A NOVEL. 0 D.
" The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. Ile is a sv rater of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, awl by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage i which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.
" Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter sf Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1850.

Mr. CAUFg.&EL, the historian of the law of patents,
should be afforded an opportunity of appending a
supplementary chapter to his masterly work on this
department of our jurisprudence—a chapter record-
ing the triumph of the reforms so long and earnestly
required. Were it possible, we should rejoice to
witness the interposition of the Legislature in behalf
of scientific inventors prior to next year's great
Industrial Exhibition. A suggestion to this effect,
made by an intelligent correspondent of one of our
morning contemporaries, has revived to cur remem-
brance an evil long the subject of our mcst
serious consideration, and the almost simultaneous
appearance of a congenial article in the weekly organ
of CHARLES PIC3iNS tends to emphasise a necessity
now for a very considerable time recognised. The
pernicious influence of the present system has been
altogether too long and tco painfully experienced to
admit of much cavil or incredulity. Insomuch have
these ill-effects been perceptible that an effort was
made in the Upper House of Parliament to ameliorate
in some measure the condition of so large and intel-
ligent a portion of the community as that of the con-
trivers of chemical and mechanical inventions. In the
Act for the Provisional Registration of Designs it
was provided by the Lords that inventions hitherto
only protectible by letters patent, should, according to
certain arrangements, be likewise rendered subjects
capable of registration. Unfortunately the endeavour
proved abortive. Through the obstinate refusal of
the Commons to comply with the proposal motioned
by the Lords, patentable inventions were precluded
from the advantage of being provisionally registered.
The consequence of all this is obviously disastrous.
Either the public must be the sufferers or the inven-
tor. Either (through the incapability of securing to
himself a certain advantage from the results of
his own ingenuity by reason of the costliness of
the required expenditure), the would-be patentee
