with great interest. In the meantime, among civilians,

speculation is rife, as well as unfavourable, respecting the
value and bearing of military discipline, as the charms of
that mystery have unfolded themselves to the public ey e
in course of these investigations. They begin to suspect
that the high and chivalrous spirit, and untarnished
honour, which has been understood to regulate the mill.

demeanour, is a mere phantom of the brain ; or, if

real, that it is something very different from, and greatly
worse than that which regulates the conduct of less

ostentatious. but better men. It may be, that the lati-
tudinarianism of spirit and action, which has been proved
to exist—indeed to form the rule in HER MAJESTY'S 46th
Regiment of Infantry—is confined to that corps, and has
resulted from the laxity of discipline consequent on pro-
tracted homeservice, but it must be sharply and sternly
rebuked, or the character of the whole army will suffer.
The recent:i.decision in the House of Lords in respect to

lAmerican co4_-rights has once more thrown the question
" all abroad,":4nd the holders of these imaginary pro-

pertles are throWn upon their mechanical res:urces for the
protection of their properties. The first of these recent
strifes has been for possession of the field with cheap copies
of Mrs. STOWE'S " Sunny Memories," and the struggle
has been between Messrs. Low and Sos and Messrs.
ROVTLEDGE'and Co.; the former firm having on Monday

issued a two-shilling copy of the book ; and the latter an

the contest between Messrs. MURRAY and Born/ for the
title to furnish the public with competing copies of Wien-
INGTOS Invrso's works, will, in all probability, be re-
newed. Whether right or wrong in a moral point of view,
it would seem the law sanctions the unrestricted reprint-
ing of such works, and reprinted they undoubtedly will be.
The fact, it is to be apprehended, will, act disastrously
upon many publishers, who, believing the law would pro-
tect them in.the right, invested large sums in the acqui-
