LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 19. WINDSOR PARK TO-MORROW. Wa are not disposed to take too literally the meal complaints of the " badness of the season." either the look of Rotten-row morning and 'tuning, nor of the principal streets of an after noon, nor of the Opera houses three and four nights a week, nor of the Crystal Palace on the HAND= Festival days, on the firework evenings, at the Saturday concerts, and at the occasional flower shows, seems to justify particularly at this moment the lamentable reports of slackness of trade and " nothing doing." It would not be easy to show that less money was spent on social luxuries, or that the commerce which supplies the real and artificial wants of wealth, and serves as a channel for the distribution of its fertilising streams, was suffering from the drought which threatens our fields. Farmers —that much-abused and long-suffering raoe—and sea faring men, who always bewail the way of life they have chosen, are not the only people in the world who grumble for grumbling's sake. No doubt the presenoe of the Court in the midst of our Society at the time of the year when Parliament is assembled and all the wealth and rank of the country are gathered together in London, is a desirable and proper, if not an indispensable, contribution to the solemnities of Vanity Fair. Royalty crowns, so to speak, the social edifice, as it cements the foun dations of the political structure. There is no flattery in observing that the visible and constant influence of such a throne as ours is all for good in a Society which in hastening to bo rich forgets to be refined, and in vulgarising all at wealth can buy, loses something of the un irchaseable charm of good manners. The return of the Sovereign from her retreat in *lliad and her reappearance is pablio deserve to THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, TUNE l9, 1868. be hailed ea auspicious events. Nor perhaps could lier MAraslY have celebrated her reappearance by a more graceful and popular invitation, or accepted a more cordial and cheering welcome from her people, than that of the Volunteer Review in Windsor Park to-morrow. Military displays aro the habitual official recreation of Royalty, and in continental monarchies are more than half its business. In this tradi tion lurks the old feudal principle. In some countries the soldiery is the appanage of absolute power ; in others, the printorian guard of a (mews'- ful usurpation. Even in the freest and moat con stitutional of monarchies, the right of the Crown to make peace or declare war is a more than respectable fiction, which accounts in some degree perhaps for the reluctance of " the Horse Guards" to bow to the behests of Parliament, or to acknow ledge the control of the civil administration. Happy nevertheless may be pronounced the country in which the Sovereign presides over an army of volunteers, who are content, in all that concerns their relations with their fellow-countrymon, to be subject to the civil power. Happy the Sovereign who presides over an army which is a terror only to the ene mies of her people, and to her people, as to her self, an object of confiding admiration, and a safeguard of dignity and independence. The spectacle in Windsor Park to-morrow will have a more than military significance, and a bettor. It will be such a gathering of men-at-arms as even the International League of Peace may contem plate not only without misgiving, but with satis faction and approval. In that magnificent pleasaunce, famous in its historic memories, famous in the song of English poets, old as the age of England, and freshly green as England's per petual youth, Queen Vicrosis will find her self surrounded by a popular army as spon taneous in its birth and growth as any that ever burst forth at the bidding of a democratic revolution—an army of three kingdoms and three races—of all ranks, orders, conditions, and degrees—of brainworkera and handicraftsmen, of gentlemen at ease, and wage-paid workmen—of men of large estate, and men without an inch of ground to call their own in the land of their birth —of men of the robe and of the pen, of the counting-house, the shop, the factory, the farm, all united in a national service of duty and by a common instinct of fellowship, as a standing pro test against rash aggressors and warlike disturbers of the general peace. Such an army as this is ono which, in spite of its too obvious military deficiencies, oven the professional soldiers of a military monarchy must look on with respect, for it is the flower and pith of the manhood of a free and sobermindod people who have earned in many a bard-fought field the right to be the peace makers of Europe. Our kinsmen beyond the Atlantic, our friends in Switzerland will recognise in this volunteer force the true army of peace and liberty. In estimating with due sympathy yet without exaggeration themoral significance of to-morrow's Review we shall not be suspected of overlooking the fact that as a foroo intended for service in the field our admirable volunteer army has important defects. What it might be made in a great emer gency, or even in ordinary circumstances by a different organization, we are not at this moment concerned to inquire. With every disposition to believe in their largest capa bilities, and with the most unhesitating confidence in their high spirit, it may be sufficient for the day to remark their manly bearing on parade and their easy steadiness in the " march paid." For the rest, let us proclaim a day's truce, and beoontent to congratulate so many thousands of our sedentary and corpulent fellow countrymen on the national spirit and soldierly enthusiasm that perspire so freely for their country's good. After all, patriotic vanity apart, is there any country in the world in which finer materials for a volunteer army should be found than in this classic land of athletic sports and adventurous prowess by flood and field ? Take volunteer sol diering as nothing more than a manly exorcise of wind and limb, a course of bodily training and moral discipline, and oven in that character and capacity its national importance is not to bo despised. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS ON THE IRISH REFORM BILL. Six divisions took place last evening in the course of the debate upon the Representation of the People (Ireland) Bill. Mr. Chichester Forteecue's proposition, that in future Parlia ments the University of Dublin and the Queen's University in Ireland shall jointly return two members, was very near being adopted, the " ayes" amounting to 170, and the " noes" to 183. In this instance the two political parties kept dis tinct, the Liberal failure being due to absenteeism rather than direct desertion. Sir Colman O'Loghlen's slause abolishing the freeman's franchise, but saving the rights of ex isting freemen, was rejected by 155 votes to 109. In this case the Government were assisted by se veral of the Liberal members ; among them were Messrs. Akroyd, W. Allen, S. Carter, W. Lee, P. Martin, T. Parry, and M. Thompson. Voting for the clause were Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Gibson, Mr. Goschen, Mr. Bright, Mr. Horsnian,Mr. J. S. Mill, and the Irish Liberal members generally, and also Mr. Boresford Hope. The 55 members who supported Mr. Fawcett in attempting to give the Queen's University ono member in the place of the borough of Portarling ton, show a curious mixture of Liberals and Conservatives. Side by side with Mr. Baines, Mr. Jacob Bright, Mr. Cowen, Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Labouthere, and Mr. Seely, are good Tories like Mr. Baillie, Mr. W. Beach, Mr. Gorst, Mr. Bores ford Hope, Sir R. Rnightley, Mr. Liddell, Mr. Read, Mr. Schreiber, and Mr. Smollott. The tellers for the " ayes" were Mr. Mill and Mr. Goldemid. The majority (210) was swollen by the accession of a great many Liberals, including Lord Amberley, and Masers. Bagwell, E. Craufurd, G. Dixon, M. Gibson, C. Gilpin, W. Gladstone, G. Glyn, G. Goschen, Lord Henley, W. Monsen, The O'Conor Don, The O'Donoghue, Alderman Salomon, J. White, and many others. We give in another column the division on Colonel French's clause, reducing the occupation franc:hie° in counties from 121. to 81. Among the Liberals who left their ranks, it will be seen, were Mr. A. Barry, Colonel Biddulph, Sir R. Blemner bassett, Mr. J. Brown, Mr. W. Gregory, Earl Grosvenor, Lord R. Grosvenor, Mr. J. Lamont, Mr. Mainwaring, Viscount Milton, Alderman Salomon, and Mr. Wyld. The name of the Hon. C. Lyttelton appears among the " ayes." Sir John Gray's ballot clause wee supported by 126, and opposed by 225. Mr. Gladstone did not vote. Sir T. Buxton, Lord E. Cavendish, Lord E. Clinton, Mr. H. F. Cowper, Mr. W. Forster, and Mr. Mill, were among the opponents ; but the division on the whole was not one which need discourage the hon. member for Bristol. CLERICAL. ELECTIONEERING. Tnz "Hand of PROVIDENCE." as recognised on Wednesday night by Mr. DISRAELI in the " awful " dispensation" which makes the disestablishmont of the Irish Church a possibility, is a figure of speech which is just now being rather extensively and profanely used for electioneering purposes. The example of our devout and clever PRIX= is followed in circles in which zeal is more promi nent than sense; and to represent the Irish Church as the Ark of the Covenant, with SATAN, in the bodily form of Mr. GLanerroffx, in the act of desecrating it, is becoming a recog nised " tag " to sermons and prayers. HOOD'S horror of regarding " Heaven as any " body's rotten borough," is not universally shared by its ministers on earth. Men, like the Vicar of Ashford the other day, make it a point of assisting in political agitation, after an avowed abstinence, which has lasted through their pro longed life. It would bo difficult for the bitterest enemy of the Church of England to devise a course more opposed to its true interests; and the clergymen, whose spiritual teaching is sub ordinated to a party cry, should be warned of the inevitable result upon their congre gations. The clergyman on the hustings and politics from the pulpit are both misplaced. In ono of Mr. Tnoixores novels the author, speaking in his own person, inveighs against the tyranny which compels a congregation to listen help lessly to a young curate whose spiritual expe rience is far inferior to theirs, whose internal con flicts and bitter trials are all to come, but whose glib assumptions and possible fallacies it is forbidden to refute. When we find that the Scripture readers employed by the Church to administer religious consolation and to combat the spiritual darkness of the poor and ignorant that oven those are mingling allusions to Mr. GLADSTONE'S policy and the " awful dispensation" which would turn Mr. DISRAELI and his friends out of office with their bedside prayers, it is time to speak out and to demand that this thing shall stop. Political preachers have rarely commanded the nspect of Englishmen, and the innate purity and vast usefulness of the Church of England will be beet maintained by keeping it in its native atmos phere far above the level of party fights.

PARIS, TueasuAy ETIMTNO. The Correctional Tribunal, preside,' over by Pr aident Deleevaux, gave judgment yeuterdiy in thi case of a prosecution by M. de Souheyr-in. a .1— puty of the Corps Logislatif, against a newqrap-r called the International, published in the Frp r -b language in London. Doubts have been freshen.,:, expressed in the European press whether the el. flounced fact of this prosecution could b , tri because the French tribunals could not peu4il,) , have any jurisdiction over a London new.pap.r. The proposition so stated is irrefutable; hut th , International has an office in the Chauss.%, 11 . Ante% where it " publishes" the paper printul in land ; and the Court, moreover, ruled thst t::, sale in the kiosks, which tho editor, when he w in favour with the French government, i as a privilege, was a further " publication" iu France. The libel which M. de Soubeyran pr,-- cuted was in the following words :—" The uses •t of two persona ' executed' at the Bourse are tioned to-day. One is M. —, and the nth..r Baron de Souboyran, deputy-governor of th., Credit Foncier, and a member of the Corp.; Lege latif, who has boon absent from Paris for the week." There were two defendants ; M. Loons Dupont, formerly editor of f;,. Nation, now defunct, and M. David, the edt of the International. M. Leone Dupont ap peared to answer the charge ; but M. David, the editor, wide default, and the case against hint was taken in his absence, as being in contempt vi court. The French law, as you are aware, pru hibita reports of the pleadings in libel cases. The court held it established, that tho passage of which the prosecutor complained was not writton by M. Leone e Dupont, although it was printed in a letter bearing the signature " A.," which h , uses in the International. Accordingly, M. L. Dupont was acquitted. The editor, M. David., yew held responsible for the interpolation of the libellous passage in M. Leone Dupont's article. sentenced to three months' imprisonment and s fine of 2,000 fr., and decreed to insert the judgment in six Paris journals at the choice of the prosme tor. Several Paris papers express regret that Muir' de Soubeyran, in order to vindicate his character more completely than can be done by French lee, did not bring his action in England, where h.• might have defied his calumniators to prove th • truth of their assertion. Two British pickpockets, who gave their as James Lyons and William Wallace, were &lot c. Orleans on June 11 for light-fingered openstiuu, in that city on the occasion of the Eniperor'i on May 10, and sentenced each to three ycnr, imprisonment. _ The Bourse was calm but firm. Rent.' for aooonnt rose sc. closing at 7fr. 221 c. ; rth.: 3.5 c.; Credit Fonder, 2fr. 50c.; and Mobilkr. lfr. 25c. Tho royal family of Belgium is established at Luken, by whom were received on Saturday last too hereditary Prince Louis of Hesse-Darmstadt and th e Princess Alice, his wife. Their royal highnemea era backed at Antwerp on the 14th for England on board a yacht of the British navy. Admiral Farragut was lit wise invited to the palace of Laaken, the admiral hang begged King Leopold to pass in review the Amon= squadron, which he intends shortly to assemble in the port of Ostend. The Bastian Correspondence says:—" Accounts from the south-east mention that an abundant barest is expected this year, especially on the shores of the Sea of Asoff. The late rain has had a most beneficial effect Oa the standing corn." Senor Mesa, director of the Havre Circus. has received a first convoy of 12 bulls from Spain for the fights which have been announced. One of them vu injured in landing and was obliged to be killed. Ths others, which are all brown, of no great height, but with enormous horns, are in good condition. A letter from Constantinople, in the Semaphore of Marseilles, says:—" A diSculty has lately occurred amongst the domestics of the palace of Top-Capou, where are lodged the wives, concubines, and surviving slaves of the late reigns. These people, to the number of 600, havetnot been paid for an immense time. For two years they have bad no new clothes, and, moreover, they com plained of being scantily fed. They petitioned the Salto. and the other day, by order of the grand vizier, two bodies of police took possession of the approaches to the palace, and placed the whole of the persona under area. Sixty-four have been sent to various provincial fortresse ; 100 have been incorporated in the army; and another 100 await their fate in prison." A witty and very popular journalist of Warsaw, M. Kleesewski, editor of the Sunday Courier, has hnsa obliged to leave Poland by the intolerance of the Mourn authorities. Lest year he married a young lady who Mai described in the register as a catholic, but who was the daughter of parents professing the Russian religion, sad should, therefore, by the Russian law, belong to that gion herself. The government, on ascertaining this a few days ago, immediately annulled the marriage, at the same time condemning IL Klecrewski to banishment in Siberia and his wile to five years' imprisonment in a Haas!' convent. Luckily M. Eleesewski contrived to make his escape abroad, together with his wife and child, before the sentence was executed. The hot weather has caused the walls of Paris, where advertisements are allowed to be posted up, to blossom with many-coloured "posters," inviting sale public to visit those various bathing places which, under the present reign, have been inaugurated with mina reading-rooms, and other attractions. The public ace' vited to Boulogne-sur-Mer, Havre, Trouvills, Dessuvells. Etretat, Dieppe, Ac. Advertisements are also out sato; the public to avail themselves of circular railway ticket,. by which the Parisians can visit the Rhine, and roan,' d t. portant towns of Germany, for something like 61.

BARRY AND MR. STREET. Ws hear that the decision respecting the new law courts is not to pass unchallenged. Mr. E. M. Barn's protest will, it is rumoured, be followed by an application to have the whole matter referred to a select com mittee of the House. A tabular abstract has been prepared of the points of excellence awarded to each competitor by the professional judges of the designs (Messrs. SHAW and PowNALL), which if it can be taken as correct, places the relative merits of the several architects in somewhat striking juxtaposition. In this return Mr. BARRY'S merits are represented by the figures 41, Mr. Sc o'rr's by 25, and everyone else, far behind-hand in the race. Mr. LOCKWOOD has 9 points in his favour, Mr. WATERHOUSE 6, Mr. Bußais 5, and Mr. Smarr, against whose appointment by the Government Mr. BARRY protests, 3. The particulars by which these results are arrived at are specifically given in each case, " General Subjects," " Law Courts," " Judges' " Chambers," and " other suites of office.," all having their special works. Under the heeding "Law Courts," Mr. BARRY is representedas having 17 marks and Mr. Baser 1, while " other suites "of offices " gives Mr. BARRY 11 and Mr. Slits= 2 separate units. We cannot pre tend to go into these figures, or to vouch for them in any way ; nor is this necessary, as the public is evidently doomed to long professional disquisitions on the subject. The point raised is, so far as we understand it, that according to the terms of the contract entered into between the Government and the competing archi tects, Mr. BARRY is entitled to the prize, and that the award to his friend and rival, Mr. STREET, is a distinct breach of covenant. The aggrieved candidate is, moreover, careful to express his confidence in Mr. STREET'S ability to design and erect a building worthy of the nation, and takes his stand solely upon what he con ceives to be his right. Altogether it seems as if the House of Commons would be called upon to arbitrate in a matter it is eminently unqualified to decide. THE NEW ASYLUM AT LANCASTER. TUE foundation of an Asylum at Lancaster " for the education and training of idiots" is s matter of no ordinary interest. Thirty years ago we did not, or would not, believe that idiots were capable of any kind of instruction, and there was probably no portion of the population that needed so much help and received so little. In deed idiots, among all classes of society, were oom paratively neglected—kept out of sight and in soli tude by the rich, and too often laughed at or persecuted by the poor. At a time when refugee for the care of these unfortunate beings were established in several continental states, England was still without an idiot asylum, and the first germ of the present institutions may be traced to a private house in Bath, which was under the care of some benevolent ladies. Thanks, however, to the philanthropic exertions of Dr. ANDREW REED, a home for idiots was opened exactly 20 years ago on the summit of Highgate-hill. Before long it attracted the attention of the yublio awl of men of science, who discovered that kindness and dis ciplinecould do much towards ameliorating thecon dition of the strange family thus brought together. This embryo establishment ham now expanded into the national institution of Earlswood, and it is found that of the cases admitted " 10 per cent. " become self-supporting ; 40 per cent. become so " far improved as to cease to use up a sane life "in their care, and become contributors to " the common stock ; and of the remainder " all but 6 per Dent. are invariably " improved in their habits, and become " greatly lessened burdens on their families and " society." Earlswood is not the only idiot asylum which can testify to these mooessfal results in the south of England, but it seems that up to the present time no similar institutions have been established in the north, where, unhappily, they are quite as much needed. The Royal Albert Asylum, so brilliantly inaugurated on Wednes day, will supply a want that has long been felt in the great manufacturing counties. REPREAMITATION OF William 11!Combie, of;Tillyfeetr, the well-!mown breeder of stock, and who had the honour the other day of a visit from her Majesty the Queen, has announced his inten tion of standing for the mooed seat given to Aberdeen shire under the new bill. As Mr. lir Canine has been diligently at work for a considerable time back, obtaining the promise of support of hie brother farmers, and as this large body entertain a very natural desire to be represented by one of their own order, there is every chance of his being returned. Questioned on Friday by a committee of electors am to his political creed, Mr. WCombie said he would take his seat on the bombes ocoopiod by the Waldo of Mr. Oisdatam. ,-Mr. Tall IRVIN 1111701111 SILL. In the opinion of the Time, the most malignant demon could not have devised a greater humiliation than that which this unfortunate ministry have voluntarily taken upon themselves. Every principle, every maxim upon which they took office has been violated. The Sootch county franchise has been settled on another bans than that of rating ; seven English boroughs have disappeared ; in all important boroughs the rectification of boundaries has been refused ; and now, despite their argument while in oppo sition that any measure of reform, sanctioned by parlia ment, must be complete, the distribution clauses of the Irish Reform Bill have been deliberately cut away. The conservative ministry, having abandoned every part of their cargo piece -meal, and at last cut away their masts, are getting into harbour, where their crazy vessel may be broken up. Everything has been lost, not excepting honour. It is impossible not to feel some relief that the end is so near. It is an "awful dispensation" that the Constitutional party should be represented by a body of gentlemen who build up principles only to abandon them, and who re pudiate with unruffled composure any professions, how over loudly advanced, which may happen to become in convenient. Though admitting that the policy of the Irish members in suggesting the postponement of redistribution in Ire land until neat year may be brought into question, inasmuch as there are some advantages to be gained while Mr. Disraeli's desire to retain power mitigates his obstructive tendencies and secures the House of Lords, the Daily News nevertheless describes the government plan as, perhaps, the most injudicious and least efficient that even a tory chief secre tary could elaborate. Lad night another Dianelien "vital principle," that by which Mr. Gladstone was thwarted in 1866, went overboard. However, as Mr. Disraeli observed, with happy apprehension of his own character, "The opinions of individuals change in a very remarkable manner." And the House of Commons laughed, after its bad. The Deily Neat thinks that the arguments by which Mr. Fortescue supported his motion were very good reasons for giving the Queen's University • member of its own, but scarcely meet the objections that are advanced against the grouping plan, and it may be the inte rests of the Queen's University willnot stiffer in thelong run by the delay. The interval of the recess will give time for the preparation of a complete and reasonable redistribu tion scheme for Ireland, and in any such scheme the claim of the Queen's University must be considered. The Ater, in referring to the discussion on the disfran chisement of Irish freemen, says that some words uttered by Mr. Gladstone were treated by the ministerialiste, as their murmurs showed, as a sort of adhesion to the bal lot. However interpreted, it was equally unanswerable as a condemnation of the freemen system. Unanawer- able, that is, except by an ignorant and obstinate •ote. TIM MUMS AND THE XERCHAZIT TAYLOR& The Daily News describes the Merchant Taylors dinner as a grand dram rehearsal of a drama, "The Awful Dis pensation ; " or "The Impending Change," which is to be performed, with more or less success, on every hustings in town and country. The ordinary language of enco mium fails to do justice to the tragic power with which the approaching convulsion of church and state and sub version of the royal supremacy were depicted, and how heartily the representation was appreciated and enjoyed by the three hundred spectators. Excellent as was the banquet in dishes and in wines, there was nothing in all the bill of fare that gave so much pleasure to the company as the assurance of the principal personage that their rights and liberties were assailed and threatened, and that the protestant church of Europe was about to receive a wound from which it would probably never recover. The Part calls attention to the circumstance that, in again attacking Lord Clarendon, Mr. Disraeli has com promised Lord Derby, who, in forming his goverment, was, as he himself avowed, profoundly smalls of the inconvenience of making any change in the direction of our foreign affairs. For the present, the Stetsdard says, the Wm* stands before the country as Mr. Disraeli puts it as a choice between constitutionalism and revolution; between adhe rence to Protestantism and concession to Rome; between the supremacy of the Crown and the tyranny of sectaries ; between the maintenance of our condition as a Christian state, a Protestant power, and the degradation of govern ment into a mcro machinery of police, incapable of moral influence and impotent to attract a sentiment of loyalty and affection. While Mr. Gladstone uses argument, obser►es the Tele graph, Mr. Disraeli employs gushes of pious sentiment, to which nobody can reply. He talks of Providence as if a special watch were kept over the present Cabinet; and what are we to say ? Shall we correct it thus—" We have reason to believe that when Mr. Disraeli spoke of Provi dence he had no authority to attribute," &c., &c.—that he had no ground for his assertions when he thus attempted to out-Record the Record and its new chief in profane allusions to " God's hand in the coming general elections." In his books and past speeches he has often declared war against popular cants—greatly to his credit for courage and intelligence. But he may now sadly think that his attacks have not been so successful as they might have been ; and thus, as a last resource, he resolves to spoil for ever the Exeter Hall fanaticism, by taking it up for the nonce, and linking it with the fortunes of a discredited party and a cabinet tottering to its fall.

Guthman kLP.. Mr. Maurice Brookes, '9 - mount Hamilton, M.P., James Yokes Mackey, J.P., Sir John Gray, M.P., Jonathan Pin, M.P., William Lane Joynt, D.L., Sir Patrick O'Brien, M.P., Major Lau rence, and B. Knox, D.L., waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official residence in Downing street, to pray his consent to an arbitration for the pur chase of the site of the Dublin Exhibition building to be converted into the Royal Institute of Arta, pro posed to be established by govern ent in that ooun try. Mr. Henneker, after apologising for the unavoidable absence of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, explained that they waited upon him (the right hon. gentleman) pursuant to • resolution passed at a meeting over which the Lord Mayor of Dublin presided, to the effect that a deputation should wait upon the Premier, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, his excellency the Lord Lieutenant, and the Lord Mayor, to urge upon them the importance of at once purchasing the Exhibition Palace grounds for a price to be settled by arbitrators mutually c hos en. The hon. gentleman then to inform the Chancellor of the Exchequer that e I:n e rd 4 mg was in Chancery, and that it might, if not at cow secured, slap into other hands. He expressed • hope that the government would reconsider the value of the site and building , and purchase it. Immediate action, he said, was necessary, and the people of Ireland were universally in favour of the site for the proposed institute. The Chancellor of the Exchequer mid he quite agreed that the site was a most valuable one, and that the government i had appointed two gentlemen to make • report as to its value, and their estimate was about that which the go vernment had first formed. They had, however, since appointed a commission to make a detailed report as to the practicability of converting the building, and he could not, therefore, give them an answer till they had received the report of the ommnission. Mr. Pim and several other gentlemen said • few words in support of the object, and the deputation withdrew. ST.
