FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENCE
LONDON, OcroBER "a, 1850.

~ LONDON, OCTOBER "a, l6ou
The ouly domestic incidents OF interest which
have occurred during the present week nave oeen
large meeting of the advocates OF q revision OF
our patent laws, and sundry proceedings IN relation
70 the establishment OF Universal Chamber OF
Commerce. The necessity for reform in our
patent laws has long been felt and the approaching
industrial Exhibition has very much increased the
CONVICTION of the people that unless something ma
teral is done in reducing the expenses of securing
patent rights, the English inventor will be placed in
: yery disadvaniageous position when compared
with those of other nations Many poor man Of
genius may have devised improvements in machin-
ery and manufactures, which he would gladly pro-
duce al the approaching Exhibition if he could be
projected in its ownership by cheap patent right;
but as he cannot afford TO pay for the present very
expensive one, he must either exhibit at the risk of
losing the riehtful remuneration Of his labor and
ingenuity, or confne his invention within his own
knowledge, and deny mankind the benefit which
would arise from its adoption. One of the speak
er's at this meeting stated that he had waited upon
member of Parliament to ask his aid in procuring
a reduction Of the expense of patent, when the
honorable M. P. frankly admitted that he did not
know what the expenses were. We are afraid he
is by no means singular in his ignorance. Another
gentleman stated the following as the expense ol
