Bei. ween such parties as these there can be no interchange of ideas and no reci procity of interests ; and as there can be no dealings between them, there can be no freedom of trade in any sense analogous to that great commercial doc trine to which reference has been made. But even under the present patent laws, as they exist in every part of the Old and New World, there is already something approaching to freedom of trade. Every foreigner can obtain a patent in England on the same terms as an Englishman, and an Englishman enjoys a similar right in return. The producers of ideas, therefore, are in every country in the same re lative position nearly as the producers of those com modities which are interchanged under free trade— the non-producers of ideas and the non-producers of commodities deriving analogous advantages under the law—the one from the importation of useful in ventions, and the other from the importation of the necessaries and luxuries of life. There is still, how ever, another variety of free trade in inventions which we think is the only one that deserves the name. Were a patent right granted at the cost merely of its registration to every applicant, and continued with equal security during the same _ _ ieriod as copyright, every new idea—every scheme of ingenuity or adventure—would be brought be fore the public, and elaborated for the use of man. Such a scheme may be expected in some future age, when statesmen may have learned to face problems before which they now quail, and appreciate inte rests to which they are now insensible." 61=--Z e- ~2-~- PRICE..... -..4d. STAMPED ....sd. anti-fouling compositions, when on lengthened 1 foreign service, by the destruction of the compo sition and subsequent corrosion of the plates and rivet heads, together with the necessity for meeting the threatened want of increased dock accommoda tion for our iron ships as speedily and effectively as possib;e, has induced the Admiralty to devote their immediate endeavours to find some means to render this docking of iron ships for cleaning and re coating their bottoms as seldom requisite as possible. Mr. Griffiths has laid before the Admiralty a plan for sheathing the bottoms of iron ships with Muntz metal, using a non-conducting material between the protecting metal and the iron-bottom plates, and has received an order to sheath a small iron vessel on this plan as an experiment. The Controller of the Admiralty has also called upon Mr. Hay, b c a h o temtmoomids model l t o o fo fi t r h oh e ni s ß v o pe a sr r so d epl , os s t we o di s end in to the Admiralty t hplan copperf o r s r hea Muntzh in g t h metal.e This plan was first submitted to the notice of the L A o dm rd i A r a u l t c y k l o a n n the d at a i annual d v , i a s i o t moef yearst h e B since,oard , with an d was discussed by the Board on their return to Lon don, but its adoption was declined. The decision had just then been arrived at that iron ships were quite useless as men-of-war or Government screw troopships, and that it was even desirable to get rid of the very few that then were on the navy list. Other plans besides those of Mr. Hay and Mr. Griffiths are also before the Admiralty, all seeking to attain the same end, although by different means, several resorting to the process of electro-typing in preference to applying temperary compositions, or the ordinary method of protecting wooden ships by sheets of copper. The two more prominent of these last are known as the "Besley" and " Walen" pro cesses. Both profess to deposit a pure metal, or a combination of metals, by an alkaline process in lieu of the old acid process. The Besley process is already partially adopted.by the Admiralty at Portsmouth, tanks and batteries now being at work over the steam factory of Portsmouth dockyard, depositing a coating of metal on the iron bolts that are to be used for fastening the armour plates on the sides of the Royal Alfred and Royal Sovereign. The success as yet has not been great ; in fact the alkaline pro cess as developed by the Besley system is, owing to 1 some cause, slow, and may possibly yet be super seded by the original acid bath. The Walen alkaline process is represented by the floating dock in the Victoria Docks, and its effectual success there seems to be placed beyond a doubt. Mr. Walen claims, as the merits of his invention, that he can rapidly precipitate a pure metal, or a combination of metals, upon iron of any uneven form, with a perfectly even, bright surface, of any thickness, and indestructible as the metal upon which it is deposited. Mr. Walen, while proposing very much that is evidently simple and practicable, and which will doubtless be carried out with little delay, relative to the preservation of our iron ships in their construction, goes much further than this, and advocates the adaptation of one of the new docks now constructing as a huge bath, in which an iron ship, when delivered to Go vernment by the contractors, might be at once re ceived, and coated as far above the water line as required, by one process, with an imperishable co vering of copper or other protective metal. Whether all or any of these plans should be definitively adopted by the Admiralty, time and experience can alone decide. The Government property on which it is intended to erect a suitable and commodious hospital for the exclusive reception of the sick wives and children of the troops quartered at Chatham garrison has bean taken possession of by Mr. A. Stump, the contractor to the War Department. Workmen have already commenced the excavations for the foun dations of the new structure. The hospital will be erected in an elevated and healthy situation, be tween Chatham Barracks and the inner lines, and will form a continuation of the garrison hospital, although detached from that building. The main building will be 150 ft. in length and of propor tionate depth. The interior will be fitted up in a similar manner to Melville Hospital for seamen and marines at Chatham, which is considered one of the best institutions of the kind in the kingdom. The want of a hospital for women and children has long been felt at Chatham. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Russell G. S. Pasley, Flag Lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Kingcome, Com mander-in-Chief in the Pacific; James R. G. Browne, paymaster, to be Secretary to Rear-Admi ral Kingcome; W.E.

A Memoir of John Wilson, late Professor of Moral Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh. Compiled from Family Papers and other sources. By his Daughter, Mrs. Gordon. 2 Vols. Edmonston and Douglas, Edinburgh. The life of a great man, truthfully told, is at all times agreeable reading, and the character of few among the literary giants of whom death of late years has deprived us will better bear examination in the broad light of day than that of the subject of the present memoir; and this because his nature, mental, moral, and physical, was a peculiarly healthy one. In him there was nothing morbid. If ever a soand mind in a sound body was possessed by man it was his. Nature cast him in a colossal mould. He was throughout life a strong man re joicing in his strength, though occasionally, in the early part of his literary career, he used it "like a giant," tyrannically. He reminds us in vital power of one of the Scandinavian heroes. He was a so r t of literary Berserker. When the fit was on him he wielded the pen like the hammer of Thor, smiting his adversaries hip and thigh, rejoicing like the war-horse at the sound of battle, revelling in carnage like a Goth of old. But this is true rather of his first efforts, when Blackwood was in its youth, and its writers had much of youth's in temperance and lack of self-control. Much, also, must be laid to the spirit of the time. Manners then were coarse. Mud conflicts were not confined to scavengers. Personality was considered legitimate in literary warfare. No man's private character was respected. And the poisoned arrow of calumny was too often launched at ,a political opponent. But these faults Professor Wilson outlived. As he grew in years so he increased, not alone in knowledge, but in that better part of wisdom, charity. He then nobly redeemed his early errors, rendered full justice to his former foes, and, crowned with years and honours, died in peace with all men. Nothing proves more clearly the tolerant spirit with which he latterly regarded those of an opposite political creed than his rising almost from a sick bed within two years of his death, and proceeding to Edin burgh to vote for Macaulay. His was a noble nature, passionate and prompt in utterance, but free from all taint of malice, His soul was too great for envy, and he poured forth his thick thronging fancies with a fervid eloquence which stirs the reader as with the trumpet's sound. His prose is indeed composed of " thoughts that breathe, and words that burn." We prefer it even to his poetry, inasmuch as, unfettered by rhyme, he can express in it the exuberance of his nature with unbounded freedom. His is no narrow, cold, correct style, but one teeming with wealth, and resembling the fruitful earth in pro digal liberality. The eldest son of a wealthy re tired gauze manufacturer, he was born at Paisley, in 1785, and was remarkable, as a child, for beauty and talent. After attending a preparatory school he entered Glasgow College, whence he removed to Oxford. Here he distinguished him self no less by supremacy in all athletic exercises than for his classical attainments; but this period of his life appears to have been embittered by an unhappy love affair, which unsettled his mind, and, after roaming restlessly about Wales and the Highlands, he bought a small estate called Ellerlay, near Windermere, took up his abode there, and in 1811 married a Miss Penny. Prior to this he had written " The Isle of Palms" and other poems, and as his father had left him a fortune of £50,000, his worldly position was a pros perous one. But a reverse took place. His uncle, in whose hands the property had been entrusted, lost it all by imprudent speculations, and Wilson found himself penniless. Nothing daunted, how ever, he entered at the bar, but soon found it an uncongenial calling; and, after contributing some articles to the Edinburgh Review, then in the zenith of its fame under Jeffrey, he transferred himself to Blackwood, of which, up to the close of his life, ho formed the main support. In 1820 the chair of Moral Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh falling vacant, he became a candidate, after a fierce contest obtained it, and held it till 1851, when his declining health forced him to resign it. He was then awarded a Government pension of £3OO a year, and in 1854 he expired from a stroke of para lysis. Such is a brief sketch of his career, during the greater part of which he was constantly before the public as a writer and a teacher, being emi nently successful in both,whilst his domestic life was peculiarly happy. He seems to have been gifted in no ordinary measure with the faculty of acquir ing the love and esteem of those with whom ho came personally in contact, and we find scattered through these volumes numerous anecdotes of his kindness of heart and integrity of aim. Indeed his letters, of which many, written at all periods of his life, are given, amply illustrates these points of his character. He is a rare example, too, in these modern days, of the union of great physical power and love of sport, with literary genius. Homer would have delighted in him. The deer-stealing Shakspere would have claimed him as a kindred spirit. Not only was he passionately fond of cock fighting and angling, but he excelled in leaping, wrestling, boxing, rowing, and walking. Among " muscular Christians" he deserves the foremost place. Still, in private life, he was one of the kindest and most unassuming of men. To know him was to love him, and this because he possessed not merely strength, but a fund of affectionate ten derness almost feminine in its delicacy. This phase of his character is brought out in these volumes with singular felicity. The pathos of the conclu sion is indeed exquisite. His daughter has shown herself worthy of her illustrious sire, and wherever the English tongue is spoken, will be hailed with pleasure this tribute to the memory of " Christo pher North." --- No Church. 13y the Author of " High Church,' and " Owen, a Waif."

" Piccalilli " consists of sixteen very cleverly told tales, all of which con vey a moral at once strikin g an d appropriate. The first :tale, entitled " The Toad that went Out to Tea," is a very humorous little story.

SECRETARY— George Dauglish, Esq. TEMPORARY OFFICES-5, Copthall-chambers, Throgmorton- street. The object of th's Company is to establish bakeries in dif ferent parts of London for the manufacture and Bait; of aerated bread under Dr. Dauglish's patents, Wherever the aerated bread has been introduced it has ob taine i favour with the public and support from the medical profession by its perfect cleanliness and purity and whole some and nutritious qualities, and it must when supplied in quantity supersede the use of fermented bread. The report presented to "farliament at the close of the last session by Mr. Tremenhere, the Commissioser appointed by the Home-office to inquire into the grievances complained of by the journeymen bakers, calls attention to the "great pub lic importance' of Dr. Dauglish's process. In the ordinary method of making bread, the necessary dis tension of the dough is produced by the chemical process of fermentation by means of yeast, which developes carbonic acid gas by decomposing certain elements of the flour. This process of fermentation destroys a part, and deteriorates the whole, of the substance of the flour. It is tedious and uncer tain, and liable to derangement by any variation in materials, weather, or temperature ; and it requires the close and con tinued attention of a master or of a steady and experienced workman. The new method of bread-making substitutes machinery for skilled hand labour. The dough is distended by carbonic acid gas, produced independently, and admitted by mechanical means ; an operation which can be conducted on a large scale with perfect regularity and certainty, and so rapidly that in an hour and a-half the sack of flour is converted into baked loaves; waste and deterioration being entirely avoided, and the most perfect cleanliness secured, as the flour passes from the sack into the baked loaf without being once touched by the hand. The long hours and exhausting night-work of the opera tive bakers are rendered unnecessary, and all the other evils of the trade are entirely remedied. A modern bakery, open to inspection, has already been established by the patentee and his friends at Islington, at a very moderate cost, for the purpose of proving, by the best of all evidence—that of practical working—the beneficial and profitable character of the process. All the bread is there sold for cash. It is proposed that this Company shall take over the model bakery, and establish 19 other similar bakeries in favourable situations. The management will be of the most simple and economical kind. Each new bakery will be a repetition of the last of those preceding it, and will be easily managed by an intelligent foreman ; and the whole estab lishment will be superintended by one expo. fenced general manager, whose services are already secured, and who shows his own perfect confidence in the success of the undertaking by ag,reeing to receive no remuneration for his services till the Company shall be in a position to pay a dividend of 10 per cent. On the first iscue of 10,000 shares, or £ICO,OOO, £60,000 will be called up. With this sum the first 20 bakeries can be com pleted and worked. Further bakeries will be established as the demand increases; and the Company may eventually become their own millers. It is intended to rent in prefe rence to building. No call will exceed £2 per shar., or be made at less than two months' notice. In every increase of capital, whether within the first £500.000 or beyond it, an option will be given to existing shareholders to take the new shares in propor tion to their several holdings. The subscribers to the first 20 bakeries will thus secure to themselves the entire benefit of an enterprise of unlimited extent, supported by a daily de mnnd for the first necessary of life, by a population equal to that of Scotland, or half that of Ireland, concentrated in one spot; whose bread consumes 60. 00 sacks of flour per week, and costs eight millions sterling per annum. This vast po pulation increases at the rate of 1,000 souls per week, and would require the annual addition of eight bakeries of the size proposed. The enterprise, moreover, is one which, how ever much ft may extend itself, will require no complicated accounts, no heavy stocks on hand, no considerable lia bilities. An arrangement has been made with thepatentee, and with Mr. Childs, who has an interest in the patents, for an exclu sive licence for the whole of London (including the entire district within a radius of 10 miles from St. Paul's), at a mo derate fixed price per bakery, payable only as each bakery is erected. The Directors hope to be able to declare a divid'nd in the course of the year 1863. Meanwhile they are happy to state that out of the profits of the model bakery at Islington they will be enabled to pay interest at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum on the deposit and calls from the dates of payment till the first general meeting in Mav next. An estimate for the first twenty bakeries, based upon ac tual experience obtained by the working of the model bakery at Islington, has been carefully prepared. It shows a clear profit of 33; per cent. It should be understood that only two kinds of bread arc now produced and sold, the lucrative business of selling flour, fancy bread, and biscuits not having yet been entered upon. These obvious and legitimate sour ces of profit are not reckoned upon in the estimate. The Directors wish it to be understood that they are under no engagement whatever to mas e any purchases or payments which do not appear on the face of the detailed estimate attached to the prospectus, for which application must be made at the Offices of the Company.

The iron-plated frigate Royal Oak, 1,000 horse power, preparing for sea at Chatham, is getting ra pidly forward ; the last row of armour plates have been already fixed to her broadsides, leaving only the stem and stern portions of the vessel to be en cased. She has several hundred hands employed on her, and from the energy with which the work of plating and fitting is being pushed forward, will be ready to be undocked early in the ensuing year. Yesterday a body of 50 additional shipwrights, together with a large number of labourers, holders up, and other workmen, ,were placed on the iron steam-frigate Achilles, 1,260 horse power, under construction at Chatham dockyard. The number of hands now employed about that vessel is close upon 900, 250 of whom are dockyard shipwrights who have acquired suffi3ient knowledge of iron ship building to justify their being employed on the new iron frigate. The midshipe portion of the iron plates or skin of the vessel, having all been rivetted, the operation of fixing the teak backing, on which the exterior armour plates will be laid, was commenced yesterday. Between the inner and outer plates of the vessel's side will be laid a backing of teak 18in. in thickness, composed of two planks, the 10-inch baulks of timber being fixed fore and aft, and the 8- inch timbers up and down. Over these, again, will be laid the 42-inch armour plates, giving, with the interior plates, a solid thickness of iron and teak of between 23 and 24 in. In this respect the Achilles will be constructed differently from the Warrior and Black Prince, both of which vessels have their plates fixed amidships only, leaving the stem and stern en tirely unprotected. In the Achilles every portion of the exterior of the vessel's side will be covered with armour plates, which towards the stem and stern Will not exceed 21in. in thickness, those portions of the vessel being least exposed. To lessen the tendency to roll common to all our large iron ships of war, the Achilles is constructed flutter on the floors than either the Rlack Prince or Warrior ; her engines and machinery will also be placed about 2ft. lower, and n=earer her kelson. It is intended to give the Achilles an additional mast, in order to render her more manageable when under canvas than the Warrior, which, it is now generally admitted, would have her sailing qualities improved by being pro vided with a fourth mast. Although the Achilles will be furnished with one more mast than her sister ships, the amount of canvas she will spread will scarcely exceed the Warrior's. The trim of the new frigate will be improved, and the sails being some what smaller than in our other large iron ships, the operations of reefing, shortening, and making sail will be attended with considerably less labour and difficulty. From the progress already made there is every probability of her being ready for floating out of dock by the end of next year. It will be 12 months later before she will be ready to proceed on her first cruise, The Himalaya screw troopship, Capt. B. Lacy, under repair in her machinery department, will be temporarily undocked to-day to admit of the Resis tance,l6, iron ram, being docked for the examination of her Kingston valves. The Himalaya goes into dock again on it being vacated by the Resistance, to re ceive a new stern tubing and lignum vita; lining for her screw shaft now being prepared for her. The pro peller of the Himalaya, which is of iron, and was cast at Keyham on the improved Griffiths pattern of blades, has the leading edge and tip of each blade on their four sides honeycombed in a most extra ordinary manner, they having the appearance of wood destroyed by worm perforations. An eluci dation of the cause of this partial destruction of the blades by Mr. Griffiths would be interesting as re lating to the action of the screw propellor. The Meg era screw troopship, Commander Hen derson, has been placed in dock at Portsmouth and her bottom examined by the master shipwright and his staff for the purpose of preparing a report for the information of the Admiralty on the respective and comparative merits of the two descriptions of anti-fouling composition with which it was coated in April last. The starboard side of the ship was then payed with the ordinary composition pre pared by Mr. Hay, the Admiralty chemist, and the port side with the Wlnneslcomposition, as used on the bottoms of the Cunard steamers. Without an ticipating the decision of the Government authori ties as to the comparative merits of the two compo sitions, we may state that both sides of the ship are unusually clean and free from marine incrustations, taking into consideration the length of time the compositions have been on. Since 1845, however, when experiments with protecting and anti-fouling compositions for the bottoms of iron ships com menced at Blackwall, on her Majesty's screw yacht Fairy, with the compositions of Baron Wetterstedt, Mr. Owen, and Mr. Ditchburn, up to the present time, when the preparations of Mr. Hay, M'lnnes, and Peacock, and Buehans are those exclusively ap plied to seagoing vessels in her Majesty's Navy , not one has been found to answer in all the neces sary requirements, Many of the compositions have not only failed to prevent the adhesion but hav e foreign matter to an iron ship's bottom, and actually, or apparently, assisted the formationsi- Th e ooro K tried growth on it of marine incrustations. t, the c hief tion prepared by the Admiralty chenlisand which, ingredient of which is oxide of celc a Pc ., r va lta and the list for its home dockyards, stands first on according to the official reports f t r i : g properties, pre servation and anti-foulin ds or the attach gethergrowth of Vree on service prevent the of a vessel not alto meat of shell to the bottom For does Patent compo sition a tropical climate. c sition of Mr. Hay, h t e ies ia i rns t e g new re t uperiority in over the ordinary compo sition has not yet been tested fully anti-fouling sition in use, but on the l bottom f any sea-geing vessel.

Last evening a public meeting was held at the Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand, for the purpose of receiving the Circassian chiefs who are now in this country endeavouring to interest the Government and the people in the wrongs and injuries they are suffering at the hands of Russia, and to ask their countenance and aid in their efforts to establish themselves into a free and inde pendent nation. The Circassian Deputies, Hadji Hayden Hassan and Kustar Ogli Ismael, made their appearance in the military costume of their country, and were received with much applause, while their fine soldier looking appearance created general interest. Mr. EDMOND BEALE having been v ote chair, stated that an address had been presented to d to the her Majesty, signed by the Circassian Deput ies n ow present, which set forth the terrible w rongs and grievances which their country had suffered at the hands of Russia. That address was presented to her Majesty on the 26th of August last, and on the 12th of September an answer to it was received, not from her Majesty, but from Earl Russell, to the effect that her Majesty had rece i ve d the address, but that her Majesty's Government could not inter fere with the matters to which it referred. That reply he considered did not express the views of the had therefore been English people. The meeting lying expression to convened for the purpose of g bj e ct, and to show the brave their feelings on this stuheir appeal response in for aid found a men before them that the hearts of the English people ; and he had no doubt t h a t before they left the coun ld r eceive the fullest confirmation of try they w ou that fact. S. jZOLAND then said, in order to bring antdoan,he Mr. S the peoplee—eocyt,ho the matter properly before lt. reso u ion to the cc would propose a com mittee be appointed to arran g e for convening a large mee ting in London to r ece i ve t public Deputies , and to take su ch other stepshe Circassian as might be deemed desirable. Mr. HANKE havi ng seconded the resolution, it was from the chair, and cordially agreed to. A committee was then appointed in terms of the resolution, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. RUGBY FOOTBALL—The annual match between the old Rugbians and Rugby School came off, as had been announced, on Saturday, Nov. 1. It has always been con sidered as one of the best matches of the season, and this year proved even more exciting than usual, owing to the extreme evenness of the sides, which gave it all the ele ments that constitute a really good match. In the begin ning the old Rugbians had slightly the advantage, and a successful kick at goal gained for them half the victory. For the remainder of the afternoon the sides seemed very well matched, and the present Rugbians proved themselves not inferior to their predecessors in address and bravery. Among those who chiefly distinguished themselves may be mentioned Haynes, Hardy, Marshall, Beachcroft, and Sykes, for the old Rugbians ; for the school, Johns, Wilson, Tritton, hood, and Newill. Cook, Little Breeches. By Charles Bennett. This is another volume of the same class as the above, and also published by Messrs. Sampson Low and Co. The praise awarded to " Piccalilli" applies equally to this work, and it will be hard to decide which of the two will be most acceptable to the little folks for whom they are intended. The stories in " Little Breeches" are more numerous and very much shorter than in the above book, but they are not the less telling on that account. The illus trations byMr.Bennett, profusely scattered through out the volume, arc highly comical, and the book will doubtless cause the greatest merriment to those who are fortunate enough to become its possessor. Cassells' Illustrated Almanack. The almanacks for 1863 are now fast appearing, but for cheapness and neatness, Cassells' is sure to obtain very extensive patronage. In addition to the usual information, this almanack contains a record of remarkable events, a very good biography of the eminent persons deceased during the year 1862, and other useful papers, well calculated to ensure its extensive circulation. The Queen has approved the appointment of Sir Charles Trevelyan as a member of the Cou,cil of the Governor•Geueral of India. PHYSIOGNOMY. He said that one of the characteristics of the age in which we live was its love of the mysterious and marvellous. "I refer to the so-called science of physiognomy, but more especially to the morbid expansion of it called the physiognomy of the human form which has been elaborated in Germany, and is now likely to obtain pos session of the English mind. In want of any other arguments, our physiognomists assert that it is simply probable that the outer form would be designed on purpose to • represent the mental character, and on this ground they dogmati cally declare that the expressions of rage, or grief, or fear have been divinely designed on purpose that the inner mind may be known to those who watch the outer man.' The persons who use such arguments and have recourse to such assumptions never propose to make an inductive comparison of a certain number of well-measured forms with the well-ascertained mental phases with which they are associated. Were such experiments made, they would yield no result. No two physiognomists, acting separately, would agree in measuring and characterising the forms and indications of the head, the features, the hands, and the feet of the patient; and no two individuals—neither the saga cious judge on the bench, nor the shrewd counsel at the bar—could determine his real character were they to conjure with all the events of his life. In this new physiognomy, a head large in the mid region indicates a predominance of the feelings over the other faculties. A proneness to superstition and fanaticism is shown by a little increase in the ele vation ; and a head large behind evinces practical ability, and, as Dr. Carus says, characterises a race which will give birth to great historic names ! Small heads, however, are not to be despised. They indicate talent, but not genius, while very small ones belong, he says, to the excitable class, from whom a great part of the misery of society arises.' In the varying expressions of the human face, the physiognomists find a better support for their views. That the emotions of the past and the present leave permanent traces on the hui3aan countenance is doubtless true, and to this extent we are all physi ognomists, often very presumptuous ones, and, ex cepting accidental coincidences, always in the wrong, when we infer from any external appear ance the character and disposition of our neighbour. In every class of society we encounter faces which we instinctively shun, and others to w hich we as in stinctively cling. But how frequently have we found our estimates to be false ? The repulsive aspect has proved to be the result of physical suffering, of domestic disquiet, or of ruined fortunes; and un der the bland and smiling countenance, a heart de ceitful and vindictive, and desperately wicked,' has often been found concealed." THE PATENT LAWS. Later in his address he alluded to the patent laws, and the recent attempts that have been made to pro cure their abolition. " You are all aware that the author of any literary work, however small be its dimensions, and however frivolous its subject, en joys by the laws of England the sole right of pub lishing it for 28 years, and during the rest of his life. The only tax exacted by the law, and that only for the benefit of the public, is the presentation of five copies to the principal libraries of the king dom. The artist, the engineer, the draftsman, the geographer, the hydrographer, and the sculptor enjoy the same valuable right, and so complete is the protee'ion afforded by the law that piracy is almost unknown ; and works thus secured consti tute a property which can be as safely transferred as land or money in the funds. It is otherwise, however, with the inventor of new machines, new instruments, and new processes in the fine and use ful arts. While the author can instantly dispose of his work, or draw the profits which it may yield, the inventor must devote himself to the deve- lopment and practical application of his invention. When his arrangements are complete he applies for a patent, and he receives a right to use his invention for 14 years by paying fees and expenses which half a century ago amounted in many cases to £4OO or £5OO. The right thus obtained was entirely illusory. His parchment, indeed, bore the Great Seal of England; but the patent could be reduced, and the price of it forfeited, either from want of complete originality in the invention, or from frivo lous defects in his own description of it. In this state of the patent law, injurious to the interests of the public, and ruinous to inventors, our distinguished Chancellor, Lord Brougham, directed his attention to the subject, and carried two bills through Parlia ment which reduced the price of patents, and re moved many of the more obnoxious provisions of the former law. These improvements were generally acceptable, and though inventors were still dissatis fied with the large sum of about £l5O or £2OO, which they had to pay, and with the imperfect pro tection which their patent secured, they nevertheless submitted to the operation of the law, in the hope that future legislation might improve it. Under these circumstances, men of science and inventors of all classes were startled with a proposal made by a distinguished engineer, that the patent law should be repealed, and that there should be something like free trade in inventions. In addressing an as sembly of civil engineers at Sheffield, Sir William Armstrong said ' that the dauntless spirit which, in matters of commerce, had led this country to cast off the trammels of protection, had resulted in aug mented prosperity to the nation, showing the inju rious tendencies of class legislation when opposed to ; and he expr esse d a h ope general freedom o f action that the same bold and enlightened policy might be extended, in some degree at least, t o matters of part, he was i nc li ne d to invention.' For hi s own think the prestige of successful i nvent i on would, as a rule, bring with it sufficient reward, a n d th a t pro • tection might be entirely dispensed with. Under the free trade of the present day, thus highly and ijustly appreciated, we receive the corn and the wines of one country in return for the iron and the coalof another ; but it exceeds our comprehension bow I
