7118 GREEK QUESIION.

The Greek Committee in London has issued an
address to the Greek electors in England on the ap-
proaching choice of a king. The address contains
the following passages :
Let us consider the peculiar qualifications which
we are entitled to seek in the selection of a king. It
is, in the first place, of the highest moment that we
should choose a prince who has been trained under
a constitutional system, and who, from habit and
education, would systematically uphold the supre-
macy of the law. He should, moreover, come from
a country in which he has learnt the value of free
municipal institutions, which Greece ought never
to have lost, and which should be restored under his
fostering hand. It is also important that he should
be embued with those principles of government
which gave the first place to civil and constitutional
authority, and which would forbid the waste of the
resources of the country upon a large standing army
when such a force would lend no strength to a good
Government, and when patriotism would make
every citizen a volunteer, if his country were
assailed. The future King of Greece ought like-
wise to come from a family accustomed to promote
industrial progress and practical education, of which
our country has great need. The position of Greece
and the character of her population point to the
development of a mercantile marine. Under an en-
lightened Administration, her ships of commerce
would soon float upon every sea, and if her Sove-
reign possessed a knowledge of naval affairs, his
personal influence would promote this much-wished-
for result.

Let us not derogate from the merits of other
princes, when we point to Prince Alfred of England,
as the one which obviously combines the qualities
and advantages which our countrymen should seek.
We need not allude to the benefits that would re-
sult from a closer connection with so industrious a
country as England, and it would be contrary to the
principles of her Government, and the known
wishes of her people, to exercise any improper in-
fluence over our internal affairs. He would be the
independent Sovereign of an independent peopler.
It would be for us to make him proud of the nation-
ality we should confer upon him. We might con-
fidently hope that he would sympathise with our
glorious history, and be satisfied with that legiti-
mate ambition for the future which now fills the
heart of every son of Greece.
We might also be sure that he would make the
voice of our country heard on behalf of our fellow
Christians who are still under Turkish rule, and
that he would contribute to secure for them the full
benefit of the concessions which have been ob-
tained through the good offices of the Great
Christian Powers.

In pointing to the fittest prince that could be
elected to occupy the vacant throne of Greece, let
us, in the first instance, choose representatives who
will carry out, this idea. Let us avoid everything
which could give offence to other Governments, and
trust they will respect our rights.
May God protect the interests of Greece !
M. E. RODOCANACIII,
Chairman to the Greek Committee.

THE SUN.

LONDON, FRIDAY, DEC. 5, 1862.

His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES having
come of age last month, will lrly next year be
espoused to the Danish Princess. ALEXANDRA. The
announcement just given to the world, by order of
our SOVEREIGN, authorising the celebration of the
latter event at Windsor with " the utmost magni-
ficence," cannot fail to yield the fullest and the most
heartfelt satisfaction to the loyal subjects of the
Crown. It contains within it the very first inti-
has overtillinroWee ti-e 4 tig1i549,144, gr whichoef
lamented death of his late Royal liighneEs, It is
not, of course, that because of the lapse of time
there is any diminution whatever in the regrets of
the nation, any more than in the poignant, and
we may be absolutely certain also, the enduring
anguish of the SOVEREIGN. It does, however, in-
dicate that after the lapse of a whole twelvemonth
given up to evidences of unaffected and reverential
sorrow on the part of all sections of the community,
the QUEEN and the people, without one iota of
abatement in their grateful and affectionate
remembrance of all that was so truly noble
and admirable in the career and character
of his late Royal Highness—will turn now
with more cheerful emotions towards the future—
hoping and praying from their inmost hearts that
the eldest son of that venerated " Father of our
Rings to be," may emulate in his whole life that
of H. R. H. the late PRINCE CONSORT.

In some respects it is almost matter of regret that
the ceremonials of the marriage of the Prince of
WALES with the Princess ALEXANDRA of Denmark
will not take place among the loyal inhabitants of
the metropolis. 1862 having passed by without
the capital having one fleeting glimpse of the Court,
without the customary aid to its prosperity occa-
sionally derived from what is called the Season—
that Soci2l System of which the Court is, as it were,
the Central Luminary—it might have been wished
that London and Westminster would have wit-
nessed, according to precedent, the espousals of the
heir to the Crown. Nevertheless, while venturing
to remark thus, we cannot but recognise, upon the
instant, the touching significance of the exceptional
selection made now by the QUEEN herself, when
naming Windsor as the scene of the marriage ceie-
mony. Windsor being chosen—who can doubt it P
who does not comprehend this upon the first
moment of the announcement ?—Windsor being
chosen chiefly for the
.one sufficient and affect-
ing reason that it is nearest to the death place,
to the grave, to the inanimate remains of " ALBERT
the Good," the beloved Father, the lamented Hus-
band ! Apart even from that all-sufficient plea in
favour of an exceptional selection like this of St.
George's Chapel at Windsor, as the structure in
which the Prince and Princess of WALES shall be
united in marriage—there is an obvious reason in
favour of such a preference over the little Chapel
Royal at St. James's, on the mere score of con-
venience. Fora ceremony of Royal magnificence,
like the one about to be prepared, St. George's
Chapel at Windsor is certainly in every respect
more suitable than the comparatively insignificant
Chapel Royal here in town, within the homely
walls of which these stately pageants have, during
so many successive reigns, been crowded together.
There at Windsor the projected conduct of
the marriage ceremony with the utmost
magnificence (according to the express man-
date of the SOVEREIGN), is a result in some
measure at least capable of achievement. Whereas
at St. James's the accomplishment of any such
design is an exploit, we take it, in every way just
absolutely beyond- the reach of realization. Those
who witnessed—not so very many years since—the
Inb
beloved
ceremony which united together for more
than a Score of happy
nese, and eventful years our
retain stili h.lB. late Royal High-
, will and..
membranes the cram 'mildly within their re-
d and crowded aspect of the
Chapel where those twope bering the solemn i were made one. Rer-...em-
raport of the union of that
Young QUEEN reigning over
august pair—the fairthis vast, nay, even we tierorld m
-wiAdejEßslmypire, and the
handsome young Prince
had selected
from all the world as her Royal Consort—

reflecting upon the import of that momen-
tous union even then, and recalling to mind
the memorable character of the blended careers
which were there inaugurated—it was literally as
an Iliad in a nutshell. Altogether a striking
contrast, this marriage ceremony at St. James's, to
the regal pomp attendant upon that earlier cere-
mony in Westminster Abbey, the sumptuous and
gorgeous ceremony of Her MAJESTY'S Coronation.
With the dawn of the new year there is reason
now to hope that there will be brought
at length more clearly within our view the opening
up of happier and brighter times to the whole
nation. It is true that, even according to the
more sanguine calculations that have been made
by Lord STANLEY and others as to the probable
passing away of the direr effects of this deplorable
Cotton Famine in Lancashire, there wou!cl still
remain, when 1862 has closed, and when 1863
has commenced, a full quarter of a year before
there would be recognised in the north very appre-
ciable alleviation of the present Distress. Still—
allowing this estimate to be in any moderate degree
correct—the period looked forward to, four months
hence, the conspicuous period when there may be
seriously anticipated (if we are to credit Lord
STANLEY'S most encouraging calculation) this
earnestly prayed for diminution of suf-
fering among the factory operatives of
Lancashire, will be simultaneous with the advent of
the joyous spring time of 1863 when the heir to the
toUVW LS %A Mo blavr-paa L sr me wo ye thaw Sttal jww..,„
Danish Princess ALEXANDRA. Regarding those
two anticipations alone now reasonably before us
in the early part of the approaching new year,
we cannot but think there is cause enough
to look forward with gladdened hearts to
1863, though we do so, yet from the midst of the
national mourning for the PRINCE CONSORT, to
which it might be said that its predecessor
(this current year of grace, 1862) has been in a
manner consecrated by the anguish of the SOTE-
REIGN and the sympathy of her people. Looking
forward hopefully to 1863, though we do so yet
from the midst of the midst of the appalling and
still-increasing miseries of our sorely afflicted but
brave-hearted fellow countrymen in Lancashire.

All our readers will be aware that we have shared
the common admiration of Southern skill and
bravery in war ; that we have felt the charm as
mach as any one of the very word " Independence,"
for which the South professes to be fighting ; and
that we have realised to the full the delinquency
of the North in regard to slavery. We have not.
however—nor, we hope, have our readers—suffered
ourselves to be blinded to the real character of the
contest nowgoing on, and the real aims of the South.
The present contest began on one distinct issue—
the South claimed the power to carry slavery all
over the yet unsettled territories belonging to the
Union, affirming slavery to be the best boon of
Heaven, and thevery culmination of modern civilisa-
tion ; the North refused to concede the claim ;
demanded that all places where slavery did not
yet exist should continue free-soil, affirmed slavery
to be the bane of sooial and political life, and its
gradual self-extinction the object to be sought.
Defective as is the programme of the North, can
any Englishman doubt for a moment which of the
two he would like to see carried out ? Mr. GLAD-
STONE, we observe, in a letter to Professor NEW-
MAN, declares that he "has not thought it his pro-
vince to touch on the complicated question of
praise or blame"—but where is the complication P
In Professor NEWMAN'S admirable reply he shews
that be the shortcomings of the North what they
may, from an anti-slavery nation, such as we pro-
character of having been"legtaalirgin a`''age-
slavery direction ever since the war began to be an
earnest one. Let another thing be noted. Mr.
BUXTON, in his speech, truly says that the meaning
of the Democratic vote of the North really is, that
the majority profess to make any concession to
slavery provided it can rehabilitate the Union.
This, however, only shews how much the Repub-
lican party, who have yet two years of power,
deserve the warm support of England
in their struggle first for free awl, and
now for emancipation itself. We entirely agree
with Professor NEWMAN in his able letter to Mr.
GLADSTONE, nor can we conceive how Englishmen
generally can fail to sympathise with it.
We must confess it is with regret we notice
that we have contemporaries, one of them gene-
rally regarded abroad as an exponent of English
opinion, who convey to American minds the im-
pression that Englishmen, in their eager desire to
see the Union broken up, are perfectly indifferent
both to slavery and its extension. Surely
this ought not to be. The conditions of the

present contest have perplexed many of us,
but if one thing be more certain than another, it
is that all England would hear with exultation of
universal emancipation of the negroes to-morrow.
We do not abate one jot of our opinion on the
horrors of slavery. We know what it is at the
best by too many unexceptionable testimonies.
We accidentally the other day opened Mr.
CHARLES DICKENS' " American Notes." They
were written twenty years ago, and by a tra-
veller whose representations on such a subject
Englishmen would assuredly accept. They
were written when the present phase of
the question could have no influence on his ob
servations, yet even then we find Mr. DICKENS as
warm in his denunciation of the monster evil as any
Abolitionist of the present hour can be. It would
be worth while for any of our readers to turn to the
chapter on slavery in his Notes, where he discusses
the sophisms current in America at that time,
and attempted to be palmed off even now upon
Englishmen. We refer to Mr. DICKENS, both be- ,
cause the writer is known, and his testimony
could be given under no other bias than that of his
English nature.
But there is one point on which, as he himself
remarks, he cannot be mistaken—the evidence he
adduces of the cruelties perpetrated on the negroes
in the South. We are often told about the horrors
of a servile insurrection. Now we remember when
the North threatened emancipation at the begin-
ning of the war the South replied that two could
play at that game, and that if their negroes must
be free they might themselves take the benefit of
freeing them, and enlisting their aid against the
North. Would that that had been their
mind ! We would all have turned Southerners
then. But now that the North is just
about to emancipate in earnest, we hear no more of
Southern emancipation but of " Servile %Var," of
" black savages," and " Africans" to be employed in
the war, as the Indians were by Our generals in the
Revolutionary war.

Now this is about the grossest prversion of facts
we can well conceive of. Ist. These Red Indians
had never been robbed of their liberty, and no right
to attack the whites. 2d. The blacks are as un-
revengeful, and as gentle, as the Indians are
remorseless and cruel. But, lastly, let the reader
look at the following list of advertisements selected
by Mr. 'DICKENS himself from long columns of
them twenty years ago,—and slavery has not
grown milder since,—and ask himself—the
real cause of any apprehension the planters

may feel. We think the answer will be that it is
" conscience which makes cowards of them all."
Here is a casual selection from the long list—
Ran away, Negress Caroline. Had on a collar with one
prong turned down.
Ran away, a black woman Betsy. Had an iron bar on
her right leg. _ _

Ran away, the negro Manuel. Much marked with irons.
Ran away, the negress Fanny. Had on an iron band
about her neck.

Ran away, a negro boy about twelve years old. Had
round his neck a chain dog-collar with 'De Lampert' en-
graved on it.

Ran away, the negro Hewn. Has a ring of iron on his
[eft foot. Also Grise, his unfe, having a ring and chain on
the left leg.

Ran away, a negro boy named James. Said boy was
ironed when he left mo.

Committed to jail, a man who calls his name John. He
has a clog of iron on his right foot which will weigh four or
five pounds.
Detained at the police jail, the negro wench Myra. Has
several marks of LASHING, and has irons on her feet,

Ran away, a negro woman and two children ; a few days
before she went off, I burnt her with a hot iron on the left
side of her face. I tried to make the letter M.
Ran away, a negro man named Henry; his left eye out,
some scars from a dirk on and under his left arm, and much
scarred with the whip.
One hundred dollars reward, for a negro fellow, Porn-
pey, 40 years old. He is branded on the left jaw.
Committed to jail, a negro man, Has no toes on the left
foot.

Ran away, a negro woman named Rachel, Has lost all
her toes except tho largo one,

Ran away, Sam. He Was shot a short time since
through tho hand, and has several shots in his left arm and
side.

Ran away, my negro man Dennis. Said negro has been
shot in the left arm between the shoulder and elbow, which
has paralysed the left hand.
Ran away, my negro man named ninon. lie has been
shot badly, in his back and right arm.
Ran away, a negro named Arthur. Has a considerable
scar across his breast, and each arm, made by a knife ;
loves to talk much of the goodness of God.
Twenty-five dollars reward for my man Isaac. He has
a scar on his forehead, caused by a blow ; and one on his
back, made by a shot from a pistol.
Ran away, a negro girl called Mary. Has a small scar
over her eye, a good many teeth missing, the letter A. is
branded on her cheek and forehead.

Ran away, negro Ben. Has a scar on his right hand ;
his thumb and forefinger being injured by being shot last
fall. A part of the bone came out. Ho has also one or two
large scars on his back and hips.
Detained at the jail, a mulatto named Tom. Has a scar
on the right cheek, and appears to have been burned with
powder on the flee.
Fifty dollars reward, for my fellow Edward. He has a
scar on the corner of his month, two cuts on and under his
arm, and the letter E on his arm.
Ran away, negro boy Ellie. Has a sear on one of his
arms from the bite of a dog.

Ran away, from the plantation of James Surgette, tho
following negroas ; Randal, has one ear cropped ; Bob, has
lost one eye; Kentucky Tom, has one jaw broken,

There can be no doubt that the temper, indi-
cated by these facts, is one from which the poor
negroes, valuable as they are, suffer to this hour.
Yet, so docile, humourous, goodnatured, are they
as a class, that we believe the memory of past
cruelties will be utterly forgotten, and there will
not be the shadow of danger from Emancipation.
The danger will only be from coercing them to
slavery when they know they ought to be free.
The coercionists alone will be the cause of any up-
rising.

EXETER HALL.—Handel's Oratorio, " Judas
Maccabeus," will be given by the National Choral Society

MURDER ON SHIPBOARD.—Maiiiiew Moore, a
seaman on beard the American ship R. L, Lane, was deli-
vered into the custody of United States' Marshal Murray,
yesterday, together with five others of the crew. It ap-
pears that -on the first day of the present month the crew
of the R. L. Lane mutinied. Captain Bryer, who was in
command of the ship, ran forward to ascertain the nature of
the difficulty, Moore and another seaman named Patsey
met the captain, and attacked him with knives, wounding
him so severely as to cause death on the succeeding day.
Mr. Leonard, the first mate of the vessel, seized a hand-
sprit and struck Patsey a powerful blow oa the head, just
as he was about stabbing the captain a third time. The
blow was so terrific as to scatter his brains about the deck
and produce instant death. Moore and five others of the
ringleaders were then secured and brought to this port. An
examination will be had in the matter on Monday. Mean •
time the prisoners are locked up in the Tombs.—New York
World, Nov. 22.

THE STOCK OF COTTON.--The stock of cotton
continues to wane slightly at Liverpool, but the movement
of affairs during the current quarter shows that on the whole
matters have been pretty well sustained, the consumption
having been at last brought within the bounds of the supply.
Annexed is the movement of the stox in October and No-
vember, as compared with the corresponding weeks of 1861
and 1822 :

1862. 1861. 1860.

At the first blush there is nothing very alarming in the
aspect of the figures for the present year, but they are only
enabled to present such a respectable appearance by the im-
mense curtailment in the quantity taken for home con-
sumption, which only reached a total to Nov. 23 this year
of 1,052,700 bales, as compared with 2,113,000 bales in the
corresponding 49 weeks of 1861. 'The consumption this
year has therefore been reduced to less than half the re-
duced demand of 1861, ana any effort to extend it would
have speedily annihilated the stock. It is cheering, how-
ever, to find that the receipts from all quarters aro extend-
ing, even the driblets from America having shown a ten-
dency to increase of late.

AFFAIRS IN VIRGINIA.—The couleur de rose
which was attempted to be put upon the avect of affairs in
Virginia after the removal of M'Clellan has vanished
already. Burnside finds it impossible to advance, and the
probability of his going into winter quarters at Fredericks-
burg is discussed, the Radicals having gone so far as to say
that if Burnside wills it they will be content. It is dis
covered that our armies in Virginia outnumber the rebels
but 50,000, a preponderance that will be lost, and perhaps
reversed, as the army advances towards Richmond. So
desperate is the situation that the Radicals are urging the
Government to call out the uniformed militia of the middle
and eastern States, in order that the troops at Washington
may swell Burnside's force. The inactivity of the navy is
also exciting serious complaints.—New York World.
How HE ESCAPED TILE DRAUGUT.—The I?eading
(Pennsylvania) Times says It is well known that Com-
missioner Knapp was very precise and exact in his proceed •
ings, always keeping an eye to the interest of the country,
while dealing honourably with all. Now, it happened that
among the able-bodied men draughted from one of the
Heidelbergs there wis an obese specimen of humanity, but
whom the chances hit as one of the elect. When he received
his ticket for draught' he hastened to Reading, and, know-
ing where lived the cutest specimen of a lawyer, he went
straight to his dike. Said he I'm draughted.' The
deuce you aro ; it must have been a strong man that
draughted you!'
Well, draughted, and I want to get
out. Can't, march. I'll
pay well." Very well.' The twain
proceeded to the office of the Commissioner. ' Here,' said
the lawyer, Commissioner, I have a substitute.' Commis-
sioner looked at the wheezy specimen for some time. 'He
won't do ; can't march.' But he must do,' blundered out
the lawyer; and you know he will." He can't march—
be won't do—and I can't take him,' This is what our smart
friend wanted. He won't do, eh ?" No, he won't.'
' Well, then, scratch his name off the list—he is draughted
and wants to be exempted 1' The Commissioner looked
at the lawyer for about a minute; then regarded the fat
draught, and, without speaking a word, scratched off his I
name In
