Continuing our argument in reference to the ne cessity of reform in the Patent Laws of the United Kingdom, we may be permitted to allude yet more particularly to the efforts made in the furtherance of this most righteous cause by the Committee of the Society of Arts, as already notified in our leading ar',:icle of yesterday. Thanks to the energetic course of proceeding adventured upon by that intelligent body, we may nt length begin to entertain some rea • sonable hopes of an improvement in this important branch of our ,legislative enactments. Hitherto the endeavours of all those who have sympathised in the unprotected condition of scientific inventors, and • who have yearned to aid in the removal of the diffi culties and impediments in their pathway, have been altogether too scattered and incidental to yield anything like certainty as to their realization, Now, however, that the Society of Arts through their recently appointed Committee has taken the matter in hand in this practical manner, we snap cherish a ra tional belief in the chances of some such wholesome innovations. The evil, in fact, is too enormous and apparent to withstand for any length of time the as saults of a properly organized system of opposition: and such a system of opposition we believe that adopted by the Committee of the Society of Arts to be, a system convincing and energetic. From it we anticipate the speedy dissipation of the troubles here tofore surrounding the majority of unfortunate pa tentees—Aroubles driving them in most cases into the arms of capitalists, sad compelling them to sacrifice " for ► song" adv,iotage s to be reap, d fto'n i•eu !ah ,ur of in nv Agsins: the recurrence of thi, grievance the he,t pre ventive-, would undoubtedi 2 , be the diminution of the ex:irbitant sums at prti:,etit extorted from such as are desirous to secure th frui!s of their ingenuity un.ier cover of letters patent. The grea'est of living law ref„eeners, Led B aouo sr, ritu.t, we feel sati)fied, be eager to direct his energies toward,' the destruction of this intolerable burden, those immense energies and unflinching assiduity which have already beaten down before them so many similar acts of injustice. Added, moreover, to the general anxiety evinced on the part of the Noble and Learned Lord to forward in this manner the interests of legal improvement, there would be an especial and peculiar anxiety on his part to destroy the evils inflicted by the existing patent laws, an anxiety arising out of his own personal sym pathy for the fortunes of the scientific philosopher. Himself a diatingazhed experimentalist in chemksl THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENJNG, DECEMBER 7, 1850, knowledge, and a luminous commentator on the prin. ciples of mechanics, he must entertain a feeling of earnest solicitude for the interests 4.f men engaged in congenial pursuits. Out of this personal sympathy on the part of Lord BROUGHAM for inventors and discoverers, we look forward with double satisfaction to the time when his efforts in behalf of that intelligent class shall be manifest in the Upper House of Parliament immediately on the re-assembling of the Legislature. With the Committee of the Society of Arts labouring outside, and Lord BROUGHAM labour ing inside the House of Peers, and the Press more or less energetically forwarding the cause by written argument, there can be little doubt but that ulti mately the patent laws of the United Kingdom will be properly reformed and re-organized. Is there any question as to whether the necessity of the case relating to scientific inventors is urgent and peremptory ? We subjoin as an answer to any such inquiry the following tabular statement, ex tracted from the pamphlet just issued by the Society of Arts at the instigation of the Committee " A RECITAL OF THE OFFICIAL STAGES, SO TAR AS THEY CAN BE MADE OUT, WHICII AN INVENTOR ➢IUST UNDERGO IN OBTAINING LETTERS PATENT Ft R AN INVENTION IN ENGLAND ONLY, PROVIDED HIS AP PLICATION IS UNOPPOSED.

From this authentic testimony it will be seen that the grievances of which unfortunate inventors have reason to complain are in no respect imaginary. They are of a kind the least easily avoided by the indigent and the most irksome of all to such as, themselves without means, are desirous of turning a happy con trivance into a profitable speculation. The annoyance of these expenses being immeasurably enhanced by a knowledge that the moneys are frittered away into the pockets of subordinate workers of the administra tion—being, in fact, a huge agglomeration of fees and perquisites. Such evils have been experienced too long and too grindingly to be endured with out complaint from its victims. An opportunity is at length offered them of ridding themselves from its pressure. Let them combine all their efforts to swell the tide of. opposition and to encourage those who are now manfully battling against the perpetua tion of these lamentable enactments. The Committee of the Society of ♦rts hive commenced. Their example will be speedily followed, we are sure, in the House of Peers by. Lord BUOUGHAM, and aided by the united endeavours of the advocates and the great leader of Law Reform, the triumph of the cause cannot remain doubtful. Preventive measures will be adopted against the renewal of so much piracy and imposition. Precautions will be taken, securing to men of science the enjoyment of the pecuniary pro ceeds of their ingenuity. And while thus throwing the shield of its protection over the interests of in ventors, the law of patents will at the same time ma terially forward the interests of invention. most plaintive of all articulations of love (the letter of " Eloise to Abelard"), the most minutely finished and perhaps the most graceful of our pastors (that on " Windsor Forest"), the two most withering satires in our Anglo-Saxon tongue (the " Dunciad" and the " Imitations of Horace"). An intellect capable of throwing off such a prodigal abundance of poetic treasures, all of them of unimpeach4ble, and some of them of matchless, merit, must be allowed a prominent and lofty place in the Wal halla of our national literature. Well, there fore, did the Earl of CABLISLE choose in selecting POPS as the subject of his congenial and esthetic cri ticism ; well did he illustrate by remarks and quotations the reasonableness of his panegyrics ; well did he, in testimony that those panegyrics could in no respect be considered as exaggerated, challenge the whole world to adduce from any poet, ancient or modern, more sublimity of thought than has been con densed by POPE in that incomparable couplet, in which (describing the operations of the DEITY) he says that OMNIPOTENCE— " Build.; life on death, on change duration founds, And gives the eternal wheels to know their rounds." A close scrutiny of the subject and of the lecture itself vk ill only tend to confirm the judgment still more and more in its reverential homage for the ge nius of POPE, anti in an appreciative admiration for the eulogist of POPEi the amiable and gifted Earl of CARLISLE. At a time when so many are striving to provoke class against class and party against party, it is well to find a Minister of State, throwing aside all considerations of jealousy in a burning devotion to the really true and beautiful—to find an Earl deeming it no diminution of his dignity to lecture on the works of a poet within the walls of a Mechanics' Institute. For inasmuch as Lord CARLISLE has acted thus, and done so, like wise, gracefully and admirably, we would, as one among the organs of public opinion, proffer him our most earnest and unaffected felicitations.

The riles of Co,ton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed firm.—Railway Shares wire quiet at rather lower prices. The Bank of England weekly statement to the 30th ult. presents at last the feature of a very decided reduc tion in the amount of bullion, the exports baying acted upon it. while the imports have not proved sufficient to meet the foreign demand. From the turn that affairs have taken on the Continent it is probable that this downward movement may be speedily arrested, and in any ea , e another million sterling, with the prospect of remittances from California, might be easily spared. The increased demand for money is shown by the large ad ditional sum advanced upon other securities, chiefly Stock and Exchequer-bills probably. The amount to the credit of Government increases, and the quarter's revenue may be expected to prove satisfactory. The balances of private parties are likewise being judiciously strengthened to meet Christmas payments. Compared with the previous return the following results are ex hibited Notes Issued ...

It is concluded, nevertheless, that the exchange of gold for silver cannot have been completed by Holland, and that as occasion serves there will be more taken from us. At Hamburgh last Tuesday the rate on London improved to 13.2, and bills were scarce and in request. This is a good sign, and is probably occa sioned by the efforts making in Austria to check the en hancement of specie, for although coercive measures will not accomplish such an object, there would be more confidence upon the prospect of peace that has arisen this week. The Honourable East India Company have, within the last fortnight, drawn bills upon Bengal to the amount of 143,084/., Madras 19,861, and Bombay 1,739. Sufficient time has not yet elapsed to test the working of the very judicious arrangements recently adopted among the Scotch iron trade of checking the circulation of a paper currency not based upon real business trans actions, although ostensibly representing them. Mr. W. Short, a broker, informs us upon this subject, and the metal trade generally, that—" Welsh bar iron has gradually advanced to 4/. 15s. per ton in Wales, which is now the nearest price. Rails are in good demand, 4/. 17s. 6d. per ton has bt en paid for flange pattern; and as it is reported that large orders still remain to be executed, an advance on that price is looked for. A very important movement has taken place during the pest month, having for its object to substitute storekeepers' warrants, not to be issued until the iron is delivered into yards, for the maker's engagements or scrip heretofore in use. Since the meetingthe market has nominally stiffened; but small transactions have taken place, nor can we look for large transactions until the improved plan has had time to become consolidated. The larger description of buyers abstain from acting to any extent at the advance suugbt to be established, and it may be questioned that they will do so (in the face of a largo weekly increasing stock) at the rates asked, viz., 425. 6d. to 435. per ton for mixed numbers, free on board, cash, against bill of lading 435. to 431. 6d. for storkeeperie warrants, free on board, and 445. 6d. to 455. for number one Gartsherrie. In other metals there is scarcely any change to notice." In the Lancashire and Yorkshire districts trade con tinues as good as could be reasonably expected at this time of year, and there is no fair ground of complaint, except tbat the raw staples rule di-proportionably high. The Railway receipts of the net k, taken collectively, do not stand much above those of the correspoLding pe riod of 1849, allowing for increased mileage. On par ticular lines, that are becoming more developed, there is, however, a gratifying augmentation. _ _ The Amsterdam - Stuck Market o❑ the sth inst. was buoyant.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Republican journals still comment in strong terms on the inconsistency of the Ministry and the Assembly in increasing the army by 40,000 men, while they declare their intentions to preserve the strictest neutrality and to mainiain peace. The Bourbonists are again broken up into two frac tions, which appear irreconcilable. The sacrifices made by M. LIMBS and his friends to the partt pretre have been all unavailing; it is in vain that he gives up the education of France to the Jesuit , , in vain that he goes to confession, in vain that he bows down and worships M. DE MONTALEMBERT, the etres bien pensans will have none of him or his ; M. DE FALLOUX declared authoritatively at a meeting of the Legitimatist Club, in the Rue de Rivoli, that if they tould not secure the restoration of the Count DE CHAMBORD they would prefer Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE to the Orleans Princes. It is reported that the Ministers are about to ask for a further increase i❑ the salary of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. M. GUIZOT has been invited to dine at the Elysee. The Committee on the Bill on the National Guard hss demanded the communication of additional do cuments, and invited the Minister of the Interior to give some verbal explanations, which it would re quire before it could come to any resolution on the subject. The Moniteur Algerien of the 30th ult. contains a proclamation addressed to the Arabs and Kabyles by General D'HauTrouL, acquainting them with his ap pointment to the post of Governor-General of Algeria; calling upon them not to listen to the voice of ambitious men, who, for their own interest, incite them to rebel against French authority, and assuring them of the constant protection of France in their habits and religion, so long as they remain obedient to her laws. In conclusion he says :—‘• You now know that our words are as firm as our strength is irresistible. You have experienced the force of our arms, and you can now appreciate the benefits of our rule. Those among you who have remained faithful to their oaths have prospered, whilst those who have perjured themselves have suffered the most severe misfortunes. You know the only path which will lead you to happiness —may GOD inspire you with wisdom to persevere in it."

ALEXANDER POPE has seldom been more bril liantly honoured in regard to his resplendent genius than he was on Thursday evening. Upon that occa sion an Earl was the celebrant of a Poet—a Minister of State disdained not to offer the homage of admiration to an Author, by delivering a lecture upon his literary compositions, before the members of a Mechanics' Institute. The intelligent population of Leeds, who were fortunate enough to be present during the dis course pronounced by Lord CARLISLE on the writings of the bard of Twickenham, must have derived an exquisite satisfaction from the circumstance, as may be imagined by those who glance through the report, given elsewhere in our impression of this evening. From that report, however inadequate, in many re spects, it may be conjectured with what eclectic taste the noble lecturer entered upon the examination of the great poet—one of the greatest among the many geniuses adorning our English literature— ranked by Lord CARLISLE as coining immediately after—Sl:UWE, that intellectual microcosm of the universe —MILTON, whose harp was like the lyre struck by some seraphic minstreI....SPENSEJL, the de bonair and idyllic enthusiast of nature, who rendered himself the undisputed master of Allegory— and DRYDEN, the most robust and vigorous of the poetic throng, whose verses seem bound together by the palpitating fibres of his sensi bility, and whose voice resounds, as in the matchless ode of ST.

The Minister of the Interior at Turin has ad dressed a circular, dated the Ist, to all the Intendants- General of the provinces, reminding them of the fre quent efforts of 'the Government to eradicate the baneful passion of gambling, and informing them that it has now determined to refuse with rigour and im partiality the renewal of licences to all landlords of hotels, coffee-houses, billiard-rooms, &c., notorious for allowing habitual gambling on their premises I or to those who, although allowing such games only to be played in their establishments as are not forbidden by law, nevertheless allow them to be played for such Lrge stakes, that the ruin of families and injury to public morals may result from the practice. The Opinione of Turin of the Ist mentions a ru mour that the forced loan has been suspended throughout the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. Lieut.-Marshal Prince CHARLES of Schwarxen berg has issued a notice, dated Milan 30th ult., announcing that the tax hitherto levied for the main tenance of the Lombardo-Venetian noble guard, will be suspended during 1851, on account of the reduc tions operated in that corps.

COMMON PLEAS.-(11-11S DAY,) (Sittings at Nisi Priui, before Lord Chief Justice JERVIS and a Special Jury.) FRY V. BRO3ILEY. The plaintiffs in this case were Messrs. Fry, the buil ders, and the defendant is one of their clerks, and the present action was brought to recover the sum of 1191, the property of the plaintiff, lost by the defendant while in his custody. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Weller appeared for the plaintiff, and - Mr. Sergeant Wilkins conducted the defence. From the evidence it appeared that on the 19th of April the defendant, having been sent into the City to draw money from the bankers for his employers, got into a Paddington omnibus at the Bank, having the money in a carpet bag, which was placed by his side in the omnibus. This omnibus he changed at the bottom of Baker-street for an Atlas omnibus, in which he rode to Circus-rood, St. John's-wood, having the bag still with him. On getting out here an't proceeding to his employer's pre mises, it struck him that the bag felt much lighter than before. He examined it and found 119 sovereigns, which had been contained in a small canvass bag, were ionising. There was a hole in the carpet bag, and a correiponding one in the canvass bag, through which the sovereigns had been abstrac:ed. On learning his loss he immediately communicated it to his employers, and information was given to the police, and every means used to trace the robbery, but without avail. No imputation of fraud was cast upon the defendant, but conceiving that he had not used sufficient care the present action was brought. Mr. Sergeant WILKINs, for the defendant, contended that he had used every reasonable precaution. Ihe jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff,' on thu ground of want of proper caution. We are in a position to state, on the best authority, that the Bishop of London has at last expressed his deter mination to put down Puseyism wherever it exists within his diocese, and he has even gone so far as to specify the course which he means to adopt for the purpose of carrying out the resolution he has formed. He is to instruct his archdeacons to inquire into the real state of matters in those churches, within the limits of his jurisdiction, in which Puseyite principles and practices are reputed to prevail, and wherever the evidence of the existence of semi-Popish teach ings and ceremonies is clear, the clergymen under whose authority they have been introduced are to be peremptorily enjoined to desist from them for the future. And should the commands thus peremptorily given be disregarded proceedings will be immediately instituted against the offending parties,and carried forward with as much 'expedition as the forms of ecclesiastical law will allow, until the incriminated clergy men are ejected from the Church. As, however, Dr. Blom field is so slippery a gentleman, and has acted so inconsistent and vacillating a part, ever since the first developments cf Tractarianism, some persons may still have doubts as to his adopting the energetic course we have indicated. We should be sorry to pledge ourselves for anything which he may or may not do ; but if it will help the faith of our readers in the Right Rev. Prelate, we can add, that our information is de rived from a written pledge which he has given, to act in the manner we have mentioned.—Advertiser: METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—A. monthly court of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers was held yesterday, at the Sewers Court, tireek-street, Soho square, for the purpose of confirming or annulling a bye- law, made at a former court of sewers, held on the 15th day of October, for requiring return of plans of house drainage in the case of houses about to be built or rebuilt, houses in course of building or rebuilding, and of houses already built but not yet occupied. And also for approving or disapprov ing another bye-law made on the same day, for ordering re turns from district surveyors under the Building Act. Pay ments to the amount of 14,529/. for works in progress were ordered to be made. Mr. Edward Lewes moved that the bye-law, which had been adopted on the 15th of October last, :be now confirmed. Mr. P. Hardwick seconded the motion, which, after a few observations from Viscount Ebrington, was agreed to. ITALIAN OPERA IN PARIS.—The brilliant success of Mme. Sontag, in Donizetti's Figlia del Reggisnento, conti nues unabated. This opera has been repeated nightly since our preceding notice, with, if possible, an increase of enjoyment on the part of the public, and those who would properly estimate the comic talents of the great vocalist, as an actress, should by all means witness this finished and elegant performance. Notwithstanding the attractions of La Figlia, we shall, nevertheless, be delighted to see Lablache, who is pro mised to us on Saturday, in Il Barbiere, and afterwards in that sublime sample of a marrying man, Don Pas quale. In the meantime, the public would be charmed to hear our new Norma, Mme. Fiorentini, who left such a decidedly favourable impression, again in the character of the Druid Priestess. M. Ivanoff has been added to the company within the present week, and is daily expected to join the ranks. He will, we believe, make his delult in I Puritani, supported by Lablache, Colini, and Mme. Sontag. Colini has been expected hourly for the last three days.— ealignani. REPRESENTATION Or ST. ALBAN'S.....dT.

The Board of Admiralty have issued an order to make a series of experiments with her four boilers and engines of `LB6 horse power, The experiments commenced on Wednesday morning, under the superintend. ence of Mr. John Trickett, assistant to the chief engineer at the factory at Woolwich Dockyard, and will be concluded in the course of next week. These experiments will furnish correct data of the amount of evaporation of water with the whole of the four boilers, or when only working two boilers They will also afford t test as to the best description of coals for generating steam, each kind of coals being weighed be fore being put into the furnaces.
