LONDON, MONDAY. JUNE 26.

Ws published on Saturday the report of the
second Committee which has sat during this .seater
to consider the character of the Loan Ciwecruon's
appointments to the public offices in his gift. Be.
mein the cases investigated at the commencement
and at the close of the session there are certain
points of resemblance. In both, the office vacated
wee held by a person against whose conduct
charges bad been brought which. in the LORD
CaLlicsa.Loa's opinion, demanded public investiga-
tion. In both the charges were not pressed, on
the accused sending in his resignation, and in
both a pension was bestowed upon him without
further inquiry after the resignation was received.
In both, members of the LORD CHANCELLOR'S
family took an interest, direct or indirect, in the
new appointments consequent on such resigna-
tion. In both the Loan Cnsircauon opposed
only hie own denial to the evidence which tended to
provethat this sequenee of event+ held the relation of
canes and effect, and in both the Committee, ac-
cepting that denial, have reporietd that his lord-
ship must be absolved from the imputation of
" improper motives," however reprehensible hi,
actual conduct is adjudged to have been. Such

- -
are the common features of the two cues, more
- - - - •

than doubled in peculiarity by the circumstance
that they hare thus twice occurred. We now pro-
ceed to outline the distinctive history of the case
which has last been the subject of inquiry.

In the early part of last year certain charges of
misappropriation of public monies were stated by
official oommisaioners against Mr. Verrnr., Regis-

tsar of the Court of Bankruptcy at Leeds. The
LORD CaLitcmion, on the report of these gentle-
men, decided to call on Mr. WILDE to show cause
in open court why he should not be dismissed.
This resolution was communicated by Mr. Maim,
Chief Registrar in Bankruptcy, in a letter to Mr.
WILDE, dated 26th June, 1864, but in which he
stated that it was to take effect, " unless I hear
" from you in course of post, that you
4' mean to apply to be allowed to retire."
And he added that it was reported that Mr.
WILDS'S state of health was each as to enable him
to procure a medical certificate entitling him to
retire on a pension ; " and if this be so, I sincerely
"trust, for your own sake, that you will see the
"propriety of relieving the CHANCILLOR from the
" very disagreeable—and, indeed, painful—duty
"which is thrust upon him." The first part of
this letter Mr. Massa declares was written by the
Loan CHANCILLOit'II directions ; the suggestion
about • medical certificate, and the accompany-
ing hint he admits were his own. The Crux
csizon, on the other hand, denies having autho-
rised anything to be said respecting retiring, but he
admits, " It is just possible I may have said to
"Mr. Massa in conversation, unless he retires I
"shall have no alternative but to bring him before
"the court." But the LORD CHANCELLOR, while
making this admission of its being " just possible"
sat be held such language, declares that he meant
retiring without a pension ; Mr. Miura, on
other hand, declares he understood a
pension to be meant, and no means exist
of deciding between the two "understand-
' logs." At any rate, the medical certificate
,►as procured and laid before the CHANCELLOR,
who sanctioned the pension upon it. And he said
did this without reading the certificate, for if
Ae bad read it he should not havethought it satisfac-
tory. Mr. Miura asserts that he drew the
r)narrcxxxou's attention to the fact that it was un-
satiafactory ; but this his lordship " cannot re-
" member." Undoubtedly, however, the public
will agree with the Committee that " the pension
was granted hastily and without due considera-
tion, and that such haste and want of caution
necessarily gives rise to a suspicion that a
vacancy in the office is the object sought, rather
than justice to the officer or the public." And
they will probably also think that the mere ad-
mission of the CHANCELLOR that he declared he
aunt have a public inquiry unless the accused re-
signed, and that on the accused resigning he
allowed him a pension, without taking the trouble
see that he was entitled to it under the statute,
and when in fact he wasnot so entitled, makes the
judgment of the Committee, that "no improper
motives are in this instance imputed to the
• Crum:camas," at least a charitable construe-
lion of the facts.

that
..:_

The vacancy being made, it was now to be
filled up. And here, though again the Loan
Citaxceizos is relieved from imputation, occurs
a miss of transactions which the Committee, find-
ing their own powers inadequate to the demands
of justice, declare ought to be judicially investi-
gated. Mr. WELCH was the person appointed to
the vacanly. He declares that he "lent" 5004
on May 6, 1864, and further sums amounting in i
all to 1,0501. by April 30, 1865, to the Honour- ,
able RICHARD Bernau, in the hope th►t that
person would use iofiuenoe with his father to pivi-
cure the " lender" a public appointment. The
Honourable RACHARD Brrair.x. admits that he
told Mr. Wewn that he would speak in his favour
" if he saw any reasonable chance of succeeding."
but that beyond that he made no promise. Of
course there was no reason he should ; the bribe
Was offered only for influence wham it could be
inteoesatul, not for a barren mouton of a name in a
hopeless case. These circumstances, admitted by the
principals, are further explained by a Mr. HARDING,
vicar of St. Ann's, Wandsworth, who acted as Mr.
Bermates " friend "in the matter. Betwesn the
two "friends" &ends", neitbroinpneit awry- petty

work on the Cnatreamon, trying .
give his son morns office. The Committee say that
up to the 22nd February the CHANCELLOR had
peremptorily refused, but that on that dey "he
" appears to have held out some expectation that
"he would consider the matter (of a country
" appointment) if Mr. R. BErnaxx weld obtain
" reties') from all his creditors." On this idea
Mr. Mamas prepared two forms of appointment,
one of Mr. Waxen to the London Registrarship,'
another of Mr. Him= to theLseds Registrarship.
Next day Mr. Bern= went down to Leeds, saw
Mr. WELCH, and it came to be publicly understood
that the proposed arrangement would be carried
into effect. But on the 26th the Onancriumi
heard something of his son's conduct in Paris, and
Intimated that he would give him no office.
Hence the appointments, though drawn up
were never in point of fact submitted for
his signature. The Curateamon. &clues be
never authorised, or even saw them. Mr.
Milian, who prepared them, says he had
not the Cita:realizes authority for so doing, but be [
also says thit lie never bad prepared any other
appointments without the Cliancsixon's exprrie
directions. It therefore remains a mystery, us
solved by the Committee, how it came to peas that
the proposed arrangement of the transfer of Mr.
Waxen and the appointment of Mr. Barium,
should be known to everybody at Leeds as a
positive certainty, and should have reached the
stage of completion except in the matter of formal!
signature, while still the CHANCRLLOR remained in
profound ignorance of the subject, and cons')-
quently free from "the imputation of any improper I
" motives."
There is, among such a mass of confused and
contradictory statements and m;sunderstandings,
only one point which is tolerably clear. It in
that offices in the public service in the gih
of the Keeper of the Royal Conscience are
considered by all parties the natural and proper
method of provision for that personage'sl
family. When Mr. R. Biminn was penniless and
penitent the prayer of the prodigal's friends was
not that he might be as one of the servants in his
father's house, but that he should be provided
with a fat appointment in the service of the
country. Who is to blame I Is the crime to be
visited upon one man who is only a few degrees
more nepotic than other holders of office 1 Or is
not rather that corruption of public opinion to be
chiefly blamed which tolerates the rule, that a
bishop shall be justified in giving his richest base-
fioss appended to the cure of souls to his son or eos-
in-law, that a minister may bestow his best appoint-
ments on his nearest relations, and that a judge
may fill every office in his court with members
of his own family ? When we have learned to re-
gard all these arrangements as in truth flagrant
breaches of public duty ; violations of that sacred'[
trust which confides to men high in place the nowi• [
nations to the offices in the national service, in
order that they may be given to those who have
deserved best of the country, and can best perform
their duties, then we shall have earned the right to
reprove Lord Chancellor WESTBURY as we now re-
probate Lord Chancellor BACON. Till that standard
of public sentiment is reached we can only say that
in a black flock he is a somewhat duskier sheep.

A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday at the
official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury,
in Downing-street. The ministers present were
—Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Sir
George Grey, Earl Russell, the Right Hon. Ed-
ward Cardwell, Earl de Grey, Sir Charles Wood,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of
Somerset, the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson, Lord
Stanley of Alderley, the Earl of Clarendon, and
the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers.

THE LORD CHANCELLOZ'S MISFORTDNEL—Ws
have endeavoured to trees emelt parts of these remarkable
transactioos as are beyond dispute ; but around them is an
infinite coil of contradictory statements. The important
witeeeses examined by the committee were only some half-
a-dozen, and on two of them agreed together. Everyone
w.s eoetradieted by everybody isles. Mr. Miller, for
example—sad we take him not because we think him better
or worm than the others—is contradicted by the Lord
Chancellor, by Mr. Hairy Wilde, by Mr. Charlie Wilde, by
Mr. Bkirrow, and by himself ; and when hie books were
examined as a corroboration of his stetemeet they were
found full of alterations and erasures, giving rise to grave
suspicions. As smatter of mathematical theory it is im-
probable that Mr. Miller should be always aomirate when',
be is oontredicted by everyone with whom he comae into
contact ; but this remark applies with almost equal force to
the Lord Chancellor, to Mr. Bothell, and to Mr. Weigh.
Take the facts, however, as they are stated, sod what •
revelation do they make 1 The Lord Chancellor bestows
his patronage oil those who are most fit for it, just as the
Duke of York gays away commissions in the army, and be-
hind his back is Mary Asa Clarks. in the shape of his sea,
receiving a consideration for the gifts. Mr. Welsh is a
barrister of considerable standing, sod does not scruple to

upon the tuggestion of the chief registrar acting as tan

which the Lord Chem:slim says be never could haws
read or he would not have allowed the postai*.
The chief registrar, who says that he milled
the attention of the Chancellor to the certifies* so
far presumed on his knowledge of the good nature of Ms
chief as to draw up three appointments to registrarshlps
without authority from him. It is most unfortunate for
Lewd Westbury that his subordinates should have been so
officious, and that his son should have misled him, but it is

day afternoon, General and Mn. Tom Thumb, with their

Minnie Warne, arrived at Windsor Osetle for the purpose
of giving a performance before the members of the royal
family. On reaching the coati* they were conducted to me
of the private sego apartments, koown as the " Reborn
Boom," on the north side of the palace, and where for
many years the theatrical perform:nee took place. In this
room their Royal Highnessee Princesses Louise sod Beatrice
and Prince Leopold were seated In front of the platform,
surrounded by the ladies sad gentlemen of the court.
The performance commenoed shortly before 4 o'clock,
being opened by Mrs. Tom Thumb with a song, "My
Native Land." This was followed by " inipersoca.
Moos of Bally O'Ftoturke" and " Napoleon Bonaparte" by
General Tom Thumb. Mrs. Stratton, the general's wife

the doubling of the prim paid for standing ground,
which the company consented to, and by the clause
stipulating that all the homes should be fed within
the line of the fortifications, thereby augmenting
the octroi duties the revenue of the city derived
from cabs was raised from 313,189 fr. to 1,230,000 fr.
This letter may very probably shift a good deal of
blame from the company to the city and the govern-
ment, which enabled the city to do as it like*, but
does not show that the interests of the public have
been oared for. That question is likely to be dis-
cussed a great deal more yet.
MM. Bethmont and Diolier, members of the
Corps Legialatif, have written a joint note to the
papers denying the accuracy of the report of a dif-
ference between them in the lobby of a house.
They admit that there was an altercation, after
which each party named two friends, but these
friends, after conferring, were unanimously of
opinion that nothing insulting bad been said on
either side, and that the affair should go no further.
M. Erdan, writing to the Temps from Naples on
June 19, quotes the following passage from a letter
(written in Italian) from Rome on the 17th :
Do not believe In the rupture of negotiations of the four
points The oath ;2. The return of the exiled bishops ;
3. Dimisation of the umber of bishoprics ; 4. Bale of oer•
Min melesientioal property. The first sloes presents any
difficulty. But both Pope sad King an too sisioemly bent
upon coming to as andeestaadlmi for the negotiations to be
broken off on this head. In all probability the King will
give way ; if his ministers absolutely require the oath it is
thought here that the ministry will be changed. What W.
de Sadism was reported to base said at Naples about the
positive engagement of the BMus government toliranee to
make all passible comossuioas for the sake of an agreement,
is strictly time.
M. Erdan attaches importance to the above,
which, as he observes, coincides with the positive
though somewhat premature declarations of the
Pays a few days ago. I take the facts to be, when
stripped of official circumlocution, that the French
government has " ordered" Victor Emmanuel to
make up his differences with the Pope, and
that his Holiness, seeing his advantage,
has determined to exact terms which the King of
Italy cannot grant without losing his popularity
with his own subject,. When French official jour-
nalist& say that an understanding is certain, they
only moan that M. Dronyn de Lhuys calculates
that the pressure he has put upon Victor Emmanuel
must force him to yield. Neither the interests nor
the wishes of the Italiao4r Roman people are made
any account of in the diplomatic game. No won-
der that the Pope is in good spirits, and is reported
to have said, " Italian conservatives, be of good
cheer."

The declaration be this ere alleged that the defendant had
assaulted and imprisoned the plaintiff ; that the defendant,
being the comoneding Aker of the 2nd Regiment of Life
Guards. had maliciously procured the plaintiff to be dis-
charged from the position of a soldier in that regiment, aid
there wee also • count far the detention of tome dollies.
The defendant pleaded 804 guilty by statute, justification,
and to the last count adman' of thedeteation of the clothes,
and of the fact that the clothes belonged to the plaintiff.
Mr. Warsliand Mr. Oahe appeared for the plaintiff ;
and Mr. Bo Q.C., Mr. Brett, Q.C.. and Yr. Chillies
Leigh for the indent.
Mr. Wonley said that this ease was one of considerable
importans, not only to the plaintiff but to every soldier in
the British anny. The plaintiff had, in 1852, enlisted le
the 2nd Life Guards ter 12 plus, he obtained two good
modern badges., and on the 'zonation of his period of
service he enlisted far 12 yeats more. In July, last year,
the minuet waist Windsor, and antis 11th of that moth
• complaint was made by • foreigoet, earned Ante, that
he had best robbed of a cigar ens is the Broad-walk by
• good conduct soldier of the 2ed Life Glaris. The dr
holden, after making an inquiry Into the matter, placed
the plaintiff under arrest, and afterwards eased him to he
dismissed the service, sotwithstaning evidence which the
plaintiff bad produced, and more evidence which he offered
to produce to show that he wee not the man who
Moles the cigar ewe. It was contended that Oh'
C 3111.00 was nob the one which should have hese
partned but that, according to the Articles of War, the
defendant should have mod his " ntaicet sodeavons to
deliver over such noosed porno to the civil
inti •
or, at all events, that ths plaff should have been=b,
before a court-martial,and been fairly tried. What was
done that the plaintiff was brought before a
regimental board, in accordance with an radar d
the defendant, and incanted, although the law woe
that such a board bad so power to anted any punish-
ment or forfeiture of service." Upon his discharge, the
plaintiff received a certificate that he was " discharged
consequence of the regiment having no further occasion fir
his unities," and this certificate was not countersignlDf
an officer in the adjutant-genres deCertainot, in aze
'ace with the Queen's regulations. The leaned ceased
oonteeded that these irregularities of wend*
were snob that the jug would be fully justified to
infen tog that the defendant bad acted maliciously, d
therefore that the present action for damages would lie. As
to the list man in the declaration, the clothes sought to
be recovered were the plaintiff's own private clothes.
Jobs Freer, the plaintiff, said he enlisted in Jainism
1863. [The selletmeet paper was put in, the terms
Hetiling that
the plaintiff enlisted for 12 yens " provided her Majesty

ing of the 11th July, Le, with about 15 other soldiers, was
pa add They were all soldiers, with two good endue%
badges. He did not at that time know that there was
any complaint against soy soldier. Several soldiers were
questioned. W hen his turf came, the defendant
asked him where he had been or the previous seem-
ing. Witness detailed where be had bees, and hav-
ing dons so he minted the colossi and walked away,
as the other men had done. Ho got to his room, sad sat
down to dinner. There was a stranger with the calomel,
whom whom now knew to be Arotz. The orderly of the
colonel followed witness to his room, and witness went
back with him to the colonel, who mid, " This is
the man I want." He told the other men they
could go away. He asked witness what he had gone
awey. for, sod he said he was for duty at 2 o'elma
(it berg then half-put 1), and he thought he would go
away as the others had dose. The colonel mid, " Yoe see
these men have not goes awn," and wines' said, " No,'
en, they had to be paraded." The colonel looked at wit-
ness for two minutes and said, " It looks vary
Bedsit you." Witness begged his pardon gati:
he thought be had given • salinfanc4 11■10sat
of where he had been, and that ha was prepared
