The case which the Jnv had to try was as clear as any that eve► rime into that Court. The law of patent was as cannily to lorslootli that explanation might he deemed almost tropereettas. n no country was the byroad letellect so soectioandlY exerted in discovery and inventions as in Euglan• . there the successive ingenu►ty of individuals bad car• 'tied the arts, Or luxuries, the renveaiestes, and the romfArt it of mrcie'y to a point unknown in any other of the world, whether it wicket et is mailers dams.

A property more completely rested than that of patent eight hr defied any one to snip gest. Tltet•' was, however, one fundamental condition to the establishment oflhis epetiep of a right—that cons &ion wag, the novelty, Of folio* originality of the he ves:tion. To sustains Went, ;tiniest he shown that the ivy/ ration he new. Thr plaintiffs had obtained a patent fors certain instrument, of great utility in each as were afflicted with hermia, a very frequent complaint, and 4fioir generally known by the term—rupture. The plaintiffs. as it was alleged, had invented a certain r st•r•ing spring united to certain rids, aids male and hn male screws—fur which improvement or invention the proserntors laid claim to an exclusive privilege. The advantage obtained by this species of spring, especially in young patients, was the getting id of the great in convenience of snperfinons pressure, by which the pa• tirnt was with the ordinary truss liable to he injured. Now it so happened that a patent had been obtained by a Mr. Wows, ahout the year 1911, precisely for the .r..ry mow invention, as would be shown by the must in. coeirovert Hite evidence. • A variety of plates and drawings were then produced. hottregive of the strap and sprier. as differine or correspond ing 'with the invention end patent right claimed by the pleitdiffs.

Mr. Donl.in is used to mechanical trials respecting patents; has read Salmon's Specification. and tae original patent of the pisintilfs ; has compared them, and thinks the intention of the springs not dissimilar, but are strictly alike. There is no doubt that the pad is placed on the convex side. Hy the drawing it appears to be equivocal, but witness tins not the hoist doubt the pad was intended to be on the con sex side in both specifications. It would defeat the very otlect of t h e spring If It were earned the other way. Mr. Thomas Gill has examined the drawings and speeifl ea:ion.—'• Thereto a great similarity. I am sorry to say, be tween the two patents. The merit of the invention is in the spring, and in that they are precisely the same."—Witnesti was shown an advertisement of his that was published by him, when cougulted upon the subject of these patents.— Witness was employed to make out the defendants's specifi cation from instructions he received from him. Mr. John Millinaton, an engineer and mechanic, had read the enrolment of these Speelacatioas,and examined thedraw less. Thinks they are alike. and not dissimilar. Ilse no doubt to which aide the pad it affixed in both—on the con cave side when the truss is not ill action, but when put on it is ou the antvel.

It seems odd, that the word which God hint-elf gave nip...koala stand in need of the severe ar:n of the law ; of the unreasoning dungeon and lash, to defend it, seeing that it has all the supporters just mentioned. Dist this was what the Bishop said; and he said at the same time, thatfureter& none bet men of p•ent literary attainments were unbelievers. What that argued. the Bishop did not say. Ilowever, the jet of his srtnment was, that severity of laws was necessary to prerent the c*mmon people from becoming tatteliceers.—Well : the remedy has been tried : six acts were passed : sentence after sentence of uncommon severity have fallen noon the offenders : and the result is, that the sect of methodists, the sect of Ana baptists, the sect of Presbyterians, the sect of Unitarians, Muggletoniana, or which petitions. is still mere numerous, the sect of Smuggletonians, is not, at this day, better known or more openly avowed than the sectof the Deists! Such has been the result cf the efforts of the fore to preserve, ■ninjnred, this part and parcel of the law of the land. It is a fact, of which, per haps. the Ministers are not aware; but is fact very well worthy of their serious a'tention; supposing them to have a sincere desire to prevent the spread of deism; and that fact is, that precisely in proportion to the severity of the law in punishing of what has been sailed blasphemy, has been t►e increase of the number and the seal of the friends of the prosecuted parties. There have been, us the Bishop of LA\DA►r observed, Deistical writings in the country before: Nay, Mr. PAlNe's were in the roan• try before; and they were almost as completely forgotten (I mean his Deistical . writings) as if they had never been written. This fart is notorious ; and, see know that ithe book was not worth printing at the time dr. CAR. ma was first prosecuted. Since the trial, there have been printed not less than seven or eight editions of this work, some of them sold at a very low price, and proha. bly, alto ether not less titan forty-thousand copies of the work have been distributed since Mr. Canute went into his dungeon ; and especially since his wife and sis ter entered that place. The sentences on these two wo men, for whom men will feel in spite of all that can be said or done, have done mach more harm to the cause of the Christian religion in this country than ever was done by Mr. PaiNa or by all the Deistical wri!ers that went before bitn.W hat could we do with Mr. CARL. to then ? Bundle him out of jail, neck-and-heels. and bid him go anti speak where he liked. We will engage that he would not make so many proselytes in the coarse of his whole life-time as were made in one single day by Mrs. CanWLE, when we read that she hail been deli vered in a prison! That is the way to make proselytes to Deism !—On the trial of WADDINGTON, the Clllar Jerince was ask d, it appears, by one of the Jury, whe ther it were criminal to deny the Divinity of Jesus Coeur. According to the report his Lordship an swered in the a . firmatire. adding that it was miliaria to deny it is those words aid to ea/CHRIST an impostor. Good Goo! And Is this the way to uphold the Chris tian Religion! If his Lordship dirt answer in the athr melee, he most have forgotten the act of Primate SSIIII, which made it not to he criminal to impugn the sloctrios of Br* Trioity..which made it not criminal to deny the Divinity of Jeses CHRIST. And do not the Unitarians slimy it, and do not the Free-thinking Chris tians deny it is their pulpit every Sand ? An-i do not that favoured race the Jens deny it; anal, vet, alto isms much cherished as they are, who beer Nobles and even Royal Dukes to dine with them. The Jews, however,' are every bit as much Christians as the Unitarians are; many of them, we understand, do not know which of the two sects they belong to. Well then, is it nut as a ell to drop this prosecuting of this silly thing, which, were it not for prosecution, would be nothing ? It is a -little too much to hop►, however, and therefore we may as well, perhaps, keep our advice to ourselvee.—Wao oixoroN made one excellent observation; namely, that the Bishop of Clogher ha•l done more harm to the Chords than all the books that were evecweitten and pub lished by its enemies. We have received this morning Paris journals to the '2 11l instant. These papers bring intelligence from Spain, whirls no longer speaks of a general action, about • }dela there had been snch t‘ variety ofcontradictury re ports this week, but describes a series of skilful move ments, by which the Constitutionalists appear to hare gained as much ground, as if they bad defeated the In surgents in a great battle. betters from St. Jean•pied de Port, however, add, that a smart cannonade had been beard, and that it was highly probable that Irati was occupied by the Patriots. Four comp.inirs of the line, coining from Panmelnna, bad entered Vulcarlos, and taken the chief magazines of the Army of the Faith. the party left to guard them having dispersed itself, uithout a struggle, along the frontier. The plan of the Constitutionalists is smiti-to be to take possession of the Seo d'llrgel, and to drive the Pretended Recency back into Prance, ulthout raring for the Guerilla►, *Lich might fortu themselves iu their rear. The intelligence front Madrid comes down to the 11th instant. On the 10th a Deputation of the FAA, aonlinary Cortes presented an Address to the King in reply to the Royal Speech, in which they assured his Majesty. " toat they deplored with him the ravages occasioned by the civil war kind led in various provinces : that they would fain wish not to he compelled to use lire and sword to put a lamina tion to it, but go back to its origin, and eradicate the germ which had produced such bitter and destructive fruits ; but that they would not refuse to pay to the country the tribute which she claimed in her ;airtime, and certain of the enthusiasm with which the patriot. ism of the Spanish people would face the present wants, they would vote the proposed segmentation of the va liant sad patrlotie permanent army, the arming and im proved organization of time active Slilitia, ao•l the sums necessary to support enterprises the object of which was to consolidate the liberties, the glory. the tranquillity, end the happiness of the nation which they represented." In another part of this Address, the. Cortes promise to moist the king "in causi ng the Spanish name to be respected by all the powers, and in extenm;ing saleable relations with all the Slates with whom suck relations were beeimming, and especially with those possessed of free institutions l and of interests neat to those of Spain." These papers also contain intelligence highly favourable to the cause of Greece. An article from Angshurgh says :—" We have received, by 'Trieste, news from the Mores to the H.d of September.
