LONDON, MONDAY. MARCH 1, 1852.

Very speedily we hope to witness the restitution
of Captain PENNY to official favour (if he. ever pos-
sessed it) through the generous interposin f
the
, presi
o
d d
new Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
over by his Grace the Duke of NOIITHUMBEHLA:gD.
e
By so doing their Lordships will the most readily
and the most effectually secure popularity to them..
selves, while they will rectify a very cruel act of in-
justice perpetrated by their predecessors to a deserving
and energetic officer. Upon a re-examination of the
inquiry, as given even in the distorted report of the
"Blue Book," we feel assured that the uncalled-
for severity displayed towar(!s Captain PENNT, when
he was in truth praiseworthy rather than culpable,
"then he was entitled to commendation rather than
to condemnation, must become forthwith apparent.
We ourselves have judged the facts of the case from
no partial statemer.`, c.hatsoever. The argument
maintained by us in these columns, was maintained
long before the pamphlet referred to in our leading
article of last Friday evening had made its appearance
—befora the " Blue Book" which that brochure is
intended to explain had been published—before even
One syllable of the investigation before the Arctic
Commission had come to our own knowledge or to
that of the general community. We insisted, in
fact, that the culpability of the return rested with
oaptain CaptainAtJeTl,N, an_ no. w;.t,,aNNY—irnme-
tlle..fotrn er ba.l ins.srted in the public
diately atter
journals his ver,len of tee nov7 well-known corre-
spondence. Our opinion of the roettcr wag, thf refore,
as dispassionate as it Was prompt and plain-spoken.
We conceived ourselves called upon, k+ as one among the
recognised censors of every grievance affecting the
Population, to pronounce captain AUSTIN "in the
wrong," and this solely from a considera-
tion of the circumstances
given to the world
by himself on his return to England from his
