A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, CONTAINING The Latest Foreign Telegrams; the Latest City; Railway, Mining, and other Shares; Sporting. and General Intelligence, 18 PtIBLIBITED EVERY EVENING. LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 11. THE SPEAKER AND THE LADIES GALLERY. Tnit casting vote of the SPEAKER yesterday carried the second reading in the House of Com mons of the Bill introduced by Mr. Su&w LE rants for the Protection of Married Women's Property. The right hon. gentleman's vote was based not upon his own opinions but upon Parlia mentary precedents and form. It was given by less in his character of member for North Nottinghamshire than as an officer of the house entrusted with the charge of its de liberations, and bound to render them as oomph ae and effectual as possible. Thetule laid down and acted upon by preceding SPEAKERS, and followed by the present occupant of the chair, is that when on the second reading of a Bill the division is equal, it is the duty of the SPEAKER, by giving his vote in favour of the emend reading, to afford the House further opportunity for deliberation. The prece dents for this course, reasonable as it is, are not of very long standing. So recently as the time of Anniritrrox, it was the habit of the ElvEmtEn. when the House was in committee, and his presidency was suspended, to resume his privileges of ordinary membership, and to join in the debates and divisions. 011 occasion of a tie, he did not scruple to vote as a politician with his party. The practice of the Irish House of Commons, while Ireland had a House of Commons, was the same. After GaArrAN end FLoon, the patriot party as it was called, the THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1868. party who gave Ireland an. independent Parlia ment, and who vainly resisted the Union, had no more eloquent and energetic obasapion than Mr. Speaker FOSTER. The LORD CEANCELLOR, who is SPEAKER of the House of Lords, still retains and exercises all, and more than ell these rights. He speaks not only'whilo the Peers are in Committee, and the CHAIRMAN presides, but leave. the woolsack to do so, and votes with his party. Perhaps, the fact recorded by Lord CAMPBELL, appropriately enough, in his " Lives of " the Lord Chancellors," that the House of Lords, while the dullest is one of the most disorderly legislative bodies in Europe—disorderly not as being tumultuous, but as doing business in a slip-shod and slovenly manner—may be traced to the non-existence there of the salu tary usages established in the lower House. If Mr. DISRAELI or Mr. GLADSTONE occu pied the chair, while they were ministers of the Crown, their interest in the substance of the debate might prevent their giving due attention to to its forms. Be this as it may, the SPEAKER'S vote yesterday afternoon scarcely deserved the irre gular enthusiasm of the Ladies' Gallery. The rat tling of fans against the bare of the cage, in which those fair visitants to Parliament are shut up, ex premed a sentiment whieh might as reasonably have been bestowed upon the devotion of a Tartar praying machine, The casting vote was, so to speak, automatic. Gratified as Mr. SPEAKER doubtless was •by the approval which was manifested, he must have been conscious in his inmost soul of not having done anything to deserve it. The nods, and becks, and wreathed smiles which hovered above his full-bottomed wig, and descended on the back of his head, were pre sent doubtless to his imagination. Perhaps it is as well that his face was turned the other way ; for the ladies were undoubtedly guilty of a broach of order, and it might have been his painful duty to commit the company of fair women to the gallant custody of Lord CHARLES Rusexxx. The announce ment by the SPEAKER of his casting vote was not the only occasion of an ebullition of feminine feeling. Some very distinct hisses rewarded Mr. assertion of the rights of husbands to appropriate and waste their wives' property. It is only fair to the ladies to say that they have not been singular in these very undesirable breaches of order. Sounds as irregular have been heard from the opposite ends of the house, where "strangers" confront the " persons" of the coming Mru-ennium. Mr. Lows, Mr. COLERIDGE, and Mr. Gi.kterroNe have on different occasions been greeted with masculine clapping of hands, which the fussy activity of the messengers has not been able to repress. The measure which fluttered the dove-cote be hind the Beware's chair was a very natural sub ject of interest. The merits of the case are clear ; and the House of Commons though equally divided in point of numbers was by no means equally divided as regards weight of opinion. Against the authority of Mr. Lowe and Mr. Mar, who were present and spoke in favour of what is an act of simple justice; of Mr. Resasr.r, Hue- NET, whose name is on the back of the Bill ; and of Sir Jose Beane:nem and Lord STAN LEY, who were members of the Social Science Committee in which it originated, are to be set the names of those legal Dioscuri, the brothers HARSLAYE, the abler of them being one of those law officers on whom Mr. OSBORNE condoled with Mr. Marceau, and the less able being the Member for Colchester, on whom we may condole with the House; and the wit and statesmanship of that truly English squire and thoroughly Irish peer of the good old school, Viscount GALWAY. The details of Mr. Lasavez's Bill may require amendment, and will doubtless receive it from the Select Committee to which it has been referred ; but tho principle of it is sound. Its object is to deprive profligate and idle husbands of the power of squandering the earnings and dissipating the property of their wives. The iniquity of the com mon law is proved by the evasions of it which the Courts of Equity have created and sanctioned. In the case of the rich, acts of settlement partly mitigate i a hardship. But they afford a remedy too cum brous, indirect, and expensive for the poor. The spoliation to which women in the lower ranks of life are exposed can be met only by giving them exclusive rights over their own property. With legal ownership, legal responsibility must be ad mitted. But women will not be the worse for ac quiring a sense of responsibility. We need not go with Mr. JACOB BRIGHT, to France, to find proofs of their busineea capacity. In every county of England, while the lees edu cated class of farmers look after the out-door work, their wives habitually pay the labourers and keep the accounts. Mr. Larravax's Bill is met by the arguments of the hareem and the wigwam, aooording to which women are to be the toys of the rich and the drudges of the poor. The legal conservatism of Mr. KARSLAKE, which finds in bad usages the justification for continuing them, and which is as destitute of the philosophy of law as of the sense of justice, de serve only the contempt which Mr. Lowe poured upon it. " The question," as he justly said, " is not whether the law can be traced up to a long " succession of ages in the most barbarous times "of which history gives us any account, and " whether it has been confirmed and consolidated " and built up into an edifice. The question is, "on what is it founded ? Is it founded on justice " and righteousness, equality and fairneas, or is it " founded on injustice, tyranny, and oppression ?" To these questions only one answer can be given. It may be long in coming, but in spite of Mr. KtiesLeax and Lord GALWAY it is certain. cause of individual liberty gains by the contest. Powerful and eompactly-framod mole 'babel corporations such as tie Prosisybeisaiforin of Clkurch government facilitates aro sadly apt to suppress individuality of opinion. We find our contemporary be an amusing sketch of the late Assemblies venturing upon a pretest against tho monopoly established by those whom it terms the " Assembly Fathers." This paternal element, it seems, is too strong, and promising " brethren" am wet-blanketed, not to say smothered, by it. " There is no question," says the oritio, " that " these grave and reverent seigniors are evincing a " growing disposition to engross the speaking part "of the business of the Assemblies, and to do so "in a somewhat ex cathedra manner. Good old "Dr. Writs, of Carluke, made a spirited remon " stream on this point in last General Assembly, " but the knot of big-wigs around the table seemed " this year still to monopolise considerably more " than a fair share both of the direction and the " talking. The fact that a man has been a mode " rater, and is a divinity professor or a metropo " litan clergyman, doe* not necessarily stamp him " with the seal of exclusively superior wisdom." This is a bard saying, and we admire the courage of the Scot who utters it. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. 'cram DAyj FAIILLIMILMTAZY 111711171111111. The Times 1. pretty much of Ms. 4:Mildetone's opinion that the subject of the government mtmagement of telegraphs is not sufficiently advanced ter legisla tion, and such a view of the case is fatal to the pro posal as now actually made. The Government Tele graphs Bill, in►tead of being • measure with only one side to it, is a measure in which everybody recognises very debateable points. Instead of being unopposed, it was almost unsupported, except by ministers themselves. Instead of comprising a self-evident proposition, it opens a very doubtful controversy. The Daily 11 - efre represents Mr. Disraeli as having in troduced a new principle into our parliamentary system, viz., that of government by hazard. His treatment of the Boundaries Bill is • case in point. With regard to the expediting of the registrations, the House might easily enmigh an ange that the registers, without the smalls= undue haste or inconvenience, should be completed finally, appeals and all, early in October, so that the elections might take place before November, with its short and rainy days, is fairly upon us. Two months of distraction to the country, and a whole year for usaful legislation, could thus be saved. But to do it the House of Commons must take the matter into its own hands. It must resolutely pass an effective registration bill through all its Magee, in a week or two, as that all parties may know their work. Then it must settle the boundary bill with equal decision, so that sU parties may know their rights. In the opinion of the Post there never was a case in which the arguments were so entirely and exclumvely on one side as in that of the Revenue Officers and Disabili ties Removal Bill. Among all the citizens of the country it would be difficult, if not impassible, to find any clam who give so many secaritim for their fitness to exercise the franchise as these. They are already in positions of trust and responsibility ; they are accustomed to exercise their minds upon nice points of distinction; and their intelli gence is proved in the manner which is now considered most conclusive, by the fact of their having all paired through the ordeal of competitive examination. The Standard argues that the right of the peers to give their judgment upon the Irish church gumption is as free and independent as that of the House of Commons itself, and the majority of one chamber is as much entitled to have its vote respected as the majority of the other. There can be very little doubt as to what that judgment will be, and we are persuaded that the country will insist that in spite of liberal clamour it shall be treated with proper deference. The Star, while heartily approving of the Married Women's Property Bill in its principle, thinks it quite possible that some practical emendations may be intro. duced in some of tht clause♦-for example, in the clause referring to the legal settlement of questions between hus band and wife as to um or ownership of personal property; and also in that which proposes to relieve a husband in all cases, even apparently where the wife has no property, or has conferred her property on him, from being liable in damages for any wrong committed by her. In oases, for instance, which are likely to be common enough, where a woman hands over absolutely her fortune to her hus band and he invests it in some business or speculation in hie own name, does it seem reasonable to froo him from responsibility for damage done by the wife, who has no longer any property of her own to meet the responsi bility le The Herald does not believe that domestic happiness would be promoted by giving every wife a distinct interest in her money, or that aught would come of attempts to enforce it but constant bickering' at home and frequent misunderstandings with outsiders. the Court.

CHURCV MATTERS 1 - N SCOTLAND. Tax London fieolima; has a good deal of information on Church matters in Scotland on the occasion of the general assemblies of the Free and the Established Churches, and the meet ings of the synod of the United Presbyterian Church, just held at Edinburgh. The attempt to amalgamate various bodies which split off from the Church on the ground of patronage, and which in doctrine and discipline are substantially agreed, makes but slow progress. The writer confesses his despair of getting English readers to comprehend the minute differences encountered by the joint committee who have for some years been endea vouring to eliminate the points of discord. The anti-unionists in the Free Church, though they do not receive a penny of State aid, and have no hope of ever doing so, maintain it to be the duty of the ruler to support them, and insist upon it that this must be. held by all whowould unite with them in the same Church. On the other hand, the anti-unionists among the United Presbyterians contend that it would he apostasy from their voluntary principles to give Elks right hand of fellowship to any who cl:d not concur with them in the exclusion of Creaar in any other capacity than that of a sub ject. Our contemporary is consoled by the thought that, whatever may be the opinion of the ground taken up by the combatants, the THE MEMBERS FOB WESTMINSTER. As the recent action of the Jamaica Committee has been made a plea for circulating a variety of reports concerning Mr. J. S. MILL and the seat for Westminster, it is satisfactory to find that the committee for ensuring the re-election of the sitting members is as influential and far-reaching as when the Hon. Captain GROSVENOR and Mr. MILL, were triumphantly returned. That the Litter's action in the House of Commons had been too pronounced for the Liberal party, and alienated its leading members ; that philosophers were proved to be too crotahetty for political work ; and, lastly, that Ex-Governor Ems, backed by the purse of the Carlton Club, will appear on the Westminster hustings to put the final stroke to the demolition of Mr. MILL, have been rumours industriously circulated by the opposition camp. Whether or no Mr. EYRE'S friends intend to bring him forward as a candidate for Westminster at the next election we have no means of judging ; but such a course would be far more serviceable to Mr. MILL than if Mr. W. H. SMITH were to oppose him again. The latter is on old grounds an infinitely more dangerous opponent than the alleged nominee of the Carlton, and if there is to be a contest at all, we can only hope Mr. EYRE will be the Tory candidate selected to go to the poll. The statements affecting the character of the support which will be given to Mr. MILL are best met by a few quota tions from the list of his and Captain GROSVENOR'S committee. The first on the list is that of the leader of the Liberal party, Mr. W. E. GrAnsrotra, and it is followed by names of which CaRDIFICLL, BRAND, Haaninproir, Macular, BOUTERSE, Lord jolts HAY, and Earl GROSVENOR are representative types. Nor is it alone, what may be termed the official section of Liberalism which is pledged to Captain GROSVENOR and Mr. Max. Mr. ARTHUR KINNAIRD is a member of the committee and treasurer of its funds ; while, to pick names almost at random out of the hundreds which form the committee, Pro fessor FaweErr, Captain Hairrrat, Mr. Coifs- BILGE, Mr. Lin - zoom Clowsit, Mr. Fairs HILL, Lord ALFRED Cutritemax, Professor CADINFJ3, the Hon. LYtILPH STANLEY, Mr. Serjeant PABST, Mr. HUTH, Professor HUXLEY, Colonel PAGET, Mr. J. R. McCirn, Sir HARRY VETINEY, Mr. HERMIT SPENCER, General &num, and Mr. LESLIE STEPHEN show that the people pledged to the Liberal candidates repro of nt very different realms of Politics, Society, Literature, and Science. Indeed, the Westminster Liberal committee is a representative one in the best sense of the word ; and in the face of it Mr. Ifirm's friends can afford to smile at the ingenious threats of his opponents. EVICHTBODIr who travels by railroad—and who does not ?—must be struck by the vast wilderness of waste land that stretches upon both sides of the line. In some places the soil of these em bankments is poor enough, in others it is rich and fertile, but in ether case it is untended save in a few instances all the more noticeable for their rarity. There is little question that a large proportion of this soil might be turned to good account, if it were let to tenants at a moderate rental, while the companies could readily guard themselves against any possible inconvenience resulting from the tillage of their embankments. How to use these banks to the best advantage is not for us to decide, but it is obvious that many of the moat serviceable fruit* and roots—etrawberries and po tatoes for example—might be cultivated upon them, or the trial might be made, as it has been successfully made in France, of planting pear trees or other hardy standards where the soil is suitable. Experiments such as these would be chiefly undertaken in rural or semi-rural districts. In the suburbs of alljour large cities, on She contrary, where in so many instancee the gardens of well-to do citizens terminate at the railway, why should not the unsightly embankment be covered with trees, or shrubs, according to the fancy of the residents ? We venture to say that if the land were apportioned off in this manner, at a nominal rental, there are hundreds of gentlemen who would gladly be at the expense of planting. Indeed, there could be no prettier addition to the suburban garden than a few clumps of spruce or P,ootch Ara, sloping down from a terrace walk. In this way an unsightly object would, at a trifling cost, be converted into a thing of beauty. The neglect of railway gardening is passing strange in a country where land is so precious. IT is a' a`ed, in the Continental press, that the POPE will invite the Bishops of the " schismatic " Greek and Protestant churches to thefacumeuical Council of December, 1869. From this doubtful story it is inferred that the subject of the marriage of the clergy will be dis cussed. The inference is scarcely warranted by the premises. But if the point should be con sidered, and a decision given in favour of the prin ciple of celibacy, it would be desirable to know whether the " schismatic" Bishops attending will Consent to a repeal of the married union.

The Times again draws attention to the mal-administra. fon of the navy. It is a fatal error, which some day will cost us all we hold most dear, to intrust to aged admirals the direction of our great national workshops and the final decision upon the problenis of practical science which the designing, the plating, and the equipment of the Beet of the future necessarily in these latter days involve. With regard both to our ships and our dockyards, the naval history of England during the last 18 years has been one long tale of unreadiness, and ft is the same now. The admirals selected for the experi mental trial of the bonclads report them so unsteady that a locale force of turret ships would fire against them six shots for every one, while they in a seaway could not hope to hit their target "except by accident or miracle." But the board have adhered to the old broadside form, in the teeth of warning and experience, and now, two years after the truth has become patent to all the world, they discover "that the rolling and pitching of Alps is in volved in obscurity," and have issued a memorandum calling upon officers to register anew the °bemire pheno mena.
