He had difficulties to contend with, :.rising out of geographical divisions ; these, it is believed, have been happily arranged in such a manner as to give general satisf ietion to our Whig friends. In the selections which have been maile, the President has consulted the feelings and wishes of his friends in different districts of the country. Indeed, e:en their prejudices hays been considered. In doing this General Harrison has evinced a sound judgment, mingled with stgacity and discretion. Nor has he been wanting in prompti tude. I have reason to believe that the following gentlemen will constitute General Harrison's Cabinet. This statement is not made on slight grounds. Dan Webster, of Massachusetts, Secretary of State. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury. John Bell, of 'f en n e sse e , Secretary of War. George E. Badger, of North Carolina, Secretary of Navy. John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, Attorney-General. Francis Granger, of New York, Postmaster-General. This Cabinet is one of the most able that has been formed since the organization of the Federal Government in 17;0. The gentlemen comprising it, with the exception of Mr. Ila.lg r, have been long in public life, have great experience, and arc favourably known to the country.

It appears that, on the fact being known on Wed nesday evening that M'Leod had been admitted to bail, some 400 or 500 citizens assembled spontaneously at the Court house, and organized into a meeting by the choice of John Jackson, as Chairman, and William 0. Brown, secretary. A Committee was then appointed to wait on Judge Bowen, and Messrs. Buel and Brotherson, the reputed bail, to ascertain if the report were true. The Chairman meanwhile having stated to the meeting, that if Sir. M'Leod had entered into bail he was entitled to a discharge from prison, and that any attempt to obstruct his discharge would subject the offender to severe punishment, the following resolution was adopted : "Resolved, that no obstruction to the discharge of said INl'Leod, in case he has entered into bail, shall be made or countenanced, but that it is the right and duty of this meeting, considering the circumstances of the case, and that the amount of bail is far unequal to the demand of the law (if bail be allowed at all), to try to prevail on Messrs. Buel and Brother son to surrender said M'Leod to the sheriff, a privilege which bail in all cases possesses." The meeting then adjourned to nine o'clock on the follow ing morning, at which time the Committee reported. At this meeting Judge Bowen and Captain Buel were present, and arrangements were made for the legal surrender of M'Leod by his bail. A Committee was then appointed to embody the sentiments of the meeting in a series of resolutions, which were reported and adopted after the following fashion : " Whereas, the case of Alexander M'Leod, arrested and held to bail for a capital offence, has become a matter of serious im portance, and to which the attention of our fel'ow-citizens in every part of the country is directed, we, as citizens of the vil lage of Lockport, and county of Niagara, feeling anxious that such steps should be taken in the matter as shall be consistent with our rights, the supremacy of our laws, and a vindication of our national honour, disavow all intention of prejudging the case of the said Alexander M'Leod, or to do aught that shall have a tendency to prevent said M'Leod from having a fair and impartial trial, acting on the legal maxim, that the accused should be presumed innocent until proved guil 3. " Therefore, Resolved, that we are highly gratified that Cap tain W. Buel has seen fit to place M'Leod again in custody, espec'ally as it is but a few days before the sitting of our Court, when the Grand Jury will pass upon this case, under the direction of the Court. " Resolved, that we highly approve the recent answer of Mr. Forsyth to the unjust demand of Mr. Fox, for discharge of the said Mg.-cod, and the sentiments of Messrs. Fillmore, Cushimg, and Alford, delivered in Congress, fully meet our approbation, and are such as the exigency of the case and the honour of the nation called for. . 4 ' Resolved, that all cause of dissatisfaction in relation to the bailing of 111'Leod has been removed by the course taken by Judge Bowen and Captain Buel, and that therefore this meeting stand adjourned without day." Such is the face put upon this affair by its official chronicles, authenticated by the signatures of the Chairman and secretary. In the best light we can consider it only as a triumph of the mob over the action of a court of justice. It is a conflict of popular violence with the judicial authority. The magistrate has been overawed in the discharge of his official duty, and to that extent the supremacy of the law has been defied with suc cess.—New York Paper. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Minot 2. IN RE JAMES MOORE. This day was fixed for his final examination. The debts and liabilities are upwards of 50,0001., and the estimated assets at nearly 42,0001. The examination of the bankrupt as to various items in his balance-sheet occupied four hours and a half, and that being concluded, The Learned COMMISSIONER. said he never met a balanco sheet prepared with greater accuracy, nor a bankrupt who ap peared more willing to give every explanation to his creditors. The bankrupt then passed his final examination. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Mißell 2. IN THE MATTER. OF lIENNY HALL. The insolvent, a comedian at the Adelphi Theatre, was dis charged on sureties until his hearing. John Dale, of the Victoria Theatre, another comedian, was the nest insolvent bailed out on a similar application. A respectable solicitor, who had been engaged in Chancery proceedings, applied to be liberated on bail. The petitioner had been engaged as a solicitor in a number of Chancery suits, and he had in his schedule good debts to 10,0001. He had, in fact, 16,000 i. owing to him more than he owed. The Court, after a good deal of discussion, granted the ap plication. CONSISTORY COURT, MAReir 3. HEAVISIDE V. 11E:4,VISIDE, This was a suit of divorce brought by Captain Heaviside against his wife, on the ground of adultery. Dr. APDAMS on behalf of the husband was opening the case, when The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE, for the wife, said that he could riot offer any opposition to the prayer of Capt. Heaviside. The COURT thought " the less said the better," and, as it had no doubt of the adultery, it at once pronounced for the prayer of the husband. _ _ MORGAN V. MORGAN , This was a suit of divorce, promoted by the father of Mr. Herbert Morgan, against Elizabeth Morgan, on the ground of adultery. The marriage was a clandestine one, the youth being at the time of its celebration sixteen or seven teen years of age, and the lady, who was about nineteen, being the daughter of the postmistress of Ealing. As soon as the marriage became known Mr. Herbert Morgan was taken from school, where he was at the time, and sent to India. The wife subsequently, as alleged, committed adultery, and hence the present proceedings to procure a divorce. The Court on motion permitted the father of Mr. Herbert Morgan to commence the suit as curator for his son, as he was a minor. The marriage took place in April, 1837. Preliminary objec tions were taken to the proxy of consent sent by the son to the father, which the Court required before it would sign a defi nitive sentence, and by which the proceedings against the wife were adopted. The Court, after hearing Counsel on either side, reserved its decision as to the title of the father to proceed in the case until it had heard the cause, and pronounced its judgment on the whole question. Dr. HAGGARD was yesterday heard on behalf of Mrs. Mor gan, and The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE in support of the divorce. In the course of his address, he said—Abandonment by the hus band has never been held a bar to a suit for divorce by reason of adultery. Even wilful desertion has not been so consi dered. 'The Learned Advocate cited Reeves v. Reeves, and contended that wil.ul desertion, if established, was no bar to the suit; but this was nota case of that nature, the husband, a minor, being entirely under the guidance of his father, having been sent out of the kingdom by his authority, and being of himself unable to provide for his wife. The CouRT ultimately directed the case to stand over until the first day of next term. POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES.—We really know not what to say to our subscribers, or how to act for our selves, in reference to the atrocious robberies of their pro perty and ours, perpetrated—and hitherto with impunity— in the Post-office department. It is true that, when we prefer letters of complaint to the proper authorities, appa rent inquiry is made, and courteous replies given ; but the evil is never checked, nor is any satisfactory explanation afforded, with the exception occasionally that a paper had been missent. Surely the proprietors of newspapers arc as well entitled to protection as the mere senders cf let ters, seeing that we pay such enormous sums into the coffers of the revenue. We really think the newspaper proprietors, in justice to themselves and their subscribers, ought to hold a meetkng in Dublin, and agree upon a pe tition to Parliament, praying relief from the grievance under which they suffer. As far as this establishment is concerned, we are capable of giving legal evidence, and upon oath, that the paper of every subscriber is regu larly put into the General Post-office on the night: of publication, so that the abstraction must of necessity take place there or in the provincial branches. We did not re ceive the Argus weekly paper, due this morning ; the Standard missed twice last week ; and the Court Gazette (weekly paper) reaches this office about once a month. We are ourselves fellow-sufferers with our subscribers from the effects of robbery in the Post-office. —Dublin Evening Mail.

The Times of this morning observes, in the course of a leading article on the subject of Irish Romanism :—" Even O'Connell, with all his schemes of political and ece:esiastical aggression, has been called into existence entirely by the hooded incendiaries of Maynooth, is retained as their special pleader, and, knowing their terrible sway over the millions, is contented to depend upon their doles for his subsistence. The Repeal rel.ellion, as we persist in calling it, inferring eventually a Popish Parliament in Dublin, as well as the final ejectment and extirpation of Irish Protestant landlords, is, at bottom, the exclusive work of the priests." The Morning Post, sseak ing of Conservative policy, says :—" The danger of the pre sent time is the revolutionary tendency which exists in popu lar feeling, and the popular policy of Conservatives will be tho polies , of counter. revolutioa, of improvement as contradistin guished from revolution." '1 he Morning Chronicle comments as follows on the recent conduct of the Irish Tories : " Until w ithin . the last year or two, the Irish Tories have generally been themselves foremost in every aggression calculated to incense and embroil their countrymen; but we must do them the justice to state that latterly they would, with a few exceptions, have been quiet and well-behaved enough, Lad they not been hounded on anew against the people by the never flagging rancour of the Lord of Bickerstaff, and the scent of re stored power and ascendancy snuffed into their nostrils from his nefarious Bill." The following is from the Morning Herald: —" In our columns of to-day will be found a lett& r signed ' Protestans,' in answer to the writer in the Tinzes, who, under the signature of Catholicus,' has made Sir Robert Peel's Address at Tamworth the subject of much unfair and invidious commentary. We believe with Proteatans.' that Sir Robert Peel, in impressing with all the strength and suavity of a highly cultivated and graceful eloquence upon his audience, the advantage of scientific pursuits, not only in developing the intellectual powers, but in opening sources of men . al pleasure before unknown, and in contributing in some degree to the formation of the moral character, by leading the mind to elevating contemplations of the Divine St isdom, did not utter a sentence which Christianity itself would censure or repudiate. If by the mere contemplation of the material heavens, and the wonders of the firmament, the glory' of God is revealed, and the handy-work' of a Dei.y made manifest, will such contemplation, when, aided by the search ing powers of astronomical science, it ascertains the laws by which all that magnificent host of ' planets, suns, and ada mantine spheres,' are in their various motions governed and harmonised as one stupendous whole, the lead the mind from nature up to nature's God?' Let Catholi cue' ask the Psalmist why he so frequently speaks of the works and wonders of creation as testimonies to the power, and good ness, and wisdom of the Almighty, if the science that gives to human inspection the admirable contrivance, structure, and design of those works and wonders, has no tendency to lift the mind of man out of a state of brute unconsciousness of supe rior intelligence into the apprehension of the existence and at tributes of a God ? No ; the contemplation of the works of nature, with the aid of science, does not lead men's minds to atheistical conclusions—but to the opposite. Well did the pious poet, Young, with a mind bowed down with affliction, but full of holy aspirations, exclaim— ' The undevout astronomer is mad.' But ' Catholicus,' dogmatising in the true strain of the propa gandist hatred of Galileo's noble science, would say he was on the high road to Atheism, when he invoked his young friend thus : Together let us mount, Lorenzo, And kindle our devotion at the stars.' Addison was, we imagine, as pious a Christian as any writer who ever signed himself Catholicus: He has given a beau tiful paraphrase of one of the Psalms, in which the following lines occur, in allusion to the religious influence which the voiceless testimonies of Divine power strown over the firma ment shed upon the human mind : ' /n reason's ear they all rejoice And utter forth a glthious voice, For ever singing as they shine, The hand that made us is divine.' Put what 1 oet or prophet ever equalled in the language of sublime simplicity the fol,wing passage of the Psalmist, which is decisive c f his inspired conviction that to examine, exp'ore, and meditate upon the visible works of the Creator, leads not to atheism but to religion. All thy works praise thee, 0 Lord. 'I hey show the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power. That thy power, thy glory, and the mightine,s of thy kingdom might be known unto men.' We have thought it ne cessary to say so much as this in allusion to the somewhat Popish doctrine of Catholicus.' For other arguments founded on high authorities, and which even a Jesuit will find it very difficult to answer or evade, we refer to the letter of Protestans.' " MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. AVllicei? 41;6 PUtititt! 400tNALLAt FROM 14In DAILY PAVkiiS di? VEXTZEIJAY. (Front the Globe.) Lord S!anlev, and not Sir Robert Pee', is the leader of Tore'. in vain are the denials of this fact in the Tory press. We read acts. The present Tory policy is a Stanley and not a Peel thing. Wellington and 1 3 ,0, whenever they have been able to act on their own views, have ever been men of a Conservative and cmc,sding policy towards the great movement of Reform. All the memorable declare i ins of his policy made by Sir R. Peel —his Letter to the E'eet irs of Tarnworth, Lie spec2l in the Nlerchant Tailors' flail, and his speech on Sir J. Y. ; Bullet's motim—h ve be e n f u ll o f promises of concession to progres s a n d R e f orm and his speech at the Glasgow dinner, and his re cent a dd ress at T amwort h, requ i r e only a few variations of ph raseo l ogy, an d an a ddilan of ho: esty of purpose. to tit then to pass cur, eat as exhibitions of the ideas of a Whig- of a bye-gone generation. Ilis - policy never gave a sign of a dream of counteraction. Though " Catho:ious" of tie Times dt-elares the blindness I Sir R. Peel to the fact, that like a b ,dy with, ut a soul, , a aty wahout an id, a coi h ave no un i ty , hi s policy had an i lea in it, wide . ), however, is now no longer held by his pal ty. Conces,i in to the democratic teadeLe es of civil ashore has always marked the policy of S:r Robert P, e'. This is the idea of his statesmanship—an idea with little of romantic aspiration in it, and more safe than tigh. All Lis own observation has shown him the raising of the luwiy and the lowering of the lofty classes of society, as a constant, invariable, and inevitable process in polities. During all the days cf his looking on society he has seen Lords growing less and traders becoming greater. B.fore his eyes he has vii.neked continually and by degrees the waxing of democracy and the waning of aliitocrLcy ; and din efore, though opposing and hating the change, he has not dreamed of counteracting it. Though a profound knowle !ge of history may not be -,riong the number of his accomplishments, he knows that iren-clad barons and saleable serfs are no more—that men of ermined mantles have been growi ,. g weaker, and men of leather aprons growing stronge-, f, r several centuries. The idea of concession to democrr.ci is very natural to men upwards of Efry yer.rs of age, whose boyhood and youth beheld its triumphs in Napoleon, its child and champion, the gleam tif vthme sword was a terror to Kings. (From the Standard.) _ . _ The at empt to evado Mr. Ceiquhoun's motion, by not making a House, was last nigh: delei.ted by a fair attend ance of Prstestant member=. That the attempt was made is provz,d by the fact, that at four o'clock no more than len Members could be counted on the Alit isterial benches; scarcely lets satisfactorily demonstrated by the querulous tone of Lord M. rpeth'a speech. "If the moti3n," sail the Irish Secrete y, " had Le2n for leave to bring in tie speech 01 t' e Hon. Member for K•lmarnock, he would have no ' scruple to call upon the House nrt to receive any such speech." This is, we have no doubt, true, even thougO Lord Monte h sail it. The speech was just such an one as Ro mat i t. 4, and the tools of Romar.ists, least like to hear, or hay,: heard by othe rs. The misfortune of those who w idled to walk in darkness, and to lead the public with them, WilA, however, that liberty of speech still exits is the llou,e of Commons; and it is only by shutting the door of an empty house that the voice of truth can be silenced ; but from this stratagem the Ali tisters were precluded by the Protestant atteneanc The g °Lind upon which Lord :ilorpeth built his hope of evaclog 1 ist night's discussion may be seen in the conclusion of his silly a ldress " Seeing that they were told every day, both in speeches in that House and in publications out of it, that the leaders of the party opposed to the Government professed themselves ready to assume the reins of power, and that those reins were I.lcely to fall into their grasp in a very short time, he certainly did think it de,irable, both for the country and for the people of Ireland, that they should have before the House, fully ex plained and developed, the measures and policy which they pro fessed to adopt with respect to the government of Ireland."— ( Hear.) The ground of hope wa:, that e,e fear of embarrassi:g a future Conservative Guy , rament would lead the Conserva tive body to co-operate wi h Alini,ters is shuffling out of the discussion of the Maynooth question; that ground proved fallacious. Knowing, and pretending to know, noth ng more of the views of the Con ervati'e leaders than is comprised in the conviction that they are men el' sense and honest mei, we c in tell Lord MorFeqs that they will not take office upon the terms of leaving Ireland to the government of Mr. O'Connell and the Romasist priests wbo now ru'e that country ; they aid, we doubt not, impartially consult tt e interests of Romanists and Protestants—they may be even a li•tle indulgent to the erroneous prejudices of the former; but they will, and they taus', depose the pri.2sthood from its throne of despotism, or they cannot long count upon the support of the Protestant people of Great Britain, and of the Protes tants of Ireland. It must be, we see plainly enough, a task of difficulty to overthrow the exi:t:ng tyranny, but it is not a task beyond the power of gentleness, wind and firmness, such as we trust to find in Sir Robert Peel and Isis friends. (From the Courier.) The Presbytery of S'. Andrew's have rejected the pre sentee to Kemback, a parish within their bounds, in terms of the veto, and in compliar.co with its enact ments, the Prcabytcry at the same time knowing it to be contrary t 3 the law of the laud, but driven in this manner to do despite to this law, that they may not come under the spiritual censures of the Church 1 and in the elegant language of Dr. Chal s, take their part in a second " Reel o' Bogie I" What a fearful state of demoralisation must await the Church, whose Clergy are placed in this pail ful pre dicament! The presentee in this case is the son cf De. Cook, one of the most distinguished men of whom the Church of Scotland can at this day boast. He has been for some yolrs the most acceptable assistant to the clergyman whose successor he La; at length been ap pointed ; the pa i,h ele,rch has e3ntinued well attended, and although Dissent ng meeting-houses surround the palish, there is scarcely a Leader to be found i i it. Yet a majotity cf the " male heads of families being communicants," came forward, and seto Mr. Cook, taking a solemn declaratinu that if he vie,e their miarster they could not be edified by him I and he is rejected acecrdingly by the Presbytery, un e otected as they are th emse l v es by the . g law from suspension and depos . tion from the ministry should they rt fuse carrying tlei veto into effect. 13 it possi') . le that our earnest and repeate d entrea ti es that the Li gy latere would interfere in this presentee, cm] any longer be withstood ? Mr. C oo k, the presentee, and all others similarly situated, are tints intercepted in the enjoymeat of &Nei rights by a system of Church polity altogether new to the constitution of tl e Kirk, and as demoral'zing as it is illegal. And in this situation they must remain until Pa.liament irterfere—eompelled to seek the esta blishment of their rights by a suit at law, tedious, ruinously expensive, and ever y wa y i r ksome; and, be it ever kept in view, the moment they go info a Court of Law to make them good, stripped by the Church of their spiritual character, and held up to the Chtivitn people of the country as traitors to the Divine Master whom they pro!e . ss to seive, by a dominant " majority " in the General Assemtly, wee, forsooth, assume to be, par excellence, the " office hearers in His House," exercising therein a jurisdieton distinct from that of the Civil Magistrate. We again ask if such a state of matters is t be tolerated? SPORTIIN TELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER-TUESDAY EVENING. The result of the crack coursing t Altea.;• (which was appointed to commence this ro iiorable morning), coupled to the great steeple chase cf t 3 morrow, may na turally Le supposed to have acted considerably upon the strength of the room at noon. There were however left several influential turf geutlemer, who proceeded at five o'clock to Liverpool.

TlMES.—There was a general demand for stock in the market to-day, which, aided by the much easier state of money, eau , ed a marked improvement in the various descriptions. The main features of the late negotiation between the Chilian Government and the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders for the arrangemont of the arrears of interest have already been discussed. To•day at a public meetin; they were again brought forward, and the only new feature was the wish expressed in the despatches from our Minis'er there to his Government, that the bondholders should place in the hands of their agent definite terms, from which they would not re cede, this being, in his opinion, the practicable mode of bringing the matter in dispute to a speedy settlement. Lt agreeing to this the bondholders were almost unanimous, and, although a few wished, from the very flourishing state of Chili's finances,to make no sacrifice, it was resolved that the terms should be the capitalization of the arrears into a three per cent. stock, the first half-year's interest to to payable on the 30th of September, 1b45, in London, a provision being made for such holders as chose to merge their bonds into the internal debt of Chili upon an addition of 10 per cent. to the capital of the bonds, the interest to be thenceforward only eat able in the republic of Chili. To overthrow the endeavour on the part of the Chilian Government. to come into the market as a borrower, it was resolved that, except on these terms, the bondholders should refuse to agree to any alteration of the stipulations of the loan of 1822. CHRONICLE.—The probability of a sp edy reconcira lion of our late misunderstanding with France, as intimated yesterday, and again to-day, by the Morning Post, gives con fidence to the moneyed interest, and the prices of our home stocks arc accordingly improving. At the meeting of Spanish American bondholders, held to day, it was determir.ed not to accept the contemptible offer of Senor Tocornal, with regard to the overdue dividends on the Chilian debt. The refusal to this effect was signified by the unanimous vote of the parties assembled. The views of the Committee were, on the ether hand, fully supported. The Committee demand three per cent , payable in London in 18-15, but are against giving up the old well-worded bond ; the au thorisation of any new loans; and the creation of a local stock. The Committee arc desirous, however, that the last point shoulil be left entirely to the discretion of the bondholders, as an op tional and voluntary affair. We have not space this evening for a full report of the proceedings. A letter from Lord Palmerston was read, in which his Lord . hip promises to urge the just rights and legal claims of his auntrymen upon the whole of the non-paying States. This romise compels us involuntarily to refer to what we have just Aid of Toreno and the parties to the flagitious operations of 1836-7. Lord Palmerston must presume very largely upon .he simplicity of the unfortunate dupes. We tie Lord Palmer ston down to the duty he owes to his suffering subjects—for so, in truth, they are—in connection with Portugal and Spain. He Ind Lord Clarendon have much to answer for in relation to those faithless countries. Lord Palmerston sees that the bond holders have been swindled by the two Powers with the most heartless coolness. This would not have been the case but for the quadruple treaty in which he concerned himself, and the general countenance he and his protege have given to the Go vernments of the said natior.s. POST.—The improvement in the French Renfes, and an impression now entertained that France will sfeedily join the European alliance, produced a favourable impression on our funds. SUN. In the monetary world the leading feature I as been the Meeting of Chilian Bondholderr, the result of which has hems precisely what was anticipated, viz., tLe rejection of the amended propositions off. red by the Go vernment cf the Republic in its communicsticn of Sep tember last. The meeting passed ,evolutions expressive of their willingness to accept new bonds at par for the ar rears of intcrevt due to them, these to bear a dividend of three per cent. per annum. • It was acknowledged on all hands that Lord Palmerston had shown every desire to promote the interests of ti e bondholders, and had acted as became a British Mini•tcr, jealous of the honour and rights of his country. There was an advance in Consols this afternoon to 88 and 89 for money, and to 89a and 891 for account. Exchequer Bills were lOr. to 12s. premium, and India Bonds Bs. to 15s. discount. The New , Three-and-a• Half per Cents. brought 97-.9- to;. The Foreign securities were more dealt in today, and in most instances at rather improved rates. Spanish Ac tive Bonds were at 241 to 1, Portuguese New Five per Cents, at the Three per Cents, at 19/, Mexican Stock of 1837 at 283- to 1, Colombian of 1824 at 231 to Two per Cent. Venezula at 31, Peruvian at 17 to 1, at 601, and Brazilian at 72. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cente. were worth 50# to 50k, being an advance of about 1 per cent. The Railway Shares were advancing. Great Western touched 241 ; the New, 111 ; and the Fifths, 5 ex div. ; Birmingham, New S lares , were 24 prem.; an d Midland Countier, Quarter, 41 2 - prom. ; Brighton uere 61; and North Midland, 30 dio.

Mr. MILNES and Mr. HODSON present 2d similar petitions, but the names of the F eitilners were not heard in the gallery. Mr. HUTTON presented a petition to the same effect from the paper-stainers of Dublin. Mr. WARBURToN presented a petition from cer tain calico-printers of Manchester against the Bill. COPYRIGHT OF DESIGNS BILL. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, tic Order of the Day for the second tending 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 cc cupy the House with any observations, as he understood that her Majesty's Ministers were in favour of the principle of the Bill, and he thought thot any diffe rence on minor points would be matter of consideration in the Committee. Mr. WILLIAMS sa 7 d that when he was on the Committee appointed to investigate this subject he lied paid the greatest attention to the evidence. It appea el to him that there was no branch of manu‘a2tur ea which had been, up to the present time, more prosperous than the cotton manufacture. There was no branch in which larger fortunes had been made, or in which greater success had attended the outiay of capital; and he thought that before so great a change was proposed it should he 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 was 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 manufactures, he would state that the products in 1800 amounted to thirty-two millions of yarns ; in 1814 to one hundred and twenty-four millions ; and in 1830 to three hundred and forty-seven millions of yarns. 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 st 11 progressed as rapidly as at any former period. The smal 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 countr'. If those individuals bad thought that this branch of n a nufacture mould 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 had been made during a period of 50 years. When it was conside, ed that the object for effect;ng this greet and important change was, that a few indivi duals, and a very few, might be enable.' to seal sery small and circumscribed productions at a higher price, and thereby get a larger profit, he thought the Hou c 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 s ought ? It had been admitted by mill the witnesses, both for and against the measure, that the patterns aawarrwoads u thed were taken from of I patterns, and so quantity of patterns produced that esti mated the number produced in Manchester alone had been computed that had g been r amounted to 520,000 a year. I 30,000,000 of patterns had been !n e, p braced almost every object, device, The only resource for d and d u f c o e r d n w w h h ceh the e imagination of man cou ld sugge.. ‘t ug hreeve of Manchester , an Alderman forming new and original patterns was the old patterns. 'shelaatemagßoisroand tratr, who had been thirty years in the trade andprodue patternsd3t,hoaotOduring his i every experienceye a r , of had f stated to the Committee thirty years he had not seen two patterns which he could call original patterns. If the change that was now sought to be made in the copyright were effected, it would inflict a most severe blow upon an important branch of the trade of this country, and would give a great encouragement to persons engaged in the sa me trade in foreign countries. He thought that when so many branches of our manufactures were at the present moment in a state of great suffering, and this being a branch that was peculiarly exempt from that suffering, it ought to be the very list upon which so great and extensive an experiment should be made. (Hear, hear.) WIL-t preten ce was t h ere f or ma ki ng so great a change a, was now proposed in a law that had existed for forty years, upon a matter which, in reality, was every body's property, and which, in point of vilue, was a mere nothing?—(Hear.) . ..

Now, for things of an little value in themse.ve, and which were not original conceptions, he cou• tended that it was quite unnecessary to int.:" duce so great a change. One of the first corn... quenees of the Bill would be, that it would produce endless litigation. Under the law as it at Preteur st od, for a period of eigety years there Lad been only one aetion at law to maintain a eepyeight in a design. But the impossibility of ascertaining what a copy di set at an original design was would throw the greatest difficulties in the way, nod we'd 1 etc Ito :he greatest eat toirraasumet to the traCe. the of tl.e pidereipa! witnesses in fay.stir of the Bill Och; asked, " 5, , 0e1.1 you soy that one of these is a copy of the other ?'' replied, ° I sLould say that under ceitain circumstances was, ere; under other circurnstenees it was not."

Kershaw, who're productiote amounted to one million of pieces a year, and telter a ge ticman of high r: spectability, and Magistrate of Mar, etieeer, expressed an opinite: precisely in accordance wit's the gentlemen whom lie (Mr. Williams) quoted. Mr. Ross, a practical de signer, ald one of the Leat description of calico-printer:; expressed a similar opinion, aed he further stated the' there was very little real origiriality exiEting in patteree- Now, although there was a law that gave three month► . protection to those patterns, yet the producers iv designs had never availed themsatts of that protest' time and they had sta:el in their esidenee that they believed the mejority of the se persons engage in the calico printing trade had never proteetut tbe:r patterns. That was the opinion of those (jet. tlemen, and the inereated protection could tease no othe. object in view, but an increase of profit and the sale 1 their productions to the put]. c at a higher price the could now obtain for tte it. It was a most remade. able circumstance that the gentlemen who were opposed to this me ssurc—two of ti.earett least—stated that they never copied any man'. pattern in their lives, and another stated that he never copied any pat • tern before the terns of the cope right hiti: expired, and even then, not one in a hundred. Several of these get tlernen who st ore in favour of the Extension of the Copyright were copyists of French patterns. What did these gent:el ee say as to the exti nt of copying which new existed ? The Right hors.

He said that he engraved fifty patterns a weer., and that he could only mention one instance of those patterns having been copied. 'Feat gentleman hest also made the following reniarkaLle statement in It. evideute ; he said that novelty was the grand attract • tion, that it would at all tines command a preference of &dee though not always of price. While the House had such evidence ae that before them to dis prove the existence of any extensive system of copying such as could be injurious to the trade—coming, L), from parties who were hivousatle t.) all extended copy right, he hoped they would pause before they sanctioned. the Bill. It was the opinion of these gentlemen whit Kett unfavourable to the passing of the measure, that if it were to I e enforced there would Le no end to litd_ gation. Mr. Roe, an entitle .t Chancery barrister, wet one of die parties examined. lie sta e I that in one case in which proceedings in Chancery had been instituted, to obtain redress for the capying of a pattern, Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst said, when the patterns were shown to him, that he could not say which was tine 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 Cleo:eery case, it would be two years before an answer could be put in. When the cause had been s. t down tar be heard': might be a year 'and a half before it would come on for hearing. The same witoe,s, in unmet- to another question, said that patties were prevented from apperd ing to the ltw on account of tee dilly and expense, which he considered most unjust and disgrace ful to the law and diagreeeful to the Legisla ture.—(Hear, hear.) The lion M mher then read an:extract from the evidence el a solicitor of Manchester who was engaged in a cause of this kind in the Court of Chancery. That eentleman said that Lis cliects were worn out, and gave op their defence, although they had sufficient evidence to prove that the pattern against which an iejunetion had been obtained, was alto gether as original invention. Tire pattern was not worth 205., and the suit cost slit par ties upwards of 9001. eace. Ile trusted that the House would take care not to in crease the litigation which was described in those documents. A genii:man, manager for the printing concern of Henry and Company, in Dublin, had complained of tient- 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 had copied the patterns of cteer manufacturer!. Although that gentleman stated that he got his engravings done for live pounds, whilst tae original proprietor of the patterns paid ten pounds, yet he had abandoned copying altogether, although he could net be said to have done wrong, as the Act did not extend to Ire., land. He stated that wl.ea they copied the patterns they sold tlem at 40. , . a piece, ono half the price obtained by the original producer, arid yet they got at least 20-. profit. He (Mr. Wi liame) thought this gentleman at least had very good reason to be satisfied with the present law. Those Gentlemen who were seeking this ex , t insion %sere only attuatad by cupidity, and by a desire to get larger profit .. (Hear.) A gr ea t number el pamphlets had appeared on this subject. The %cry individuals who had denounced th e p resen t system as piracy and robbery,. acknowled ge th a t th e y the e:5( lees had Lean in the habit of copying French patterns. —( Hear, he sr; hear.) Was it not as much piracy and robbery to copy a French man's pettern as it was of one of their own countrymen. One of the gentlemen who lied given evidence fit- our of the extension, Mr. Pieter, state 1 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.) conside eel the meat serious and import ant consequence of this Bill was the area which :t would have upon the foreign t a'e of this country. S sine gent omen had state I that it would be a great advantage to foreigners to have the Bill passed. Mr. Lee's, one of the largest m inufacturers in this country, had stated that it the copyright were t) be extended, he would not v.:uturc to execute or ders ; that lie would give up the trade rather than be under the b an o f a l aw t h a t w ould pile', his 1 transactions in jeopardy and danger. Mr. Kershaw o _ I slid that the extension of the copyright would h i/ create high prices and large and five or in jure the foreign trade of this country;t.ed that opinion. six ether witnesses had corroborated felt that he ought ( C rite of " Di% ide, divide.")

He held in his hand a d ecement which showed the prog ress this branch of the trade had made. In die United States, tweety-five years ago, the trade was unknown. In the 3e ir 1839 they produced upwards of 1 00,000,000 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 rate. Our exportations to that country had been diminished year after year, till they were re duced, in the year 1839, to between 8 or 900,000 pi ec es. One point which he (Mr. Williams) svished, to observe upon , and u p o n which a great deal bud r teen enjoyed by the Fr enc h i n t h e i r pro duction of t his arti c l e.

His opinion was that it was entirely owing to their having established schools of design at the public ex , pease in all the departments of manufacture, which
