LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 27. IT is said that a new candidate has been found for the throne of Greece. Lord PAtmsaaron in timated last week that the Government was hoping to be able before long to recommend a Prince to the Greeks, and now the name of the Prince WILLIAM of Gtucicsacao, brother of her Royal Highness the Princess of WALMS is mentioned as having been selected. So many failures and mishaps have occurred in the business that we may be excused for hoping that all has been made safe this time ; that the PRINCE himself has been spoken to on the subject ; that his father and mother have given their consent; that King Fasursicx VII. has no objection ; and that there is nothing in the laws and constitution of Denmark to hinder a PRINCE in the order of the royal succession from accepting a foreign crown. If all these things have been duly cared for, we trust that the Greeks may be able to find in Prince WILLIAM the sovereign they need. • We hope so, not the lees for being told that this is a matter of light importance, and that the Greeks had better take the first man they can get, and ask no questions. But a nation that has endured King Onto for twenty years is not likely to accept a new King with its eyes shut. It has known what it costa to take the lightly given word of diplomacy, ever anxious to relieve itself of temporary embarrass ment at the risk of injury to permanent interests. The Courts of Europe owe some con sideration to the Greeks in this matter. It is for their sake, and in deference to their ideas, that the Greeks have been anxious to conform their government to that of the states around them, without inquiring too narrowly whether mo narchical institutions agree best with their situa tion and circumstances. Seeing that the states- men of Europe are resolved to treat Greece as an unsettled country so long as it has no king, it is desirable that the interregnum should be brought to an early dose. But when we are told that monarchy is the certain cure for popular anarchy and confusion in the finances, and is a pledge of national progress, we cannot but wonder where those who thus declaim have read the modern history of Greece, a country where all those evils have grown up rank and luxurious under a kingly government. - We sincerely trust that in the choice of Prince Witi.um the Greeks may find a king around whom they may rally and enter on a career of im provement which shall raise them and make them equal to the destiny which has long seemed to be in store for them in the East of Europe. If, pru dent and moderate, he is content to govern men by serving them ; if he has tho tact to associate himself with the sentiments, idesa, and interests of the people, he may not only reign with distinc tion, but bequeath an honoured sceptre and per haps an enlarged kingdom to his heirs. The con diticnis of monarchical governments in our days are at once harder and easier than they were in the last generation. Crowns are still hereditary, but they are won and lost with portentous frequency. The firmest thrones are those of con stitutional monarchs who are not jealous of their people ; but a constitution does not always save a foolish or obstinate or incapable King. Prince WILLIAM has a great advantage in not having been cradled amidst the flatteries which have made the King of Pausina'sreign a failure and a nuisance. It is only within these few years that his family have been drawn from a dignified privacy and de clared heirs of the Danish throne. The young PRINCE has probably no false sympathies to cast IA no prejudices to unlearn. Every Englishman will love to believe that he is sensible and high prin cipled, because we know that his sister is so. The parents who trained her must have good sons. The PRINCE has another advantage, not to be under valued, in an assured position. In these days of fluctuation and change it is a great thing for a ruler not to be too dependent on his people. Public opinion does not permit, as formerly, interventions to confirm or restore unpo- pular sovereigns; it is therefore the more necessary that they should be protected against the consequences of the fickleness of their sub jects. The continental Sovereign who has admi nistered a constitutional kingdom with most suc cors is the King of the BELGIANS ; but it has often been remarked that in important crises the know ledge that he was ready at any moment to retire to Claremont gave weight to his resolutions. " Let us understand one another," said the Knee to the Chamber in the confusion and excitement of 1848 ; " my only title to rule here is your free " choice, and I shall rely on no other. If the " nation wishes me to lay down my trust, I shall " resign it to-morrow." King LZOFOLD has never been in danger of losing his throne, and we have no fear that King WILLIAM 1., if that honour awaits him, will have to look back to Denmark with regret The cou rage which he shows in accepting a crown which .y) many others have shrunk from touching, and in committing his name and life to the fortunes of a small and aspiring nation, give him a new title to our sympathy ; and there is not a man in these islands who will not wish that his career may be one of brilliant success. Mr. Doulton will ask the First Commissioner of Worke, after Faster, what steps he inteods taking to terry oat those recommendation of the Royal Commissioners on the Thames Embankment, "which are of ao imperial ra ther then of a musicipal nature, bowies reference to throw. log open the site and impro►ing the approaches of the Houses of Parliament ;" and call the attention of the house to the desirability of extending those recommenda tions so u to "reader the line of thoroughfare between Whitehall and Palace yard mores consonant with the archi tectural character of the new government offices and the palace of the legislature, and better adapted to the Dfolllllli ties of the daily tetras/tog traffic." t IE VT.PRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 27, .1863._ mt.

The Berlinske Ti ends of Copenhagen announces that Earl Russell has just proposed as candidate for the throne of Greece Prince William of Denmark, second son of Prince Christian, and that France and Russia support the proposition. "Accounts from Athens," says the Pays, "announce a new candidate to the throne of Greece—that of Prince William, second son of Prince Christian, the heir to the crown of Denmark. This candidateahip appears to be well received at Athens. The royal family of Denmark, of a very ancient race, is looked on everywhere with respect. Prince William is in the navy, and for that reason he will be welcomed in Greece, where particular importance is attached to the maritime interests of the country. France has always been on the moat friendly terms with Denmark, and there is reason to think that she would be favourable to this candidateahip." THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OP WALES. Another delay in the visit of their Royal High nesses the Prince and Prinoess of Wales to Sandringham has been rendered necessary, but it is now said to be finally ar ranged that the special train will leave Windsor, and travel through to Wolverton to-morrow, only staying at Lynn to receive the address of congratulation of the corporation.

" Sir,—The termination of the agreement between the government and the Els wick Ordnance Company will have the effect of leaving that company burdened with a much larger plant than is covered by their guarantee. The friends who compose that company, and who were induced through me to embark their capital in the undertaking, feel that they have a claim upon me to join their firm, and lead my aid in rendering their uncovered expenditure productive. " The memorandum which defines the terms of my ap pointment gives me the option of taking this step at any time, but up to this date I have abstained from doing so. The same memorandum secures to me a continuance of my appointment, at a salary of 2,00 W. a year, for a term of which upward, of three years have yet to expire. "As I cannot join the Elawick Company in cap►city to be useful without interference with my official duties, which at present absorb all my attention, lam induced to tender my resignation, relinquishing, of tonne, all claim to further payment.

Arteetrong, C. 8.," ke. On Tuesday last the Roy. Jeremiah Boweu was instituted to the rectory of West Walton Lewes, is the county of Norfolk, on the presentation of the Rev. Chauncy Hare Townsbeed, of Norfolk-street, Park-lane, in the county of Middlesex, clerk. The memorial regarding the seizure by Admiral Wilkes of the British steamer Peterhoff, booed from Losdon to the Mazioan port of Matassoraa, was promoted yesterday to Earl Remelt, through Mr. IL W.

Dr. Parker, of the London If ission, died on the 2nd Feb. from the effecta of falling from his horn into a canal, while mowing a dilapidated stone bridge. He was mach respected b► a large circle of friends and acquaint• awes ; his lose will be deeply felt by those who came within the sphere of his Moan." RUSSIAN BARBARITIES. A letter in the Debati of to-day from Wilaa says : The civil war oontinues, and it is becoming more and more sanguinary and ferocious. The bands which at first were oompceed of from 500 to 800 men, are now not more than 200 at the utmost, and the greater part do not consist of more than 20 or 30 men. They remain in the forests, where they find it difficult to sustain life. The Russians are guided by the peasants, whom they frighten or corrupt. and scarcely allow any quarter to the insurgents. The number of prisoners is become so large that all the prisons are gorged, and it is difficult to escort the prisoners across a country which is in such a state of ferment. Moreover, there are no longer any councils of war held ; all those who are taken with arms in their bands are executed on the spot ; and what arm., good heavens ! rusty sabres, scythes, pikes, iron-headed sticks ! Revolvers are luxuries possessed only by two or three individuals at most among a band of 50 insurgents. You know that 300 of the principal proprietors have been arrested and hurried into the interior of Russia or shut up in the citadel. Every day new arrests are made. Every peasant who has any complaint to make against his lord, an employe, or an overseer, every insolvent debtor, is sure to be listened to, and his denunciation is immediately followed by an arrest. In this way it is desired to arouse all hatreds, rancour, and vengeance, to light a civil war, mid to plunge the country into the most frightful anarchy. The Czar of the 22nd says : A Pole, named Kraft'ld, has been sentenced to receive 500 blow. from a stick before being shot. The order was ex ecuted at Warsaw itself. The unfortunate man passed be tween the ranks of 500 soldiers, and received the appointed number of strokes. After this terrible iulliction, not being able either to stand or to lie down, he supported himself against the wall, being enveloped in his cloak. His mother had obtained permission to see hint immediately after this bar barous wane, but he wan so much disfigured that she did not recopies him. Taking him for a stranger, she asked him which way she most go in order to lee her son. The only response of the unhappy man was to open his cloak and show his lacerated body. Two hours later Krasuski was shot. CHINA. The Orerland China Mail of Feb. 14 states that our troops have been busy with a survey of the whole district round about Shaughae ; and this is completed so efficiently that "our future move ments, shauld any require to be made over the country surveyed, will be easy and rapid compared with what they were while we remained at the mercy of native guides, often ignorant, and pos sibly treacherous." The rebels had not been heard of during the pre vious fortnight otherwise than vaguely. A city called Chang-shoo, situated on the rebel frontier, about 30 miles inland, is said to have tendered its allegiance to the imperialists, and to have been then occupied by an imperial garrison ; the same was the case with Fooshan, a neat of pirates. We gave, in last issue, the imperfect intelligence then t o hand regarding an attack upon Shacu-ehing, an important rebel city about ninety miles from Ningpo. The besiegers were the Franco-Chinese force under the command of Lieutenant Lebrethon. The attack was so far 'uncomic' that the men were scaling the walls, when an untoward accident occurred which caused the besiegers to desist, and retire. Something had gone wrong with a man, and Lebrethon, with three other Europeans (the only other foreigners con nected with the force) grouped round it to see what was the matter : the gun burst and killed all four. Considering the oonfidence the Chinese have in their foreign leaders, the courage which is imparted to them by the conduct of those men, and their own superstitious belief in omens, their im mediate retreat need not surprise us ; it is only to be feared that they have suffered more heavily than has been re ported. JAPAN. The accounts from Japan have reference prin cipally to the internal affairs of the country. No molestation has been offered to foreigners, not withstaudiag the warning given to the English chargd d'affaires a short time back. The Japan Herald of the 24th ultimo states that proscriptions of the most extensive kind have been made among the nobility, by the Emperor's direction ; that no less than a hundred and ten persons of rank have been degraded and deprived of half their property; and that, while this number includes nearly all those who have " had to do" with foreigners since the treaties were first made, the names of certain nobles known to be hostile to foreigners are not to be found among the proscribed. A list is given of many of the nobility so degraded and punished ; their names and titles are given in full, together with the charge brought against each, and the punishment awarded. For the sake of brevity, the list is confined to about a dozen names, but the fullest details have evidently been supplied to the Japan Herald from some source. The China Mail says ; It is of significance to um whether these arrests and de gradations are real or pretended ; they point in the direc tion of treaties about to be repudiated, and constitute another step in the anti-foreign movement, which was so openly begun in the evacuation of Yeddo. We now learn that enormous numbers of atimios, merchants, and aii classes, are docking to Miako, where building has begun on a large scale, likely to render the city in a little time nearly as large as Yeddo. It mey be noticed, however, that these steps have never been followed up by a de clared attitude of hostility to foreigners, although they serve to mark an aversion to us of the strongest sort.

The Correspondencia states that the Infanta's journey has not been productive of any result. THE PRINCIPALITIES.-A LOAN. BUCHAREST, MARCH 26. The government has contracted a loan of 50,000,000 francs with English and French capi talists. The agents of some great financial houses have memorialised the government for concessions to construct railways, and to establish a bank for granting credits on landed property. Perfect tranquillity prevails everywhere. INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. ALEXANDRIA, MARcR 27. _ The Menageries Imperiales steamer Donnai ar rived at Suez yesterday, with mails from India and China, 190 passengers, 'and 910 packages of mer chandise. The Labourdounaia leaves Alexandria to-day, with the above for Marseilles. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nor oar owl PARIS, TatnuiD•r Eviango. I incline to think that the expectations, never very strong, of the possibility of assembling a European congress to consider the state of Poland are weaker than they were. The Nation takes upon itself to "repeat confidently that the friends of Poland will have good reason to congratulate themselves very shortly upon the good understand ing which prevails between the cabinets of Vienna and Paris." lam persuaded that the above asser tion is based upon just nothing at all. Semi-official articles published simultaneously in the Pays and Cometitutionnet about the result of Prince R. de Metternich's journey to Vienna, prove very clearly, by their embarrassed tone and their apologies for the necessarily slow and cautious action of diplo macy, that Austria has sent a merely civil and barren answer to the proposition made to her. The Bourse, to-day, after much fluctuation, closed with a fall, notwithstanding the reduction of * per cent in the Bank of France's discount. Rente fell 15c., the Lyons Railway 7fr. 50c., and the other lines 2fr. or 3fr. The Patric says that the notorious Marquis Wielo polski, civil governor of Warsaw, has written a letter to Prince Napoleon, in answer to the observa tions relating to him which his imperial highness made in the Senate. A letter from St. Petersburg, dated March 21, reports that immediately after the substance of the speeches delivered in the Senate by the Marquis de Larochejaquelin and Viscount de la Gueron nihre became known in the Russian capital, orders were given to the imperial chancery to make out patents with all speed for the appointment of those two French senators to be Knights of St. Vladimir of the second class. If this news is true the parties intended to be complimented will find their honours embarrassing in Paris, where the feeling in favour of Poland is universal. The Pays states that M. Rattazzi left Turin on Tuesday evening for Paris, to settle some matters of business for his wife, late Madame de Solma. At the same time Bullier'a Correspondence an nounces that M. Ricasoli arrived here yesterday. It would be curious if the two rivals and ex-prime ministers of Italy should be now in Paris together. But the habitual inaccuracy of the French press, in regard to the simplest matters of fact, is so great that I suspect some mistake. M. Farini, the Italian minister who has just been obliged to resign, was quite out of his mind from brain disP.se, to which he has been long subject. _ . . The Empress, the Princess Clothilde, and the Princess Mathi:de, were present at the Acadsmy to-day to witness the reception of the new member, K Octave Foulllet, the eminent dramatist. A provincial newspaper, Le Journal de la Cdte d'Or, being prosecuted some time ago for one of the many shadowy offences created by imperial legislation, was acquitted by the local tribunal. But the slow-hounds of the parquet brought the case before the Court of Cessation, which ordered a new trial ; and now the court at Lyons has given the government the conviction required. The journal is suppressed and two of the editors are sentenced to a month's imprisonment. The news that I sent a few days since that M. Bagier, the manager of the Opera at Madrid, bad been selected to suoceed M. Calzado at the Italian Theatre in Paris is confirmed. The Minister of State signed M. Bagier's appointment on March 25. The new manager takes possession on May I—that is to say, at the end of the present Beason. He accepts the post without a subvention. It being stated that the theatre will not open under IL Bagier's management till October 1, the Presse inquires whether he has renounced the happy idea he had of giving Italian plays alternately with operas, and keeping open all the year round GENERAL LANGIEWICZ. The special correspondent of the Times at Cracow writes on the 22ed : " Until this morning, when we saw the captive insurgents brought in by the Austrian troops, shivering and starving, no one in Cracow believed that Langiewics's corps was broken up, as it now decidedly is. It has lost its head ; the limbs may struggle about for some time longer, but all the life has gone. However, there are plenty of excellent, ardent-minded persons in Cracow, who will maintain that it is not • disadvantage, sod even that it is • positive advantage, to have nothing more to do with • man whom mancenvres had excited the admiration of the best officers in Europe, whose personal influence over his troops was much that be could make untrained recruits, armed only with scythes, charge the Russian artillery, and who had inspired Poles of all classes with an enthusiasm such as no other Pole in modern times had filled them with sines the time of Kosciusko. It is argued now, with some little plausibility, that • great general is not wanted under present circumstances in Poland; that the essential thing is to have • number of clever, daring, partisan leaders ; that plenty such are forthcoming, and that it would be a saw fortune for any one of them to aim at the position and repu tation of a first-rate commander, inasmuch as the Russians, owing to their superiority in artillery and in material force generally, cannot fail, sooner or later, to gain advantages in the open field. The fact is, poor Leogiewicz in in the Castle of Cracow. and no one can get him oat. Otherwise, not a single Pole would pretend to undervalue the immense im portance attached to his name, not only in Poland, but in the whole of Europe. Mademoiselle Pustowaydora, Lan giewitz's female aide-de-camp, has, I regret to say, not been treated since her capture in military fashion at all. She has bees hooded over to the police, and is now shut up in some Cracovian 'station-honee.' " The Council of the Society of Arts have ap pointed a committee to consider and report what awards may be offered by the society for practical suggestions to improve street illuminations and street decorations for flea. _ The fancy-dress makers of Paris are at present busily engaged in preparing costumes for • grand ball which is to be given in Madrid on the ith of next month, by the Duchess de Yernando-Nunex, and which Queen Isabella in tends to honour with her promise. Professor Mosotti, the celebrated astronomer, who commanded the legion of students at Pisa daring the Italian ingurroctien of 1848, has just died at Pisa, at the age of 72. A duel with swords has just taken place between the director of the Thrill° of Turin and the director of the Politics del Popolo of Milan, in consequence of a discus sion in their journals The former received three wouads, whilst the latter escaped with a slight scratch on the head. The state of the director of the liritto is not considered dangerous. . . •" ----- While we enjoy magnificent spring weather in London, letters received from the south of Francs are filled with accounts of fatal accidents caused by galas of wind and a heavy fall of snow. A letter from Videmos, in the Ariege, Antes that the weather in that part of the country is moat severe. The quantity of snow on the ground is described as terrific. Some peasants who had come down then from the mountains to transact business eased '.'mt snob masses of snow had not been seen for many yeses. It is not yet two years since the discovery was made of a payable gold field in Otago, and in that short space of time the trade of Dunedin has advanced with most utonishing strides, while the value of every foot of land in the town as well as all landed property throughout the province has increased in value in the most estrus. distal manner.

This morning at 8 o'clock the execution of Charles Foote and Alfred Pauly took place at Dorcheeter county gaol, in the presence of an immense assemblage o f perinea The &et named culprit had been convicted of the wilful murder of his cousin, Daniel Joseph State, at W a kli kt on the 29th of August. The wretched murderer was a farmer occupying the official position of overseer and ea,. warden at Waklitch, a village about a mile from Bridpo r k ' the murdered man being his first oonein, and only bring about 100 yards away. There had been repeated diaemstoo l between them, which lad to great animosity, the culprit especially entertaining teenage of stroeg hostility to arait h his rotative. On the morning of the murder the prisoo e , was standing at his hour* door in the village, having a gn u in his hand, and, his cousin posing by at the time, the ellipen took a deliberate aim, and shot poor Stone in the back of the head. The murderer then attempted suicide, but in yak. When he was taken into custody, and told that his po or victim was dead, he merely replied, " Yes, I supper* he ie. He has been teasing me for long. He has mule me ve r , nervous for the last month." The defence set up wu in. sanity, bat that failed to unwind the jury. The other murderer, Alfred Presdy, was of a far different clam He was only 20 years of age, and while at Perim, prison, undergoing • sentence of peed servitude, m u ,. dered Cherie.; Erma, one of the warders. At the trial the prisoner (ought and kicked to such an extent as to necessitate his being placed in irons, his howlin g , screaming, and execrations delaying the proceedings for op. wards of two honrs. This conduct was, se sappose.l, to support the theory of his insanity. Since his conviction and condemnation he has behaved himself with g lu t bravado, but ultimately was brought to a better frame of mind. . . . Shortly before the time appointed, Csderaft, the execu tioner, performed his terrible task of pinker/us the two culprits, io the presence of the Under Sheriff, the governor of the gaol, lir. J. V. D. Lawrence ; the chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Watson, and the other gaol officials. The demeanour of both the wretched men Rai quiet, and they appeared very contrite. A few minutes after the scaffold bad bees reached the bolt vas withdrawn ; and though both struggled violently, their sufferings were but of short duration. The concourse of people was quite orderly.
