order you to pay 20a., or a month.

NATIONAL .188001ATION FOR THZ PRO-

NOTION OP SOCIAL SCIENCE.

EVENING MEETINGS.
JIIRIBI'RUDKNCE.
The Section of Juisgeadewee reeeeembled in the 'teeing
at Burlington-how ; Mr. ORA& Gowan in the chair.
A paper by Mr. Wham, " On the Law of Letters Pa-
teat for Inventions," was read by Mr. WILIMITZE. The
writer pointed out the injurious effect of the present law
upon tho progress of invention.
Mr. WZBirrill next read a paper of his own upon the
same subject. He considered that whilst it was highly im-
portant to the country that the patent laws should be put
oe a more satisfactory footing, yet inventors ought to be
liberally rewarded.
Mr. SYMONIIe remarked that there wee scarcely any cliff,-
mance of opinion as to the right of inventors to protection.
He considered that every inventor ought to possess some
right to his invention as to property of any other kind.
Mr. COITTON thought the present laws were an intoler-
able restraint upon trade, and frequently served as an en-
gine of oppression.
Mr. wither said it appeared to hint that nothing was
more jut than that men should in some way or other be re-
warded for their ingenuity, and until some better method
were devised he thought the present law should be main-
tained.
Mr. Y.t1.31168 detailed the result of his own inquiries re-
specting the working of the Patent-office iu Suithampton•
buildings, Charcery-lane.
Mr. HINGWORTH protested against the whole theory of
the patent law, and after some further discussion,
Mr. Wier= replied. No doubt man y abuses existed
which ought to be rectified. The policy of the law was to
induce inventors to disclose their secrete, so that the public
might ultimately reap the advantage of them. He might
be allowed to remark that the most valuable provision of
the new patent law was that relating to the registration of
a provisional specification. (Hear.)
The proceedings tei.ninated at a late hour with a vote of
thanks to the chairman.

In response to the court, Mr. James read a statement of
facts upon which he relies, sworn to by himself, and em-
bodying the principal features of his speech delivered at the '
Astor-home. Mr. Brady appeared ea his counsel to speak
on the subject of " alienage," but it was not called for by
the committee or the court. The committee of the law
Institute were for some time silent after Mr. James bad con-
cluded. Some conversation irrelevant to the subject-
matter ensued. The court took the papers read by Mr.
James, and intimated that they would confer and pro-
nounce upon them on the following Saturday, on which day
no argument would be heart If the court should be Whi-
ned, then the matter would be at an end ; if they deemed
any argument on the other points necessary, they would so

Scarcely any business is going forward to-day in

PRUSSIA.

The Chamber of Nobles at Berlin decided in its
sitting of the 7th, with regard to a bill that had
been presented last session, that the present session
was only a continuation of the preceding one, and
that consequently the bills did not require to pass
through the same formalities as are required when
they are presented for the first time. The Chamber
of Deputies is not of the same opinion, and it is
possible that a conflict way arise between the two
chambers on this subject.

THE MEXICAN QUESTION.
MADRID, Jim 11.
The discussion on Mexican affairs was continued
in the Congress to-day.
Senor Calderon Collantes admitted having de-
clared that a monarchy was the best form of go-
vernment if the Mexicans were favourable to it,
but that he would support no form of government
by force. He had also declared that he ahoald see
with displeasure the throve of Mexico occupied by
any other than a Spanish prince.
Senor Collantes said nothing to indicate what
would be the future policy of the Spanish govern-
-1 ment in Mexico.

LATEST INTELLIGMCL.:,

RUSSIA.
THE LIBERAL MOVEMENT.

The Opinion Nationale publishes the following
observations on the present state of Russia, which,
however, hive the appearance of exaggeration :
Our last letters from St. Petersbusg state that the nobility
are using the most energetic effort, to counteract the in-
fluence of the government over the emancipated masses-
The opposition toe, it ia said, become most formidable In
the provinces of Trot, Moscow, Smolensk°, and Vladimir ;
the youths of the universities, of the colleges, and even of the
eeeleanatical schools, manifest more and more liberal
Onissoior, and a mysterious movement is remarked
moss the Poscolnies, or sectarians, who compose one-third
of the population, and who pretend to represent the com-
munal democracy. It is also stated that the government is
eel sure of the army, and more particularly mistrusts the
Imperial Guard, the young officers of which belong for the
most part to the political school of Alexandre Hertsen ;
that the journal the 161441 (the Bell), published in London
by that chief of the democratic party in Rolla, bads its
way into all the towns and villages to the very
bottom of Siberia, and that from ate end of
Russia to the other the people and the nobility loudly
call for Zemskov-Sobor, that is to say, a national assembly.
The government is deeply embarrassed, sad the Czar float
irresolutely between the different parties who meek to ob-
tain the direction of affairs. Thoth parties are four in nom-
bar 1. The democratic revolutionary, which hat no
avowed chiefs in the interior of the empire. 2. The minir
rate liberal, to which a relit portico of the nobility belong.
3. The court, called in Russia the German party, the
chiefs of which, the last remnants of the regime of eon.
motion of the Czar Nicholas, are MM. Adhere%
Prince Barge Dolgoronkov, Annenkov, and Prisalebe.
mike,. 4. The Russian oligarchical, directed by the Grand
Duke Constantine, brother of the Emperor. The last-
named party has, it is said, just gained the upper hand.
Primo Gortachakov will, according to this account, resign
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Prince Lobanov, now
Ambaaesdor at Constantinople ; M. Oholenaki replace IL
Panin in the Depertment of Justice ; MM. Panto:loos,
Milutio, and Valanov take three other portfolios, and the
command in the Caucasus be confided to Count Mouraviev-
Amourskiy. The letter adds that such a ministerial com-
bination would he unfavourably received by the ultra
parties.

FINE ABT&

FRITH'S "RAILWAY STATION.*

Never were expeetetious raised more highly by
adventitious means, and never did the event peon that
those expectations were bettor founded, than in the instance
of the picture by Mr. Frith, R. A., the "Railway Station,"
which in fulfilment of a two years' promise is at length sub-
mitted to the public in the small gallery in the Haymarket,
adjoining Mr. Buckstone's theatre. The great success of
"The Derby Day " of course led to the whole project of the
present picture. The separate and exclusive exhibition of
a single picture ice, however, we believe, unprecedented in
the ease of a Royal Academician, albeit the painter may
be perks* sealed to claim the right.
The present picture is certainly of larger appeal than
the Lane "Derby Day." It addresses Itself to universal
sympathies, embraces every variety of interest, and is a far
more sompreholve illustration of contemporary life. It
nisei' the manners and customs, the fashions and foibles,
the virtues and vices, the intelligence and wealth, the de-
gradation and poverty, the material and moral condition
' of the million among whom in this mighty Babylon we
live sad move and have our being. We have heard many
iiiishilly quibilies impacting Mr. Frith's choice of subject. A
rola., we think, might sadly be written in hie defence.
But Sle is seedless.

dant globular gas-lights (a difficulty to contend with), is
made by great artistic skill subservient to effects of aerial
perspective which usually demand a much larger epics, and
with the linear perspective of the diagonal lines give an Mu-
siveness which grows upon the spectator. A train is
about to start. The petters busily but oollectedly wheel

their truck loads of luggage, or peck it on the carriage

hampers suggestive of presents and aurprises. The news-
boys rush about with the morning papers sad Pure&
The whole length of the foreground is crowded by the pas-
sengers in whose infinitely varied feelings and emotion the
peat interest of the picture centres.
The composition, we may at once say, it very masterly.
The foreground, crowded se it is, has a oneness of ewe as
well as a converging dramatic unity which should, whatever
may be the subject, never be absent from a work of art.
Yet upon cheer inspection the crowd resolves itself into an
isinsease number of separate groups, each furnishing some
episode, and containing sufficient materials for an ordinary
picture.

we need scarcely remind the reader that the price paid
for this picture, and its copyright, by Mr. Plato% who com-
missioned it, viz., 8,700 guineas, is a larger sum than any
living artist has received for a single work. Mr. Frith's

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

La Farorifa was performed last night, and
Madame CsiDag made her first appearance this season in
the character of Lemaora.loardoni was to have apprised In
the part of Fernando, bat was prevented by an attack of
cold and hoarseness, and the part was taken, at very short
notice, (by Nerlliaraldi. This was unfortunate, as Fer-
nando is one of Gordon?' best parts. It was that in which
he made his &but many years ago before the English
public, and laid the foundation of the favour he has
always enjoyed in this country. His nnexpected
absence necessarily threw a damp over the performance ;
though Neri-Earaldi, nailer such adverse circumstances
acquitted himself in a meaner which did him great home;
and made a highly favourable impression on the audience.
He sang the air " Spirto geatil" with so fine a voice, and
so much expersion, that its repetition was maid for in •
burst of applause 'rein all parte of the house. Caillag's
impersonation of the frail but interesting heroine is the per-
fection of lyrical tragedy ; there is nothing in the whole 1:
range of the maxima stage that is more beautiful
or more pathetic. Douizettrs music —mull he has
written nothing finer than the music of this opera—
become, as it is poured from her lips, the pure and simple
language of sentiment and passion. Yon forget that it is
music. You hear the burst of joy,' the wail of anguish,
the dying murmur of • broken heart. This is what dra-
matic singing ought to be ; it seems all nature, while it is
the consummation of art. We would endeavour to point
out • few of the numberless beauties of her performance,
but the late hour (past midnight) at which the curtain fell
prevents us at present from =eking the attempt. Sig. Emmet,
a aewnomer this season, made his debut in the character
ofgthe Monk &blamer& He Las • fine bus voice with a
musician like style, and his action was dignified sad
impressive. In the scene, however, where the Dominican
hurls the thunders of the church at the heeds of the King
and his unhappy paramour, he lacked the terrific force which
the situation calls for. Faure sustained the part of the
King, and the character could not be in better hands. The
opera in to be repeated on Tuesday next, when it is hoped
that Gardesi will be able to assume his part.

THE CONDEMNED MURDERESS IN SCOTLAND.

The convict Mary Timney (says the Dumfries
Standard) is now receiving with sonic decree of oempoeure,
and with devoted attention, the ueremitting and kindly
services rendered by her spiritual adviser, the Rev. Mr.
Cowan, chaplain of the prim]. For several days after
sentence of death was pronounced upon her she was com-
pletely prostmted, and seemed given up to upper hopeless.
ness. The religious instruction communicated to her has
had, so far, • soothing influence on her mind. She has ac-
knowledged her awful crime to the chaplain, and given minute
details of ita communion, all of which have been taken down
in writing, and communicated to the sheriff, by whom the
statement has been sent to the Lord Advocate, who will
doubtless lay it before the Home Secretary. It is in effect
as follows :—She states that she and her husband (who
have been married ten years) lived happily together till
they came to reside at Carpshad about two years ago. Some
time after that, she says, the deceased Ann Hannah acquired
• great influence over her husband, which caused differ-
antes between them, and originated in her mind • jealousy
of the deceased. On the morning of the fatal occurrence
she went to gather some sticks for fuel, taking with her a
rope with which to tie them, when Ann Hannah seeing
her object, cried, " Are you coming here to steal more of
my sticks?" An altercation ensued, and blows sem ex-
changed. The prisoner then returned to her house, but,
still heated with the quarrel, returned to Ann Hannah's
house to give her a beating, but with no inten-
tion, she declares, of taking her life. The prisoner no
sooner entered the kitchen than she was met by Ann
Hannah, who gave her a violent kirk with • clog above the
knee inflicting a severe wooed, the sear of which is still
vhable. The tight was then renewed, blows being struck
on either side ; and in the course of the battle Ann Hannah
struck the prisoner with • wooden mallet or beetle (and
was thus the first, if this account be true, to use this fur.
midable weep= which figured so much at the trial). Ann
Hannah having dropped the mallet, it was picked up by the
primmer, who struck the deceased a heavy blow with it on
the side of the heed, by which she was stunned, and in the
frenzy of pension she followed up this blow with others.
The prisoner positively affirms that the mallet was not
hers, and was not taken by her to Ann Hannah's cottage.

ITALY.

A communication from Turin of the 14th, in the
Debates, says

The diplomatic body propose to follow the King to the
southern capital. The Prue= minister alone will remain
here ; his government not having yet recognised the king-
dom of Italy. Th►t recognition, there is every reason to
hops, will take place on his Majesty's return if, as cannot be
doubted, the }ourosy which King Victor Emmanuel is about
to undertake will show the inutility of any attempts at re-
storation, end give to the annexation a fresh ratification.
The Belie of Turin announces that Prince Oscar
of Sweden is expected at Turin, to take leave of
King Victor Emmanuel. Hui highness will im-
mediately leave again for Nice. The same paper
states that Prince Humbert, immediately after his
journey to London, will proceed to Naples, where
he will settle permanently, with his military
household, immediately after the King's depart-
ure. His Majesty will not, it is said, proceed to
Sicily this time, being unable to prolong his stay
sufficiently there ; but the visit is only adjourned
to October, when the King will honour all the
principal towns of the island with hie presence.

TO THE PRUSSIAN PEOPLE.

Our struggle for the constitution has begun to have its
victims. In the first rank are the deputies who, faithfra
to their commission, have defended constitutional right. A
public functionary who belongs to the majority of the
Chamber of Deputies has been dismissed. It is to be fear; 1
that this first step upon an inclined plane will be followed
by others. It is the people's cause which is defended
by these gentlemen, and it is, consequently, the
indispensable duty of the people to sustain them,
when their fidelity to conviction exposes them to measures
which threaten their civil existence and the,• independence.
A people which has had the courage and the firmness to
elect, without being troubled by the numerous attempts
made to influence them, such deputies as it pleases, will
also have the strength and the perseverance to indemnify
the defenders of the constitution for the injury which
they sustain in the accomplishment of their duty ;
for what is required is indemnity, by means of a
voluntarlcontribution, for injury sustained, and not charity
and testimonials. The sublime unanimity the Prussian peo-
ple has shown in the defence of the constitution will also
manifest itself here, where acts ought to follow
words. Without wishing to prejudge the resolu-
tions of the different electoral divisions, the under-
signed, members of the central electoral committee, declare
themselves ready to receive and distribute the subscriptions
which it may be desired to make on behalf of those wbom
the present struggle exposes to persecution.

THE ALHAMBRA.

L. 1,4 night a new aupirant for the approbation of
the Leaden public appeared at the Alhambra, and with
most unequivocal success. Although better known in Ger-
MIMI! .14't France than in England, and rejoicing in the
rather oriental name of " Olmar." the new presentee is of
genuine Saxon origin, but be will not surely be the lees ac-
ceptable to the English public on that account. To these
who have been recentl♦ in Paris, and vidted the
Cirque Napoleon, the feats of Olmar will be so
novelty; but to Londoners, even though long fa-
miliar with Biondi° and Leotard, the recent comer will
present in the trapezic line something perfectly new—a
comi,ination of flying and clambering io the air which ir quite
astonishing. Making his appearance on the stage, Olmar
ascends some fifty feet high to a horizontal ladder, through
the rungs of which he gets in and out with the agility of a
wildcat, leaps from one to the other, balances himself, and
runs along them with an ease which many who walk on
tcrt might well envy. Ascending still higher from
his ladder to a moveable trapeze, the gymnast swings from
right to left on a single foot, and after having won his
well-^arned applause in this dangerous position he rides it
backw Ira* and forwards, still steady on his sinewy leg.
Mountiug yet aloft, he walks through the air head down-
ward, supported simply by the instep inserted in a series of
rine*. 'Haei Olmar performed at Hippo, Augustine might
well believe in the capacity of man to walk head dowuwerds,
even before the discovery of the law of gravitation. This,
the ie.-ood portion of his performance, being concluded, he
springs from his frail machinery apparently into void apace,
but his unlike feet twine themselves around an unnoticed
rope, along which he descends from his perilous height
in the most graceful of attitudes. Unquestionably Olmar
is the west agile funambulist that has yet appeared. He
seems to be more at home in the "upper air" than any
truontet that has yet appeared, and the confidence with
which the ease and freedom of his motions beueath the
ehnudeliers inspire the spectators removes half the terror
which his perilous positioo would otherwise cre►te, although
some esclamatioos of horror on one er two occasions escaped
from the spectator. Unquestionably Olmar will be the
great attraction in this line of entertainment during his stay
in London, and the Alhambra has made • decided hit in
'securing his services. He was called on the stage four times
after his performance to receive the acknowledgments of the
spectators, who were most numerous on the occasion.
