sia, they would not have guaranteed a farthing,
but on the condition that the Greeks should be
left free to choose their own Sovereign, and
their own form of government. Both have
been dictated to them, nominally by the three
Powers, but really by Russia. The Greek
nation has had no more voice in calling the
Bavarian Prince to the throne than it used to
have in appointing the Governors sent to it by
Turkey. The Regency of the school-boy
Kingi faithful to the despotic influence by
which it has been created, proceeds to build up
tite fabric of its power,. and organize the new
institutions of the State, without condescendine,
iq any particular. to ask the advice or consent of
the naiion... A few degenerate nobles and sena-
tors, who.have, like Esau, sold their birthright
for a mess of pottage, are permitttd to wear
their gilded chains in the sunshine of the Court.
But it is easy Co foresee that the Council of Re-
gency, by its arbitrary proceedings, is Sowing
the seed of a harvest of trouble and calamity in
Greece.—Morning Herald.

It is stated in a Sunday paper, but we know
not on what authority, that Lord Melbourne and
the Commissioners of Police are busily engaged
in sifting the evidence on the late inquest
against the police, much of which they hope
to disprove ; and to such a proceeding on their
part there can be no solid objection in the mind
of any rational person. On our part, although
we have taken -a different view of the subject
from that which has apparently been adopted by
those authorities, there has been from the com-
mencement of the fatal proceeding, up to the
present moment, a constant, and earnest, and
most anxious desire to get at the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth ; and if the
result of the conjoined labours of the Home
Sect etary and the Commissioners of Police shall
be to throw more light upon the subject, we
shall receive it with satisfaction. Bat our
Sunday contemporary is surely in error when
he states that the object of this sifting of the
evidence is to disprove much of what was
adduced on the late inquest against the
police; for, independent of the most complete
and satisfactory proof of the violence and bru-
tality displaced by the police, we know not how
the Home Secretary could well add a greater
blunder to the many for which he has to account,
as connected with the meeting, than that of out-
raging at once common sense and public feeling,
by even attempting to exonerate the police from
charges of enormities, the perpetration of whi..h
bas been proved beyond the possibility of cavil.
The non-prevention of a trieetina, which he had
previously declared to be illegal, was, if not a
great clime, at least a great fault on the part of
the Home Secretary— the mode of its dispersion
m. st disgraceful—the subsequent proclamation,
offering a reward, and declaring, in defiance of
the verdict of the Jury, and without the finding
of any court of law, that to be " murder" which
had, after much patient investigation, been
deemed "justifiable homicide,"—an insult for
whi,h neither ground or reason, or precedent, is
to be found; and now if it should turn out that
the Home Secretary is about to add (to call
them by a mild name) to all these blunders the
still grosser one of endeavouring to white-wash
the police soldiery what inference can be
drawn from it, but the very painful ooe, that the
Government, instead of taking part with the
people, and endeavouring to bring to punish-
ment those among the police who so brutally
maltreated the people, is taking part with it, and
approves of its enormities ? Let it make the at-
tempt, however, if it be so inclined, and above
all, let it, among (Ater matters worthy of invesii
gation, inquire strictly into the character and
general credibility of the witness, Mary Anne
Hamilton, on which the Coroner placed such
unbounded reliance, but which the jury, though
her evidence was delivered on oath, would not
believe. We court help the Home Secretary to
an important fact on thi. subject, which is
much at his service, when, in the course
of his " silting," he comes to the investigation
of her evidence. By the by, while on this sub-
ject, we ought to ob-erve, in justice to an even-
ing contempo aiy, whose s)mpathies are wholly
with the police, that he has discovered two
mares' nests of the very first mroitude and im-
portance. The first is, and we are glad of it,
for the sake of the Government, if it can derive
any benefit from it, that Lord Melbourne was
not present with Colonel Rowan near the
place where the meeting assembled, and
the secon,l, that three of the jury who
sat on the late inquest are members of
the Political Union ! Our contemporary does
not attempt to draw any inference from
this alleged fact ; but it is very evident that
it has been adduced for the purpose of insinuat-
ing that in consequence of their being members
of the Union they must necessarily be partial in
their view of the evidence. It might as well
have been alleged, however, by the "Tories in
the palmy state of their power, that those who
called for a reform in the representation of the
people, were not fit, in consequence of Oleir
s) mpathies, to try a similar question ; a conclu-
sion which infers that political feeling, on any
given subject must henceforth be held to be a
moral disqualification. It ought also to he re-
collecell, as a proof of the impartiality of tne
Jays that although they returned a verdict at
v xiance with the wishes of the Government,
they also recorded their disapprobation of the
meeting and its ohjects.—Morning Advertiser.
