His Hadar Vice-Chancellor Eindenley moos taking his
mat this morning gave judgment in this important ease of
espyright, which was argued for several days last term. It
was an sanctities for an injunction made by Mr. Murray,
the publisher of Alberniarle-strest, to restrain the defend-
ant, Mr. Bogue, the bookseller and publisher of Fleet-
street, from pirating his (the plaiatirs) book called the
" Hand-book for Travellers is Switzerland and the Alpe of
Savoy and Piedmost." The bill of the plaintiff alleged
that parts of the defendant's work, ailed "Switzerland
sad Savoy," had been pasted from Mr. Murray's
book ea the some sailgost, that in many respects
ma whir me lad been made of his Swiss hand-
book ; the_ sod plan of it had been followed to a
very sensith extent, and it stated that the latent and
nature M tbe alleged piracy of his copyright would appear
from the isigeolion and comparison of the respective works.
His bower, akar piag through the farts at great length,
mid that be was of opinion that no ease had bees made out
for the isderforones of the court, sad consequently the mo-
tion for an injunction must be dismissed, and that with
mete. The costs. however, to be costs in the muse.
Judgment accordingly.

SIR JOHN GLADSTONE, MIL OLADSTONI
AND MR. CARDWELL.

•
"Liverpool a Few Yaws Since.")
It wo=s grange picture of Liverpool a few
years since whisk did not exhibit Mr. (afterwards Sir) John
Gladstone is the foreground of the canvass. He had is
those early dap already taken his position, and wee
evidently destined to play a conspicuous part in this
busy world. We aever remember to have met with a
man who possessed so inexhaustible a fund of that most
modal of all useful qualities, good common sense. It was
saver at fault, never belled. His shrewdness as • man
of Wiser was proverbial. His sagacity in all matters
111111MsMsd with commerce was only
not prophetic.' He
sthlthil to take the whole map of the world into his mind
SS a= and almost by intuition to discover, not
wore the best markets for today, but where
Won tossill be the best opening to-morrow. What was
gposoldist with others was calculation with him. The
WM% wlilhs from time to time, through a long aeries
tirMes MUMS forth, like so many signal-rockets, to the
MINK =dor the signature of Mercator, were
rool7jogem SI 1111111110ke by • portion of the public.
And time ft deabt that is authority was often
sought sad sated nem, in commercial legislation by the
different adadoilloarieme by which the country hasbeen
governed daring the last half century We recollect,
many years age, stealing under the gallery of the Hovee
of Commons with the late Mr. Huskisoon. A sugar ques-
tion was under discussion, and Mr. Gonlburn was hammer-
ing and stammering through a string of karts and
details which, it was dear, he did not comprehend him-
self, and which he was in vela labouring to make the
House comprehend. Mr. Muldoon smiled, as he quietly
observed, " Goulburn has got his facts, ud figures, and
statistics from Mr. Gladstone, and they are all as correct
and right as possible, but he does not understand them, and
will make • regular hash of it."' Mr. Gladstone was
himself in parliament for some years, and was always
listened to most respectfully on mercantile affairs. If he
did not make any very distinguished figure, it was because
he did not eater upon public life until he had reached an
age at which men's habits are formed, and at which they
rather covet • seat in the House of Commons as a feather
or crowning honour of their fortunes, than as an admission
into as arena in which they intend to become
gladiators in the strife and to plunge Into all the
toils, and intrigues, and bustle of statesmanship. Had
our clever townsman entered parliament at an earlier
period, and devoted himself to it, we have no doubt that
he would have been found a match for the best of them,
and might have risen to the highest departments of the
government. His name is well represented amongst us
still. He left four sons behind him, one of whom, the
Right Honourable William Heart Gladstone, is second
to no statesman of the day, either in promise or perform-
ance, eloquence or &Inbar'. Mr. Gladstone lived in
Rodney-street, in a house subsequently taken by Mr.
Cardwell, the father of our clever and gifted representative.
So that, by • remarkable coincidence, Mr. W. B. Gladstone
sad Mr. Cardwell, severally the best men of their standing,
list at the university, and now in the list of statesmen, are
sot only from the same county of Lancaster, which pro-
duces so large a proportion of the able men in every proles.
don, but from the same town, and the same street in the
same town, and the same house in the same street. Did
ever horse so carry double, and with two such illustrious
riders, before ?
