" PROTECTION OF At EXHIBITED FROM PIRACY.
Office for the Executive Committee,
" 1, Old Palace, Westminster, 26th August, 1850.
" Sir,—ln reference to the eighth decisioa of her
Majt-sty 'a Commissioners, which states that arrange-
ments will he made for the protection of articles which
may be exhibited trow piracy of the design,' I am in-
structed by the Executive Committee to request that
you will inform your local committee that an Act has
been passed in the last session of Parliament which
enables exhibitors at the Exhibition of 1851, with the
view to obtain a protection from piracy for special
classes of articles which they may exhibit, to secure a
provisional registration of them, which is to last a year,
or even eighteen months, if su extended by the Board of
Trade. The nature of the articles and character of the
protection afforded are defined by the two several De-
t-ians Acts of 1842 and 1813. By the first (5 and 6
Victoria, c. 100) a copyright or pr party is given to the
authors or proprietors of original designs for ornament-
ing tiny article of manufacture for terms varying from
twelve months to three years, on pay ment of fees varying
from ls. to 3/.; and by the second Act (6 and 7 Victoria,
c. 65) a copyright of three years is given to the author
or proprietor of any new and original design for the
shape or configuration, either of the whole or any
part of any article of manufacture having reference to
some purpose of utility, on pay merit of a fee of 10/. In
both cases the copyrights are conferred and protected
from piracy by a penalty of from 5/. to 301, recoverable
either by action in the superior courts or by a summary,
proceeding before two magistrat--s. During the con-
tinuance of the provisional ragistration the proprietor of
the design may exhibit it, and may sell or transfer his
right, and at the expiration of the term may re-
gister the design according to the usual form. It
is necessary that intending exhibitors should
clearly understand that the provisional registration
conferred by the new Act cannot be applied
to any articles of new manufacture or invention for
which a protection by letters patent is necessary. lam
further instructed to say that there are reasonable ex-
pectations that the Lords' Committee of Privy Council
for Trade will be pleased to determine that the rights of
provisional registration shall be granted, without pay-
ment of any fee whatever, to all persons exhibiting any
urticles at the Exhibition of 1851, which would be en-
titled to claim protection under the above-mentioned
Acts, and that the Commissioners for the Exhibition of
1851 will be enabled to afford facilities to exhibitors to
.effect such provisional registration in the building of the
Exhibition. It will be my duty hereafter to transmit for
your information the rules which it may be necessary for
exhibitors to follow in availing themselves of this privi-
leAe. I request you will have the kindness to commu-
nicate this letter to the mayor of your town (if any)
and the chairman of your local committee as early as
possible.

"I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" M. DIGBY WYATT.'

REPRESEIVTA7ION OF THE UNIVERSITY

OF CAMBRIDGE.

CAMBRIDGE, AUGUST 31.—According to pre3ent ap-
pearances there is every probability of a contested elec-
tion. and that between two Conservatives, viz., Mr.
Walpole and Mr. Cowling.

It is allegel by Air. Co,,sling's supporters that he came
forward only atter Mr. Walpole had been solicited to
stand without avail. They assert that Mr. Walpole gave
a must unqualified assui-ance that he would not allow
himself to be put in nomination, and that he was then
told by one or the most influential of the parties who
waited upon him that he should, of course, consider him-
self at liberty to support and aid Mr. Cowling by join-
ing his committee. On the other hand it is stated that
Mr. Walpole only made such a statement because he
understood that Mr. Cowling had already entered the
lists and secured the suffrages c f a majority of the resi-
dent rn.mbers of the Senate, and he declined merely be-
cause he would be no party to anything like a division
of the Conservative interest. Certain it is that, should Mr.
Walpole determine to come forward. some of Mr. Cow-
ling's friends will be placed in a somewhat awkward
position. The requi ition to Mr. Walpole has received
the signatures of 46 resident members oi .the Senate, and
this is a formidable numb.-r when it is considered that
Cambridge is now comparatively deserted. The names
appended to the requisiti uri include those of several heads
of houses and professors. A deputation has set off to
writ on Mr. Walpole with it, avid his answer will be
made public on tneir return. There is as yet n.) au-
thentic announcement of the intention of a candidate in
the Liberal interest to offer himself.

MANCHESTER, AUG. 31.—We have to report another
week of cold and showery weather, which, however, does
not appear to have been general, or to have interrupted
harvest operations in the agricultural districts to any
serious extent. The trade has not, therefore, received
any material impulse therefrom; but a steady demand
has been experienced for flour, which the supplies, being
on a limited scales, have barely kept pace with, and fully
previous prices were consequently obtained. Oatmeal
has continued in fair request without change in value.
At our market this morning there was no new feature ob-
servable, a moderate consumptive business being trans-
acted in each article on terms fully equal to the currency
of this day se'nnight. New oatmeal was saleable in re-
tail at 23s 6d to 24s 6d per load.
GLOUCESTER, AUG. 31.—Our market is firm to-day,
and although the attendance of farmers was not nume-
rous, there was a fair amount of business done. E-
lish white wheat sold at 5s to 5s 6d per bushel;' redng 5s
to 5s 4d for new, and about 5s for old; foreign 4s 9d to
5, Bd. Barley is now becoming more in request as the
malting season is coming on. Superior malting barley

3s to 3s 9d for new. Good boiling peas 3.1 9d to 4s 6d
per bushel; gray 3s to 3s 9d.
Cirencester market was well supplied with both old
and new wheat. The latter varied much in quality, some
of the samples being much blighted, while others were
good. There is little alteration in prices since last week.
Best English white produced 5s 9d to 6s per bushel; and
red 5s 6d to 5s 91 ; second qualities 5s 31 per bushel.
Grinding barley was worth 25s to 26s per imperial quar-
ter. No demand for other descriptions. White oats 23s
to 25s per quarter; black from 19, to 20a per quarter.

At Devizes market there was a large supply of sans.
pies of new wheat, which generally were in good condi-
tion and of fair quality. The prices of last week, how-
ever, were barely maintained. A single prime sample
of white wheat was sold at 24s per sack, but the average
value of good white was 235; second qualities 21s; red
22s Gd for best samples ; and inferior 20s. Batley in
better demand at 21s to 24s for malting; and sa for
grinding qualities. Oats from 18s to
21s. Beanso must
be quoted at 16s to 183; and peas from 15s to les or 16s

brown 101.
WORCESTER, AUG. 31.—The market was fairly sup-
plied with both old and new wheat, and the prices of
last Saturday were fully maintained with increasin
firmness. English new white was about Sc 31 to 5s 9dg per bushel, and old red about the same price; new red
wheat sold at from 5s to 5s 31 per bushel. Malt-
ing barley looking up, and the currencies 3s 4d to 33 6d

Kidderminster market was but scantily supplied with
grain of all descriptions. Wheat fully maintained the
currencies of last week; if anything, the turn was in
favour of the seller. Other grain as last week.
At Stourbridge cn Friday there was plenty of new
wheat in the market, which sold freely at last week's
rates. Old was not so much inquired for, but prices are
not lower. The barley trade was better, and some good
sales were effected at last quotations. In beans no al-
teration. Peas in fair request at the prices of last week.
Average price of wheat 21 33 6d per quarter.
Stratford-on-Avon market on Friday was pretty fully
attended, considering the harvest is not all secured.

fully maintained, but the sales effected were by no means
on an extensive scale. Average price per quarter 2/. 2s.
4d. Barley looking up, and must now be quoted at an
average of 25s per quarter. Old beans Its 61 per bag
of three bushels, and for new samples lOs 6d was ob-
tained. Other grain as last quoted.
At Wolverhampton market there was an average
at endance of farmers and dealers, and a good supply of
samples. Wheat sales were chiefly in new, which found

few instances were improved upon to the extent of is
per quarter. The prices ran from 6s to 6e 91 per 721 b.
