A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, OONTAINING The Latest Foreign Telegrams ; the Latest City ; Railway, Mining, and other Shares ; Sporting, and General Intelligence, EVERY EVENING. LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 15. THE TREATMENT OF CHILDMIN. Ir wee one of the few scarcely sane suggestions of one of the sanest of men, RUM, that for specially revolting crimes there should be specially terrible punishments. When it comes to killing you are stopped short. You execute the man who stabs his enemy : you can do no more to the man who poisons his mother or his wife. Perhaps, he proceeds to say, we might throw the very bad malefactors to wild beasts, or something of that kind ; it would be terrible to the criminal, and terrible to the popular imagination. It certainly would. but, unfortunately, the " lions in the " Tower" are no longer a royal property, and we do not believe the Zoological Society would con tract. There is, however, another objection. In spite of a strong current of reaction towards severity in punishment, the general set of the stream is the other way. Yet few of us can hear of cruelty to children (among many particularly revolting offences) without a vague wish that some spe cially severe punishment could be brought to bear upon the criminals. If we analyse this feeling, we find that. at all events in disciplined minds, it amounts to a desire to impart into the punishment a more than usual share of expressed indignation. We cannot fail to note how fierce is the angry disgust which the crime inspires ; for it is constantly the case that the cri minals are hi danger from the violence of the crowd. This is something, but it is not much. There is, of course, the Association for Enforcing the Laws relating to Women and Children, and of all associations of the kind it is perhaps the least questionable. But does not the very fact that ,tub an institution should be necessary, or pre sumed necessary, point to a defect, or to more than one defect, in the laws relating to women and children Mr. Mrii., in his essay "On Liberty," instances the unchecked license we allow to parents in their treatment of the young as one of the proofs that our notions of liberty are yet in a very crude state. We know the extreme difficulty of the subject. A recent extension of the Facto ries Act, applying to children, is well known to have proved a failure. You shall not send your children to work, says the law, unless you also 'mend them to school. 'Very good, say the manufacturers, we do not care to be plagued with looking after the subject; it will ac tually pay us better to have older children. And very good again, say the parents, we shall not send our children out to work, we shall keep theta at home and set them to work in private ; and they do it. And all the " inspection " does not meet the difficulty ; because evasion and concealment are so easy. Mr. Mu., though he has expressed strong opinions, has not made, we believe, a single specific suggestion for greater stringency, or greater workableness, or even greater specialisation of the laws relating to children. But the subject is worthy of him, and, perhaps, in connection with that of national education, he may before long have something to say about it. The Rev. A. SOLLY, at the Society of Arts, not long ago, proposed to revive the law of frank-pledge. That would meet this difficulty, and save others ; but—not to speak profanely—we wish Mr. Roux may get it ; and we are sure the remedy would be worse than the disease. For the present, one sees no way of preventing the occasional ill-treatment and starvation of children by parenta who are bad enough, and scarcely any adequate available pun isLmeut for the offence. THE IRA NOHISE FOR WOMEN. UNTIL the female franchise question is definitely settled by the Court of Common Pleas the public is likely to hear a good deal about the political claims of women. Several of the revising barristers had the subject brought prominently before thorn yes terday. At Westminster, Mr. NASMAU J. Soma " was clearly of opinion that the word ' man' in " the Reform Act must be taken to mean male " person, and that females wore not entitled to the THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVE " vote" ; and on this ground expumpil the name of Mrs HANNAH HAINBSIDOI from the list of voters—at the same time granting $ rase for a zuperior court. At Lambeth, Mr. PHILIP La DENTON. on the name Of MARY TIIW/LITIMI being called, raid simply, " I shall take no notion of that " claim"; but later in the day, when Mrs. SIMIAN NAN DANIEL was named, the same gentleman re marked : " Had that lady. or anyone for her. " appeared, he would have heard them in favour "of the claim:" Mr. Paimarts, the revising barrister for Mid-Surrey, wont into the matter more elaborately. With regard, he argued, to the Reform Aot of 1832, it has proved to be beyond the reach of ingenuity to contend that the word " male person" used in that Aot meant a woman as well assume. The Representation of the Pecple Act of 1087 is to be read together with the Reform Act of 1682. By see. 39 it is, so far as it is consistent with its tenor, to be construed as one with it, and all that the act of 1887 does is to give additional grounds of qualification to the subjects of the sot of 1832, via., to men as distinguished from women. The Revising Bar rister for East Essex will be alone we should hope in meeting the claims with a remark so foolish as he is reported to have uttered yesterday while ex punging the name of a lady at Braintree. If those names were put down next year, ho said, ho ihonki not allow the overseer any costs. " She " would have been killed," ho added, " jf she " bed gone up to the poll." At Manchester a large number of women will be disapp3inted by the decision which wee announeed this morning. But it is clear that the opi nions and salon of the revising barristers will go but a small way towards irettline. the question, now that it is fairly !annelid. We read in the German papers that, " The " Diet at Salzburg have adopted a resolution, - on the proposition of the committee, according " to which married women have to exercise their " electoral franchise through their husbands, and " unmarried females by proxies" ; and nothing less than another decision from Parliament, we expect, will satisfy the ladies of England pressing for what they believe to be their rights.

The last few days have shown, says the Deily Yews, eat the tag of providing good and market liberal can didates for muddle ncies now represented by tories is not being negk cted. That popular sailor and naval esoono mist, Captain Sherard Osborn, is likely to stand for Bir k( ahead ; Mr. Corbett, of Stoke Grange, a gentleman oon nee led with the staple trade of Droitwiob, and a large employer of labour, will oppose Sir John Pakington ; at hitel seen, Mr. Anthony Bonn Stewart will do battle with Mr. Bentinck and tho Lowther interest; and in Mid Surrey a most eligible candidate, Mr. C.

AN IRISH ARCHDEACON ON THE IRIS!! CHURCII. Tu clergy of the Irish Church are becoming suspicious of their ostensible defenders. The lan guage of some of the Conservative newspapers and of ministerial speakers at public meetings, rendirs them uneasy. The whisper of " betrayal " is heard. " I dread Mr. DISRAELI'S treachery," writes the Rev. Feeriamex Comm, Archdeacon of Raphoe, to the Dublin Evening Mail, of yesterday, " much more than Mr. GLADSTONVB open and " undisguised hostility." Disgusted by the ex perience of the past, and the aspect of things, the Archdeacon adds :—" Sir, I am no prophet, " or prophet's son, but I do firmly believe that " the hour is fast approaching—nay, has already " arrived—when, if Irish churchmen would wish to retain one shred of purity, " freedom, or independence, we must dissolve " our connection with the State. That oonnoction " in past times, whatever benefit it may have owe,- " sionally conferred, has on the whole been in " jurioua to us. Unprincipled statesmen have " used it—alas ! too often—as an engine to weaken " and degrade us in public estimation, and to in " troduce into our ranks, and promote to positions " of influence and command, men utterly incom " patent and unworthy." To this pass have Mr. Dunlaßm's taotioe towards the Church brought its more earnest members. If he remains in office much longer we shall have English Archdeacons writing in the same sense of the Church of Eng land. THE STOCK EXCHANGE AND ITS VISITORS. Trte Committee of the Stock Exchange is to be congratulated upon the letter which appears in this morning's Times. The day is past for the par ticular form of jocularity which was at one time associated with the gambols of " bulls " and " heart." That the Stock Exchange must be kept private is an obvious necessity ; but that the gen tlemen engaged on it there should pounce upon any stranger trespassing, and eject him con tumeliously and with their own hands is in tolerable. It is clear that the young foreigner whose sufferings have been recently described had no business where he was found, and that if 'Change were thrown open to every idle sight-seer the nuisance would be serious. But a proper system of police, or even of gate-keeping, ought to be sufficient to protect the members from intrusion ; and we trust that it will be in this direction the committee will inaugurate reforms. There are many institutions in London besides the Stock Exchange in which the presence of strangers is not permitted ; but there is, so far as we know, none in which exceptional violence is thought necessary to exclude them. It has been held part of the unwritten law of stockbroking that an outsider caught pry ing into the theatre of its mysteries should be danced round, yelled at, " bonnetted," punched, nudged, and generally exposed to the treatment inflicted upon pantaloon at Christmas time. Hun dreds of hapless people have experienced these amenities and gone home wiser if not sadder men. Let it be understood that for the future this kind of horse-play must be discon tinued, and that the Stock Exchange proper must be kept clear of visitors by other means. What those means shall be may be safely left to the conscript fathers regulating the sale and transfer of shares and scrip. There can be no difficulty in attaining an end which other institutions secure without difficulty and without fuels. Beaulieu Abbey House, in Hants, is now under going thorough renovation, previous to ite being the per manent residence of Lord Henry Scott, a son of the Duke of Buocleuch. The Abbey House was originally the abbot's residence and private chapel. Beaulieu Church was the abbey refectory, and contains a unique stone pulpit, from which a monk delivered religious exhortations while his brother monks were at their meals. Instead of ivy curious ferns grow on the church and tombstones. The famous Margaret of Anjou's apartments in the Abbey House, with their ancient furniture, are now dosed to the public, and only the doorway where she made her escape from the abbey grounds, and the spot in Beaulieu river where she embarked after the period of her claiming sanctuary had expired, can be visited by tourists. Beau ben Manor is a most extensive one. It was the only one contiguous to the New Forest which gave its owner the privilege of killing the forest deer that trespassed on it. One game preserve on the manor is 800 acres in extent, over which the Prince of Wales shot a short time mace. Lord Henry Scott has been spoken of as a candidate for South Hants. About 70,000 tons of clay from the Purbeck bills are annually exported from the port of Poole, in Dor setahire. This clay is adapted for the manufacture of coarse earthenware. Some portion of the clay is shipped to foreign port at Parkstone, near Poole. Extensive pottery works have been established for the manufacture of drain pipes, tiles, to. The surface clay is converted into bricks, and machinery has been put up there which can make 14,000 bricks daily. About 200 persona us employed at tAs Parkstone Pottery Works. 71111 REGINTILATION OOURTB. The Star complains that one of the barristers yesterday gave what seemed to be an illustration of a disposition to adopt a penal instead of a generous reading of the Re form het, by objecting to the word rooms or apartments u an insufficient desoription of the lodgings on which any claim for the franchise was made. Against all such excessive Aridness as this, the Star hopes it will be the general desire of public mon and public writers to protest. After all the Reform Bill was an enfranchising measure, and should be so interpreted. Revising barristers are not placed in their seats of judgment to restrict the fran chise, or to dole it out with pinching and niggard band. They are to guard against bad faith, to prevent fraud, to insist on the fulfilment of the formalities of the law. But beyond this they are not called upon to go. Morally con vinced of a claimant's good faith, provided with a fair reply to any objections that may be urged against his claim, and satisfied that all the stipulations of the law have been met, a revising barrister is bound liberally and freely to carry out for the benefit of such a claimant the act he sits to administer. RAILWAY C•1&L0I DOOM. The 71rnes thinks we may now take it for granted that ninety-nine travellers out of a hundred would much pre fer to have both the carriage doors unlocked. Nor does it follow that what in the infancy of railway travelling may have been a wise precaution is a judicious practice etill. People must have learnt something in twenty years' experience of the system, and what they have ►earnt, as far as we can judge, tells directly against the prudes in question. They carry key, of their own, so'. as to unlock doors at their own discretion. They do not choose to be exposed in helpless confinement to:the chances of a railway journey, and railway directors who profess, and, perhaps, sincerely, to be thinking only of the interests of the public, might do wisely in adopting the opinion which the pabilo has instinctively formed for itself. M 00.61211AT1V111 POLICY. The ron remarks that if Mr. Disraeli is to deal with the Irish church at all—and Lord Stanley has announced that he at leaet cannot defend it as it stands—all that has been said of the inability of the state to touch its endowment must be thrown overboard, as must also all that has been maid of the wickedness of severing the connexion between church and state. This, probably, would not trouble Mr. Disraeli, but it would pat the finishing blow to the party should the result be accepted by it, and the imanimity therefore with which the conservatives oppose a policy which they know, and support a prospective policy of which at present they 'mow nothing, will, in all probability, prove an element of weakness rather than of strength to them. The llon. 11. W. Watta, Minister of the United States in Austria, has arrived in Paris with his family, and will leave shortly for Vienne., where, since the retire ment of Mr. Motley, the historian, tho American Re public bad as representative only Mr. Hay, Secretary of Embassy. The Secretary of the Stock Exchange writes to the non :—"I am instructed by the Committee for Gene ral Purposes of the Stock Exchange to inform you that they have read with much regret the letter in your im pression of to-day signed 'G. de B. S.' The committee will feel obliged if you will inform your correspondent, ' O. do B. S.,' that if the two gentlemen referred to in hie letter will attend the meeting of the committee on Mon day, the 21st inst., at 1 o'clock, the committee will then be enebbd to ascertain the exact fact, of the cue." The English squadron under Vice-Admiral Lord Clarence Paget arrived at Corfu on the ith instant. Accounts of the crops in the island are most favourable, and there is every reason to expect a prosperous year. A telegram from Port Raid Atitemthat the works there are progressing with the greatest activity. The jetty on the western side, which on account of its length presented serious difficulties, is terminated. All that is now required to complete the opposite one is to place the blocks of stone already prepared. The Milan papers announce the expected arrival of the Empress of Russia with a numerous suite, on her way to Cernobbio, on the Lake of Como, where she pro poses passing some days. The Syndic of Milan bas left for that village to make preparations for her reception. The papers that busy themselves with the chronicle of Baden-Baden, to which at this season a large portion of the gayer and looser classes of Paris society is transferred, have lately been full of the success of a cer tain M. Edgar do la Charm°, who, for a number of days together, never left the gaming-room without carrying 04 the sum of 24,0001 r. The accounts from the vineyards say that this year we shall have better wine than probably was ever before known. Wine-making has oominenced around Paris, and as the entire yield of grapes is perfectly ripe there will be no neoeseity for • second gathering in a fortnight's time, which usually takes place. There has been issued in the United States the prospectus of the " East India Telegraph Company," which has a concession from the Chinese government, obtained through Mr. Burlingame, and of which ex-Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, ill chairman. This company announces that it has the privilege of connecting the seaports of China by telegraph, and proposes to lay • line of 900 miles of cable at once between Canton, Macao, Hongkong, Swatow, Amoy, Poo-Chow , Wan-Chu, Ningpo, and Shanghai. This is to be ollowed by land lines. The capital is 5,000,000 dole., in 100 dole. shares, but American capitalists do not appear very anxious to invert in the en terprise. The Ann Arbor Democrat, a Michigan paper, is displeased with Ex-Governor Blair, and it comes down upon him in this heavy fashion :—" The earth may quake to its centre; rocks may be rent asunder, and mountains sink to the plain ; but while the continent of America lifts its proud head above the ocean, ; till every trace of this broad and glorious land will melt away; till that awful day when blazing planets will crash on blazing planets, and the sky one broad red sheet of flame ; when amid the wreak of empires and the crash of worlds, and convulsions of nature, this beautiful sphere will be con sumed into a black cinder, and drop forgotten into the ocean of nothingness and night ; until that dreadful hour will the black and dirty lice uttered by Austin Blair shine enscrolled in burning letters upon the gates of hell!"

Many arrived at the station early and remained there's considerabletiznebeforethe hour fixed for th e myal departure. These whiled away the tinio by inspecting the splendidly-equipped special train, with its handsome and comfortable saloons. The royal train, numbering some fourteen carriages, had been despatched from the Eiseten station of the London snd North Western Railway, under the care of Mr. Bore, the su perinteedeut of the carriage department, and reached Windsor shortly alter two o'clock.

A large por tion of the soil of this island and Nantuckestt,, which is not suited to the production of corn, is admirably adapted to develops the capacities of the Ilea, and this wonderful insect attains here his highest state of perfection. They are eminently democratic in their tastes, and experiment with equal Impertiabty on the aristocratic residents of elegant cottages and the cook from Gay Head. During camp mooting they are particularly busy, and a good deal of uneasiness which is noticeable during divine service, and which is often attributed to the dallier of the preacher, is without doubt the work of the wicked (tun."

After visiting the Camp at Malone tho Emperor of tho French is to meet Marshal Niel at tho Camp Lannemeran to-morrow. THE LAST WORDS OF THE EMPEROR. The Journal des Moak, commenting on the language attributed to the Emperor Napoleon on his quitting the camp at Chalons, says : We take the Meaty to observe that there are several journals in Franoe, and that those which desire peace are more numerous than those which resell up war. There are doubtless journals which, whatever no language used by the Emperor in the midst of his generals, would take Advantage of it to beat the rappels, and to largo the refs quest of the Rhenish provisoes. But is it the independent press that is distinguished for its martial ardour i' The Indepeadanee Beige says : The newspapers cannot but be flattered by the homage rtndered to their power by the Emperor. Those of them that are in favour of peace, that is to say, almost the whole of them, will derive encouragement from it to thwart in the most eoergetio manner the secret designs of some perturbators of public order who wish to precipitate Europe into a most terrible struggle. These designs exist in regions where the destinies of France are decided, and the combined efforts of all good men are needed to countermine them. As for the Emperor, himself, besides the misinterpretation to which his lan guage may be exposed, there are other reasons why in the actual state of affairs he should be extremely reserved. He has sufficiently indicated by previous speeches what his sentiments are at least for the present. Aa no sove reign in the world will ever proclaim six months before hand that be intends to attack his neighbours, it is well that the French people should be somewhat habituated to mould its own destinies, instead of trying to fathom them in the sentiments of him who governs it. • .&,. • • ' 0 " .

The International Bulletin of Dresden contains the following: Ws as assert in the most positive manner that in ex pectation of a war with France, which in the belief of Prussia will break out this autumn, or at furthest the beginning of next spring, the Minister of War at Berlin transmitted about a fortnight back to our staff a very de tailed plan of the campaign, in which are pointed out with much clearness and precision the strategic points which the 12th Corps (the Saxon) ought to occupy on the first signal. The Poet of Berlin gars: If WILZIG* pretends to aired ua from "unattainable hopes," there is in this a case of war ; but it will not be the act or the fault of Germany. War may issue from this very pretension to subject us to Preach dictation. The Liber&, in an article with the curi ous heading, " The Nymph Galatea," laughs at the notion of Prussia dismissing 120,000 men at the mc,u,uuL W 1.4 r. tail/ is 1101AJL Ik/wily preparing for war, and her king of 76 years of age is peram bulating his dominions inspecting his troops. " Prussia is disarming," says Le Libert4, " very much after the fashion that Galatea fled from her lover—' she fled, but she desired to be seen.' Let us imitate the lover in Virgil ; let us not take the Prussian nymph at her word, but let u' follow her behind the willows." A communication in thu Correvondareet Ratio. from Vienna nays: We know perfectly well here what to think about a winter campaign. But there is a general apprehension that, if not this year. a conflict will take place next year between France and Germany. THE INTERNATIONAL WORKING MEN'S CONGRESS. The workmen at the International Working Men's Congress et Brussels have protested against war between France and Germany. "We regret," says the Debate, " that the work men of all the nations assembled in Belgium have shown themselves animated by loss pacific intentions in regard to real property, which they wish to transfer into the hands of the State, and in regard to capital, which they say is not entitled to any interest. It is profoundly sad to see the miserable sophisms of the communistic sects, and the ridiculous declamations of Proudhon, still seriously adopted by a portion of the working classes." tnizoiroa arum's ENCT .)

In a country ramble yesterday afterno on the Vallee de Ohevreuse—writea our Paris corr.,. 'pendant ou Sunday—l came across a curious spectacle. When passing by a village 00h001, carriage of peouliar oonstruotion drove up to e t door, where an expootant crowd had gathered. strong-built woman, fashionably dressed, alight and without further parley lifted out hero enpa. nion, who at the first glance had struok me te able-bodied man in the prime of life. Rot E presently obeerved that he had neither leee, arms, and the skirts of hie frock coat lapped ore s the arms of the lady who carried him, like baby's mantle over the nurse's. Reopening to know the schoolmaster, I asked him who this phenomenon wan ; he replied, a professoror of mathematics and arithmetio from Orleans. who had been authorised by the council of pukka inatruction to give Lootures in the priretry schools during the summer months. The reheat master also informed me that the tenter.' wnr, gratuitous, but that the hearers would L , ex peAed to buy come arithinetioal work., set s inert each, written by the " professor," 1 at ono, nt orcil the class-room—a low, chamber of irregular form, with joisted enide e walie, blackened with smoke and ri n. 4 and at the opposite extremities a plieter ere :ifir and a bunt of Louis Napoleon. The free. row of benches was 000upied hy ore of bops, who wore all that het . to school, though the oommune villages. Some looked intelligent, but the m lumpish.
