LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1864.

Scarcely one hour had elapsed after the first
publication, in our earliest edition yesterday after.
noon, of the article in which we commented upon
the extraordinary impropriety of Mr. GLADSTONE'S
Conduct in officiously precipitating General GARD-
BALDI'S departure from England, when thst latest
Ministerial scandal—[we are certainly getting
enough of them !]—was formally brcught under the
Consideration of the House of Commons. The
hoe, member for Perth, addressing himself to
the tipeaker, referred to certain uncomfort-
able rumours afloat, these rumours namely
about Air.
uLADSTONE's interference with
General GARIBALDI'S arrangements—[upon the
score, forsooth
of the latter's health ! as if GARI-
BALDI were not old enough to take care of his own
health without being coddled by a Chancellor of
the Exchequer !"I—.B.ad
put it frankly to Mr. Speaker
whether it might not, really, be
,just as well if Mr.
GLADSTONE would offer the House a few words of
Explanation. Don't let it be forgotten, by the
Way, who the boa. mena'ozr for Perth is, what
position he occupies in regard to
RIBALLIS and
how far he has personally to do With GAItIEALDI'S
arrangements. The member for 'Perth ia, then, be
it said, the Hon. ARTHUR KmsAutt,.....who occu-

pies the pcsitior, ill regard to that extreor.
Binary fund now collecting, called the GARI.
BALDI Fund, who cccupie2, we say, the position, in
regard to that fund, of Treasurer, just as the position
of Vice-Chairman is occupied by Mr. SEELY, and
the position of Chairman by his Grace the Duke of
SUTFIERLAND. It is the Treasurer of the GARIBALDI
Fund, therefore, the immediate associate just now
(in reference to GARIBALDI) with such men as Mr.
EELY and the Duke of SUTHERLAND, a ho yester-
day, is the House of Commons, asked Mr. GLAD•
STONE, in the usual roundabout parliAmentary Way

--namely, through Mr. SPEAKER—whether he had
anything whatever to say for himself, either in
confirmation or in contradiction of these rumours
about his (Mr. GLADSTONE'S) personal interference
with GARIBALDI'S arrangements, with a view,
namely, to hasten, as abruptly and as quickly as
possible, GARIBALDI'S departure from England ?
Mr. GLADSTONE thereupon explains—he does not
contradict the rumour as to the fact of his interfer-
ence—he simply explains the nature of it. But—
how ? Why, by such an intolerable rigmarole, that
the hon. member for the County of Cork has to
get up and call the Chancellor of the Exche-
Tier to order ! It is only, you will say,
Mr. VINCENT SCULLY who calls to order—and
whom, you will add, does he call to order ? Why,
no less of a parliamentory personage than the Right
Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE. Yes—we will grant all
that—it seems ridiculous—BUT, while Mr. SCULLY
is the one calling to order, while Mr. GLADSTONE
is the one called to order, how does the House re-
ceive the interruption ? Observe—for the fact
is significant—with " loud cheering." With laugh-
ter if you will, the thing is so odd and out of the
way, but, together with that laughter, with "loud
cheering." Mr. GLADSTONE'S explanation--[why
in the name of fortune could he not answer a plain
question plainly and to the point, simply and to
the purpose ?]-11r. GLADSTONE'S explanation be-
ing so very much, indeed, in the way of a rigma-
role! The long and the short of Mr. GLADSTONE'S
explanation, after all, being, jest simply this—that
really and truly, the rumour was so far cor-
rect, that Mr. GLADSTONE had interfered,
had taken tender care of Gentril GARIBALDI'S
health, had been the principal means of hurrying
GARIBALDI out of England. The English of it all,
was that at any rate. So that by this time—in re-
gard to this extraordinarily sudden, this entirely
unlooked-for, surprising, confusing change, made in
the whole of GARIBALDI'S arrangements—we have
already had—what ?
The officiil paragraph in the Moniteur !
Lord PALMERSTON'S denial in the Commons !
Lord CLARENDON'S denial in the Lords !
Mr. FERGUSSON'S professional opinion!!
And—besides a number of other denials—
