that they had mistaken public humour for public
1 opinion. He was sustained in the difficult and
painful course he was taking by the recollection of
what occurred in the spring and at the last meeting
of the clergy and laity of this deanery., Then the
second reading of Sir John Trelawny ti Bill had been
carried by a much reduced majority, and the advo-
cates of what is fallaciously styled compromise were
strongly in favour of what they calleasei▪
zln g the
opportunity of a settlement. He (Mr. Disraeli) was
of a different opinion. He did not think that the
advantage which the Church had then obtain▪
ed was
only a happy casualty. He thought it was the break
of dawn. He did his utmost to dissuade his friends
from relinquishing the contest, and ultimately, on his
sole responsibility, opposed the third reading of Sir
John's Trelawny's bill. The whole country was
agitated on that occasion by the opponents of the
Church to regain the lost ground. Instead of
that, the majority against church-rates, which had
sat like an incubus on the Church for twenty
years, virtually disappeared. They owed to
that division their present commanding position.
It was in their power, if they chose, it to close this
controversy for ever, not by a feeble concession,
but by a bold assertion of public right. They
sent 5,000 petitions in favour of that public right
to the House of Commons last session. Let them
send this sessionls,ooo. Every parish should have
its petition. They must not be merely signed by
theincumbent and the churchwardens, as they
were in some instances, or by ratepayers merely, as
in many cases, but by as many persons as they
could obtain. It was the cause of all. There was
no greater mistake than to suppose petitions pro-
duced little effect on the House of Commons. They
produced great effect. The number of petitions,
the number and nature of their signatures, the
classes from which they proceed, are all weighed
and canvassed. There is a report every week sent
by a select committee to every member of Parlia-
ment on these heads. The clergy never exten-
sively move in this manner without exercising
great authority. They could not petition too much.
They should not wait for the attack. They should
send in their petitions as soon as Parliament meets,
on a broad issue, in favour of maintaining the
union between Church and State, and, incidentally,
in favour of church-rates. They should also en-
courage and establish Church unions in every part
of England. They should habituate the laity to
act with the clergy in all matters of public moment
to the Church. There was a third course also to
take, and here would particularly address himself
to his clerical friends. The laity, through that
excellent body, the " Committee of Laymen," had
done their duty in that respect. He had always
discouraged the clergy from entering into mere
party politics ; but now, he told them frankly,
that if they wanted to succeed, they must bring
their influence to bear on the members of the
House of Commons. The question of church-rates
had, fortunately, not yet fallen into the catalogue
of party politics. More than one member of the
present Cabinet recorded at least his vote in their
favour. The clergy must make members of Parlia-
ment understand, that though this was not a
party, it was a political question, and a
political question on which, in their minds,
there ought not to be, and there could
not be, any mistake. He could assure them, from
his own knowledge, that there were many mem-
bers of Parliament who, on this question gave care-
less votes, and thought by so doing they were
giving some vague liberal satisfaction without pre-
paring any future inconvenience for themselves.
Let their clerical friends, Whig or Tory, Conserva-
tive or Liberal, make these gentlemen understand
that in their opinion, in the union of Church and
State depend in a large measure, the happiness, the
greatness, and the liberty of England.
The right hon. gentleman, who was listened to
with profound attention, sat down amid general
applause, and, after discussion,
Mr. LOWNDES CHESIIAINI moved three resolu-
tions, embodying the recommendations of Mr. Dis-
raeli, which were adopted neinine contradicente.

COPYRIGHT TREATY BETWEEN

ENGLAND AND SARDINIA.

TURIN, DEc. 2.

Sir James Hudson, her Majesty's• Minister at the
Court of Turin, and the Cavaliere Constantine
Nigra, acting in behalf of the Sardinian Govern-
ment, have ben busy about a treaty of international
copyright between Great Britain and this country,
which is almost concluded, and will shortly be
published.
The Convention contains 15 articles. By the first
article it is stipulated that the authors.or literary
or artistical works, whose copyright or right of
proprietorship or authorship is now guaranteed, or
may hereafter be guaranteed, in one of the two
States, will be empowered to exercise the right in
the dominions of the other State during the same
lapse of time and within the same limits which
would by this other State be conferred upon the
authors of works of the same kind therein pub-
lished, so that the reproduction or piracy (eon
traftazione) of any literary or artistical work what-
ever, published in one of the two States, will be
dealt with in the other State in the same manner
as this latter State would deal with the reproduc-
tion or piracy of a work of the same kind therein
published ; and the authors in either State shall
have, before the courts and tribunals of the other
State, the same right of action, and will enjoy the
same guarantee, with respect to any unauthorised
reproduction and piracy of their works, which the
law allows, or may hereafter allow, to the authors
of the latter named State. _ _

The same article defines the expressions '6 literal
and artistical works' as embracing " books, drama-
tic works, musical compositions, drawings, paint-
ings, sculptures, engravings, lithographs, and all
other production of literature and the fine arts."
The right of action may be exercised by lawyers
employed by the authors, translators, composers,
&c., as proxies.
Art. 11. extends the copyright to translation.
Nevertheless this article only protects the translator
so far as his own translation is concerned, but does
not confer the exclusive right of translation upon
the first translator of any work whatever, except
in the case and within the limits prescribed in the
ensuing article.
Art. 111. The right of translation of his own
work is reserved to the author in both States for
the space of five years from the date of publication
of the translation of his own work by himself
authorised, during which time this translation
will enjoy the privilege of protection against all
other unauthorised translation, provided the follow-
ing conditions be complied with :—The original
work must be registered and deposited in one of the
two States within three months from its first pub-
lication in the other State. The author must sig-
nify in the title-page of his work his intention to
reserve the right of translation. The authorised
translation must be published partly within the
year and wholly within three years from the date
of the registration and deposit of the original work.
The translation must be duly registered and depo-
sited as per Article VIII. For works published in
numbers it will be sufficient if the reserve of trans-
lation is claimed in the first number ; but as to the
period of five years allowing an exclusive right of
translation, each number will be considered as a
separate work, and the same formalities of registra-
tion and deposit will have to be complied with for
each number. .

formance of dramatic works, and the exeuntionn_
of musical compositions. But the reservation

own laws prescribe in cases of the reproduction of

Art. VIII. The rights accruing to authors, trans-
lators, &c., from the present Convention cannot be
exercised unless the following formalities of regis-
tration be complied with :—Works published in
the States of Sardinia must be registered (entered
at Stationers-hall, in London, and works published
in the States of her Britannic Majesty must be
