Thh report of tbo Inspectors of the Eastern ' Penitentiary abounds with evidence that one of .the eurcHt safeguards against a criminal career Ms early Instruction in a useful trado. This les ion is repeated in so many forms that it should mako a deep Impression upon the community, ;ind attract tho attention of parents who wish to insure tho Integrity of their offspring as well n r. of those who desire to promote the general nlfnro. More than five-sixths of tho prisoners who ..e been confined since tho penitentiary was .r-t opened were convicted of crimes against .pcrty, the total number of criminals of this . -s being KJ37 against 1001 convicted of crimes ..inst persons. Larceny, burglary, horsc i.iallng, counterfeiting, and forgery havo been i sorted to as a means of livelihood by persons ho had no inbred horror of crime, and little or no accurate knowledge of lucrative useful avoea limis. The total number of convicts for larceny reached 2tlS, for burglary 550, for horse-stealing -407, for passing counterfeit money 22, for forgery 195, for robbery 1MH, for burglary aud larceny 120, for pacing and having counterfeit money 42, and ' for counterfeiting 82; and the moving cause of iieai ly all these crimes was the belief Unit they would furnish the sosicst method of providing lor daily necessities. It was at ono time supposed that the general '. diffusion of education would greatly diminish -rime, but education is by no means a sure spe cific, and its Influence has been overrated. Of tS22B convicts, 8932, or nearly two-thirds, could rend and write (and their number includes 32 "well instructed"), 1045 could read, and only 1251 were illiterate. The rapid increase in the number of common schools has not been accom panied by a corresponding diminution in crime, and all hopes based on the idea that the instruc tion they impart will destroy the vicious propen sities of the rising generation are delusive. Neither can we lay the flattering unction to our souls that the criminals are not generally of native birth. Other lands have contributed, it 'Is iruo, to an undue proportion of the popula tion of the penitentiary, the figures being 4t95 Americana to 1533 foreigners, and of the 4095 ' Americans, 1656 were not born within the limits ' of the State, but 3039, or nearly one-half of the whole number, were to the manor born. It is commonly said that intemperance fills our prisons, and its demoralizing influence cannot : oe denied. Still it is by no means the sole cause of crime, and the penitentiary statistics state . that of 6228 convicts 1471 were abstainers, 2573 moderate drinkers, 1090 sometimes intoxicated, ' and 1094 often intoxicated a record which does not differ very widely from that which would result from a minute inquiry into the habits of an equal adult population in some localities where odious crimes are rarely perpetrated. The moral instructor of the prison states that of the inmates during last year, eighty per ceut. claim that their parents were church members, and thirty-nine per cent, acknowledge that they were reared up uuder good home influences, but only a small proportion (sixteen per ceut.) had been regular attendants of Sunday Schools, and sixty-seven percent, had never attended these in stitutions, lie coutends that "common school and home traiuing must go hand in hand," and that it should not only be "combined with Sab bath School instruction," but also with "the dis cipline of regular employment" and "skilled occupation." While the prison abounds with "abstainers" as well as the victims of intemperance; while it confines "well-educated" rogues as well as Illite rate rascals, Americans as well as foreigners, the children of religious parents and Sunday School pupils as well as the offspring of crimi nals, tho moral instructor says: "It is a rare exception to find a good mechanic in prison." The Warden, in bis report, gives a further illus tration of this statement by his announcement that when the work on the extension to the prison was commenced he was anxious to avail himself of the labor of the convicts, but that "out of six hundred who were then in the insti tution, but one was found who could perform the part of a stone-mason, and not one who had a sufficient knowledge of bricklaying or car pentering to enable them to hold tho position of a moderately fair journeyman at either of these branches of business. But two men could dress stone passably, both of whom had learned in other prisons." The industrial relations of the convicts com mitted during 1868 are reported to be as follows unapprentlced, 205; apprenticed and left, 81; apprenticed and served until 21 years of age, 17: total, 253. Thus, only one convict out of fifteen had served a regular apprenticeship, and the bulk of those committed were but poorly quali fied to earn an honest livelihood. While the Im portance of moral and secular Instruction, tem perate habits, aud good associations cannot be overestimated, It is manifest that crimes against property will not cease while so large a propor- , tion of tho population are suffered to grow up in ignorance of useful industrial pursuits, and . while tho community contains so many unpro ductive members. A LIOIIT IN THE EAST. Tub address of the Sultan to the ministers from forelim powers in Constantinople, whon they waited upon him on tke Mohammedan New Year's day, May 5, Is one of the most encourag ing evidences of a new order of things in the East that has appeared for a long time. The Sultan said that he would insist upon economy in the administration of the government, the Improvement of judicial procedure, the exten sion of tho railway system, anu me ciiuui panic patlon of all classes in the obligations and bene fits of the reforms which he has undertaken to brim? about. He referred to tho favorable set- tloment of the difficulties with Greece, to the pacification of Crete, and the friendly relations of Turkey Willi Ull lorcigu iiuni-is, mm " furnest of his intention to pursue a wise, mono- . m and liberal policy, the Cretan chieftains have been pardoned and set free. Th efforts of the Sultan to give his country men the advantages of all the appliances of modern civilization, bo far as they are suited to v the habits and character of tho people, ure Cl 'ar'y due to the visit which be made a year or two ago to Wcotorn Europe, and to the Impul sions made upon him by what he saw with his own eyes of the practical workings of modem European civilization. It was a long step In ad vanco for the Sultan to make such a Journey; And it is gratifying to sec that he has the will to Institute tlioso reforms which are absolutely necessary If Turkey is to retain for any length of time her standing as an independent nation. It Is well that these reforms should bo com menced by the Turks themselves; and if the Sultan's ideas are carried out by his subordinates In the same spirit as they are proposed by him, we will have a right to expect the downfall of Oriental barbarism and tho commencement of a new era of civilization and enlightcnmont In the fur East. Pahis rivals New York as an undesirable place to live In. The exorbitant prices of apartments have rendered certain nclKhborhoodg uninhabitable by any except millionaires, or "the friends of the Km pcror." The following official llxtof the rents of cer tain houses has been recently pniUnhed, ami will, In a measure, show that thn leaseholder do not, after nil, realize such enormous prollts: A houso on the Jlmileviird IliiuHHiiian, 40,000 francs per annum ; an other house, on the same boulevard, 76000 francs; a house in tho Kuo do la Chaussee d'Antln, 74,01)0 francs; another In the same street, 9?,000 francs ; a house in the Hue do Kivoll, ho,ooo francs; and one In the Place do lu Madeleine, 90,000 francs.
