Mr. Edmunds' tenderness of conscience had been very serviceable to the Chan cellor's family interests. The next point which came to light was that, to all appearance, there was no need that Mr. Edmunds should have resigned at all. His offence was in no way connected with his position in the House of Lords. Nor does it ap pear, as far as the facts are at present known, to have involved a criminality which would have made him necessarily incapable of retaining any other public office. It is clear that the Law Officers of the Crown did not think that there was enough in the story to support a criminal charge ; and it is pro bable that Mr. Edmunds rather erred by continuing a vicious tradition than by originating any mal practice of his own. This is the result to which the speeches of Lord Derby and the Chancellor lead. But then, it is naturally asked, how came he to re sign ? What was it that terrified him into so un wise a step, which has thrown him upon the world, absolutely without official salary, after so many years of official service. The answer is plain enough. He knew that the Chancellor was about to communicate to the House of Lords the charges that had been made against him, and the position in which he stood. Now here we get into the region of conjecture. One reason, and one reason only, could have determined Mr. Edmunds to resign his office under the House of Lords without waiting to see whether the house was really inclined to turn him out or not ; and that reason must have been a hope that, by resigning, he would obtain his pen sion, from which he might be barred if he waited till the cause of his dismissal was made known. But here comes the difficulty. Mr. Edmunds had been in formed that, if he continued to retain his office, the Chancellor would lay the charges against him before the House. Reasoning by ordinary analogy, he would have inferred that the Chancellor would equally feel himself bound to lay the charges before the com mittee appointed to decide upon the question of foresee eoll t ne h ov a rwi t dos t u inhted declareshC eh h am a v n tueh c s e bat l Chancellor an r hve w ew o fni u lutehrvdeoesurneteontt motive.odiltdo this nmr h sr ? giving him a pension. How came Mr. Edmunds to t s c i s i ghc quite e by from an Ed munds of his intentionsy T r h e l disclosures promisei n e li v im ent t , o a r b e s s t ig ai n n t a h t a h t he would would, imperil n t hat his pension. Lord Westbury is far too cautious a man to indulge in written promises ; and " tell" is a coarse word to express the mode of communica tion by which the Chancellor's benignant intentions might be conveyed to Mr. Edmunds's doubting mind. But was no hint given by any one ? Was no understanding encouraged ? These are questions the committee appointed on Thursday will have to re tth respect, or incited re solve. If no such intimation was given tacitly or openly the tale is one of the most extraordinary that was ever told. That the Lord Chancellor should have decided that it was his duty to thrust the accusations (as yet unanswered) upon the House of Lords when no question concerning Mr Edmunds had been raised there, and yet that it was not his duty, when Mr. Edmunds had resigned, to lay them before the com mittee appointed to decide upon his pension, is in explicable enough. But that Mr. Edmunds should have foreseen that the Chancellor would take this inexplicable course, and should have staked his whole official means of support upon the accuracy of that forecast, is ten times more inexplicable. The public seem inclined to draw the light which is to clear up this mystery from the fact that the Chan cellor's inscrutable reticence, and Mr. Edmunds's mysterious foreknowledge of it, have contributed to instal Mr. Slingsby Bethel in a delightful post. If Mr. Edmunds had not foreseen the Chancellor's reticence, and had consequently not resigned, a fat appointment would have been wanting to the com fortable sum total which the Bethell family are en joying out of the proceeds of the taxes. There are hard unsympathising men who have designated these proceedings as jobs ; but they do not under stand the tender scrupulousness of the Lord Chan cellor's mind. He has always been a deeply reli gious man. He has felt an impulse, which he could not control, to preach Christianity to Christian Young Men's Associations. He has, as he himself has told us, offered con stant prayers to Heaven for the success of the Reform movement ; and he has carefully avoided throwing any doubts upon the efficacy of those prayers by resorting to the merely human instru mentality of bringing in a Reform Bill. In the same spirit, he has observed the Scriptural command to provide for those of his own household. The fortu nate resignations of Mr. Edmunds have enabled him to provide, not only for a son in the House of Lords, but also for a son-in-law in the Patent-office. If for no other reason, Mr. Edmunds deserves a pen sion for having contributed so largely to the depas turage of so excellent a . fami y 1 But this appears by no means to exhaust the list of the Lord Chan cellor's achievements in the performance of this imperative and difficult duty. 'He feels deeply that time is short, and that, if he does not improve every occasion, the opportunity may pass from him fo r ever. The 7 following speech, reported to have been made by Mr. Tidmas, at Ipswich, gives an idea of his laudable activity in this respect :—" It might be said of the Bankruptcy Act that it has been a gigantic system of out-door relief to Lord Westbury's relations. I hold \ in my hand a list of some of the appointments which the noble lord has made under that bill. First, a registrarship to the Hon. Slingsby Bethell, son of the Lord Chancellor, to the Court of Bank ruptcy at Exeter, and afterwards at London ; second, a registrarship of deeds to the Hon. R. Bethell, son of the Lord Chancellor, under the New Bankruptcy Act ; third, Crown Solicitor to the Court of Bank ruptcy, Walter William Aldridge Esq., who mar ried a niece of th e L or d Chancellor, appointment created under the New Bankruptcy Act; fourth, Architect to the Court of Bankruptcy, Augustus B. Abrahams, brother-in-law to the Lord Chancellor, appointment found necessary under the New Bank ruptcy Act. In addition to these there was a sec retaryship of presentations, given to A. B. Abrahams, Esq., and a Mr. R. J. Abrahams was appointed second clerk in the Land Registry Office. There is another little job in my own immediate neigh bourhood, where the Lord Chancellor has been induced to appropriate an appointment for the benefit of his own son-in-law ' the official assig neeship to the Ex e t er district. Now, I say that gentleman knew no more of the duties of the official assigneeship than I know of the duties of the Lord Chief Justice of -England. His lordship has recently removed his son-in-law from that district to the London official assigneeship, at a salary of £BOO a year." Even this, however, does not appear to complete the list ; for it has been asserted, and the assertion we believe has not been contradicted, that another son of the Chancellor, the Hon. W. Bethell, has been appointed to a place of £4OO a year, though he is still an undergraduate at Oxford. Under ordinary circumstances, it might be judicious so far to consult public prejudice as to wait until his sons had completed their education before he provided for them at the public expense. In these days it is usually supposed that salaries are only paid in exchange for work done ; and it is an tecedently probable that a youth who is still an undergraduate at the University will not, either in point of leisure or of ability, be worth £4OO a year to the public service. But these considerations were overcome in the mind of the Lord Chancellor by the menacing aspect of the political horizon. " Trust not the morrow" is a maxim which should never be forgotten by public characters who have large families to provide for. After all, it is but a sacrifice of repuation in exchange for so much pub lic money ; and whether the bargain is a good or a bad one must depend in each case on the amount which there is to sacrifice. THE EXAMINER.—Mr. Edmunds held four ap- • pointments, two in the Commission of Patents, and two in the House of Lords. In the office of Patents he was charged with default, confessed himself 1 debtor to the amount of nearly £B,OOO, which he paid, and resigned his appointments. A farther and larger sum is claimed by the Treasury, but disputed by Mr. Edmunds. In these circumstances the Chan cellor had to consider the course to be taken with reference to the offices held by this gentlemen in the House of Lords. Mr. Edmunds asked the Chan cellor to suspend his action till he should have made his answer to the last claim of the Treasury, and partly upon this plea, partly upon, another, and vaguer, for time, a short period of grace was granted. And on the very day when the Chancel lor, in conformity with the opinion of the Govern ment, was about to communicate the whole affair to the House of Lords, Mr. Edmunds put in a petition for leave to retire with a pension, which petition the Chancellor himself presented. It then devolved on a committee to consider the claim to a pension, which they did without any knowledge of the charges against Mr. Edmunds beyond floating rumours. And so the pension was granted. The Chancellor justifies his inaction on the ground that he was not bound to "pursue " Mr. Edmunds into the Com mission, and thwart his application for a reward for eighteen years' servises. But as the Chancellor, by silently presenting the petition, had given it some silent sanction, we think the better course would have been to have acquainted the committee with the facts, and to have left the matter altogether to its judgment.. And the Chancellor gives a most extraordinary reason for not having done any thing which could prevent the grant of the pension, that it could be taken in satisfaction of any debt which may be be proved due to the Trea sury 1 In other and plain words, that the public or the Crown, no matter which word is used, should pay itself with its own money. According to this view, the only fault is that the pension was so small, for if it had been thousands instead of hundreds there would at once have been the wherewith to satisfy the Treasury claim to some £9,000. We have here given a mere rough outline of this affair, avoiding all minor details, for all that we have in view is to enable our readers to judge of the Chan cellor's part in it. Lord Westbury is not a popular man. He has no consideration for the self-love of the people with whom he comes in contact, and has a peculiar art of bringing home to them unmis takably a mortifying sense of their inferiorities. No one has a greater command of oil, of which he only makes one use, to give the utmost smoothness to his incisive weapons. His temper and his talents are of equal edge.. At a safe distance his great abilities are seen and justly admired, but near they inspire more of apprehension than any other feeling. THE "LONDON REviEw."—The Lord Chancellor has given the town what it always dearly loves— a great scandal for its clubs and dinner tables. If Caesar's wife should not even be suspected, what shall be said of the keeper of the Queen's conscience, if it appears that he has abused his position to con done a gross offence against the public service, and use it as a means of promoting his relatives ? This is the scandal, and it was all the more readily be lieved, inasmuch as Lord Westbury has bestowed his patronage upon the members of his family to an extent which has been the subject of general remark. It is not, of course, to be supposed that a lawyer who attains the woolsack, or a clergyman who is made a bishop, will be entirely oblivious of the in terests of his sons and sons-in-law in disposing of the good things which fall within his gift. But to think of them to the exclusion of every one else, is placing other candidates, equally well, and perhaps better, qualified, at an unfair disadvantage. Lord Westbury has done this ; and thus the scandal which on Tuesday he endeavoured to explain away has acquired force and probability. And we confess that, even with his'explanation before us, we find find it diffi cult to resist the supposition that the prospect of put ting Mr. S Bethell, his son, into one good appoint ment, and Captain Cardew, his son-in-law, into another, had something to do with the resignation by Mr. Edmunds in the Patent Office and in the House of Lords. But, whether this is so or not, there are other points, to which we shall presently draw attention, with regard to which there can be no doubt whatever, that the Lord Chancellor's con duct is open to the gravest inculpation. In review ing the case two considerations suggest themselves. Both turn upon the gravity of Mr. Edmunds' offence. Lord Westbury tells us that, when the Law Officers of the Crown were consulted, they were of opinion that there was no ground for crimi nal proceedings ; and that, even if such proceedings could have been instituted with success, "they would have been unfair and unjust, because the whole of the information attaching to Mr. Edmunds' defalca tions, or, at least, the principal part of it, had been obtained from his confession." " It was, therefore," Lord Westbury says, " a matter of c i v il li a bili ty. " " If," he adds, "it had turned out, or if it should hereafter turn out, that Mr. Edmunds has paid the whole amount, it would have been wrong to deprive him of his pension." Nay, "if it should turn out that Mr. Edmunds is still a debtor, the pension is liable to be taken, and will be taken, in satisfaction of that debt." Ve confess we are astonished at these admissions. If Mr. Edmunds is entitled to his pension, why was he forced to resign the office in respect of which he claimed it ? Lord Westbury . pumo whether hore not, has hedis ischeaortetdledhtois his p l e full n a : sion ; that it would have been wro ng t o depri ve hi m bsailyitsyto that,h e of it ; that, even if the allegation that he still owes the public £9,100 is true, he is still entitled to it ; for, he says, it will be applied in payment of his debt.. Now, one of two things follows—either Mr. Edmunds has not disqualified himself, by his con- . duct in the Patent-office, for holding his places in the House of Lords, or, if he has, he is not entitled to a pension for his services in those places. Lord Westbury's statement to the House on Tuesday was, in one respect, exces sively uncandid. He gave it no means of judging what the nature of Mr Edmunds' defalcations in the Patent-office were. As far as we can gather the facts of the charge against this gentleman from his lordship's sp eec h, it seenis to us very doubtlul indeed whether Mr. Edmu n d s h as b een irregularity,baeenmufocrhefeodlriglhvbhityerchL,rootrhodoaul Wt g y h et h sht e ba i nury s d t e h s at e to rvin winhfi g iioc o ht f guilty of more th an h a blame, n e ha s upon himself would not have fully met the justice of the case. He was bound by the statute of 1833 to pay over all fees received by him, and make his account to the Exchequer. But the statute makes no provision touching the audit of his accounts. If the fact be, as Lord Derby says he has been in formed, that Mr. Edmunds, instead of handing over a sum of money which he had received on behalf of the Government, placed it in a deposit bank and received the interest upon it till it was called for— though such a proceeding was excessively improper, it was not of that gross character which would de mand that he should be removed from all the ap pointments he held.

The Lord Chancellor's heart seems to have got the better for a time of his stern sense of duty. When he received an earnest request from Mr. Edmunds' solicitor to postpone that communication till Mr. Edmunds could hear from abroad. Why it would have been a consola tion to Mr. Edmunds to hear from abroad before the Lord Chancellor could be permitted to set his con science at rest does not very clearly appear, but it is said that the Lord Chancellor had again intimated to Mr. Edmunds that for the second time he might avoid a trial more or less public, by resignation,— perhaps he wished to give Mr:Edmunds time to take the advice of friends abroad whether such re signation would be desirable. This Lord Westbury does not deny, but he repudiates with great fervour the imputation of having tempted Mr. Edmunds with the hope of getting a pension as well as avoid ing the publicity of an inquiry by the House of Lords in case he should resign. No doubt Mr. Ed munds had a difficult calculation to make. On the one hand, it is pretty clear that his friends in the House of Lords were numerous. Lord Derby, for instance, does not scruple to pa lli ate the rather larming practice (hypothetically attri buted to Mr. Edmunds) of paying State money to a private deposit account and drawing the interest of that deposit account as your own. With powerful friends willing to draw (if necessary) strong moral distinctions in one's favour between the practice of holding a capital not one's own in one's own hands while actually drawing the income and spending it, and the practice of annexing capital and interest at once, what might there be to hope from an inquiry in the House of Lords ? On the other hand, a pension of £BOO a-year without inquiry might be in every way preferable—preferable to all parties—to Mr. Edmunds himself, and to the patron in whose gift was the.successorship to Mr. Edmunds. And considering especially that this patron was the powerful and compassionate Lord Chancellor him self, what might there not be to hope from the policy of resignation which seemed to be expressly indi cated by the merciful Judge as the only condition of his silence? Might not the Lord Chancellor have conceived the benevolent idea of conferring the post on some deserving relative of his own ? And might it not be very gratifying to his feelings both as a Christian and as a father to be spared on the one hand the pain of a public censure of Mr. Edmunds, and on the other the uncertainties arising from the long delay of an investigation, and the possibility that the House of Lords might after all take the same high moral ground as to the broad difference between spending the capital and spending the in terest of public moneys as Lord Derby takes, and de cline to dismiss their Clerk for his little peocadillo in another department? These considerations—or some others equally weighty—determined Mr. Edmunds (after he had heard from abroad) to place his resig nation in the hands of the Clerk of the Parchments, accompanying it with a petition for a pension in consideration of faithful service. Lord Westbury's pity now triumphed. It was not in his nature, he hinted, to " pursue" Mr. Edmunds to the committee. So--apparently without again consulting the Govern ment—he held back his revelations—presented Mr. Edmunds' petition himself, and made no commu nication to the committee appointed to consider the pension concerning his alleged misdeeds. Doubtless he had not promised Mr. Edmunds to favour his pension in case he resigned—but Mr. Edmunds had calculated rightly on the compassionate temper of that gentle heart. 'The resentment of the judge was satisfied by the resignation of the culprit ; the tenderness of the father was gratified by the new opening for the son. The committee appointed to consider the pension had heard generally of the unfavourable rumours, but these rumours were not officially before them, and Mr. Ed mun d s ' s friends in the House of rds are many and earnest. What the Lord Chancellor did not feel it his duty to explain, the committee did not feel it their duty to ask. A pension of £BOO a year was granted without asking questions. What if it should turn out that Mr. Edmunds had appropriated money in the Patent Office--did that diminish his merits as Clerk to the House of Lords ? Would not every reason able man feel it his duty to pension handsomely for faithful service the confidential servant whp had punctually discharged all his duties as a house ser vant, but had been compelled to leave his place only for occasionally abstracting money from the count ing-house, and putting it in his own name to a separate account at the savings' bank, of course drawing the interest (pro tempore) for himself ? At all events the committee were not affected with notice of the truth of the various rumours, and did not wish to test it, so the pension was given. And in the mean time the Hon. Slingsby Bethell succeeded to Mr. Edmunds as Reading Clerk to the House of Lords. Thus it was arranged in a manner very soothing for all parties—when the story oozed out into the press, and that coarse stimulus furnished by public opinion was applied to the motives of all con cerned: However, we cannot regret a circumstance which has resulted in these second confessions of a beautiful spirit." The delicate sense of respon sibility, the atmosphere of " soft compassion's feel ing soul," the lowliness —almost Augustinian—of that last sentence of the Lord Chancellor's, in which he urged upon their lordships an investigation into his own conduct--" I humbly beg to move your lordships that a Committee of this House be ap pointed," &c .

Deserters state that the last of Hardee's army crossed the Santie on the 25th ult. at Charlotte, and the last of Hood's army of 12,000 strong passed through Augusta on the 19th to join Beauregard. Georgetown has been evacuated, and is now in possession of the Federals. The steamer Arago received off Charleston on the 26th, news of the burning of Columbia, and of the Federal occupation of Augusta. The Charleston correspondent of the Herald, on the 26th, announces that official news has been received that Sherman had burnt Columbia in retali ation for his troops being fired upon from the houses. The Herald correspondent at Hilton Head, on the 26th, does not confirm the capture of Augusta. Charlotte papers denounce the shelling of Colum bia by Sherman without warning, and before the women and children had left the town. Several citi zens were shot down after the occupation. Charlotte despatches of the 25th report that no alarm was felt there. The direction in which Sherman is moving is not stated, but he is supposed to be making a flank movement. The weather and the condition of the roads interfere with military, movements. Sherman's head-quarters are at Columbia. The Herald thinks that the Southern despatches show that Sherman, after sending Beauregard, Hardee, and Bragg upon a false scent to the north ward, has moved to the east to form a junction with Scofield from Wilmington. The Richmond Examiner inveighs against the idea that the evacuation of Richmond would not damage the Confederacy, and declares that it would result in the loss of all respect for the authority of the Confederate Government, the disintegration of the army, and the abandonment of the scheme of the Southern Confederacy. The Enquirer says that the enemy have lately thrown their forces across the lines of easy congres sional retreat, since when the members of Congress have left Richmond, one by one, until only the skeleton of the legislature remains, which is rapidly diminishing to a number of members insufficient to form a quorum. If the President is firm and does not imitate the congressional example he will be esteemed as the founder of a new people and his name will be written with Washington, Tell, and Alfred. Should he, however, abandon his post, his .torical instances can be found to illustrate his disgrace. The Sentinel says, in view of the opening of the campaign by two armies destined to wrestle for Richmond as the prize, it would be proper to put the capital into fighting trim, and recommends the departure of useless non-combatants and consumers. Grant has marched his troops out of Hatcher's Run, it is supposed to make another effort to gain the south aide of the railroad. The condition of the roads, however, has caused the temporary abandon ment of the movement. The Petersburg Express of the 25th believes that an important battle will be fought within two or • three days. It is reported that Sheridan has sent an expedi tion to ascertain if preparations are making for Lee to fall back upon upon Lynchburg. Forrest has assumed the command of the cavalry. in Mississippi, east of Louisiana and west of Ten nessee, and threatens to exterminate all Confederate stragglers, robbers, and deserters. President Lincoln, in replying to the committee informing him of his re-election, acknowledged with gratitude that the people continued to have confi dence in him, and he accepted the trust with its yet onerous and perplexing duties and responsibilities. President Lincoln has approved the Fortifications Bill, the appropriations for which have been reduced to half their original amount. The Senate has passed the Loan Bill. The House of Representatives have passed a bill, to become valid on April 1, increasing the duties on liquors and spun silk, and imposing a duty of sc. per lb. on raw cotton, 20c. on crude petroleum, loc. on coal oils, 15c. per lb. on tobacco stems, 50c. per cwt. on railroad iron, increasing the tonnage duty to 30c., and repealing the act forbidding the expor tion of guano from the islands discovered by the Americans. A privateer steamer, mounting six guns, was re ported off the western extremity of Cuba on the 9th ult. The steamers Moravian, Edinburgh, New York, and Pennsylvania have arrived out. NEW YORK, March 2, Evening. Gen. Johnstone has issued an order, dated Char lotte, Feb. 25, assuming the command of the army of Tennessee, and of all troops in the department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. He says he takes command with strong hope, because he will be assisted in council on the field by the talents and skill of the general he succeeds. The New York Daily News estimates Joluistone's army at 90,000 men. --- The Richmond Inquirer says—" The air is filled with alarming rumours. Every fear has found voice, every ear is opened to its tale." Measures of precaution are considered to presage disaster. At a mass meeting of the people resolutions were passed declaring their unalterable purpose to achieve independence. The message of the Governor of Georgia opposes the arming of the slaves. They do not wish to enter the army. They are now restrained by fear. If they leave the enemy will make them fight. They will desert by thousands. tim,.R-CURLING FLUID, 248, High Holborn, tt„lea,l'ondon.—ALEX. ROSS'S CURLING FLUID curbLda, 64 !Getlemen's hair immediatel it is app.icd.
