EXPRESS, CONTAINING The Latest Foreign Telegrams ; the Latest City ; Railway, Mining, and other Shares; Sporting, and General Intelligence, 18 PUBLISHED EVERY EVENING. LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 31. MR. J. STUART MILL AS POLITICIAN. WE may perhaps doubt the accuracy of the reporters when they make the author of the essay " On Liberty" ask the people at St. James's Hall whether they " intended to have a stricter govern " meat, with en improvement in its administra " tion"—at least, we may be certain that no such suggestion or question would be allowed by Mr. Mat to stand alone. But in a sentence or two towards the close of his speech we un hesitatingly recognise the man who wrote the " Considerations on Repreeentative Government :" —" The men who were sent to the next Perlis " ment must carry something more than mere " money bags and piniyas. Nor must their /sands " be tied up, for the pubik repaired So be repro " tented by men tyke mild Sell them tan' lOW So be done, not they Ones." This might almost be called a brief summary of Chapter XIL of that very moderate and carefully-expressed tee the. Among the eonelusiona arrived at in Chapter XII. are these :—" That in proportion •' to the opinion the electors entertain of the mental " superiority of a eandidste they ought to put " up with his expressing and acting on opinions " different from theirs on en►y number of things nal " included in their fhaidaniental articles of " belief : That they ought to be unremitting "in their search for a representative of such " calibre as to be [flt to be 7] entrusted with full " power of obeying the dictates of his own judg " meat ; that they should consider it a duty which they owe to their fellow-countrymen to do their " utmost towards placing mem of this quality in the " legislature; and that it is of much greater import ' ante to themselves to be represented by such a man " than by one who professes agreement in a greater " number of their opinions ; for tho benefits of his " ability are certain, while the hypothesis "of his being wrong and their being ." right on the points of difference is a very doubtful one." Without a shade of srony, we commend this to the gentlemen who, as we understand, decline this time to support bfiu, on account of the part he took in the THE EXPRESS, Jamaica committee. &nee Mr. Mrtz. entered the Route of Commons he he not given a vote, or made a speech, or taken a public etsp of any kind whatever, which was not in harmony with the expectations of attentive students of his writings. In the case of a man whose words and deeds can be thus, so to speak, pigeon-holed or referred at once to the logic of his avowed principles, we may say with emphasis, in the very words just quoted, " the benefits of his ability " are certain." It is no exaggeration to oonolude that what may be called the regimen of political opinion is bettered, not only in the House of Commons itself, but all over England and all over Europe, by the mere presenoe of a man like Mr. MILL in the representative assembly. To every criticism made upon his conduct or his words, he might answer, with Aexerorrirr, " Read my book !" Of the grossly ignorant use to which his writings were put in at tacks by men who had not read them Mr. him. showed, more than once during the session, a slightly contemptuous appreciation. Perhaps the most amusing instanoe was that of the member who, after misquoting Mr. TIIINNYSON, went on to express his admiration of " those very profound " and learned works which the hon. member " for Westminster bad written" on the question of votes for women. We imagine it would puzzle Mr. Mural, or the London Library in St. James's square, to supply these " works." MOND lbsta avoid to quite as much annoyance as the most ardent lovers of the weed. Carriages reeking of stale tobacco ; fellow passengers bent on smoking and exercising no small degree of moral terrorism over anyone daring to object ; and a constant chaos between illness and unpopularity, have been the experiences of the hapless non smokers. It is as well to insist now that the line of demarcation between the two sets of passengers shall be strictly observed, and that condign punishment shall follow upon smoking in other compartments than those as signed to it. In certain lines the huge smoking carriages used appear to drive many smokers into the other parts of the train. The smoking saloon is too big, and holds too much tobacco-smoke at one time for any bet the most case-hardened con sumer. The non-smokers suffer accordingly, and are invaded on and enubbed as if they were an inferior race. The is not the case where an ordinary compartment in each carriage is set aside for smoking. On the South-Western, for example, where this concession has been made during the present year, the men who smoke never intrude upon the passengers who don't, and both sets are satisfied. If therailway companies are wise they will not inaugurate huge smoking saloons such as are in use on some of the Eastern lime, but will simply reoogniae smoking in certain portions of their present " plant." Above all they must insist now upon their bye-laws being carried out. Rigorous and certain punishment should follow their violation. Smokers have ob tained the reasonable privilege they asked for; and non-smokers must be protected in their turn. LETTER WRITING IN SCHOOLS. It:am-roes of schools are sometintes accused of planing down individual opinions and even peou liaritiee of style and expression, in preparing their reports for the eye of the Committee of Council. There is supposed to bo some particular stand ard to which all are expected to conform. Mr. MATTHNW ARNOLD, at any rate, makes no such attempt. His general re port, as her Illantere's inspector, on the Normal schools of the British and Foreign School Society, which is just printed in a blue book, reads much like a paper in the Corithill on Philistinism. Thus at one page he says :—" In this country, " where little importance is attached to the science " of public administration, a public department is " apt first to attempt to exercise .critical function " with insufficient means, and then, when the re " suit appears unsatisfactory, hastily to re " treat altogether from exercising it. The better " way, perhaps, would be to exercise it properly." This to the Education Department is refreshing. There is then a reference to the example of Ger many, and a contrast is instituted between the plan there of confiding school literature to " ex " perts of recognised expertness," and the English practice of either exercising this control with imperfect instruments, or abandoning it altogether, and suffering private spe culation to have unchecked play. But the middle classes and Mr. Bavairr must somehow be brought in. This is managed by congratulatory sentences, in the first place, on the advantages which the instruction of oar primary schools has derived from the public character which, in the last 30 years, it has received, causing those schools to compare so favourably " with," adds Mr. ARNOLD, " the private " adventure schools of the middle class, " that class which Mr. BRIGHT says is per " fectly competent to manage its own schools and " education. The work in one is appraised by " impartial educated persons; in the other by the " common run of middle-class parents." To show the difference in the result, Mr. ARNOLD places in juxtaposition a letter written in school by an ordi nary scholar in a public elementary school in his district, a girl of 11 years old, with one written by a boy in a private middle-class school, and fur nished to one of the Assistant Commissioners of the Schools Inquiry Commission. The girl's letter is given first : Dui Fs r, - 1 am afraid I shall not pass my examine nos ; Miss 02- says she thinks I shall. I shall be glad whoa the Serpentine is frozen over, for we shall have such fun ; I wish you did not Live so far away, then you could sense and share is the game- Father cannot spare Willie, so I have as much as I can do to teach him to cipher mealy. lam now sitting by the school fire, so I aware you lam very warm.

Winter is coming ; don't it make you shiver to think off Shall you QM Coma to smoky old London again P It is not so bed, after all, with its bustle, and business, and noise, If you see Ellen T-- will you kindly get her address for me f I must now conclude, as lam soon going to my reading class ; so good bye.—From your affectionate friend, And now for the boy's : _ _ My imam PARENTS.—Tie anticipation of our Christmas vacation abounds in peculiar delights. Not only that its " festivities," its social gatherings, and its lively amuse menta crown the old year with happiness and mirth, but that I come a guest commended to your hospitable love by the performance of all you bade me remember when I left you in the glad season of sun and flowers. And time has sped fleetly since reluctant my departing step crossed the threshold of that home whose indulgencies and endearments their temporary lose has taught me to value more and more. Yet that restraint is salutary, and that self-reliance is as easily learnt as it is laudable, the propriety of my conduct and the readiness of my services shall ere long aptly illustrate. It is with confidence I promise that the close of every year shall find me advancing in your regard by constantly observing the precepts of my excellent tutors and the example of my excellent parents. We break up on Thursday the 11th of December instant, and my impatience of the short delay will assure my dear parents of the filial sentiments of, theirs very sincerely, N—. PM.—We shall reassemble on the 19th of January. Yr. and Yrs. P. present their respectful compliments. To those who ask, Mr. ARNOLD remarks, and with the words be concludes his report, what is the difference between a public school and a private school Y " I answer, ff w Phis." It is inch an agreeable surprise to come upon the above in the midst of ► blue-book of dose upon 1,000 pages, tkat we do not care for the moment to dis pute its leirnees as a conclusive illustration. SMOKING 111 RAILWAY CAARLAGRS. TRIM vexed gneetion is lamely to be put on a props, footing at last. Henceforth, unless Deli berated repents of its decision on Saturday, repine Brooking compartments will be attached to every train in which then is more than one carriage of each class, and whether the peonage, bold • first, second, or third lase ticket he will be able to smoke to his heart's content without annoyance to others or to himself. It is wonderful that the simple remedy for an outrageous nuisance provided by the clause passed by the House of Com mons on Saturday should not have been insisted on before. The railway regulations against smoking have been notoriously and ridi culously inoperative. The " two things not allowed "on this line, smoking and giving money to the " company's servants," of Lzzete s sketch appealed to a universal experience, and as a matter of fact smoking has been carried on with impunity on every line in the kingdom. Now that the con sumers of tobacco have got their way, it may not be amiss to point out that men who don't smoke, and ladies who can't, have FIELD FIRES. Tun common practice of carelessly throwing away, without extinguishing, the match or fusee with which a pipe or cigar has been lighted, will frequently lead to serious consequences should the present hot dry weather continue. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the grass in several large fields near Whetstone, between the Colney Hatch and Barnet stations of the Great Northern Rail way, was entirely consumed by fire. In ordinary summers a grass-fire does not spread to any considerable extent, but in the present season such conflagrations are only re stricted by incombustible barriers. Even hedges are just now so sapless as to feed rather than stay the flame, two such fences being insufficient at Whetstone to prevent three consecutive fields falling a prey. A broad road recently made by a building society prevented extension of the fire in one case, and prompt removal of a portion of a hedge in another. Had not these fires been thus extinguished, they would soon have sur rounded some valuable hayricks. Yields which have been on fire present a peculiar appearance, the grass not being burnt to a grey or red ash, but only to charcoal. The body of fire at any One spot would seem to be insufficient to favour thorough combustion—the siliceoue coating of the stems of grass possibly also preventing that free access of air necessary for the complete burning of the charred material. To see every trace of green in his fields replaced by brown was enough before to produce concern in the mind of the farmer; to prevent the brown being turned into black will now demand his utmost vigilance. Farm labourers, loiterers, and persons using footpaths should observe extreme care in igniting or extinguishing their pipes or cigars, and railway companies may be expected to adopt every reasonable precaution likely to prevent burning coals escaping from the furnaces of their engines. An official programme of her M•raerr's journey through France appears in the Paris journals. According to this the QUI= will arrive in Cher bourg on the evening of August 6, and will leave immediately for Paris, which she will reach at six o'clock in the morning. She will spend that day in seeing Paris, and will be privately received by the Empress. At half-past 7 • special train will convey her IdAnurrY and suite to Geneva. The most complete incognito will be observed. No apparent preparation will be made at the railway stations, and no official authority or depu tation will be admitted to the presence of the illustrious traveller. Cite etrurt. MORITA Joie 26.

It is better to have • man who will my " ditto to Mr. Gladstone" than • man will merely oostrediot and thwart him. It I. better still to have men who, while seconding him earnestly, will give strength of their own to the development of sound principles and their embodiment in • wise policy. TIM 11W 11109LATIONT £1 TO OASTLI. The Ames reminds the public of the positioa in which they are left by the unfortunate failure of the above bill. An order in council, published in Saturday's Ger-sne, relaxes the most grievous of the late restraints, but they are still mulliciently onerous. In consequence, no doubt, of the failure of this bill, the Privy Council have, under certain conditions, relaxed the rule which prevented cattle leaving London alive. Those conditions, however, are still stringent. No cattle can be thus removed without a special license. To obtain this license the owner mast apply to the local authority, proving that he baa possessed the animal eight weeks, and stating all particulars of the destination of the cattle. The local authority will then order an inipector to pay an immediate visit to the animal, and another visit at the end of a month ; and if at the latter visit he certifies the animal to be free from infection, the local authority may give a license for its removal within three days. Another order permits animals to be trans ferred from the northern to the southern railways by means of the cross lines, on condition that during the time they are within the metropolis they are not allowed to leave the trucks or waggons in which they arrive. If they pat foot to the ground they are liable to be treated like other cattle, and will not be allowed to leave London alive. Another order extends the number of days during which licensee are available ; while a fourth order admits cattle from Spain, Portugal, Normandy, or Brittany to any part on the southern or western coasts, and when landed, after due inspection, allows them to be treated as no longer foreign cattle. An animal can be moved out of the district, it is true, but not until after several formali ties, and after waiting four or Ave weeks. Other regula tion remain unaltered, as, for instance, that cattle shall not be removed more than 600 yards in a metropolitan thoroughfare without a license. Consequently no animal can enter the Islington Market without a license, and none an leave it without another license. Foreign cattle, after due inspection, must either be slaughtered at the place of disembarkation or taken by railway to London, and when there be kept in licensed lairs, The Poet ia pained to say that bad as the affair at Wind sor waa, the Wimbledon »Titer is almost worse, for at Windsor the oocnrrmoee were at keel unpremeditated, but in respect of the Wimbledon re►iew there was the de: bberste exhibition of • spbit so very objectionable that if it is much further indulged it will go bur to most Kiri otudy affect the stability and progress of themovement. One thing is quite certain, that if the country is to regard the volunteers as • reliable military disciplined body, we must have neither overt acts of insubordination as at Windsor, nos barely smothered feelings of discontent se at Wimbledon. The 11820IIilli of the force have always said that it would be found wanting in discipline and cohesion, and it mast be confessed that the voluateme have now given them some cause to justify their ootackt gos. Reviewing the career of these establishments, the Daily Pew Nays that, under all eireamstances, they may fairly be considered to have fully held their ground, if not to hare made any great advance, notwithstanding the crisis which clammed two yean ago, and which has exercised such an important inhumes in checking financial enterprise. It le, indeed, not a little creditable to the joint stock banks —and for that mattes to the private banker*, as well as can be judged—that they are able to give se satisfactory an amount of their affairs as they have done. Been the most captious of shareholders has made no complaint, not. withstanding the ordinarily irresistible provocation of a reduced dividend. The womb el an of the principal banks in London, yin, the London and Westminster, Union, London Joint Stock, Alharice, aty, and Imperial, show the delkitiney for the present ball-year to be 2,480,1711. Taking, how ever, the proportion of the cash and government securities held against the engagements of web bank, it appears there has been an increase of ova 1,800,0001. in favour of 1868, the per-centage of capital to liabilities being 28k. The dividends have necessarily been diminished by the cheep value of money. With one exception there has been a decline, the ex ception being the Alliance, which remained the same, via., three per cent. per annum. However, a slight ebb in the tide of prosperity does tittle, if any, harm, because it often leads to increased can and caution. THE CIZDT7 702,0121:1L The proceedings at the meeting of the shareholders of the Credit Foncier have not tended to increase the confidence of the Daily Nam is the manner in which shareholders manage their property. It is to be regretted that the proposal made by one of the shareholders for the appointment of • committee of inquiry was ruled by the chairman to be out of order, and that it could not therefore be put to the meet ing. and it is equally to be regretted that the late chairman should have allowed a verdict to go against him by default of appearance, instead of attending to give explanation' to the shareholders on the points which were specially animadverted on as affecting his past manage ment of the undertaking. Assuming the statements made at the meeting to be correct, it would appear to be only reasonable and just that the directors shoultirecoup to the company the money received by them.

Emile 011i vier'e advice, and determined to try oonclusiolui with the government in a oourt of law as to his liability to print the oppressively long communiqu.f which M. Pinard has perrereely served him with. This determination is not announced in the new number of the Lantern, which merely says the sub ject is under consideration, but in a letter to the papers. The law gives a private individual the right to insist upon the insertion of a reply to any article in which his name may be mentioned of not more than double the length of the article itself. No limit is laid down as to the length of a govern ment 00171111tatiqUe ; but M. Rochefort submits that the courts must find one unless they would con demn the law itself as against reason and impossible of execution. His little red-covered weekly publication contains 60 pages. The Minis ter of the Interior thinks it a good joke to ask him to insert a communiqué which would fill 45 of those pages. That is simply confiscation. The communiqué consists of a full report from the Moniker of a debate in the Senate upon a petition complaining of M. Sandon's confinement in a madhouse. If M. Rochefort is bound to sub mit to this he sees no reason why next Saturday the minister should not send him the " Memorial de Sainte Helene," in six volumes, by way of a communique in answer to three lines about Napoleon I. That might be followed the week after by the " History of the Consulate and the Empire," in twenty-two volumes. M. Rochefort calculates that in Stamps, paper, printing, 4te., it would cost him 7,000 franca to publish M. Pinard's communiqué. Ho naturally prefers running the risk of incurring the maximum fine of I,ooofr. for refusing the insertion; and it is the minister's fault that, by a reductio ad absurdum, it is shown to be seven times more profitable to set at de fiance an imperial law than to obey it. X. Blaze de Bury, the author of a lyric drama called La Jeunesse de Goethe, some years since en trusted his manuscript to the illustrious Meyer beer, who undertook to compose music with a view to bring the piece out as an opera at some theatre to be subsequently agreed upon. Meyerbeer set to work accordingly, and it is alleged that he quite finished the score shortly before his death. M. Blase de Bury has now brought an action against the executors, claiming to have the manuscript and score delivered up to him. The defendants rely upon the following chime) in Meyerbeer'a will : It is my express desire that within a few days of the opening of this my will, the sheets marked "Poulos di tachim—Sketchim and unfinished pieces by Ifeyerbier," be separated from the rest of my papers by my wife and executor and put into a special box carefully sealed. If any one of my grandchildren should some day have a vocation for music, these sheets containing my " musical thoughts" are to be given to him. I make the like order in regard to my non-published compositions at the time of my decease. The case was called on on Friday, but put off for a week. M. Leberquier is counsel for M. Blase de Bury, and M. Crkmieui, an intimate friend and co-religionist of Meyer beer, for the executors. Of course, if M. de Bury can make out a contract, the will cannot revoke it. Bet should it turn out, contrary to the plaintiff's allegation, that the score was left " un finished," there is a good deal of authority for holding that an artist's reputation is not to be endangered by a composition to which he had not put the last touches being made public. It was, I think, decided in England a long time ago that the executors of a painter cannot be compelled to deliver en unfinished portrait.

He was made a king's cotuu. in 1832, and entered the Reformed Parliameut the sew. pr., as member for Penryn and Falmouth. He became Solicitor.

IV4ITKII, - - - In a speech recently delivered by Lord Bede. dale in the House of Lords, on the subject of the Saint Eastern Railway Bill, his lordship said : " He believed that the main object for which it wsi desired to make that separation was a jobbing Mijeet ••• and spin :—•• the object of these divisions being toll)* the deferred stock to jobbing purposes, unfou n d e d state ments being circulated as to the dividends for upon it." The publication of this statement has led to a core.*. pondence between Lord Bede stale and Mr. Watkin (pub lished in the Times this morning), in which Mr. Wands begs to inquire upon what authority or evidence his lord. ship ventured to make such charges against the promoter. of the bill. The first reply of the noble lord is a reitem tion of the opinion previously expressed, and the grounds upon which it is based. Ties answer, however, failed to satisfy Mr. Watkin, who to his questions, and requests to have " a distinct answer forthwith." But reiteration was again the sub stance of the reply, with the farther admission that then might be proprietors who had other objects in view than those which his lordship denounced ; but, he adds, "You are perfectly at liberty to publish this corm/Ton. dance, and the public will judge whether I have funned an erroneous conclusion or not." Yr. Watkin replied on the same day with an angry let ter , in which he said: "You have now, in effect., admitted that, without evi- L deuce or authority of any kind, yen have seen sit in your place in the House of Lords, where privilege protects you, to invent a false and scandalous charge against a body of gentlemen aa innocent as they are incapable of the dishonour you have attributed to them." Mr. Watkin is content with the opinion of such Satin gniahed men as the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of hick. mond, and Lord Salisbury, who, ha says, " aro quite ae able to form a mind opinion" as Lord Redeedale; and Mr. Watkin concludes by declaring that at the next pro prietary meeting he will "publicly stigmatise" his lord ship's conduct "aa it deserves." Lord Redesdale puts Lord Romilly's judgment against that of the noble Lords to whom Yr. Watkin refers, and is "of the sumo opinion still," without presuming to say that be is right. As, however, the threat has been made publicly to stigma tise hi. conduct, Lord liedeadale intimates in the sixth letter written on one day (23rd inert.) that he will publish the correspondence. But Ms. Watkin seems to have been rather impatient. The correspondence dal not appear in print on the following morning, so tits hon. gentlemia took occasion to rewind hie lordship that: " Yon have the opportunity now of repeating your chugs in the public papers, and thus enabling those you have attacked to put you on your proof before the tribunals of OM country, and apologising further opportunity of re tracting and for accusations which I feel you must be ea era utterly without founda tion. I invite you to take either the one course or the other without further delay." Hie lordship, however, Lemma to take either the one course or the other." He declares that the opinion he gave waa expressed in the performance of a public duty, that he made no specific attack on Mr. Watkin or any one, and that he preferred no zonation which he can retrat or for which he can apologise. QUEZZY .1101E8 BOUNTY. In distributing the prizes at the Leamington College on Saturday, Lord Clarendon held that there never was a time when education was more a matter of national importance than at present. It was essential to the lower classes in order that they might obtain learning more rapidly than they had hitherto done, while for the upper classes knowledge was more than ever needed, so that they might retain the influence of mind over mind, which was the only power that could henceforth be safely trusted and willingly respected.
