Sir Roundel' Palmer, Lord Stanley (the Earl of Derby), Mr. Macfie, and some other members of Parliament raised last session the whole subject of our Patent Laws, by advocating their entire abolition. The discussion has since been carried on with varying vigour. The Government promised to consider the matter, and many writQrs and speakers had come forward to show Ministers how to solve the difficulty. Mr. Charles Reade even has helped to discredit the sys tem which now obtains. In his vigorous novel, being published in the Cornhill Magazine, " Put Yourself in His Place," he describes in a pitiful tone "the sorrows of an inventor." The amount of trouble his hero had to go through to secure his right to his own idea is something very heart-rending ; and are — glad - to learn - frentr-rTgamest.ileadv News that a great deal of it is needless or impossible. Mr. Reade has spoken of various Chancery officials, and detailed divers Chancery pro ceedings ; the officials, and the arrangements with them arising in each case out of his own fertile ima gination. The reason why the Daily .News is thus anxious to set Mr. Reade right is explained by the Liverpool Post: the Government (our contem porary states) intend suggesting no Patent legislation this year. At the same time inquiry is thought necessary ; and a proposal will be made for a Parlia mentary committee—that mode of investigation being regarded as preferable to a Royal Commission. LAW REFORM. Vague and uncertain rumours are in circulation of forthcoming law reforms. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council is especially marked out for great changes. Some of our contemporaries are looking upon it as an arranged matter that the voluntary system, under which retired judges and Lord Chancellors out of employment are utilised, will be swept away, perhaps even in the coming session. A paid Presi dent,. we are told, and two paid .judges, are to be appointed. So very circumstantial is the report that an addition is made to it to the effect that Sir Roundell Palmer, Mr. Forsyth, and Mr. Dilke are to have the places. WELSH JURIES. Welsh juries are becoming notorious. The chief reason seems to be that only about half of an ordinary panel has a perfect knowledge of English. But this is not all. There is also a pleasing simplicity about W the character of the. `'Welsh juryman. in Anglesey the other day, one of the twelve sworn at the Quar ter Sessions sought a prisoner, and in the absence of the magistrates, proceeded to have a con fidential eonversation with him. " Where (the juror asked) did you get the flour you are said to have stolen?" The prisoner replied that his wife had got it "somewhere "—an answer which seems to have convinced four gentlemen that he was not guilty. As, however, eight were for conviction, the foreman returned into court. The jury, by eight to four (he said) had "agreed" upon a verdict. Of course he and his brethren were sent back again until they arrived at unanimity. The same jury, through their foreman, afterwards brought in a man as guilty—a verdict which turned out on their being interrogated in Welsh to be " slot guilty." Much the same muddle was made at the Flintshire Quar ter Sessions on Thursday. THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL IN NORTH DEVON. There was a strong muster of the North Devon Liberals at Barnstaple on Thursday evening in order to present a testimonial to Mr. E. S. Drewe, who has been the Liberal leader in the district for thirty years. Earl Fortescue, Earl Portsmouth, the Solicitor - General, and several M.P.'s were present. Earl Portsmouth, in proposing " Her Majesty's Ministers," likened Mr. Gladstone to a - man who combined the determination of Cromwell with the eloquence and political sagacity . of Chatham. The Solicitor-General replied in gene ral terms. Speaking of Bishop Temple, Sir J. D. Coleridge said he was a great and devoted man, whose succession to the Episcopal throne of Exeter they owed to the unflinching courage of Mr. Glad stone, and their own hearty and unbending support of him. THE SEE OF MANCHESTER. The Manchester Examiner makes the announce ment that the new prelate for Lancashire has been decided upon ; but Mr. Gladstone will not make his appointment public. Dean Howson seems to be the popular favourite; but Canon Miller is also very generally supported in the diocese. Mr. Liddon, Mr. Joseph Bardsley, Canon Robinson, and Mr. oles worth, Rector of Spotland, are each mentioned. Mr. Rains, who supported Mr. Gladstone so earnestly at Wigan, is thought a probable selection by some of his friends. THE RED RIVER REBELLION. The news from the Red River Settlement is much more lively than agreeable, The small number of armed settlers who are called " the insurgents " are having everything their own way at present. They have tried forty-five loyal Canadians, and have sentenced them to banishment from the agreeable region over which the rebellion extends. The tele graph tells us, too, that a reign of terror prevails amongst the inhabitants. The insurgents are mostly French settlers, though what they want is as pro blematical as ever. But it is quite as well that the resolution to arm the Indians against them has not been persevered with. THE SUEZ CANAL. Mr. Bateman, who represented the Royal Society at the inau g uration of the Suez Canal, gave an ac count of M. do Lesseps' great work before that body on Thursday evening. He pronounced the canal a success, not perfect, certainly, but still a decided success. He had no doubt that the water-way could be more easily kept in working order than the streets of London could be kept free ? clean, and in proper repair. As to the financial . question, he had been assured that, after paying interest on capital, cost of main tenance, and all expenses, there would, on the lowest calculation, be a large clear surplus. IiLECTION DOINGS. The seat at Bridnorth, left vacant by the resigna tion of Mr. H. Whitmore, will be sought by . Mr. W. H. Foster, in the Liberal interest. He has issued an address, in which he promises an independent sup port to the Gladstone Government. The Liberals of Lynn have completed their investigations touching Conservative " practices " at the last election. The re sult has proved unsatisfactory to them, and it has been decided not to petition against the return of Lord Claud Hamilton. THE MAN WHO DIDN'T GET IN. Mr. John Martin, writing from New York about a fortnight before his decisive defeat for Longford County by Mr. Greville Nugent, explains the policy he would adopt had he been returned. He believes in the demands of the extreme Irish party, but objects to all violent means of securing them. What he desires is "a peaceful settlement of Ireland's national quarrel with the English, in the form of a repeal of the Act of Union, which was imposed upon Ireland in 1800 by fraud and force, and by means of which the English have usurped the power to make laws for Ireland against the wishes and interests of her people." Had he been elected, he would have striven for this end by constitutional means. But the people of Longford.were not to be won by this pro gramme. The priests declared against Mr. Martin, and the pacific Nationalists of Longford have been able to muster an array of only 411 votes, against 1,578 granted to the successful competitor. A petition against Mr. Greville Nugent is spoken of on the ground of intimidation and corruption. Proofs of the economical tendencies of the Minittry are abundant. The Mayor of Southampton has found out that it was a mistake to take carte blanche in the matter of expenses whilst the election petition wits being heard in that town. lie sent in a bill for £378, and the Treasury has cut it down to £133. The Mayor demanded £l7B odd for fitting up the cjurt, and he has got only £4O; for judges' lodgings he charged 100 guineas, and has been allowed £5O; for messengers, trumpeters, and heralds (what can the latter personages have to do with an election petition?) he asked £l6, and is granted £3 45.; and so on with other items. THE WORKING MAN IN SOUTHWARK. Were the Southwark election coming off next week, Mr. Odger and his supporters could not be more active. The Irish electors have pronounced for him. At a large gathering of Ilibernians on Thursday night, Mr. MDonnell, secretary of the Amnesty Committee, declined to come forward as a candidate, but strongly urged that the Irish vote should be given to Mr. o.lger. "Of Mr. Odger I can only say, if he cannot serve you, he will never do you harm. His voice, I am certain, will at all times be raised on behalf of the impoverished and degraded people of Ireland. Then give him your undivided support, and shew the press and the people how you appreciate an honest Englishman." Mr. Stuart Mill, too, has been asked to become a candidate, and he also declines, partly because he has determined for the present not to re-enter Parlia ment, and partly because he thinks Mr. Odger the right man, and will not interfere with him. The working-man candidate himself is energetic. lle addressed an open-air meeting of some 5,000 persons on. Thursday evening. The artisans of the borough have got bands and banners to work. MALLOW. The position of electoral matters at Mallow has materially changed of late. Mr. Byrne, the tenant .:aht&r. ilaa 'withdrawn. and Major Knox. represent- THE GOVERNMENT AND THE VOLUNTEERS. At a special meeting of the metropolitan com manding officers, held at the offices of the National Rifle Association to consider certain pro positions from her- Majesty's Government with regard to the support to be given to the volun teers, - Colonel Lord Fleho ;aid the - circular of the Secretary for War dealt with points raised by volunteer officers while at an interview with him. They were that on inspection and field days the volunteer force should be brought into connection with the regular forces, and that the civilian character of the volunteer force should be maintained when not actually in the field; that only the expenses of efficients could be recognised as fair to charge against the public, and that therefore every Volun teer be expected to become efficient and earn the capitation grant, or contribute a like amou n t to the funds of his corps ; and that all necessary expenses of efficients, namely, all the expenses which the Secretary of State for War could admit to be necessary, should be borne by the public. It was proposed to abolish the 20s. capita tion allowance, and retain the 305., and to make the class rules for rifle practice less stringent. Various other propositions were made. A long discussion took place, it being eventually agreed that a committee of nine commanding officers, represent ing all branches of the volunteer service, should be formed to draw up a series of questions for ascertain ing the opinions of all the volunteer commanding officers throughout the kingdom. PROFESSOR FAWCETT ON EDUCATION. At a meeting of the Young Men' s Ch r i s tian Asso- Aiation, at Cambridge, Professor Fawcett, in speaking on the subject of education, paid a tribute to those who have neither spared labour nor money to edu cate the people through the principles of voluntaryism. He argued that Government interference can only b 3 tolerated if that which it seeks to do cannot be done without it. Facts, he contends, prove beyond dispute, that if we went on in the future as we had in the past, the education of the nation would never b 3 secured. Everything should be done not to interfere more than is necessary between the parent and child, but we ought for ever to banish the idea that liberty is in the slightest degree in fringed if a parent is prevented from inflidting upon his child the irreparable injury which ignorance entails. "I maintain," says Professor Fawcett, "that in a civilised country a man is as clearly bound to educate his child as he is to feed and clothe him." LORD AIRLIE ON THE LEASE SYSTEM. The Earl of Airlie condemns Mr. Buxton's propo s.tien to grant l e a ses t o a ll I r i s h t enan t s - a t- w ill, even with the reservation that land in permanent pasture ba exempted. Take, for example, the case of a parson who has purchased an Irish property in the reasonable expectation that in a few years he will be able to let a large portion of the land on building leases. " lie has given a high price, and has acquired, as he thinks, an indefensible parlia mentary title, and a right to turn the land he has purchased to the most profitable account. If you re quire a person in this position to give leases to all tenants at will at their present rents you are, in fact, confiscating all the money that he has paid for the property over and above the agricultural value of the land." Many instances of this kind would occur. In fact, it is impossible, says Lord Airlie, to pass a:i Act of Parliament which would make proper provision for each individual case. The only remedy is to appoint a commission or court of equity to deal with each case on its own merits. MR. MADDEN AND THE GOVERNMENT. Mr. Madden, who has been recently- removed from the Commission of the Peace for using language in sulting to the Government, writes a letter to the newspapers, stating that he has received so many letters of sympathy from all parts of the kingdom that it would be impossible to answer them. He complains of " reckless misstatements of the Radical Press," and that he has been confounded with his brother, Captain Madden, who is very " outspoken," but not a magistrate. Mr. Madden repudiates the imputation that he intended to scoff at the honour of serving the Queen, and declares that what he did in tend was "to protest against being made the tool of a Ministry , who was leading the country on the high road to ruin." ~ • SIR C. DILKE ON FOREIGN POLICY. Sir Charles Dilke has been telling his constituents at Kensing_ton what he thinks about our relations abroad. lle said a good deal as to what would happen if certain great wars in which one half of , Europe was arrayed against the other took place ; but as these combinations are not pro bable, their results are not highly interesting. • More to the point is fir Uharles'iltcrittaA4st ltussian pro gress in Central Asia. He thinks the march of Mus covite power far more dangerous to American inte rests in China and. Japan than to English interests in India. A. Russian annexation of China must be avoided by adherence to our peace policy. Respecting the Alabama claims, the member for Chelsea expressed his opinion that the speech of Mr. Sumner was misinterpreted, for it was only the explanation of the American case as it has always been stated. The President, in his late message, had said that the recognition of belligerency was a matter which every nation should consider for itself—a declaration which must have been made to pave the way for a settlement of the Alabama question. Instead of resorting to arbitration, an English commission, Sir Charles thought, should. he appointed to assess the claims. If a special envoy were sent, and Mr. Bright refused to go, Sir Henry Bulwer and the Duke of Argyll were both good men; but he was of opinion that the mission at Washington should be made a first-class one. In any case negotiations must take place at Washington, as the Senate was the treaty making power. THE NEW COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA. The Times of yesterday is kind enough to inform us that "important telegraphic information from China has been received announcing that, previous to his departure from Pekin Sir Rutherford Akock con cluded the negotiation of a treaty with the Imperial Government." It is to be regretted that this telegram is so obscure as to render the terms of the treaty almost unintelligible ; but the defect is of less consequence, as the announcement of the treaty, and its main stipulations were given by Central Press telegram several days ago, and therefore the " important telegraphic information " is no infor mation at all. The terms given by the Times are much the same as those al ready published by us. One sentence of this message is as follows:—" A. transit duty of 21 per cent. to be levied on imports at treaty ports, in addi tion to the present duty of 5 per cent. Imports to be subsequently held free of duty by the Chinese Government. If the goods are taxed, a receipt to be given, and the amount levied to be made good by the Government." The Times presumes that the transit duty of 21 per cent. on imports is supposed. to bo intended to free importers from the various ex tortions to which they have hitherto been liable in the interior, the Government undertaking to refund any amounts which may be forcibly exacted by local authorities. The duty on opium is raised to 50 taels and that on silk doubled. THE LICENSING SYSTEM. That hitherto not imperially famous journal the Licensed Victuallers' Guardian has got into Govern ment confidence, and is able to tell us that a bill to amend the licensing system is in preparation. «One of its provisions is eccentric enough to have been framed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is to the effect that all new licences will in future be subject to monetary competition—that is, assum ing the magistrates of a district town or county are prepared, for example, to grant six new licences, then each of the applicants will be required to send in a sealed tender, stating what premium he is prepared to pay for the grant of the licence. The magistrates will open these tenders, and the lice nce will be granted to the highest bidder." This clause is, indeed, quite eccentric enough for Mr. Lowe or any other Minister soever. The Guardia?' hopes to lay all the clauses before the trade in its next issur and if the remaining provisions are anything ' remarkable sample, both the trade and will enjoy an intellectual treat. The:4,o Victuallers' Association is alarmed at tly. the new bill. It is proposed to organ, oonositiou. - - .
