MAVROCORDATO, a second works into the hands of ME-
TAXAS or MAVROCORDATO, and a third rejoices in sedition
and bankruptcy, with a view to obtain more power in the
south of Europa. And as if to render these disputes
more ridiculous, Sir IZ. PEEL rind Lord ABERDEEN give
importance to them by speaking at M. •PISCATORY or
rather M. GuizoT, and by reproaching and even me-
nacing the Greek Government while under the direction
of COLETTT, the favourite of France. M. GUIZOT returns
the compliment, and though he professes not to discuss
words which " might have been spoken in another
House of Parliament," he condemns them as improper,
and considers it unbecoming to use similar language.
It would bo well for England and France if an end were
put to these unseemly contentions; they only tend to
weaken Greece and encourage a third power, who occa-
sionally assumes the functions of a protector, that she
may in due season come in for a share of the plunder.

Like many other notions upon the prinoiples which
should regulate states, the opinion that penalties are
necessary for the suppression of crime, and for the pre-
servation of social order, is gradually fading from the
popular mind, and at the present moment is all but ex-
ploded. The grand law of nature, that a truth must
ultimately develope itself before the gaze of the million,
and become proportionately recognised, is in this,
as in ♦arious other instances, meeting with its
realization. Flaying, disembowelling, scourging, broiling,
decapitating, and divers other equally ferocious punish-
ments, were employed in former times for the suppres-
sion of vice : the remedy proved ineffectual after long
practice—it was slowly abandoned. More recently, nay
up to our own generation, expiatory means have been
used by the Legislature with the same hopes, the same
intentions, and the same ill-success : hard
labour, the penitentiary system, solitary con-
finement, fines, transportation to penal settlements,
and strangling by the hangman. These measures—
comparatively more lenient, but actually severe— have
been adopted ; criminals have floc►red, session after ses-
sion, to the treadmill, the colonies, and the gibbet ; and,
notwithstanding all these efforts to purge crime from the
principality, the calendar has been stocked with a fear-
ful catalogue of offences, the list of felons has increased
with our multiplying population. Having had these
facts impressed upon us by the experience of past
ages, and beholding in them the insufficiency
of any expiatory method alone to eradicate the evil, it
becomes apparent that we have hitherto proceeded upon
false premises, that our regenerative efforts have been
aimed in a wrong direction, that we have battled solely
against the results of social disorder, and entirely, or
almost entirely, neglected the application of any correc-
tives to the region in which that social
disorder was propagated. These opinions, main-
tained at first individually, are extending
themselves throughout society ; new lights are stream-
ing upon the mind of the people ; normal schools are the
first indications of a vast moral revolution ; the sole re-
liance upon penalties, as a means for the expulsion of
vice, is becoming equally obsolete with the reverence for
a protective system as a means of beneficing agriculture.
That offences against the laws both moral and social
originate generally in the mental incompetency re•
suiting from ignorance, is a fact authenticated
by the official returns of the kingdom. That thousands
would be reclaimed from a state little, if at all, elevated
above the brute creation, by a wholesome instruction in
the plastic period of childhood, is beyond a moment's
cavil. This cumulation of evidence consequently re-
solves itself into the belief that the education of the desti-
tute multitude would be far preferable to the present
criminal policy, in a charitable point of view, while
it would the mote effectually prevent that dissemina-
tion of villany which now throngs our gaols, an I hulks,
and a fair portion of our colonial possessions. Many
have advocated this principle, more have awarded it an
expressed or tacit approbation. Mr. HILL, of Birming-
ham, and Mr. C. PE ARSON, of the city of London, have
endeavoured to expedite the adoption of such measures,
and Government, by the words of its Home Se-
cretary, as well as by its proceedings in our gaol
administration and with reference to Ireland, appears
to intimate anything but a hostile feeling towards the
doctrine. Our attention has been just directed to a ser-
mon delivered before Mr. Baron PARKE and Mr. Justice
MAIILE, during the Lent assizes, 1846, at Bury St.
Edmund's. As the expressions of a clergyman of the
Church of England upon a question so liable to en-
counter opposition among the ministers of different
religious tenets, as being likely, in their opinion, to
interfere with the promulgation of their several creeds,
the language contained in this discourse is deserving of
some especial notice. In the ideas as to the preferable
character of education over punishment, the reverend
gentleman fully acquiesces ; but he expressly stipulates
that it be " on education large, comprehensive, generous,
and unexclusive This is a declaration most creditable
to the liberality of the clerical speaker, and the more
creditable to him, possibly from his discarding all anxiety
for " the proselytizing activity of rival religionists." He
arrogates not to himself any right to propound a scheme
suitable in all particulars to the great exigency of the
nation. He contents himself with exposing our own
direct participation in the crimes committed every
year by allowing thousands to grow up in the most
blind unconsciousness of \right or wrong, of re-
ward or retribution from GOD or from man.
He stigmatises all previous efforts in the cause of the
ignorant multitude as mere " palliatives and make-
shifts," and endeavours by all the powers of rhetoric
and argument to enforce upon us the necessity which
exists for some comprehensive interference on the part
of our legislators. No plan, however, must be adopted

without the most mature deliberation. The
following things must be kept in view during
its concoction, according to this philanthropic
clergyman :—" We must show to the economist
that it will be cheap, to the utilitarian that it
will be of incalculable benefit, to the politician
that it would strengthen the bonds of society, to the
moralist and the philosopher that it will purify the
mind, and to the Christian that it will chasten
the soul." That these qualities are necessary
we feel assured—that they can be harmonised and
combined we are sanguine. In alluding in this particular
manner to the sermon from which we have just quoted, we
are actuated by two wishes ; first, to acknowledge a ge-
nerous effirt in a generous cause, and coming from an'
authoritative quarter ; secondly, to hold out an ex-
ample to other ecclesiastics who are desirous of benefit-
ing their fellow-men.

Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have been received. The
Gazette of that date publishes two royal decrees—one abo-
lishing the tax on house-rent, and the other modifying the
tax on trade and professions. These interfere materially
with Senor MoN's new system of finance, and will cause
considerable loss to the revenue, but, according to the official
organ, they were levied in such an objectionable and unfair
way that open resistance tothem could scarcely be prevented.
There is still, however, to be a fixed duty on trades, but to
be levied in a less objectionable way. It was confidently
stated that NAaVAEZ had invited both Nov and PEDAL to
enter the Cabinet, but that for the present they had refused.
It is not unlikely, however, that MoN will be found neces-
sary for the very existence of the Ministry. No Spanish
Minister for many years has shown such skill and honesty
in financial reforms. It was said that, after some difficulty,
Generals CONCHA, COTONEII, CORDOVA, and Alt,toz had ob-
tained permission to travel into foreign countries.
The Three per Cents. closed on the Madrid Stock Ex-
change on the 28th ult. at 321/4 cash, and 3214 for the 30th
April; the Five per Cents. at 22 for the 30th April.

In the French Chamber of Deputies, in a discussion relative
to the Greek loan, M. DE llAtut.t.NNy: took occasion to
blame the policy of the French Government, as well as that
of England, towards that country. The three Powers were
divided. " In 1840," be said, " the Pacha of Egypt was at-
tacked by England and Russia, because he was suspected of
being too favourable to France. In 1846 M. Cor-Errt found
B ussia and England opposed to him, because the same fault was
imputed to him. He did not suppose that the Minster of
Foreign Affairs could be stall suspected of uniting with either
England or Russia to combat the friends of France; but
every one must remark that, wherever the interest of France
prevailed the entente cm-clink disappeared— it was only
practised where the English bad the advantage."
M. Guizox said be " would not urdertake to justify
the conduct of the English Government relative to
Greece ; it was evident that France considered it objection-
able, since she supported the very contrary line to what
England had adopted. Since M. CoLErn had arrived at
power, England did not follow the same course as France had
done, and in that he considered her to be rong. He had
several times represented to the English Government how
injurious such conduct was to the Government of Greece; he
had not been able to convince her of the fact, and he had
continued to pursue the policy of France in Greece. Before
the revolution of 1843 France, England, and Russia had been
of the same opinion as to the consequences that ought to
emanate from that event, and their counsels had much con-
tributed to give Greece a constitutional and regular Govern-
ment ; England and Russia afterwards began to follow sepa-
rately their own line of conduct. But what was the result? was
it the policy cf Englar.d which prevailed in France? No, it
was the friends of France who were at the head of affairs;
so that the reproaches of the Hon. Deputy who had just
spoken seemed altogether misplaced. He should content
himself with declaring that the French Government would
persist in its friendly conduct towards Greece, and that the
Minister cf France in that country should persevere in the
conduct which ho had adopted, in the counsels which he had
given, in the support which he had lent, and that he shouh
be approved of and upheld in such conduct by the Frencl
Government." This, together with the strong =ark

made by Lord ABERDEEN and Sir R. PEEL in Parliament,
shows at least that the entente cordiale does not prevail in
the entire policy of the two Governments. The Journal des
_Debuts announces that the Commission on the navy esti-
mates had male their report, according to which it is recom-
mended to reduce the effective strength of the navy, as pro-
posed by the Government. The Government plan was to
fix the effective strength at 40 ships of the line, 20 afloat
and 20 on the stocks ; 66 frigates, 40 afloat and
26 on the stocks; 160 schooners and brigs all afloat, making
with transports a total of 286 vessels. The Commission pro-
poses that the fleet should consist of 36 ships of the line, of
which 20 are to he afloat and 16 upon the stocks ; :55
frigate 7, 40 afloat and 15 upon the stocks; 130 schooners and
brigs, all afloat ; and 16 transport ships; total 231 vessels.
Besides 100 steamers, it recommends a steam force of 3,800-
horse power, to be applied upon four ships of the lino, four
frigates, and four schooners ; a steam force of 800-horse
power for two Chafing batteries, destined to defend the en-
trance of the rivers ; and reduces the supplementary credit of
93,000,000 f. demanded by the Government to 73,000,000 f.

. .
The Gazette de France announces, from certain information,
that " the general election will take place before the 15th of
July. The Chamber of Deputies will have finished its opera-
tions by the 28th May, and the Peers by the 10th June.
The session will be closed on the following day, and the
Chambers dissolved immediately after. Acsording to all
appearances, the elections will commence on Saturday, the
11th July."
The following are miscellaneous extracts from the other
papers :

- ;‘ It is stated as certain," says the Constitutionnel," that in
consequence of a convention between the Holy See and the
Austrian Government, troops belonging to the latter are to
be directed towards the legatiqns." _

According to a letter from Rome in the Observer of the
Rhine, the Grand Duke Constantine has received instructions
from St. Petersburgh to proceed direct to Palermo, instead of
embarking, as he had intended, at Genoa and Toulon The
writer adds, that in all probability the Grand Duke will not
visit Toulon at all, as the Emperor of Russia is said to have
taken new offence, under the supposition that the accusation
against Russia by the Abbess of Minsk was sent to Paris by
M. Rossi, the representative of France at the Court of
Rome.

Amongst the persons arrested in Poland, in connexion
with the late outbreak, is M. Wiznieski, who is stated, in a
letter from Vienna to have been an active agent of the
Polish Committee in Paris.
A letter from Cracow of the 23d sates that the number
of persons now imprisoned there on charges connected with
the late revolt is 570, and that a reward of 1,000 florins has
been offered for the apprehension of Dembroski, who was
secretary to the Dictator, but who, according to some ac-
conntr, was killed at Podgorze.

The Queen held a Privy Council at half-past two
o'clock this afternoon, at Buckingham Palace, which was
attended by most of the Cabinet Ministers.
The Court will, it is expected, leave town on Wed-
nesday or Thurslay next for 'Windsor Castle, to spend
the Easter holidays.

310NEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were about
3,000 bags, including 500 American for export. The market
was quiet, at previous rates.
The Share market continued very dull, and in consequence of
the scarcity of money, most descriptions of shares were lower.
hi the opinion of the mercantile classes of the City, the
" Protectionists" in the House of Commons have taken the
best means in their power to retard the passing of the plans
of Sir Robert Peel. But scarcely one of our merchants were
prepared to see such a falling off in the receipts of the Cus-
toms and Excise, as is apparent in the official returns
made public in The Sun of this afternoon. The diminution
in the receipts of the two all-important branches of the reve-
nue is solely and entirely to be attributed to the anxiety of
the trading interests to see the measures of Government
passed into law before new operations, on their part, are en-.
tered into—till, in fact, they are enabled "to see their way
clear," as the almost every-day phrase is when wholesale
and retail dealers throughout the country are solicited
for orders. It is, therefore, held to be of the
most pressing importance that the final decision of the Le-
gislature upon the corn and other measures of the Ministry
sould be announced at the earliest possible period. In the
event of the Corn Bill being rejected by the House of Lords,
and an appeal to the country being made by Sir Robert Peel,
the delay that will inevitably occur must prove as prejudicial
to the revenue returns in the present as it has been in the
last three months.
Accounts of February 7th, from the Cape of Good Hope,
state that there had been some extra detachments of troops
sent to the frontier. in consequence of an apparent disposition
on the part of the Kafirs to prevent our building a fort on the
neutral territory. All, however, seems to have passed off
well. There is nothing interesting from Natal.
There has been an increased amount of business done in
Public Securities this morning, as the several stocks, the
transfer-books of which have been for some time closed, are
now open for "private withdrawals," by paying the cus-
tomary fee. In a few days the banks will open in the regular
course of business. The Three per Cents. Reduced opened at-95%
, with the dividend taken off. Relatively this is a higher value
by one-half per cent. than the stock bore before the closing
of the books at the Bank. The Three per Cent. Consols too
are now quoted at 961/4 14. The value of Long Annuities
have been purchased at 10A 3 -16 with the dividends also
deducted. Consols for Account are very steady at 964.
The premium upon Exchequer-bills has just been quoted at 255.
Business has been rather brisk in the Foreign Stock
Market to-day, but the variations have been slight. The
Brazilian Five per Cents. have been taken at 804, ex-divi-
dend ; Austrian at 113 ; Chain at 96 ; American at 32 ; the
Portuguese Converted at 57%; Spanish at 25% ; and the
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 591,4 for the Account.
The Share Market is in a dull state this morning at the
quotations annexed.

MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
Last week's arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, and Oats were
tolerably gold, and of full average quality, while thole of Malt were
somewhat extensive. Of other kinds of grain, as well as Flour, of
home produce, the supplies were rather limited. From Scotia: d very
littSe grain of any description came to han4. The same remark may
be applied to the Irish supplies, as well as those received from
abroad, if we except those of Beans, being large. Fresh up, coast-
wise as well as by land-carriage and samples, the supply of Wheat
of home produce, was but moderate, yet the stands were moderately
well filled with parcels of both red and white. The attendance of
both town and country buyers being on the increase the finest qua-
lities sold stead by at prices fully equal to, but at nothing beyond,
those obtained on this day se'nnight. The middling and
inferior parcels were, however, a dull sale, at barely
last week's quotations. At the close of the market a total clearance
was not effected. The importers ef foreign Wheat having isdeased a
very small quantity of grain at the prevailing duties for some time
past, the show of that article to-day, free of duty, was extremely
small, yet the demand for it was inactive, and previous figures were
with difficulty supported, notwithstanding the comparative firmness
on the part of the holders. A somewhat increased number of bonded
parcels of Wheat on show. Although the holders were anxious sel-
lers, and would have submitted to a trifling reduction in prices,
very few speculators appeared ; consequently, the transactions
were on a very limited scale, at about nominal figures.
The supply of Barley, both English and Foreign, was by no means
large. The best malting parcels supported late rates, but grinding
and distilling sor:s were very dull, and prices were with difficulty
supported. Having a large quatithy of Bait on offer, that article
was a very slow luquiry. The best white parcels moved off in re-
tail at previous figures ; but other kinds were a mere drug. The arrivals
of Oats from all parts having been small, the Oat trade was tolerably
steady, and last week's prices were fairly supported. We understand
the shipments of Oats front the principal Irish ports have been on a
limited scale for some time past. The supply of Beans was sonic-
what on the increase. All descriptions moved off slowly. at barely
late currencies. White Peas supported previous quotations, but all
other kinds hung heavily on hand. Although the supply of Flour
was by no means large, the demand was in a very inactive state, at
previous quotations.

SMITHFIELD.
During the psst week the imports of live stock Into London have
been but moderate, viz., 100 Cows, 40 Oxen, 4 Calves, and 200 Sheep
from Rotterdam and Harlingen ; while at Hull about 120 head have
come to hand from the above ports. Its to-day's market we had on
offer about 100 Beasts and GO Sheep, derived from Holland. The
quality of this stock was tolerably good, yet the demand for it was in
a very sluggish state, at, in most instances, drooping prices. Not-
withstanding the arrivals of Beasts from our own grazing districts
fresh up this morning were by no means large, the time of year
considered—though of most excellent quality—the beef trade was very
dull. However, the very primest Scots were mostly disposed of at
last week's prices, viz., from 4s to 4s 2d per albs ; but all other kinds
declined 2d per 811%, and a total clearance was not effected. From
Norfolk, Suffolk. Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,000
Scots, home-breds, and short-horns ; from the western and midland
counties, 701 Herefords, rents, Devons, tee. ; from other parts of
England, 400 of various kinds ; from Scotland, 130 horned and polled
Scots; and from Ireland, 98 Beasts, the remainder of the supply being
derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
The numbers of Sheep being again on the increase, and of unusally
prime quality, the butchers purchased very eautiously, hence the
Mutton trade was dull, and the quotations suffered a decline of front
2d te 4d perBlbs.—the extreme figure in the wool not exceeding ss.
per Sibs. There were about 8,000 shorts Sheep in the market, which
were mostly disposed of at prices within lid per 81bs of our general
currencies. The Veal trade was in a very inactive state, at barely
stationary prices. Lambs were in moderate supply, and heavy ilk-
quiry, at 5s 6d to 75 per 81bs. In Pigs exceedingly little was doing, at
barely last week's quotations.

The arrivals of country-killed meat up to these markets during
the past week have been somewhat extensive, the time of year
considered, and of fair average quality. With meat slaughtered in
the metropolis we have been tolerably well supplied, hence the
general demand has been in a very sluggish state, at, In some in-
stances, drooping currencies. Very few carcases of foreign beasts
or sheep have appeared on sale.
