THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

We understand that at the meeting on Saturday her Ma-
jesty's Commissioners examined into the report of the leak-
age of the roof, and after hearing Mr. Stephenson and Mr.
Cubitt on the subject, and communicating with Mr. Fox,
the contractor, they were of opinion that the leaking had
been greatly exaggerated, and her Majesty's Commissioners
requested Mr. Cubitt to prepare a report for the next meeting
of the Commissioners. In the mean time we may state
that but little doubt is felt that a week's fine weather would
enable the contractors to make the building perfectly
water-tight.
Messrs. Fox and Henderson have made a curious dis-
covery recently, which solves a mystery that had for a long
time puzzled them. Along a particular :row of columns in
the building there was observed to be a constant leakage
when rain fell, from some 'cause which could not be de-
tected. At last they were induced to examine the line of
drain-pipes which runs from column to column, and there
they discovered a nail-bag securely wedged in by some
mischievously-disposed] workman, and which by stopping
the current of water of course caused the columns to
overflow.
The returns of packages up to the close of last week
of loaded and
re-
ceived at the Crystal Palace are as follows :—From foreign
countries. 6,233 ; from the colonies, 767 ; from the Channel

The distinctive feature of this Company consists in the sufficiency
of ONE PAYMENT to cover an Assurance for the WHOLE OF
LIFE.

The first Is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re-
newal of premium.

Ily granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all
those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors
among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com-
pany are enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than
is offered by any existing Company.
Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his
death by railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa-
tives the full amount of his Policy.

If the accident shall result in"personal injury only, the Company
will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury.
Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and
on any railway in the United Kingdom.
The Directors are now granting assurances upon the following
terms, viz.:—

For every Policy of 100/. 0/. ss. 1 For every Policy of 1,0001. 21. 2s.
500/. 11. Os. 1 „ „ „ 2,000/. 41. 4s.

The POLICIES are INDISPUTAIiI.E, in terms of the Deed of
Settlement of the Company, duly registered, and are not, therefore,
dependent for their validity on the construction to be put upon pre-
vious statements or the official papers which preceded them, or upon
reports, prospectu.es, or other varying documents. They are thus
rendered CERTAIN FAMILY PROVISIONS, AND NEGOTIABLE
DOCUMENTS OF SECURITY.
Owing to this important improvement in the practice of life
assurance, the progress of this company has been rapid from the
commencement of its business, and is steadily advancing.

EXPENSES OF TAKING OUT PATENTS.

Colonel SIBMORP moved for a return of the fees
paid to the different officials by persons taking out
patents in England, Scotland, and Ireland. He did not
perceive that anything had been done to amend the
patent law since the year 1829, when a Select Commit•
tee sat without coming to any conclusion on the subject.
Nothing had been done since that time, and he supposed
that if it had not been for this Exhibition of the In-
dustry of All Nations, nothing would have been done
at all in the matter. At present a person taking
out a patent had to pay fees to the Home
Secretary, Attorney-General, Signet-office, Privy Seal,
and the Lord Chancellor. This patent was to take pre-
cedence of all nations, and of those foreigners who were
so soon to flock to our shores. The Gallant Colonel then
proceeded to inveigh in amusing terms against the pro-
bable consequence of the irruption of foreigners, whit
he contended would be full of mischief to English
society and to the commercial prosperity of the country.
There was never a greater humbug than the Exhibition;
it would be the receptacle for every kind of fraud and
immorality, and everything else which was detrimental
to the best interests of the country. If he obtained the
return he asked for he intended to bring in a measure
for the purpose of reducing the expense of obtaining pa-
tents by the industrious classes.

Mr. CORNE WALL LEWIS said he had no objec-
tion to agree to the return, but all the information the
Gallant Colonel required was contained in the report of
the Committee on the Privy Seal and Signet-offices,
which was laid on the table of the House last session.
That being the case, it would be wholly unnecessary to
reprint the return.
Mr. LENNARD would make but very few remarks,
and certainly none of a discursive character, and he was
only sorry that that indefatigable law re-
former, Lord Brougham, had not sooner taken
this subject under his consideration. It was evident
that the difficulty of taking out a patent was the ex-
pense, and he trusted that the Government would from
that consideration, accede to the motion of his Hon,
and Gallant Friend. He believed that the expense of
taking out a patent for the United Kingdom alone
without any reference to the colonies, was 3501. Now,
it was evident that this expense entirely prevented the
object fur which the patent laws were enacted, viz,, to
secure to the inventor of any useful instrument, the ro-
ward that he ought to ebtain for his invention. A poor
man eras, of course, altogether precluded from getting
his reward.
Mr. LABOUCHERE deprecated any attempt to enter
upon a general discussion of the patent laws, as a Bill
was prepared, and would shortly be introduced, upon
that subject.

ITALY.

It would appear from the following that his Holi-
ness the POPE has not quite such a high opinion of
the inhabitants of convents as his representatives in
the British House of Commons appear to entertain.
A letter from Rome of the 1913, in the Vero
Amico of Bologna, states that his HOLINESS has named
an extraordinary congregation composed of six cardi-
nals, for the purpose of inquiring into the state of
convents, and proposing remedies for the abuses that
have crept into those establishments.
Wh4t will Messrs. REYNOLDS and Co. say to In-
fallibility itself thus unwittingly corroborating Mr.
LACY ?

The Giornale di Roma of the 17th publishes a
sentence of the Supreme Tribunal of the Sacred
Consulta, condemning Pietro Ercoli, aged 34, to the
galleys for twenty yeartfor,having on the night of
the 10th. of [Way attempted to prevent one Luigi Gg-
anTi,zni from lighting a cigar he wanted to smoke.
Tree Croce di Savoia stares from Nice, that the
Chamber ut of the Tribunal of that place
ar-
sewbled, on the 22.1, to con,idar whether the persons
implicated in the late disturbances were to be ac-
quitted, or delivered up to the tribunals. No deci-
sion, it appears, was coma to at that sitting. M.
GALLI, the Mayor of Nice, has set out for Turin.
The Avenir of Nice states that the Piedumatese
Government will be forced to restore Menton and
Roccabruna to the Prince of MONACO, and that the
French Consul does not sign any more pas ports for
that locality without the visa of the Prince of Mo-
NACO.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 27th publishes the
law authorz.ing the Sardinian Government to give
execution to the treaties or commerce concluded with
England and Belgium.
The Ri.sorgi mento of Turin of the 27th quotes let-
ters from Tuscany, stating that the concordat w►th
the Holy See has not been published, because the
clergy of Lucca still demurs to it, and that,
consequently, the Tuscan Government has applied
to the POPE to use his influence with them on the
subject.

AT a, bIEETIN G of Ministers anti Gentlo•men
connected with the Congregational Churches of Eng'and and
IV,2les, held at Rodley's Hotel, ou Friday, May 16, 1851, and flamer-
yialY attended,
The Rev. JOHN KELLY, of Liverpool, in the Chair,
The question of the MAR tIAGE of a WIDOWER with his
DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER having been submitted to the meet-
It Was (with one dissentient) resolved
1• That such a marriage is not contrary either to the letter or
Vint of the Word of God.
I. That, therefore, neither secular nor ecclesiastical law ought to
forbli it.
3. That the present state of the law in this country, in positively
Prohibiting the marriage in question, inflicts great suffering and
tends to much immorality.
4. That in the case of many pious and intelligent persons, who
are Persuaded of the scriptural lawfulness of there marriages, who
are members of Churches which do not prohibit it, and uho there-
lore could both conscientiously and consistently contract it, its pro-
hibition by secular enactment is an infringentent of religious liberty.
5. That on these and other.grounds it is expedient and necessary
that the present state of the law on the subje .t in question should,
not contiune.
This meeting, therefore, recommends that application should con-'
Sinus to be made to Par lament in favour of the desired change. and
should not cease till such ch ‘n,re he obtained, s eing that an aliera-
thni in the law would be no injure to those who do not approvo the
marriage, while its continuing as it is is a serious evil to those who do.
