SPANISH AMERICAN BOND-
HOLDERS.

The following correspondence has taken place between
the Chairman of the Committee of Spanish Arneric:zn
Bondholders and the Cousul•General of the Republic of
the Equator:— _

(Copy.)
" 13, Austinfriars, June 24, 1847.

" Sir,—The Committee of Spanish American Boni-
holders, verceivintz by the public journals that you have
received the appointment of Consul General of the Re-
public of the Equator, request the favour of your in
forming them whether you have received any instruc-
tions tram the Government of that republic, to enter into
communica ion with the committee in reference to the
adjustment of the foreign debt of that republic.
" I am. &c.,
(Signed) " G. R. RUBINSON, Chairman.
" W. P. Roberton, Esq., Consul-General of
tha Republic of the Equator."
" Equator►an Consulate-General, 10, Old
Jewry-chambers, June 29.
_ _

" Sir,—l have the honour to acknowltAge the receipt
or your letter of the 11th inst., requesting to know if the
Government of the republic which I serve has authorised
me to communicate with the committee in reference to
the adjustment of the Equatorian foreign debt.
"I beg to state in reply, that officially I have received
no such instruction ; but I think it right to inform yea
that his Excellency Din Vicente R. Roca, President of
the republic, has expressed in his communications to me
his desire to re-establish the credit of Equador in this
country. The civil wars and consequent dilapidation of
the public treasury previously to his accession to his
office kft the Government then, and I fear still leaves it,
without immediate means of carrying a satisf.ctory
arrangement with the bondholders into effect; but I am
persuaded that, the iwarnal peace of the country being
how assured, the Government will turn its serious atten-
tion to some early arrangement with the English bond
molders.

Ihe to take this opportunity of stating that I an
desired, in a di-patch which I received by last packt t
from Don Manuel Gomiz de la Torre, Minister of Equa-
(kr, to correct, publicly, a misapprehension which has
arisen that a term of two years had been fixed on fcr
'inverting the old Columbian into Equatorian Bonds in
Quito, after which time all claims would be wholly ex-
cluded. No measure of this or any other kind, tending
to invalidate the claims of the English bondholders has
emanated from the Equuturian Government.
" I have the honour, &c.,
(Signed) W. PARISH ROBERTSON.

of r3outh-American Bondholders."

present were Mr. G. Cooper (who presided), Dr. I'ar-
kin, Mr. James Rich, Mr. George Rich, &c. Mr. Long
r. ad an elaborate paper on the potato disease, which he
attriouted to the noxious influence of a comet on the
atmosphere of the earth. Ile also stated that the haulm
of the plant had been generally found to be first affected,
snd that the best preventive of disease was to cut off the
stalk, and recommended that this should be done in next
August. 1)r. Parkin contended that the disease was not
caused by the comet, and denied that it first appeared in
the haulm of the plant. He attributed the malady to
the existence of something deleterious in the atmos-
phere." Mr. Taylor read a paper to show the gr. at
superiority of wheat, as compared with potatoes, in point
of nutriment.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 2.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, Guildhall, before the LORD
CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.)
BEARD V. EGERTON AND OTHERS.
The Court was occupied the whole of the day in try-
ing this case, which was brought fur the infringement
of the patent for Daguerreotype, taken out in this coun-
try by Mr. Berry, and of which the plaintiff became
assignee.
Sir F Thesiger, Q.C. (with Mr. Robinson and Mr.
Webster), appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Watson,
Q.C. (with Mr. J Brown), for the de endant.
The invention called Daguerreotype is well known as
a means of producing pictures and likenesses by the
action of light, and it appeared from the evidence given
on the part of the plaintiff. that in the preparation of the
plates, before putting them into the camera obscura, it
is essential they should be exposed to the evaporation
of iodine, in order to produce the sensitive costing. It
iodine, however, is only used, the image from which the
representation is taken must be stationary, and the pro-
cess is, besides, very slow; and it has since been found a
great improvement to use iodine with chlorine or brie
mine, as it considerably increases the sensitiveness of
the coating and accelerates the process of taking the
likeness. In the specification to the patent the use of
iodine only is pointed out.
At the close of the plaintiff's case,
Mr. WATSON took several objections,
the principal of
which was, that the specification was inaccurate. The
patentee had stated various stages in the process, and had
accordingly divided the specification into various separate
parts. In the first of these parts acid was stated as
proper to be used for the cleaning of the plates, and
towards the end of that first part the following paragraph
occurs :—" When the plate is not intended for immediate
use or operation the acid may be used only twice upon
its surface after being exposed to heat. The first part of
the operation may be done at any time. This will allow
of a number of plates being kept prepared up to the last
slight operation. It is, however, considered indispen-
sable that just before the moment of using the plates in
the camera, or the reproducing the designs, to put at
least once more some acid on the plate, and to rub it
lightly with pounce as before stated." The evidence
showed. and indeed it was admitted, that if the acid

or rubbing were applied after the plates had received
the iodine, it A ould entirely destroy their efficacy ; and
therefore it was contend. d the specification was bad, as
a party could not follow out this part of the specification
as descrined. On the other side it was contended that
no ordinary person could be misled by the specification ;
as the only object of the first part was to get the plates
ready for the second part of the process, which related
to the exposing of the plates to the operation of iodine,
it could not be supposed that the acid was to be applied
after the iodine had been used.

His LORDSHIP, however, was of opinion that the
specification was in this respect, to say the least, am-
biguous. The public were not to be compelled to read
the whole of the specification, and then to reason on the
whole, when so read together. Here it was stated the
acid should be used just before the moment of repro-
ducing the designs. The time was cointed out so dis-
tinctly and emphatically, that the specification was cal-
culated to mislead, although probably it was not so in-
tended. Still it it left it in any doubt it was equally
objectionable. _

Mr. WATSON then submitted that the use of chlorine
and bromine in conjunction with iodine was not an in-
fringement of the patent; but
Ills LORDSHIP held otherwise.
Upon which Mr. WATSON declined addressing the
Jury;
And a verdict was then taken for the plaintiff on all
the i,-sues except the one raising the above obj, ction to
the specification, and on that the verdict was entered for
the defendants, leave being given to the plaintiff to move
thereon before the Court next term.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAA SIO.V-HOUSE.
Henry Smith wus charged with having committed
frauds.
John Thompson, tailor, of Wellington-place West,
East India Dock-road, said,.—On Thursday, the 24th of
June, the prisoner came to my shop, and said he be-
longed to the ship Kestrel, the property of Mr. Smith, of
Newcastle; that he aas chief officer of the vessel, which
was being repaired in Mr. Green's dock, Blackwell; that
he was recommended to me to get his outfit by several
customers of mine, and that be was going out in her
agsin a long voyage. He then gave me an order for the
usual outfit to the amount of about 701., said he would
write home for the money, and that he would draw 1001. I
asked him whether he was sure he could get it, to which
he replied, " Yes, it was all his own private money, and
he should have it on the following Tuesday, until which
time he would he shrill of cash." He asked me to let
him have a couple of sovereigns, and I accommodated
him. Next day he came and received 31. more from
me, and finally he get from me 101, all of which he pro-
misi- d to return to me on Tuesday, the 29rh of June. He
Loki me to have some of the clothes ready for him on
Monday, as he was going into the country on that day.
He elided on Monday to try on the clothes, but I had in
tile meantime discovered chat he was a regular cheat,
and, having asked him up stairs and said that I should be
under the necessity of giving bins into custody, he in-
stantly started up, jumped over the balusters of the stairs,
and escaped.

It was proved by one of the owners of the Kestrel
that the prisoner was not chief officer of that vessel, nor
at all employed in their service.
James Stetter, shopman to Messrs. Baldwin, of Corn-
hill, drapers and tailors, stated that on the 28th of June
the prisoner called at their shop, and ordered a suit of
uniform and other articles, stating at the same time that
he was first officer of the ;star
