NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, JULY 22.—Captain R. L. Warren, son
of Vice-Admiral Warren, of Portsmouth, is appointed
to the command of her Majesty's ship Trincomalee, 26, at
this port; she is a sister ship to the Amphitrite, and
will have the same armament, and a crew of 240 officers
and men.

A Court-martial was held this day on board the

Victory, for the trial of Dr. J. Caldwell, supernumerary
surgeon on board the Spiteful, charged by Commander
Meads with repeatedacts of drunkenness. After a careful
investigation of the facts, the charges were declared by
the Court to be fully proved, and they sentenced him to
be dismissed her Majesty's service. The case only
occupied two hours. The Court was an unusually full
one, and was composed of Rear-Admiral Parker, C. 8.,
President; Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K C. 8.;
Captain John Pascoe, of the Victory; Captain M. H.
Dixon, of the Caledonia; Captain Sir J. Stirling, Knt.,
of the Howe; Captain the Right Hon. Lord Adolphus

THE PATENT LAWS.—Attention at the ensuing
general election is sought to be called to the present op-
pressive nature on the poorer classes of the law of letters
patent. It is certainly high time some modification of
the law took place, as they act with great discourage-
ment to the inventive genius of the poor artizan from
whom very frequently emanates many a useful and import-
ant invention, which has only served to enrich his more
affluent employer, and frequently placing him in a worse
position than previously. The present exorbitant charges
for letters patent for the United Kingdom is 4001.,
whereas a 15 years patent in France may be had for 151,
and 4/. 3s. 4d. annually, in addition ; in Belgium and
Holland a ranch lower charge is made.
