WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENINO, SIX O'CLOCK.—Consi derable excitement was created throughout the town this morning in consequence of a report that an officer of tha i 6Oth Rifles had attempted self destruction, at his room in the in fantry barracks, in Sheet-street. The following particulars have been obtained : The gentleman who made the, fortunately, ineirectual at tempt upon his life is First Lieutenant H. W. Ellis, who is rather more than thirty years of age, and who has been in the regiment Aunt twee years. It appears that his man servant, Upon calling kim this morning, as usual, about nine o'clock, was told to " come in." He noticed that the voice of his master was much weaker than usual, and that he ap peared to speak with some difficulty. Upon entering the 'apartment, he discovered his master lying in bed, who told him he was dying, but not to be alarmed. On the servant. going to him he found the unfortunate gentleman with his throat cut from ear to ear, bleeding most profusely, and the bed and clothes literally saturated with blood. He imme diately gave an alarm, and then proceeded to seek for the sur geon of the regiment. Assistant-Surgeon Fergusson was al most immediately in attendance; Surgeon H. Fraser was also speedily on the szat, as well as Mr. Fowler, a medical gentle man residing in Sheet-street, who was sent for to assist the regimental surgeon. Upon examining Lieutenant Ellis, it was discovered that his throat was cut from the left ear towards the right, and that another similar wound had been inflicted, proceeding from near the right ear downwards. The razor with v,hich the wounds bad been inflicted was found lying on the dress ing -table, close to the bed, covered with blood. It was discovered, upon examination} that the jugular vein was entirely divided, but Witt providentially the carotid ar tery, although the razor had penetrated to within the eighth of an inch of it, had escaped! The windpipe was likewise found to be untouched. . From the extreme state of exhaustion the unfortunate gen tleman was labouring under, from the immense loss of blood he had sustained, at the hour this account left Windsor (six o'clock), but very faint hopes indeed are entertained that he will survive many hours. Lieutenant Ellis is highly respected and esteemed through out the regiment. Ho has been suffering from ill health for some time past, and had only returned to Windsor from a lengthened leave of absence about a fortnight ago. Since then he has been observed to be in an exceedingly httVous Matt. He appeared to be greatly annoyed and excited at not being enabled to perform his regimental duties in consequence of his indisposition. This greatly distressed him, and preyed much upon his mind. He is a young man of good property ; and, upon the decease of his mother, ho will come into possession of upwards of 5,0001. a-year. _ THE WEATHER.

Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, A. bemarle-street, Piccadilly. opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, Bank of England, having devoted their whole lives to this branch of Science, and their long extensive . practice have enabled them to invent Spectacle Lenses upon a new construction, which have gained universal approbation. Immediately they are placed before imperfect vision, either by day or candle-light, every object becomes clear and distinct, so that the most aged imperfect/ sight becomes - bright and brilliant, and ; brought to its', youthful,. natural, and original state. Their Invisible Operatiy&Yolce Conductor for deaf persons is n o t the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than having a piece of wool in its place; they give immediate relief to old standing ex treme cases of deafdess. Those valuable inventionshave also gained the Patronage of the Royal Family, and the unqualified approbation of above four hundred 'of the principal members cf the medical' professicn, and numerous individuals of high distinction who have been greatly benefited by their use.— No connexion with pereona of the same name. 39, Albemarleddreet, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King Willianuotnet,lianli of England. i,_y, .

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in - a class of dist.nes and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the of dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, tint to mark the terrific consequences,. social, moral, and physical, which are sere to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an edv - ertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation et a PA , [ RENT. a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

COPYRIGHT OF DESIGNS BILL. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Copy right of Designs Bill was read, whereupon Mr. EMERSON TENNENT said that in moving that the Bill be read a second time, he would not oc cupy the House with any observations, as he understood that her Majesty's Ministers were in favour of the principle of the Bill, and be thought that any-diffe rence on minor points would he matter of consideration in the Committee. Mr. WILLIAMS said that when he was on the Committee appointed to investigate this subject he had paid the greatest attention to the evidence. It appeal el to him that there was no branch of coanufactuies which had been, up to the present time, mare prosperous than the cotton manufacture. There was no branch in which larger fortunes had been made, or in which greater success had attended the outlay of capital; and he thought that before so great a change was proposed it should be shown that it had now declined in prosperity. When" the manufacture was in its infancy there was a protection of two months ex tended to the copyright. An application wes made for an extension of the term, and the Parliament extended the period to three months. As a proof of the ex traordinary progress which had been made by this branch of our manufacturer, he would state that the products in 1800 amounted to thirty-two millions of yarns ; in 1814 to one hundraand twenty-four millions ; and in 1830 to three hundred and forty-seven millions of yarr.s. Up to the last-mentioned period the exact quantity pro duced could be ascertained by the duty which was then levied upon the calicoes. The trade All progressed as rapidly as at any former period. The sma►l est estimate gave four hundred and twenty mil lions of yarns, or fifteen millions of pieces. The evidence which had been given before the Committee by gentlemen who were deeply interested in the matter ought to be carefully weighed before the House ventured upon the change proposed by the Hon ourable Member for Belfast. Many persons who were connected with the trade had seats in that House, and were looked up to as authorities on the commercial affairs of the country. If those individuals had thought that this branch of ma nufacture swould be benefited by the extension of the copy right, and had stated their opinion, Parliament would, in all probability , have adopted their suggestion. But no such proposition bad been made during a period of 30 years. When it was considered that the object for effecting this great and important change was, that a few indivi duals, and a very few, might be enabled to sell very small and circumscribed productions at a higher price, and thereby get a larger profit, he thought the House would hesitate before it effected so great a change. (Cries of " Hear.") What was the property in respect of which an extension of the Copyright was sought ? It had been admitted by all the witnesses, both for and against the measure, that the patterns now produced were taken from old patterns, and so great was the quantity of patterns produced that it had been esti mated the number produced in Manchester alone amounted to 520,000 a year. It had been computed that 30,00Q000 of patterns had been produced, which em braced almost every object, device, and form which the imagination of man could suggest. The only resource for forming new and original patterns was the old patterns. The late Boroughreeve of Manchester, an Aldcrmr.n in and a Magistrate, who had been thirty gar, had the trade and produced 3 , 000 patter ns every 3 had stated to the Committee that during i h __s eZporlellee of thirty years he had not seen two p cwh h be ' c ould call original patterns, If the . enange tha , c , wp l s n ow sought to be made in the copyright were . eiiecteu, it would inflict a most severe blo w upon an important tlernan, Mr. Lee, a Magistrate of Manchester, who produced annually 700,000 pieces, measuring up taMe Os_ of,. 11,000_ _ Asks, .stated, . that - he did - pot ittii - wliati. :ii -sseipy,eeilta ..; that the e , trade did pot know it, and waited to bo informed on that point: Another gentleman, Mr. Kershaw, whose productions amounted to one million of pieces a year, and who is a gentleman of high respectability, and a Magistrate of Manchester, expressed an opinion precisely in accordance with the gentlemen whom he ttabbPnis:c:teacfils'ott‘a profits, of att underselling ; progressaa her. (Mr. Williams) quoted. Mr. Ross, a practical de signer, and one of the best description of calico-printers, expressed a similar opinion, and he further stated that there was very little real originality existing in patterns. Now, although there was a law that gave three months' protect . )on to those patterns, yet the producers of designs had never availed themselves of that protec• tier, and they had stated in their evidence that they believed the majority of those persons engaged in the calico printing trade had never protected t their patterns. That was the opinion of those Gen tlemen, and the increased protection could have no other object in view, but an increase of profit and the sale of their productions to the public at a higher price than they could now obtain for them. It was a most remark able circumstance that the gentlemen who were opposed to this measure—two of them:at least—stated that they Dever copied any man's pattern in their lives, and another stated that he utter copied any pat tern before the term of the copyright had expired, and even then, not one in a hundred. Several or these gentlemen who were in favour of the Extension of the Copyright were copyists of French patterns. What did these gentlemen say as to the ext., nt of copying which now existed ? The Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce • in Glasgow, before a Committee of which several of the largest calico-printers of that. city were examined, on this subject. One of those gentlemen, a person of great respectability, Mr. Galbreaitb, who produced 200,000 pieces annuaily, in answer to a question, said, that he had never known of any patterns being copied —he had seen none, but he had heard of one or two. Now that was strong evidence that Scotland, at any rate, was almost enircly exempt from that system of copying to which it was the object of the Bdl to put a stop.. Another gentleman, who was one of the princi pal witnesses in favour of the measure, Mr. Lnekett, seated that there was in general no advantage in copy ing prints. He said that he engraved fifty patterns a week, and that he could only mention one instance of those patterns having been copied. 'Tat gentleman had also made the following remarkable statement in his evidence ; he said that novelty was the grand attrac tion, that it would at all times command a preference of sales, though not always of price. While the House had such evidence as that before them to dis prove the existence of any. exteusive system of copying' such as could be injurious to the trade—coming, tao, from parties who were favourable to an extended copy right,_ he hoped they would pause before they sanctioned the Bill. It was the opinion of those gentlemen who were unfavourable to the passing of the measure, that it it were to be enforced there would be no end to liti. gation. Mr. Roe, an eminent Chancery barrister, was one of the parties examined. He stated that in one case in which proceedings in Chancery bad been instituted, to obtain redress for the copying of a pattern, Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst said, when the patterns were shown to him, that he could not say which was the copy and which was the original; and that he should dismiss the case for the consideration of a Jury. Mr. Roe also stated that, in a Chancery case, it would be two years before an answer could be put in. When the cause had been set down to be heard it might be a year and a half before it would come on for hearing. Tee same. witness, in answer to another question, said that parties were prevented from appeal ing to the law on account of' the delay and expeas.e, which he considered most unjust and disgrace 4ful to the law and disgraceful to the Legisla ture.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon Member then read an;extract from the evidence of a solicitor of Manchester who was engaged` in a cause of this kind in the Court of Chancery. That gentleman said that his clients were worn out, and gave op their defence, although they had sufficient evidence to prove that the pattern against which an injunction had been obtained, was alto gether an original invention. The pattern was not worth 205., and the suit cost the parties upwards of 9001. each. He trusted that the House would take care not to in crease the litigation which was described in those documents. A gentleman, manager for the printing concern of Henry and Company, in Dublin, had complained of their patterns being very ex tensively copied. Messrs. Henry and Company had been in business for twenty years, and it was ad mitted that during the past ten years they bad copied the patterns of other manufacturers. Although that gentleman stated that he got his engravings done for five pounds, whilst the original proprietor of the copying altogether, although he could not be said to patterns paid ten pounds, yet he had abandoned have done wrong, as the Act did not extend to Ire land.. He stated that when they copied the patterns they sold them at 40s. a piece, one half the price obtained by the original producer, and yet they got at least 20:. profit. He (Mr. Wiliams) thought this gentleman at least bad very good reason to be satisfied with the present law. Those Gentlemen who were seeking this ex tension were only actuated by cupidity, and by a desire to get larger profits.— (Hear.) A great number of pamphlets had appeared on this subject. The very individuals who had denounced the present system as piracy and robbery, acknowledge that they themselves had been in the habit of copying French patterns. —( Hear, hear, hear.) Was it not as much piracy and robbery to copy a French man's pattern as it was of one of their own countrymen. One of the gentlemen who had given evidence favour of the extension, Mr. Potter, stated that he had frequently copied French patterns, and afterwards claimed them as his own property, and threatened to prosecute any one who should infringe them, . and this practice was very . commonly adopted. But what he (Mr. W.) considered the most serious and import ant consequence of this Bill was the effect which it would have upon the foreign trade of this country. Some gent'emen had stated that it would be a great advantage to foreigners to have the Bill passed. Mr. Lucas, one of the largest manufacturers in this country, had stated that if the copyright were to be extended, he would not venture to execute or ders ; that he would give up the trade rather_ i t c h e an .i b i under the ban of a law that would pl ierah l aw transactions in jeopardy and danger.. M ht would only said that the extension of the copy ld m aterially in create high prices and large h at opini six other witnesses bad .d c c or , 7 He felt that he ought jure(Cries of " Divide, i d fiven note the foreign tra d d ri e v,olu o s f e. to apologise to the subject, but it was a question of upon such a dry . national point of view importance in a more were aware of. It had Gentlemen than most evidence before the Committee by been stated upon for troubling it so long gentlemen competent . different parts of the conti nentd the United Stet( a of America, was of a of Europe, an dinary and powerful description. In many most extraor f n o u r f l e g t n ure h 3 oultrie 3 of Europe that were articles France, Belgium, Germany, Russia, and the United States, were now capable of competing with many to i judge ns 01e gentleman who thoroughly understood the nature of the trade, and had been in communication producers of this article durit g the last 18 years, had stated that so great was the progress now making in those different . countries that he looked forward with the great at apprehensdon Co the refu!t of the competition they would be able to v age is the course of a short w in i a tl k i ing all in th n e la time against this country. England, and in He (Mr. W.) hoped the 2cu Sees he had state 3 would have some weight with , House, and would induce Hon. Membe.rs to pause befera they sanctioned the Bill. He held ire his hand a document which showed the progress this branch of the trade had made. In the United States, twenty-five years ago, the trade was unknown. Ire the y ear 1839 they produced upwards of 100' s 000,000 yards of calico of the value of very nearly 2,500,000/. sterling. They had increased their own productions year after year, at a rapid etc. Our exportations to that country had been diminished year after year, till they were re duce], in the year 1839, to between 8 or 900,000 pi eces . One point which he (Mr. Williams) wished to olisarve upon, and upon which a great deal had been said dsefoie the Committee, was the supe riority now enjoyed by the French in their pro duction of this article. That superiority was attributed to the French having a long term for the copyright of designs. Now he believed that t her circumstance had no influence whatever in producing tl,O superiority which the French now enjoyed. His opinion was that it was entirely owing to their haying established schools of design at the public ex }nose in all the departments of manufacture, which now existed in that country ; and so great was thi ability ie carrying out designs, that they had undoubtedly a supeeiolity over every other country. But if the same means ;sere adopted in this country, and selwols o f d es i gn v eer established, we would not he one tittle behiud the s c'rench, either in taste or ingest city, in the production of derigns. There was one remarkable fact, and it was, that :sore than a year and a half ago a Bill had passed Parliament to establish a copyright in de signs for twelve months for all descriptions of both ar ticles. The producers found that no protection an all. In the great and extensive trade of the manufacture of silk, in which it was computed that not less ohan from .50 to 100,000 patterns were annually produeied, not 2.t) of these patterns were registered. Could such grounds then as these be rested upon by the parties who sought for the extension ? The pets,sing of the measure nos: nought to be made law would be most in jurious and most detrimental to these most important branches of the manufactures of the country ; and he ~could therefore move that the Bill be reed A second time that day twelve months. Mr. GISBORNE seconded the motion. Mr. SHE IL had been at considerable pains to ob tain the most coriect information on the subject, and it appeared to him that there were great difficulties la w the way of settling she matter to the satisfaCtion of the persons interested. Tire embarrassment which the subject presented seemed somewhat less with respect to thepaper-hanging trade. The operations in paper-staining were slower in their nature, and the patterns were of longer duration. The French mode of paper-staining was decidedly supetior to ours, and if we could have improved our designs by the extension of the copy right he had no doubt that the French paper would have been long since banished from this country. Another consideration was, that there was no difference of opinion among the parties concerned in the trade ; and before the Committee no party interested in the trade came forward to give evidence rigs inst the ex tension of the copyright in paper-staining. That was not the case with respect to the calico trade ; for with respect to the extension of the copyright in the . calico trade considerable dissension existed.—(Hear, hear.) Tee Scotch. printers seemed almost unanimous with re spect to the propriety of the existing copyright. He (Mr. Shell) believed that there were sixty-sesven printers in Scotland, originally sixty-four, in favour of the extension of it. He heard that there was anothor both, of printers in Scotland favourable to the extension of tfie ctenyright, and they produced annually about four millions o t l. eicces. In Ireland there were twodistinguished manufacturcre• Mr. Duffy and Mr. .1-lanry,who produced excellent designs, and who were naturally in favour of the extension. In I:J.anchester the d e eference of opinion on the subject rose to a hitch of excitet.etento Both the Hon. Members for Manch e ester were op t , osed to the ex tension, and one cf them made a speech on ehe subject attended with such effLet, that it a"cquired all • the ts.lents of the Hon. Member for Inverness :o remove /hat cf feet. It was not wonderful, under those circun. ,seances, that those who had nothing but the public good a,,,heart, and did not participate in the feelings of those whys ap peared as witnesses before the Committer, should e nape rience some difficulty on the subject. Even the C oni mittee, after hearing a great deal of evidence on the s. tsb.• je.ct, were far from agreeing—six were for reporting # the subject and six against it, and it was only the cast- - ing vote of the Chairman that decided it. Tios Committee agreed to no definite period of exten sion, they merely agreed to the principle that the term of the copyright should be extended. The Honourable Member for Belfast, who had shown great sagacity and experience on the subject, could not soy that in selecting the period of twelve months he was justified by the Report of the Committee. 'lacy might take it for granted that the period of copy right should be regulated by the period for which it was granted. Were three months adequate for that purpose? He did not think they were. The season lasted for more than three months ; and yet, after the lapse of three months. some copyist, iyieg is wait, with out undergoing any expense or incurring any eisk, might deluge the market with a pattern of an inferior fabric, render the original pattern vulgar, and far less valuable. It had been said that if the extended copyright had been at first introduced into this country, we s hould now be able to enter into competition with our conti nental neighbours. It was true, however, that this country even still carried on a more prosperous trade than France. In 1839 the French exported only 34,000,000 of yards of calico, including printed and not printed goods ; tchile, in the same year, Enst land had exported 751,000,000 of cotton goods. The lion. Member for Belfast had introduced the perilous word " imitation" into the Bill, by which he ' opened the door to endless litigation. It was already difficult enough to ascertain, under the provisions of the 3d and 4th of George 111., what was " a copei." --(Hear, hear.) He thought the copyright ought to be extended, but not beyond six months ; and witeh the hope that it would be reduced to that limit, )3x3 would vote for the second reading.—(Hear, hear. ) There were already five Acts of Parliament, and thi would make a s;xth. it would save much expense and', uncertainty if they were all condensed into one— (Hear, hear)—and if the lion. Member for &Haste would accept his SC:ViCCS for that purpose, he would, willingly give him all the assistance in his power. Mr. GREG said, that from all the attention he had been able to give to the subject, he was convinced that the Bill would do more mischief than good. He thought that in most cases the protection was a loss to the public, and rarely a benefit to the individual.— (Hear, hear.) In the case of mechanical inventions, probably not one, certainly not six in the hundred, of patents was useful to the inventor. In the case even of Watts and Bolton, the invention of the former illustrious man was of no benefit to the part ners until after their patent had expired.—(Hear.) All experience showed that if the first manufacturer made his article good, and sold it at a reasonable price, he would have an almost undisputed sale for it. Hes was confident that the Bill then proposed would inflict injury upon the calico trade at large, and in partioular upon that town which he had the honour to represent. A short copyright, secrecy, despatch, and moderate prices were the only protection that could be afforded. Though the present time was short it was effectual ; if extended to twelve, or even six months, the security would be diminished, and the trade would be invoked in constant litigation. He must observe, that alea osl all the great printers had agents in France, who sen t over to this country every new pattern as it came out. If these identical patterns were protected, it was not too much to say, that those who sought to pas s ibis Bi:1 would the mse l ves b e t h e v i c tims of it. W hen orders came from different parts of the w orld, how was. the merchant to know who was the inventor of the patterns, or wheth e r apatterns, particular patt ern hado o n w e' t co w uld . or three months to run ?,---(Hear, bear.)

Seventy thousand: hundred weight of cotton goods were annually exported to foreign countries : and three-fou r th s of the manufac tures of Switzerland were exp or t e d . The f act was that we could not compete with foreigners in any species of cotton manufacture which required a consid era ble por tion of individual labour.

The Lord Chancellor could k not determine what was a copy and what. was an original, and Juries would be equally unable to decide in such cases. 09 the whole, atter having given the subject the most mature conside ration—after having conversed with a number of per sons the best acquainted with the subject, and after with regard to having rea d a ll th e pamphlets printed if—he could not remove the impression from his mind that, taking the interests of the community, and of the trade at large, into account , the Bill would be attended with a degree of injury more than commensurate with any individual advantages with which it might be at tended.
