II 216 15. 3 6. ...„-Ahlremts. Pis. LONDON, SATURDAY, MARDI' 22. PRACTICAL reformers ought ever to bear in mind the parable of the grain of mustard seed. All great and enduring improvements have had almost imper ceptible beginnings. The investigations which led a Newsox to discover the law of gravitation were saggeeted by the fall of an apple. The indignation awakened in the bosom of a monk by a mountebank preacher of indulgences was the germ of the Reforma tion. It is for this reason that we often feel disposed to dwell with more interest upon noiseless and unos tentatious efforts of philanthropy than upon grand , schemes of social amelioration, eloquently developed amid the plaudits of numerous assemblies. The inauguration of the improvements in TyndaU's building., Gray's-inn-lane, of which an account wu published in our impression of yesterday, is onset the grains of mustard seed that are being sown here and there by the Society for the Improvement of the Working Cisme.. The picture drawn by our re porter of the actual condition of these tenements is repulsive in the extreme. Our experience of what has been accomplished by the Society in other part, of the metropolis warrants a confident belief that they will wear a very different aspect before Good Friday again comes round. The Society wisely repudiate the idea of giving alms. They offer to the poor of London more healthy and comfortable dwellings; but they respect the spirit of independent self-exertion, and ask money for money's worth. They undertake to de monstrate experimentally that habitations for the poor can be erected and maintained in decent order and comfort on the ordinary principles of commerce. Nothing has impressed us more profoundly, in the narrative of the visit paid to Tyndall's-buildings on Thursday last by Lord SHAFTESBURY and his friends than the effect it produced on the inmates of the dwellings. " Outside, in the Bagged court, were a number of • young barbarians all at play,' shoeing, tattered, dirty, and extremely merry. Some of riper age—bold men and bolder women—stood at the doors or at the window., dubious and suspicious. They felt that they were the artificial Huron' of civilisation ; and if they did not openly express, at least indicated by their looks, that they had rather remain undisturbed in their modern wigwams. That this feeling exists to no slight extent is evident from the fact that, since the property came into the pos session of the Society, several families have left." Not the least benefit to be derived from such labours as those in which Lord SHAFTESBURY takes delight is the bringing of all classes into personal contact. So long Lathe poor and the rich remain unacquainted they mutually wrong each other in their secret thoughts. This defiant spirit is the obstacle to the progress of knowledge and enlightened morality the most diffi cult to surmount. Its eradication must be a work of time, and can only be effected by high and low ao• quiring the habit of co-operating. At this moment we may witness the sowing of zany grains of mar tard seed in this wide and fertile field. The labours of the Society for Improving the Condition of the Working Classes are one. The efforts of those who mask to aid the industrious poor in the introduction of improved systems of amassment into their benefit clubs sad societies are another. The Working Men's Colleges present an analogous spectacle. Perseverance In such good works will in time teach " the artificial Herons of civilisation " not to shrink from those who mean them well. More will thus be done to ensure that the inevitable mutations in oar social and civil arrangements shall take plum in tranquil lity and a kindly spirit than any legislation can effect. The poor outcasts of society are more maci listed by sympathy than by gifts; they shrink, with all the sensitiveness of a Comma, from the charity of him who appears to be " their benefactor, not their brother-man." Turn is a very general conviction in the public naiad that the TICK= or•Lates System has failed. We hardly brow whether we share in this aerie. tics or not. On the one hand, we have the eom. plaints of the audios, ad oamewlsat Unified re. portable clangs at the number of tisket-of-lgave sea wow at large; the indignation of Mr. Jaunts that his phaseout is surrounded by some forty of than gaga ; and the stresepozproseed *plain of the Cam ANTICS sad ether high legal Indices:lm that transportation must be resumed. On the other head, Oelsnel Jaen assures as that " 80 or 90 pm mat. does restored to society through ticksb of leave are getting their living by their own basest exertions." Morgovse, we have the statement of the Loan Cut/wawa that "of the 1,600 or 1,800 =evicts at large at the date of the loot return, 1,2137 were persons who had been seo kneed only to MANI years' transportation; and, as Gordis, to the old oysters, would have bogs let loose on moiety with this differs's* from the repeat sys tems—that they would not have had a ticket of leave, but would have been absolutely diesherged." It ap poses. also, by a report from one prima whore some palm sesta to have bees takes to Meta augustly, that oat of 284 ma discharged, satisfactory replies had ham received with regard to 189, ansatideetory replies with regard to 17, sad no replies at all in the same( about 60. Bad we ussigkith thorefereln these dainties, we shield be impelled to believe that the tielget.ot-logive system at present is practice had met with Niguel moms. But. inasmuch as the mast. mem of the statistics mews very doubtful, the mouse of the system is in the same degree uncertain., Thweeore we say that we do not know whether the present prestige with regard to tickets of leave has or he. set felled. Bet this we do know, that the system Intended to have been emoted by the Legislature was sot emoted by the 16th and 17th Vie. a. 99, through the !gleaming in comaittse ; that the system as guested is set fully carried into practical offset; and that the eperstiga of the system intended by the Legislator*, eves if that system had boon mooted, would not have afforded a oosclagive test of the advantages of all systems of granting tickets of leave in Ragland. Lard Gaturviux stated in the Hones of Lords ea the blith of February that the Goverment does mot based to oaks any alteration in the law; we there lota propose to show why the working of the present law should sot be taken as a test of the merits of the system of allowing convicts to earn by good be haviour in gaol a license to bo out of prima daring the remainder of their terms of imprisonment, which license shall be re•oable if they relapse into bad habits. The Bill of 1863, as it originally stood, had so notsronos to the granting of tickets of loam It simply proposed that penal servitude, or birdmen sent wit► bard labour, should be sabetitntsd for transportation ; and that the term of penal servitude should be shorter than the corresponding terms of transportation, because the discipline of the farmer was considered more mere. Lord Oily, however, stated, that allowing men confined in England to earn tickets of leave in the colonies had been found to work well in Barbados., and elsewhere. He there fore recommended that sash tickets should for the fawn be granted in England in thous cases where transportation was to be no longer used. He recommended also that as the temptations to relapse were greater in this country than in the colonies, such ticket-of-leave men ought not ben to be allowed equal freedom, but that remunerative employment on government works should be sup plied them, and that they should be prohibited from resorting to large towns. His recommendation us to granting tickets of leave in England was adopted; his advice as to the employment and partial sur veillance of the men was only so far attended to that the Government declared their intention of followiog it in practice—but no referee°, was made to it in the Act. Thus it was no longer simple penal servitude or imprisonment with bard labour which was substituted for transportation, but penal servi tude and a license to be at large if fairly earned by good conduct. But as the severity of the substitute for transportation was lessened, the duration of the punishment no longer required shortening. The clauses, therefore, fixing the length of the terms of penal servitude should have been altered. This, however, was forgotten ; according to the present Act, therefore, the duration of the punishment is shortened because it was intended to be more severe, while in reality the punishment is made leas severe. Thus far, then, we see that the intentions of the Legislature were not embodied in the Act. Neither are they practically carried into effect ; for no pains have been taken to find employment for convicts in order to prevent them from falling into destitution and consequent crime nor have they been prevented from returning to large towns and to their old haunts; in fact, in this last respect no restriction whatever has been placed upon them. But, further, the system enacted is not practically carried into effect ; for we find that the Home-stfios has lately decided that the " terms of penal servitude are now to be carried out in their integrity"—that is to say, the full term is to be passed in prison, and no ticket of leave is to be granted except in very rare cues and on veryspeeial grounds. On this principle the Home-office pro poses to shorten sentences hitherto pronounced on the supposition that the law was still in force by which tickets of leave might be earned—a suppo sition, we presume, which every judge entertained. Bo that, practically, the system is at an end : or if not quite at an end, yet this determination of the Home-office, and the fact that no ticket of leave has been yet recalled without a new offence on the part of its holder, pretty clearly show that the eye tem, even as embodied in the present Act, has never been carried into effect. Nor, lastly, is the system contemplated by its original promoters one by which either they or the advocates of reformatory punish ment would consent to be finally bound. For in stance, the amount of surveillance to which ticket-of leave men may be subjected, in order to protect the public without tyranny to the individual ; what should be the destination of the money earned by the convicts while in gaol; whether, in order to per fect the scheme of reformatory punishment, it should be coupled with a reparation of the civil injury—a principle unknown to our law; what amount of proof should be required of the ticket-of-leave man's bad con- duct, end before whom that proof should be made— for the withdrawal of the Benue withmit some farm of trial is repugnant to all our notions of Justine : these, and many other question, must be settled, and chiefly by experience, before the system of reformatory punishment through tickets of leave ought to be given up as a failure. Having now hinted at the imperfections of the present Act, u not even enacting what its framers intended, and as still less fulfilling the wishes of those who desire to see reformatory punishment fairly tried, we do strongly protest against the decision of the Government not to alter the present law. People are very anxious and dissatisfied with the present system, and for that reason aloes, and in order to give some feeling of security to the quiet citizen, we do bops that the Government may change their mind. The larger question of the comparative merits of deterrent and reformstery paniehments has lately been discussed by the Recorder of Birming ham and Mr. ADDIULLIY.

HAMBURG, Farm:. A despatch has been received here announcing that Commodore Watson has declared Liban and all the &mien ports in the Baltic in a state of blockade. THE STATE OF PERSIA. We reed in a letter from Bt. Petersburg of the 12th: "Colonel Bartolomei, who was sent by General Mouravieff to the Shah of Persia, in company with the Ambassador charged to announce to the Persian Prince Use mosaics' of the Emperor to the Throne— has returned here from Teheran, by Tiflis, where he stopped some time. He has been received by the Emperor : " According to this officer, Persia is in such a state of disorganisation that it cannot in any way be relied upon, and there only remains to urge it to the promptest possible reconciliation with England." THE AUSTRIAN CONCORDAT. A letter from Vienna of the 16th, in the Beeslate Gazette, says :—" The Council of Ministers has as gambled to discuss the question started by the letter of the Papal Internuncio, Mgr. Vials Prela, calling together a synod of Austrian bishops, without taking any notice of the convocation already made by the Emperor. The result of this sitting has been to despatch to Rome the Imperial Councillor Hoffmann. The number of antagonists to the concordat increases daily, and amongst the most important of these is M. de Bruck, Minister of Finance. In the sitting of the Council just spoken of he stated without hesitation that the execution of the concordat rendered the realisation of his plans of reform more difficult. After the Council, he went to Cardinal Rustler, with whom he had a long easiversation." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PARIS, FRIDAY Ityxxrivo. The Congress did not meet to-day, and I under stand there will be no sitting to-mono,. On Mon day there will probably be a meeting, and it is very confidently expected that some official statement on the subject of pease will be made on Tuesday. " We have reason to think," says the Arsemblie Nationale," that the statement made by some foreign journals of the formation in the Congress of a special committee charged to draw up the definitive treaty should be completed in this manner :—The committee in question will, it is said, be itself subdivided into sab-ccimmittees, which will particularly examine each of the principal points under examination. The regulation of the navigation of the Dardanelles, ren dered awassary by the abolition of the treaties of 1840 and 1841, is given to one of these sub-com mittees, of which Baron de Manteuffel lea number." The Emperor ham received an autograph letter from the Xing of Frusta with coogratulatioes cm the birth of an heir.

DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. (71031 L 01111 OWX 4 lIAROa 7. The subjoined I have just received from Jassy. It is a protest, covered with thousands of sigeatures, which the principal inhabitants of Moldavia pre. seated on the lst instant to their reigning prince, Gregory Oinks. The prince received it very gra ciously, and declared that he had himself the day before sent off a protest to the conference at Pans against the decisions adopted by the conference at Constantinople on the subject of the Principalities. By the time the next mail leaves I shall be able to transmit von the particulars of all that preceded and that has been done since those protests. PROTEST. Most Serene Highnese,—The high mintrecting powers did not disregard at Vienna the future wool of the ROlllllll4l/1111 Principalities when commencing the great work of pacifica tion ; and the first point of the preliminaries if pesos re cognises and gauntries' in their principles the right, which the principalities powers, ia virtne of their capitulations made with the Sublime Ports in the 16th and 16th am turies, the most essential of which are—eelf government, the election of the primes by the Roumanians from among themselms, and a national representation. Oa its side, the Sublime Porte had already given the same aeraransee through its commissioner in the principalities, Dervish • . Pitch:, who said to them, in 1854, "We declare tint the honour sad glory of his Majesty the Sultan are interested in the preservation of your ancient righte." These amarancee, solemnly given to the Romanians, have been for t►em in the midst of the storms and misfortunes of late a pledge of tope that at the conclusion of peace their indisputable and isupreseriptible rights would not merely be consecrated anew, but that the union of the two peincipalities would be vouchsafed them, so that they might be thereby enabled to defend both that' own interest, and those of Eutope on the Danube, ea also to fulfil their pro vidential =melon in the East. The greater the confidence of the Roumanians in these repeated promises has bees, the greater has beta their dis appointment on liming that the representatives of the great powers at the conferences cf Constantiaople hays traced oat the bun of a new organisation fir the Principe LON ; this, too, without having previonely atcsgained their wishes, as required by the prelimiaaries of peace themselves —and that the decisions adopted at these confentsoes are so many violations cf the least sacred rights possessed by the Roumanians—rights hitherto invariably respected, even in the most disagrees periods of the history of the Principali ties. Our confidence la the wisdom sad justice of the great powers dots not permit as to regard as definitive the plane sketched out by the conferences of Constantinople, nor to believe that the Rousaaniaas are about to he deprived of their right to create in their awn country the laws required by their wants or the progress of the age, and that their ha ters constitutioa is to best apt d oat at Constantinople under the control of the Sublime Porte. In fact, were the decisions arrived at by the members et the coalman at Constantinople to have the form of law, the General Assembly or Roumanian Hone of Represen tatives, which haa at all times alone ezerciaed legislative power in the Principalities, instead of comprising all the vital elements of the nation, property, merit, tride, and in dustry, would diaappe.r, in order to make room for a Senate incompatible with the national tiaditioas and character, The Prince would no longer be the shoice of the natim, but, like any other mete Turkish functionary, the Sublime Porte would take him from a very endued list of math dstes. &vent intenal administrative and legislative ensure would be at once withdrawn from the national re presentation, whatever that may chance to be, and settled authoritatively by the mem►en of the conference. In short, the right of the Roumanians to have their own national administration sad legislation would be conoalesihitho deolaratios "that all the laduetrlal and commercial lows ; all the measures of public interest to be adopted by Turkey should apply, pkno jure, to the Principalities, as forming an lateral pan of the (Moan% empire." In a word, the is dependence of the national government established is sac of the very articles draws cep by that enufsrence is con. phately nullified by the articles that follow. Bo mash is this the cue, that the solemn promise about the ancient rights sod institutioaa of the Principalities being placed heocefortb under the gamine of public European right becomes illusory; Moldavia and Wallachia are reduced to the condition of Turkish provinces or pechalike, directly end completely depeadest oa the government at Con staatisople.
