By P. B. TEMPLETON, Late Reporter for the " Manchester Times." W. S. Orr and Co., Amen Corner, Paternoster •row, London; Bancks and Co , St. Ann's-square, and Heywood, Oldham street, Manchester ; and may be had of all Booksellers. By these Lessons any person may make himself acquainted with stenography in an incredibly short time. The author re quests attention to the following notices -- " Possessing at least fifteen years' practical experience, and having read every system of shorthand I could obtain access to—Caving myself a collection of about sixty different systems, printed and in MS.—I may say that, as it appears to me, you are the first to strike out of the beaten path of steno-- graphical writers and teachers, in the mode of your instruc tion and order of your lessons I think a mom rapid progress may be made in the knowledge, not only of your particular system, but of the principles of the art generally, by your book than by any other I have seen."—Let ter from Mr. J. Harland, Reporter, Manchester Guardian. " The simplicity and orderly arrangement of the lessons ar e such as we have never seen equalled ; indeed, nothing better adapted to the wants of students of short-hand could be des sired or conceived."—Manchester Courier. " From the clear and easy rules laid down in it to instruct the learner, it is one of the best works on short-hand that a student can possibly lay hold of; and, viewing it in comparison with other works on the subject, we do not think it has a com petitor."—Manchester Times. " We have looked through this treatise with much satisfac tion, and believe we are safe in recommending it to the atten tion of all intending students of the art, as the most complete, sensible, and practicable system ever brought under our notice." —Manchester and Salford Advertiser. " The arrangement of the lessons is at once novel and ex cellent, and the instructions are conveyed in clear and perspi cuous langua g e . We have no hesitation in saying that the learner needs no other instructor than this little work to enable him to acquire the art, and to practise it with success." —Leeds Times. " We have read this little treatise very attentively, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it the best work on the subject that has yet been published."—Post Magazine. " Mr. Templeton's character as a short-hand writer, in con nection with the press for a number of years, is a sufficient guarantee of the practicability and excellence of his system." —Manchester Chronicle. " Mr. Templeton's great experience and general accuracy as a short-hand writer entitle his observations on the teaching of the art to careful attention. From our own knowledge of Mr. Templeton's capabilities, as well as from a careful perusal of his work, we have formed a very high opinion of its merits." —Leeds Intelligencer. " Among the best works on this branch of science is one I lately published by Mr. P. B. Templeton, a gentleman who has been a long time connected with the English press, and who is as skilled in the practice as in the theory of short-hand writing."—Dublin Pilot. " The exercises given only require a little attention to be understood ; and we may venture to assert, that with Mr. Templeton's six lessons as guides, if the learner possesses ap plication for study and opportunity for practice, he may ac quire, in a short time, sufficient knowledge of short-hand to be able to follow the most fluent speaker."—Dublin Evening Packet. " We have read this little book with great care and attention, and we feel no hesitation in recommending it as the very best treatise we have ever read on the science of short-hand. It is the practical work of a practical man. Nothing is laid down by the author as proper to he done that he has not himself found to be so—and that the writer of this, who has had some fifteen years experience in the Law Courts, at public meetings, and in the gallery, does not cordially approve of."—Planet. " Those who wish to know short-hand, and desire to prac tise it, as they see it every day used by those connected with the Press, will learn the six lessons' by Mr. Templeton, and persevere with them. Those who have a desire to be deluded —to lose at once their money and their time—will deal with the advertising quacks who profs ss to make men accomplished stenographists in a few days—they might as well profess to teach a child to read in six hours from the first moment at which it commenced learning its alphabet. Mr. Templeton professes no such thing. Ile gives six good lessons in short hand—and he leaves them to the learner, with sountl advice, that requires only to be followed to be most profitable."—Bell's New Weekly Messenger. " After giving Mr. Templeton's book a careful perusal, we have much pleasure in recommending it as tne best work 013 the subject we ever happened to meet."—Bolton Free Press. " The student will find this a simple and easy system. The alphabet, the prefixes, and terminations, as well as the arbi traries, appear to be easy of acquisition, and judiciously selected for rapidity in writing, while the rules and exercises are so plain and succinct that they cannot be misunderstood."—York Herald. " To those who are about to engage in tl e study of this use ful and interesting science we would point out this cheap little work as worthy of their attention, feeling assured that the carrying out of the system laid down will enable them to realize most of the great and important advantages connected with it. It is written by a practical man, one who has had many years experience in short-hand writing, both for his ow n private purpose and for the benefit of the public in connection with the newspaper press in some of the largest towns in this country."—Yorkshireman. Besides these the opinions of nearly fifty other periodicals might be quoted, all of which speak equally in favour of the merits of this little work. Just published, in royal limo., cloth, price 3s. ; and sent it Town or Country free, by post, 3s. 641., MANHOOD: the CAUSES of its PRE. , MATURE DECLINE, with Plain Directions for ITS PERFECT RESTORATION; addressed to those suf fering from the destructive effects of Excessive Indulgence, Solitary Habits, or Infection ; followed by Observations on the TREATMENT of SYPHILIS, GONORRHEA, GLEET, & c , Illustrated with Cases, &c.

Published by the Authors, and sold by Balliere, Medical Bookseller, 219, Regent-street ; 59, Pall Mall ; Sxange, 21, Paternoster-row ; Pattie, 4, Brydges-street, Strand ;8, D'Olier-street, Dublin; Duncan ,114, High-street, Edinburgh; and to be-had of all Booksellers. The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the o . dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. 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 of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five ill Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to he as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and M all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied en.

The present Lovel and sci entific method of supplying Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a supply, and shutting it down to withdraw it ; in this state it cannot evettlow, whatever may be the change of temperature, and it is protected from dust. or other injury in any place or climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use, and the writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear Ink for four or six months. PERRYIAN LIMPID INK.

ROYAL• GALLERY OFSCIENCE, ADELAIDE STREET. _ NooN MARCH 27 BArometer.. Thermometer Highest 6B LotA est Wind W. —Freezing Point 32 Deg. PRESENTATION OF A CUP T T. S. DUNCOMBE, ESQ. On Saturday at twelve o'cock, the following gentle men, members of the Adelphi company, viz. Messrs. Yates, Paul Bedford, Wilkinson, 0. Smith, Wright, George Wieland, Lyon, and Cutlingford, waited upon Mr. Duncombe, Member for Finsbury, for the purpose of presenting a richly traced and highly chased and cm. bossed cup, weighing fifty-seven ounces, to the Hon. Member for the important character he recently per formed in " St. Stephen's Chapel" in the cause of the drama. The cup was subscribed for by the members of the Adelphi company, and cost fifty guineas, and was got up in splendid style by Messrs. Green and Ward. It had two massive handles ; on one side the arms of Mr. Duncombe were beautifully engraver), and on the opposite side was inscribed— " TO THOMAS SLINGSBY BUNCOMBE, ESQ., M.P. "MEASURE FOR MEASURE. " This cup was presented as a small token of gratitude for his exertions in the Commons House of Parlia ment in behalf of the drama and its professors, by the following members of the Adelphi company." Mr. Yates, in a very appropriate address, presented the cup, and Mr. Duncombe, in answer, defended the advantages arising from a proper representation of the drama in all civilized countries. Mr. Keeley and Mr. Hemming (though unconnected with the theatre) subscribed liberally to the cup. Mr. Paul Bedford (on the depuation taking leave), as an active member of the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund Committee, solicited the honour of Mr. Duncombe's company to dinner on Wednesday next, at the annual festival of the fund. The Hon. Member, though he would not make a positive promise to attend, said he would make the most strenuous effort to do so. BADMINTON, THURSDAY.—There was a grand lawn meeting yesterday, when the Duke and Duch ess o f Beaufort gave a splendid dejeuner to the Mayor and Corporation of Bristol, and a numerous party of the nobility and gentry of Gloucester. It being the last meet of the Duke's hounds at the lawn this season, the field was unusually brilliant, there being upwards of 1,200 equestrians and forty carriages, the greater number with four horses. The breakfast was served up in princely sty l e . The Duke was unable to join his friends in the chace on account of the injuries he sustained by being thrown from his horse last week, but was represented by Mr. Dixon, comptroller of the household. The weather was remarkably fine, and the bounds had an exce'lent run of forty-five minutes, when th 4 fox was run to ground. There were on the field upwards of 500 red coats, and altogether it was one of the best meetings ever witnessed in the country.

WALSALL ELECTION COM. MITTEE. The Committee met at the usual hour on Saturday. Lord Eliot in the chair. William Winter Lates, whose examination was going forward when the Committee adjourned on Friday, was called in and examined by Mr. COCKBURN—Witness had no other account book as an innkeeper than that produced on Friday. Patch was called Davis by several persons. The notes addressed to him that were seen by witness were directed to Mr. Davis. Witness in keeping his accounts don't proceed from page to page, but makes the entry wherever he happened to open the book. Gave a treat on the 13th of January to Mr. Gladstone's voters. Intends to apply for payment to Mr. Thurston, as it waa, he that directed the treat to be given. The bill amounted to 131. Both Mr. Brookes and Mr. Thurston ordered the treat. Thurston was to pay 3/. of the cost, and Brookes the remainder. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Wneeriaraem—Mr. Davis was not alone when at witness's house ; his lady was with him. It was for her the second breakfast and dinner were entered. Breakfast, dinner, ale, brandy, wine, tea, and bed formed part of the items of the lady's account. She was not ill, at least did not appear to be so. She could partake of those articles just as well as witness. There was also an item for a box of pills. Mr. COCKBURN—That vas for the invalid. Mr. Sergeant WRA NGIIAM—But here's an item of 10s. for wine ; that accounts for the pills.—(Laughter.) Davis had not any money, and could not pay for what he got. Mr. 1 hurston ordered witness to go to the extent of 31., but as the sum appeared too small, and Mr. Brookes ordered 101. worth more to be given, it was a treat to witness's customers. 31. would not have given them half a pint each. Those people were for the most part workmen in the factories. They were not voters. Re •examined by Mr. Cocreurter—Was not accustomed to entertain a rabble. Would not swear that the gentlemen told him to open his house to 'Mr. Gladstone's friends. By Mr. HAYTER—The account is the book was not Davis's original account. By Lord ELIOT—It was copied from another account. It was accurately copied. Several leaves were lost. By Air. HAYTER.—Copied Davis's account into the book be cause it was the only one required. The leaves might be at home, or they might be burnt for all he knew. Did not know what became of them. They were at home when he left. Thought it better to bring the copy than the original. There was nothing written on the loose leaves relative to the entertainment given at his house. They were connected solely with the commercial room. Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER directed the attention of the Committee to the terms of the Speaker's warrant, which re quired the witness to produce all books, accounts, and memo randums relating to the supply of liquor. In reply to Mr. HAYTER, witness said that he only looked at the top of the warrant. Examination resumed—Patch or Davies brought a friend to witness's house, who had some wine with him. His name was Fisher. He was a neighbour of witness's. He was a voter, and voted, he believed, for Mr. Gladstone. By Lord ELlOT—Patch produced a note from Mr. Barnett, which he did not consider sufficient security for the bill, and he destroyed it. Destroyed it before he got the warrant. By Mr. Hay TER— Finding the note not directed to him, did not consider it security for the bill, as Mr. Kilner passed his word to witness. By Sir W. RAE—Patch tore off a small piece of the note. The fragment that remained with witness contained directions to Patch to send his account to the inn, and the writer, Mr. Barnet, would see it paid. James Kilner examined by Mr. AU STIN—Is the landlord of the new inn at Walsall—was so at the last election. The no mination day was Monday, the Ist of February last, and the polling day Tuesday, the 2nd of that month. Has two large rooms in his house, both up stairs, for his customers. There are two entrances to those rooms. Two hundred persons might be accommodated in the long room, and about thirty five in the other, called the Commercial-room. The electors who had eaten and drunk in his house paid some for what they had, and others did not pay. The eating and drinking began on the Monday at about eight o'clock in the morning, as the house is a commercial house and there were commercial travellers in the house who had breakfast. Won't swear that he did not go into the long room immediately on getting up. Thought he did not go into it till about one o'clock in the day. When he first went into the room there were several persons in it. Would not swear that there were not 200 of the electors whom he saw regaling themselves in the long room. During these two days there were four or five commercial travellers in the house, but their account was not mixed up with the account witness was about to produce. Mr. Sergeant WRA NG HAM here submitted that the Learned Counsel on the other side was not entitled to go on showing what was done at Kilner's, without proving its connection with Dlr. Barnett. He apprehended that the decision come to by the Committee on Thuisday warranted him in holding that opinion. The Noble CHAIRMAN said that the Committee had de cided that it was expedient to prove the connection of the pro ceedings referred to by the Learned Sergeant with 31r. Barnett. However, they did not wish tospreseribe to Counsel the description of evidence they ought to adduce. Mr. Sergeant WRAN GHAM apprehended that the decision come to on that occasion applied in the present instance, and that Counsel on the other side ought to refrain from the course they were pursuing. Lord ELIOT—The Committee would not prescribe a course of procedure to Counsel ; they, however, thought it as well to connect the proceedings of the inn with the agency. Examination resumed—Charged the refreshments given to himself under the title of opening day. Mrs. Kilner made air entry of refreshments as stated, but charged it to no one's account. His account amounted to about 1501. Would willingly spend that sum in the cause. Never applied for that sum to any one, and never intended to apply for it ; would willingly take the amount if he was offered it by any per son. Considered that, on the score of payment, Patch de ceived him. He applied to witness for the accommodation of voters lest they would be run away with by the opposite party. Witness in consequence went to Alr. Barnett, and Mr. James said to Mr. Barnett there was much treating going on at the New Inn, and Mrs. Kilner wished to know was it authorized by him. Did not recollect what was the nature of Mr. Barnett's reply. There was a greater amount incurred after seeing Mr. Barnett than before. Had no intention, after seeing Mr. Barnett, of applying for payment for the refreshments. Con sidered himself as having no claim on Mr. Gladstone's Com mittee, but there were many friends of witness who he knew would not see him at any loss ; those friends were not in any way connected with Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Ausern pressed the witness very much to state distinctly whether, when supplying the refreshments, he intended to give them away—to give them for nothing, and without expectation of payment ? The witness was directed to withdraw till the Committee would decide as to Counsel putting the question again. After some discussion between Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and Mr. Austin as to whether the witness had given a distinct answer to the question, the Committee decided that the question should be put again. The witness was then called in and the examina tion resumed. Did not mean to give the refreshments away. Knew that there wet e many of his fliends who would not see him at a loss, but would sooner lose the sum than apply to the Committee for it. Expected to be paid for it, but did not care much about the debt. The witness then detailed the attack upon his house, which he described as being of a very violent character. They eventually succeed ing in repelling the mob, who were armed with blud geons. Patch represented himself as a Parliamentary Agent, and gave me his card as such. He told me that he came from the Carlton Club, and I believed him to be a true man, and guaranteed his bill at the hotel, and gave him 41. to take him to London. Mr. Barnett said I might lend Patch the money. I have no claim against Mr. Gladstone or Mr. Barnett, but I drew up the bill in the form it now is at Patch's request, who told me I could not otherwise be paid. Mr. Wilkins, the barrister, was brought there to be heard against the repeal of the Corn-laws. He used to make speeches in favour of the Corn-laws, arid Acland against them. To Mr. AUSTIN—I live chiefly by my inn. I act from im pulse, and have often given large treats, but I never gave away 1501. Patch did not promise that I should be paid by the Carlton Club. I never intend to ask Mr. Barnett or Mr. Gladstone for a penny. Mr. . Barnett has never held out any hope of payment to me. He told me he would not sanction any expense at my house. When the attack was made upon my house, between three and four in the morning, there were a great number of Mr. Gladstone's friends inside. I dont know whether there were any of them voters or not. Seven or eight persons, including myself, were seriously hurt. The persons who were hurt were all friends of Mr. Gladstone. The ma jority of the Corporation and Magistrates of the Borough were opposed to Mr. Gladstone. Mr. AUSTIN said it was half-past three o'clock, and he was very tired. He wished to know whether the Committee had any objection to an adjournment? The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had arranged to sit till four o'clock. Elizabeth - Taylor, examined by Mr. AUSTIN—I was es.. waitress in Mr. - Kilner's employment, at the last election, at the New Inn. I recollect the night of the nomination. There was a great number of persons, at least 100, going in and out during the day. I should say there were about 4U during the night. The CHAIRMAN inquired if there were any material facts as to the parties by whom Kilner was employed, to be stated by the witness. Because he thought he could say for the Committee that they were satisfied that there had been a good deal of treating and drinking there during the day. Mr. AUSTIN was perhaps satisfied with what had been stated on that point ; but he feared he and his Learned Friend might not agree as to what might be admitted as proved. Atter some discussion it was decided that the examination of the witness should be proceeded with. Examination resumed. —I saw ten or a dozen persons eating and drinking on Tuesday. I saw Marlow on the Monday evening. I did not w ait i n the long room at all. There were two or three strange waiters employed. I saw Mr. Barnett come to our house several times, but he did not stay.f Mr. AUSTIN s aid he did not intend, aft er the expression of Mr. Sergeant WItANGITAM said the L earne d C ounsel s h ou ld be prepared to st ate whether he intended to close his case then or examine furthe r witnesses on Monda y . the the s o a p ut in e io e n las of s thea the last.

ALDAN'S ELECTION COM MITTEE. the hustings on the day of election. The Committee met again on Saturday at Eleven o'clock, when Mr. John Brookes was cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN. Witness said The hustings occupied a l a rge space; they were sometimes very full, and at others nearly empty. (A model of the hustings was here produced.) They were never quite empty during the day. I was one of the tally clerks for Mr. Cabbell, and was anxious that he should succeed. The Mayor is a Con servative. when Hardy came By the CHAIRMAN-- up to vote he was oath • required to take the bribery ,; he did not abject to tako the oath, but• refused to take n .- I was at tois hat off, and, therefore, the Mayor refused to adininister it him. Thi s c i rcumstance 'led to great confusion , during which Mr. Edwards addressed the Mayor on the subject. Hardy was strongly urge d to ta k e his hat off, but he refuse d for a length of time, but at last con sented, took the oath, and polled. The Rev. James Brogden examined by Mr. TALROT—I am a clergyman of the Church of England ; I was curate of St. Michael's nearly three years ; I voted at the last election at St. Alban's for Mr. Cabbell, and was one of those who signed a requisition to the Mayor to admi nister the bribery oath as the electors presented themselves to poll. I perfectly remember a mans of the name of Adams coming up ; it was before 12 o'clock. Adams when he came into the booth was close to Mr. Cabbell. He (Adams) called for the returning officer, which excited great attention. I left my place and went close to Adams to learn all he had to say. Adams made a statement in a very distinct tone of voice, andin a very firm manner. Mr. TALBOT.—Then now tell the Committee what it was that Adams said. _ Mr. COCKBURN objected to the question. The resolution o the Committee, that a similar question could not be put to Adams, applied to the present case. His Learned Friends had failed to prove the agency of Mr. Webster, and therefore any statement of Adams could not effect Lord Listowell. This was only an attempt to give the go-by to the resolution of the Committee, and could not be entertained by the Committee. He repeated, that if the agency of Mr. Webster was not proved, anything that Adams said or did could not affect Lord Listowell. The room was then cleared, and the Committee remained in deliberation upwards of half an hour. On the re-admission of strangers, The CHAIRMAN said—The Committee are unanimously of opinion that the question cannot now be put. Mr.. Brogden recalled. Mr. HILLYARD—You have said that what Adams stated must have been heard by Lord Lord Listwell ? (Witness—Yes. Mr. HlLLY.s.an—After that, what was it you said to Lord Listowell ? Mr. COCKBURN objected. The Committee decided that the question might be put. Witness recalled, and the question repeated. I staid to Lord Listow el, "Here is purity of election and freedom of conscience." I made this remark in a loud voice close to his Lordship. When Adams came to the hustings he brought with him a small paper parcel which he gave to the Mayor, and made a statement. The Mayor afterwards opened the parcel. I saw the contents of that parcel ; it consisted of two 51. notes and two sovereigns. The notes were of the bank of Mr. Muskett. Lo. d Listowell was present when the parcel was opened. The Mayor inspected the notes, which he took out of the parcel. Mr. HlLLyAltn—Did the Mayor in the presence of Lord Listowell ask Adams, from whom he received the notes and the sovereigns? Mr. COCKBURN addressed the Committee against entertain ing the question, which shortly afterwards the Committee ad journed. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

EASTERN QUESTION.—We have reason to believe that the French Government received, on Thurs day, intelligence from the East, by which the amicable arrangement of the Turkish and Eastern question is f the present suspended. We are without precise informa tion, and cannot bo responsible for more than giving the concluding words of the despatch submitted to us—" Ides affaires de l'orient son; de nouveau tout a fait embrouillie F." .....Morning Paper. FRENCH LA REPORT OF M. DE LAMARTINE ON THE FRENCH COPYRIGHT BILL. " Gentlemen,—ln constituting property society had three objects in view. The remuneration of labour, the per petuation cf a family, and the increase of the public wealth. Justice, forethought, and interest are the three bases of all possession?. Why should they, therefore, not baye a place in the constitution of literary or artistical pi operty ? This was the first and most important ques tion for the consideration of your Committee. In this, as during the whole course of its labours, it could derive no advantage from the experience of pre-existing legislations. All was to be discovered and created. Antiquity was si lent, and modern legislcion had only spoke in an arbi trary, confused, and frequently contradictory language. An outline of the law of Jan. 19, 1791 ; a decree of the Convention of July 19, 1793; another decree of Feb. 5, 1810; an admirable project of M. de Salvandy ; and a dis cussion in the Chamber cf Peers, were the only landmarks to point out a path to us. " The only code to which your Commission could turn was natural equity. " Some men live by the sweat of their brow, others by that of their brain. The results of these labours ar dif ferent, but the title of the labourer is the same. Tine struggle with the land and the change; of season, and reap the visible fruits of their labours. The others have to con tend against ideas, ignorance, and prejudices. Their pages are watered with the t il-wrung sweat of intelli gence, too often with tears, sometimes even with their blood, and thus, at the sport of time and fortune, they reap misery or public favour, martyrdom or gLry. These palpable and incontestibte results of material labour have appeared in their most striking form to the legislator. He said to the labourer who tilled the ground, ' This field shall be thine, and shall be inherited by thy offspring, and all thy succeeding generations shall reap the reward of thy labours.' And thus was instiSaated territorial property, the basis of families, the foiindetion of permanent and enduring society. " By virtue of a just and nataral induction, the day must come when the work of intelligence will be consi dered as an useful labour, and the fruits thereof a pro perty. But by a generosity worthy of its nature, the idea which had created all fcrgot itself. It only asked to hand down a glorious name to posterity, whilst the family of the poet and philosopher, whose works formed the intel le,stual wealth of a whole nation, were pining in want and misery. The idea came from God, seas useful to man, and returned to God, leavirg a bright furrow on the brow of him on whom genius had lighted, and on the name of his sons. " Is it just, is it useful, is it possible, to leave the pro perty of their labours in the hands of authors or their fami lies ? These are the three questions on which we have to deliberate. And have not these questions been answered beforehand? What is justice but the proper:ion between cause and effect, between labour and retribution? As man employs some portion of his powers, a few short easy hours of his life, aided by a capital transmitted to him by his fathers in the cultivation of his estates, or in some lucrative trade, he heaps up riches upon riches, and partakes largely of all the joys and luxuries of life. The possession of all this is ensured to him for the term of his natural life, and after him to his chil dren, or those whcm he shall point out by will. Another man pastes his whole life, consumes his moral powers, enervates his physical forces, forgetful of himsel f , his family, and friends, to enrich mankind with one of these noble works of intellect, or some of these ideas, which cause millions cf men to think. He dies, but he succeeds. His noble work and sublime ideas have gone forts, and have been seized upon by the intellectual world, as also by the trading and speculating portion of mankind. It becomes a slow and frequently posthumous source of wealth. It throws millions into circulation, and is ex ported as if it were a natural productioa of the soil. All men have a right to it, excepting he who created its and the widow and children of this man may wander about from door to door in the midst of public wealth and vast private fortune, cursing the ungrateful country which re fuses remuneration to the labours of their father. In the name of conscience—by that ineffaceable cads of equity traced by the hand of God himself, shall such a state of things continue ? " Cisilization is the daughter of books. The work which can, as it were, create, destroy, or transform the world, shall it become an object of indifference to mankind? " And, lastly, is it possible this eventual and fugitive wealth which results from the materialized propagation of thought, from impression, and from books ; is it of a na ture to be seized upon, fixed, and regulated into a form of property ? To this question we have merely to point out facts for a reply. This property exists, and is bought and sold like any other property. We had only to study the proceeds, and regularize its conditions, in order that it might wholly enter into the domain of things possessed, and guaranteed to their possessors. And this we have done. "'The real interest cf society is to see the profits of a use• ful work remain as long as possible in the possession of those who created the work. Moreover, society has an other interest, tshich is this—that the private property o a work remaining for a longer time in the hands of eagi , lent and interested possessors, the longer will the pirated foreign editions of this book be prohibited, and thus will the commercial wealth of the nation be maintained. But greater than all these, there is another reason. It ha; been asked, of what is composed the moral unity, the abstract being of an author. It consists of the author himself, his wife, and children. The father, wife, and eons are one. This may be called the family in its first degree. Since you wish to continue literary property for a certain num ber of years, do not take thirty years after the death of the author, a period at which his widow may still be living, and his children have scarce crossed the threshold of life. But take half a century, which embraces the mean probability of the eventualities of life and death, the entire circle of the three existences which represent and immediately follow up the author himself. Break not up this one moral being into two or three portions ; let not the son be brought up in the lap of luxury, and then be consigned to indigence. The term of thirty years would day after day present to us the scandalous spectacle of the public domain being enriched by the spoils cf genius, in the very teeth of the widow and children of the man of genius, who would be living in want and misery. And lastly do not forget that that which you enact by law will not be realised in fact. If you enact thirty bears the family will not actually inhei it more than twenty years, and if you enact fifty, they will not reap the benefits for more than forty. Such is the fate of commerce. When it is advertised by the law of the fatal period at which the pro perty ceases—when it falls into the private domain, it sud denly stops and awaits." After entering into some statistical details concerning sacred books, M. de Lamartine turns to dramatic literature. On this subject be says— " The legislator would not pass over the fruits of that noble art which was raised by antiquity to the dignity of an institution, which is watched with extreme vigilance by the police of modern States, on account of its vast power and influence. The noble creations of dramatic literature have done much to propagate our language and our civili zation. Our theatre is identified with our patriotism. Can we disinherit it? " A dramatic composition consists of two distinct parts —the composition and the representation. It is a mere writing as long as it remains in the author's hands. It is an action from the time when it passes into the hands of the actor. Dogs, therefore, this double and complicated quality of theatrical pieces constitute a double property ? Without the author the theatre can have no drama—with out the actor the drama cannot be represented. The theatre and the author, therefore, being both proprietors, ought to make an equitable adjustment of this their corn mon property. Such was the law ; but usage w ent be yond the law. No piece could be represented without the permission of the author. A retribution for the author was fixed according to dramatic regulations, and we have merely added that their right to this retribution shall exist for fifty years after the death of the author. " The same principle shall he applied to musical com posers, whatever he the form in which their musical crea tions be published. 6' We next turn to the brilliant results produced by the chi ~ c l, the brush, and the pencil. We have treated with all tire respect they deserve these arts, half mechanical, half intellectual, by which ideas are personified in marble or on canvas, and by which genius is materialised in the hand of man. We have entered into a minute investiga tion concerning the property of those works of art, but have not passed the limits, scarcely definable, in which the art is absorbed in the profession. The remuneration of the profession is by money and patent, the remuneration of the art is the glory and property. " But here again rose a serious controversy. To whom shall belong the right of reproducing by engraving or moulding ? in the purchaser of a picture or states, or to the artist ? We have received on this subject numerous eloquent protestations, some of which were dressed in the authority of that very institute whose name alone ex cites our respect and veneration. We have received the opinions of the first painters and statuaries of the age on this subject. These grcans from genius have found in your Commission sympathising interpreters. The 8 r title has been maintained which was presented d by if by the Got crnment, voted by the Peers, and adm itte der to be Commission in 1826. The right of al tists, in not co te exercised, must be duly inscribed. acntcd to bestow upon them a privilegNeVe hhinevhe, whilst it condemned the sole object to an oncrouswtservi:ude, they might even refuse to declare in the con.traac " Article 6 refers to pains and h: penitie,. All l t ra h w e s a w id iti o ri out guarantee are fictitious. TTe law Commission equ force, which is pue isbment. 'res has been una.nimeus in their wish to arm literary property with suffi cient moral and penal force to enable it to repel the attacks of internal piracy. A fine of from sop to . 0 ,000 francs (121. to 801.) has been fixed, together with damages equal in a mount to the value of the counterfeited edition. An incre e sed fine and impris onment are inserted in the event of a rope titi o n of the offence. If too strong punishments discour,ge the Judge in his administration of justice, even so do light punishments teed to discourage commerce and depreciate property. Placed between these two dilemma , " we have d ecided that a severe p unishmen t should be in flicted on a crime which is so frequently comm i tted in the dark, and that it should be punished with the dishonour which it has braved, and also by the reparation which it has sought to avoid. The law has, therefor e , fixed the damages at the value of the counterfeited edition. This is the exact weight of reparation when placed in the ba lance against the crime. " FOREIGN PIRACY OF C , ‘But whilst we have b een forming " a nia c l o i d T e . for literary property in France, the c r yi ng urgency of an internationa l law for the protection of this sort of property has made OPYRIGHT itself beard from one end of Europe to the other; in fact, throughout the whole world has this become a scandal to c:selization. As soon as a book is printed at London, Vienna, or Paris, it is immediately pounced upon by foreign pirate:, who reprint it in all possible forms, regardless of the sacred rights of authors, the expenses incurred by the original ediors,,and thus are Europe and America inun dated with countless editions of works, which become a certain source of profit to their piratical publishers, who never speculate iu works save such as have already ac quired a reputation which will ensure a cei tain sale. Thus is the literary commerce of a great nation despoiled of its lights—thus has it become the privilege and monopoly of a cosmopolite commerce, through the carelessness and in justice of the nations of the ear th. In a commercial point of view France loses, by this crying injustice, from eight to ten millions yearly (from 320,0001, to 400,0001.) This abus e , w hi c h i s a li ke f ate l to authors as well as commerce, is felt by all nations, but the smaller States are the greatest sufferers thereby. A property is merely nominal the right to which ceases at a frontier distant perhaps but a few paces. What remune ration can be expected by an author or bookseller at Rome, Florence, or Parma, when his works are shamelessly re printed at Naplee, Turin, Modena, or Milan ? In G er many the evil might be still greater. All unite in crying aloud for an international law on this subject. The States of Italy, with the exception of Naples, have decreed the perpetuity of literary property to authors and their heirs. Moreover they have decreed the internationaley of lite rary property. The publisher who prints counterfeited editions of a work published by any of those States shall be prosecuted by all and punished by all. Germany has followed in the same track. Inter-Germanic piracy is there prohibited. " England, Austtia, Russia, and France, excited by feeligs of justice more than by those of similar and equal interests, all unite in their wish for an international law. " The whole of Europe is at present inspired by the same sentiments ; let Ft ance, then, gloriously take the lead. A high place has been assigned to her in the 'list of na tions by the bands of her artists, by the pens of her writers, and by the swords of her soldiers. Can she con sent to leave in negligence and spoliation those domains of thought which have rrocured for her so bright a station in the mph eof human intellect ? Ingratitude may be useful to glory, as it tends to render it the more striking, but it will never enrich a nation. How greatly arc we in dsbted to those whom we have so long despoiled of their birthright ! Five or six immortal names is the nationality of the past—poets, philosophers, orators, artists, states men, historians—remain fixed, in the memory as the landmark of ages and of a people. Montaigne, as a scep tic, plays with ideas, and then i gives the circulation in a modern garb—Paschal and Bossuet both have turned our thoughts to God—Racine, Corneille, Moliere, and Vol taire, have given us pictures of the workings of the human heart—Montesquieu discusses the institutions of emp'res— Rousseau, Fenefon, and Mirabeau have each immortalised our lite'aerre in their respective walks. Morals, civiliza tion, ir.fluence, government—France owes all to these men. And perhaps our children may be as deeply in debted to those who may come after us. The everlasting and inexhaustible patrimony of France is her intellect. 13 not the moment now come for constituting as personal sroperty that useful portion which makes the dignity of letters, the independence of authors, the patrimony of %males, and the retribution of the State ? " Allow me to aid, that the serious and legal constitu t!on of literary, a!tistical, and commercial property, will be eminently conformable with those democratic princi ples which are the necessity: of our times. This nature of propel ty bears in itself all that is wanting for demecra ciev. It is respect wi hout restraint— grandeur for some without debasement for the many. Nobility has been suppressed, but not gluey. This glorious g:ft, like other gifts of God, is open to all, Genius a grand leveller, but it is a leveller who raises the general level of man. kind. Literary property is the fortune of democracy— glory is the nobiiity of equality." CORN-LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—l will thank you to find a small space in your most excellent Paper for the following facts, as they may induce others to supply you with information from other districts of the bane'ul effects of the Corn-laws. For your exertions against them, the country never can repay you. Lees, 31arch 26. WORKING OF THE CORN-LAW SYSTEM. 'The advocates of a change in our Corn-laws are constantly told, .‘ that if those laws are repeal:d, much of theland of the country will go out of cultivation," and of course that the present s} stem is highly advantageous to the landowners and land-tillers. One fact is worth a thousand suppositions. . The parish of Sadd!eworth, in the West Riding of Yorkshire; was previous to the present Corn-laws one of the most wealthy and prosperous districts in England, consisting mostly of small freeholders carrying on the manufacture and fabrication of woollen cloth ; but such has been the destruction of their trade by the blighting and pestilential Corn-laws, destroying their business, that there is at this moment not far from thirty small farms in this parish untenanted, and in the hands of their owners, on which an industrious manufacturing people once lived comfortably, and kept a few cows fur family use. his is not a solitary case, all manufacturing districts aro similarly situated—empty mills and factories, empty houses, empty shops, empty mansions, and empty farms. Could the worst enemies of England have done more to destroy a great and prosperous nation? A FREEHOLDER OF SADDLEWORTII. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT WINDSOR CASTLE. At a late hour on Friday night a mounted express ar. rived at the private residence of the Commissioners of Felice, Whit. hall-place hrit.ging information that a robbery of a daring and most extensive nature had been clremitted at Windsor Castle. The information we have been able to collect is meagre, in consequence of the police authorities wishing to keep the matter a profound secret. We have, however, ascertained from a source we can place implicit reliance on, that a gentleman holding a very responsible situation in the castle, and the nature of which enabled him at any time to hare access to the crown plate and jewels, has absconded, taking with him property of the above mentioned description to the amount, it is said, of some thousands. On Saturday, at six A.M., Steed, one of the Inspectors appointed to do duty at the palaces, accompanied by a Se , geant and five private con stables of the A division of police, left town for Windsor for the purpose of making the necessary investigation as to the manner in which the robbery was committed, and if possible the retreat of the depredator. ODE ON THE DEATH OF MOORE. Every reader of Pope will remember the well-known Garth did not write his own Dispensary ; all, too, who are familiar with the lives of our Poets, must recollect a shame-faced claim made in Ireland to rob Akenside of his right to the authorship of his well known Pleasures of Imagination. These were attempts made while their authors were yet alive—but in the Edinburgh Advertistr of the 19th of March we find in serted a long correspondence, with credentials and affi davits of several kinds, to give to a new claimant the far-famed ode on the burial of Sir John Moore— Not a drum was heard, &c. a poem heretofore attributed, without contradiction, to the Rev. C. Wolfe, the author of a few poems of a very plaintive and beautiful caste. The correspondence is too long for insertion, but the drift and nature of it is to this r. ffect :—That the poem was never claimed by Wolfe, that it was first printed in the Newry Telegraph of the 19th of April, 1817: that its rest author was Mr. A. Mackintosh. in 1816 a student at Edinburgh, and at this day parish schoolmaster at Temple, Lear lidinburgb ; that a Mr. A. M. Hartley, of Gl asgow , had herd Mr. Mac kintosh read it as his in 1816 or 1817 ; there are two other witnesses to the truth of this, and the whole is vouched by the Rev. William Muir, Assistant Minister at Temple, w h o seems t o have dragged Mr. Mackintosh from his comparative obscurity into a little notice. Is there not something suspicious in a claim so long delayed—resting on insufE cent testimony to do mo re th an mettle a very univer sal belief that the Rev. Charles Wolfe was its author — and the two facts that the poem first appeared in an Irish, not a Scottish newspaper, and with the initials of Mr. Wolfe :—C. W., nct A. M. for Mr. Mackintosh ? Wolfe might have written it—he bas poems to attest his abilities, but Mr. Mackintosh bas no ne. We know, however, that there was such a perso n as Single-speech Hamilton, who made his own one speech ; but we want fresh vouchers before we be lieve in Mr. Single-song Mackintosh.—Athencrurn. MR.
