(Hear, hear.) In the edict corn settee, the subject had come under discussion, and the Lord Chancellor (Lord Campbell) bad assured them that the sinks transferred were fully provided for, and that the word."( the act were amply sufficient for their protection. The words weir that they were to receive their full salaries es nearly as might he out of the name Nods.

He Led known el sees in which a manufacturer had admetised a caution sualeet the forgery of ha mark, and in which the forger had straightway retorted by advertisements, stating that ids goods were the genuine 00114 and that the rml 'wakened the articles were fraudulent imitators.

IGItTESCUE would be glad to lay upon the table of the house without delay the papers for which hie hon. friend had called, sod he thought it was only richt that the Parliament of England should have in its possession an authentic account of the heroism and devotion which had added to the vast territories of the British crown, and provided space for new and flourishing oolonies. The interest felt in the colonies own this matter had been op great, that not only had a fresh expedition been sent from Victoria, but it had been accompanied by separate expeditious from Southern Australia, from Queensland, and from the Gulf ' of Carpentaria itself, where a still= sloop had been pro. vided to aid the search.

Sir G. C. LEWIS said he led easenaled with the military authorities, sad it appeared to aim very doubtful whether it would be possible to malts say arrangement' on the sub. ject which would be effective is prevesting these outrages, because there wee now very freepost practice with ball cartridge in most regiment', sad it wee also necessary to serve out cartridges to soldien who were on guard, on esoort, or on other similar duties. It would be easy for any person who was ill-disposed to secrete • single ball.cartridge, and it would be almost impoosible, by any vigilance, to make it certain that the exact number *erred out had been returoed to store. tinder theme circumstances he had not thought proper to advise the authorities at the Horse fluxed' to make any regulation on the subject. However, the go vernment had under consideration an alteration in the law, by which in the ass of murder committed by private soldiers on their superior dhows the trial and punishment should follow the offence more speedily than it did under the present procedure—(bear, hear) —and he trusted a bill might be lad on the table of the house shortly with that VW,. (Hear, hear.) THE AMERICAN BLOCKADE. Lord B.

Mr. LAY AHD replied that the papers were being pre pared. sad would be laid on the table at the end of next week or early in the week following. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. Mr. BLACKBURN 'eked the hon. member for Poeta fniet whetber, se his Marriages of Affinity Bill intends to Inland and Scotland, it was his intention to proceed with the mooodreading on so early a day as to-morrow (this day). Mr. M. MIL.NEd said it was now about a week Mime be had given notice, in the most public, manner he could, of his lineation to secede to the desire of some honourable Ct . He . thought that e tha bi ll t should t i t " ex s a te w ad e e ek's to not was amply sufficient. Arrangement" had been made so that it would be impossible for him to giant any further postponement of the measure. TRADE MARKS. The house having gone into committee, Mr. ROEBUCK moved for leave to bring in • bill to amend the law relating to trade marks. Many menu lecturers of this country had, by dint of industry and skill, acquired far themselves great reputation. A men acquired a reputation, he would say, lot the manufactuie of keno+. sow, when he wished to sell those knives, be wished the buyer to usderstaed that they were maculae. tared by him, and sot only put his name es the article, but also a mark. or symbol, soul that mark or symbol was called • trade mark. From time to time that went on, the article was so manufactured and so marked, and the mark acquired • mosey value. sow, all he wanted to do was to rs"s to the manufacturer his murk or ayin- His own proposal was to visit the forger* of trade marks with summary conviction ; and to make the °met alloid reciprocal with other nations, so that the goods ei every foreign manufacturer should be reelected, if his country protected the 'cods (of Luglishinee, but not otherwise. The bill would do no harm to any one but rogues. (Cheers.) Mr. 4: UPSON was quite willing to adopt the sugges tion of his hoc. mad learned friend, and to refer his in. tended measure to the sense select committee. A ball on this subject had lad year passed the House of Leeds. but it could not be proceeded with any furthers:Aries to • we'd, of information in this house on the subject; and thwe was out time lust year to eppoiuta cum mittee of ionatigatioe. The object was nee upon which they were all agreed, but it was extremely difficult to effect what they had in view without espueing ionooeut peisoue to peosecutima of a vexatious character. It would also be very difficult to say what • trails mark was, so that • justice of the peace, to whom it was proposed to give jurisilictiou, might be able to my whether A. B. was entitled to the ex. elusive use of the symbol he claimed. It would not be suf ficient for • per-sou to ,how that he had used a particular but he mint show that he had so used it that it heroine known to the world as hie. With regent to the femme question, be could art my that the retaliatory clause which the boo. and learned gentlernau proposed mewed to Lim judicious. It appeared to Lim that it would he better to give the foreiguer the benefit of our laws, without refereoce to Low they treated as in return. It was said that foreigners hail ahcaily the benefit of oar laws, but that those foes were so Ird WI to be useless to them. At the stuns time, unless the experiment of attempting • prosecution, my, in Prussia, had actually been tried, it could not he said that Prussia refused our manufacturers redress. It did not appear to him that the registratiou of trade marks would benf any benefit. It was altogether a different cad from the registration of designs. That was intended to create • sew species of property ; whereas the bill would neither create a new property nor iutroduce a 1143 W law ; fur it was already illegal to appro priate another man, mark. A registration, therefore, would rather be a new obstacle thrown is the way of menu lecturers, because it would require them to pay smile tee or to go through some additional form before they could take steps to defend their rights. TIROS were, however, all matters of detail, which it would be wrong to discuss at present. The go. vernmeut were entirely of opinion that something should be d o s to remedy the evils complained of, provided only that it could la done 'without exposing innocent persons to frivolous and vexatious prowieutions. (Neer, hear.) Mr. CRAP, Ultl) said his constituents in the City were chiefly interested in the bill, SO far as it would render them liable to prosecution for innocently selling articles which had fraudulent trade marks ripen them ; and he was glad, therefore, to hear thatthey would have an opportunity snowed them of stating their views to a select committee. Mr. LOCKE agreed with the him. and learned gentleman the member for Sheffield; but there was another fraud to which attention should Le straws, namely, the practice of manufacturers themselves putting false trade marks upon their goods. For example, a case had occurred in the Court rif Queen's Beech, where • manufacturer hail labelled his comma as of • greater length than was really the fect. He (Mr. Lcke) had been in Parts while Mr. Cobden was De. raiding the commercial treaty, and he learned from the secretary of that boa. gentleman that the greatest difficulty had bee* experienced in attempting to settle the gumlike of I Made marks, in couesqueniee of the practice which ob- SEWAGE OF TOWN& Mr. BRADY morel fore select committee to inquire into the beet means of utilising the sewage of the cities and towns of England, with a view to the reduction of local taxation, and the benefit of agriculture. He said if his motion were agreed to he should have to show to the committee that the wrings of towns yielded a valuable commodity, which would tend to improve meet in an agricultanl paint of view, and ha should have to ascertain the best sad cheapest means by which that commodity *add be pissed apes the laud. Mr. POLLARD-HWY RA.RT seconded the motion. 00WYER said that the utilisation of sewage—that was, the carry* It away from towns for the of agriculture had long bees a problem paned by all persona interested in the sanitary improvement of towns. . The late board of health had made many inquiries and vain able reports upon the subject, but hitherto very little pro gress had been made, for although the sewage of smell towns under 'pedal circumstances could be advantageously applied to sericulture, as in the Wed of Rugby and Wat ford, and the very remarkable and peculiar case of Rehm burgh, yet with regard to large towns science had failed in finding any system which was entirely satisfactory. He was not very sanguine that this breach of engineering and sanitary science was likely to obtain much moist mum from the labours of a committee, yet as the hoe. gentleman was willing to undertake that inquiry, and ea he had shown by an elaborate speech that thesubject was one requiring investigation, be thought there would be no objection to the appointment of a committee, and he hoped that some light would be thrown upon this very im portant question is the sittings of the committee, which aright render them not altogether fruitless.

THE FOUL SALAAM TRADE WITH FRANCE. The late seizure at Berwick of several boxes of unwholesome salmon, on their way to Boulogne and Paris, was followed up by the discovery, though too late, at a much larger tranaactiou. On Friday, when Mr. Smut , - thwaite, the superintendent of the river police, happened to be at Galaehiels, sixteen empty fish-boxes arrived at that statism, each box bearing a ticket, on which was writteu, " Returned empty salmon-hos. ' Mr. James Hall, fish merchant, Bridge•street, Galashiels, Scotland." And on the other side of the cant was printed, " 1130, Fau bourg St. DtlDill, Paris. L. Coffre, Commissioonaire la Mane." Mr. Hall declared he had no knowledge of the boxes, and refused to receive them ; so that they have now become tho property of the railway company. The whole of the sixteen boxes were precisely the saute in material, aim, and construction as the full boxes seized at Berwick. They had carried to France at last a tam and a half of foul salmon, killed by poachers during the breeding season, and while in a coodition utterly unfit fur human food. VI ben transactious on such a scale are detected as carried on at Galashiels, it may cer tainly be concluded that the undetected transactions of the same kind elsewhere involve au enormous amount of rob bery and waste. All this, too, takes place in spite of a greatly improved method of protecting the river, and of a consequent rdeclioe in the amount of depredations. It has also to be noted that the operation of the English Fisheries Act of last year has already almost entirely cut off whatever market fur this vile commodity there formerly existed In England. The main root of the evil is now the demand iu France, and our French neigh bours, for their own sakes even more than for ours, ought to look to it. It is strange that when so much is doing in France, both by the government and by associations of lei- Tate persons to protect, improve, and revive the French fisheries, France should yet Do the chief cause or temptation in the destruction of the Scotch fisheries, and should allow her population to be poisoned with uneaten] and pernicious food, such as nobody dare vend or could be induced to taste if procured from any French fishery. It is to be hoped that the matter will nowreeeive attention in the proper quarters, and be met by the proper remedies, which are at once easy and effective.— Scotsman.

This was an action to recover damages for injuries sus tained in consequence of the train running off the line at the Epsom junction on the 28th January last year, on which °coulee Dr. Daly unfortunately met his death. Mr. Ilse=ley, Mr. Mouldy, sod Mr. Hindmarch appeared for the plaintiff • sod Mr. BovW, Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Johnson for the 'defendants. . . . -- The plaintiff was a woollen factor, carrying on business in King-street, Cheapside, and on the occasion In question he was travelling in the course of his ;milieu along the defendant.' hoe to Portsmouth. The train consisted of ten carriages, the plaintiff being in the Moth one from the engine, Dr. Holy being in the fifth one. The great question in the cause was whether the carriage. bad run off the line in con sequence of any fault upon the part of the company so as to render them liable, or whether It was a pure accident without there being anyone to blame. The plaintiff's counsel said he should contend that there were fudge in reference to the condition of the permanent way ; the gauge was not worst., the proper degree of superelevation of one rail over the other round the curve was not pre. served, and he should show that the defects bad been brought to the knowledge of the company before the acci dent, and they had directed the drivers to proceed slowly over the defective portions of the line. Notwithstanding this, be should be able to show that the train, when the accident happened, was going at the rate of 35 miles an hoar. After the accident it was found that one of the middle pair of wheels of the tender was defective, in this way, that the tire having become worn had nodergone repair, and the WIWI or bolta to fasten the tire to the other part of the wheal had not got sufficient hold. After the accident It was found that there was some displacement of the the of this wheel, and on ita being taken off it was seen that it had bees so loose that it had sli pp ed round upon the wheeL There wield be evidence pro and coo as to whether this Milmwheel w the one which first got off the mil. grt as i r t Fiat which be should contend constituted negli geea wee this, that there was only ow break-euriage out of the tea, and that this break, instead of bring at the end, was affixed to the Joann carriage. This was done in order to facilitate the dropping of carriages at places along the line, bat this, he should submit, was no adequate pound for adopting a plan which was dangerous. In the canna of the accident the first four carriages broke away from the remainder ; and he should coated that if there had been break power attached to the last carriege, the injury to the plaintiff would probably not have ter urred, for the carriages left could have been brought up by the use of the break power. In reference to the question et damages, it was stated that the plaintiff, feeling a sudden jerk, exelaimed. " Goad gracious, the carriage is off," and that he was immediately hurled over, and lost his seams. When examised by a medical man it was found that two ribs were broken en his right side, his left shoulder blade was inlaid, his chest was very mush hedged, sad his left shoulder wee brakes. He was under the doctor's special care for ten weeks, and for a considerably longer palled he replied atteescleace, and was usable to superintend his busisem Before the aceideat he was • strong and healthy mom but dace then he had been exceedingly nervous sad irritable. his eyesight had become defective, sad he had not niece been able perfectly to use his ann, nor was his shoulder quite in the position in which it should be.

Bittiap at Nisi Prins in Loadoe.—(l3dore Mr. Justice Bytes and a Common Jury.) ALM. V. MIMI. —TELOVLS FOR ItACIROBSZIL This wee an action of *rover to mover possession of :two racehorses, named Meioses and Nimrod. Mr. Hawkins sad Me. Keane appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. M. Beath for the defendant. The eirmixestances out of which the action arose were the.. :—Mr. Coeingbarn was a gentleman residing in Booth ampton-street, Bloomsbury-square, and in 1839 be aim the owner of Magenta, which he sent to Fnusee in charge of • puma named Burrows, who wee to train and nut him upon the terms of paying all expenses and handing over to Mr. Coningham one-third of the winnings. In 'MO Mr. Ociainghain bought Nimrod, and this hone was Owed with Burrows upon the same terms. On the 164 March Burrows went with the horses to the Wheanhaef lan, at Westbury, which was kept by the defendant, and the hones remained them until October following. In Sept. Coningbam sold the horses for 2101. to the plaintiff, and when the plaintiff demanded the hones of the defendant a lien was claimed upon them for 30 weeks' keep of the horses at W. • week, and board for • man to at tend upon them at if. a week. The total amount of the bill wee 1101., but from this there waa • dada°• tion of 131. las. on account of time when the horses were shunt from the inn. The plaintiff disputed the defendant's right to retain the hones, but the defendant refusing to deliver them up without payment, the present action wu brought to recover th em. ' His lordship said that the question whether the defend ant bad • lien upon the animals wee one of law for him. Mr. M. Smith intimated that in addition he should like to have some evidence to show that the plaintiff was the owner of the bones. Mr. Comegham was examined, and he stated that he had sold the horses to Mr. Allen ; and • letter of his was put in, in which, after stating that be bad sold the hones, he threatened proceedings against Burrows, saying, " I will give him an opportunity of appearing in the witness-box before a big wig." (Laughter.) His lordship expressed his opinion that there was proof of ownership ; and, after some discussion, he said he should reserve the question of law for the court ; but added, that at present it seemed to him that the question whether the defendant had a !ien depended upon whether the horse, were an accessory to Burrows, who went to the inn with them, or whether he woe an to the horses. (A laugh.) A verdict was entered for the plaiutiff, subject to the opinion of the court. COURT OF RXCHEQUER.-FEE. 18. Sittings at Nisi Priwi at Guildhall.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Special Juries.) uLTALI, 4. HIGBY.-PORTRAITS OF EMINENT PFItEOMAGEB. _ _ The first count of the declaration stated that the plaintiff, John Jabez Edward Mayan, sued the defendant, Joseph Higby, for the unlawful detention of the plaintiff's goods --to wit, certain photographic portraits and negatives ; and the second count charged the defendant with unlawfully printing reduced copies of the same to the plaintiff's detri ment. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and other pleas denying the plaintiff's title to the property in question. Mr. Vaughan Williams and Mr. Robertson Blaine were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Montague Smith and Mr. Aspland represented the defendant. It appeared from the case for the plaintiff, Mr. Mayan, the well.known photographer of Regent-street, that when Mr. John Tanis projected the publication of the Illustrated News of Ole World, the latter called upon him for the pur pose of requesting him to lend him some photographic por traits of eminent personages, with a stew to their being engraved by Mr. Pound for publication as a series of por traits in couuezion with that journal. Heat once assented, and had from time to time supplied Mr. Tanis with the photographs, the understand ing being that they should be returned when required, and that Mr. Mayan's name should be at the bottom of each engraving. Amongst theae portraits were those of the Prince of Viales, Lord Brougham, the late Bishop of Durham, Sir John Pakingtoa, and others, to the number of about MO. Mr. Tanis became bankrupt in April last, but the newspaper bed been carried on by asaignees, and in consequence the plaintiff had not applied for the re- • turn of hie photographs, feeling that he had an ownership ! in them. Ile subsequently discovered that a large portion • of them had bees sold to the defendant, who resides in Pimlico, and had published reduced copies of tho carte de ' visite size, and he then applied for a return of his photo graphs, and on that being declined had offered to purchase thorn from the defendant, with the view of avoiding litiga tion. As terms could not be come to during two interviews with the defendant, the plaintiff applied for an injunction to Mr. Baron Bramwell at chambers, to restrain the de fendant from publication, and obtained it mail the present actiou to try his right had been determined. The Lord Chief Baron, in suminiug up, said that Mr. Mayan's title to the photographs , which he had lent Mr. Tanis, was quite clear, and the 1.14001311 were quite wrong in selling them. He thought the proper course for them would be that they should give what damages they thought fit on that part of the case, to be reduced to ls. if the defendant returned all the portraits which be had pun, chimed from the assignees. There was another matter which would be reserved for the opinion of the court. The plain tiff claimed • sort of authorship in his photographs, such as a painter might claim in his paintings, or an engraver in has engravings; but it was • matter of difficulty and .doubt what common law right existed in the authorship of works of genius, such as • painting or an engraving, or • sermon or a lecture. It had been clearly settled that if • student attended a lecture and could take it down in shorthand—he referred to Abereethv's lecture—he had • right to publish it, and anything which was uttered in the come of 01:0•111111111i0li, however brilliant it might be, could, if taken dews, be put into any magazine or other publication. It had been said that • man had a sort of copyright in his own faco—(laughter)—and that if he had his picture taken it could sot be published without his consent; but be doubted if • person who could take the likeness of another, in the jury-box or witness. box for instance, would not be at perfect liberty to publish it, if he thought It worth his while. (Laughter.) If • man had • house, and a drawing or • photograph were taken of it, he could not lay, " I have paid au eminent architect 100 guineas for • plea of my house, and I will I allow no one to publish it." On this benne\ of the case it should, however, be takes for the present that the plaintiff bad a right to protect bis works, and that no one had a right to publish a smaller copy of them. They would, therefore, say what they would give in the wayof damages, sou to ware the return of the photographs purchased by the defendant of Tallis's assignees, and what tbeywould give in the way of damages for the injury sustained by the plaintiff by the publication of the reduced copies. The jury awarded26l, to secure the return of the plaint4fra photographs, sod 40s. to their republic:diva bytke defendant at the reduced cows. His Lordship reserved leave to the defendant to move the court as to the plaintiff's right to recover on the latter branch of the case, and certified for a special jury. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Yu. 18. (Before Mr. Commiesioaer Habort.) IN ILI IIF-NET ST E. HL Honour directed an adjournmentfor further accounts. ut rzrza 110118110N.—PReCLANATION 01 ourcAvrat. The bankrupt was the well-known manager of the Bank of Deposit. This was the lett examination meeting, which bad been appointed before the resolution passed at the last sitting for winding up the estate privately, but which reso lution the court declined to confirm. Kr. Linklater, on behalf of a creditor named Chapman, tendered a proof for 200/. in respect of money deposited in the National Assurance Ameciatioa. The proof had been rejected by the registrar ; but it was contended that he had no right to deal with disputed proofs. The company was not an incorporated company and the form of the receipts given for deposits made the depositors unwittingly partners in the company. Here the wife had made the deposit, and as the husband vu not aware of the conditions, and the money was his, it was contended that he had a right of proof. Mr. Lewis, for the assignees, resisted the proof, on the pound that the . proceedings bad been suspended by reso lution of the creditors. Mr. Linklater said he only sought at present to put a claim on the proceedings. He submitted that, as this was the day appointed for the last examination, and as the bankrupt had not surrendered, he had brought himself within the penal clauses of the new act, and was liable to be iodicted and punished for a misdemeanor. His Honour said that the 110th section, under which the resolution was passed, must be taken altogether ; ad . by the latter portion the bankrupt was bound to make a full disclosure of his estate. If he were allowed to defer this for an indefinite period, it might be a means of evading the law altogether. The court was anxious to give full effect to the resolution of the creditors, but its jurisdiction still continued, sou to prevent injustice being , done under its process. Under other sections the court had large jurisdiction reserved to it in cases taken out of the court, sod these sections might be called in aid of the one under which they were now proceeding. The words of the 137th section were very strong, and empowered the court to set aside any resolution if fraught with injustice. This did not appear to be the case here ; but as the bankruptcy was not suspended for all purposes, as the bankrupt had not surrendered, and made no excuse for omitting to do so, the ordinary steps must be taken. He might afterwards apply to be allowed to surrender, and could then urge on his behalf the resolution of the creditors. The proof tee- I dried by Mr. Unklater would be admitted as a claim, giving the creditor the right to be heard on the last examination and the order of discharge. The bankrupt was then proclaimed an outlaw in the usual form, the messenger calling him three times outside the court. (Before Mr. Registrar Haalitt.) Ilf 11.1 T. O. MIDIS. The bankrupt was a leather-merchant, described as et Ounberwell, but his dealings had been chiefly in Paris, where he had beau placed by Mr. Laurence (of the firm of Btreatieild and Co.), to facilitate their discount operations. This was the last examination meeting. The liabilities are stated at 40,0001. ' • assets of trifling amount. The bankrupt has not surrende red, end of course no accounts had been filed. Mr. Brandon, for the assignees, asked that the bankrupt might be proclaimed, which was ordered, and a warrant was granted for the apprehension of the bankrupt. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL.

The yarn market is very strong to-day for all kinds, and for weft sip to 50's and twist to 40's spinners hare de mended • rise of gd. to Id. per lb., in consequence of the advance in the price of cotton ; but this has ma terially checked business, which otherwise promised to be rather brisk. The demand has been for India, Germany, the Mediterranean, and the home trade. China merchants are still out of the market. Tele graphed amounts from Calcutta have been received to the 119th January, and are considered more favourable then these lately to head, intelligence having been received there of the pacific termination of the American affair on that day. This !has given increased strength to our yarn market. In the cloth market this morning, owing to the advanced prior of cotton and yarns, higher rates have been demanded for good, of every description, but up to the class of haziness buyers did not appear disposed to respond to this attempt to place the prices of cloths on a more satisfactory basis. India cloths were somewhat strengthened by the telegrams above alluded to from Calcutta, which state that shirtings there had advanced 3d. to 44d. per piece. There is some doubt as to whether this advance had not taken place before the arrival there of the American news, and if so it is thought that next &deices will show still more satisfactorily. The business here in cloth has been very small in all descriptions, but sellers areholdieg with firmness, from &growing expectation that cloths will yet undergo aeon. siderable advance, as production is becoming less every day. How far our manufacturers are now directing their atten tion to the use of Indian staples it would be difficult at pre sent to ascertain, because the purchases at Liverpool, which have shown a great increase recently, are partly for export sad partly on speculation, causing up to Fr ida y a rise in value last week of about id. per lb. The sales of Bursts last Thursday were 10,000 bales, on Friday 12,000 bales, on Saturday 6,000 bales, and yesterday (Monday) 8,000 ; making a total of 36,000 halm, a quantity quite unprece dented. The genially taken for consumption in this country from the let Jannery to the 7th of the present month was five times the quantity taken during the name period of last year; and the large purchases above referred to within the last few days indicate a large increase in its consumption. - corroN.—lavirarooL, Fes. 18.—Our market is very steady, at previous prices, with a moderate banner.
