A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, CONTAINING The Latest Foreign Telegrams ; the Latest City ; Railway, Mining, and other Shares; Sporting, and General Intelligence, Is PUBLIdIIED EVERY EVENING. LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 9. THE lEI[ll (111°17(11 DEPUTATIo.V. PLAYING with Deputations is a part of the 'ate man's game, of which our present PREMIER is studied all the tricks, and which, in a remark- :le passage of one of Lis political novels, he has de- ribed with the indiscretion of a satirist. By Ault he would call " a singular destiny," and what others might call a singular retribution, it has fallen to his lot to present on the stage of public affairs the very character his contemptuous fancy had covered with ridicule when he, by anticipa tion, drew a literary picture of the some at his official residence yesterday. It was a greet and solemn occasion. A deputation of noblemen and gentlemen, representing the Ulster Protestant Association, and the Central Pro testant Defence Association in Dublin, and all their branches in various parts of Ireland, came to submit to the head of her MAJEBTY'S Government a series of resolutions against the disestablishment or disendowment of the Establiabed Church in Ireland, against any attempt to endow the Roman Catholic Church or the Roman Catholic priesthood in Ireland, either directly or indirectly, and in favour of the increase of the Regime Donum. According to the Chair man of the Central Association, what the Protest ants, represented by this deputation, desire is to maintain inviolate " the glorious principles of " the Reformation and of the glorious revolution " of l 685." And as though this doubly " glorious " amettion of principles wero insufficient, the Earl of Rasmus insists with more precision, that " the laity feel deeply upon the subject, for they " have vested interests." The Rev. H. HENDY.RBON, a Presbyterian minister, following on the same side and in the saute strain, and claiming to rak for the great majority of his communion, gards the establishment in Ireland as " tho great bulwark of Protestantism in that country." Ithough he did not profess in so many words to Nord it also from the more limited " vested • interest '• point of view, we shall probably do THE the rev. gentle nun no injustice in supplying that omission, sine. in the next sentence he declared that "he was there ales to •• ask the Government to give their continued •• supp.rt to the ilegie,a Power. It had bocn " enjoyed for two hundred years, and he •' thought that the character of their Minist. rt " and of their Chureli ought to protectthem age nit " the rubbery• which was now contemplated." Apparently the question of " Proteatiintism " in the eyes of the Established Church, like the ques tion of the rights of the Catholic Church in the eyes of the Court of Rome. resolves itself into a visited interest and a temporal power But we rejoice to find that it is not on the subject of vested interests only that the noblemen and gentlemen of yester day's deputation feel deeply. " Above all,' said the Presbyterian Minister, whom we have already quoted, " lie had, in the name of the Protestants "of Ireland, to call upon the Government to give " no:eountenanee whatever to any project for the ;endowment of the Roman Catholic Church in "'lreland. They had the best and kindliest feel ",nee towards their Roman Catholic fellow-court " !ryinen, but they were in the full enjoyment of •• civil and r•lig-ious liberty. The Protestants " of Ireland were reselved to resist to the uttermost any proposition, no matter by whom made', • • for tile et ri low to arty exten t or in any manner • • of the Rumen Catlii ieCla rind' or priesthood. There •• was nothing they would not:cheerfully surrender " rather than submit to such a measure. It we; " impote-ible to convoy any idea of the strong and " decided feeling which existed upon the subject." The Rev. D. M•A Fee, a Methodist minister, "hoped " that the day would never come when the govern •. merit of Protestant England would think of endow ". ing the Roman Catholic Chnrch." The resolutions rend by the Marquis of DOWESIIIRE, "strenuously •• eppuse any attempt to endow the Roman " Catholic Church or the Roman Catholic priest " hoed in Ireland, whether out of the so-called •• revenues of the Established Church, or other " wise." If the Patatign, as he listened to the ie burning words, could have imagined himself for a moment sitting once more calmly in his library• at home, as a political humourist, unattached to any party, and penning a chapter on Deputations, he might have richly enjoyed the pleasantry andthe irony of the occasion. He would have sketched in a few felicitous touches a Tory PREMIER who only the other day was engaged in educating his Cabinet up to the point of endowing the Church of the majority in Ireland on the principle of •` creating" religious equality, and who had actually got so far as to commit the Clues , Sums- TART of the LORD-LIECTEMANT to some vague and shadowy suggestions of such a policy, re ceiving an excited deputation of Irish Protestants in Downing-street. who came to protest unani mously and energetically against the very policy Le had projected, if not proposed. Con ceive a man of tender, sensitive, and scru pulous conscience a Mr. WALPOLE, for example—in Mr. DISRAELI'S position yes terday. Mr. WALPOLE no doubt considers his retirement from the Cabinet opportune, and Mr. DISRAELI may congratulate himself on having been endowed by nature with a temperament less emotional and a finer dramatic instinct. That strengthening and bracing contempt for mankind which, combined with native genius, has placed him where he is, and triumphed over the " peculiar circumstances" of his career, serves him well in these supreme moments. His lively sense of the incongruities of human nature must have Leen agreeably tickled by the tenacious temper of the deputation when their own vested interests were concerned, compared with their best and kindliest feelings towards their Roman Catholic brethren, whom they are delighted to see in the full enjoyment of civil and religious liberty. For themselves, the great principle they contend for is endowment; for their Roman Catholic brethren it is no endowment at all. What can any Church want more than " perfect civil and religi " ous liberty"? If there were any undertone of reproof or dis trust in the emphasis of the speeches, the PREMIER'S ear wax too polite to perceive it. In his reply, abounding in the sense of the deputa tion, he carefully omits a single syllable about the endowment or non-endowment of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. He does not so much rut pronounce " endowment," or " disendowment." Ile shrinks from the mere sound of such a word. Yet be raises his voice to hustings pitch, and sounds the cry for " Protestant Churches " and our Protestant Institutions." With one eye upon the Irish deputation, he keeps the other upon the Establishment in England, and sounds an alarm to the great "vested interest " on this side of St. George's Channel. He disdains to take a limited view of the situation. He cries " Fire" to the Ucalegons of the Establishment in Eng land, and rouses them to all the fury of a panic. Trust him not to descend to details For Lim it is no longer even a question of Church Establishments. It is for " the institutions of " Great Britain " that the coming appeal to the People is to be made. Having twenty years ago summed up the Irish question—including " the " alien church "-- as the ono which could only be solved by a series of measures amounting to a pacific revolution—he now de nounces " the machinations of a party of poli " ticians who have seized a favourable op " portunity of carrying their revolutionary " designs into effect." In like manner, only two years ago, he was denouncing the revolutionary de signs of the Ministry who had introduced a Re form Bill. Two years hence, according to that precedent, Mr. DISRAELI should be foundpropos ing the Repeal of the Union. " Do you wish for a revolution?" That is to be the appeal of her MAJESTY'S Government to the country at the present election. Mr. Doluau's estimate of the intelligence of the electors is not a high one. He wishes them to understand that the present Government have rescued " the institutions of the country" from immediate destruction by the dissolution of a Parliament already self -condemned, and by the appeal to constituencies which the legislation of the present Government had created. The question for the electors, we must confess, appears to us more simple and loss alarming. Are they the dupes Mr. DIMAILI supposes! We venture, as at present advised, to think they are not. And, unless we are mistaken in this conjec ture, the result of yesterday's deputation and of the PREMIKR'S stirring appeals will not be unsatisfactory. It will help to clear the ground for Mr. Or.annowE'n moderate legislation next year. For if we distinguish between tho noential prineiples, properly so called, affirmed yesterday Ly the Irish deputation, and the " vested interests," which are but an socident of their en e, :we find that they are really in faro= of dhtentior.mput. and .are perfectly saddled with civil and religious liberty. We cannot but con gratulate them on the opportunity that now pre- Fritts itaeif to such devoted Bible Christians of mplibing the greet ptenept--" Do unto others " as you would they should do unto you."

Eng hmd has not zuxived so important a literary guest fur many years, and we trust her welcome will be warm and outspoken. More than a gene ration has passed since WASHINGTON Iftvtßo's fihakesperiari musings were disturbed by the waitress at the Stratford inn, but .his nu•rner) still lingers pleasantly around the place, and " GEOFFREY CRAYON'S poker" is shown as a relic, in the same fashion as SHAKESPEARE' 8 house. But the gentle American humorist had scarcely won his spurs at the time of his visit here ; whereas the literary shield of our coming guest LY full• blazoned. Besides LONGFELLOW has claims upon us independently of his verse. He is essen tially a many-aided man, and his is a character and a career appealing to many English sympathies. As an ex-professor of Harvard University, ho com mands the regard of the Cambridge authorities, whose honorary degree he bears ; as one of the little band of earnest thinkers of whom EMERSON was one, and which made the State of Massachusetts so honourably prominent to the rest of America; as an ardent and uncompromising opponent of Slavery when Slavery a powerfully defended institution ; and as a man whose generous instincts have prompted him through life to support the just and true rather than the popular or expedient—LoNontitow is entitled to the cordial friendship and admiration of us all. It would be absurd to claim for him the highest rank as a poet, but his verse, eminently healthy, his "Village Blacksmith," "The Bridge," and " Excelsior," have idealised labour, resigna tion, and hope to thousands whose lives admit of little poetry, and who have been refined by the broad humanity of their favourite author. If we cannot emulate the public welcome given to Mr. Dtcgass, we can at least make LogGFELLOW feel at home in England, and give open testimony to the reputation he has won. . . _ utlit OtiNTEMPOltAlki' (THIS DAY.) Cliff T =PRIM (DCICDCIIN AND THR IRIS CAIR. A comparison of the statements made yesterday he the lord Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Blackburn. in reference to the Eyre prosecation, compels the condition. :ays the Times, thut the misapprehension was due to some negligexcc on both sides. Justice itself is discredited by the fact that the grand jury threw out the VII against Mr. Eyre tinder the influence of a charg., some of the leading doctrines of which •re now emphatically repudiated by the Lord Chief Justin:. t uueidcring the points upon which the two learned judges are at issue, the 771140 says the conclusion is inevitable, that bad the Lonl Chief Justice charged tin jury instead of Sir Cohn Blackburn, a true bill must have been found against Mr. Eyre in respeat of the transfer of Oortion, ant the question of his further resplivii billy must have come before a common jury. This Jesuit is creditable to neither patty concerned. If Mr. Jutliee Blackburn unduly amplified the meant of his colleagues, his colleagues ought to have seen that the nar row principle he stated to them was insufficient to justify that expression of their approval they did authorise him to we. There was great imprudence on all sides, the chief and fin t being that Sir Colin Blackburn did not commit the whole of his charge to writing before coniult ins his colleagues, while the end has been a scandal in the administration of our law for a parallel to which we must ysiniy seek iu recent years, perhaps not in meat generations. The Doily Nytex, while admitting that it la permi4sible for two judger to expound the law in a different fashion, rays that Mr. Justice Blackburn wont further than this., for he conveyed the impremion that be was expreeeing the unanimous sentimenta of his brethren of the court of Quern's Bench. lu taking exception to the law so confidently and dogmatically laid down by Justice Blackburn, the Lord Chief Justice per forms a duty for which he deserves the hearty thanks of every lover of constitutional freedom. It is the more commendable when, u in the present case, the head of the Court of Queen's Bauch throws the weight of his earning and influence into the scale wherein justice has been outweighed by prejudice and paanon. It is satis factory to learn that the modern doctrines about martial law are based on a legal quicksand. The Daily News rejoices at this, because recent events have awakened an uneasy feeling respecting the supremacy of the true prin ciples of liberty. The Trlegroph expresses a hope that the apparent dif ficulty may be cleared up by Sir Colin Blackburn's expla nation that, his own mind being so full of the subject, he omitted to ascertain the exact point at which he ceased to share the opinions of his brethren. The eminent posi tion and abilities of both the distinguished personages render their statements, whether of fact or law, a matter of the last importance. The 'Arad does not see how the mood explicit state. mcnt of these differences of opinion on the bench could have affected the result The jury would probably have been mystified by the very means taken to inform them, and as reasonable men they would have refused to my that Mr. Eyre bad transgressed the law, when the judges tio , rsselyes could not tell them what the law was. The Star observes that the remarkable scene of yester day effectually disposes of Mr. Lamont's motion to be brought on this evening sa to the payment of Mr. Eyre's expenses out of the public funds and his reinstatement in the public service. For the House of Commons to entertain either gas stion would be to place a premium on law-break ing which the legislature of this law-respecting country is not likely to offer. The lest fears it mu►t be conceded, that Mr. Justice Blackburn transgressed equally against the canons of good taste and the usages which govern the procedure of the court of which be is a member. Entertaining, as he did, a different opinion from that of the Lord Chief Justice on a point of great constitutional importance, he seems to have seised the opportunity accidentally afforded to him of giving( apparently in the name of the full court, directions in point of law which in effect overruled the expressed opinions of the chief of that court. There may have been a misunderstanding upon his part, but most persona will probably be inclined to share the opinion Ihidently entertained by the Lord Chief Justice, that if there was a misunderstanding he must be much more stupid than the world believes him to be. The longing, nay, the burning desire, which Mr. Ward .Hunt expresses on behalf of himself and his colleagues, to have the verdict of the now Parliament upon their con duct and policy, and to be relieved from the burthen of a position almost too much fur human nature, is very creditable to them, says the Daily News, but does not form a security of which the House of Commons can take cog nisance. It is accompanied by the practical conclusion that the government ought to ask for supplies for the whole year. Nevertheless Mr. Hunt is willing to postpone the report of the last votes in order that the question mooted by Mr. Childers may be considered. It is possible that her Ma jesty's Ministers may in the meantime return to the opi nions which they professed three weeks ago, and which aro those, we believe, of the House of Commons and the country, in favour of an autumn session. If parliament has the will, ministers will find the way. The regress made with the Scotch Bill and the Boundary Bill premises well, the Herald thinks, for the timely com pletion of the work of reform, and leaves room for hope that, after all, the ministry may succeed in their laborious task, and attain their wish to meet the reformed parliament in the autumn of the present year. The Telegraph, too, is struck by the rapidity with which the putlic business was transacted hug night, and remarks that if during the remainder of the session the same rule is observed, all doubts respecting the practicability of en early dissolution would be speedily set at rest.

PARLIAMENTARY TRIFLING. Ma. HEARD= is not to be left in solitary oonsp:cuousness as the oontravener of good taste in his parliamentary questions. Mr. CAVIINDISII BEavurcx aspires to stand by his side. The hon. member for Athlone not only sinned himself, but his example is the cause of sin in others. The following notice on the paper of the House of Commons is not to be paralleled oven in this ex ceptional session : On going into committee of Supply, Mr. Bann= to call attention to a paragraph of a letter addressed by the right hon. gentleman the member for South Lancashire to a parson unknown, and dated the 26th of May last, which paragraph is in the terms following :—" Mr. linsittonr is "no supporter of Mille or of the liberal party. So " far as I know he has voted against us upon " tho most interesting and important questions " czcept that of the Irish Church;" and to ask the right hon. gentleman whether, on the 22nd March, 1867, a meet ing of members of the House of Common@ belonging to the Liberal party was not held at his private residence for political purpoisia, and whether the hon. member for Athlone was not present at that mooting, and whether he did not there attend at the summons and with the consent of the right hon. gentleman. Even if the Sem&xim allows the question to be put, at we can hardly suppose Mr. GLADSTONE all answer it. Another example of a class of questions which ought to be settled else where than in the House of Commons is found in a notice by Captain PACK-Bzuzsman, viz., that he will ask the GRIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND on Tuesday next, " Whether he is aware " that the gentleman acting temporarily as Banger " of the Curragh has made a claim for 1/. for each " horse entered to run for the Quintres Plate at the " Curragh in April last, and also for 5/. from " the winner, as fees due to him ; and, on what " authority this gentleman makes Bich i claim." Both professions being represented in the House, it might be possible for hon. gentlemen of a peculiar turn of mind, if such queries as the fore going are encouraged, to get their law and their medical advice in the same way. TIGHT LACING. To write of spanning a woman's waist may sound prettily in love-verses, but is wholly un reasonable in prose. An English woman, who is worth loving, is not likely to have ruined her shape by tight-lacing, and it is only by this stupid and perilous custom that she can reduce her waist to wasp-lice proportions. Strange to say, that despite Comm, Sournwoon Bumf, and other medical authorities, a book has been recently pub lished in which this exquisite folly is defended, and a number of letters inserted, describing the gradual diminution of the waist as " a most an " perb sensation." We find it difficult to believe that the whole thing is not a hoax, written for the purpose of ridiculing what it apparently defends. " The letters must be genuine," says the Spectator. We should prefer to say they may be, while for the credit of human nature we sincerely hope they are not. Yet we must allow, that after a medita tive walk through the nave of the Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, we are in clined to think that a fashion, devised, ono would suppose, for the express pur pose of thinning off our surplus female population, is once more coming into vogue. To support good resolves and overthrow absurd argu ments the Lancet restates in the last number a variety of reasons why our girls should leave their waists untortured. The simplest knowledge of the animal frame will con vince anyone that these statements cannot be refuted. But, unfortunately, fashion is an impe rious task-master, and women, notwithstanding their timidity, are bold enough in such a cause to do his bidding even unto death. What are beelth and vigour, and the generous development of all womanly functions, compared with a waist of fifteen incise.?

(rim ore cows oomusaroxpwr). PARIS, MoirDAT Evanxo. On Saturday, M. Emile 011ivier took the oppor tunity of the admission to the Chamber of the new member for the Tarn, Baron Germ, to call attention to the great discrepancy between a re cent speech of M. Pinard and the conduct of the Prefect of the Tarn in reference to that election. The Minister of the Interior, when apologising for the system of official candidatures, had said that, when one candidate was only separated from another by differences of opinion On special questions, th Cioverninent had no dealt to bias the judgment of the electors; it was only when there was an abyss or Rubicon between the candidate and the Government that the prefects would be instructed to use their influence against , him. Well, Baron Gorase was a thoroughly dynastic man, as his father had been before him. But he opposed the Army Bill, and appealed to his father's constituency as an independent candidate. The Government, nevertheless, strained every nerve against him, and the Prefect represented him as an " enemy " of government. It is true that when he was elected the Conetibdionnel said it was no defeat, because Baron Gorse was tho roughly loyal to the empire, although he differed with the administration on certain points. Here then, if ever, was a case for the application of the doctrine which M. Pinard had laid down. From the fact that this doctrine bad not been acted upon, M. Emile 011ivier drew the inference that M. Pined was a minister for "parade," whose words were contrary to his acts, and he added that the acts of the minister of the Interior were performed by his subordinate, M. Calley de St. Paul, who passes for a creature of U. limber's. M. Pinard was not in the Chamber when M. 011ivier made his speech ; but M. Bouher made an angry reply, asserted that the utmost unison prevailed among the Emperor's servants, and desired to make a public declaration of his respect and esteem for M. Pinard. This declara tion was obviously intended to be an answer to rumours that the two ministers are not on (peaking terms. To-day M. Pinard returned to the subject on his own amount, and said that all the ministers were at one, because they were " deminated by the directing will of the Emperor." The reason obviously does act show that in reality d'art-noes of opinion--nay, even great jealousiee, do not exist. This reason, moreover, tends to ignore that ministerial responsibility for the sake of covering the lilsoperor, which has been half pro mised by M. Bouher, ands felt to he arse of the most pressing necessities of the time. It is very carious that the two principal ministers sworn. League tlechtration.

The subject which Mr. Sy dow his discourse was the question whether Chrimninity had been revealed in the very commein eia•nt is such • completed form as to be suseeptii.lo of no further development. The preacher did r.ot lieve this to have been the intention of th,. Founder, and he based his argument on John v. 12, and the following verses, which ho taken for his text. At the meeting which follo.s.‘i the service, the president, Herr Bluntichli, .I.i• dressed the members in a sprechof two hour.' ration, in which he eneleavotin.l teen formal theses, defining the true relations of church and state. This reminds me that a rather curious quarrel has broken out among the mem bers of the Synod 4,f the Berlin Circle. Mr. Lieu, a clergyman of rationalistic views, had pohli,h,st a report read at a meeting of the synod held last autumn, entitled " Condition of the Moral anf Religious Life of Berlin, is Synodical ltepor." Among other thing he stated in it that the 01.1 biblical views of the creation were no longer h.-Id in the church. This produced a, prot ,- 41 fr.dn orthodox members of the synod, and also ~euts ioned a sharp debate at a later meeting of the synod, in the course of which Mr. aiedh-r Berlin clergyman, confessed to the belief that th • eurth stands still, and that the sun iu AS Mr. Klink, by virtue ~f 16.4 position, has sonic influence in matter: of tion, his peculiar views and the public I! • them have attracted a good deal of attow!..:: The consiatory has already received one petite the subject, and much ink will be spilt before 'matter is allowed to drop.
