APPROPRIATE SlGN.—Over the door of a public house
in Liverpool is a representation of two donkeys with
their beads in close contiguity, with the motto under-
neath, " When shall we three meet again."
Professor Drake, the Berlin sculptor, has invented a
process to protect marble against all damaging influence
of the weather. A liquid is employed which the marble
imbibes without hurt to its appearance. The process has
been successful in several trials, but is kept hitherto a
secret by its inventor.—Literary Gazette.
A BLUEBEARD.—The following order, verbatim et litera-
tim, was received by an undertaker in the Bowery, New
York, from au afflicted widower residing in Pearl-street:
Sur, my Waif is ded, and Wonts to be berried to-
morrow, At wonnur kl'k. U nose wair to dig the Hole
—bi the sAd of mi too Uther waifs—Let it be deep !"
ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—We understand that an expe-
dition will be prepared forthwith, to proceed in search of
further traces of Sir John Franklin's party, via Behring's
Straits. The comma d will, it is said, be conferred upon
Captain George 11. Richards, who has rendered such
good service in previous Arctic searches, and who, upon
many accounts, is viewed as the most fitting officer to
command the expedition.
SIR FITZROY KELLY AND THE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
DEMONSTLLATION.—Mr. Andrew, one of the honorary
secretaries of the Manches',er committee, has received the
following letter from Sir Fitzroy Kelly, whose great
experience in criminal matters eminently qualifies him to
speak with authority on this subject :—" 147, Piccadilly,
7th Novemh r, 1856.—Dear Sir,—l very much regret that
public and professional business render it impossible for me
to attend your meeting. I need not say that you have my
best wishes, and may always command my best efforts.—l
remain, truly yours, Fitzroy Kelly."
NEw INDIAN BISHOPRICS.—A scheme is on foot for the
erection of a bishopric in Southern India, the seat of which
shall be in Tinnevelly, to be formed out of the present
diocese of Madras. The Church Missionary Society and
the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel have clergy-
men there, and extraordinary accounts are constantly being
published of the immense number of conversions of natives
which take place. Many of these natives, after having
gone through the necessary training, have been ordained
clergymen of the Church of England, and have preaching
stations allotted to them. In the Tinnevelly circle there
are 140 towns and villages. Arrangements are also in
progress for subdividing the immense diocese of Calcutta,
Dr. Wilson, the present occupant of the see, having
strongly pressed the immediate necessity of such a course
upon the attention of the Government at home.—Morning
Herald.

OPERATION OF THE IS T TONNAGE Tax . —The
Panama Herald, October 19, says :—" Although the
legality of the lately instituted Tonnage Tax is a question
still unsettled, and notwithstanding the decided stand taken
by the United States Government upon the subj et, Gov.
Calvo succeeded yesterday in compelling the resident clerk
of the British Pacific Steam Navigation Company to pay
69 dols 60c before the steamer Bolivia was permitted to sail
with the semi-monthly mail for the South Coast. The
amount was paid under protest, and we presume that is the
last that will be heard about it, and English shipowners
will continue to be taxed and imposed upon until, perhaps,
fifty years hence, that cumbersome piece of machinery known
in England as the Foreign Office will suddenly awaken to
the conviction that the tax is illegal, and solemnly notify
New Granada of the conclusion it has arrived at. The
Clarendon or Palmerston who will do his country this
justice is still, we presume, in petticoats, and we may
console ourselves with the reflection that our children's
children may see the matter settled. In the meantime, we
congratulate Governor Calvo upon his triumph in Panama,
and lrve he may have as easy a time in collecting the
Tonnage Tax from the United States mail steamers here as
the English vessels in. Colon."
COPYRIGHT IN BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.—A Toronto
correspondent states that the Canadian courts of law are
about to be resorted i s, to try the question of the validity of
the copyright of " Dred," which Mrs. H. B. Stowe sold to
her English publishers, and which has been reprinted
without leave or license by two publishers in Canada, who
have sold large editions of it. Mrs. Stowe, it appears, is
of opinion that the copyright extends to the British colonies,
and has, therefore, appointed an agent to proceed against'
the Canadian publishers. " Influenced, it is said, by a
decision of the House of Lords a few yearn since respecting
an opera of l3ellini's, Mrs. Stowe went to England, and
wrote the last chapters of her work there, with a special
preface for the English editii,n. Dred,' however, was
issued almost simultaneously in England and the States,
but the prefaces are quite different, and it was from the
American edition our Canadian publishers copied. The
question, therefore, arises, have they infringed on the
Eugiish copyright or not' It has been decided here that
an English patent of invention does not extend to Canada,
because we have a patent law of our owe, sanctioned and
y
recognised by Imperial authority. Reasoning b
analogy,
it might be said that the same principle applied to our
copyright law. It doe's not do so, however, for the
statute at present existing with respect to copyleas
been Imperial
t extends
to every part of the British dominions, and this statute
been recognised by our own legislatu' a
re. The impression
here seems to be that Mrs. Stowe cannot interfere with our
publishers, since they copied from the American edition,
and that the English publishers will probably mulct her for
not postponing the issue of the American edition, so that it
should not interfere with their sale of the book in the
American British possessions. The New York edition is
expensive, about 7s. sterling, while the Canadian is 2s.
