BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. The followincn testimonials is another proof of the great efficacy of this Medicine : 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12th, 1850. Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have experienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly afflicted. About twenty years since I was first attacked by Rheumatic Gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every variety of climate having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. 1 always procured the best medica 11 , but without obtaining any essential relief, and my su ngs can be appre ciated only by those who know sometif of this disease. It was during one of those paroxy s, between twelve and thirteen years ago, that I was rec Amended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the painyad entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health: From that moment w enever I feel any symptoms of the disease approaching, I ve instant recourse to this Medicine, which to me is so v able that were it not that the days of magic have ceas , I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that c se. Aloreover,l rejoice to say that my health has not in any egree suffered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character.—l am, sir, yours respectfully, GARRET FOSTER GILL. To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London. For Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Tic-Doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analagous complaints, it is a sovereign remedy; and the speedy relief afforded in this in stance is parallel with the testimonials of The late Rev. Dr. Blomberg, of Misperton Hall, Rector of Cripplegate, London, and Chaplain to his Majesty William the Fourth; John Molard Wheeler, Esq., of Jamaica, transmitted by his brother at Swin don; John James 'Giles, Esq., Frimley, Surrey; R. Mandell, Esq., Coroner, Doncaster ; Mr. Courtney, Barton Stacey, Hants; Mr. Cosher, Beaconsfield; Mr. Yates, traveller to Messrs. Day and Martin, London; Mr. Nasmyth, 208, Picca dilly, London ; Mr. Dixon and Mr. Blake, Kingscliffe, North amptonshire; and that extraordinary case of Lieut. Masters, of the Veteran Battalion, Newfoundland ; and many others whose particular cases have been already published, and were given unsolicited to assure sufferers by Gout, Rheumatism, &c., that speedy relief may be obtained by taking this Medicine. The respectability of BLAIR'S PILLS rests in a great degree upon the truth of its testimonials, and the strictest inquiry is solicited into all that has been published. Sold by THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London ; and all re spectable Medicine Vendors. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

DE ROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PILLS.- "' It is not generally known that the above, and almost every other affection of the system, are more or less dependent on impurity of the blood, arising from imprudence or other wise. These Pills consist of a combination of medicines, which act -more particularly upon the stothach, blood•vessels, and kidneys, as their name Renal the kidneys) indicates, and through them establish the r tar action of the organs, thus striking at once at the ro f the complaint, and purifying the system. It is a well- wn fact that diseases of the skin, &e , may be temporaril ieved, and apparently cured, by out war d and violent ap ations, &c., but the virus remains in the system, to br our again in a more dreadful form at another time. An ex ensive practice in the above diseases warrants the Proprietor in asserting that in no case where this Medicine is perseveringly taken can it possibly fail, being compounded on scientific and infallible principles, the result of immense prac ticable experience. "The Lady of a Liverpool merchant, after being under the care of one of the first physicians in that town for many months with pains in the back and elsewhere, but to no purpose, was induced to try a small box of De Roos' Compound Renal Pills, from which she derived more benefit than from all the medi cines ever prescribed for her by her medical attendant. The truth of the above will be verified by Mr. JONES, 5, Paradise street, Liverpool, to whom the lady's Physician candidly made the avowal." John Andrews, Abersychan, Pontypool.—" After taking a box of your Pills, I am so much better that I am induced to send for another." Mr. Milton Welch, Furness.—" Your Renal Pills are the only medicine I have met with that have been of service." Mr. T. Bloem, Limekiln-street, Dover.—" Please to send a .few more of your wonderful Pills. My wife feels great relief already." -iiii.-:"'"weatmacott, 4, Market-street, Manchester. — "Your medicines are very hi gh l y them of me." spoken of by all who have purchased Mr. smith, Times Office, Leeds.—" One person informs me that-your Renal Pills are worth a guinea a box." 2, Buckingham Place, Brighton.—" Major Micklethwait thinks it but justice to Dr. De Rosa and his invaluable Medi cine, to inform him that he had suffered very much from pains in the back and loins, which induced hi m to try the Renal Pills, after which he finds himself quite free from pain, &c." N.B. Persons wishing to consult the doctor by letter must send a detail of the symptoms, &C., with the usual fee of by post-office order, payable at the Holborn Office, for which the necessary medicines and advice will be sent to any part of the world. ___ Holborn lolborn Address WALTER Ds Roos, M.D., 35, Ely Plateiell Hill, London, where he may be consulted from 10 and 4 till 8, Sunday excepted, unless by previous arrangement.

Ds Roos. CAUTION.—A self-styled ten shilling Doctor (unblushing impudence being his only qualification) is now advertising un der.a different name, a highly injurious imitation of these Pills, and a useless abbreviated copy of Dr. De Roos' celebrated Medical Adviser, slightly changing its title: sufferers will therefore do well to see that the stamp round each box is a bona fide government stamp, not a base counterpart, and to guard against the truthless statements of this individual, which are published only for the basest purposes of deception on invalids and fraud on the proprietor. TO PREVENT FRAUD on the public by imitations of the above valuable medicine, her Majesty's Honourable Commis sioners of Stamps have directed the name of the proprietor, in white letters on a red ground, to be engraved on the govern ment starpp round eacu box, without which none are genuine, and to imitate which too closely is felony and transportation. N.B.—Should difficulty occur in obtaining the above, enclose the price in postage stamps to the Establishment.

ABRAHAM BURROWS, 51, Crown-street, Liverpool, Eiberpoot :74)tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 23, 1851. AFFAIRS IN FRANCE. THE fate of Louis Napoleon, the fate of France, and the fate of all Europe is at this moment decided by the voice of the French people, though we cannot know for certain what that voice will be for several days to come. There can be little doubt, however, that a vast majority of the population, now revelling in the luxury of universal suffrage, will answer "yes" to the question put to them, and that they will prefer Louis Napoleon, and something like order and stability, to Louis Blanc, solialism and anarchy. The army and navy have already declared ; the first in an all but unanimous voice, the latter by three to one in favour of the dictator. The question of the prolongation of the power of Louis Napoleon may thus be regarded as settled in the affirmative. So far as England is concerned we must say that, considering the circumstances by which the President was surrounded, and the cluster of ambitious and intriguing men who were waiting for the first opportunity to grasp at power and plunge their country again into confusion, we shall rejoice should our anticipations be realised. We can neither defend the President for the lawless and violent acts he has committed, nor condemn him altogether as the perpetrator of an unnecessary and voluntary public crime. He upset by violence a constitution which was itself based upon a violent revolution. He met by force and fraud a conspi racy that only waited the opportune moment to attack him, when its fraud should be matured and its force organised. He was beforehand in striking a blow, which was criminal in itself, but which was likewise directed against criminals. Should he succeed, as we think he will, temporarily at least, in establishing a government that can give security to life and property at home, and afford guarantees that the rights of foreign nations will be respected, we must be permitted to say that we shall not regret his coup d' tat. We abhor despotiC govern ments, and therefore we have no sympathy with Louis Napoleon's regime, per se; but we abhor anarchy still more, and therefore we rejoice that France is saved from falling into the abyss of socialism and infidelity that stood yawning to receive her. Since the 2nd of December, Louis Napoleon has evinced more discretion, wisdom, and genius for governing than the world gave him credit for previously. Much of his future fortunes will depend on the kind of constitution he will propose—for some sort of a constitution in name, if nothing else, he must frame. Much, too, will depend on his future system of administration. But there is little use in endeavouring to peer into the future—particularly the future of France. Louis Napoleon, like his uncle, believes that he is a " Man of Destiny ;" it may be so; but we hope he will not, like his uncle, tempt his destiny too far. PHILOSOPHICAL FARMING—ALL IS NOT GOLD THAT GLITTERS. ONE of the easiest achievements in life for the unscrupulous, active, and impudent, is to propagate a falsehood, and to make it for a time pass current as a truth. They have only to originate any tale or statement that suits their purpose, to go on repeating it incessantly until those who know it to be untrue grow weary of exposing it, and then to assume that it is admitted by all and incapable of contradiction. So far can this process be carried, that the very fabricators of the falsehood are fre quently, at last, beguiled into the belief that the coinage of their own brain is a palpable substance ; and no effort of reason can dispel the delusion, once it has fairly taken possession of their minds. The men who systematically wage war against all the time-honoured institutions and principles of this country have had great experience, and, we regret to add, extraordinary success, in this species of performance. The monstrous calumnies and audacious assertions that have, of late years, been made by mob orators, and echoed by the press, and repeated by ten thousand voices, till the public ear, by dint of habit, received them as notorious truisms, need only to be hinted at ; the reader will readily recollect many without our enumera tion, or further assisting his memory. But there is one to which we would just now particularly allude. It was charged over and over again against the Farmers of Great Britain, that they were an idle, ignorant class, far behind the spirit of the age, unacquainted with science, obstinate, addicted to exploded processes of cultivation, and pig headedly adverse to all new improvements and to the application of economic principles to the practice of their farming operations. The hard working tillers of the soil not being a talkative, gregarious body, and not having sufficient loud tongued advocates to speak for them, were condemned, by default ; and every smart man who had a pen or a voice at command, felt himself at liberty to hurl all sorts of ribaldry and opprobrium on them, certain that the unthinking public would enjoy a hearty laugh any day at the expense of the awkward, unenlightened clod-hoppers. Some taunted them with knowing nothing at all about their business, and coolly requested them to give it up to better men. Some undertook to instruct them, at times in sober seriousness, and at times in cruel jest. One said, farm high ; and another said, don't farm at all. One mockingly cried, turn graziers, and throw corn to the dogs. Another saucily shouted, grow vegetables for the London market—that's the way now to win fortune. So the wags indulged their wit at public meetings, and in newspaper articles. Careless all the while, that what was fun to them was death to the important class against whom they were firing their pointed missiles. But amongst the clever town-bred as sailants of the honest rustics, there were a few who were so thoroughly deceived by their own oft repeated fabrications, that they implicitly believed all they habitually asserted, and were fully per suaded that the British farmers were the ignorant and good-for-nothing lot they were reported to be. These few set about demonstrating their proposi tion in a manner the most incontroverti')le. They turned farmers themselves for the nonce, deter mined to prove by actual practice that their new theories were sound, and that the old principles of working the land were vicious, and even ridicu lously absurd. One of the most earnest and intel ligent go-a-head of these agricultural reformers was a certain sharp razor-strop manufacturer in Lead enhall-street, London, who having unlimited capi tal and leisure, and of course a superabundance of scientific and economic knowledge, set up his model farm, which was designed to show how corn I could be grown, and cattle bred, and every kind of farm produce raised at a comfortable profit, not- 1 withstanding the burdens on the land, and the low prices now obtainable. The Tiptree-hall model farm was cited and pointed at by all as a triumphant evidence of what could be done by the judicious application of money, labour, and science. It was beautiful to look at, perfect in all its arrange ments, and thoroughly philosophical in compre hensive symmetry. Still one thing was long re quired to render it complete as a practical refutation of the ancient agricultural system, and that one thing was long coming—the balance sheet. It has, however, at last appeared, and what is the result ? After doing everything that man could, and putting in execution every species of science and economy, and using all kinds of new inven tions, the farmer of Tiptree-hall is obliged to exhibit, in this current year, the astounding loss of £653 18s. 4d., upon an occupancy of 170 acres, being not less than £3 16s. 11d. per acre on the wrong side of the account ! If this specimen of high farming does not settle the question, we are at a loss to know what will. We think that British farmers are infinitely indebted to Mr. Mechi for thus demonstrating the folly of those town-bred dillettanti agriculturists who have the presumption to lecture practical men upon the mode of conducting a business to which they have been trained, and to which they have devoted as much skill and enterprise as any other class in existence. This Tiptree-hall balance-sheet is indeed invaluable, because it clearly proves that taxation and local burdens enhance the cost of production in this country to such an extent, that, at present prices for corn and cattle, the cultivation of the land cannot be carried on with a profit, no matter what amount of capital, enterprise, and scientific skill be expended on it. If Mr. Mechi, with the aid of steam, chymistry, economic labour, and unlimited capital drawn from his Leadenhall razor-strop manufactory, cannot work his model farm except at a loss of more than ten times the rent, what chance has any practical farmer (who has no town shop to supply the funds) to pay his way, much less to derive a living from his land, how highly cultivated soever it may be ? This balance-sheet is also invaluable, as proving that no reduction of rent will enable the tiller of the soil to work it with a profit at the present prices of produce ; for, were the whole rent struck off the Tiptree-hall farm, the loss would still be ruinous to all but a millionnaire. Mr. Mechi has the candour to admit that, though he does not think farm€rs ought to despair, farming is not as profitable as trades or professions. Upon his own showing, we should certainly say not. THE COUNCIL AND THEIR DETRACTORS FOR some time past, and especially during the last two ar three years, there have been frequent complaints that our Town Council is losing the high tone which it for merly possessed. The grumblings have sometimes as sumed a very offensive form—they have tended to excite class against class, and the names of individuals have been bandied about more freely than fairly and wisely. In common with a very large number of the public, possess ing either good sense or good taste, we deprecate this practice, and, in our last number, under the heading of the present article, we bad some well-meant remarks, the correctness of which few will question, who take the trouble to read them. We studiously avoided the practice, common in certain quarters, of dragging in the names of individuals when speaking of general prin ciples ; and our opinions were fortified by the concluding paragraph in a letter of Rector Campbell's to Mr. Picton. An article in the Mail of Saturday, entitled, " Rector Campbell on Dignities,' " without successfully replying to a single position, take either by ourselves or Mr. Campbell, endeavours to show that. the Town Council, in Liverpool, is much more degraded than we suppose. This may be; but, on a matter of opinion, we must be excused for using our own judgment still. The writer affects to believe that we speak disrespect fully of the mercantile class, and evidently supposes that we are advocates of tradesmen in opposition to them. Now, he ought to be aware that this rivalry of classes is one of his own errors, which not only receives no counte nance in our remarks, but to which we are decidedly opposed. We said nothing of the merchants, as a class, but we showed that certain individuals, who are not only frequently but habitually the impugners of our present councillors, were themselves once high in office and in public favour ; and, as these happen to be mer chants, surely it is an evidence, so far as it goes, " that the public are losing confidence in them." As an apparent contradiction to our reasoning, the Mail mentions with particular approval the names of Mr. Hugh llornby, Mr. James Aspinall Tobin, Mr. George Bolt, and Mr. Edmund Molyneux. We are glad that he does so ; and, although differing in some important respects from Mr. Holt, we would rejoice to see every one of these gentlemen occupying, in turn, the civic chair. But surely the writer is inconsistent with himself. We tried to show that our Council is still highly respectable, as a whole, and it would be no reply to instance a few excep tional cases, if such exist. Still less is it a reply to quote the names of four or five gentlemen, of high standing no doubt, but equalled in every important point by others who are not mentioned. We believe " the head and front of our offending" to be, that a much praised and much abused member of the Town Council is supposed to have written the article in question. Whatever be his merits or defects, it is only due to him to say that neither directly nor indirectly was he, or any other member of that body implicated, in a sin gle word or sentiment which appeared in our columns. The Mail attributes the remarks to this gentleman, partly in consequence of some " dog Latin" said to be contained in them. This is the well-known quotation, quantum," intended as a modification to a remark which was perhaps sufficiently limited without it. In proof of the excellence of the writer's scholarship, he evidently does not see the force of the modification ; and his amended reading of the genuine Latin is " valeot guar turn" ! We are, of course, greatly edified by this display of erudition. '• valeat The Standard is called " our new and almost unknown contemporary ;" on what grounds, we are at a loss to know. The Standard was' established long before the Mail, so that if novelty be an objection, it applies to himself. If he means to suggest that the fact of a news- paper changing proprietors is damaging, he seems to forget how often his own print has changed hands. The present proprietor of the Standard will guard at least as earnestly as his predecessors against the introduction of ribaldry, scurrility, and personality ; and this the public do not require to be told is more than is done by those to whom the guardianship of the Mail is entrusted. Such allusions as those made by the Mail are happily unusual, and in the present instance totally uncalled for ; but if repeated, they shall meet with a suitable answer. IN CHANCERY-INJUNCTION MILNER V. HARRISON AN application was made on Thursday, the 25th September, before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, at Bath, on behalf of Mr. William Milner, as Executor of the late Thomas Milner, the Patentee of an Inven tion of "Improvements in Boxes, Safes, or other Depositories for the Protection of Papers or other materia's from Fire," for an injunction to restrain the defendant, John Germsn Harri son, of Liverpool, his agents, servants, &c., from making, using, putting in practice, or vending, or procuring to he made, &c., during the remainder of the term mentioned in the Letters Patent granted to Mr. Thomas Milner, any Boxes, Safes, or other depositories made in such or the like manner, or on the same or the like principle as the said Thomas Mil ner's Invention, or in anywise counterfeiting, imitating, or resembling the said Invention. Mr. 'Webster appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Shebbeare for the defendant, and affidavits in support of and in opposition to the motion were read. Milner's invention consisted in the use of substances, distributed in an absorbent material in spaces between the outer and inner casings of the Box, which substances, when exposed to heat, evolved steam or moisture, the combined effect ef the moisture and the material, kept humid, protecting the Safes, enclosing.papers, &c., from fire. The defendant sold Safes and Boxes; which he represented to be made under a Patent granted to Messrs. Tann, of Lon don, but which the plaintiff contended were substantially made according to Milner's Invention, and were an infringe ment on his Patent. An action had been brought by the plaintiff against the defends for the infringement, and tried in June last, before Lord C of Justice Campbell and a special jury, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, the defendant's counsel tendering a Bill& Exceptions to the direction of the learned judge on the construction of Mr. Milner's specification. Notwithstanding thlii verdict, the defendant Harrison had continued to sell the Boxes and Safes complained of, and the affidavits filed by the plaintiff proved the recent sale by defen dant of a Safe, which scientific witnesses stated was substan tially the samells those proved on the trial, and found to be an infringement. This was verified by Doctor Musprat - whose analysis accompanied his affidavit. The affidavit of Mr. John Tann stated that he believed this Safe had been made by him and his partners, and he alleged that it was made according to their specification His iloNotru stated the principle on which the Court inter fered in cases of this kind, and observed that Tann's specifi cation appeared to contemplate only a dry non-conductor to stop the beat, whereas Milner's created a further obstruction to the fire, by producing at the period when the fire began t• act on the box an effusion of steam, which pervaded the non conducting material with moisture, and thereby protected the Safe and its contents. His Honour adverted to the long enjoy ment of the Patent which was granted in 1840, the result of the trial at law, and the clear opinion in the plaintiff's favour expressed by the Lord Chief Justice, and in which his Honour concurred, stating that he considered Milner's was a Patent claiming every mode by which the liquid. &c., might be em ployed to moisten the absorbent material; and he concluded by granting the injunction in the terms of the motion. PRESERVATION OF BOOKS, DEEDS, &c., FROM FIRE. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, JUNE 23RD, 1851, BEFORE LORD CAMPBELL AND A SPECIAL JURY MILNER v. HARRISON. (Vie latter selling Tann's Safes and Boxes, and advertising hitnseljassole proprietor of l'ann's Patent Safes, Chests, .5-c.) The above trial was instituted for the purpose of vindicating the exclusive right, on the part of the Plaintiff, of applying liquids, or materials evolving moisture on the application of heat, together with ether absorbent materials, within the chambersof Boxes, Safes, or Depositories, calculated to per: vade the chambers and contents of the safes with moisture and steam, when heated by fire, thereby preserving the papers from ignition. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Webster, appeared for the Plaintiff; and Sir F. The siger, Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Dindmarsh, for the Defen dant. After the case had been stated by Mr. Crowder evidence was given by Mr. Grantham, of Liverpool, Civil Engineer and Surveyor of Steamers to the Board of Trade; Mr. Samuel Woods. jun.. of London, formerly of Liverpool ; Mr. J. W. Pitcher, of Liverpool; Mr. Alderman Bennett, Ironfounder, of Liverpool; Dr. Sheridan Muspratt, Professor of Chymistry, Liverpool; Mr. John Smith, President of the Guardian Society. Liverpool ; Mr. B. Woodcroft, Professor of Machinery at the University College, London ; and by Mr. John Owens, one of the foremen of Milner's Works for the last twenty years, on the utility, originality, &c., of Alilner's Safes—of which upwards of 25,000 are now in use—and also of the infringe ment of Milner's Patent by the Defendant, who was proved to have used the very materials in the Safes and Boxes he had tested and sold, which be had seen used by the Plaintiff's firm, when in their service as Shopman, from 1840 to 1849. This was followed by Sir F. Thesiger's reply for the Defendant, who called several witnesses, but whose testimony, on cross-exami nation, completely established the Plaintiff's case. Mr. Crowder finally addressed the Jury on the facts, and Lord CAMPBELL then summed up. This, he said, was an action for the infringement of a patent granted on the 20th of August, 1840, for certain alleged improvements in boxes for the protection of papers from fire. The defer dant set up several defences, which he would not take exactly in their proper order. Ist. He said that there was no proper specifica tion of this patent. 2dly. That Milner, the patentee, was not the inventor ; also, that it was not a new invention, that it was not a useful invention ; and that, at all events, the defendant had not infringed the patent. He had taken the evidence very fully, and if the jury thought it would assist them he would read it over. The Jury intimated that they did not think it necessary. Lord CAMPBELL then said, he should shortly direct their attention to the several questions they were to determine, for they were all for their determination. With regard to the in fringement, he would repeat the direction he had before given them. Here was the specification, and although be thought this issue was hardly disputed, they must consider whether an ordinary workman, of ordinary skill, looking at it, could make one of the boxes it described. The witnesses bad said that al ordinary workman, in their judgment, would be able to do so. The next issue was with regard to the novelty of the inven tion. The third and fourth were so much alike that they might be taken as part of the same question. It lay on the plaintiff to show that this was a new invention, and if he gave prima fade evidence that it was so, the defen dant would have to show that it was not. Now there was cer tainly strong evidence on the part of the plaintiff to show that it was new. It was for them to say whether it was properly an invention for the protection of papers against fire. The papers were locked in an iron box, having cases enclosed, leaving chambers between t e two cases, and the object was to have some substance that would give out a moisture upon the appli cation of the heat, and the steam thus produced was to be in closed in the box and moisten the papers so that they might be preserved from the effects of fire. There had been several wit nesses of respectability on both sides, although several of those called for the defendant had only recently turned their atten tion to this subject. Several witnesses for the plaintiff said that, although there bad been an addition to the old safe which consisted merely of a single iron box, a mode having been in troduced of having an s utter box, the great object was to in troduce some non-conducting substance, so that the operation of heat might be retarded as much as possible ; but that there was nothing until Mr. Milner's patent to moisten the papers by the operation of steam. _ _ On the part of the defendant, he chiefly relied on Marr's and Chubb's patents, and it would be for them to say whether those patents were not confined - to introducing non-conductors. The object of both was to save papers from destruction, but the mode and operation was the question in dispute. He had been puzzled to know the difference between the two patents of Marr and Chubb, and he afterwards found from one of the witnesses that there was no distinction between them. They both had non-conductors in the inner case, but neither seemed to have had the slightest contemplation of any liquid, as their object was rather to have substances as dry as possible, but had ne notion of a liquid which ;vas to be condensed into steam to moisten the papers in the inner case. They had heard the evidence, and it would be for them to say whether they were satisfied that the invention which Mr. Milner set out in kis specification was known before the date of his patent. If they thought it was, they would find that issue for the defendant ; and if they thought it was not, they would find it for the plaintiff. The third and fourth issues were substantially the same, being that Mr. Milner was not the inventor, and the invention was not new. If Mr. Milner was the inventor, the invention was new; and if lie was not the inventor, it was not new. Then came the issue of whether it was useful, and he must say he had been astonished to find such strong evidence of its useful ness. Up to this hour he bad no idea that there were any human means of so effectually preserving papers from the action of fire. It appeared that, by means of the condensation of steam, the papers enclosed in the inner box were rendered moist. It was a comfort for one to know that there was an in vention, by which valuable documents might be rendered secure, notwithstanding the terrible calamity of fire breaking out in a house. Although the defendant had thought fit to say it was not useful, lie was really at a loss to say what evidence there was to raise any doubt as to its utility ; but the question was for them alone. Now came the direction lie should give them in point of law, and in this they must be guided by what he said. Ile thought there might be an infringement, although the de fendant did not use vessels, pipes, or tubes for containing the liquid. All the rest be left to them ; but he only said that it was not indispensably necessary that the defendant should use pipes, tubes, or artificial vessels, but they were to consider whether the evidence was sufficient to convince them that the defendant had infringed the patent. They would bear in mind that respectable professors from King's College, and other seminaries of learning, had been called for the defendant, and they would consider whether they disproved the infringement. Tann's patent could only be evidence on the ground of infringe ment, for it was net taken out until nearly four years after Milner's; but if, as it would appear that Harrison sold Tann's boxes, he could not say that they were not to look to Tann's specification, if they came to the conclusion that the boxes made by _Tann were the same as those Milner described in his specifi cation. They were to look on all the evidence on either side bearing on these issues ; and if they thought that, although the boxes that the defendant sold did not contain any pipes, tubes, or artificial vessels for containing the liquid, they contained alum and other substances from which moisture was to be ex tracted by heat; if they thought they were substantially the same as Milner's, they would find that issue for the plaintif • and if they thought they were not the same as Milner's, for the defendant. They were at liberty to find that issue for tke plaintiff, although the defendant did not use any pipes, tubes or artificial vessels. If they thought the process was substan: tially the same as that mentioned in the plaintiff's specificatio n , they would find that issue f or th e pl a i n tiff . Th ey must bear in mind that the plaintiff said, " I claim as my invention the in troduction or application of the combined effect in chambered boxes, or depositories of the moisture and material kept humid in the space surrounding the innermost box, and its contents, without in any way being confined to the material or liquid employed, or the manner in which it may be distributed or arranged, in order to produce the desired effect of protecting boxes, safes, or other depositories enclosing papers, or other materials, from fire." It was on the construction of these words that he had directed them in point of law, that the de fendant may have infringed the patent, although he (lid net make use of tubes, or pipes, or artificial vessels. With this exception, lie left it for them to say if the defendant had jai. fringed the patent; if they found that it was so, damages net being in dispute, the sum of forty shillings would be sufficient: but they were to consider, themselves, which way they would find their verdict The Jury, after a short deliberation, said they found their verdict upon all the issues for the plaintiff. ♦ERDICT FOR THE PLAINTIFF, Upon this verdict, establishing theof Milner's P a . tents, so fully confirmed by his Hononr the Vice-Chancellor's decision, further proceedings in Chancery are being adopt e d against a!" parties S.ellidil, Holding, or Using these Safes sr Boxes.

THE TOWN MUSEUM A SPECIAL meeting of the Town Council was held on Wednesday last, one of the prominent items of business being to consider the recent propositions respecting the library, museum, and gallery of art in the town. The report was given at length, but the resolutions on it con sisted of two parts. The Derby collection may be considered as secured to the town, on terms that are at once equitable and explicit. There are to be trustees, twelve in number, when the parish comes to have but one rector; six of whom will be ex officio, and six elected by those from qualified gentle. men in the town and neighbourhood. The curator will not be absolutely chosen by these trustees, but he will be selected by the Town Council from three, whose names they will submit. The Town Council are to be responsi. ble for the suitable preparation and preservation of the specimens; the collection is to be open to the public at least four days in each week, as well as a fifth by special permission ; and suitable additions may be made from time to time, with the concurrence of the trustees, pro vided that these are specially marked. The guarantees for the fulfilment of these condition are the following :--44Ji shall be cnmpetent for the trustees on the one hand, and the Town Council, or any committee of it, on the other, to bring any matter in difference before the head curator or keeper of the British Museum, for the department in question, whose order or decision shall be final, and be acted upon as the case may be, with power to the trustees to enforce the same if necessary, by mandamus, or by application to the High Court of Chancery, or to the Court of Chancery for the county palatine of I in a summary manner, at the cost of the Corporation." To all these conditions Lord D..rby has given his consent, and has signified his intention of presenting a valuable collection of eggs, as an accompaniment to the specimens of ornithology. The Council have unanimously confirmed the arrangement, and have added a vote of thanks for the new and unsolicited donation. The collection of the Royal Institution is for the present lost to the public, and is the property merely of the nominal proprietors. It will not be open even on the well-known free days, the first Monday in erch month, as the Council have withdrawn the £lOO a year which they paid for this privilege. The chairmnn of e committee, in moving account of the confirmation of the report, gave a the various arrangements that had been suggested from time to time, and pointed out the only one of three possible courses, which he thought the Council ought to follow. The plan of joint management had been re- jected, and that of transfe Royal Institution, to tains them, had also been rejected ons of the ,gether with the building which con- there wa it that of the town going on. Much he contended, no el forward independently with its was said not bearing directly on this point, but in reply to arguments and observations uttered "in another place ;" own collect and these remarks derived additional force from the con trast of Lord Derby's liberal conduct, with that of some n the financial statement of Mr. Picton and Mr. Samuel Holme, it appears that it would in our own town. not be advantageous either to purchase or rent the pre sent buildings of the Royal Institution ; that a better .11" for the " can be easily obtained. It is probable, therefore, that no impediment will occur to the production of a Town Museum on an extensive scale ; the credit of the Council is now implicated, and we hope to see the project seconded by their intelligence also The town clerk's reply to Mr. Bennett's question seems to say that concentration of museums is not yet an im- possibility.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH LONDON, MONDAY LON DON.—A Cabinet Council was held to-day at the Foreii office, which was attended by ad the members in town. PARIS. Monday, 11 cm (From third edition of Morning Po,t.) The votes Known at Lisle, Rouen, :Milne, Valenciennes, and some towns in the provinces :—Yes, 173,000 ; no, 2:4,000. The Globe's correspondent says:—Yesterday (Sunday) the prevailing opinion was that Louis Napoleon would have a large majority for ['axis; to- , lay, however, there is much less confi dence. I may say even that considerable anxiety was mani tested, for large bodies of workmen who were expected to vote "Yes." have gone up to the poll , ccompanied by known Social ists. It is supposed that there will be from 320,000 to 350,000 votes for Paris, and it will not surprise the if at least 150,000 be not against Louis Napoleon, but it is expected he will have a large majority in the departments. At the'F.lysee all the people appear confident as to the elec tion, but I am assured that o❑ the eventuaFty of a different result, some of the greatest personages in France, including even Legitimists and Orlean'sts, have met to resolve on and appeal to Louis Napoleon to remain end protect them from anarchy. M. de Morny, the Minister of the Interior, has com— manded an attendance of the Syndic of the printers of Paris, informing them that it is the intention of the Government tO prevent the publication, unless previously approved of by them, any book or pamphlet of less than ten sheets. Victor Hugo, who was closely pursued by the police, made his escape into Belgium, by means of a false passport.

AUSTRIA, Dec. 17.—1 t is generally believed that M. de Herehner, on the part of Austria, and M. de Jaisselleff. the Russian minister, were confidential friends of the President before the late coup d'etat. Notes complaining. of the dan gerous support given to political fugitives in England were presented by the representatives of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, and the German Confederation, at the British Foreign-office, on the 12th. A similar note has been handed to Lord Cowley by the band at Frankfort. A considerable sum of money, which had been forwarded to Hungary by the London democrats, had fallen into the hand s of thevgovern ment.
