L. 7..w..—Moralms. 111. lila Aftarasos, N. Om. LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 12. Ws are most of us aware that a great and active social movement is going on in all parts of the country for the Prevention of Juvenile Crime and the Reformation of Juvenile Criminals. Society hoe become convinced of the truth that the mere punish ment of transgression is wholly inadequate for the repression of transgressors, and that the highestinte rests of humanity as well as the lowest interests of the purse alike demand that a systematic and au tained attack should be carried on against those strongholds of poverty, ignorance and crime, in which generation after generation are regularly trained to plunder as a profession and to via as a career. If we wish to elevate the morals of the com munity—to thin the ranks of the dangerous olmess-- to stop the internecine war waged against property by crime—our wisest course is to get fast hold, if we can, on the rising gene ration of thievery. if the Bedouin of the streets is ever to be tamed, it is only when he is taught young. The squalid ease, the reckless indulgence, and the fierce excitement of his wild life, soon become too strong for him ; besides which, when once fairly impregnated with the prison taint, he is obliged to persevere in plunder, for the simple reason that he has no alternative but to starve or steal. Far a hag time Society was content to spend vast same usually in the repeated imprisonment for short terms of chil dren whose livelihood was larceny. The boy Arab pilfered, was imprisoned, and let oat; he Abu& again, was again committed, and again relined. - and bard laboet, hard labour iefe—rich wu—nay, rash is— the on/meted tease of many an urchin's life, who *4 his seventh or eighth committal stands muesli high enough in his shoes to enable the indignant chairman and the astonished jury to discover the small hag gard features peering over the rail of the felon's dont- This absurd process still goes on, but the good sense of the nation is beginning to be tired of it, and the philanthropy of the nation is exerting itself in nay direction to substitute for this short-imprisonment and pockatl folly the wiser course of taking the crisanal or vs. grant child limo its own keeping, 'and slowly bat surely training it for eitlsseskip by the reformatory and indestrial discipline of years, instead of the penal infliction of weeks. The various institutions that, with this admhable object, have recently been established throughoet the country may conveniently be grouped ender the two classes of Reformatories and Refuges; the knew, as their name imports, beiog priacipiilly devoted to the reformatiao of criminals; the latter, to the preven tion of crime. The Refuge deals with children or adults who are either actually criminal, or likely from destitution or vagrancy to become so —the Reformatory, as a general role (in this *sentry at least, for it is otherwise in Boot and), with gristle's only. It is farther required is this *poetry (but not is Scotland), that any child seat by a committing magistrate to a Reformatory must undergo at least a fortnight's reeks@ imprisce. meat. So vapid has been the recent extension of thee@ institution', that s Osumi Association has been formed in the Metropolis, for the ezprem pu ree, not oily of improving their meosgessat and fecolitatiog their growth, bat of collecting and dif fusing ioformation as to their operation and malts.

The metropolis, therefore, as far as regards this particular sloes of isetitstion steads for below the pennon, an far below the damndest its vast population.

They contain the account of the return of the English squadron into the Black Sea, in omeequence of the non-evactiation of Ham by the Russians, and the occupation of the Isle of Serpents. A email of ministers had been held the day before the packet left, which was supposed to be connected with the occupation by the Ressians of the Isle of Serpents.
