THE. QUEEN V. CRAWFORD

Upon this case being called on, one of the parties concerned
applied for it to stand over for a few days, in order that coun-
sel might be instructed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in granting the application, ob-
served that he would hear it any day during the recess that the
parties chose to attend him in the country, provided they gave
him three or four days' notice, but that he should not come to
town for that purpose.

IN THE MATTER OF GRIFFITHS AND !SAW DA'S PATENTS.

THE ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.

This ease came before his Lordship upon the petition of Mr.
Griffiths, praying that his Lordship would order a patent that
he had applied for nn the 6th of December last, for the im-
provement in the apparatus and working of atmospheric rail-
ways, to he sealed. From the statements of the Learned
Counsel who supported the application, it appeared that both
Mr. Griffiths and Mr. Samuda had applied for patents for the
,Alue invention, the tormer in December, 1844, and the latter
in January in the present year. It appeared also that in
October, 1844, Mt. Samuda took out a patent for a similar
object in Scotland • and one of the questions in the case was,
whether the fact of a patent being taken out in Scotland pre-
vented one being taken out in England for the same purpose.
On the case being submitted to the Solicitor-General, he re-
t.orted that Mr. Griffiths' and Mr. Samuda's patents were for
the same invention; that Mr. Samuda was the original in-
ventor in Scotland, and that neither party were entitled to a
patent in England.
Mr. SWA NSTON (with whom was Mr. Petersdorff), on behalf
of Mr. Griffiths, contended that he was the first inventor ; that
Mr. Samuda had in a most unaccountable manner made him-
self acquainted with Mr. Griffiths' invention ; that the Scotch
patent did not prevent Mr. Griffiths from having an English
patent, and therefore that he was entitled to have it. sealed.
Mr. J. PARKER. on the part of Mr. Samuda, denied most
positively that he had become possessed of the invention in an
improper manner, or that the specification he had put in was
founded upon any knowledge that he had obtained of Mr.
Griffiths' invention. The Learned Counsel submitted that the
Court could only adopt the usual course in cases like the pre-
sent, where two patents were applied for for the same inven-
tion, namely, to refuse the seal to either of them.

Mr. SWANSTON having replied,
The Liam) CHANCELLOR said there was not enough in the
ease to lead him to the conclusion that the invention was stolen
by Mr. Samuda from Mr. Griffiths. He had a strung opinion
upon the point, that publication in Scotland was publication in
this country, and that after that publication a party could not
have a patent here. The points insisted upon on the part of
the applicants had to his Lordship's mind been answered, the
application must therefore be refused, but without costs.
The parties are therefore in the same situation they were be-
fore the application was made.
His Lordship will not sit again, except at his own residence,
till November.

ri‘ QUE EN 'S VI NIT
Toe lightning steam- vesrl, Mr. Petly, Master Cannier:der,
returne I to ich on Tuesday afiern,en, from Antwerp,
arid bought over the two pilots who navig,ted the royal
Vietcria and Albert steam-yacht. to th, latter port. The royal
yacht, with her .Majesty on board, ancherzid in the Lower
Hope on Saturday night, and at an early hour on Suoday
morning raised anchor and proceeded to sea, making an excel-
lent passage, being cnly four hours in crossing from the Fore-
land to Ostend, or fourteen hours until the royal yacht an-
chored at Antwerp. The weather at sea on Sunday was very
favourable, and her Majesty and Prince Albe. t walked on the
deck of the royal Victoria and Albert steam-yacht during a
great part of the passage. The royal yacht was past Flushing,
on her way to Antwerp, before there was any appcarance of
rain. Her Majesty and Prince Albe, t did not either of them
experience any sea-sickness, but evirlintly enjoyed the voyage.
The vessel anchored at Antwerp at twenty minutes before six
o'clock on Sunday evening; but, as was anticipated, her Ma-
jesty remained on board all that night and landed on Monday
morning at half-past six o'clock. Previously to the return
of the two pilots, it was arranged that Mr. Stuart and Air.
Emmerson should hold the mselvss in readiness to proceed to
Antwerp to pilot the royal yacht from that port direct to the
Isle of Wight, it being her Majesty's intention to land at the
island and sojourn at Osborne House for some time after re-
turning from Germany. It is also intended that the excellent
arrangement of only sailing by daylight should be adopted on
the return of her Majesty in the royal yacht, and the Queen
will leave Antwerp in the forenoon, and anchor off Flushing
for the night, and then proceed next morning for the Isle of
Wight.

SUGAR DUTIES.

Mr. WILLIAMS said, he wished to ask the Right
Honourable the Chancellsr of the Exchequer whether he
had reconsidered the determination to which he said,
on Friday last, he bad come, in reference to the
sugar duties? The reason he asked the question was, that se-
veral eommunieations had been received by him from sugar
merchants, complaining of the haste manifested by her Ma-
jesty's Government in coming to this determination, inas•
much as that those merchants had large stocks on hand,
and they would therefore be seriously affected by the change,
if a drawback were not allowed until they had disposed of
their stock on hand.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he
received daily several communications upon the subject of the
Hon. Member's question. But there existed great difference
of opinion amongst those who were most nearly concerned. It
seemed quite certain that if a future day was named for the duties
being taken off, no sugar would be taken out in the interval.
Therefore, upon full consideration, and comparison of all the
applications made to the Government, he thought it would be
better to say nothing further at present than that he would, on
Wednesday, be prepared to say what course he intended to
take as to fixing a day for the resolution to take effect.
INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.

Lord MAHON begged leave to put a question to the Right
Hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury, respecting the
negotiations which had been for some time pending with
foreign Powers on the subject of international copyright. His
Right Hon. Friend the late President of the Board of Trade,
had, in the course of last session, stated that some distinction had
arisen, but that there was reason to expect that the negotiations
would be brought to a satisfactory conclusion. What he (Lord
Mahon) now wished to ask was, whether any and what pro-
gress had since been made?
Sir 11. PEEL said that negotiations had been entered into
on the subject with France and Belgum, for the purpose of
giving facilities to the book trade in those countries and in
this. These negotiations were carried on for some time, but
they did not lead to any final or satisfactory result. Negotiations
were a! tvrwards entered into with Prussia; and after a certain
time, it was alleged, on the part of Prussia, that the law of
copyright in this country was defective, and ought to be
amended. Since that time, two Bills had passed Parliament
to amend the law of copyright. The negotiations with Prussia
were now renewed, and in the event of their being brought to a
satisfactory conclusion, these negotiations might be entered into
with other countries. If the result of the negotiations with
Prussia should not be satisfactory, he (Sir R. Peel) would have
no objection to lay the correspondence before the House.—(Hear.)

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY
nEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
JILF stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the offizial authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, 'Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, aid which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.

All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are Invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.

Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be forwarded by pest),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.

"We regard the work before as, the Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a nutority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must
however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indis-
cretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and Argus.
" The authors of the Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are. we
fear, too prevalent in the present dsy. The perspicuous atyie in
which this hook is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, caunot fail to
recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

It may be worthy of serious consideration, whether the state
might not very usefully make for these purposes, at a moderate
rate of interest, some advance regulated within such limits as
Parliament may prescribe by the amount which companies or
individuals may advance in aid of such operations. But on this
point we shall have occasion more fully to speak, when treating
of the Public Works Act. The funds which could be so re-
quired, would not, probably, be large in any one year, and yet a
great public benefit would be attained in increased employment
for labour, in the progressive extension of productive lard, and
in the opportunity thereby afforded for the location of indus-
trious families who may have been, from unavoidable circum-
stances, compelled to quit their former holdings.
A great variety of circumstances may influence the decision
of a proprietor as to the best mode of bringing waste land into
cultivation. If he has capital, or is enabled to procure it, and
is also both able and willing to give, by himself or a resident
agent, continued superintendence, he may find it best to engage
a portion of the unemployed population as labourers in bringing
the land into a remunerative condition before he attempts to
let it ; or, if be is unwilling to expend his own capital to any
considerable extent, he may often do much good by placing
industrious poor people in possession of ten or fifteen acres
each, erecting, at his own expense, suitable dwellings, and
snaking large drains acting also as fences. He may either
charge a small rent, rising gradually up to a certain fixed point ;
or else, reserving a full rent from the commencement, he may
allow annually large stipulated reductions for the improvements.
In either case the tenants should have a security, by leases et
sufficient length, fully to compensate them for their labour and
industry.
But these are minutia into which it would not be proper for
us to enter at any length. They must ke regulated by cir-
cumstances, and by the judgment of individuals.
We are desirous only of stating our opinion that, under pro-
per arrangements, the reclamation of waste lands, whilst it gives
useful and permanent employment to the labouring populati sn,
will, at the same time, produce a fair return for the capital em-
ployed upon it.

DEFENCE of the LANDLORDS of IRE-
LAND, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and
Tenant, and a Postcript containing an Extract from a Speech of the
Right Hon. the Earl of Devon. referring to the Condition of Ireland.
By W. W. SIMPSON, Member of the Royal Dublin Society.
John 011ivier, 59, Pall-mall ; Machen and Co., Westmoreland-
street, Dublin ; and to be had of all Booksellers.

Extract from. the " Times" of Nov. 9, 1844.
" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known anft deservedly respected
auctioneer and laud valuator, has recently published a Pamphlet, en-
titled ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarks on the
Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' "

The " Dublin Evening Packet," in reviewing this Work, gives tho
following character of its Author:—
" Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an English-
man of vast experience in matters relating to the improvement and
value of land in his own country. He is moreover a gentleman
of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understanding
naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling
sense, which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any
other rank of life.
" With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business,
almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac-
quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, per-
haps, as any man in his time to improve her resources, by en-
couraging the investment of British capital in every department of
Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond
the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality.
His testimony mast be regarded as invaluable as it is unquestionably
unimpeachable."
