THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1858.

There ought to be no delay, then, in making this
Colony a home for those whom you could not, even
were it politic to do so, drive from He shores. Govern-
ment has taken ample powers from Parliament ; and
so indication has yet appeared in any accounts from
the new territory that those who have tome there lboes
a distance are unwilling to submille every legitimate
amend which ought to be made upon them. !its
HOSE= to dig for gold have been paid for without
11111111Inft, and even the unlawful requirements of the
Basiese's Bay C mipany have been acquiesced in. We
Wien the task, then, whisk Sir BCLWER LTTTON
Ina before him is es easy as it is cheering, if only
he will shake off those ancient dilatory habits which
are the curse of the Colonial-olice, and deal with a
prompt and open-handed liberality with those whole
it will he dangerous and expensive hereafter te
seem. Ws have every reason to think that Sir
Bri.vram LTTTOX is soxious to do right, and we are
theekill that the destinies of the rising colony are
net Is the hands of that Palmerstenian clique, whose
illsseality was unbounded in words and in promises,
het whole fate it was, even in the benefits which
they did confer, never is mate satisfaction or con-
ciliate affection.

IT seems that the two prizemen of the Society of
Arts, who were nominated by Lord DERBY at the
regale of that Society to compete for places in the
Gammas, have proved themselves superior to the
stber candidates. The two places have been filled
up by means of a competitive examination, and the
weeeekhl candidates turn out to be not the private
waken of the Minister, but those who obtained the
right to compete by their own merits. This is an
important fact, fraught with considerable cone.-
gaiasse. At present, as every one knows, with very
kw exceptions, no young man can obtain a place in
the civil service of Government unless he can obtain
a nomination. Even though the prize is to be given
to the best candidate, the general rule is, that
the Minister selects or nominates all those
who are to be allowed to enter the ex.
estimation room. To his patronage political
jobbers cling with the most desperate tena-
city. They justify their obstinacy by the alleged
security thus afforded of obtaining for the public
service men of gentlemanly habits and strict morality.
Asoording to these political Matoworms, there are
moral qualities whish are beyond the ken of ordinary
examiner,, but which gray-haired intriguers are
both able and willing to detect at a glance. The
theory may seem plausible to a Secretary of the
Treasury or to a hungry Irish member. But, unfor-
tunately, it is utterly inconsistent with fact. As we
have stated more than once, according to the LA
report of the Civil Service Commissioners, no fewer
than fourteen candidates nominated by Ministers
were rejected for want of moral character, and now k
seems the Prime Minister himself is content to accept
the award of the Society of Arta as a guarantee of
good character and fitness to enter the Civil Service of
the Crown. It would be absurd indeed seriously to,
discuss the question whether the young man whim
obtains a prize given by the Society of Arts is Ins
fit to enter the Civil Service than • young man whose
friends have private interest enough to obtain a
nomination. The test of merit is obviously the beet.
The difficulty is not in showing dispassionate per-
sons which is the correct view, but in persuading
politicians to act upon that view. Happily
Lord Dentir has practically admitted the principle.
The thin end of the wedge is inserted: it must now
be pushed home. If those who have obtained prizes
from the Society of Arta are thought fit to compete
for situations in the public service, why should
not others who have shown their industry
and capacity in • similar way be allowed the
same privilege? The Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge have inaugurated a great scheme of Mid-
dle-clams Examinations. Oxford at least has consented

to allow the better candidates the privilege of at-
taching A.A. to their names, and Cambridge is will-
ing to grant certificates. What should hinder any
one of the young men thus distinguished from being
allowed to compete for any Government place ? Noe
need it stop here. If the certificate of the Society of
Arts is sufficient, why should not the certifi-
cate of any head of a College or University
be sufficient also to entitle any young man
to become a candidate ? There can be no

possible difficulty in settling a list of persons
and of institutions who should be entitled to nomi-
nate candidates for the Civil Service. Acting, in-
deed, upon the principles which have been long
advocated in theca columns, and which on a recent
occasion ware so ably explained and enforced
by Mr. Rossccx and Sir Janes GRAIILY in

the Haase et Coremeee, the better plan wield

no doubt he to examine all candidates who chose to
present themselves. But if this result cannot be ob-
tained at once, let the public by all means have the

competition u wide as possible. Lord DrABT, by
what Ise has just data, has admitted the certificate

of the Society of Arts to an equality with the pri-
vate certificate of the Minister. The privilege
thus granted is tally appreciated, and ham
practically proved a success. Let the ad-
mission be oarried to its legitimate come-
Racoon. Let the certificates of other bodies,
saes as the Universities, of the great public Schools.
sad of the Government Inspectors, be placed upon an
aqua footing. If a young diplomatist is wanting,
hit any person of the requisite age who has the car-
What, of the Head of his college or of his school
be admitted to compete. Abolish the invidious ne-
cessity of claiming kindred with the PLANTAGENrrs,
or of having some aunt or cousin who charmed the
Foreign Secretary in days gone by. Release honour-
able and high-spirited men from the wretched de-
gradation of soliciting to be allowed to compete for a
public situation which they are willing to
win by their own merit. The plea thus suggested
would benefit everybody. It would relieve politi-
cians from the pressure to which the palmation of
presage subjects them—it would supply the public
service with better officials—above all, it would allow

bus sups to those who are now debarred from serv-
ing their country either because they are withoat
interest, or became they will not stoop to them
means by which alone they can obtain nominations.

IMPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FRIDAY Strzettio.
The Emperor and Empress, after their 'return to
Paris, on the Mat of August, will rest for a short
time at St. Cload. The Emperor win; before -the
end of the month, escort the Empress to Biarritz,
and, leaving her there, will make a trip to the
Chilmis Camp. The day spoken of for his return to
Biarritz is September 25.
Prince Napoleon entertained at d;nuer, the day
before yesterday, in his new residence, in the
Champs Elystes, MM. Emile de Girard;n,
Housasye, Angier, Arago, Roqueplan, Com-
mander Ferri-Pisani, and Dr. Coburn..

The following passages oocur in a pamphlet just
published in Pm* entitled /' Cherbourg and
England :"
The history of England lea permanent sandal; the suc-
cess of England disco-be the ecasehates like the tight eta lucky
brigand. Bat if the brigand somedasen amp= punishment
on earth, It is not so with cities or mottoes. Where mew is
Carthage? where will haughty England be to-morrow?
France now feels herself sufficiently powerfal to compel
Ragland to be equitable towards her and her allies. If England
cannot be equitable without perishing, let England perish 1
England, et Insert is torah!, and her ill-disguised terror is
inspired by her troubled conselenoe. England obtained the
fret rank smonget nations only by surprise. She now di-
smale to her natural position. At the beginning eke will
grumble, but she will soon become accustomed to her fate.
When the privileged classes of England declaim against
France, let them reflect on the amount of support t►ey
would obtain from the English people on the day when a
French general should present himself with universal suf-
frage in one hand and the Code Napoleon in the other. From
the pressed moment It is not only to Heaven that the English
workmen will appeal in his misery ; he will also kcep his
eyes axed in the direction of Cherbourg, and seek to discover
la the cloudy horizon the approach of the fleet of deli-
verance.

The Courrier de Paris is at the pains of saying
that this publication does not represent the feelings
of the French nation. This is quite true, but it
does represent the venom and the guileful purposes
of tolerated vipers that infest the French Court.
_ . .

The Prefect of the Sande, in a circular to the
sub-prefects, mayors, justices of the peace, com-
manders of gendarmerie, and police commissioners of
his department, on the subject of the new regula-
tions regarding the hawking of books and pam-
phlets (colportage), says that on account of the
small number of protestant' in bis department he
is directed by the Minister of the Interior to class
protestant Bibles with writings contrary to the
faith of the majority, and to interdict their circula-
tion, even although they may be properly stamped.
I do not like so soon after the meeting of Cherbourg
to make any comment upon this marvellous fact.
The Bonne has been decidedly heavy. The Bank
returns, showing a large increase in the bullion while
the discount accommodation remains nearly sta-

tionary, do not indicate any improvement in com-
mercial affairs, and have produced a feeling of dis-
appointment. The Rent. fell be. for cash and 20c. fur
account, closing at 68fr. 95c. in each case. Mobilier
fell 12fr. 50e. The favourable returns of the railway
receipts for the week produced little effect on prices,
which were generally lower than yesterday. Sales
were pressed on the Southern line, in consequence of
M. Reuher's absence while the treaty remains un-
signed, and the shares fell 7fr. 500. Orleans and
Eastern also fell 7fr. 60c. each. Lyons and Western
declined sfr. each.

I have mentioned in former letters, be of vast
to Syria. We have at present some of the
Inset wheat, to say nothing of what I believe to be
the Surat barley in the world, growing within fifty
'Riles &this, bat, owing .. to the great expense of
carriage to and fres the interior, it cannot be ex-
ported from tie esantry—it cannot indeed be con-
sumed, except in the immediate neighbourhood, unless
at a dead loss. The proposed railroad to Damascus
will open out all these districts, and will rednoe the
price of carriage full 60 per cent. This road will
also increase greatly the English import trade of
Syria.
The silk crop all over Syria and Lebanon is now
ended, and has turned out below that of average
years by nearly one half. In the various silk reel-
ing factories they are now busy reeling the cocoons,
and every steamer takes away a large quantity of
silk for Marseilles. Orders, too, have arrived from
Europe for oil, sesame seed, and other produce, so
that upon the whole the place is recovering fast
from its late mercantile sickness, and the business
bumming as good es ever, and upon a more solid
bask than formerly.
There is a subject which has gradually. forced
itself upon the attention of all European residents in ,
Turkey—l mean the return to their ancient bigotry
and their hatred of Christianity of all those who
profess Mahometanism. In this part of Syria, where
Christians are in a very decided majority over Mae-
salmons, we do not perceive it so much ; but even'
here—more especially amongst the Osmanli Turks,
who come from Constantinople or Smyrna in govern-
ment employment—we see day by day that the fol-
lowers of the Prophet withdraw themselves more
and more from all intercourse with either Christians
or others, and blame openly those of their own creed
who formerly made it fashionable to break down the
wall of separation. This is not a move which can date
further back than two years ago; and many of the
more intelligent Turks, whilst lamenting that it
should ever have arisen, do nevertheless admit that
it is on the increase, and that it will soon be as
rare as it was thirty years ago to see a Mussulman
on good or friendly terms with any one who does not
believe in the Koran. There is also an evident
uneasy, restless spirit visible amongst the lower orders
of this creed, and a looking forward amongst them
to a day when they can take up the sword spinet all
unbelievers. In Syria—or in this part of it at any
rate—the Christian population so greatly outnum-
bers the Musaniman; that there is nothing to be
afraid of; but I have 'more than once heard it hinted
—and this too by men not at all given to believe in
ghosts—that it would not be surprising if some
day a very general rising of Mahometans wad to
take place all over Turkey. Although anything but
an alarmist, I would strongly advise mere than
the usual number of men•of-war to be kept in these
seas, for it would need but the slightest spark to
light a flame of fanaticism in Turkey and Asia Minor,
to which the horrors of the Indian mutiny would be
ea nothing. The advice is disinterested, for, as I
said before, in Syria we have nothing to fear, being
rrounded by an armed Christian population.
_ _ _

We have just come to an end of the Beirsm
festival, which lasts four days, and during which
the quantity of powder expended is very great
indeed. The Turkish soldiers all sport new clothes
on the occasion, and poor indeed must be the
official or private individual who cannot afford a new
tarboosh and new coat. There has been in the roads
a Turkish three-decker, which has contributed with
its guns not a little to the general noise.
