NOTWITHSTANDING the questionable haste dis played in announcing the new candidate for the Throne of Greece, it seems not improbable that the selection may prove a fortunate one, and that the new proposal may in the end be carried into effect. There wee certainly a want of proper caution in announcing to the Greeks the candida ture of Prince WILLIAM before the conditions on which it depended could possibly be known, either to the Great Powers or to the Greeks themselves. But this act of indiscreet zeal will readily be over looked and forgotten if no serious obstacle should arise to prevent or delay the carrying es tpl a plan that promises to solve a rather dillooli sod perplexing problem. It was of oo right and proper that those who terested in the arrangement, the Dual meat and the family of Prince Wrurair, no loss than the Greek nation, should have to consider its bearings and form a deliberate judgment of the scheme before committing them mitres to its adoption. But there seems at present no rams to apprekeed that any serious difficulty will arise in thus quarters. The Greeks appear to be quite satisfied. For whatever reason, they desire a king, and under the guidance and direction of the Great Powers who have constituted them selves the guardians and protectors of the young Hellenic kingdom it is natural that their range of inquiry should be strictly limited to the royal families of Europe. If their future sovereign must be a Prince young and inexperienced, it would be difficult to find one in all respects more eligible than Prince WILLIAM of Denmark. The Danish Government offer no opposition to his candidature, while the ally condition they attach to it are, so far as they are known, perfectly simple, nebula, and just. The conditions recently suggested in the columns of the Dagblad, • lead ing Copenhagen journal, and which some of our contemporaries rashly attributed to the Danish Government, have no official authority whatever. They represent, no doubt, fairly enough the feelings and wishes of the Danish people ; but the Government, however completely one with the na tion in its earnest desire to secure a prompt and final settlement of the long dispute relating to the Duchies, would be hardly likely to adopt the summary and very doubt-1 ful expedient for this purpose which the popular voice, in a moment of excitement, suggests. While the Danish Government undoubtedly ren ders a service to Europe in facilitating a plan which may happily remove a European difficulty, it would at the same time be unworthy of its dig nity and derogatory to its righteous came if any attempt were made to exaggerate this service, or to barter its acquiescence in the candidature of Prince WILLIAM for a European guarantee with regard to the Duchies. The conditions which the Danish Government attaches to Prince WILLIAM'S candidatdpre, so far as they are at present known, refer, not to home questions, but simply to his position in Greece. The chief, if not the only, questions relating to this point in which the Government has a legitimate interest are those relating to the Regency to be appointed during the minority of the Peince, and the religion he is to profess ; the latter point being, however, directly oonneoted with that of succession in the Danish monarchy. With regard to the Regency, it is perfectly natural and right for the Danish Government to require that no public enemy of Denmark, no one distinguished for hos tility to dr astioaal tongs, should be allowed to fill this important and responsible post. This con dition would at once exclude some whose names have been already mentioned in connexion with the Regency. The ques tion of religion is closely connected with that of succession to the Danish crown, in which both the Government and people of Denmark have a direct and very serious interest. The succession is fixed by treaty in the family of Prince CHAIS. TIAN, and it is most important for the security '"4 • 4 •• I : n4 TIAB ,SA DATI . EVBN G, APB] P6S lit .• LATEST INTELIti RUSSIA. IL • The Moscow Gazette publishes on the Polish question an article which may be summed up as follows :—We ask nothing better than that Poland shall possess all possible liberties, but what we cannot consent to is that Poland should form by the side of Russia a separate state—a hotbed of agitation and of propagandism in the heart of the western provinces—a permanent and incessant enemy, and the natural ally of every coalition against Russia. "Thus," observes the Nord, in alluding to the article, "alliance on the ground of liberty and union in the paths of a common des tiny, or a struggle of nation against nation—such is the alternative which the Moscow Gazette offers to Poland. The dilemma is a Baritone one. ft realises the fears which we expressed from the moment when we saw the question become in Russia one of amour-propre and national inde pendence." and peace of the kingdom that no steps should be taken at all likely to disturb, even prospectively, this established order. Prince Cwaismis has three sons, of whom Prince WILLIAM is the second. If on assuming the crown of Greece he were obliged to renounce i Lutheranism and profess the Greek faith on behalf of himself and his heirs, none of his descendants could in any contingency succeed to the Danish Crown, and the existing security for the esta blished succession would thus be at once dimi nished by one-third. If the eldest son, Prince FRADER/CK, were to succeed and die without issue, the whole of the established order would depend on the life of the youngest boy, Prince WALDEM•R. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Danish Government should be anxious to guard as far as possible against the contingent risks to which the succession would be 'thus exposed. We believe, however, that the grounds for apprehension on this head are already removed, the Greeks themselves being willing to give up the proposed stipulation with regard to a change of faith. In that case, should the necessity hereafter arise, there would be nothing to prevent a Prince of the Greek kingdom from ascending the Danish Throne ; and the existing securities for the established order would still be indirectly retained. If no opposition to the proposed plan is offered, either by the Greek nation or the Danish Govern ment, it is not to be anticipated that any serious obstacle to its success will be interposed by Prince CirmoriAx and his family. While naturally anxious to admire his son's future, and guard as far as pee , sible against prospective dangers, Prince ORRIS mw is far too sensible a man to insist on any un wise or impossible conditions. We do not as yet know with any certainty what are the stipulations he may be anxious to make, but rumour has already specified one at bast which may be fairly regarded as alto gether unnecessary—the formal abdication of King Onto. This Bavarian Prince was originally selected by the Great Powers, and accepted by the Greek nation at their suggestion. Having been rejected by the nation and abandoned by the Great Powers the sole foundation of his royal dignity is destroyed, his throne is legally vacant, and any formal abdication would be irrelevant, if not absurd. trbe court.

Pisanelli, Minister of Public Worship at Turin, has issued the following circular to the pre facts and attorneys-general of the kingdom : Turin, March 24. It has bees doubted whether the omission of the august some of the King in the prayers which, according to the Roman catholic liturgy, it I. the custom to recite io the re ligious service of Good Friday and the Saturday following, constitutes an offence lying within the compass of the penal laws. The government of the King, while it wishes the rights and dignity of the crows to be respected, does not in tend to mamma upon the eacledenttial power in those mat , Imethat are within its strict competency. The undersigned, thordars, weaken it his duty to signify to you, sir, that, inionding to the rules of the catholic liturgy, it is not wriefaminry to name any person in the prayers, rasa daregh invested with a civil dignity, without the eeriest of the supreme ecclesiastical authority, and • opeatel rescript of the Sacred Congregation of Rites ; or dm, failing this reeoript, =lees a tacit acquiescence has acquired the force of a lawful custom acknowledged and admitted by the competent ecclesiastical authority. Now, as it doer not appear that any such consent has been ap plied for by his Majesty the King of Italy, or been granted for all the provinces of the kingdom, the maim of the King's name in the prayers above alluded to cannot be looked upon in the light of an of enenen the part of mole simlies, exempt in caw the tacit consent, resulting from lawful eadoes, can be proved. It is hardly neceasery to observe that the case of mere ousiesion is very different from that in which the name of • fallen civil power, the smog nitiou of which would be in oontradietion with the national adfrege and integrity of the kingdom, wore proewased in the said prayers.

The " Fortschritt" party held a meeting yester day, in which, upon the proposition of lien Twesten, it was resolved that in a future sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the government should be asked whether it considers the recent acts of Denmark as a fulfilment of the engagements entered into by that country after the negotiations of 1850 and 1852, and also whether the govern ment still considers itself bound by the said negotiations, seeing that Denmark had evidently violated its engagements.

Mr. Roebuck, M.P., was present by invitatios, and, at the request of the meeting, briefly explaieed be Users with respect to the position and prospects of Poland, sod the duty of England in the crisis. He upraised hie sympathy with the Poles in their struggle &gamut the despotism of Ramie. Be stated that the Austrian government would be glad to see the Mandan of Poland reconstituted as a barrier between Amelia and Russia, but that Ramis and Prussia would never give up the shires they obtained by the scanda lous partition without a war. He urged that England would do vastly more hum by creating a European war for Poland than it could possibly do good to the Poles, aad therefore he was opposed to that course. Lord Palmerston bad upraised strong opinions on the conduct of Kumla towards Poland, and his intention to do all that could be dose by diplomacy to benefit the Poles ; and his (Mr. Roe buck's) advies was to leave the matter in the hands of the foursome. Mr. Roebuck ezpreesed a most decided opinion that the Poles would inevitably be crashed by Rorie, sad warned those who where encouraging the Poles in this country to go to Poland, that they were seeding them to a useless butchery. Several members of the committee dis sected from the views expressed by Mr. Roebuck, but passed a cordial vote to him for his tissues@ in merlin s them, and the hook avowal of his opinions. Mr. Roebuck briefly acknowledged the compliment.

(Molt OUR OWN PARIS, Fmk: Emma. The Pays persists in the assertion that France, England, and Austria have made • concerted and simultaneous diplomatic demonstration at St. Petersburg on behalf of Poland. With au em phasis which is so convulsive as to beget suspicion it affirms that the triple intervention is—lst, "de cided ;" 2nd, " certain and actual ;" and, 3rd, "in course of accomplishment at this moment." At the same time Bulner's Correspondence gives out that M. de Budberg has informed M. de Dronyn de ' Limy' that the Czar intends to grant a general amnesty, and an independent constitution, subject only to Russian suzerainty, under which Poland will have a diet, a budget, and separate law courts and municipalities. The Bourse was much agitated. The Rente, after rising to 70fr. 20c., declined to 69fr. 850., being 23c. lower than the cloaftig price of yesterday. Mobilier fell 47fr. 50c. The report of the general meeting is considered very favourable, but it s effect was discounted long ago. The Pays, contradicting the news that one of Prince Napoleon's objects in going to Egypt was to meet the Sultan there, says that his imperial highness will not arrive till after the Sultan's de parture, and that the motive for his voyage is "purely scientific." It is said that at a meeting of severaLleaders of the legitimist party lately held at K Berryer's, it was resolved to abandon the system of abstention, and that K Berryer is commissioned to draw up a circular urgently pressing the legitimists to vote at the coming elections. The Duke of Beaufort's find day's wolf-hunting in Poitou turned out a failure, for the simple and rather to be expected reason that hie well-trained foxhounds took no more notice of a wolf than they' would of a donkey, and positively declined to run after it. A very large field, the estimate of which in the local journals varies from 250 to 400, turned out on Easter Tuesday, brimful of expectation, to see the performances of the English lord's pack. After drawing a cover for two hours, a fine wolf was routed out by some native dogs. The pack got a good view of him, but, " Och e hone ! wierastrie I " be was not game to their eyes, and no hallooing could rouse them from their indifferenoe. The huntsman is going to try what can be done in the way of educating the hounds for the new work required of them, by turning out trapped wolves close to their noses. In time he will doubtless succeed. Foxhounds may be made to bunt any thing, from a cur dog to a red herring. A great many members of the Jockey Club are going to join the duke, on the chance of sport, as soon as the remaining races of the Paris spring season are over. Brdlier's Correrpowdence says that the Duke of Beanfort's hounds will be taught to hunt wolves by being coupled with French dogs accustomed to that sport. A French horse having won a trotting match at Rouen last year against both English and American competitors, General Fleury has, it is said, induced the Emperor to add regular trotting matches to the continually increasing round of " sport " in Paris. The Empress went to Fontainebleau yesterday to superintend arrangements for court fates which are intended to be given there very soon. Stag hunts are in the programme. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

That in the said mouth of November but, and for some time subsequently, your inemorialiste were mainly if not entirely immune' with the necessity of providing Mod and clothing to the distressed operatives of Lancashire and Meshing during the then r em aining elates' 'mouths, sad they were throughout that period imbued with • Aram hope that with the return of spring the aisle tamed by the civil ' eosin America, and the c ud We ver produce= of oar maniac temea, would terminate, trade of the English cotton districts resume somewhat of its former proportioas ; but your memorialists sow comider that in the face of events it would be in the highest degree rash to acticipete say speedy revival of the cotton industries. 4. T h at your niemerialiate are strongly of opinion that the experiment of Meets( half • million of the working dame epos, charity should only he employed as • tem ar,expedieat daring a Meet atria, and that the epara trof Lancashire, though eminently grateful for the liberality of their constryreen, have already been kept in • state of reluctant idleness beyond the period when benefit exams and demoralisation begins. 6. That .year memorialists are also of opinion that the time has come for exchanging measures of palliation from week to week for the application of some radical and per manent remedy. 8. That your memorialists and their a:ntibiosis song der a comprehensive scheme of emigration as the best form of remedy applicable under present circumstances. That many of the distressed operatives thenteelme have for some time been strongly impressed with' this eoe sideration, that some have already left these Mares, and that numerous societies have spontaseonsly arisen mem Mem for the express purpose of promoting their own emigration ; them *Gaieties, however, are unable to accomplish much in oosegwince of their want of the necessary funds. 7. That your memorialists believe that every large section of the home and colonial public, who bays subscribed to the various Lancashire relief fends, and particularly to that fund which your honourable committee primarily wi t fund share the willingness of your memorialists that • poition of it should be applied towards the removal from the some of their protracted sufferings of such unemployed operatives as may be willing and fit to emigrate. 8.

That your memorialiste madder that by handing over to your honourable committee the funds they were ap pointed to collect they transferred both the discretion and respoosibility with which their constituents originally in vested them, so far as the fund so paid over is concerned. 10. That your memorialists have seen with much regret that up to this time your honourable committee has not de voted say part of the funds at its disposal towards the pro motion of what our memorialists believe to be the one kind of " eerier to which the nation's charity might now best be applied. 11. That your memorialists believe that her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners are a very efficient part of the public service, end that in the event of your honourable committee making any grant, or obtaining special subscrip noes for the purpose of emigration your hosourabie com mittee would be relieved from muc h of the labour and re sponsibility attendant upon the diatributiom of mush finds, and the selection of the emigrants, by obtaining the advice and 00-operation of her Majesty's Emigration Com- Your memorialist' therefore hope your honourable com mittee will take into your moat 'vinous oonsidemtioo the ex pediency of applying a porta, of the lands now is your Lands towards the promotion of elagnitios Mita; these operatives, and thus to bring about the removal of them who are fitted for colonial life to plena when their arrival would be hailed as ablessing, Masa of basis( them when their mention is bitterly felt by themselves no Iwo then by others to be a mama burden.—And your asinvorislists will ever pray. 8.

The twenty-ninth annual general meeting of the shurrheidere was held at moon, at the beak, 27, Cannon street ; Mr. G. Maceffenran in the chair. The following report was read :—" The directors beg t o submit to the shareholders the audited accounts for the me elided 31st December last, exhibiting a surplus of 173,8151. 17s. bd. The directors regret to say that a very serious lees hes been suatelead by the opie n , fres& at Hong Kong, the whole of which they have deemed it their duty to write off to debit of the reserve fund, amorg to the discretion vested in them under the deed ot moset. Out of the above sum of 173,8151. 17a fid., the directors have paid the usual dividend sad hem, amounting to 120,0001., and have transferred the ashore, 5d,8131. 17s. 5d., to credit of the means fund. whisk now stands at 192,6.'t &. 17s. 3d. Sites the last word ma'am the directors have opened a branch of the tank at Sydney, uoder the management of Mr. Alexander Campbell, the progress of which has been satisfactory. The boom occupied by the bank in Calcutta has long been found insufficient fin the extended business at that prow and the directors are glad to report that a most • site bee been secured, on which suitable premises • be immediately erected. The directors have pm, chased the freehold of the premises in oroom:street on favourable terms. The proprietors will have to elect au diary for the ensuing year, and the present auditors offer themselves far re-alection." The Comenat, in moving the adoption of the report, 000gratulated the shareholders on the wady progress of the bask, as shown by the Menem) of its business and profit', the latter amounting for the last year, with a small sum previously carried over, to 173,0001.—a melt which was the more remarkable as account d the resent starting of so many rival establishments. The implue of the year, after the psyment of the usiml dividend, was almost sufficient to pay the loss arising from the oopipum frauds, amounting to 61,000/. ; the total loss wwtaiaed by the wend beaks being 400,0001. He then described the muter in which the frauds were rested. The security given for advances made was, he re marked, undoubted, and the fraudulent parties previously bore an irreproachable character. At first the directors thought there must have been •a mat of due diligent. as the part of the manager, but inquiry showed that there oould be DO doubt as to the of the drug supposed to be hypothecated, and the board acquitted the manager of any serious blame. On the very night before Rustsodjes flight a mercantile firm in Hong Kong bought opium on the faith of documents which turned out, like all others of the same kind, to be valueless. The pro. pen of the branch in Edinburgh during the year was very satisfactory. Mr. Manio deputy chairmen, seconded the motion. Mr. E. H. 1101KLAND moved an amendment to the effect that the statement respecting the opium fraud WY not satisfactory ; and that some further explanatiot ought to be given to all the shareholders, including some =entice of what had been done to prevent a recurrence of such a dimeter. Mr. BAILIY seconded the amendment. Mr. Faison thought the meeting ought to et coo. dais Mance in the directors, especially se the mark prise of the share, showed that the public dad so. (Hear, beer.) Mr. Nxtmuncu thought it should be borne in mind that the fraudulent partial had a high character in the East. Ocessiood losses of that kind were inevitable amid the Inwards of banking, and the real security apiece any serious omeequeoces was the increase of the reserve fund. (Hear, beat.) If it had turned out on inquiry that the meager was grossly to Mae" he would, of course, have been ...eharged ; bat as that was mot the cam, the board were )atified in cantata, their confidence in him. (Hear, hear.) The sooner they forgot the late opium lose the better. Had the report contained a rigmarole story about them, se the mover of the amendment appeared to think it should have dons, he would himself have moved that it be "truck out. ughter.) TM Mam ( as La having briefly replied, Mr. NORMAND expressed his satisfaction with the expla nations gives, and, with the cosent d the seconder, with. drew the amendment.
