Y to do justice to the public, the Right

Hon. Gentleman is doing great injury to several indi
viduals.

We have seen no reason, to praise Mr. GOULBURN'S
diligence in this matter from the, first. He might have
procured the appointment of the Commission in
February as well as in April. The Commis-
sion was authorised to report its proceedings
from time to time, and Mr. GOULBURN might hay(
made himself master of the results as the inquiry went
on. He might have read the Report as soon as it was
prepared, and might have been, had he used due dili-
gence, ready to state his views on the subject to the
House as soon as the Report came into the hands of the
Members. He might, therefore, with little exertion,
and by protracting the session a week, have at once set-
tled the question, and ddne justice to the innocent hold-
ers of the forged Government bills. But from the com-
mencement of this unpleasant affair the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman has delayed and procrastinated as if there were
something which he hoped might be concealed, when the
public had forgotten all the circumstances of the trans-
action.

RAPALLO, it appears, was called before the Exchequer
Bill Commission, and gave evidence in some respects un-
favourable to certain parties. Ile also gave the Commis
sion an account of the property he has acquired by the
frauds. He was residing at Calais, and seems to have
a very considerable property left in the shares of various
Companies.

We have just received the Report of the Commis-
sion to inquire into the Exchequer Bill affair. After
a patient and laborious investigation, the Commis-
sioners divide the holders of those Bills into four
classes, and report generally and summarily of them
as follows :

Class I.—As to the first class, consisting of the whole
of the parties above mentioned, with the exception of
those that will be hereafter particularized, we certify
that we find them upon the evidence to have become re-
spectively the holders of the bills with which they are
connected, in the usual course of business, and without
knowledge or suspicion that they were other than ge-
nuine, or had been improperly obtained by any person
whatever, and under circumstances which warrant no
inference of their having acted with want of proper
caution.
Class IL—As to the second class, consisting of the
following parties, viz, Sir James Shaw, Bart., and
Messrs. R. and W. Hichens and Harrison, we find them
to have become respectively the holders of the bills with
which they are connected, in the usual course of busi-
ness, and without knowledge or suspicion that they were
other than genuine, or had been improperly obtained by
any person whatever. But circumstances appear upon
the evidence which tend to raise some doubt upon the
question, whether these parties have acted or not with
want of proper caution: If that question were left to our
judgment, we should decide that there is not upon the
whole sufficient ground for such an imputation against
either of them.
CLASS lII.—As to the third class, consisting of Messrs.
Ransom and Co., Messrs. Price and Co., Mr. John Wray
Scott, Mr. H. Tomkins, and Mr. L. Levy, we also find
them upon the evidence to have become respectively the
holders of the bills with which they are connected in the
usual course of business, and without knowledge or sus-
picion that they were other than genuine, or had been
improperly obtained by any person whatever. But cir-
cumstances exist in the case of all these patties,
which appear us to occasion more difficulty- upon the
question with regard to want of proper caution, than
arises with respect to the second class; and we feel too
much doubt upon. that question as concerns the class
now under consideration, to be able to submit to your
Majesty any opinion of our own upon the subject.
CLASS IV.—We now arrive at the consideration of
the fourth and last class, in which we place William
Mariner, Francis Towneley De Berckem, William -and
James Morgan, and Edward Lloyd Morgan : for of Ha-
pallo it is, of course, unnecessary to say anything further.
With respect to William Mariner, Francis Towneley
De Berckem, and William and James Morgan, it is our
duty to state that the evidence in relation to them, and
even that part of it (singly considered) which colsists of
their own statements, some of the most prominent re-
sults of which are noticed in the early part of this Re-
port, has impressed our minds with a doubt whether,_ at
the time when the bills with which they are respectively
connected, and which now form part of the subject of
our inquiry, came to their hands, they did not all sus-
pect that such bills had been obtained by Rapallo through
the medium of some fraud. And, on the other hand, we
entertain no doubt that, supposing any of them to have
been without such suspicion, he is at least chargeable
with want of proper caution in having become the holder
of the bills under the circumstances detailed in the evi-
dence.

With respect to Edward Lloyd Morgan we collect
that he had no personal interest in any of the transac-
tions in question, and negotiated the several bills which
he' received from the firm of William and James Morgan
in the capacity of their clerk or agent only; though, as
between him and the several parties to whom he de-
livered the bills, he was the ostensible negotiator. his
subordinate position with respect to the firm, and the
filial relation- in which he stood to the senior partner,
entitle him in some measure to more favourable con-
struction than the members of the firm themselves. But
he was, by his own admission, so well acquainted with
the nature and extent of their dealings with Solari and
Rapallo, and negotiated so many bills which he knew at
the time to have been received from those parties re•
spectively, that we feel ourselves obliged to express the
same douht with regard to him that we have above ex-
pressed with regard to his employers. There is, how-
ever, one case differently circumstanced from the rest,
we mean Case 1., in which the firm of William and
James Morgan appear to have had no concern whatever,
and in which he acted entirely on the private account
of Mr. Cook. In this particular case we feel no difficulty
in pronouncing Edward Lloyd Morgan clear from all
imputation either of fraud or negligence.

In the House of Lords on Monday Lord FORTESCUE
moved for certain returns, with a view to show that
crime had increased in Ireland since the accession of
the Tory Government. The Noble Lord followed in
the footsteps of Mr. O'CONNELL last week in the
House of Commons. He denounced the judicial
conduct of chief Justice PENNEFATHER at Armagh,
as that of an advocate for the Crown, rather
than a Judge ; and he censured the Irish
law officers of the Crown for employing spies
and informers as approvers in trials for Rib-
bonism. The Duke of WELLINGTON granted
the returns without any hesitation. His defence of
Judge PENNEFATHER he rested on the high character
of that distinguished Judge. With respect to the spy
HAGAN, the Duke of WELLINGTON said that an
n quiry had been ordered by the Govern-
ment, and that if it were found that he in-
veigled men into Ribbon Societies with the
knowledge of the Magistrates, such Magistrates
should be punished. We trust the inquiry will
be a searching one. We have not the least
doubt that if such be the case the number of Magis-
trates implicated will be very considerable. We
question, however, :whether the Tories will have the
courage and the public spirit to hold up to general re-
probation the conduct of their friends.

Lord PALMERSTON brought the question of the re-
ported withdrawal of the British army from Affghan-
istan, before the House of Commons on Monday. It
will be remembered that the Bombay papers brought
by the last Overland Mail, stated distinctly that it
was currently reported, and generally believed in
India, that Lord ELLENBOROUGH had given orders
for the speedy evacuation of Caubul, and the retreat
of the whole of. the British troops west of the Indus.
The Editor of the Calcutta Star, asserted that he had
himself seen a copy of such an order, which had been
iesned from the Adjutant-General's office. What
Lord PALMERSTON then wished the Premier to in.
form the House was, whether such an order
had been issued ; and to leave no doubt as to his own
impressions upon the subject, he expressed a hope
that the answer would be in the negative. Sir
ROBERT PEEL declined answering the question, on
the very reasonable ground that he might prejudice
the public service by so doing. There was at pre-
sent a British army at Candahar, and another at
Jellalabad, and as six or eight weeks would be suffi-
cient to convey any revelation which he might make
to the Affghan chiefs, be very properly declined to
give any answer to Lord PALMERSTON'S question.
Now the inference which we draw from the silence of
the Premier is, that the evacuation of Caubul is
resolved upon by the Indian Government. We quite
approve of this resolution, upon certain conditions, of
which the most important are that the prisoners be deli-
vered up without ransom ; that punishment be inflicted
upon the murderers of the Envoy, in the event of it
not being proved that he really plotted the seizure of
the Afghan chiefs ; and that hostages shall be given
us for the future amicable conduct of the Afghan
people, with facilities for trading with the several
tribes in their country. In the dethroning of the
Ameer DOST MOHAMED—in the occupation of their
cities and towns by British soldiers—and in the
treating the Sovereign, whom we set over them as a
mere puppet in the hands of an English Envoy at his
Court, we have inflicted upon them wrong as deadly
as any which they have retaliated upon us. The
Affghan war, begun, as we now learn from the private
papers recently published, in monstrous iniustiee on
our part, has already cost us seventeen millions sten
ling. To carry it on with any degree of spirit could
only be done at a monetary expense alone of three
millions sterling. Now, the worst of it is, that the
Afghans have neither gold, nor silver, nor precious
stones, to recruit our Treasury, should we beat them
,to our heart's content. The sacking of their capital
