TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sla,—We must particularly remark upon an individual
who was brought before the public notice by Sir limes
Graham. From our knowledge of this distinguished per •
son, we feel assured he will not only carry into office his
actormess, but will also preserve his high integrity. He
will not, as a Cabinet Minister, we trust lose eight of

Sir William Boothhy holds various situations which
plainly shows that some one of them cannot have

The office of the Keeper of the Great Seal is a complete
sinecure, having no duties whatever attached to it, but it
is a provision for poor ruined Noblemen. If men of great
property will dissipate it to embarrass themselves, why
should their extravagance be supplied by the public? It
is reported that the Duke of Gordon resigns this office—.
that it is not to be abolished, but that the Duke of Argyll
is to be his successor.
