CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
S. NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication:—
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2601.—reeking
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives aurd between the Ist of June, llssued C 149, anin
d
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9531.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., uon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of prepmiums.
Since th commencement of the Cosnpany to the let of June last,
assurancese were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
741/. Is., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to
2,991/. 155-. I ld.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,700/.,
but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advancedfied to report that within the

the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con
Iderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
naities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
ChairJian, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the estabresults
lish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present
and future prospects.

THE WEST INDIES.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. —By the United States
steam-ship Pacific we received yesterday files of Ja-
maica journals to the 14th ult. inclusive.
The West India mail steam-ship Trent, Clarke. ar-
rived at Port Royal on the 12th ultimo, from Vera
Cruz, after a run of five days. She brought from
xico no news of importance. On the same day the
Trent left for St. Thomas and Southampton with twelve
passengers
Her Majesty's steam-ship Avon, Lieutenant Craw-
ford, arrived at Jamsiea from Greytown on the 2d
ult., in four days. Her accounts also were unimportant.
The West Lelia mail steam-ship Conway, Woolly,
arrived on the Bth from St. Thomas; also, her Ma-
jesty's ship Apello, after a run of fifty-six days from
with the 16th Regiment. On the Bth the Conway
left for Vera Cruz
Our accounts from Jamaica ore politically unim-
portant. His Excellency the Governor-General had pro-
rogued the Parliament until the 15th of July. Up-
wards of 250 neeroes had arrived in the island by the
ship Brandon, from Sierra Leone. Many of her pas-
sengers were afflicted with small-pox, and she had been
ordered into quarantine. Subsequently selections were
made by the attorneys and owner:, of property in the in-
terior of the parish. Numbers varyi e fronm 15 025
were allotted to Stone, Henge, Hyele,'Freeman's-thall,
Hyde-hall, Vale Royal, COlchie, and Stettin estates; and
en the following day the remaining 73 were taken to
Falmouth port in the schooner Dove, and distributed be-
tween Hague, Dundee, Hemstead, Tilston, and Golden-
grove. A -econd cargo was also expected, being part of
it captured French slaver's complement. Fine weather
for the growing crops had been experienced. Late ac-
counts from Liverpool and London had again been re-
ceived at Port Royal via New York; the news taken out
by the Conway arrived just after similar dates had been
received by the United States route.
Our files announce a fresh outbreak of cholera. We
extract the following from the Kingston Morning Journal
of the 13th ult.:—
" We understand that the cholera, which, it has been
already announced, had made its appearance in West-
moreland, has extended from Maylerstield to Friendship,
attacking every estate on the banks of the Cabaritta
river. At Mesopotamia and Friendship there have been
t n deaths, and one et Blackheath. The disease also
exists at the Mint and Ring's-valley, Grange-hill, and
Lincoln, and one case is reported at the Big-bridge. One
fatal case had occurred in the town of Sa.vannah•la-Mar,
brought from the infected district. This occurred on
Saturday last. No other case is reported in the town,
but a good deal of diarrhoea exists round the place
where the person died. We understand that the custos
of Westmoreland, who is in this city, has been applied
to procure a supply of medicines and a medical man.
The former has been procured by him, but we are not
aware whether the services of a medical man can be, or
have been, secured. We fear that in this latter respect
Mr. M'Neel's exertions will be unavailing."

THE LONDON WEATHER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Up to my, last communication, on the 23d, the
fluctuations of this month were sudden and excessive as
regards the temperature. From that day the weather
has presented seven days of a true summer character,
the latter five days being absolutely cloudless. The
barometer has preserved a steadiness such as I have not
witnessed for a length of time, not varying a line for
many hours. The wind since the 25th has been in the
easterly quarter, which has been the only drawback upon
the healthy condition of the air. I find that the highest
meat temperature of the month in the shade was, on
the 27th, 734 deg.; the highest on the register was 851
deg, on the 27tn, when the sun's aspect indexed 112
deg. Comparing the averages of the highest and lowest
of the first 23 days with the latter seven days of the
Month, I find the former was in the shade 68.05 deg., in
the sun 77.1 deg., and the last seven days 81.17 deg.
shade, and 100 3 deg. sun, exhibiting a daily increase,
severally, of 13 and 23 deg. The lowest of the month
was 55 deg. in the shade on the 10th, and 44 deg. at
night on the 3d, which present an extraordinary differ-
ence as compared with the appended table of the last
seven day.—l am. Sir, your sut...,eriber,

FOREIGN COPI4IiGHT.
On Tuesday a public meeting ofßritish authors, pub-
lishers, printers, etationere, and others interested in the
subject of copyright, was held et the Hanover-square
Rooms, for the purpose of taking tinto consideration the
present state of the laws relating thereto, as recently in-
terpreted in the Court of Error. It is considered that
this interpretation, which reverses several previous deci-
sions, goes to establish the claims 'of a non-resident fo-
reign author to copyright in this country, although the
English author is strictly excluded' from the benefit of
copyright in foreign countries; and that the unreci-
procated privileges thus conferred on foreigners, if
finally established, must prove extremely prejudicial to
the interests of British literature in all its departments,
whilst it will remove every inducement to the acceptance
of our proposed International Copyright Act. The
chair was taken by Sir Edward Billwer Lytton, Barb,
and Mr. H. G. Bohn acted as vice-chairman, and
among the company present were William Hewitt,
John Britton, George Cruikshank, Mr. Macfarlane,
Mr. R. H. Horne, Henry Colburn, the Rev. Dr. Wor-
thington, &c.
The CHAIRMAN, who was received with loud cheers,
said, that be had been requested to take the chair on
this occasion, in order to afford an opportunity to bring
before the public a question which was interesting in
itself, and extremely important, as affecting all those
who were possessed of property in literary co-
pyright. He would endeavour then, as briefly as pos-
sible, to place before them the object of the meeting.
Perhaps there were those present who entertained
views which were opposed to his own ' • and he would sit
down assuring them that the instant he took the chair
he would be strictly impartial, and would obtein for ell
parties a patient hearing. He would now proceed to the
business on which they were assembled. They were
aware that by the Act the Bth of Queen Anne, and by
other subsequent Acts of Parliametit confirmed, certain
privileges were ceded to authors ; though the general
principle was that printa facie a country could only be
supposed to legislate for its own subjects. It had been
long held that the Act of Queen Anne only referred to
native subjects of Great Britain ; and true it was, that
till lately foreign authors had no interest in the ques-
tion which they now agitated. Let them observe that
their authors had at various times published in other
states than their own. They first published in other
states than their own, not so much for pecuniary con-
siderations as for considerations of safety in cases of
theological works, in which the opiniens of the author
differed from those of the Government. This had been
the case in Italy, and in one or two cases in France. So
in the instance m Voltaire, many of whose works were
published in Holland ; but so little, as a foreigner,
could he obtain a copyright, that he complained of the
mutilated perversions of his works. He came over to
England a few years after the passing of the Act of
Queen Anne. He resided in London, the place
where he laid the foundation of his fortune. He received
a large amount of subscriptions to his " Henriade,"
which work was promoted by the Princess of Wales,
attervvards known as the Queen Caroline. Voltaire lived
on terms of the closest intimacy with the most celebrated
statesmen of the age; he was especially intimate aith
Bolinghroke and the Nliuisters under whose Government
the Act of the Bth Queen Anne had been passed; and,
therefore, it was clear that if it heed been intended to
give a copyright to foreigners, Voltaire would have been
appro. -ed of the feet, and he bad every motive for aveil-
ing himself of the advantage. Voltaire received a large
sum from the subscribers to the " Henriade"—a sum of
6,000/. So far, if the purchase of the worle gave a copy-
right, he would have been entitled to it. He corrected
second editions for London which could not be published
in Paris; he corrected a third edition for London in
1733. So little did be possess a copyright, that he re-
pudiated the edition subsequently published by Mr.
Thompson. Another strong case was that of a work
written by Voltaire in English, and published in London
during his residence there, and which was finally trans-
lated into French by Da Fontaine. Voltaire disclaimed
the effort. and complained of the mutilations which had
been made in many cases. But so little copyright did
he possess that these essays were reprinted in 1739,
containing all De Fontaine's blunders. An edition of
his works was begun at Oxford, containing the works
which had been published in London, and the name
of him who had rendered the name illustrious was sup-
pressede for the title-page gave it as the work of the
ingenious Arouet (his father, the notary); thus show-
ing that Voltaire had no copyright. 'Judi the case
which had occurred two years ago the supposition that '
the Act of Queen Anne was for the benefit of English
authors had never been disputed till the year 1822.
Bat the case they advocated was that of " Boosey v.
Purday," which was decided by Baron Rolfe (now Lord
Cranworth), in which he, in a comprehensive judgment,
determined that that Act could only be taken as he had
quoted—as having been passed for the benefit of Eng-
lish learning, and that foreigners were not entitled to
copyright. But recently this judgment hi,d been re-
versed, thereby showing the uncertainty of the law. If
the late decision of Lord Campbell, whom he regarded
as a statesman and a man of letters, as well as a most
eminent forensic authority, expounded really the state
of the existing law, it might be expedient to try and
alter it. The Acts of Edward IV., &c., showed that in
those early times the Legislature encouragedtihe intro-
duction of foreign books. Every man was at liberty to
sell. That doctrine was repealed by the Act of Queen
Anne. In the late decision two case had been referred to
—the one that of Rapin, and the other Delolme. The
judge considered that they had a copyright—the one in
connexion with his work on the Constitution, and the
other in respect to his History of England. But he would
leave it to his friend Mr. Bohn to show that neither of
these parties had any copyright. This only showed how
difficult it was for a judge, most erudite, to view the
question in its proper light. The case of free trade bore
no analogy to such a case as this. But now the question,
which was of real importance, that granting the Act of
Queen Anne was intended to increase learning and to
encourage learned men to compose good works—was
there nothing in the construction of tho Act by Lord
Campbell which affected the system of foreign piracies
abroad? The meeting were aware that it was only since
the peace that our literature had been universally culti-
vated. But, iu spite of the increase of the British read-
ing public, the cheap rate at which the English works
were published in all departments of literature had con•
siderably diminished. In respect to light literature, with
which he was himself most familiar—(Hear)—novel:,
for instance, excited a curiosity which must be satisfied,
and the works were taken off by circulating libraries,
and perhaps that branch of literature was sufficiently re-
imbursed. The Belles Lettres under the existing law had
become almost extinct. When he was iu Parliament
some years ago he put on the books of the House a no-
tice of motion on the subject of international copyright,
and hetdid not withdraw that notice till the Government
undertook to negotiate with foreign Powers, and the
result had been the passing of the International Copy-
right Act; according to the principle of which we gave to
every foreign author a copyright, if those counties gave
a copyright to our own authors. Some of the German
states had availed themselves of this privilege. Two
countries, France and America, had taken no steps, but
he was told that the question had made progress in
France. In Belgium the chief obstacle, however, was
felt. America had obtained the consent of almost all
her authors, and the clause had received valuable co-
eperation from the press, and he had no doubt till the
recent construction which had been put on the statute of
Queen Anne, that this great measure would have been
accomplished; but if this construction of the Act of
Anne lately pronounced were maintained, then the in-
ternational copyright became that which was little better
than parchment for battledores. Had there been a
copyright in Amoriaa it would have made a difference to
him (the Chairman) of 60,0001., and the meeting would
judge what the effect must be on alt persons cultivating
popular literature. It would, indeed, be a happy advent
when our friends across the Atlantic were converted
into the contributors to, instead of the despoilers of
English literature. He know that certain political
economists would say that generosity on cur part
would lead to the happiest results, but he entertained
no such exalted idea of the principle of free trade.
He locked to our commercial tariffs to show that
liberality on our part by no means ensured the principle
of reciprocity. Ho thought the first duty of a country
was to protect the rights of her own subjects. We
bad done what was fair and just to America. We had
()flared to her authors, and those of other countries, that
which we asked her to give to us. He contended it was
impossible to have a healthful pure literature in America
so long as the present systenahxisted, and whilst there
was this wholesale smuggling of English literature. In
America " Macaulay's History of England" was to be
got for nothing. So, if an American author went to a
publisher there, what was the answer? Buy your book,
sir! No. Why Dickens's works will sell like wildfire.
Thus the native plant faded under the shadow of the
transplanted tree. If they looked to America they must
call to mind the writings of Jonathan Edwards, Chan-
ning, and Washington Irving; but they were the chil-
dren of another period; and in speaking of the irn prove-
ment which the glorious Republic made they did not
find that the younger generation had made any improve-
ment equal to the writers of the past. If he were an
American he never would cease to use his efforts to ob-
tain a national copyright. He should oppose this one-
sided Act that tended to deport and denaturalise their
own literature. He regretted deeply that this great
question had been made the subject of litigation between
highly-respectable parties, showing the miserable uncer-
tainty of the law, keeping the most eminent publishers in
the same hot water. He had had but a slight acquaintance
with Mr. Bohn, who, to his immortal honour, had put a
stop to cheap literature, so called, which had polluted the
country. On the other hand, he would refer to the son
of a prince of publishers, renowned for his liberality,
and who had been connected with the most illustrious
writers of the day—he referred to the house of Murray.
And next ho referred to Mr. Bentley, of whom he would
only speak in terms of profound respect and considera-
tion. He most sincerely regretted that on this question
he was opposed to Mr. Bentley and to Mr. Murray. He
telt that he bad promoted the question of copyright,
and that, therefore, he could not shrink from being pre-
sent on this occasion; bite in consenting to take the
chair he held himself clear from the difficulties with
which the question was encompassed. He declined to
consider whether this question was or was not connected
with free trade, because the opinions of many present
were divided. The Hon. Baronet concluded his address

Mr. ERNEST JONES having made a long speech, con-
cluded by moving an amendment to the effect that that
meeting highly approved of the recent proposition by
Lord Campbell, as ono of the preparatory steps most
conducive to the attainment of that whin justice de-
manded, the law of international copyright.
Mr. WILLIS, of Craven-street, seconded the amendment.

Mr. JAMES FOGG° urged the necessity of unanimity
on tbis occasion, and hoped the amendment would be
withdrawn.

Mr. COLBURN said he had been one of the greatest
sufferers under the present law. It was clear to him that
unless the law was altered the literature of this country
would be seriously injured. It was impossible to expect
that authors would write till they were paid; as well
might they expect the farmer to till his ground and not
reap his harvest. He had himself given as much tis 8001.
or 1,000/. for works of fiction; but now, in consequence
of the existing law, he Could not afford to give authors
for the same matter more than 1001. or 1501. What had
prevented the publication of the remaining works of M.
Thiers? Why, the publishers had been almost ruined by
the operation of the piracies. M. Dumas attempted to
dispose of his copyright; but unless there were a recip-
rocal Copyright Act, the publishers, he supposed, would
not pay one shilling to any foreigner for their publica-
tions in future. He thought that retaliation was the only
course to be pursued till the Government framed some
practical measure.
Mr. JEFFREYS, the defendant in the cote of "Boosey v.
Jeffreys," addressed the meeting at some length, and
showed the singular state of the copyright law in Ame-
rica at present, by which, to secure a copyright, a man
must renounce his allegiance to his Queen and country.
We continued the injurious effects of this state of things
in America, in reference to musical compositions, &c.
Mr. Novello supported the amendment, as did Mr.
Cocks, Mr. Hyde Clarke, and Mr. Vizetelly.
The CHAIRMAN put the question, and on a show of
hands the amendment was lost, and the original motion
was carried.
Mr. G. CRUIRSHANK moved the next resolution, that
the meeting considered the subject to be of national in-
terest and importance, and that the expense of deter-
mining the meaning of the law thereon ought not to de-
volve upon a private individual; that a committee be
continued to ascertain the meaning of the law, and
to open public subscriptions for the necessary ex-
penditure.
Mr. M'PARLANE seconded the resolution.
Mr HENRY MAYHEW lOSO to move an amendment,
which, however, being of a personal character, was over-
ruled by the Chairman and the meeting, and after some
discussion the resolution was carried.
Mr. SHEEHAN proposed a resolution to the effect that
an appeal should be made to the House of Lords, and
that, if necessary. application should bo made to Par-
liament for a declaratory act to explain the real and true
meaning of Copyright.
The resolution having been seconded, was carried;
and subsequently a vote of thanks to the Chairman was
moved, seconded, and duly acknowledged.
The meeting then separated.
