SECOND AND THIRD EDITIONS OF TM EXPRESS, CONTL=fO The Latest Telegrittns the Latest City ; Railway, Mining, and other Shares; Sporting, and Gene ral Intelligence, A 23 PUBLISHED EVERY EVENING. LONDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 15. RE-CONSTRUCTION OF THE AD.IfILILTI. MERE seems to be really a chance at last of something like a reconstruction of the Board of Admiralty, which ever since sailing line-of battle ships and paddle-wheel steamers went out of fashion, has been perpetually reconstruct ing everything but itself. The hour is now come; and the man, in the person of Mr. thimnitas, who to all appearances is precisely what a First Lord should be : not a sailor (we never heard of any one except the late Sir NAPIAR who wished to put a sailor at the head of the Admiralty), but sailor-like in all the best qualities of that noble profession--in prac tical good sense, business-like energy, strict regard for discipline, frank and genial manners. An Admiral for First Lord would be more "at sea" than he ever was in his life, and he would probably insist on building only such ships as he sailed in in his youngster days. The First Lord of the late Administration had many excel lent qualifications for the post; a genuine love of the sea and of the sea life, a close and familiar ac quaintance with naval affairs and with the details of the service, a charming manner. But ho wanted health and strength, perhaps, or at any rate the needful energy to initiate reforms ; perhaps he was a little too sentimentally attachedto the ancient ways, and owned too fond a reverence for the old traditions of the service. His successor, Mr. comogas, who, long before he had reached the pr i me of his years bad acquired habits of business and large practical experience in colonial life, and who knows t',e rough as well as the smo o th side of public affair;, had acquired in the laid Parliament so considerable a reputation for ad- winistrative aptitude that ho was variously desig nated, by general report, to the Ministry of War, to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, and to the post to which ho has bean actually ap pointed. As an independent member, and as a Junior Lord, ho has paid great attention to the details of our naval administration, first as an unofficial reformer, subsequently as a candid official representative of a Board whose short comings be was more prepared to mouse than to justify. In the working department of the Treasury ho showed a prompt mastery of all the points upon which be was called upon to give explanations in committee, and a perfect clearness in statement. And in Oppo*ion he qualified himself for future reeponsibilllg by a constant attendmiee on Estimate nights and a certain subdued enthusiasm for retrenskiont. A FIRST LORD is not expected to have " ems " legs," but Mr. Cnn.nzaa, who has bean roaad the world, will probably be quite at home on the quarter-deck. What is more important, ho has studied patiently and accurately all those ques tions on the solution of which true naval eoo nomy depends—such as the relative ad vantages and cost of work done in Govern ment establishments and in private yards; the organisation of dockyard labour and the supply of stores; the relative proportions of the com batant and the noncombatant, the executive and the administrative personnel of the service; the proper elassitietition of ships, and distribution of squadrons. le has shown himself not afraid of cutting down what may be called the " top " hamper" of the service without diminishing efficiency. What the common sense of the public has long sought for in our naval administration is a concentration of responsibility, so that we may know " whom to hang." and a division of labour, so that each " Lord" may have his special work to do, and do it. It appears to be decided that there must be some sort of Board, and Mr. CHILDERS' plan for making it more handy has the merit of simplicity. The First Sea Lord will, in some sort, be the double of the First Lord, and follow his political fortunes; he will have the officers and ships' companies of the fleet under his eye. The Controller of the Navy will be the second Senior Lord, and chief permanent officer of the Board, and under his care will be placed the dockyards and all the maiEriel. To each of these Senior Lords will be attached • Junior ; to the first Sea Lords Junior Sea Lord, who will be &poet captain, and to the second t3ea Lord and Controller a Junior civilian administrator. Each of tho Juniors will be to the First Lord in parliament and for his senior at the board like NELSON'S frigates, " theeyes "of the fleet." Such is tho proposed reconstruc tion of tho Admiralty Board, according to the Times. Our contemporary, in wishing well to Mr. Cnn.nEss, warns him that the Navy is an eminently conservative profession. It scorns to us that there is nothing in a departmental recon struction which has for its objects oe.l - and efficiency combined that can possibly affect injuriously the interests of the really effec tive portion of the service. Some gallant veterans on the retired list may shake their beads and growl over it at the club, but their sucurossors on the active list will not be the losers if jobbery, favoritism, irresponsibility, and obstinate prejtt di. e, arc consigned to the limbo of the past. THE EXPRESS. TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 15, 1868. THE QUEENS BOOK. A (mutiny() addition has been wade to the gift-books of the year. The illustrated edition of " Our Life in the Highlands" is the very thing for a Christmas present, and will augment the already enormous popularity of the gracious and touching confidences shared with her people by the QUERN. Handsomely printed on toned paper, this fine quarto contains many sketches by her MAJESTY, as well as engravings from the works of various artists of the day. The leading incidents in the Diary are familiar to all England, and the sumptuous edition now published merely gives material form and shape to that which had already acquired vitality and distinctness in the public mind. Rir EDWIN LANDSEER'S picture of Balmoral Forest, with the Prince Consort in the foreground, and the stag ho has brought down at his fectomings.Majesty riding towards him on a Highland pony, and the dogs dividing their wistfully affectionate regard be tween their royal master and mistress, forms the subject of the first engraving. The completion of Cairn on Craig Gowan, which all: readers will remember, is the occasion of another spirited engraving by fintrumrsox from a sketch by Wil.f). The stag shot by the l'utzet, and of which a reduced sketch from one taken by the Quizs w•as given in the first edition of the Diary, is now reproduced in fac-simile, and is further honoured by being made the centre of the picture, " Evening at Old Balmoral " Castle," by CARL HAAG, from whose works several other of the engravings are taken. The intensely personal affection entertained for the Ch - Ert will moreover be gratified by the two chromo-lithographs of her MAJzary's and the PRINCE CONSORT'S sitting rooms at Balmoral. The English public loves to peep into the home life of its sovereign, and thousands of sympathetic readers will turn to the PRINCE Cossoter's writing-table by the window, and note the chaste simplicity of both apartments, while picturing to themselves the pure domestic happiness of which they were the scene. This new edition is, however, handsome and appropriate throughout. It has scarcely a page without an illustration, and excellent portraits and groups of the people mentioned in the Diary abound in it. The Grim( has conferred a boon upon all to whom the pleasant, but somewhat embarrassing duty of making Christmas gifts devolves, and we predict that her book in its present gorgeous shape will gain a new circulation which will approach, if it does not equal the old. THE SICK POOR ASSOCIATION. EVKRTON3 will be glad to learn that the Work house Infirmaries Association is meditating a resumption of its useful labours. The in teresting letter we publish this evening from Mr. Elwyn HART shows too, that though its meetings have not been so numerous as formerly, its representative* have not been idle, and that fresh efforts are on the point of being made on behalf of the hapless and the weak. We are unaffectedly glad to hear it. The energy displayed and the exertions made by We admirable society have been great, and we are satisfied that if the same machinery is set in motion as before substantial improvementa in the administration of the Poor - law are sure to follow. No man knows bet ter than Mr. HART how much remains to be done, and none, we may be sure, will work more cordially in the direction of reform. The official rendering of the public demand for efficient in spection, as shown in the appointment of two inexperienced relatives of the Earl of DEVON and Mr. Ferraro, will, we trust, be made matter fur parliamentary inquiry ; and the Workhouhe Infirmary Association would do good service if it turned its attention in the first instance to departmental reform, and at the same time let a little daylight into that mystery of mysteries, the Poor-law Board. The honorary secretaries to the Association, Mr. ERNEST HART, Dr. ANSTIE, Dr. Cana, and Dr. ROOMS might tell us for example what their im pression is of the administration of the depart ment. Statements and oounter-statements of the most sweeping character are being made, and as the Sick Poor Assodaiion and its eupporters in the press were the people who papers readiness, . prepared upon his pension, if Mr. Vu.ususs had returned to his old post,—it may be that • little out-speaking on the past would enable the public to form a just opinion as to the manner in w bleb it has been served. It seems agreed on all sides that there have boon grave official eborteoruings, and it would be useful to hear from the ',mks tors of the Workhouse Inquiry Associa tion, upon whom, in their opinion, the onus rests.

The Newcastle Chronicle, referring to Mr. Bright's reception by the Queen on the occasion of his acceptance of office, rays : —" We understand on Mr. Gladst4me men tinning to ber Majesty that be intended, with her premis elm, to offer a seat in the Cabinet to the hon. member for Birmingham, the Queen was pleased to say it would *Hord ber the greatest satisfaction if Mr. Bright should con sent to serve the Crown—that she had read his speeches with great pleasure, and that she was under the greatest obligation to him for the many kind words he had spoken of her, especially for a speech he made about two years ago in a gnat Emoting is Bt.

Mr. Bright smiled himself of this easnidenste pa. and was very kindly and cardielly resolved by her Majesty, wisotoobemeasioa fathomed marked manner to express bre gratification at meeting him. It wan after wards intimated to Mr. Bright that her royal highness the Primus Boyal of Prank had expressed a dente that Mr. Bright should be presented to her. This was done, and the Princess heartily amend Mr. Bright that she greatly desired to be acquainted with him—that she her self and all the members of the royal family were greatly indebted to him for the way in which he had spoken of their mother. She herself, she said, had read all hie speeches, and she was very pleased to see him. Mr. Bright replied in very graceful terms, and said if her royal highness would permit him he would tell her whet the late Mr. Buchanan the American minister when last in London, said of her to Urn, that wherever her royal higlinei.s went she shed sunshine over all her path.' Mr. Bright was very much struck with the graceful. animated manners and genial greeting he bad the honour to receive from her royal highness, and the young ladle+ of the court tell with curious interest of the meeting between her ri lel highness and the great (locker courtier. Mr. Bright Las already become as famous in royal circles as his great predecessor, William Penn." Her Majesty the Queen, with their Royal High nesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia.

The Corrapondetuia says that no orders of the government ware communicated to the Duke of Montpensier to return to Lisbon. When he arrived at Cordova he there learned that neither reactionists nor Carlists were concerned in the revolt at CliClii, and that it was only an out break of the extreme fraction of the liberal party. The Duke of Montpensier might possibly have been misinformed as to the character of the outbreak, but be had no intention to take any part against the revolution. After having arrived at the conviction that no more blood would bo shed he left for Lisbon. In order to mislead public opinion, a rumour had been spread at Cadiz and other points of Anda lusia that the Government intended to impose the candidature of the Duke de Montpensier by means of a coup cr Etat. This rumour is a calumny both against the Go vernment and the Duke of Montpensier. The Duke will only accept the crown in case the Consti tuent Cortes, chosen by the free voice of all liberal parties of tho nation, should offer him the throne. ROUMANIA.. BUCHAREST, Dsc. 14.

The Master of the Rolls committed Mr. Collette for osatmapt but discharged the editor, leaving him, however, to pay his own costs. While approving the judgment as far as it affects Mr. Collette, the Ansa thinks it is tarrying the dignity of courts of equity • little too far, and establishing a principle which may make anybody guilty of contempt without knowing it. and for merely giving an opinion on subjects which s►rictly regard himself, his friends, his customers, or the public. Can it be said that the publication of letters in ignorance that the writer Las any professional interest in the matter, and simply with • view of giving to the readers of a journal the information they contain--is such an interference with the administration of justice as to so far ju,tify a motion to commit the conductor of • news paper, that he is only to be compassionately CKCUAed. and is to be left to pay his own costs t It seems to our con tent] orary that the recognition of on. h a principle is a serious infringtment of that liberty of the press in giving information which has is en within the last few days wise:, upheld in the Court of Queen's Bench. Ono or two more deCiBiOUR in the saute spirit as Lord Itomilly's, and n 1 conductor of a newspaper will be secure from per secution at the hands of an enterprising litigant. 11Ik IMPROVED REVOLUTIONARY RI ono: IN SPAIN. The Daily IVeICB observes, that in all the revolutions, insurrections, and pronouncements which have made up Spanish history during the lust 30 year*, the victorious general on either side hoe seldom shrunk from shooting his defeated rivals in batches, and fusillading his captured prisoners in platoons. Serrano, Prim, Topete, and their colleagues, have now set a different example, and have restored order and the authority of the law without that everlasting French prescription of grape-shot. The man ner in which the insurrection at Cadiz has been arrested seems to show a vitality and a stability in the revolution which its adversaries had probably not suspected. The Peat says the chief event worthy of notice con. uected with this outbreak is the proposal made by the Duke of Montpensier to place his sword at the service of the Previa' intuit Government. The secret of the matter, no doubt, is that he desired to identity himself with those who just now lillthe office of king-makers; and no one can blame him for a well-intentioned but ill-advised attempt to push his own fortunes. In the opinion of the 71 , kgroph this occurrence ought to imprimis upon the Provisional Government the necessity for an early and frank declaration of its programme. It seems to be admitted on all sides that Prim and his colleagues are determined to establish a constitutional monarchy in the Peninsula, and on the whole, the Telegraph is in clined to believe that they are right in this resolve. TOP LAW OPWICERS OP TI CZOWY. According to :he Herold, Mr. Gladstone's selection of his law officers is noticeable in Ireland as showing that protestaatiam is at • disoount, and in England from the fact that the Premier should have had to encounter so many impediments, arising in part from the conscientious scruples, and in part from the personal incompatibility, of those on whose support and 00-operation ha bad counted. rAN IMMO OP WORKS. The Stet thinks it is almost impossible to suppcas that a solution can be found for the difficulty in which the me. tropolis is placed without a complete revision of the status of the Board of Works. Its members are sleeted, not by the ratepayers who have to meet the expenses incurred, but by the different local vestries, to whom the privilege of returning a representative is only an appanage of their proud parochial position. The Stor urges the necessity of a direct and popular representation of the ratepayers, and of a considerable increase in the manlier composing the board.

OUR PARIS LETTER. (MOIL OWN OWN ODINWIRONDINT.) PARIS, MONDAY Emma's. The umasiness caused by the Greek question is neither greater nor lets than last week. The go vtrawent journals refer to the matter in few words, which are the reverse of confident. The Tatra says riivate and very reliabUt Information auttiorioi: :a. to hope. in spite of the despatch of the WI, that the efforts of the powers will succeed in preventing a conflict in the East. The l'rew, which would call itself an Molls It dent imperialist journal, takes a much loss h 015.1.11 view. It says : We believe that the effcrt, of diplomacy will he and that between this and the 17th a rupture will be de dared between Turkey and Greece. The Gresk giveru mcnt knows well enough that it incurs no .orious danger by resistance. In any case the protecting powers will not destroy their own work. If the powers, de :irons, above all things, of preventing a collision, send Beets to Athens. the Greek government, overwhelmed by suprior force. will wash its hands of the matter and leave foreigners to do its police work. But if, which we think more likely. the powers leave Turkey free under certain limits to act as she pleases, the Greek government hopes for ultimate sup port from Russia, and St. Petersburg alone can give en answer to the grave question whether a general war is to result from the present difficulty. The France thus curtly expresses the official hopes yet entertained : The em great powers are still acting in common to overcome the resistance of the Hellenic government. It is still Doped that the &dim' result will be attained be tween this and the llth, the day fixed by Turkey for a de finitive answer from Orroce. The Gazette de Fran. e, a great Bourbonian au thority, says that on the news of the Cadiz insur rection General Pezuela, Count de Cheste, Gon zalez Bravo, and many other men of note devoted to Isabella, held a meeting in Paris, at which it was decided to agitate the army in Spain and pro voke anti-revolutionary e',,,eutes. General Pezuela, it is said, left Paris on the 11th to act in Spain against the Provisional Government, and entertains the greatest hopes of success. The Gazette de France professes to disbelieve the telegrams re porting the interference in the affairs of Spain of the Duke de Montpensier. I believe that in terference true, and it is most important. Spain seems to be drifting into a frightful civil war. One of the rumours on which are founded the hopes that the Eastern question may not blaze up just now is that the haughty Turkish demonstra tion was prompted by Austria, ou the assumption that she was acting in accordance with the desires of Napoleon 111., and that now the French Emperor, shrinking from the catastrophe, has in timated to M. de Bvust that ho must keep Con stantinople quiet. M. Marie, the republican who was elected a deputy for Marseilles in 1t463 at the same time with the legitimist, Berryer, thinks himself bound by the compact then made between the two Bell tions of the opposition, and, to the great astonish ment of his democratic friends, patronises the can didature of the Marquis de Barthelemy instead of that of M. Oambetta. The French banister of War has just informed the different departmental sanitary aatborities that arms will be distributed to the National Guard Mobile from the Nth to the 30th December, and that the force will commence Ms Maiming in the math of Februai7 ant Letters from Naples ere most favourable w omb of tlia mops of ailk, cotton, olives, and other arti cles of exportation from that country. Some of the German journals announce that the library of the Emperor Maximilian is about to be told at Leipsin The Dublin Mud regrets to state that the alarm ing illness of the Comtism of Mountsdgetuabs has ren dered it necessary that the Duke of Aberoorn should immediately mooed to Cannes. Prince Frederick, undo of Xing George I. of Greets, arrived lately at Code, and embarked immediately for Athens on board a Tempel sent to receive him. M.
