TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Nlre like the spirit of " Nemo's" paper, but the plan is too
visionary for a newspaper. His two main propositions
on the last page but one, illustrated and proved, might be
useful, but the long introduction is inadmissible.
0' Novus."—We cannot find room for a series of such specu-
lative articles as you propose. General dissertations on
parties are not very acceptable at any time, and at present
would only be misplaced in our columns.
The communications of both our Correspondents are left in
the office for them.

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 11, 1838.

Sergeant TALFOURD'S Copyright Bill seems to have oc-
casioned: some stir among the trades dependent on lite-
rature. The Booksellers, Printers, and Bookbinders, are
up in arms against it, holding meetings, and getting up pe-
titions to Parliament, with a view to defeat it. The News-
paper Press is also beginning to move, and is taking dif-
ferent sides in the question. We do not mean to stand
neuter, neither is it our intention to follow the example of
some of our Contemporaries, who have rushed into the
contest with the unreasoning vehemence of heated parti-
sans. We think the opponents of the Bill are wrong, but
we are open to conviction, and in discussing the subject
shall employ no language but that of respect for those
who differ from us.

The object of the Bill, it is admitted on all hands,
is to give greater security to literary property, by
extending copyright sixty years beyond the term for
which the law, as it stands at present, allows it
to be held. This may be called the principle of
the measure. It is urged by Sergeant TALFOURD, and the
promoters of the Bill, that this extension is no more than
authors are entitled to, to enable them to reap the full
benefit of their labours ; while by the petitioners it is
characterised as unjust in itself, injurious to their parti-
cular interests, and highly detrimental to those of the
public. Now, as all other property is protected from in-
vasion, and so secured to the owner by law that no
one can deprive him of it, and that he can
transmit it to those who come after him with a like right
of inviolability attached to it, the onus lies uron the
objectors in this case to show that literary property is dif-
ferent from all other kinds of property—that there is some-
thing in its nature which takes it out of the class of things
that properly belong to a man, and therefore out of the
protection of law—that books in short are, as it were, Jena
nohow, or became so after a certain period of domestication,
and therefore belong. to nobody, or anybody. This, we
say, it is incumbent on the opponents of Mr. Serjeant
TALFOURD'S Bill, to prove before they are entitled to step
in and say to the Legislature " do not grant the protection
deman led." But this is what they have not done, nor, as far
as we are aware, have even attempted to do. Is the work of
the brain less worthy or less entitled to protection than
the work of the hands ? Is not the produce of the intellect
as much a man's own as anything can possibly be ? Nay, is
it not more so than any of those things which the law has
fenced round with so many safeguards ? Take, for ex-
ample, the case of a manufacturer, a tradesman,
or any other person engaged in the ordinary pursuits of
active life, in which wealth is acquired. Such a person by
industry and perseverance, realizes a fortune ; but how-
ever industrious or persevering he may be, he can do no-
thing without the assistance of others. He employs the hands
of multitudes whose labours contribute to the successful result.
But the author is indebted to no extraneous aid for the
work which lie produces. He builds with no man's sinews—
spins with no man's fingers. What he executes is exe-
cuted by himself alone—by the dedication of his time, and
of those mental endowments which he has laboriously,
and often expensively cultivated, to objects from which
he expects a reward for his toil. If any man, therefore,
has a right to say emphatically " this is mine," it is• the
author of a book. Why, then, should he be debarred from
that protection in the enjoyment of this right whi h is
given to all other men ? Let the opponents of the pro-
posed measure answer this question. We shall return to
this subject soon, and shall then consider the objections
which have been made to the details of the Bill.

In another part of The Sun will be found a few fine ex-
amples of the oppression to which the Church-rate, or,
more properly speaking, the conscience-tax, gives rise. In
one case in the town of Dudley, property to the amount of
41. 10s. was carried off for a rate of 2s. Id. ! In another
case, at Barnsley, the goodi of a member of the Society of
Friends were seized under circumstances, which, to say
nothing of the brutality of the Church authorities, render
the seizure illegal. We trust the law will be resorted to
for redress. The sufferer in this instance has some comfort
before him in the issue of the Hillsby affair, communicated
by " A Constant Reader," in which the ecclesiastical swag-
gerer was compelled to eat humble pie, thanking the Dis-
senting Minister, whom he had wronged, for his forbear-
ance in letting him off on paying the costs of the suit and
giving 101. to the poor.

The Standard of last night does not deny that the fabri-
cation of Mr. O'CONNELL'S evidence, as we said the day
before yesterday, originated in its own columns. It
stands convicted, therefore, of having, by false evi-
dence, wilfully endeavoured to take away Mr. O'CON-
NELL'S character. Its own practices now convince us that
it has accused the Catholics of perjury so repeatedly and
so recklessly, from considering that as a very light offence.
There wants nothing but a mere form of words to make
the false testimony so frequently borne by our Contempo-
rary against Mr. O'CONNELL, and against the Catholics
generally, amount to the very crime with which the Stan-
dard falsely accuses the Catholic legislators. The malignity
of its motives is plain. They may at least fancy that they
are promoting the public welfare ; but even the Standard,
fond as it is of reasoning itself into wrong, cannot falla-
ciously assume that to stir up sectarian animosities and fill
the hearts of its fellow-subjects with blind and bigotted re-
ligious hatred, is for the good of the community. These
vile calumnies proceeding from religious malignity
recommend it to kindred minds, and the charity, intelli-
gence, and patriotism of the Tory gentry and clergy of
England may be measured by the readiness with which
they believe stupid fabrications, and the encouragement
'lcy give to those who keep alive in the land animo-
`Ts and heart-burnings. The deceiver and the deceived
worthy of each other. They pretend to treat the
s with sovereign contempt, and look down on every
!paper writer as beneath their notice, and for this they
)roperly punished by being duped by its lies. Oh ! it

is to us a pleasant spectacle to see the renowned Peers and
Prelates, and the so-called Ministers of Peace,who have been
labouring zealously year after year, in Parliament and at
public meetings, to keep alive sectarian animosity, and to
deprive their fellow subjects of their liberties and rights,
who do not happen to agree with them as to the precise in-
terpretation to be put upon some verse of some chapter of
a book, the original language of which neither of them
understand—it is, we say, a pleasant spectacle, to see the
whole tribe of ultra-Protestant Pharisees, headed by the
Bishop of EXETER and the Earl of WINCHILSEA, flounder-
ing before the public with the hook of the fabricating
Standard in their nostrils.

'e will not repeat Mr. POULTER'S assertion that the
Shaftesbury Committee was the most corrupt that ever
disgraced the administration of justice ; but we can
assert that it performed things which no other Com-
mittee ever performed. For example, there was
such great treating in the borough that the Committee
made a special report concerning it ; that treat-
ing was all on the side of the Tories ; the publicans
who supplied the materials were liberally paid ;
and the checks which paid them were traced to the
banker of the petitioning candidate, who is now the
sitting Member. For the Committee under such circum-
stances not to have declared the election void is unexampled.
Had any Liberal Committee come to such an unusual deci-
sion, we may imagine the terrible uproar the Tory journals
would have made on the subject, by what they have said
on the pains-taking Roxburgh Committee. It has, how-
ever, we believe, ever been the case that the greatest
rogues have always been the loudest in publicly denouncing
roguery.

By the arrival at Liverpool on Monday night of the
packet ship Orpheus, we have received New York Papers
to the 20th ult.—the date of the last arrivals from the
United States. They bring a mass of interesting, but
anticipated news, from the Canadas. The Montreal
Gazette of the Bth contains a despatch from Colonel
TOWNSHEND to the Hon. Colonel MAITLAND, dated
Amhertsburg, Feb. 23, giving an account of the precipitate
flight of the rebels from Fighting Island—their last head-
quarters on the Canadian frontier. The Gallant Colonel's
account of the retreat of the rebels, who fled helter-skelter
the moment they saw the red-coats venture upon the ice, is
very graphic :

" The flight of the rebels was most precipitate, leaving
behind them one gun, which was only discharged once, various
arms, rifles, muskets, pistols, swords, and provisions of every
kind, together with powder, shot, and other munitions. I beg
to observe of the muskets, that they were of the United States
army, and perfectly new, not having been fired, and apparently
just taken out of the boxes which were found in their camp.
Of the provisions too I must add, that they were in many cases
of a quality different to what would be furnished for the use of
troops, consisting of crackers in barrels, boxes of smoked her-
rings, &c., and such as would have been contributed by a
sympathizing public rather than by a commissariat."
The Hon. Colonel MAITLAND, in a dispatch of the
same date, to Colonel FOSTER, complains that the run-
away heroes from Fighting Island were permitted to form
on the American shore, and fire upon the QUEEN'S troops.
He further states that the bulk of them were American
citizens, armed with muskets, marked with the stamp of
the Federal Government. " Whatever," says this officer,
" may be the professed desire to preserve the neutrality
between Great Britain and the United States, or the orders
given for enforcing it, my opinion is, that the conduct of
the authorities in this instance partakes more of connivance
at the outrages daily practised under their own eyes, than
of the smallest effort to prevent those occurrences so much
to be complained of." Such language from an officer who
is himself an eye-witness of the conduct which he censures
is likely to make a very deep and very painful impression
upon the public mind. In fairness to those distinguished
functionaries of the United States, who have exerted them-
selves in a spirit of good faith and good feeling to preserve
the neutrality of the Federal Government, charges of a
sweeepingly general kind ought to be carefully avoided on
the part of British subjects. They must from their very
nature be in nine cases out of ten erroneous ; they affect not
those obnox!ousto the censure implied in them ; and they are
sure to be resented as wrongs by the brave, the generous,
and the enlightened of every country.
We arc perhaps making more of these dispatches than
they really deserve. The parts of them that will be longest
remembered are those describing the flight of the rebels,
leaving behind them in their hurry—not their arms, for
these they did not want, being too nervous to endure the
smell of burnt gunpowder—but the crackers and smoked
herrings.

But the most remarkable document communicated to us
from the Canadas is the farewell address of that most
sapient of Governors, Sir FRANCIS BOND HEAD, to the
Legislature of the Upper Province, delivered viva voce
from the Throne on the 6th ult., in the form of
a Speech, for the prorogation of that body. It
is well for us that the American Executive rightly
understand the character of the ex-Governor, and the
minimum degree of influence which he possesses with the
British Cabinet ; otherwise, he would be sure to provoke
a war, by his repeated blunders, between England and the
United States. But whatever political character Sir
FRANCIS B. HEAD may have had, he is now known in both
hemispheres as " a dreamer of dreams"—as a bubbleist,
whose judgment is controuled by his fancy. We cannot
find room for this address, which, in the main, heirs as
much relation to the question of the prorogation of the
provincial Legislature as do the adventures cf Sinbad the
Sailor ; but we must, in justice to ourselves, make an ex-
tract or two from it, to show the spirit in which it is con-
ceived. The following occurs in the first paragraph :

" It is much to be lamented that at a moment when thn
disturbed state of Lower Canada, and the depression of com-
merce occasioned by it, must tend materially to diminish our
revenue, the necessity for new charges should be created to
an inconvenient extent, by the unexpected hostility of our allies,
which has forced us, for a continued length of time, into a state
of actual warfare along the whole extent of our frontier."
Such language as this might pass well in the columns of
a newspaper ; but the merest tyro in the science of Govern-
ment must see the madness of its employment by the Re-
presentative of a Sovereign in speaking of a people with
whom we are not disposed to go to war. Besides it is
most unwarrantable to denominate a band of ruffians de-
nounced as robbers by the Government of the United
States as " our allies," unless it is intended to charge the
Federal Government with being privy to their violations of
our territory. In the name of the Government and people
of England we protest against such expressions as ground-
less in their insinuations, and as calculated to disturb the
friendly relations between Great Britain and the United
States. The following passage is still more remarkable :
" It has been very strongly argued, even in England, that De-
mocracy was the only form of Government indigenous to the
soil of America, and that Monarchy was a power which re-
quired here artificial support.
" With a few to subvert this theory the whole of the Queen's
troops were allowed to retire fron the province, and the result,
as had been anticipated, was that the people of Upper
Canada were no sooner left uncontrolled than the proclaimed
themselves in favour of Monarchical institutions. Surrounded
by temptations on almost every side, they indignantly rejected
them all ; in a few hours they successfully put down insur-
rection in their own land, and when -American citizens,
astonished and disappointed at their loyalty, determined to
force them to become Republicans, people of all religions and
of all politics rushed to the frontier, to die in defence of their
glorious Constitution."

We have here the cream of the ex-Governor's policy.
To subvert the ROEBUCKIAN theory in Parliament, the
gallant author of the " Bubbles" perilled the lives of thou-
sands of her MAJESTY'S peaceable and contented subjects
—permitted treason to rear its standard at the very gates
of Toronto—and all but involved England in a long and
bloody war with the greatest republic in the world. What
a price to pay for the subversion of a theory which com-
manded some four votes in the House of Commons !—a
theory which Sir FRANCIS BOND HEAD was not called
upon to trouble his brains about. His duty was to have
maintained peace, not to provoke insurrection, under any
pretext, or for any purpose whatever.

The next extract is the last which we shall inflict upon
the patience of our readers. Sir FRANCIS BOND HEAD
went out to Canada a" Whig, and something more," and
he returns a Tory. It is true we have his own disclaimer
of such a charge, with a declaration that he belongs to no
party ; and it is possible, mot cover, that in appearing in
the ranks of any party, he would be rather tolerated than
trusted. But the following looks very like a renunciation
of liberal principles :

" The people of England will, I trust, not fail to admire the
calmness, the resolution, the generosity, and the honourable
subjection to their laws which have distinguished the inhabi-
tants of Upper Canada; and, on the other hand, they certainly
cannot fail to observe that the Republican project of our
English Reformers, namely, to make the people bit by bit re-

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1838

sponsible only to themselves, has ended in America by the Go-
vernment of the United States confessing its total inability to
restrain the passions of its citizens, to guard its State arsenals,
or to maintain its treaties with its oldest and most natural ally.
" With this experience before our eyes, I must confess I
join with the Legislature and people of Upper Canada in
shuddering at the abused name of Reform,' just as we now
recoil with abhorrence when we hear suddenly pronounced
the word:' sympathy.'
"As my successor is hourly expected here, I return to the
mother country as I left it, totally unconnected with party or
with politics; but in retirement I shall remember some of the
lessons which the people of Upper Canada have taught me ;
and I feel it my duty to declare that I leave the continent of
America with my judgment perfectly convinced that the inhabi-
tants of Europe, Asia, and Africa are right in their opinion,
that all men are not by nature equal, that the assertion of the
contrary in America is a fallacy, and that talent, industry, and
character, must elevate individuals, as they do nations, in the
graduated scale of society."
We have now done with Sir FRANCIS BOND HEAD,
and we are, in truth, not sorry for it. We believe after
his exploits in Canada no Government will ever again
dream of trusting him with the protection of the lives and
fortunes of any portion of her MAJESTY'S subjects. We
charge him with no crime but what in a Governor
is the greatest of all offences—want of capacity. In
his private relations he is an estimable, worthy per-
son ; but he is as unconscious of all knowledge of the
principles of practical Government as the most juvenile
member of his household. As to his gratuitous opinions
about the non-equality of mankind, all we shall say is, that
Europe, Africa, and Asia must feel excessively flattered by
the compliment Sir FRANCIS BOND HEAD so very hand-
somely pays them in condescending to corroborate their
testimony upon a point of such vital importance to their
common welfare.
The affair of the steamer " Caroline" has been made the
subject of some unimportant communications between the
English Ambassador at Washington and the Federal Go-
vernment. No adjustment of the question has yet taken
place.

We have received a copy of the Barbadian and St.Luei.,
Gazette of the 7th of Februray ; the former of which
contains a correspondence between the Governor, Colonel
BUNBURY, and the Chief-Justice of the Island, upon
which we shall to-morrow make a few observations. The
subject is an important one to the colonists generally.

The Paris Journals of Monday have all been received,
but their contents are uninteresting. It was reported that
Marshal MOLITOR was named as Ambassador to the
Court of Spain. It was likewise rumoured that M.
AGUADO had sent a courier to Madrid to apprise Count
WALLA and his colleagues that he declined the acceptance
of the New Loan ; but we have not been able to ascertain
if this rumour be e,)rrect. The following are extracts from
the Journals :

The Journal of Smyrna of the 17th March announces the
death of M. Fanvel, formerly French Consul, on the 12th of
that month, at the age of 85 years. The interment took
place on the following day, with the pomp due to his rank.
During 40 years' residence in Greece he had devoted great at-
tention to the remains of the monuments of that country, and
had collected a great mass of materials on the subject ; unfor-
tunately he has never published any thing. He often confided
to travellers notes of which he had no copies, and this added to
the loss of some MSS., during the troubles in Greece, have
rendered it impossible for him to publish the results of his long
and laborious researches. He had a collection of medals arid
plaster casts of Greek antiquities, of which he personally
took moulds himself. He had intended, towards the end Of
his life, to sell them, for his inexhaustible liberality did not
allow him to acquire any fortune. The collection will doubtless
be:placed at the disposal of the Government—Journal des
Debats.

The following letter has been received at Lloyd's, dated Trieste;
March 31, 1838:

" Sir—l beg leave to transmit you the information copied at foot,
which I have this day received from her Majesty's Consul-General, Sir
Thomas Sorel], and remain, respectfully, '• G. MOORE, Agent.
" With a view of making more generally known to merchants and
shipowners interested in the trade at the Austrian porta on the Adriatic,
a regulation which has a tendency to mitigate the effects of the sanitory
laws in force in these States, I beg to acquaint you that vessels bound
to Trieste, Venice, and Fiume, coming from, or having touched at any
place which subjects them to quarantine in an Austrian port, will, by
taking on board on their way up the Adriatic a health guardian from
the lazaretto at Ragusa, have their quarantine, after arriving at the
port of their destination, shortened by the number of days such health
officer may have been in the vessel; or, in other words, the term of
their quarantine will be calculated from the time he may have come on
board. This privilege does not, however, extend to vessels bringing
susceptible goods, which by the established regulations are to be landed,
and undergo a purification in the warehouses of a lazaretto. It may be
altogether useless to add, that vessels touching at Gibraltar, on their
way to an Austrian port, are thereby subjected to a quarantine of obser-
vation of seven days.
