THE GKEEK PROTECTORATE.

The Times considers there is nothing in the constitu-
tional system of Greece which makes it impossible for
England and the other Protecting Powers to exercise a
real supervision, until brigandage be really blotted
out. It is difficult to see what argument any poli-
tician, Greek or other, can advance against our moral
right to do this. On any other understanding the Pro-
tectorate is a scandal, and ought to be relinquished.
Protection does not merely mean that the existence of the
State is guaranteed against an attack of Turkey ; its obli-
gations, and consequently its rights, extend as well to
serious internal dangers with which the Sovereign's Go-
vernment appears unfit to deal. If there were a native
pretender to the throne, or if a province were in a state of
chronic insurrection, no one would deny the right of the
Protecting Powers to interfere as well as advise, though
the form of their interference might be a fit subject of
negotiation with the King's Government, Now, there is
a general consent that brigandage has reached such
4 point in Greece of late years, and has so generally
infected the body politic, that not even the best
disposed Ministry is able to deal with it. The Greeks
would bless the day when the Great Powers insisted on
the installation of Ministers who would dare to make war
on the most deadly enemies•of the State, and when they
gave the King's Government such active and continuous
support as would enable it to carry out its new nolicv.

THE " DERBY " TELEGRAPHED TO INDIA.—The

2 minutes.

During the return home of the Prince of Wales
from the Derby on Wednesday au incident occurred at Toot-
ing which create d some amusement. At the turn of the
road towards Clapham a number of ladies had assembled to
greet the Royal party ; the Prince, in taking off his hat to
acknowledge• their salutations, dropped one of his gloves,
and a rush of the bystanders was made to possess them-
selves of it, his Royal Highness laughing heartily at the
scrambla of the ladies as the carriage proceeded on the
journey.
