2. The Hessian question will be Fettled by the eva-
cuation of Hesse by both the Austrian and Prussian
troops. It will be left to the Doctor to come to terms
with the Assembly of Estates, and thus to restore
the legal state of his country. If an understanding
cannot be effected in this way the country will
be occupied by Austrian troops, acting as the
Elect pr's auxiliaries (ihat is to say, not as Feeral
troops) in the same manner as Prussian forces at one
time acted for the Grand Duke of Baden, and in this
ca,e the mediation will be undertaken by a Prussian and
an Austrian Commissioner.
" 3. In the question of the German Constitution it
has been agreed that Austria and Prussia shall act on a
footing of perfect equality (paritdt). The Free Con•
ter,nces will create a central organ, which is to be coal-
po.ed of the former 17 votes of the lesser Conle,:!eration,
(engere Bond), and the Federal can shall he subjected
io a revision. The Executive Power in this Coniedirra-
lion will belong to Austria and Prussia nine. Austri,i
ri serves its declaration as to which of its provinces will
enter this new Confederation, in which there will be !•43
pop War representation. With respect to Art. X 1 of
the Federal Pact, which pri.vides that fur purpoo s

the States will be authorised t form separate leagues.
" 4. All the German States are to take part in the
Free Conferences, which will be opened as Dresden in
the course of this very month.
" 5. The Prussian army, as well as the Federal troops,
will far the present reia.ain on a ear footing.
" 6. The transactions of the Federal Diet will cease.
The Federal Diet has no vote on any of the above
questions."

A yet more admirable field for improvement in re-
ference to the laws affecting the interests of scientific
men, is comprised in the fourth resolution, " that it
should be permitted to commence actions for the in-
fringement of the rights of inventors in the County
Courts." By allowing inventors this inexpensive
method of obtaining for themselves reparation, and
for their inventions protection, the Parliament would
be mitigating a very large amount of unalleviated
suffering, and preventing thereby a monstrous system
of piracy from passing altogether with impunity.
The little annoyance that could possibly result from
such reforms as have been traced out by the op.
ponents of the existing laws relating to patents, is
ref-erred to explicitly in the fifth and concluding re-
solution, " that inasmuch as, contrary to expectation,
very little litigation has been created by the rights
conferred by the Designs Acts, 1842 and 1843, the
Committee is of opinion that a fair trial should be
given to the working of the proposed system of re-
gistration of inventions, before any special tribunal,
to determine inventive rights, be substituted for the
existing tribunals." Nothing could be more excel-
lently accordant with the whole of the ideas expressed
in the columns of this journal, in one of its recent
impressions, than those incorporated in the resolutions
here particularised—resolutions which prove that the
aspirants for improvement in the patent laws are prac-
tical as well as sanguine, resolved to point out the
machinery as well as its application.
Whether or not the Exposition of 1851 turn out
successfully in advancing the interests of science in
other departments, we are confident that it will tend
immediately to secure advantages until now denied to
those who have genius in mechanical invention. By
securing them from piracies, the Legislature will best
enable them to employ their peculiar faculties for the
public benefit, the pecuniary good resulting to them-
selves from their first efforts proving the happiest
stimulant for their ingenuity, and the most direct en-
couragement to them under disappointment. We
mean, of course, the disappointment arising out of
the errors of the theorist when tested by experiment ;
and such disappointments as these the inventor is
peculiarly liable to, suffering in this manner most
grievously from that " hope deferred which maketh
the heart sick." Foremost among the advantages
capable of being conferred on the class of scientific
inventors is that of placing within their reach, at a
moderate charge, the securities afforded by the bene •
ficence of the law. In this particular we allude not
so much to the carrying out of the proposal of the
Committee appointed by the Society of Arts in regard
to the County Courts, as already specified, as we do to
the diminution of the great cost at present weighing
down the purchasers of all letters patent. Upon
this part of the subject we have already been
sufficiently explicit, having mentioned in detail the
intolerable fees required from the unfortunate inven-
tor in the procurement of his specification ; neverthe"-
less, we could not but revert to them yet again, how-
ever incidentally, actuated in so doing by our solicitude
to witness the diminution of the burdens hitherto im-
posed upon men who, from the peculiar school in
which they are educated, are usually either im-
poverished or improvident. With this solicitude ever
before us, we shall persist at all available opportuni-
ties in enforcing the necessity for the proposed im-
provement.

In the Produce markets this week, prices have been
rather looking up as regards Sugar, Coffee, and
some of the learlieg staples, and holders are firm.
Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury, summing up the
transactions of the month, state that the produce
markets during the past month have been
more or less afficted by the accounts received from the
Continent; the unsettled state of affairs there has pre-
vented much business, and consequently prices of
most articles have given way; the home trade have
bought but sparingly, and speculative operations for
the present are checked. The markets have been
freely supplied, and holders are more willing sellers at
a small reduction upon previous rates. the importations of
produce have been moderate, the deliveries continue good
for borne consumption, and for export there is at present
no material falling off; the stocks generally are less, and
pines high, r than last 3 ear. For dyes and dyeing mate-
rials the, demand has not been quite so good; Cochin( al is
lower in price, and holders of Indigo are more willing
sellers; the better qualities of S, .twer are rather
higher, other articles are much the same. The impor-
tations have been considerable, and the stocks generally
with the exceptio❑ of Indigo, are in excess of those ut
tits time last year.

paign. Should the interview between M. de. Manteuffel
and Prince Sehwartzenburg produce the expected con-
sequences, so that the affairs o : Hesse and Schleswig
shall be settled in a pacific manner, and should the re-
organizatio❑ of the Germanic body not awaken rivalities
and suspicions. peace will become consolidated. Then
the German Governments will no doubt reduce those
armies which exhaust their finances and entail so ere.A
sacrifices. The motives of prudence which induced the
French Government to increase the army at the moment
they were disposed, ou the contrary, to reduce it, will
have lost their power. Economy will resume its sway,
and it is probable that the presence of the soldiers now,
called out will enable the Government to dismiss others
at an earlier period than they would otherwise have
been entitled to return to their home s."

The political dinners of the Breton representatives
have been resumed at the Trois Freres Provencaux.
The Assembly yesterday voted the required credit
for the addition to the army of 40,000 men by a ma-
jority of 466 to 213. At the commencement of the
discussion General Lahitte made the following com-
munication to the Assembly :
" Gentlemen, I think my duty at the commence-
ment of this discussion to inform the Assembly t f the
last news which the Government has rec.ived from
Germany. The Prince de Schwartzenberg and M. de
ManteutM met on the 28th of last month at Olmutz.
These Ministers have agreed on the following
arrangements :—There shall be a co-operation of Prus-
sian and Federal troops in Hesse. As to the question of
Holstein, a Prussian Commissioner is to proceed with a
Federal one to the liuchies, and each to address to the
Regent a summons to lay down their arms; the summons
from each Commissioner being in the same terms. In
case this summons should not lead to the result expect« d,
a Prussian corps should with the Federal troops take
such coercive measures as might become necessary.—
(Long interruption, and ironical laughter on the Lek)
" These two points have been the object of a cut.-
vention on, the 29th of November by the two nego-
tiator:.

op •n from Eleven till Four
Stage Manager, Mr. T. Thompson.

A case was trial yesterday before Lord CAMPBELL,
which, although of no public interest per se, becomes
of considerable importance when taken in connexion
with the recent alterations in the law, and the more
than probable extension of the principle of allowing
parties to be witnesses in suits in which they are
themselves personally concerned, at no very distant
period. Considerable controversy has already taken
place, and there is a great diversity of opi-
nion with respect to this point. Some contend
that it will lead to very serious results, holding out a
direct inducement to wilful and corrupt perjury';
while others declare that it will provide an additional
and most valuable mode of arriving at the truth, and
preventing decisions from being made contrary to
equity and good conscience, merely through the
failure or scarcity of legal evidence. They also rely
with much apparent reason on the fact, that such
testimony is admissible in courts•
,of equity
and indeed in almost every civil proceeding,
except in trials at nisi Arius in the superior
courts, and that on the whole the balance of advan-
tages is greatly in favour of the principle, which con-
stitutes an important element in the attainment of
full and substantial justice, and is calculated to pre-
vent litigation from being carried to any undue de-
gree, when the parties are aware that they may have
to pledge their own solemn oaths in favour of the
accuracy of their statements, and the merits of
their claims or defence, as the case may be.
There is much to be said on both sides cf
the question, and we believe that, as in
most other cases, the wisest and most politic course
will be found to lie between the extremes on either
side—that the evidence should be rendered admissible,
but subject to certain conditions and modifications, '
to prevent its being resorted to on light and trivial
grounds.

The present week's arrival of English ,vVheat up to
our market coastwise has been very moderate, viz.,
2,220 quarters, mostly from Essex and Kent. By laud
carriag. and ,aereple the receipts in sh up this mortar%
were, limited, and of very middling quality. Owing to
the small number of both town and country buyers In
attenuance, and the large imvrt of Foreign Flour,
10.850 sack. arid barrels, ihe demands for ail kinds 41
Wh:lit, of home produce, was in a slugg6h state, at.
barely Monday's prices. Nearly 7.000 quatters of
Foreign Wheat hay., come to baud. Selecied qua.

middling anal inferior kinds so little was doing
that their value was aimost nominal. The total
supply of Barley was on the decrease. Good
malting parcels changed hands, at full quotations; hut
ether kinds were very dull. We had a lair inquiry for
Malt, and late rat-s were well maintained. With Oats
we were scantily supplied; the demand for that grain
ruled steady, at full prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
and Flour commanded very little attention.
