Ws quite agree with Mr. Bum ALDISION, in ';
his remarks to the Liverpool Grand Jury on
the " ticket -of - leave " system, that the best
thing you taa possibly do with • discharged
tonvict is " to torn him oat in a colony where the
capital of the country requires an additional quantity
of labour?' we equally costar in the sentiment that
" it is really' humans proceeding to transport persons
with these means of redemption Were them, rather
than by keeping them in this country to eat
off all chances of redemption." These are not
only truths but truisms. The difficulty begins after
all these concusiocs are made, when we coma to
the question where is the solony to be found that
will be at once able and willing thus to absorb the
curie labour we are only too eager to supply. If
this difficulty be once solved, the whole question is
solved ; and we should be only too happy to think
that the Government of the Mother Co•ntry might
be able to offer to the Cottages such a system of
wisely regulated convict expatriation as to induce
them to consent to the experiment.
8o desirable, indeed, do we think this object, so
strongly impressed are we with the difficulty which
nin►tenths of our prisoners, whether coaditionally
or absolutely discharged, most always feel in yew
gibing a social statue in this ountry,that we believe
it might be quite worth while to try whether •
spooks of pious fraud may not in sours degree
unomplish what direct means fail to effect. We
can see little that is objectionable sad much that is
advantageous in the plan suggested by more than
one witness before ;the Commons' Committee, for
enabling convicts while undergoing coofineount in
this country to earn a sum, by extra work.
which, when the period of their discharge arrives,
shall be devoted to their transhipment to the Austra-
lian or American colonies. The oily obstacle in the
way of real sing such a plan se this is the jealous
vigilance which now animates the colonial population
spinet the admission of any new emus in the
slightest degree infected with the convict taint.
As long as this feeling exists in its w-
ent intensity it will be exosediagly difficult, even
ha the mod favourable eases, to pass off any num.
bar of discharged convicts as independent solooists.
It tumid, for the same resale, hs of course impossi•
hie to maintain any colonial surveillance over those
who are t►us sent out. The method proposed, in fact,
could only be resorted to as a means of getting rid of
the best class of convicts, when the penal portico of
their sentence had come to a close; and, under the
most favourable circumstances, it could only apply,
we fear, to a very limited portion even of these.
To have ignored the difficulties which thus lie is
the way of • return to effective Transportation u
an available means of dealing with the bulk of oar
more serious offenders, was a grave error in Mr.
Berea ALDER/002111 charge; it was an ovenight
almost equally great to have failed to point out the
distinction between the system of conditional dis-
charge contemplated by the Act of 1863, and the
practice of ticket of leave as married out between
that time and this by the Hoess-oillos. The AA of
1863 set only made the convict's discharge oseditiosal
epee his good conduct while in prises, bat the coo-
Bounce of ►k lkenes to be at large conditisual on
his good conduct when out of prison. The holder of
the license was informed by an express petite on
the book of it that association with thieves, disor-
derly courses, a life passed without visible amass of
s•baistence, should subject him, without any fresh
coovictios, to recommitment for his original term.
Such was the language of Parliament; but suit hoe not

POLITSCHNIC

The Itsdepeedance Beige of yesterday publishes the
text of the memorandum addressed by the Cabinet of
Bt. Petersburg to England, Austria, France, Prussia,
Turkey, and Sardinia, being en expose of the steps
taken by Russia towards carrying out the Articles
20 and 21 of the Treaty of Paris.
The memorandum sets out with the Remiss ven=om
of the dispute relative to the Isle of Serpents. This
place not being the abject of any express stipulation
in the Treaty, and remaining unoccupied during the
war and at the time of the coselusion of pesos,
Russia, in June last, considered that the stag
quo should be restored, and that it was her
duty to take charge of the lighthouse, as before.
Finding, however, that a Turkish detachment was
there, the Emperor, through Baron Brunnow, proposed
to the French Cabinet the immediate assembling
of the Conference to decide to whom the island
should belong. The spot is declared to be
valueless in a political or military point of
view to Russia; but it is indispensable for
bar commerce that the lighthouse be kept in
order. At this epoch, when the proposal for a Confer-
ence seemed to meet with the concurrence of the Cabi-
nets of Vienna and London, a new incident arose in
the difference of opinion between the delegates of
the contracting powers charged with the recti-
fication of the Bemerablan frontier. The memo-
read= proceeds to enumerate the many facili-
ties granted by the Emperor to the dele-
gates in the course of their labours, Russia being
represented as giving way on ell doubtful points, and
sacrificing important interests in the desire to pro.
mote the common object. Is one ease, an
intendment rejected by the Congress is represented
as having been reproduced by the delegates of the
Allies, and, from the motives referred to, accepted by
Russia. More than three-fourths of the line of demarca-
tion wee arranged by the delegates, and in a preliminary
convention, signed on the 30th of August, the results
of their labours, including fear plus for the removal
of the remaining obstacles, wen submitted to the
respective cabinets. It is here 'sprawly asserted that
that the map of Bolgrad used in the Coignes while
the question of Bolgrad was under consideration
was supplied not by ;Ramie bat by the French
cabinet. The importune to Reds of Bolgrad
the chief town of the Bulgarian colonies, was
expressly stated by the Russian pleniktontiaries, and
the Congress, it is asserted, was unanimous in con.
ceding it to Russia, by making the frontier line pass
to the south of that plane. The respective propositions
of the delegates are given at length, and it is
mentioned that after the embalm caused by
the error in the maps, a compromise suggested by
the French Commissioner was agreed to by Russia,
bat the Austrian, English, and Turkish delegates did
not feel authorised to accept It. This question
furnished mother Iselin for the reassembling of
the Conference, and a demand to this effect was
renewed by Russia on the 19th of September,
through a note from Baron Brunnow to Count
Walawski. The French Minister accordingly, and
in the name of his government, invites the other
cabinets to decide in amnion upon the points in sus-
pease. In order that this diplomatic reunion might
supply a final gelation of the difficulty, Count We-
lewski demanded of Baron Brunnow if Ramis, par-
ticipating in the deliberation, would conform to the
decision of the majority. To this question, trans-
mitted to St Petersburg by telegraph, a reply in the
affirmative was instantly given. The authors of the
memoraohnn proceed to contend that Russia has
gone Wiredwhat was required of her by the Treaty;
and they adduce veriouscinumetances in proof thereof.
AU the cabinets, it is urged, have an interest in hasten-
ing the settlement of the differsems, in order that
the omen whisk have contributed to delay the exe-
cution of the Treaty of Paris in more than one of its
most essential stipulations be removed. The Danu-
bian Principalities, above all, demand the fulfilment
of the promises contained in the Treaty. Before
their wishes can be anomplished, those wishes mut
first (it is remarked) be heard ; and to be pronounced
freely, they mast be manifested without the presence
of a foreign force. In the Congress, Austria showed
with how much more rapidity her troops could
evacuate the Principalities than the Allies could leave
the Crimea; bat the English and the French troops
evacuated the Ottoman territory nes before the al-
lotted term, and yet the Austrian troops have not
left Moldavia. Austria, therefore, it is sar-
castically observed, cannot bat be anxious
to see the frontier Tanana settled, and
the impediments in the way of evacuation removed.
Frame, too, having bees the first to lay down the
principle of the neutrality of the Black See,
has the right to k* foe the fulfilment of
a stipulation based on the Articles 11 and 14 of the
Treaty of Pease. Finally, the governments and na-
tions which have accepted with confidants the conclu-
sion of peace, es a new parents, for the security of
the general repose, would see with surprise and regret
that the cabinets who signed and sealed the Treaty
of Peace were unwilling to confer together upon
a simple difficulty of detail which Ramie submits
to their decision.
