A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, CONTAINING The Latest Foreign Telegrams ; the Latest ffity Railway, Mining, and other Shares ; Sporting, and General Intelligence, EVERY EVENING. LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 6 PROTESTANTISM AND DISESTABLISH- MINT. A VERY real and deep-seated dislike and fear of what are supposed. rightly or wrongly, to be the principles of the Roman Catholic Church ie un doubtedly a characteristic of large numbers of Englishmen. If we do not take this sentiment into account, if we do not make full allowance for the extent to which it influences those who hold it, a e shall be in danger of making a great error in o u r political calculations. Whether we agree with the in or not, we must not shut our eyes to the fact that an important and widely dis tribut.•l ion of our fellow-countrymen are anxiously asking how the interest. of Kahan Catholicism will be affected by the disis,tablishment of the Irish Church. They are Liberals. they say, and they have always voted for the Liberal party ; but now they are told that in doing so at the approaching election they will be really voting in support of Popery. And they COllfekh that this thought troubles them, and makes them doubt what is the right course to take under the circumstances. '%I! propose to look at the question from their point of view, to as sutu.• an an axiom that any measure that help, forward the cause of Roman Catholicism is, so far as it does this, a luisaitivous measure. Judg.sl by this standard, what shall we say about the disestublishment of the Irish Church *f First of all, then, we say that it is never lawful to do evil that good may come. If it could be prowsl that the Irish Church is really, what its friends arc so fond of calling it. a great bulwark against Popery, we should not be justified in maintaining an institution which violates the first principles of political justice. A nation has no right to govern another nation in utter disregard of its opinions and wishes. Ireland is a Roman Catholic country, and if a Protestant Government undertakes to rule a Roman Catholic country it is bound to do so fur the good of the people who in habit it. Now no sophistry can make it appear that this simple rule of doing to Irishmen as we would that Irishmen should do to us is obeyed by keeping up a Protestant State Church in Ireland. If anyone doubts this let him imagine the relative size and position of Eng land and Ireland reversed, and Ireland with a population of 20,000,000 Roman Catholics ruling England with a population of 3,000,000 Yrutcmtat,l M. should we think it just if the Irish vw ple were to say to us :- -The majority among us is Roman Catholic, and for that reason we intend to establish the Roman Catholic Church in Eng land, though only very few Englishmen belong to it, and we intend further to make England pay the expenses In some respects this imaginary ease is au uuderstatement of the truth. We have done worm. things to Ireland than we have hero sup posed Ireland doing to England. But let us take the parallel as complete— is it not one which must open the eyes of everyone who looks at it We are doing to Ireland that which, if it were done to us, would drive us into instant rebellion. An act does not change its character because it is done by Englishmen. The commands of justice lire unalterable, and they apply to all alike. Moral duties take precedence of religious duties. It can never be right to do wrong, even though it may seem for the moineut that the cause of Pro testantism is strengthened by our doing it. In the neat place, we ought to remember that the worst compliment a man can pay to his religion is to assume that it is sure to got the worst of it in a fair fight. Of all tho ways of showing disbelief in the religion you profess this is the most signifi cant. A creed to be worth anything must be hardy. If, in order to keep it. alive at all. it must le• shut up in a hot-house, sheltered from every rough bleat, and watered with the kindly dews of State patronage, it is a mere exotic. Is this what English Protestants think of Protestantism ? If not, is it wise to act as though they did think this of it? It has often, and quite justly, been made a reproach to Roman Catholics thnt, with sonic signal exceptions, they wish the Porn to govern Rome, no matter how badly he governs it, or bow unwilling the Romans may be to be governed by him, because they think the interests of the Church might suffer by the overthrow of his temporal prerogatives. But in what does their conduct differ from that of Protestants who insist on maintaining the Estab lished Church in Ireland, no matter how much the Irish people may dislike it, or how much ill feeling it may create in the country, because they are afraid that in some unexplained way its abo lition may be injurious to Protestantism ? This is no question of endowing Roman Catholicism in Ireland. Even the Conservatives seem to have given up that notion—at all events for the pre sent. It is simply a question of removing the ar tificial aids by which the State has tried to bolster up Protestantism in Ireland. In future if the Irish Church is disestablished, English Protestants may say to Truth Roman Catholics, We would you were altogether such se we are, but we will use no unrighteous means to make you so. All we care for is that Protestantism shall have in Ireland what Roman Catholicism has iu England—s fair field and no favour. In pro portion as we have faith in our religion we have faith in its power to hold its own against all Corners. Hitherto we have argued, first, that even if the abolition of the Irish Church were to give some advantage to Roman Catholicism, it would be in cumbent upon us to do justice at all hazards; and secondly, that we must have but a poor opinion of Protestantism if wo think that, in order to maintain it, we must have recourse to foul means. We may go further than this, however, and say that there is at least one point in which the diseetablishment of the Irish Church must be a real disservice to Roman Catholicism in Ireland. If you want to put the most dangerous weapon possible into an enemy's hand, you cannot do better than inflict upon him an injury, not severe enough to cripple him, but yet severe enough to enlist on his behalf the sym pathy which the spectacle of injustice always creates. The old way of governing Ireland was extremely wicked, but it was at least intelligible. We wanted to put down Roman Catholicism, and so we treated our Roman Catholic countrymen rather worse than the Southern planters used to treat their slaves. We would not let them teach their children, and if a Roman Catholic owned a good horse we made him sell it to the first Protestant for .1. Since the penal laws were abolished no Roman Catholic has been subjected to any civil disability. But instead of reversing our policy frankly we have reversed it grudgingly. The Roman Catholic Church is deprived of no real power; on the contrary, we insist upon giving her an additional power, which but for us she could never have obtained. Wo place her in a position which enables her members to say, if they are 60 minded—England is too timid or too mean to deal fairly by us. She tried to destroy us, and the attempt was a signal failure. But though she no longer hurts us in person, she likes to hurt us a little in pocket. It is a small trifle to pick your enemy's pocket after you have tried in vain to take his life, but it is the sort of triumph which suits English Protestants. This is what wo enable Irishmen to say by our persistent policy in the matter of the Irish Church. Is this true states manship ? Is it the way in which in the long run the interests of any religion can be promoted ? Whether, when the Irish Church is taken out of the way, Roman Catholicism will lose ground in Ireland is more than we can say. But we are quite certain that no Protestantism which is worth calling a religion can possibly be injured by such a step. On the contrary, the very first and most indispensable condition of its claims being put fairly before the Irish people is that it should no longer be asso ciated in their minds with the persistent infliction of a great political wrong. CO-OPERATIVE STORES AND TRADING FIRMS. ht all the co-operative stores established up to a very recent period, so far as we are acquainted with their history, great care seems to have been taken to avoid the temptations of ordinary trading, and to make and keep the association, what it professed to be, a combination of consumers bent solely ou obtain ing the best and purest articles at the lowest price. For this purpose it was stipulated in the articles or rules of association that the interest payable on the capital invested in starting and working the concern should never exceed a certain amount, the maximum being generally fixed, we be lieve, at 5 per cent. ; while in furtherance of the general object, and with the view, perhaps, of preventing the thing from becoming too pro miscuous, there was the reasonable provision that non-shareholders participating in the benefits should pay a mull sum annually towards defray ing the expenses. It was on these fundamental principles that the great Civil Service Stores in the Ilaymarket and in Monkwell-street won founded; and it is through acting upon them that they have obtained such extraordinary seamen. With such a basis managers could clearly have but one object, that of securing for customers good articles at the minimum prices required to meet the working expenses and yield a moderate return for the capital advanced. Now a store has just been opened in the north-west district of the metropolis in which the requisite guarantees seem to be wanting. Commencing as a co-operative establishment, it is in reality a gigantic shop, absorbing a large proportion of the custom which has hitherto flowed to tradesmen in the district, without affording to the customers any real and substantial security for being better aersed. There is no limit, so far as appears on the face of the printed documents, except that imposed by their own consciences, to the interest, or rather ? riot, which the shareholders may receive; any one who presents himself at the counter may ob tain what he demands without inquiry ; goods are sent home without any charge to the Le3er ; orders are called for if desired. The directors, nu doubt. arc highly respectable men ; but so abso are many retail dealers whose business they are attracting by the assumption that they cannot possibly have any per sona interest different from that of the ordinary customer. The only justification for inter ference by co-operative associations with or dinary trading enterprise is that some clear positive benefit is derived by the members. There is hardly any good without attend ant evil ; an 4 it is certainly to be regretted that co-operative stores, by interfering with re tail trading operations, have injured many an honest and deserving shopkeeper. In the case in question there is neither membership nor adequate security for benefit to customers. While inhabitants of the district are transferring their custom, perhaps with regretful feelings, to the new establishment, no substantial benefit is assured to them by its principle* and modes eprrandi. The co-operative movement has been mot by some tradesmen through advertisements with some such headings as " Co-operative Stores " no longer nocessam" and with promises through the same medium to supply on as moderate terms as the " Stores." Well might such persons ask, " Why desert us to patronise an establishment " which in principle and all essential points does " not differ from ours?" THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING[,_ ,OCTOBER 6, 1868, GEORGE SAND'S NEW PLAT. MADAME GIORGI &n' ie a great artist, but her dramas are not the most remarkable of her works. Lately she has dabbled more than usual in philosophical speculation, but she has happily found time to write as a pleasant interlude a play called Cadio. Everybody read the dialogue-roninnee of that name in the Berrie des Peer Monde*, and many must have felt curious as to its fitness for the stage. With the assistance of M. PAUL Mumma, Cadio Las just been produced at the Porte St. Martin, interpreted by a Pleiad of actors and actresses, in cluding even the celebrated tenor, M. Roosts, and also the charming actress who was sup posed to have been lost to the world and gained to the cloister—Mdlle. The story of Ordio glides close to dangerous subjects, as its scenes are taken from the revo lutionary war in the Vendee. In the present state of the Parisian mind, this fact has certainly not been injurious to the play, and a grand sue eons is reported. M. JULES JANIN is in a now glow of enthusiasm, and we have not yet seen an unfriendly word. The poli tical journals very carefully record an inci dent which occurred on the first repreeentation of the play. In a scene where the actor Charly, as a delegate of the National Convention, implores the citizens to put aside their private quarrels and reserve their swords and their blood for " the •' great cause of the Republic," the audience, filling the immense building, rose and vehemently cheered the words. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) 111 ft. DLSRAELI The Times compares Mr. Disraeli's allusion to his relations with Lord Derby. to a circular announcing to customers that a confidential clerk has succeeded to an old-established business, that it will be conducted on the same principles as hitherto, and that he hopes by assiduity and steadiness to merit the continuance of their favours and patronage. But there is no humility in what fellows. The address is studded with the most beautiful moral and political ENWEIA, not always very apropos, but which are not for that the 11,4 admirably suited to furnish the copy. books of conservative beginner,. The style is good, although the sentiments are not novel or convincing. and the ar rangement is lucid. On behalf of the country, however, our contemporary laments that what is to be regarded as a conservative manifesto addressed to the nation, much more than to Buckinghamshire, contains many pro- miss'to moist the policy of others, but no signs of any policy for the groat conservative party itself, except simply to resist and mist. It is bat little encouraging, 0•011 to conservatives, if moderately thoughtful, to be in formed that the now conservative premier pursues without deviation his conservative prodeceosor's policy. A policy was the cue gift of • statesman which Lord Derby never poesemed. The statement gives tho same kind of comfort as a customer who had detected his wine merchant in sup plying him with a demotion of logwood instead of port would derive from the aasurance that he could take no harm from it, as it was just what he kid been drinking for twenty years past. SPAIN. The Laity Nee observes that the fall of the 9psuai,h monarchy has not only revealed to Europe how com pletely the foundation of the throne had perished, but has revealed the depth and serionicioes of the crisis to Spaniards themselves. Revolutions are born, not made ; and though this revolution seems to have been male by the army, it would have been nothing but a MOONS. ful rising had it not first been born in the desires and aspirations of the pooplo. Spain was ripe for revolution, and the revolting generals bay s bat plucked the fruit which was Toady to their hands. This evident ripeness of the revolution makue the pros pects of the Bourbon dynasty more hopeless, even if it does not render the task of the triumphant leaders more hopeful. It remains, indeed, to be seen whether they hays yet !monied to rule by learning to obey. Fur hotter or for worse, Marshal Serrano is practically master of Spain. But the quehtion arum.., is he equal to the task ? Spain needs an Expartero with the will of Narvaer and the energy of an O'Donnell. Ras it found such a one in Francisco &nano The Post described the ex-Queen's proton at being of a piece with all her acts. Written evidently by a hand either priutly or priostlike, it unites within itvelf all the querulous, impudent, and lying characteristics of the literature of priesteraft. It is, indeed, about the most futile document to which • royal signature was ever appended, and it is • siguilluint proof of the moral and intellectual degradation to which Isabella must have come that at such • momentous levied of her history she should put it forth in a serious manner. This protest will give the last blow to any remains of feeling that might have been entertained for Labelle iu the Peninsula, and it wiU ever remain a conclusive proof of the blindness and folly which have bat her her crown. TIT CIIITYIiaI oownarks. The lie. aid ays of the recent chureheongross at Dublin that it was not a demonstration against the disnaptioaista, but the spontaneous expression of English interest in and sympathy with the Irish branch of the church; and the effect was to prove the unity existing between the two branches of the establishment. No One has any season to . _ be alarmed for the future of the Irish church if witty her friends will snake up their minds to be true to theniaelves, and not givo way to blind panic, whether that feeling Mods to abject submission or to a rocklike spirit of du fiance. VITI7 KILNS All ROUX. The Zehgraph says that if the promise to run trains from Liverpool to London in four hours had been an. nounced before the Abergele accident, we should have hailed it gladly and sung a song or two about our enor mous superiority to our forefathers. Now, however, there corns qualms and ugly doubts. For the train is to run over the London and North-Wostern Railway, with its immense goods traffic at Minuet every station ; and the starting of a faster " fast train" on a hue already under a severs pressure of traffic does look formidable. It is all very well to set out at great speed, to reach Liverpool iu four hours— but we may g o f ur t h er and faro worse: we may be hurried into eternity in half the time. How about goods trains creeping slowly before us! Hoar about eluding at intermediate stations ? How about exc ur sionsi How will signals and brooks act when a train sweeps on at a speol exceeding that of all other trains sues the line i The difficulty seems serious: but to recuitiiimo it is the fist "top towards overcoming it.

The letters of tho special oorrespondonts of the Time. and Daily News at Madrid add oonsiderably to our knowledge of recent important eventa. When the movement commenced the groat majority of foreign ministers wore absent from Madrid. Sir John Crampton was at L (hand's do Ban Ildefonso, Mr. Lytton, the son of Lord Lytton, having the care of British interests. Tho Time. oorrespondent gives some parti culars of " General " Esoalanto, who has been mentioned in the telegrams as having been placed in command of the armed citizens. It appears that he had been arrested by Concha about twenty four hours before the defeat of Novaliches : Proud of its power to break prison doors no ken than to storm palace windows, the mob lifted the freekoaptive on its shoulders, bore him through the already pudgy de corated streets, cheering, or "videreasesh," as the expres sive word is here, sad, stopping before a military haber dasher's shop, they "borrowed" a gamer s scarf, bound it round a liberated prisoner's loins, and out of their own full authority promoted him then and there boom the rank of a liseteoant-colonel, of which he Mill wore the elan - - and stripes co his coat, to that of an officer three or four degrees further up in the wale, of which the scarf was the badge. Ono of the main acts aaoribod to Escalante was the opening of the royal arsenals, and the dis tribution of some 50,000 stand of arms to the populace. The correspondent of the Daily New. states that the whole of the insurrectionary movement has been under the direction of a committee, most of whom are members of the Freemasons' Society—of which there are not less than 49 lodges, numbering 21,000 members, in Madrid—and who have for months past been drilling and arming the people in preparation foe this outbreak. Ho successful had been these efforts, that for the last few days there have been in Madrid no less than 20,000 men, all armed with muskets or re volvers (the latter the most common weapon), and ready to act at any moment against the govern ment. Nor was the influenoe of this junta, which of course acted in combination with Generals Ser rano, Prim, and the others, confined to the people. They had friends in many of the public departments ; and every telegram which was received in Madrid was mid by them as soon as by the President of the Council, General Concha. The change was not accomplished entirely at Madrid without loss of life. TWO roucwar W.L.ID Two chiefs of the police, who had made themselves ob noxious to the people by numerous acts of severity per foimed under the direction of the late administration, ►nd who had wanted either the pru knee or the opportunity to &fawn from Madrid when matters came to a crisis, wore bet upon in the streets and murdered, under, I am afraid. circumf-tances of great cruelty. It is not easy in the existing condition of things to ascertain exactly what oc curred ; but I am told that neither of these men—named reflectively Estarquere and Sourrors—wore killed at once, but that they were stabbed, beaten, and dragged about the pavement for some time before life was extinct. It would be foolish of me to assert that these are the only acts of violence which have been committed by the people, but they are the only ones which have come to my know ledge; and I believe that if any others of a serious cha racter had occwred I should have heard of them. There will nu real danger, but aura,. little ex citement in aLNO TIM 'TREES.. Police, soldiers, or gendarmes (civil guard), of course third were none to be seen ; but every moment I met eivilians armed with muskets and bayonets ; and at very 'heat intervals indeed, at the corners of narrow streets, of courts or alleys, Immo upon what were evidently poets of guards of ten or a dozen such individuals. Many o f th e citizen soldiers were by no means the beet-favoured individuals in the world. There was about mauy of them an appearance of grim fiercenear which was hardly calculated to inspire confidence in the mind of any one who was not assured that they were acting under ordure, and were bound by obligations, which there was no fear of their violating, to obey the instructions which had been given to them, and not only to abstain from any acts of violence themsolvee, but to prevent them on the part of others. These orders did not, however, prevent the frequent discharge of their firearms, and the only disagreeable Mecum stance which I encountered in the course of my rambles was that, over and over again, some excited patriot would fire off a rifle or a revolver in close proximity to my ear. I believed, and still believe, that on all ocrmaious these weapons were leaded with blank cartridge, and that they were fired in pure good humour, and as a mere expression of joy end satisfaction ; but in critical times like theme the sound of a musket shot is always somewhat alarming. and at any time oue can never be sure that the firer has exercised sufficient caution in regard to the exclusion of bullets. Apart from those little excitements, it was very pleasant to walk about Madrid. Perambulating guards, or pickets, composed of mon who have been drilling for mouths past, in preparation for this event,formed into regular companies of thirty or forty each. and ander the command of regularly appointed officers, and accompanied, some by buglers of the regular army, and others by military bands, parade the town both night and day. A painful sight was the arrival of won who wore wounded at the battle of Cordova, the most serious canes being carried through the streets on litters. RECEFTIOX OF 113/1 WOIINDED. I have just met a young officer, a lieutenant 1 believe, who fought under Novatidies. Ile WAS lying upon a num ber of pillows, carried by four soldiers, and was guardel by a detachment of armed civilians. Th e guard was, I imagine, intended to protect him from insult, but if that was their design it was most unnecessary. There is a p a lly o f women , th e w i ves , s i sters, or other relations great crowd at the railway-station, consisting pritici• of soldiers who have been serving in Andalusia ; but its be haviour is admirable. The wounded men, some of whom, have been fighting ag a i ns t th e popular, and now the nut esut all, eoessful , cause are received with quiet and almost melancholy respect, and there dine not seem to be the slightest inclination to cast blame upon thou for their obedience to the orders of their genuraLs. It is by n o means a pleasant sight, this transportation of wouuded men, and is well calculated to moderate all the feelings of exultation which have lately been uppermost in the minds of the people of Madrid. The young ofiker whom I have mentioned was almost as pale as the white cushions upon which he was lying ; and though b e sow e d npun the people as they uncovered to him as ho passed along, oven In forming the smile his lips were distorted by the agony which he WWI evidently suffering from his wounds. A much greater number of wounded were ex pected than have arrived, and wane fifty or core litters which were sent down to the station have pia , away empty.

The French papers are taking a good deal of interest in English politics, and frcqueutly con tain extracts, with comments, from the leading London journals. The Moniteur of this morning publishes in eXiel 410 Mr. Disraeli's address to the electors of the county of Buckingham, of which document the official organ prints a summary in the first paragraph of its bulletin, but dues nut fur the present make any editorial remark upon the line of policy indicated by the Prime Minister. The Coutitutionnel also gives • compendious digest of the minister's address. and re marks, with refereince to his attempt to justify the maintenance of the Church of England in the midst of the Irish people that the argu ments ho employs to that end are far more lik e ly to work in favour of its suppression. The Opiaioa Nationale says that their cor respondent at Berlin speaks of the efforts made by the English government lately to prevent any serious combination in the way of a Prusso-Russian entente, and adds : Lord Stanley knows very well--anti so, indeed, do all British statesmen—the Fart that RUNii.l would play in such an alliance, which would be of a tuitare to make it necessary for England to iutorfen: it the East. T h at is the reason why the Minister of Foreign AtT.iirs is diem `• birisily opposed to the realisation of niche project. The science and practice of war, with the new principles, !aids, and applianees which taedern invention has discovered, are undergoing a most careful and elaborate steely at the ministry of war, where interesting military conference.. are held two or three times a week. under the pre sidency of the general of division. the dinetor of the depot. Several of the most talented and best informed of the staff officers are especially cletrjzeil by the Emperor to treat of special military q•ies tions, and are said to acquit themselves of the task with equal ability and assiduity. For sone. time past these conferences have been exclusively occupied with the most prominent novel inven tions of the day likely to exert •lt influence upon the art of war. Thus the employment of railways, as a modern agent. transmissi,ai of messages by the electric wire. the captive balloon for making reeotinaisances out Of idiot of the enemy, are the subjes'ls which have engaged ;most attention up to the preeent time. As I informed you sone• days ago, when *positing of the exiberiments at the camp at Chalons, the use of the military telegraph, which had been confided to staff officers, has now hem, extended to the engitieort, to all of whom it 1 5 4 . 1 : present available.
