LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 9.

No ewe can be surprieed that the painful
rumours which have for none tune been in circa-

lotion respecting Tummies and appointments in
important offioss held under the Potent Commie-
Manors and the House of Lords, should have been

made the subject of explanation in that Hoes.
Nor could any other seam be looked for than
a Committee should be sought by the LORD CHAN-
eILLOIL to investigate fully into the circumstances
to which the rumours and his personal explana-
tion referred. Matters so grave °mad not be din-

paged of by individual statements, and the alterna-
tive lay only between unsupported denials of the
charges or the demand of a tribtuial which could
thoroughly examine them. It is satisfactory that
the Lose CHANCELLOs has chosen the latter alter-
native. We cannot doubt that the result will be
to establish tlfe correctness of all the statements
which ha made to the Hones the other right. But
the question will still remain whether, even in
that event, he can be acquitted of bloats. And

the issue involves more than mere personal indie-
cretion or error of judgment : it affects the purity of
the publicserrioe on the one hand, and tha protection

due to the character of public amen and on the other,
the confidence which we repose in the integrity of
the members of the Government, in whose hands
the patronage of lumative and important appoint-
ments is vested. We do not, therefore, in any

degree prejudge the deliberatiMui of the Lord.'
Committee on the evidence which they will collect
when we invite attention to the nature of the de-

fano. which the Loan CHANCIALOR has put forward
for his own conduct, mourning its truth to be un-
impeachable, and taking every fact as stated by
his own lips.
There is an old office in the Court of Chancery
called the Clerk of Patents, which was bald prior
to 1862 by Mr. Lot:mann Enou2no, and from
which he could only be removed by the joint de-
cision of the LORD CHANCELLOR and two of the
Judges of the Court of Chancery. In that year a
second office was created, called the Clerk of the
Commissioners of Patenta, the appointment to
which was assigned to the Conuarnicoers, the
LORD CHANCELLOR being their chief. Lord ST.
LBOIARDS, when holding the seals, con-
joined the two offices, and consequently Mr.
EDMUNDS did the duties of both. Oa report of
irregularities on the part of that gentleman, Lord
WESTBURY, early in 1864, appointed Mr. HlND-
auscH, Q.C., and the Solicitor of the Treasury as
commission of inquiry. They reported that be
bad failed to pay into the Treasury fees amounting
to 2,6811., and added that the facto seemed to
justify, if not to require, hie immediate removal
from the joint offices. Thereupon, the Loan
CH►NCELLOR consulted his brother Commissioners

of Patents, who agreed with him that the regular
procedure for malversation of office should be in-
stituted against Mr. En nn before the tribunal,
consisting of the LORD CHANCELLOR and two Equity
Judges, which bystatute had jurisdiction in regard
to his original office. This was intimated to Mr.
Ennurros. He declared that he had • complete
answer to the charge brought against him. He
had previously written that he "courted and re-
" quired the fullest investigation into every
" single point in his conduct ;" yet the LORD
CHANCELLOR tells us that on being summoned
before the Equity Judges he solicited pa-
rathion to resign his Patent alicee. Lord
WEETBLYILY consulted the MASSES of the Roue,
and, with his concurrence, aseepted the resignation,
conditionally on Mr. EDMUNDS undertaking to
account for all the money that had passed through
his hands. The formal surrender, on these terms,
was sent in on the 30th of July lad. But Mr.
EDMUNDS happened to hold, besides the two
Patent offices, that of Reading Clerk in the House
of Lords, and when accepting the resignation of
the former Lord Warrsuar added that he would
consult Lords KINOSDOWN and CRANWORTH RS to
what he should do about the latter. Mr. Bo- I
MUNDS requested delay in this matter till he should
put in his answer to the charge made against him
in regard to the Patent office, and the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR acceded. During the vacation Mr. En-
MUNDE put in his answer, and paid 7,872/. as in fall
acquittal of all hisdefaleations. B utin January there
was a further report by the commissioners of
in-
quiry which brought the amount due by him up to
a further sum of 9,1001., but this was disputed by

Mr. Kommsne. Hen 1
Government. They were .
facts should be laid before
affecting the character
NUMMI, on this resolut
first requested a few days' delay, .
the CR4LNOELLos, for presentation to the House, •
resignation of his office, sooompanied with a peti-
tion for a retiring salary on the ground of his long
service and unblemished, character as Reading
Clerk. This petition the Lou, Onexcxmos pre-
seated without comment ; it was referred to a
'tending Committee of the House, of which he is
ex-officio • member ; he did not attend the Coin-
mikes, nor make any communication to it, and on
• search for precedents it reported that 8001. •
year should be granted as retiring petition to Mr.
Fontfirre. This was confirmed by the House.
There were thus three offices vacant. Two of them
were at once filled up by the appointment
of the Loam Cnurouroa's own eon, or,
as he express. it, "his relative," who has
till now held the appointment of Registrar in
one of the doomed Courts of Benlauptcy. The
third office the Loan Csairouros takes credit for
not filling up, though it was in his own gift, and
the most valuable. But it is the office of Clerk
of Commissioners of Patents, which, if we read the
statute aright, is in the gift of the Commissioners
as • body, not of any one among them ; it was oter
joined by Lord Sr. La.:awns with that of Clerk
of Paiute ; sod whatever alterations may be
made in the duties by the Act to be introduced,
there is no doubt that it will ultimately be con-
feared on the individual who holds the conjoined
office, already bestowed on Mr. SUNOS'S Busuz.
Now what do the facts, thus detailed oo the
LORD ORLNCiLLOR'S own showing, amount to ?
Firstly, that • servant of the Crown, charged with
embezzling monies to a great extent,' admitting
the charge to the extent of 7,0001., but disputing
it as to the remaining 9,0001., is not brought be-
fore thetribunal which the Legislature has assigned
for trial of such charges, but is allowed by the Loan
Catexcluaoa to evade the statutory direction
by resigning. Secondly, that a servant of the
House of Lords, paid by the House out of funds
which it receives from the public teethe transaction
of public' buena'', lying under charges of dis-
honesty, which the CEA/musks is told by Govern-
ment he k bound to state to the House, sends his
resignation to the Cnairczuoa, who thereupon
keeps back the charges, presents the petition, and
allows a pension for good services to be voted by a
I House ignorant of the facts which the Ministry had
I declared it ought to know. The LORD CELNCWir
LOR argues that because, in the find case, the Law
Officers of the Crown decided that there was not
ground for a criminal prosecution, he was justified
in emoting the resignation on a mere pledge to
restore what was due. But the Legislature has
not made either the law officers, or the LORD CHAN.
curoa, or the Mums of the Roma, whom he
consulted, the judge of such a matter. It
has made the Lotto Qum:auks, sitting
with two other judges, the tribunal to
decide on it. That tribunal could bars
enabled, or condemned Mr. Romortne. Bet the
LORD CHANCELLOR defies the Legislature when he
withdraws, at his own hand, a matter from the
consideration of the tribunal it has created. No
lees imperfect is his defence on the wooed head.
He says that when Mr. RDIII7/1116 resigned his
Home of Lords office it would have been ungene-
rous to have produced the information respecting
his defalcations in another office. But Mr. RD-
sauna net only resigned--he presented, through
the LORD CHAICRILOZ'S own hands, a petition for
• potion, and still the Loan CRLSORZLOS was
silent. If he was bound—end his colleagues said
he was bound--to prevent Mr. EDMUNDS' con-
tinuance, with • tainted character, in an office in
the House, surely he was equally baud to prevent
his reosipi, whiz character uncleared, of a pension.
Lord WEIRTUST says the pension may be with-
drawn. So might the office ; but it was that the
House might judge of the propriety of withdraw-
ing the office that the information was due ; and
it could be no lees due when the question
was of granting the peados. He says he will not
insinuate that the Committee was hasty in grant-
ing the pension ; but as the circumstances were
notorious, be thought it extremely probable the
Committee would have made inquiries. Is this
the LORD CRI.NOILLOR'S measure of his fellow-
Peers' courtesy and confidence in himself f He
presents • petition for a pandas, and he thinks it
probable the Peers will inquire whether it is not
fora man whom he knew to be dishonest and dis-
graced. But though we may snow him to be a
proper judge of what ethers should have done,
we cannot accept his verdict of acquittal of him-
self. Having information respecting the guilty
conduct of a public officer, he took on himself to
allow that officer to evade legal trial. Having
information material for the guidanoe of
his brother Peers, he acted as though
he had it not, and led them to act as they
would not have acted had he disclosed it. In
thus judging him out of his own mouth, we do no
wrong, either to the gentleman whom be incul-
pates, or to the "relative" whose name is asso-
ciated in the question. The former may yet re-
tract his resignation, demand • public trial, and
prove his innocence. But his innocence will not
relieve the CMANCRILOS, who bases his own ex-
culpation on the presumed guilt of Mr. EDKIIRDS.
Mr. SLINGSBT Bsranza, we doubt not, will be an
efficient officer in all his departments, but it is his
fortune to belong to a family of which all the
members are appointed to good offices, and it is
his misfortune that the public cannot easily believe
that all these office-holders are better men than
those who are displaced, or than those whose
years and service might give them a higher claim
to such promotion.

Tan Erma Snows AT Wasanurrow.—Tbe
announcement in a recent telegram that President
Lincoln had convoked the Senate of the United
States for an extra session on the 4th inst. has
given rise to a certain amount of speculation, partly
founded on the control over the foreign relations of
the Executive which the constitution gives to that
body. It may be useful, therefore, to state that
these extra sessions of the Senate are the rule, sot
the exception, after each biennial renewal of Con-
gress, while to the role under which they take place
after every Presidential election—which is the pre-

A letter from Rome in the Corriere della Mc

has the following :
Ws asserted that the Ambassador of Fromm has an-
-106110114 offleially to the Pops the ooming depertees Si a
brigade of the corps of occupation, which event is to bake
place after the Faster holidays, and that the Rama pro.
vises to be so evaenated will be that el *limbo. It is
affirmed that the Pope received this news with the shame
indifference.
The Correspondencia di Roma quotes the follow-
ing words which, it says, were addressed by M.
Guttierez to the Archduke Maximilian during the
sojourn of the Mexican deputation at Miramar :
Above all, we are catholic. We approve Si a tnonareby
booms we believe it is more favourable to religion ; but we
prefer a republic a thousand Yaw, with all its dangers, to a
meearohy which would oppress sad hamper ear faith by
giving us that undflated or edited catholisimn which is
WM/API by other matinee, bat which we cannot endure.
