NOTICE.

All remittances are, henceforth, to be made to
Mr. JOHN CHAPLIN, at The Sun office, 112,
Strand, who has been appointed, by the Lord
Chancellor, Receiver and Manager of The. Sun
newspaper, and the outstanding debts due in
respect thereof.

Between " A West Londoner" and " A Member
of the Thames Embankment Committee," the truth
has come out : and we doubt not, but that before
very much longer it will have prevailed. His
Grace the Duke of Mucci:Kum, it now appears—
and it appears with a clearness that removes the
simple statement of the fact beyond the reach of all
further contradiction—obtained the renewal of his
lease of Montagu House, in Whitehall Gardens,
about ten years ago, by what billiard players would
call a fluke. There was some uncertainty at first
as to who it really was that had signed the original
Treasury Minute granting this extraordinary bene-
faction—at the expense of the public—to the high and
mighty Duke of BUCCLEUCH and QUEENSBERRY.
What added rather ludicrously to.this uncertainty,
making the confusion worse confounded, was the
rather remarkable circumstance that the very states-
man who, it turned out afterwards, had himself
actually signed this unfortunate Treasury Minute,
was the one who formally brought the accusa-
tion of having signed it against his wholly inno-
cent successor in the responsible office of Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer. In unmeasured terms
of virtuous indignation, Mr. DISRAELI charged Mr.
GLADSTONE with having been guilty of this extra-
dinary dereliction of duty. As Chancellor of the
Exchequer Mr. DISRAELI, to his credit, be
it said, had declined to have anything what-
ever to do with the renewal of the lease of
Montagu House recognising, as he could
hardly fail to do, how seriously a renewal of
that lease would be calculated to militate against
the interests of the public at large in regard to the
great projected work of The Thames Embankment.
Startled by the haughty reprimand administered to
him by his predecessor, Mr. GLADSTONE at once
said that he would immediately look into the
matter ; avowing at the same time that he had no
recollection at all of having had anything, either
directly or indirectly, to do with the transaction.
Well, preposterous to relate, immediately Mr.
GLADSTONE had looked into the matter—what should
the " fact', of the matter turn out to be, but that the
Treasury Minate renewing the lease of Montagu
House for the personal advantage of the Duke of
BUCCLEUGH, the lease I •
nveighed against so deser-
vedly, and in such unmeasured terms of indignation,
by Mr. DISRAELI, had
been signed by Mr.,
DISRAELI and not by Mr. GLADSTONE! Here
wee a. veritable instance of the literal exemuntication
of Lord CASTLEREAGH'S ludicrous figure of speech
about a man turning his back upon himself! Mr.
DISRAELI, in this case of Montagu House and the
Duke of BUCCLEUCIT, had actually done it. Re
had signed the Treasury minute in the August of
1852—without having at the time the faintest
notion in the world of what he was doing. As
already remarked, he had positively refused before
then to renew the lease for the personal advantage
of even so eminent a subje3t of the Crown as the
Duke of BUCCLEUCH and QUEENSBERRY! And then
afterwards he had been deluded into stfiling his
signature to it. Whoever had contrived to obtain
the Minister's signature thus surreptitiously—
slipping the Treasury minute in amongst the pile of
miscellaneous documents then from day to day
requiring the authenticating scrawl of "B. Drs

RAF.Li"—had deliberately filched the concession
from the right hon. gentleman, in opposition to his
own previously and emphatically expressed decision
as Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Upon whomsoever the responsibility of
this very adroit transaction may rest, it
Is
certainly inconceivable that a great pa-
trician like
his grace, the Dike of BUCCLEUCH,
can regard otherwise than with feelings of surprise
and indignation, ' the- furtherance of his own interests
by any such singularly left-handed proceedings.
More especially, one would think, must the Duke
