r corded: 2fr. Cox is just 42 years of age, and already he
has, by his own ex.3rtions, unaided by any patron or
purse, established himself in two largo profession's, first
es an attorney, then as a barrister. Ho published twovolumes and te'o magezines before was 21. 'Before
he w-s 30, he hail add, dto these enterprises a popular
newspaper. Diving the last ten years of his li2e he has
established four juurnuls, all of which are now fl ,urish-
ing, and two of which he personally cundacts. He has
written twelve volumes of law books; and his journals
now number together no less than twenty-four volumes.
Daring the same period, he has founded three extensive
puhlic companies, now fl )nrishing; one of which was an
invention of his own, and over which he presides, and
yet withal every v:e..ition has been occupied in foreign
travel,—he having, during the same period, visited
almost every country in Europe, and made acquaintance
with the social and political institutions of their inha-
bitants.
" Ilis establishment is immense, even for London. Up-
wards of 2.50 persons are engaged upon its various de-
partments; upwards of ten thousand acccuuts are kept
there; and the magnitude of the transactions may be
judged by the fact that the postage-stamps alone exceed
4001. par annum, showing a correspondence of nearly
one hundred thousand letters in a year."

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The present week's arrival of English Wheat, coast-
wise, has been confined to only 2.350 quarters, mostly
from Essex, Kent, and .Lincolnsbire. Fresh up to-day
the receipt: by land carriage were limited; hence, the
show of samples of both red and white was small. There
were very few large buyers in attendance; nevertheless
the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce
ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on
Monday, and a good clearance was eff, cted. Rather
over 13,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in,
Selected qualities were in moderate request, at full rates
of currency. In low kinds very little was doing,
at late rates. Floating cargoes of Wheat were
very dull, but Indian Corn was 6d to is dearer.
The show of English Barley was small, that of foreign
moderate. Malting parcels sold freely; other kinds
slowly at late rates. No change took place in the value
of Malt. The show of samples was tolerably good. The
imports of foreign Oats having exceeded 40,000 quarters
the Oat trade was dull, and prices were 6d to Is per
quarter lower than last week. Beans and Peas coca-
mended very little attention; but. Flour moved offsteadily
at full currencies.

It was not enough that the sum required in the
purchase of a single patent, for England exclusively,
should have been reduced by the 14th and
15th Vic., c. 82, from 941. Gs. altogether, namely,
711. 1 ls. Bd. for public, and 221. 143. 4d. for private
appropriation, to 761. Gs. in the aggregate, or
541. 19s. 23. for public, and 211. 6s. 10d. for pri-
vate appropriation. More than this was re-
quired, in the way of emendation to the old
system, from the two Houses of the Imperial Legis-
lature. The process, moreover, needed a further
diminution than that of a single stage. It was manifest
from the moment the Act of last session was
passed that it was insufficient in every respect
as a means of decreasing the expense incurred
and of abbreviating the time consumed in the process
of obtaining a patent for England alone. Consider-
able excuse, however, may be made for even this
glaring inadequacy in the measure, for it must not
be forgotten that the Bill was hurriedly compiled,
hurriedly introduced to Parliament, and hurriedly
passed through both Houses as a legislative pre-
liminary to the opening of the Great Industrial Ex-
hibition. It was intended that the enactment
should afford facilities in the way of obtaining
security to those inventors who might other-
wise dread the injuries of piracy on the dis-
play of their respective contrivances. A most
erroneous calculation assuredly—seeing that the
intended boon only reduced the stages gone through,
in the way to the final enrolment or the patent for
England, from "seven" to "six," diminishing the
sum of money expended in its purchase, as we have
already intimated by the insignificant amount of
181. sterling ! In consequence of this mistaken view
of the value of the patent law improvements of last
session, it was found necessary to introduce a Bill for
a somewhat more rational, because somewhat more
comprehensive amendment--a Bill which, after
being read a second time in the House of Commons
yesterday, was quietly interred in that receptacle of
things prematurely deceased, the respectable " tomb
of the CAPULETS," or, what comes to the same thing,
was banded over to the mercies of a Select Committee,
which, supposing even that it be actually called into
existence, can only survive long enough to be just
aware of its own in the general Parliamentary disso-
lution. Fur the amendment of the patent laws, there-
fore, we must look, as for so many other legislative
improvements, to the fortunate candidates soon to be
returned as the newly-elected representatives.

RETURN OF THE COURT TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE
FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT.—(THIS DAY.)—Her Majesty
and Prince Albert, accompanied by their seven illustrious
children, and attended by Viscountess Jocelyn, Lady in
Waiting; the Hon. Mary Seymour Maid of Honour, Lord
Charles Lennox Fitzroy, Equerry ; 'Colonel Myddleton Bid-
dulph, Master of the Household, and their usual domestic
retinue, left Osborne-house, Isle of Wight, this morning at
eleven o'clock, and embarked on board the Fairy royal yacht,
commanded by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, followed by the
Elfin, for Gosport, and proceeded to town by special train
on the South-Western Railway to the Nine Elms station,
whence they were escorted to the Palace by an officer's party
of the,l3th Light Dragoons. Her Majesty will remain in
town until Monday the 7th June, when the Court will pro-
ceed to Windsor for Ascot races.

IMPROVEMENT AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND —The
governor and directors of the Bank of England have caused
a fountain to be constructed on a space of ground adjoining
the bank parlour, which will be in operation in the course of
a few days. The area on which it is situated was a vacant
site, but it will be converted into an ornamental garden,
which will be a considerable improvement to that part of
this extensive building. The basin to receive the water is
circular, and about 14 feet in diameter, It is formed of
Portland stone, and presents a very neat and chaste appear-
ance. The jet will be about 20 feet in height, the water
being supplied from an artesian well, sunk on the premises,
and which is forced by steam power into tanks on the roof
of the bank. The surplus water will then pass into the
sewer.

DIAMOND LUST. • -
(From Eliza Cook's _Journal)
He who possesses a susceptible heart. has an inex-
haustible mine of sweet emotions.
To form an opinion 'of, humannature from a perusal
of history,' it like judging Of a fihe city by its sewers
and cesspools.
Self-indulgence takes many forms, and we should bear
intaind that 'there may be a !iullen.sensality as well as
garotte: . - •

itidness pains more than cruelty when it is g
instead of love. •
Many men have the materials of happinesa:l4o4,
within their reach, but not one in ten knows how to ma-.
nnfaoture anything oat of them except ennui.
A presentiment of coining gladness is the summit of
terrestrial felicity.
Love can excuse anything except meanness, but mean-
ness Mils lOve and cripples even natural affection.

IMPROVEMENT AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND —The
governor and directors of the Bank of England have caused
a fountain to be constructed on a space of ground adjoining
the bank parlour, which will Le in operation in the course of
a few days. The area on whichit is situated was a vacant
site, but it will be converted into an ornamental garden,
which will be a considerable improvement to that part of
this extensive building. The basin to receive the water is
circular, and about 14 feet in diameter, It is formed of
Portland stone, and presents a very neat and chaste appear-
ance. The jet will be about 20 feet in height, the water
being supplied from an artesian well, sunk on the premises,
and which is forced by steam power into tanks on the roof
of the bank. The surplus water will then pass into the
sewer.

course that can be followed if the object happens to
be a lengthened and indefinite postponement. A
series of questions and answers as apparently exhaust-
ing and inexhaustible as a book of conundrums, is
indulged in by the more indefatigable Members
sitting on this Select Committee, and generally about
the tail of the session, when further progress in the
Bill (the course of which has been uninterrupted) is
altogether impracticable, a report is brought
up by the Chairman such as ultimately appears
on the table of the House in the agreeable shape of a
blue book, numbering some ten or twelve hundred
pages, and weighing somewhere about three or four
pounds some odd ounces avoirdupois. When, how-
ever, it so happens, as in the present instance, that
the matter under discussion is referred to
a Select Committee at a time when the country is on
the eve of witnessing a dissolution of the existing
Parliament, the hopeless abandonment of the
question implicated becomes, we conceive, still
more painfully apparent. Yet, while lament-
ing the procrastination consequent upon the
proceedings last night in the House of Commons in
reference to the Bill for Patent Law Amendment,
we would not, on any account, advocate in a
matter of such peculiar intricacy anything at all
approximating to precipitate legislation. The mea-
sure, which it is desired should be enlarged and other-
wise improved in application by the Bill read a
second time only yesterday, has been found, without
doubt, altogether inadequate to grapple with
the difficulties it was intended to dissipate.
Therefore, of course, it was only judicious
that some more energetic effort should be
made to secure the rights of inventors, and in so
doing to render the protection extended by the
Legislature in every respect cheaper and more ac-
cessible.

in Vienna that some of the first men in the empire
have plied for it to the-Governor of the city in vain.
It is evidently the intention of Government that the
work should disappear Without laving any trace be-
hind it. The principal reason why the book is "so
stricily prohibited is, that-the author round!y asserts
that the Hungarians-were. on legal ground up to

force of the Conservative party. The Radical party
in the Grand Council was becoming more and more

METROPOLITAN POLICE.

Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE wished to ask the Se-
cretary of State, by what authority a portion of the K
division of the metropolitan police were ordered, on the
sth and 12th instant, to attend divine service
in St. Thomas's Church, Stepney, and in de-
fault of so doing were subjected to military drill.—
(Hear.) In order that the House might understand
the question he would state a few facts. On Wednes-
day, the 7th of April, an order was sent down requiring
the police division he had referred, to attend divine
service at a Protestant church, or to submit
to an extra drill. About one hundred of the
men, after Express'ag their surprise at the
order, preferred going to church, but thirty-eight of them
were Roman Catholics, and they elected to undergo the
drill. On the following Wednesday a similar order
came down, when thirty-eight preferred the drill to the
church.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE said the facts were not correctly
stated; no order had been given for a compulsory
attendance at divine service, but as many of the
men were unable to attend divine service on the
Sunday, they were allowed time to do so on Wed-
nesday, which was their pay day. Some of
the men accepted the offer, while others
declined it, and in order that they might not be idling
about during the half hour that they were required to
be in attendance on a Wednesday, they had to go
through a drill, which they would otherwise have to go
through on another occdsion.
BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.
Mr. HEADLAM wished to ask the Secretary to the
Treasury why the account from the trustees of the Bir-
kenhead Docks, pursuant to an Act of the Bth Vic., di-
rected by an order of this House, bearing date the 29th
day of July, 1851, and again directed by another order
of this House, bearing date the 26th day of April, 1h52,
had not been laid before the House, and moved that it be
made forthwith.

Mr. HAMILTON said the Treasury had nothing to
do with those docks, but he had been informed by the
secretary, of the company that the reason why the ac-
counts had not been made up was that the books had
been sent to London to undergo an investigation before
a committee of inquiry.

GERMANY.

The Empress of Russia,whoarrived at Potsdam
on Saturday last, is in a very weak state, hardly able
to rise from her couch. Her eyesight suffers very
much, one eye being very nearly lost. Altogether
her vital functions are at a very low pitch, and kept
from stagnation chiefly by medical stimulants. She
has at length decided on taking the waters of Se.hlan-
genbad, on the banks of the chine. She will make
a long stay in Germany, during which she will visit
the Grand Duke and Duchess of WEiman, with
whom she will pass the Whitsuntide. The GRIND
DUCHESS, who is the sistr-in•law of the EMPRESS,
has long suffered from a disease of the heart. She
is now labouring under an attack of ophthalmia, and
is subject to long fainting fits, whieh at times cause
great alarm to her family. A circular dispatch has
been sent to all the Russian diplomatic agents in Ger-
many to inform the princely houses and the ministers
of all the states of the confederation, that the Em-
rims will have no receptions, the state of her health
requiring the most absolute rep-s 3. There will be
only a few exception; to this rule in favour of those
houses to which she is related.
