The Hessian question will be Fettled by the eva cuation of Hesse by both the Austrian and Prussian troops. It will be left to the Doctor to come to terms with the Assembly of Estates, and thus to restore the legal state of his country. If an understanding cannot be effected in this way the country will be occupied by Austrian troops, acting as the Elect pr's auxiliaries (ihat is to say, not as Feeral troops) in the same manner as Prussian forces at one time acted for the Grand Duke of Baden, and in this ca,e the mediation will be undertaken by a Prussian and an Austrian Commissioner. " 3. In the question of the German Constitution it has been agreed that Austria and Prussia shall act on a footing of perfect equality (paritdt). The Free Con• ter,nces will create a central organ, which is to be coal po.ed of the former 17 votes of the lesser Conle , :!eration, (engere Bond), and the Federal can shall he subjected io a revision. The Executive Power in this Coniedirra lion will belong to Austria and Prussia nine. Austri,i ri serves its declaration as to which of its provinces will enter this new Confederation, in which there will be !•43 pop War representation. With respect to Art. X 1 of the Federal Pact, which pri.vides that fur purpoo s the assent of the Central Poser sh3]l be the States will be authorised t form separate leagues. " 4. All the German States are to take part in the Free Conferences, which will be opened as Dresden in the course of this very month. " 5. The Prussian army, as well as the Federal troops, will far the present reia.ain on a ear footing. " 6. The transactions of the Federal Diet will cease. The Federal Diet has no vote on any of the above questions." A yet more admirable field for improvement in re ference to the laws affecting the interests of scientific men, is comprised in the fourth resolution, " that it should be permitted to commence actions for the in fringement of the rights of inventors in the County Courts." By allowing inventors this inexpensive method of obtaining for themselves reparation, and for their inventions protection, the Parliament would be mitigating a very large amount of unalleviated suffering, and preventing thereby a monstrous system of piracy from passing altogether with impunity. The little annoyance that could possibly result from such reforms as have been traced out by the op. ponents of the existing laws relating to patents, is ref - erred to explicitly in the fifth and concluding re solution, " that inasmuch as, contrary to expectation, very little litigation has been created by the rights conferred by the Designs Acts, 1842 and 1843, the Committee is of opinion that a fair trial should be given to the working of the proposed system of re gistration of inventions, before any special tribunal, to determine inventive rights, be substituted for the existing tribunals." Nothing could be more excel lently accordant with the whole of the ideas expressed in the columns of this journal, in one of its recent impressions, than those incorporated in the resolutions here particularised—resolutions which prove that the aspirants for improvement in the patent laws are prac tical as well as sanguine, resolved to point out the machinery as well as its application. Whether or not the Exposition of 1851 turn out successfully in advancing the interests of science in other departments, we are confident that it will tend immediately to secure advantages until now denied to those who have genius in mechanical invention. By securing them from piracies, the Legislature will best enable them to employ their peculiar faculties for the public benefit, the pecuniary good resulting to them selves from their first efforts proving the happiest stimulant for their ingenuity, and the most direct en couragement to them under disappointment. We mean, of course, the disappointment arising out of the errors of the theorist when tested by experiment ; and such disappointments as these the inventor is peculiarly liable to, suffering in this manner most grievously from that " hope deferred which maketh the heart sick." Foremost among the advantages capable of being conferred on the class of scientific inventors is that of placing within their reach, at a moderate charge, the securities afforded by the bene • ficence of the law. In this particular we allude not so much to the carrying out of the proposal of the Committee appointed by the Society of Arts in regard to the County Courts, as already specified, as we do to the diminution of the great cost at present weighing down the purchasers of all letters patent. Upon this part of the subject we have already been sufficiently explicit, having mentioned in detail the intolerable fees required from the unfortunate inven tor in the procurement of his specification ; neverthe"- less, we could not but revert to them yet again, how ever incidentally, actuated in so doing by our solicitude to witness the diminution of the burdens hitherto im posed upon men who, from the peculiar school in which they are educated, are usually either im poverished or improvident. With this solicitude ever before us, we shall persist at all available opportuni ties in enforcing the necessity for the proposed im provement. A be rdeen • Do.

Messrs.

The markets have been freely supplied, and holders are more willing sellers at a small reduction upon previous rates. the importations of produce have been moderate, the deliveries continue good for borne consumption, and for export there is at present no material falling off; the stocks generally are less, and pines high, r than last 3 ear.

First week of the The political dinners of the Breton representatives have been resumed at the Trois Freres Provencaux. The Assembly yesterday voted the required credit for the addition to the army of 40,000 men by a ma jority of 466 to 213. At the commencement of the discussion General Lahitte made the following com munication to the Assembly : " Gentlemen, I think my duty at the commence ment of this discussion to inform the Assembly t f the last news which the Government has rec.ived from Germany. The Prince de Schwartzenberg and M. de ManteutM met on the 28th of last month at Olmutz. These Ministers have agreed on the following arrangements :—There shall be a co-operation of Prus sian and Federal troops in Hesse. As to the question of Holstein, a Prussian Commissioner is to proceed with a Federal one to the liuchies, and each to address to the Regent a summons to lay down their arms; the summons from each Commissioner being in the same terms. In case this summons should not lead to the result expect« d, a Prussian corps should with the Federal troops take such coercive measures as might become necessary.— (Long interruption, and ironical laughter on the Lek) " These two points have been the object of a cut.- vention on, the 29th of November by the two nego tiator:.

A case was trial yesterday before Lord CAMPBELL, which, although of no public interest per se, becomes of considerable importance when taken in connexion with the recent alterations in the law, and the more than probable extension of the principle of allowing parties to be witnesses in suits in which they are themselves personally concerned, at no very distant period. Considerable controversy has already taken place, and there is a great diversity of opi nion with respect to this point. Some contend that it will lead to very serious results, holding out a direct inducement to wilful and corrupt perjury' ; while others declare that it will provide an additional and most valuable mode of arriving at the truth, and preventing decisions from being made contrary to equity and good conscience, merely through the failure or scarcity of legal evidence. They also rely with much apparent reason on the fact, that such testimony is admissible in courts• ,of equity and indeed in almost every civil proceeding, except in trials at nisi Arius in the superior courts, and that on the whole the balance of advan tages is greatly in favour of the principle, which con stitutes an important element in the attainment of full and substantial justice, and is calculated to pre vent litigation from being carried to any undue de gree, when the parties are aware that they may have to pledge their own solemn oaths in favour of the accuracy of their statements, and the merits of their claims or defence, as the case may be . There is much to be said on both sides cf the question, and we believe that, as in most other cases, the wisest and most politic course will be found to lie between the extremes on either side—that the evidence should be rendered admissible, but subject to certain conditions and modifications, ' to prevent its being resorted to on light and trivial grounds. 1 136 -138 11 - 11% 23 -24 119% -119% -2% p. 4 -3% p. 2 -2% p. 71 - 704 27 -27% 14 - 13(11.1. 2 -2% p.

All the Ministers had on the previous day tendered their resignations to the QUEEN, in consequence of the resignation of the Finance Minister, BRAVO Muani.o. Her MAJESTY, however, refused to accept any of the resignations except that of Senor BRAVO MURILLO. On the 30th thre was another Cabinet Council. Senor MoN, who is at Paris, has been sent for, and he will probably be the successor to BRAVO MURILLO. Lord HOWDEN has addressed a strong note to the Ministers on the subject of the debt, recommending the adoption of the proposal made at the last meeting of the bondholders; the _Prussian, Dutch, and Belgian Ministers had followed the example of Lord How- DEN, but the French Minister bad refused to in terfere. The facts in the case to which we have alluded lie within a very narrow compass. It appeared that a widow named ANNE LAVEY was plaintiff in the Whitechapel County Court, and a man named HAN NAH, defendant. The plaintiff was examined as a witness, in pursuance of the 83d section of the County Courts Act (9 and 10 Victoria, c. 95). After giving her evidence in chief she was suhk cted to a severe cross-examination by the defendant's attorney as to her previous character, and among other questions was asked " whether she had ever appeared at the bar' of the Central Criminal Court on a charge of forgery, or any other charge, or had been ever locked up in tt e Thames Police, or any other station ?" which questions she answered in the negative. An indictment for perjury was subsequently preferred against her, and on the trial yesterday it was proved that she had been committed from the Thames Police court on the charge of having forged a seaman's ad vance ticket, and that she had been tried at the Central Criminal Court on that charge, although she had been acquitted, as it was alleged, on a technical flaw in the indictment. After a patient investigation, the jury returned a verdict of guilty, accompanied, however, with a recommendation to mercy, and the defendant was thereupon sentenced to imprisonment in the House of Correction, in Westminster, for twelve calendar months. Although we do not, in any degree, dissent from the verdict or sentence in the foregoing case—the woman richly deserving the punishment to which she has been subjected—there are points in the case worthy of notice ; and first, it will be seen that the perjury assigned was not in any degree connectt d with the real question at issue, whether Mrs- LAVEY had a right to recover her demand from the prosecutor? If there was no evidence to sustain that demand beyond her own testimony, then unquestionably her previous character became a matter of considerable importance in enabling the judge to decide upon the weight that should be at tached to her statements. But every uncorroborated assertion of a party to a suit will ever be regarded with considerable suspicion, and if unfounded, the oath of the other party may be received as an equiva lent or set-off, so that much mischief could not unde r any circum:stances be occasioned by refusing to permit any cross. examination of plaintiff or defendant either as to their genneral character, or as to particular trans actions unconnected with the subject-matter under investigation. If the practice be at all sanctioned or tolerated it may' give rise to serious abuses. A vin dictive or malevolent person, although having no real case, either as plaintiff or defendant, may go into court merely for' the purpose of being enabled to bring his opponent to shame and disgrace, to convict him out of his oven mouth, and blast his character among his neighbours and friends for acts long since forgotten, which had been sincerely and truly re pented.

On the same day MAI'TEUFFIL announced to the Parliament the arrangement of Olmutz, and de clared his determination to maintain peace and to con tinue in office. After this communication, VON Visacs proposed an amendment to the Address, calling on the KING to dismiss bis Ministers. The Committee adopted VON VINKE'S proposition, which had been signed by 110 Members, by a majority of 18 to 4. A Cabinet Council was immediately held, and on the opening of the Chambers on the 4th they were pro rogued to the 3d January. The following telegraphic dispatch is the latest intelligence that has been received from Berlin ; it is dated the 4th : " The Lower House had assumed a hostile attitude. "Its Committee OR the Address bad agreed on a new draught condemnatory of rbe Olmutz arrangements. "Of the committee 18 voted for the Opposition. The Cabinet had f,,ur votes. "A Cabinet Council has been beld. " The King has adjourned the Parliament to the 3d of January. 1851." The Cologne Gazette of the 2d says—" The stipu lations agrevri upon between Prince t . .:cuwAirrzels- BURG and Baron VON MANTEUFFEL have been sanc tioned by the Courts of Vienna and Berlin. Peace is secured." The Lloyd states that numerous telegraphic dis patches has arrived rat, and been transmitted hem Vienna in the course of the day ; they were com municated in cyphers, and were invari;.bly submitted to his MAJESTY immediately. It is generally con sidered that the free conferences determined upon will not only settle the differences between Vienna and Berlin, but likewise secure the peace of Hesse Cassel, and Lliable the ELECTOR to return to his dominions. No change had taken place in the position of affairs in Hesse Cassel up to the lid inst. Oteatina LONDON. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 6, 1850. Five resolutions, according admirably with the arguments advanced by ourselves, the other evening, in reference to the anomalous and unprotected posi tion of inventors in the United Kingdom, were passed on Wednesday at the third meeting of the Committee appointed by the Society of Arts. Gladly do we re cognize this indication of sympathy for a body of men whose interests are entitled to very peculiar con sideration, but who have been hitherto abandoned to the precarious chances of speculation. As we have already intimated, we look forward confidently to a reform in the laws relating to them, a reform in the patent laws of the United Kingdom, as one of the many admirable advantages likely to accrue from the approaching Exhibition of Industry. The reflection recently provoked upon this, among a variety of similar grievances, cannot fail to force the necessity for innovation upon the conviction of the Legislature. Preparatory to this change in the depressing sys tem adopted towards scientific inventors, resolutions such as those passed on Wednesday by the Committee of the Society of Arts must act as admirable incite ments. The suggestion thrown out in the very fir s t of them, to the effect "that a collection of all the speciScations be made, calendared, and indexed, and be deposited for public inspection in the British Museum," is of io,elt one entitled to the fullest com mendation—calculated as it is to simplify a depart ment heretofore so inextricably complex, and to pre serve what has hitherto been so lamentably perish able. Another hint tallying in importance with the foregoing is embodied in the second resolution, which asserts " that it is highly desirable that such a collection should be printed and published." As far as the public themselves are concerned such an arrangement must prove one fraught with extraor dinary conveniences, and i n its relation to the in.r. • ventors specifying, we cane see that it could b, found in any way injurims." thi the contrary, the publication of their own authentic specification must tend rather to forward the interests of their scheme, no matter what its application.

ITAL An edict of the Pro-Secretary of State, dated Rome, 22d ult., contains a law, comprising four chaptErs and 98 paragraphs, regulating the govern ment of the provinces and the provincial administrae tion. By this law, the territory of the State is divided into five parts:-Ist, Rome and is districts, known by the name of 1.4.1 COMMA ; 211 y, the legations of Bo logna, Ferrara, Forli, and Ravenna; 3rlly, those of Urbino, Pesaro, Macerata, Loreto, Ancona, Fermo, Ascoli, and Camerino ; 4ttkly, those of Perugia, Spoleto, and Rieti ; 544, Velletri, Frosi none, and l3enevento. Each division is to be governed by a Cardinal Legate, who is in every respect the vicegerent of the Sovereign, his alter ego ; he is to maintain public order by every effiAtut measure both of high and low police. His residence is to be fixed by the HOLY FATHER; he is named by a brief, in which the duration of his office is fixed. He has lur councillors named by the SOVEREIGN, and forming the Council of Legation, a , !eeretary, a director of police, and other officers. The provinces remain as they were hitherto ; they are governed by delegates named by a Papal brief, and subject to the authority of the Cardinal Legate, under whom they govern and administer the laws. E.cil delegate has four councillors, named by the POPE, and forming the Council of Delegation. The governments remain as they were; the governors are under the control of the delegates, and exercise as before judicial power in civil and criminal cases, but have no administrative power. The provincial administration is regulated by a provincial council, and conducted by an adminis trative commission. The provincial councillors are named by the SovxstEiGN from a list of three names proposed by the municipal councils, after this list has been purified, first by the delegate, and next by the legate. The provincial council can only discuss matters of administration ; it it discusses any other subject its sitting is considered as an illegal riotous meeting, and punished as such upon the members. The HOLY FATHER may dissolve the provincial council at pleasure. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of Turin of the 29. h ult., Signor SIOTTO PIATOR addressed a question to Ministers on the state of the island of Sardinia, and the recent disturbances that had taken place there. The Ministers of War and of Agricul ture and Commerce answered that the last informa tion received from that quarter was satisfactory, that matters were not so bad as had heen repre sented by the Hon. Deputy, that the Government knew the wants of SArdinia, and would take prompt measures to satisfy them ; that in the meantime the number of troops in the island had been raised to 4,000 men, that the tireilleurs and light-horse had been increased, and that 20 commissaries of police had been sent there with instructions to the Advocates- Royal to take immediate and severe measures for the punishment of the offenders. These explanations were declAred sati,factory by the inamen , •e majority of the Cumber, which afterwards proceeded to the elec tion of a new vice- president, in consequence of the resignation of Signor DEMARCIII. Advocate Botizo obtained the mjerity of votes. The Risorgimento of Turin quotes letters from its correspondent at Rome of the 24hh ult., mentioning a rumour of disturbances which were said to bare taken place at Perugia after the departure of the Aus trian troops.

She has on freight for Bremen, GO tons tobacco, 20 tons skins and furs, 35'tors whalebone, 500 packages sundry merchandise, and 8 packages specie, value 5,600 dolls. . - During the voyage the Washington has experienced very heavy gales from the southward. On the 21st tilt., 11.45, A.m., she spoke the Royal Mail steamer Niagara, bound to New York, Sandy Hook hearing W. 1 W., 184 miles distant, and on the Ist Dec., in lat 49.31 N., long. 25.10, the British barque Esc London, bound to the eastward. The Washington proceeds on her voyage to Bremen at day break. THE FOG.—During the whole of this morning the metropolis has been enveloped in a thick fog, and in all the shops and counting-houses gas has been lighted all the morn ing. Several accidents have occurred. and the fog is increas ing in density every hour. THE NORTH AMERICAN AND UNITED STATES' Marns.—Notice was issued yesterday at the General Post office that the following mails for British North America, Bermuda, and the United States, will be made up during the current month :—This evening, the 6th inst., to New York direct, by the British mail steam-packet, via Liverpool ; on the evening of the 13th inst, by the United States' packet, ditto; on the morning of the 20th inst., by ditto, via South ampton ; on the evening of the 20th inst.. by the British packet, via Liverpool, Halifax, and Boston ; and on - he even ing of the 27th inst., to New York direct, via Liverpool, by the United States' packet. Next packets due at Liverpool on the 1 lth inst., from Boston; on the 19th instant, from New York; and on the ssth inst., from Boston.

For the British and foreign colonies in the West Indies. &c , on the morning of the 17th inst., via South ampton ; next packet due on the 20th inst. THE MAIL PACKETS —The Br,z - lian and Buenos Ayres mails, which leave Falmouth to-day, in her Majesty's brig Seagull, are, there is every reason to believe, the last mails that will be sent fr m Falmouth. The next mail for the Brazils will, it is expected, be made up in the General Post-office on the morning of the 9th of January, and will be conveyed from Southampton by the Royal West, India Mail Steam-packet G.mpany's steamer Teviot. The steamer Severn is intended, at present, to take out the Brazilian mails on the 9th of February. Her Majesty's brig Crane will bring home the Brazilian mail this month; her Majesty's brig Linnet in January; her Majesty's brig Petrel in Febru ary; and on the 12th March the return of the Teviot will be expected, and the first homeward mail by the West India Company's steamers will be due. After that period Fal mouth, which for a long series of years was the principal mail-packet station in the country, will cease to be so for a single vessel. This event will consummate the triumph of steam navigation, for steamers will then have completely su perseded sailing vessels in the mail-packet service. St RIOUS ACCIDENT Ti) B. B. WILLIAMS, ESQ OF BUSCOT PARK, IN THE COUNTY OF BERKS.—The lovers of the chase in particular will be sorry to hear of an accident which occurred to Mr. Williams on Monday last. Since Mr. Williams has taken the mansion, domain, and far-famed fox covers of Buscot, he has preserved to such an extent that, at the last meeting of the Old Berkshire hounds, no less than ten foxes were driven out of one of the I trge covers, and dis persed over the adjacent country. Mr. Williams, who very rarely joins the hounds, was induced to do so on Monday last, and had taken several fences in pretty good style; but, on coming to a high hedge, wi:h a ditch on the other side, and riding with very long stirrups, his feet were thrown out, and before he could get them replaced another wide ditch heel to be crossed, but as he could not regain his seat he was thrown off, and in falling received a violent blow from the hind hoof of the horse, which rendered him insensible. His horse fol - lowed the hounds; but being well known, Mr. Gould, of Thrupp, very kindly came back in search of the rider, whom he found in a field, lying prostrate and unable to stand. lie was with great difficulty removed to Buscot Park. Mr. Blaskill, surgeon, of Farringdon, was fortunately on the spot, and accompanied Mr. Williams home, rendering every possible service in his power. The Earl FitzwillEm and the Ladies Wvntworth Fitzwilliam arrived at Milton Park, near Peterborough, at the close of Jast.week. from. Wentworth House, Yorkshire, where the Noble Earl and family are expected to reside until the end or January. 6 13 4 6 13 4 2% 1 1 0 8 1 6 216 100 ,11 13 4', 4.0/ 2 100 23% 11% 15 II 6 3 100 12 15 4 100 42% 4 2 0 29 16. 0 100 47% 2 12 0 13 5 31 9 12 3 FORE: 6 13 20 :IGN. 11 x.d. 15% '4 474 54, 10►% % lz% 73 % % 34 10% 65% 4 % P 52% % 63% 4 3yi 4% 13 !‘ 3 3 54 85% 119% 120 197 i 43% % 3 % % 23 22% 8 7% 4% 9"8 174 % 7% 7 6 7 % die 6% 6 dls. 1414 13% [20% 20% %$2l 17 % % % 2334 % 8% 14% 23i % 31% ex. d ~,, ~i . c trade . ruled excessivel heavy and Monday's wire with difficulty supported.
