A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, CONTAINING The Latest Foreign Telegrams; the Latest City; Railway, Mining, and other Shares ; Sporting, and General Intelligence, 18 1•17IILIMMID EVERY EVENING. LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY ]B. MARRIAGE OR CELIBACY. Tux correspondents of the London Journal must be startled to find their peculiar domain seized upon by $ widely-circulating morning newspaper. When -to marry, whom to marry, and how to marry, have long been the topics upon which tender confidences are interchanged between the conductor of the weekly miscellany and its readers. The colour of the hair, the shape of the tooth, Use characteristics of the figure, and the attributes of the mind, are all told with engaging frankness to the mysterious editor—told, too, for the purpose of being published, and with the *Ned of obtaining similar confidences from numbers of the other sex. In the columns of the Daily Telegraph may now be found the same gushing confidences, the same inde finite sentimentality, the same =practical aspirations, the same strong hankering after matrimony, and the same touching belief in edito rial omnipotence. If, say the letter-writers, the world is out of joint, the paper printing our effu sioruris born to put it right ; and the mere fact of being allowed to say in all the glory of type that 3501.-per annum is enough or is not enough to maintain a wile and family, has about it an indc eeribeUy consoling charm. For the standard set up now is far lower than that discussed and own reented on in the Times some years ago. Three hundred per annum was then the limit at which middle-clam matrimony was thought worthy of forlinprit, and plenty of scoffers were found to denounce even this as an impossibility or a mistake. Gendexten dated their letters unblushingly from " Q 4 203100 ,the Evangelist," and eulogised the *Pet* glistdkrimers of an unholy, but temporary, failimaiieg &tem Wm dawn THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY of women with every virtue but oiisortio ktne devoted their lives to preserving dm youth o England from the fell snare of matrimony. The club, as an instrument used .by saitvess to keep off and threaten women, wee extendvely em ployed in the first great controversy upon matri mony, and has been scarcely seen in the last. The cost of kmurieis, of servants, winos, party giving, and travelling, had full consideration in theione, and are all glided over or unmentioned in the other. In short, a lower grade of society is appealed to, and appealing now it asks, with touching earnestness, whether it may marry without the certainty of disaster. The impulsive young gentlemen and ladies who believe in their " strong right hand" as a talisman with which to satisfy the butcher, baker, and tax-gatherer, are rebuked by correspondents who condemn their effusions se " bosh," while happy wives and husbands of many years standing toll us of their difficulties and triumphs in a way which tempts ono to regard life as a fairy tale. The simple faith of TRADDLES and " the dearest girl," whose recrea tions and expenditure wore at one time limited to the looking in at the windows of shops, ap pears to bo duplicated all over England by human chameleons who live principally on air. The old copy-book axiom that " a contented mind is a " continual feast" must be taken literally, if many of these letter-writers are to be believed. A Scotch young lady writes of her " brew laddio" and his " 1001. a year," in terms which suggest Arcadia—save that the poor fellow is ill and not yet " her own, her own ! " Gentlemen who appear on their own showing to have been unsuccessful in all they have turned their hands to, quote emigration as the one panacea for social inequalities, and are ready to marry off-hand on the splendid prospects they foresee in the TOM TEDDLBR'S ground of their imagination. " Who " will show us any new thing under the sun ?" asked the ancient philosopher, and the question is repeated in other forme throughout this surprising correspondence. We suppose no ono ever was or ever will be driven into matrimony, or dissuaded from it, by reading what other people think or prognosticate as the correspondents of newspapers. But these discussions are not without their value. They remind the people prone to luxury and extravagance how modest are the hopes and how narrow the horizon of thousands of educated men and women in this country. The money many a man who believes himself to be economical will throw away annually in cab-hire or club-dinners would enable some of these trustful couples to settle themselves without fear. For it is noteworthy that the whole problem of to marry or not to marry turns upon the question of being able to feed and clothe a wife and family. No other doubts appear to disturb the aspirants of either sex ; the bare neces saries of life are within the reach of the middle class, people who marry on from one hun dred to two hundred a year, but these are held to bathe the world in rose-colour by the ardent advo cates of early marriage. The young ladies are, perhaps naturally, in the majority of those holding this view ; and the worldly counsel of a French girl who sneered at love in a cottage, and the prudent whisperings of damsels who prefer the comforts of their father's home to the uncertain ties and bitter struggles of poverty outside it, are condemned as treasonable by their fellow writers. Much of the poverty and misery of the world seems to be explained by the argu ments used and the experience given. For tho possibility of living is the utmost insisted upon even by the most prudent. That " provision " for the family" which gives rise to so many anxious thoughts in other spheres of life never seems to trouble the people who marry upon bare sub sistence-money. Saving being out of the question, and keeping up the payments for any useful sum of life-insurance equally so, thousands of men are satisfied if they can keep the wolf from the door in their own life-time ; and go out of the world with the full knowledge that they are leaving a widow and children destitute. Nor must those who condemn this extensive class as cruel and sel fish be too sure of their own wisdom. The popu lation and the prosperity of the country would both receive a speedy check lino one married until they could do so prudently; and the letter-writers of to-day are but types of the deeply rooted desire which permeates every condition of life. With scarcely an exception the men and women who remain single up to middle-age have done so in spite of themselves. The im pulses are cold now, the fancy has died out, the love has turned to ashes; but the prudent maxims and philoso phical precepts, ever on the lips, are but so many endearments which have frosted for want of use, or been petrified by time. An early disap - pointment lurks behind the wise saws and modern instances. The plain truth is, that people will marry, whether it be good for them or not ; and the useful lesson for the public teacher to en force is moderation in expectations, and patience under cares. The young man of Brasil income whose position necessitates clean linen and broad cloth will assuredly find a wife and family a heavy addition to his anxieties, and will pro bably discover that his " strong right hand'" will have more than it can do. The young woman who males him will have an existence which, if it were not sanctified by love, would be that of a slave. But ' a true woman loves martyrdom, and the twain will . probably rub through the world more ussefully than if they had kept apart. That they will enjoy the happiness they expect,. no one with experience of life believes. But as this remark applies to every position under Heaven, it need not act as a deterrent. It is the constant crav ing site: happiness, inherent in humanity, to which our astute contemporary Is profitably pandering by its present eccentric publications. " Which of us," asks the moralist, " has what he " deeiras, or having it is satisfied ?" and the unlveriedity of the answer is not effected by the holy state into which so many young people long to rush. sa acourate writot,T a llw9 l etrieturqsan, ibe or some value. * says " Altheugh many ' " of the preisitt day areiodopendent df grammasial " entirdytlesaythatiltirox wagons° , thaischadt Redoubtleas meant to write, " that Miutoir was Ono "of them." This, however, is the peer who con siders himself competent to play the critio, and who does not hesitate to allege that "we should " all of us be poets if poems were written in this " fashion." Whether the poem be by Mwrox or not, it is at least as good as any of the verses with which Lord Wrxerrruizi has favoured an unappreciative public,. More important is the itatement made by theAsaistant Keeper of printed books at the British Miumium. lie says that the initials are not "J. M.," but "P. M.," ind that the handwriting is not Mu,- •oir's. If this be substantiated, then there is an end to the question. But it is on that* points that the discussion will be most protracted, end least satisfactory. We may expect that, as is their custom, one sot of " experts" will affirm something which another set will deny. Indeed, instead of regarding the controversy as settled by any opinions yet vouchsafed, we consider that materials have boon supplied for an interminable dispute. The famous Shakes peare with Ml 3. annotations is still believed in as firmly by some as it is repudiated by others. Those who have pronounced this to be a genuine poem of Murex's will consider it their duty to defend the acuteness of their percep tion, and will in consequence reject all evidence which clashes with their own esti mate. In one respect, MILTON'S renown will be increased by this discovery, Those who have been accustomed to mention his name with re spect, but who have passed by his works with indifference, will now turn to his pages out of curiosity. What MACAULAY'S ar tide did for him in 1825, will be re peated, owing to the publication of Professor MOBLEY'S letter. It is well that in this, if no other way, the memories of classical writers should be brought prominently before the notice of a public which is too apt to forget those who ought to be held in perpetual and living remembrance. THE HILTON CONTROVERSY. twz poem ascribed by Professor MORLEY to Jame Mu.roie has been already made the subject of different kinds of criticism. Some critics of repute have decided that internal evidenoe proves it to be the work of Krum. A peer who has dabbled in verse, but whose critical reputation is yet unmade, has informed the rtiaders of the Times that MILTON might " have written in " private," but would not have published cer tain lines ; that ho would not have employed the word " plenteously ;" that, if he did write it ho "must have been very old and ill when he corn " menced the poem, " and " off his head" *hen he ended it, and that the last ten lines are " " jumble from Bedlam." Now, we do not think this sort of comment will settle the question at issue. If Lord Wnwnthazt ever heard of the fato of Mr. lisamAx MarsivALit's cri tique on the " Patton Letters" he would hare hesitated before asserting that • BEILTOR would not haw used a tirtioailar Were lie THE ENGLISH CLIMATE AND CHARACTER. IF it be true as has been asserted that a change is taking place in our climate, and that we may look for hotter summers and more moderate winters, it becomes a curious question how far the national life is likely to suffer. Although we cannot agree with Mr. Itteress.EY in his enjoyment of a sharp north easter, we believe that a bracing but ungenial climate has had no small influence upon our cha racter as a people. During such a season as Englishmen are now enduring in London and enjoying in the country, it is difficult to dis play the energy and pluck which we are vain enough to regard as national characteristics. Whatever work has to be done is done languidly and on compulsion. If we are forced to exert ourselves we probably get• out of temper; if we have the power of choice we are well content to lie still and indulge in day dreams. For out-door enjoyment a summer so delightful has not been known for years. We have had week after week of blue skies and brilliant sunshine, of weather in which each woodland retreat and shaded stream has become an Eden, and the common talk about our climate's fickleness has for once been wholly suspended. But the heat has been excessive, and retired East Indians are reminded of Calcutta. Who is there bold enough to gird himself for vigorous enterprise with the thermometer at 86 in the shade ? Even the agricultural labourers are " knocking off" work during the mid-day heat. In the open fields, in confined city streets, in shops and warehouses, it is enough if the labour can be accomplished that is absolutely needful ; while, in the luxurious rural nooks with which this island abounds, the chief joy of existence is to recline with a pleasant book under the shade of venerable boughs. The first sharp wind or chilly shower will wake us all up again, and we shall be as capable as ever of riding a hobby-horse, of making a fortune, or of losing one. But what if the unpalatable but wholesome tonic of cold weather were denied us—what if the feeling of which almost everybody is now conscious were to become a permanent sensation ? Such a change is not to be desired. Better far that we should con tinue to struggle with biting winds, to live under clouded slriee, to rejoice in the 'sunshine as a god send—the more precious because of its rarity—than that we should exchange our northern hardi hood and enterprise for the dreamy nerveless life so common in warm climates. MR. DISRAELI AT ASTLEY'S. IN the hot months of duly and August, when Most reasonable people would expect theatres to be closed, the largest number of new pieces and startliug novelties are often produced. The pre met tropical weather has been. singularly fruitful .up to the present time, and the theatrical an nouncement; show that it is likely to be still more New dramas are "in preparation" at the • e, the Sawa, and the Queen's, and -]loot of simulators have taken Astley's ,Thavire with a view of making capital out lksiwpa's popularity. In 1839 the preetat plitp;:er of England published .tuuro.oWA alga Alamos, wh1c4,4414., 41 4 man , * turgid language with Giurah I h in the thirteenth century. This tragedy i s to he I produced at Astley's with all maven/art speed, the name of the PaillitaS being more pmminent on the playbills than the names of the eaters.

I•' _ _ Ws are accustomed to speak of the Indian rail wey companies as if they were not subject to the same jurisdiction as. English lines. Yet they are as really English railways as those which have stations in the metropolis. This has been ex emplified by an action for damages just brought against the Great Indian Penin sular Railway Company. The case was tried at Lewes before Mr. Justice Wuzsa. ' The jury was not called upon to assess the damages, as these were assented to by the counsel in the cause. They certainly appear to be very large, if not technically excessive. Their amount is 9,754)1. The plaintiff was the widow of a barrister practising in India, where he was killed, owing to a collision on the Great Indian Peninsular Railway. We supposed that the matter would not have been compromised bad the company expected to make better terms by defending the action. We fancy, however, that the lives of few members of the bar in this country would be appraised at the same rate. This-caw proves the high opinion generally entettained ss tp the lucrative nature of practice it the bin G, JULY 1 B,lefl O TEMPORAwma • : 18 DAY.) - - • _ • The Btsreigis• Cattle Market Bill ina rolees difficulties sad would impose on us certain Wags. venienoes, but in the opinion of the Tigers the difficulties are by no means insuperable, and the inainvenieness would probably be Is. than times we at present endure. At all events the obstinate obstruction which wee offered to the bill yesterday was wholly unjusliffsble. The matter is one on * deliberate dealsiou of the house sisseld be frankly assepted, and the Mass thinks the de cision setually arrived at is on the whole reasonable. Of the Corrupt Practices et Bisettons Bill, the Deily Aire remarks that, on points which are essential to the safety and proems of the bill, a conclusive majority is always at the service of the government, but on questions of lees vital moment the house does as it hies, and ILL Disraeli accepts its decagon. Probably, however, he does not greatly regret tie chief defeat he sustained yesterday, vbs., that relative to the aelatium proposed to be offered to the feelings of the judges. Apropos of a discussion in the Commons last night, the Port contends that if Greenwich Hospital I. to he kept up at all, it should be as an infirmary, sad as that alone ; for, as an asylum, it is calculated to do infinitely more lam than good. Perhaps we may next soesion see a reasonable and lasting scheme evolved out of the contusion in which the matter seems to lie at present. The Nereid is confident that the licesign Cattle Markets Bill will be carried, and insists that the policy of the oppo sition, from beginning to end, is • policy to obstruct legislatica, to prevent parliament from doing anything, to characterise the session as " do-nothing," and to throw upon the executive the disgrace of idleness and in capacity. The illegrapA doubts if election agents will approve of the decision arrived at yesterday in their regard. Avowedly an experiment, should the bill succeed the process the bill involves may be the 121011, easily perfected. The Premier's patience bas done good service; and if a great dread has seised the go-betweens who are ready for any sort of work at election times, the public have all the better reason to be satisfied. THE WEEKLY PRESS. Those who do not profess unlimited confidence in Parliamentary panaceas will not, says the Saturday Boring, be grievonsl7 disappointed it the only effect of the Bribery Bill is to render the detection of that offence somewhat more certain than it was before. To say that the present measure will do much to prevent bribery is to attribute to it a virtue which has never been claimed for it, even by its authors. Stringent affirmations, like those framed by Mr. Bonham Carter and others, would probably be of some service in rendering corrupt practices the object of the moral censure of the house ; but it is no doubt true that affirmations of the sort have usually been un sue:earful wherever they have been tried, and that they are somewhat objectionable in principle. Bribery, however, is an exceptional kind of offence, against which peculiar measures are needed, and in the last resort an appeal to the conscience and honour of mem bers and candidates is not a remedy to be despised. Speaking generally of the Bribery Bat, the London Review says that the House of Commons has shown that it is at last penetrated by a strong HIM of the mischief of corruption, and is sincerely bent upon dis covering and applying the most efficacious remedy that can be found. The proof that they are really in earnest is supplied by the fact of their having consented to part with a jurisdiction over election petitions. As a matter of abstract principle, good COMM might be shown for the maintenance of the present system, but our contemporary believe. that the inconveniences of the new plan will be much more than counterbalanced by the advantages to be gained from referring election petitions to one of her Ma jesty's judges sitting where corruption is alleged to have taken place. Such an investigation will not only be much lees costly, but much more effectual in getting at the truth, than one in London. Mr. Roebuck and his connexion with the liberal party is the subject of an article in the Spectator. Unless certain constituencies are to be expected to sacrifice their political faith altogether in order to offer a private testi monial to a fellow-citisen's audacity—an audacity one great proof of which has been given by obstinately coun termining all the political measures of which they most warmly approve—the Spectator certainly cannot see its way to advising the liberals of Sheffield again to return to Mr. Roebuck. The Eremontist says there are many signs that English capital, discontented with the long continuance of low interest at home, is likely to go abroad in quest of greater interest, and the question is where should it go ? Nothing can be better or more desirable than that capital should go from countries where it is plentiful to countries where it is scarce, if only it goes to such countries as will be honest and repay, and upon such terms as will be re munerative. Referring to the Egyptian and Swedish loans, our contemporary observes that those who wish to lend money should ask what are the characteristics of a credit-deserving state I' Which of them does Sweden want ? Which of them does Egypt possess P Locking at the political aspect of affairs in Spain, the Bateereleby Review says that Spaniards who !eel dishonoured and degraded by the present condition of their country, cannot, after a survey of all possible courses, help turning their eyes in the direction of the Duke and Duchess de Nontpensier. They find in this couple a royal pair of un impeached character, popular manners, and unosten tatious liberal principles. To proclaim the Prime of Asturias king, and the duke and duchess joint regents, would be to make the very slightest break apparently in the present order of the dynastic succession, and yet would in sure moat effectually the introduction of a totally new Policy. Remarking that the attitudl of the Spanish government is that of a man half foolish with fear led he should be i attacked la a dark street, the Spectator Observe, that the etpulsion of the Duke and Duchess de Montpetuder is as set scarcely to be explained on any ordinary theory of politics Its motive mast hate been to get rid of a danger, yet it would meal to *Weider, as V the danger had been tadsibitetts increased by the precaution. it Is natural ibel the court iloski regard any pomade pre ; dual meal dote with ampidan ;-fint why it • • So-tes. the Quante dater se the asoal Maly pm -Modas, or why, if convinced of that fact, sit amid think vid Id bleeds& AM joghiltrity, her freedom of action,. aid tit inedia4l deimmolosiing with tha disoontented s laurel 164• oeitiaidi shoat jairiptiosbic Mmik veisth Is *1 vied of ihirdibisoireo condition of silimin upon the country itself, it la clear th at a country with seventeen millions 44 brava sPecti*,.reeolums Prsc- Willscot bruit, and pith its. roirsPhical situation, bl WlStiq Plir&Vied Ay. ft/ labititt4 l o4 l , & direct and moat ;pm** Ides to the. fiendrel stock of reserved power In i ltsospa. . ,Elte *editor ,tha w isfoighlwast 91 an 0 4 86 4 0 Primo as Xing, or Prkioe Consort; le lips* would be looltert cr Loidit'!rapoleces. am a ploperntorY move ment iforts .

(raox ova one coannsrosmorrd PARTS, Paiaty ETIMPI4. The France, a semi-governmental journal. notices as news to be remarked although the Oa porton*e of it should not be exaggerated, that thl Russian Mediterranean squadron has been orderrl to the Piraeus. This movement (says Sender Guerronniere's paper) seems to be connected with the threat recently made by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg that Russian ships would siva in Greek waters. Nothing was done to ameliorate the situation in Crete. The Emperor will come from Fontainebleau Paris to sleep to-night, and will start to-morro w for Plombitlres. It is thought that he will be in Paris on August 10, to settle with his ministers • the gazette . ) of August 15, which will macaw -the appointment of new senators, prefects, lei legions of knights of the Legion of Honour. M. Horn, the political economist, who has pee' sided, with great ability and discretion, at several public meetings held under the new imperial " liberal" laws, writes to the ileoir N. , tion 4l to complain that the administration, annora by th e success of these meetings, which as yet are °all in their infancy, has invented an impelituret not to be found in the act. M. Pittard we' allow—and small blame to him, for ho cannot help it—a public meeting to be adverti* 4 the newspapers. But it seems that 1 1 wane °minus in the act he has the power prohibiting the announcement by bills poste'l in the street, and he clutches at the exercise of thii power just as if ho thought the Emperor's forma were lamentable eccentricities, neeesnwilf to be tolerated to a certain extent, but to he thwarted and neutralised as much as possible. cannot, with due regard to international courterh adequately express the disgust I feel at thee! wretched dodges, which, unless resolutely checke' by the Emperor, must lead to a catastrophe. l , The news.lately given that Prince H umbert as fair would not visit the court o f Berlin for f of exciting the " susceptibilities " of Vence. wit Court.
