LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1851.
`VI ,%r

ballot—be provided, which will at the same time
afford protection to the voter, and remove the induce-
ment from the candidate of attempting to gain his
suffrage by any improper means.

Contrary to all rational expectation, there seems to
be now every likelihood that the Patent Law Amend-
ment Bill cannot be passed during the present session
of Parliament. After the energetic efforts made to
forward this measure through the remaining stages,
the sudden obstruction encountered by its supporters

is, in sober earnest, a very grievous disappointment.
On glancing over the report of yesterday's proceed-
ings in the House of Commons it will be perceived
that for tbis most encouraging circumstance the

country is indebted to the Thersites of the Legisla-
ture. Nothing could possibly be more irritating than
this, the inventors of the United Kingdom having

looked forward with the utmost confidence to the re-
cognition of their rights by the Lords and Commons,
as well as by the members of her MAJESTY'S Govern-
ment, Immediately prior, however, to the realization
of all their hopes they have been abruptly thrown back
into the " slough of despond" by the petulance with

which the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman the Member

for Lincoln refused to postpone a ridiculous little

motion of his own, even in compliance with the
wishes of the entire House, and in obedience to the

remonstrances of the Prime Minister of England

Very different was the conduct pursued last evening
by another Hon. and Gallant Member, the represen-

tative of Ludlow. Seeing that without some conces

sion Gn his part and on that ,of his brother senators
there would be no chance whatever of the Bill pass-

ing into law this session, Colonel SALWEY, though re-
luctantly, still consented to waive his right of priority
so as to afford some opportunity for the carrying out

of the views of the Admini3tration. Notwithstand.

ing this admirable example, Colonel SIETSORP reso-
lutely and sturdily refused to budge one inch in accord-
ance with the demands of the occasion. To the request
addressed to himself from the Ministerial benches he
bluntly responded with a negative. When Lord
Joint RUSSELL himself hinted that it was usual on
the Member who had the first motion on the paper
giving way for those who followed him to give way
also, Colonel SLaTHOEP retorted, with a plain, bare-
faced, blundering, uncivil, inelegant—" / won't."
After this specimen of courtesy there was, of course, no
alternative whatever. Needs must when a certain indi-
vidual drives, saith the proverb, and hence the Patent
Law Amendment Bill was burked most ruthlessly.
Colonel SALWEY in due course brought forward his
motion referring to the Military Knights of Windsor,
and in the middle of his statement, at precisely
half-past six, the House was counted, and thirty-
eight Members only being present, it was adjourned
accordingly. All this, we need scarcely remark, was
in the highest degree vexatious. The boon was just
upon the eve of being obtained, the pear was so ripe
that it was all but dropping into the mouths that had
been long watering for a taste of it—and exactly at this
crisis, when "all went merry as a marriage bell," Colo-
nel SIBTUORP must needs wedge in his petulant " /
won't," and doom the unfortunate inventors of the
United Kingdom to another lamentable disappointment.
Under the peculiar circumstances of the case, Vi e
have maintained all along that any change whatever in
the laws relating to patents would be preferable to no
alteration whatever. Hence we have watched the pro-

gress of the Amendment Bill with such singular so
citude, exulting in behalf of inventors, in behalf 0.
science, and in behalf, moreover, of the public a'
large, at every onward movement in the way
of the desired innovation. Yet, exactly
at the moment when we were about to congratulate
the country on the passage of the measure through
the House of Commons, the whole of these arduous
exertions of the Government are set at nought, and
the Bill, like many a promising horse at the Derby,
proves in the end to be nowhere. We must now,
therefore, make up our minds with the best grace
possible to the necessity of delaying our hopes in the
matter until next session, when, in an improved and
more carefully deliberated manner, the measure may
again be brought under the consideration of the
Imperial Legislature. During the Parliamentary
recess which is just now on the eve of
its commencement, it behoves all advocates of
reform in the Patent Laws of the United Kingdom
to prepare for the motion which will have to be made
next year with a view to the more effectual removal
of existing abuses. Powerful as the evidence has
already been of the injuries inflicted upon public and
private interests by the Patent Laws as they are at
the present moment enforced, it will, of course, be
peculiarly advantageous to accumulate yet more nu-
merous and persuasive testimony of the folly
of further procrastination. For, unfortunately,
some few determined minds yet remain to
be convinced not of the fact of the
evils complained of, but of their repeated magnitude.
Deputy chaff-waxes may be abolished, seven or eight
different stages may be rendered unnecessary in the
procuring of letters patent, fees may be dispensed
with in an extraordinary variety of quarters, the
time required in the process may be very materially
diminished, and yet, after all this, much would still
remain to be accomplished, so as to place in-
ventors upon a proper footing. It should be
remembered, for instance, that together with these
improvements others should be secured, whereby
the community would be enabled in the
best manner to examine into the value of cer•
tain projects, and to discover the precise amount of
their originality. By organizing a system of public
registration, by opening this to the view of the masses
at a comparatively trifling cost, as in the instance of
the wills preserved in the offices at Doctors' Commons,
by establishing, moreover, an institution in which
the models of different contrivances might
be seen on application, the Legislature would
signally advance the cause of science in the
United Kingdom, and by this means forward the
general prosperity of the population. Let these con-
siderations be borne in mind, and it may ultimately
come to pass that we may be compensated for our pre-
sent disappointment, larger reforms being secured by a
little additional procrastination. No thanks to Colonel
SIBTEIORP ; for the benefits here hinted at would be
obtained in spite of him and his very courteous self-
sufficiency.

Tug LATE ECLIPSE.—At Konigsburgh, Dantzic,
and Derehan, where the eclipse of the sun was total. dark-
ness like that of night prevailed for some minutes. During
this time a great number of stars was visible, among them
Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury were perfectly visible. The
natural phenomena produced on the animal and vegetable
world were highly interesting. Several flowers closed, the
birds which had been before flying about suddenly disap-
peared, the cocks crowed and the birds went to roost. In
some villages great consternation prevailed among the in-
habitants, and many families shut themselves up in their
rooms till the eclipse was over, so great was their superstition.
This, however, was by no means general, for dense crowds
with magnifying glasses, telescopes, and burnt glass, were
assembled on the heights to witness this interesting scene.

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT SUNDERLAND.—
On Monday morning last there was considerable excitement
among the commercial classes of Sunderland, owing to the
sudden death of Mr. Christopher John Spence; ship-broker,
who was reported to have died from the effects of a blow re-
ceived during an altercation with Mr. Joseph Buchanan, ship-
builder of Sunderland. It appears that both the gentlemen
were on the best terms, and on Friday week they both went
into the bar of the Bridge-hotel, where, while drinking toge-
ther, an altercation ensued, and Mr. Buchanan seized
a large drinking glass and threw it at Mr. Spence's
head, it hit him on the right temple, and the wound
bled freely. They separated, and Mr. Spence went home
and had his wound dressed, and felt himself better, and
walked out next morning, and again met with Mr.
Buchanan, and they walked together on terms of friend-
ship. The next day Mr. Spence grew worse and took to his
bed, and, mortification having taken place, he expired on
Monday morning last. On the afternoon of that day a war-
rant was issued for the apprehension of Mr. Buchanan, and
the same day he was taken into custody and brought before
the Mayor of Sunderland, charged by Mr. W. Brown,
superintendent of police, with killing and slaying Mr. Chris-
topher John Spence, broker. Mr. Cooper, solicitor, appeared
on behalf of the prisoner, and said that his client felt the
deepest sorrow for the unfortunate circumstanee, and that
he had walked with the deceased the day after the quarrel,
and he had also visited him the day before his death ; and,
under all the circumstances, he hoped that the Mayor and
magistrates would allow his client to find bail; but the ma-
gistrates declined to accept bail, and the prisoner was re-
manded until a coroner's inquest be held on the body of the
deceased.
THE MONEY ORDER DEPARTMENT OF THE POST-
OFFICE.— On Monday was printed a return to the House of
Commons, from which it appears that in the year ended the
31st of December last there were 4,439,713 money orders is-
shed in the United Kingdom, and the amount was 8,494,496/.
10s. 7d. The number paid was 4,431,235, and the amount
paid was 8,483,0551. ls. 10d., leaving a large sum unpaid of
the number issued. The expenses of the department were
last year 70,577/., and the commission was 73,813/. on the
orders.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT lIUNGERFORD PIER. On
Monday evening a young man named John Brown. a resi-
dent at Woolwich, fell from off the Greenwich and Woolwich
Company's packet Dryad, at Ilungerford Steam-boat Pier.
Unfortunately it was dark, with a strong ebb-tide running.
and notwithstanding every exertion was used to SAYS him,
he was drowned, aad the body was not recovered.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The LORD MAYOR and the Commissioners of the
Great Exhibition were on Monday entertained by the
PRESIDENT of the Republic at St. Cloud. A detailed
account of these festivities will be found in another
column.
The Legislative Assembly has authorised the city
of Paris to contract a loan of 50 millions of francs, to
terminate the Rue de Riveli and to enlarge the central
markets.
Marshal JEROME BONAPARTE, who is now residing
at his country house at Gourdez, near Chartres, was
the day before yesterday suddenly seized with a
rather violent attack of cholic and diarrbcea attended
with fever. Medical assistance was sent for from
Chartres, and hopes are entertained that in a few days
all alarming symptoms will disappear.
The Bourse was firm, with little business doing. The
Five per Cents. ftpened at 95f. 60c., and closed at 95f. 80c.
for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sale; of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 500 American and 1,000
Surat wero taken for export, and 1,200 American on
speculation. The market closed very firmly, the only
change to notice being in qualities at and under 4d. per
lb., which were a shade higher.—The market for Rail-
ways was very flat, and prices had a downward ten-

dency.
The reports from France concerning the grain crops
are very favourable as regards the quality, though the
quantity of wheat, it is said, may prove rather smaller
than last year.
The rates at which bills of exchange upon the chief
continental cities were yesterday negotiated were in se-
veral instances higher. Ninety days paper was taken
at 25 20 to 25 on Paris, 11 17t to 18k on Amsterdam,
13 8 tot on flimburgh, 1191 to i ou Frankfort, and
11 46 to 49 on Trieste.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 4th inst. was
tolerably firm, Dutch Two and-a Half per Cents. being
58i. In Foreign Securities there was no alteration.
We are informed that the Mining Exchange not hav-
ing been established. as was desired, the members have
joined the Hall of Commerce.
The arrivals of shipping are very large in the Thames
during the last two or three days, including vessels from
the Baltic, Spain, France, Holland, Newfoundland, Ha-
vannab, and Madras.
In a circular upon railway prospects, by Messrs. J. S.
Tripp and Co., the Brighton accounts are thus ana-
lysed :—" In April, 1850, we stated that neither the
Brighton nor the Midland Company had charged their
revenue with the sum that would by-and-by be found re-
quisite for their maintenance of way. Subsequently,
in our review of the Brighton accounts tor the
half-year ending June 30th, 1850, we observed
that the cost of the maintenace of way had

increased Si. per mile, and that it was then,
in our opinion, 131. per mile less than would be found
sufficient in all probability before another year. The
cost of the half-year ending June, 1850, was 931. per
mile. The cost for the half year just ended is
98.5397/. per mile, being more than 51. 10s. per mile
in excess of the charge fur the corresponding six
months of last year, and as we still believe it to be
71. 103. psr mile under the sum that will ultimately be
found requisite. It must al.o be borne in mind that the
length of miles open is 173 k, but the number of miles
charged to maintenance of way is only 1591.
Another important feature is the decline in the train
mileage receipts observable by the following comparison:
Train mileage receipts for the half year ending June 30 :
1849 Bs. sd. 1 1850 7s. 7d. 1 1851 6s. 34d.
"For the half-year ending Dec ember 31st, 1849, the
receipts were s.lO 261 per train mile; but then the train
mileage was in the proportion of 3252 miles per mile,
whereas, as we have already shown, the train mileage for
the half-year ending June last was in the proportion
of 4479 miles to each mile of the railway. The di-
rectors explain in their report that the competition
at the Hastings branch left them no alternative but to
place additional trains on the line. The result is evi-
dent. The train mileage receipts have not kept pace
with the increased number of trains, and the sooner the
train mileage can be reduced to the standard of 3252
miles per mile, when the train mileage receipts wore
s. 10.261 per mile, the greater will be the profit. In
our last Circular we estimated that the Brighton divi-
dend for the half-year ending June would be at the rate
of 3i per cent° per annum, or 355. for the half year."
The following is from the Circular of Messrs.
Schroeder and Mummy, dated New Orleans, July 12,
and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, rela-
tive to the state of the markets:—
" COTTONS—The changes which have occurred in our
Cotton market since our last Circular of 21st ult. have
been but of little importance; prices have been but
slightly affected by the tenor of advices since received
from Liverpool. The lower qualities only, say from
ordinary to middling, forming at present the bulk of
our stock, have somewhat receded, and may be quoted
about ke. lower than at our last date. The better qua-
lities, on the contrary, become scarcer, and the demand
existing for them for shipment to Spain and the North
of the United States, enables holders to obtain full
prices. The principal business has been done for Eng-
land and Spain, with some lots for the Continent, and
the transactions would have undoubtedly been larger,
but for the tightness of our Money market, and the diffi-
culty of negotiating exchange. The sales of this week
sum up 13,000 bales, and of the two preceding weska
10,500 and 14,000 bales. Oar unsold stock of Cotton
may be put down at about 35,000 bales, consisting
mainly of mixed lists of the lower descriptions and Ala-
bama Cotton. Even-running lists, with the exception
of fair and above, and very little of these, are not to be
met with, and if holders reluctantly submit to a selec-
tion, they obtain from kc. to 4c. above our quotations,
which are—Ordinary to good ordinary, 6k to 7; mid-
dling, 7k to 81; good middling, 9k to 9i; middling fair,
94 to 10; fair, 10k to 10k. The proste.cts for the new
crop are very flattering, and only from few districts com-
plaints reach us of the continued drought. Sales during
the last three weeks 37,500 bales. Receipts at this port
since Ist Sept., 940,590 bales, against 782,916 bales last
year. Increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest
dates, 296,547 bales.
" Rio COFFEE,—The sales of this article amount to
about 9,000 sacks during the three last weeks, and the
market closes now firmly at Ste. for a fair article. Ar-
rived during that period Francis Watts, 3,500 sacks;
Henry, 6,500 sacks. The stock is reduced to 9.145
seeks, against about 47,000 sacks same time last season.
Imports, 270,190 sacks against 220,299 backs same time
