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.

OUR PARIS LETTER.

(MOW ova OWN 0011RNOPONDENT.)
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 Frpr-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.:

Tho royal family of Belgium is established at
Luken, by whom were received on Saturday last too
hereditary Prince Louis of Hesse-Darmstadt and the
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

EQUITY COURT.
(Before Vice-Cluincellor Sir G. M. Giffard.)

THE WINDVOR REVIEW.
111,. Vice-thanevllor, ou being informed by Mr. Wal-
e.. k that the Lord Chancellor had ordered the offices to
early on Saturday, in order to enahlo volunteers
others to attend the Windsor review, said he would
11,, it 12 o'clock on Saturday with the same object.

In ?day, 1865, thei)laintifi, Mr. ITullin, who is • sur-
rt, n-d. iitist, carrying ou business in Chester, having
for the services of a junior mechanical issistant,
i.tcred into an agreement with the defendant, Henry
jc.•.e. to become las assistant, and Teeee entered into a
, aunt not to practice for fourteen years as
aciotal surgeon or mechanical dentist, either on
!.. amount, or as an assistant to anyone else,
~:lain sixteen miles by the nearest road from the Cross,
the city of Chester, or in any place within the boun-
, .new of the borough of Ilirkenhead, under • penalty of
Mr. Tecce remained in Mr. service for _ . a _

a months only, and in February, 1968, he wrot;i-Ofir.
from Exeter, asking for a copy of the
: _reement, as he was taking a pupil. The
I:.ilutiff sent a copy of the agreement to the
criendant's solicitor, and soon after received a letter
stating that Mr. Teem was very anxious to practise in
Chester, and asking the plaintiff to waive the penaltyon the
ground of his having employed the defendant for a few
months only, instead of for three or four years, as the de-
fendant was led to expect. In March last, the defendant,
ly his solicitors, wrote to say he had made up his mind to
~,mmence practice at Chester, and he had since put up a
I riss plate with the name "Mr. H. Teece,
iitist,'' at a house No. 16, Grosvenor-street, Chester,
ohs re it was proved that he had soon at least
,nr patient, and received a foe. On the sth of June the
,intiff filled this bill for an injunction to restrain the
taLint from practising as a dentist, or a dentist's
within the above limits.

Al r. W. M. James, Q.C., and Mr. Bristowe appeared

lII.IX ALLAH C. nal DAILY TELEOLPH.
71 o was the sixth day of the trial, and as the case
rtou, public interest increases, everyone being anxious
wileu the verdict will be given. That is now the
point of the hour.

learned counsel appeared yon the previous

r-,leritlffe, Q. C., in resuming his address to the_ jury,
i When I concluded my remarks last night I had en-
c. :;.nr...1 to give you a fair and candid statement which
=az. dealing in all fairness and truth with all the

do. and drew the conclusion that if the Daily
bad confined itself, speaking generally, within
iu which I confined -myself yesterday,
I n.: no more than it had a perfect nght to do,
a- .I,,wn by the learned judges of the land. But of
c a grad deal of the force of my contention is whether
I t :k. but the second branch of my proposition. I will
Limine what is said to be the libel, and in doing so
I 14.1.... e to comment on all the passages referred to by
beijeaut Parry as well as others to which he had not
rn a, but which are greatly in the plaintiff's favour,
: f h.ac to see how far they
which_'.Le without being a strictly
; -ia:im report, is admitted by the plaintiff, on the whole,
t 1-.., ,ulsdantially fair report, and if I find it is really
:::j.pertf.l in the main by that which is admitted to
a fair and candid account, then the second
of my proposition is made out, that
comments are fair and reasonable. We are dealing
a :Li the account of a trial in which the public interest
attune. and in which the fortunes of the prisoner and
pfosfeution varied from day to day. The Daily
7-'-;,aph attempted to deal with, and, so far as I know,
e.......qullygave a fair reflection of the opinions of thepass-
g le..i:eut. In order to form a candid judgment on a report
over many days, and respecting which public
g fluctuated so much, it is necessary not to
1.• line and a half here :and a line and a half there,
1... k at it as a whole, and see whether it was a
1,41.1.4 an uncandid report of what took place. The
:Th•rt, have been characterised as sensational. There

q.uoly a great deal in them, such as a
