THE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 16, 1862. The long-expected Persia has at last arrived—the failure of one of her engines much more than de stroying all the advantage she might have derived from the late westerly winds. The tidings she was to bring us enhanced the anxiety with which we awaited her, as we knew that she was to place on our desks the President's second Message. We have it at last—the telegraphic summary at least—this morning. We may say, in a word, that it disap points sadly the pro-Southern journalism of this country. On the great question of the hour, it is at once firm, yet conciliatory. It shows that the President is determined to maintain the Union, to get rid of slavery in order to do so, and yet to give every opportunity to the South to emancipate gra dually and with fair compensation, The Southern prophets in England were expecting either blood and thunder, or cowardice. They find neither; but they do find that the second Message is based on the principle, that for the safety of the Union slavery must die. Slowly, that is in 28 years, if that be preferred, but mortal it must be. The new Southern Republic proclaimed Slavery Divine, therefore immortal. The Federal Government, through its President, proclaims it earthborn, therefore mortal, and, as a Roman might have said, moriturus. The PRESIDENT first lays it down that a division of the States is impracticable. That there is no line, straight or crooked, suitable for a national boundary upon which to divide. The present strife is, he says, a passing one; it belongs only to this generation, and cannot be passed on to another. Meaning, we presume, that a division of the States would be a fertile source of disunion for future gene rations. Europeans may not so easily see the validity of the basis thus laid for his policy, which follows ; but, we presume, this view is eminently acceptable in the North to Democrats as well as to Republicans. Union worship is the worship of the Northern States. All political parties there are willing to sacrifice any consideration to that of being prospectively the mightiest nation upon earth. And Mr. LINCOLN is, doubtless, politically right in firmly declaring separation to be an im possibility. He then proceeds to develope his emancipation scheme. It is founded on the second paragraph of his proclamation, and is briefly described as "com pensated emancipation." It is to be effected by the process known to the Constitution, of two-thirds of both Houses concurring to lay certain articles of amendment of the Constitution before the States belonging to the Union; these articles to be adopted into the Constitutions of the several States, by a majority of three-fourths in conven tions called for the purpose. The first article is that every slave State which shall abolish slavery at any time prior to January, 1900, shall receive compensation from the United States. Presidents of the United States are to deliver United States bonds, bearing a certain interest, for every slave ascertained to have been such, at the eighth census (that of 1860)—the bonds to be delivered by in stalments or in one sum, according as the emancipation is gradual or immediate. It appears singular, however, that the States should be at liberty to reimpose slavery; since pro- vision is made, in case they should do so, for their refunding the bonds. The second article provides for the liberty of all who have been actually emancipated by the chances of war before the end of the rebellion: loyal owners, however, on proof of their loyalty are to receive a fair:compensation. By this article the PRESIDENT, as we understand him, proposes to carry out his proclamation for the first of January. That proclamation is a military not a civil mea sure, and all slaves emancipated under it will obtain their freedom through the "chances of war." Mr. LINCOLN thus holds over the beggared South the alternative—compensation, if you will take it; compulsory emsneipation if you will not. We shall in a few hours, when we have received the full message, be in a better position to judge of the scheme as a whole. But as it lies before before us at this moment, it appears to be a declaration that the war shall be carried on with the utmost vigour, as if no terms were offered, while yet, terms which ought,without such a threat to be willingly accepted, will be freely proffered. If the South does not accept them, if it resolves to fight for slavery at all costs and hazards, then let every Englishman blush to say one word more On its behalf. The future fighting will be more undisguisedly than ever for slavery, and for no. thing else ; an d t h e war on the part of the North one of emancipation. Th e i ssue , we may h ope, c ould hardly h e d oubtful. The Federal Govern merit, th ough by loans of one kind or another, chiefly, h as paid its to its cre di t— i t musters 800,000 equipped and on the field ; an d w h en million s o f d ollars wa y with a balance of fourteen men actual.y the quotas are completed will have a million. Most important of all, i t reckons up a N avy o f 323 steam and 104 sailing vessels, carrying in all 3,268 guns, w ith which alone it could almost, i n time , squeeze, the slaveholders into submission. Mr. LmcoLii speaks as well as we c ou ld expect of foreign nations. He has some censure for those who so easily recognised the belligerent position of the South. It was unwise and unnecessary, and he had hoped in June last that the powers would have receded from a position, as he thinks, injurious to themselves, as well as to the North. He thinks also that foreign nations have contem plated the American struggle less with reference to its merits than to its effects, which were often exaggerated, on themselves. Still he thinks that for America to complain would be unwise, even though it might be just. In this country, we apprehend, the merits of the case have been everything. It is true a good deal of feeling has been temporarily created on behalf of the South, but it began entirely through the tem porising of the North with slavery, and the North is regaining the good-will of England, just in pro portion as it shows itself determined to strike at the root of the war, and at the iniquity which, though locally Southern, has been too much fos tered north of the Potomac. One thing the PRE SIDENT honourably recognises—that England has carried out her treaty for the suppression of the slave trade with a "jealous respect for the autho rity of the United States, and the rights of their • moral and loyal citizens." A singularly magnanimous pamphlet has within the last few days made its appearance at Paris, in relation to this problematic question as to who shall be the new Greek Sovereign. M. BALTAZZI is the Pamphleteer : the title of his brochure being "Le Prince ALFRED et lee interets Francais en Orient." PRINCE ALFRED and EN ORIENT being the conspicuous words upon the title-page— and obviously with a certain significance. As much as possible we shall in what follows let the Parisian publicist who has ventured to touch upon this delicate theme of debate just now among Frenchmen and Englishmen, speak for himself— translating as we turn . the pages a few of the more telling passages in the argument thus put forth. At the very opening of this argument says M. BALTAZZI—" Whether Prince ALFRED may or may not be destined to reign in Greece, the success of his candidature is a Jecognized fact. And the significance of it (that is of this signal success) is too profound for us not to endeavour to signalise the causes of it, and from the indication of those causes to deduce the consequences of an event which has apparently taken the French public by surprise. The policy of the Angle- French Alliance," the writer then adds quite boldly and frankly, " the policy, the value or the worth lessness of the Anglo-French Alliance is now about to be very brilliant and conspicuously signalized in Greece ! When," says M. BALTAZZI, " it is said that the advent of an English Prince to the throne of Greece would be the signal of the ruin in Greece of French interests in the East—that it involves, by necessity, a displacement of equilibrium that could only bring about general complications, there is surely a total forgetfulness that there is such a thing as an Anglo-French Alliance at all, while a flagrant misinterpretation is given to the significance of the predilection which the Greeks are just now manifesting in favour of an English Prince." A few reflections, adds the writer, and those reflections, reflections of the simplest kind, will suffice to put the whole question upon its right footing, and to recall to mind, in some manner, the precise principles out of which the Anglo French Alliance sprang. He then proceeds in the manner following : " The Crimean war has effectively proved that the East is open to domination by one or other of two policies. Namely, that of conquest, represented by Russia; and that of civilisation, represented by France allied to Eng land. Between those two policies ther e is no room left for a third. It is only in a secondary place and in a subordinate sphere that the thousand and one questions, which are continually surging to the surface, enter at times into consideration. And in order to arrive in any way at a sense , of their actual significance, it will suffice to inquire for a moment in what manner any of those minor questions affect the one or the other of those two antagonistic influences between which the East is perpetually balanced and in oscillation. From this point of view let us now examine for a moment the events which have very recently taken place there in Greece. The Revolu tion of the Tenth of October regarded strictly in reference to itself, affects in no degree whatever either the one or the other of these two policies. It was a revolutionary movement directed against the KING, who had no identification with either." Here we take leave to dissent, however, toto calo from the conclusion ar rived at by M. BALTAZZI, in regard to the neu trality of the policy of the ex-King OTno, that policy, on the contrary, being flagrantly sympa thetic with the policy of St. Petersburg, in prefer ence to the coincident policies of St. James's and the Tuileries—and this simply in obedience to the Russian proclivities of the ex-Queen AMELIA—the She Marplot of the interests of the Bavarian Dynasty in Greece ! Returning however to the course of the argument pursued by the Parisian pamphleteer, we find M. BAL TAZZI thus pursuing in its occasionally devious windings the tenacious thread of that argument of his : " Obliged to quit the country which he had disgusted by his incapacity," adds the writer, " King OTHo left behind him no heir to his throne. As the Greeks had actually there and then had the clean sweep of a Revolution, they had, at the moment of the ex-KING'S deposi tion, a perfect right, supposing they had pleased to exercise it, to constitute themselves into a re public : and all the more so, seeing that Greece is peculiarly and essentially the country of equality." Such a decision, however (argues M. BALTAZZI),— in favour of proclaiming a Republic—would have been like entering upon a wild series of specula tions. It would have been committing themselves to the chance of a mere adventure. Prudence drew the revolutionists at Athens, throughout Greece— at once, as by an instinct—to a monarchy, to a monarch. And this new monarch—where WdS he to be found P In Bavaria ? The rights of treaties were in favour of such a direction being followed up. Bavaria was out of the question how ever for very obvious reasons—first and foremost among them being the fact that she had been tried in this way and found a-wanting ! And this by no hasty decision on the part of the Greeks, let it be borne in mind, but by a series of patiently borne and protracted experiments—experiments extend. ing over au interval of thirty years of misrule. Turning from Bavaria to Russia, the pamphleteer recalls to mind at once, most appositely, the famous exclamation of the late Czar NICHOLAS to Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR during the course of one of their memorable conversations apropos to Greece and Turkey—" I should prefer to have the last Russian killed and to spend my last rouble, rather than permit the Greeks to aggrandise themselves in the East." Coming at last to the chief alternative presented to the Greeks in the present not altoge ther disagreeable difficulty---" 'This KING," asks M. RATTAZZI, " shall he be French or shall he be Eng lish ?" Provided only that the choice lit upon one or the other he then argues the question as to which of the two it should be, mattered little or nothing to the Greeks. Without mentioning his Imperial Highness by name, the pamphleteer sets aside as in a manner out of the question the Prince NAPO LEON as one apart from all party, as one with out any clear aim before him in his policy, as one fitted by temperament more for observation than for action. And after this fashion, he respect fully passes by " this Fiench Prince," as he terms him, periphrastically, but pointedly, " whose name is his obly prestige." Summing up the principal claimants otherwise in a sentence, he says (p. 17): —" An indigenous Prince would have humi liated Greece, a Prince allied to Russia would have been in direct antagonism to the national aspirations." Consequently, he says—" Menaced by Russia, unable to demand their new King from France, the Partizans of the Anglo-French Alliance in Greece directed their at tention towards England, and these fixed their regard upon Prince ALFRED, of whom personally they had themselves enjoyed the opportunity of appreciating the many brilliant qualities." The rest of the argument may be readily imagined. It is a vindication of the reasonableness of the choice determined upon almost by an instinct of good taste and discretion by the Greeks them selves. M. BALTAZZI places his reliance implicitly and absolutely on the cordiality and integrity and truthfulness of the Anglo-French Alliance. Greece he says, just towards the close of his argument, has not (it should be understood) demanded an exten sion of territory. She has simply demanded a Prince that diplomacy refuses to her. Has she not, therefore,he asks, a perfect right (in the event of that refusal being persisted in) to demand an in demnity (or compensation) for the sacrifice which Europe thus imposes upon her legitimate aspirations P And the Anglo-French Alliance, has it not, in its turn, an especial interest in seeing now that the brilliant successes just proffered to it there in the East in tribute or in sympathy shall not be abruptly changed into a disaster. Their power (if they so please) to decide the question now at issue, the writer of this out spoken brochure will express, by briefly remarking —" When France and England act in concert, malcontents hold their peace, and the world remains tranquil." A FRENCH CRITICISM ON THE ENG LISH POLICE. The following letter appeared in the columns of a contemporary this morning : Sir, --A fortnight has scarcely passed since you did me the honour to insert a letter of mine in your journal, and I again find myself under the necessity of sending you these few lines, in the hope that you will have the goodness to insert them in your columns. It is the habit in France to speak in terms of high praise of the English policeman and to represent him as being at once gentle and firm, deliberate and vigilant, —as the model in short of Sergents-de-Ville, past, present, and future. I venture to hope, sir, that with your well-known impar tiality, you will allow me to give to the English public in general, and to my countrymen in particular, a sample of the firmness and vigilance of the English policeman. On the evening of Thursday, the 7th inst., the day of the fire in Portpool-lane, at about half-past 7, I passed along a narrow street, named, I believe, Leather-lane. The crowd blocked up the road—those whom I shall name, honest people, occupying the road, whilst the others, of more doubt ful probity, and who appeared to be of the lowest class, were ranged along the pavement. The apparent motive of all was to see the fire, but the real object of a great number, as I shall presently prove, was to rob. As I went along I perceived many hats whirled into the air, a dozen or so of fights, which might be serious or not, and other pastimes of a similar nature, to which I paid no attention, regarding them only as the natural consequences of the jokes allowable between friends and acquaintances on such occasions. But I was speedily undeceived. All at once I found myself surrounded by half a dozen individuals of the most suspicious appearance, the youngest of whom might have been sixteen years of age, and the oldest about five-and-twenty. It did not take me long to guess their motive, and that it was simply to rob me of all I possessed. Some persons in the road called out to me to take care of my hat; but this was the least of my anxieties; the important and essential thing for me being to prevent my arms being pinned to my sides, and, above all, to avoid being thrown to the grcund. My only wea pon, offensive or defensive, consisted of an umbrella, hut I showed a good front to the enemy. This mode of action seemed to astonish my adversaries, and for a moment made them hesitate. They looked at each other, with the evident object of stirring up one another to the attack, but each was unwilling to be the first ; and this moment of indeci sion on their part saved me. I resolved to fall back slowly upon the honest people in the road, or upon the wall of a neighbouring house, and put in practice my feeble knowledge of the French mode of boxing, which has been pleasantly the " savote." Fearing thatthe somewhat c om i c p os iti on i n w hi c h I was placed might speedily turn to a tragic one, I was na turally far from feeling altogether at ease or at hone, but my anxiety was not of long duration. A workman took my hat, passed it to one of his comrades, and, placing himself behind rue, facilitated my retreat. In this way I found myself introduced, always moving backwards, into a pub lic-house, and was saved. I now recovered my hat, and was informed that Ihad been saved by its temporary removal from my head, since, had it remained there, it would have been thrust over my eyes, and that whilst I was unable to see and recognise who robbed me, my aggressors would have found courage to despoil me. A huudred persons had sought refuge in the public house in question, and almost all had been robbed. Two young gentlemen, amongst others, had been completely cleaned out; their watches, chains, hats, and even coats, having disappeared, and—what is almost incredible—the rings belonging to one having been torn from his fingers. After I had remained a good half-hour in the tavern, I resolved to sally forth and brave what danger might remain. Two gentlemen, emboldened by my example, offered to accompany me, and setting out from a side door, we suc ceeded in effecting a passage through the crowd. Now, will be believed that all this took place within thirty or forty feet of a steam fire-engine, and, I must add, of half a dozen policemen, who seemed to make a point of looking in the exactly opposite direction. Without making any commentary upon this, I will simply certify, to the honour of the French police, that such things as those I have described are unknown in France. It may be asked, perhaps, what I was doing in such a place as Leather-lane ? To which I reply that I was there on business, and not as an idler that being a teacher of the French language I have to proceed from one place to another in the shortest possible time, and that I believe Leather-lane to be the most direct route from Charter house to Gordon-square. I will conclude by acknowledging to my shame, that the excitement of the moment prevented me from offering a word of thanks to the labouring man who came to my aid, and whom I shall always regard as having saved me on this occasion. It is possible that these lines may meet his eye, and that they may show him that the person whom he so much obliged was not ungrateful. 3. Ds L. MEXICO. CHINA. Huntingdon-street, N. COURT CIRCULAR.

Both the Federal and Confederate armies are actively engaged is fortifying at Fredericksburg. The Southern journals state that a fleet of 20 Federal vessels sailed from Hilton on the sth inst. for Georgetown or Wilmington. Several Federal vessels had passed Charleston harbour. It was supposed that they were going to assist in attacking Mobile. The same journals assert that 30,000 Federals are at Suffolk, preparing to move against Peters burg, while a Federal force at Newbern, North Car lina, will operate simultaneously against Weldon.

The Federal gunboat Ellis was blown up during the expedition up the New River, North Carolina, to prevent it falling into the hands of the Confede. rates. The Federal commander has informed the autho rities of Fredericksburg that as long as no hostile demonstration was made from Fredericksburg, he should not shell the town. General " Stonewall" Jackson is reported to have joined General Lee at Fredericksburg. .The Confederates are working on the defences of Fredericksburg, and the Federals are erecting for tifications commanding the Confederate positions. The Confederates have captured a train of Federal waggons with ordnance stores in Virginia. ST . NAGAIRE, DEC. 15. The steamship Floride has arrived here with General Lorencez on board, and brings news from Vera Cruz to the 16th ult. During the previous fortnight six vessels had ar rived there, bringing altogether 4,000 men. The corps of General Berder had victoriously entered Jalapa, which was defended by 2,500 Mexicans. A column of 2,000 men had taken possession of Medlin, which is an important position for obtain ing provisions. Twelve companies of the 81st Regiment of the Liue had embarked for Tampico, in order to occupy that place. The 3d Regiment of Zouives were scouring the neighbourhood of Vera Cruz for oxen, destined to complete the means of transport. Another tempest occurred on the 6th November and drove three vessels on shore. Neither of them were French. ST.

The pantomime here is from the pen of Mr. Henry J. Byron, and is entitled" Harlequin Beauty and the Beast ; or the Gnome Queen and the Good Fairy." The first scene is the boudoir of Brutina, the Gnome Queen, who has tried all her charms, such as they are, upon the unsusceptible heart of a captive prince. He will have nothing to say to her, though she calls in the aid of the court coiffeur, modiste, and enameller; and finally brings to her aid the attractions of an allegorical ballet, in which the Prince is successively, bat not successfully tempted by wine, youth, and beauty. Enraged at the callousness of the youth, she changes him to a beast. A good Fairy, whose power is equal to the Gnome Queen's, makes a stipulation with her that should any maiden be found to declare a passion for the transmogrified prince he is to instantaneously assume his original form. Squire Tiddly winks and his man-servant, Muddlehead, are returning home in the family gig, when a terribly high wind drives them into an enchanted wood, in which the trees do all sorts of strange things, we will not spoil our reader's pleasure by anticipating, and in which the belated tra vellers eventuallycome across the palace of the beast. Entering this magic domicile they are entertained most sumptuousiy by fairy attendants, who cut up magical legs of mutton and draw enchanted cham pagne corks, and treat them generally with extreme hospitality. The squire having promised his three daughters a present each, plucks a rose for his youngest child, Beauty, and is immediately seized by the outraged beast, whose horticultural feelings appear of as sensitive a nature as those of the head gardener at Hampton Court. The Squire is about to lose his life when he makes a pathetic appeal, and the Beast lets him go home on a promise to re turn with Beauty. The Squire brings his charm ing child back with him, and the Beast falls in love with her and detains her, permitting the parent to return to his suburban villa. All his attentions, however, are bootless. Beauty adores her father, and refuses to be comforted by the inevitable grand ballet popularly supposed to have a soothing effect upon heart-broken heroines. When she sees in a vision her father utterly broken down with grief, she implores the Beast to let her go, and she is allowed to return to alleviate the Squire's suffer ings, though the Beast says he shall be utterly dis. traught and miserable without her. The return of his child restores the Squire to reason, for since her leaving him he has become a maniac and a prey to a troupe of variously thinkin physicians, and they all start off to the Beast's palace. They are too late, however a the Gnome Queen, afraid that her scheme may fail, has poisoned him, and the poor Beast is discovered dead, to the extreme agony of Beauty. In her wretchedness she exclaims that, were he alive, she would love and wed him, and the Beast immediately vanishes, the original Prince appear ing in his place, to the extreme delight of every body concerned, with the exception of the Gnome Queen, who retires to the sulphurous seclusion of her own residence. The scenery, appointments, decorations, &c., are all on a scale of unexampled magnificence. Mr. Callcott's transformation scene excells anything of the kind before witnessed even in this theatre. NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIEIY. When the Loudon Sacred Harmonic Society, many years ago, began to give the sublime ora torios of Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn and others in Exeter Hall, under the able—it may o, ill requited—management of Mr. Surman, the musical public fancied the ne plus ultra of such perform ances had been reached. Certainly, Burman's band and chorus formed a striking contrast to those of George Frederick Handel, the immortal composer of the Messiah, fain to borrow a couple of kettle drums from the Tower to give effect to his chef d'oeuvre. Surman won well-merited praise, and sustained it for many years; perhaps he is like Handel himself now, taking a turn among the cho ruses. Then came "The Sacred Harmonic Society," with Costa, a different man altogether as compared with Surman, yet both "pointing upwards." Costa in Exeter Hall with his baton as a field marshal; we might venture to say that, as a conductor, he cannot be excelled. Mr. Costa has achieved won ders in conducting the sacred compositions referred to; he is still great, though he too is meeting with a rival likely to cause him to look to his laurels. The columns of The Sun have borne truthful testimony to the musical genius and acquirements of Mr. G. W. Martin, to the sterling character of his prize glees and madrigals, for which he has been lung known, and to his choir of which he is the founder and director. It is first-rate, consisting of nearly 100, mostly all fresh and well-trained voices care fully balanced brought together thus without stint the unexampled choruses of " The Messiah" have justice done to their:. This was eminently the case last night at Exeter Hall. The principal vocalists were Miss Banks, Miss Palmer, the Most gifted and accomplished contralto of the day, Mr. Sims Reeves, the unsurpassed tenor, and Mr, Santley, though last, not least in the musical estimation. The orga nist was Mr. Boardman. Mr. Martin conducted. Mr. Sims Reeves was in splendid voice, and sang in the finest manner ; ho was warmly encored in the morceau, at the commencement of the second part. The famous chorus, "For unto us a child is born," was another encore, and most deservedly so. Miss Palmer at once warmed the auditors by her execution of the air and chorus, "Oh thou that tellest." Miss Banks was almost equally successful, especially in the exquisite air, " How b e autiful," the recitative, " There were shep herds," and th 9 air, " Rejoic e grea tl y. " M r . slnt l e y gave his music like a careful and well educated musician as he is; " The trumpet shall sound," with Harper's unequalled obligato, was magnificent. ThellallaiujChut us wwasrctidered in a style worthy of the sacred theme. The violins, which Handel knew and appreciated so well, aided much in the completenss of a performance redound ing to the artistic honour of all engaged in it. THE TICKET OF LEAVE SYSTEM t- - DEPUTATION OF TIIE LORD MAYOR AND CITY MAGISTRATES TO THE HOME SECRETARY. Yesterday at two o'clock a deputation of magis trates of the City of London, headed by the Lord Mayor, had an interview by appointment with Sir George Grey at the Home Office, in re ference to the existing state of the law ap plicable to the class of hardened criminals and its administration. Besides the Lori Mayor, the deputation was composed of Mr. Alder man Humphery, Mr. Alderman Sidney, M.P., Mr. Alderman Lawrence, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Lawrence, Mr. Alderman Phillips, Mr. Alderman Abbiss, Mr. Alderman Gibbons, Mr. Tyrrell, the remembrancer of the Corporation of London, and Mr. Woodthorpe, the town clerk. At the interview yesterday Mr. Bruce, recently appointed Under Secretary of State, was present. The LORD MAYOR said his brethren of the Court of Aldermen had thought it high time to ask for such an interview, having regard to the lamentable increase of crime. They had latterly been at great expense in reconstructing the prison of Newgate, and had built within the last few years a gaol at Holloway, which, on its completion, was supposed to be far in excess of the actual need, but both those prisons were now inconveniently crowded. The ticket of-leave system resulted from time to time in bringing many old offenders back upon the metro polis—a class of men who, being well known to the police, and branded, so to speak, but few or no op portunities of obtaining honest employment, even if they desired it, and were therefore driven to re sort to their old habits for subsistence. All at tempts to reform criminals of the hardened class, and to punish them at the same time, had ever been beset with difficulty, and the magistrates of the City of London were now of opinion, after all the experience of past years, that the only way of con' trolling this criminal element, and of ensuring the public safety, is by a recurrence to the old system of transportation, though that may be attended with some difficulty, inasmuch as the parts of the world open to the reception of the criminal population ar e not so many or so obvious as 30 or 40 years ago , Next to the great object to be obtained—publi c safety—the question became very much one as re' garded the expense which the criminal class en tailed on the country, and on that ground also he thought the balance of opinion was in favour of well-devised system of transportation. That Wa° the principal object the deputation had in vier/ 1 and they had thought it possible the Governmen t would like to have their hands strengthened by en expression of opinion en the part of the mar steates of the City of London on this vital question. Sir GEORGE GREY said no doubt we at home Wer e , now buffering from the evil of which some 01 the colonies complained when we transported our criminals there. He had determined some time ag e to appoint a commission, composed of members , both houses of parliament, to inquire into the oper a Lion of recent acts of parliament on penal servitude' and especially as to the manner in which sentence° passed under their authority were carried into effec t ' He thought an inquiry so conducted would elicit great deal of valuable information, and result in suggestions which would tend greatly to improve the present system. He had therefore given dir' Lions for a commission which would probably b e issued on Tuesday next. Mr. Alderman HIIMPHERY remarked u pon th e evils arising from a want of uniformity of sentence' some magistrates awarding six months' imprison' ment, and others two for the same species of offe nce ' Sir G. GREY said that arose from having a variety e of persons to administer the law. He himself tike been bantered in the House of Commons a s to th° disparity of some of the decisions by the magistrate° of the City of London, and he had had occasion! call the attention of the metropolitan police magi trates to the same inconvenience. Un d er the Criminal Justice Act they seemed to deal with offenders who ought rather to b e committed trial. As to the tickets of leave, they were colon in the first instance. When it be came necessary tiu restrict transportation the act of 180 was pass ed ' and all sentences of transportation under 14 year s were abolished. Then the ticket-of-leave was in . troduced into England. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE said the great culty with respect to ticket-of-leave men was t hl l . 1; Perhaps every member of the deputation wea' habil' some way connected with trade, yet, prO .00 none of them would take a ticket-of-leave men their service if they knew it. Such men, therefel, inevitably became desperate, and return ed to tbelh old associates and habits. Sir G. GREY said that feeling would ,gist towards criminals of that class whether they c! ..ve , Jut of prison in Sept., say, with a ticket-of orle' in Jan., when their services expired. e eoln' The LORD MAYOR was glad to hear th et de , mission was about to be issued ; but what t he 0 0 putation wanted to express most emphati cally that in their opinion the only practicable r ent the for the present state of things was a return system of transportation in some form or other• o t Sir G. GREY said it was quite useles s to attreoula to transport men under short sentenc es ; it "ocee not be done ; and the great majority of eente o 6 were short. That was one evil the governeaenlllo. to contend with, because even before tranBPuotto tion was abolished it was a common practice inonif send abroad short-sentence men. They conic' lord send abroad men physically able to underg o be e labour ; those that were otherwise w ere sent of e t Mr. Alderman PHILLIPS asked whether' and above the commission about t o be issue l , ; ll thing could be done to appease the public mina tee Sir G. GREY replied that he had instructe ie of metropolitan police to report upon every c: . jo y alleged violence which had been r elated in th lie newspa[ers and had not come under the ev b ° o o sane° of the police courts, and the result lin tl o ill that a great number of these reports were t o e w ithout foundation. One of their ow n City 01004 five officers had recently exposed the utter fele e i.oit t. of a story of that kind which was b r uited e d u eo f He (Sir G.
