Patents in Great Britain.

Our London agents caution American inven-
tors against the operations ofparties in and a
bout Washington, who act in concert with agen-
cies in London, for introducing good improve
ments into Great Britain as soon as the patents
areissued here. They mention one case where
the inventor, upon reaching London, found to
his great modification that his invention had
already been secured by another, who had re-
ceVed it as a communication from some one on
this side. Cases of this character are represen
ted as not uncommon. We have no personal
knowledge upon the subject, and write upon
the hint our agents in London. 1t is very
dirty business to puron the invention of anoth-

authenticated facts come to our knowledge. i'm

the folowing:-
"The Union has spoken and the Administra-
ton backs out. But no; even backing out is
too raight forward movement for the Admin
istration or its organ. They slip, and squirm
and wriggle; they shift the burden Of response
blity from the Executive shoulders to those of
Commander HolHns; and then they pat him on
the back, ard tell him and the world what a
strong back it is, and what a wise head is atop
OF IT, and are indignant that any one could sup
pose for moment that heir hero could do any
thing that was not perfectly right he should do
And yet again they say that the Administra-'
tion must not be held responsible for every
thing that this terrible fellow did; because it is
not quite certain that he did exactly as he bid
TO do, must look at his instructions, and then
perhaps they will find out, and perhaps they

are anxious also to be informed as to its prog
ress, s,prospec4s, &c. We have looked anxiousy,
but IN vain, for list of premiums to be award
ed at the Fair in the fall, but we are not even
advised that there will be a Fairl What was the
object in organizing the Society? We cannot
believe that the intelligent farmers of your sec
ton of tie county and professional gentlemen
of your thriving young city, would be at the
trouble of organizing the Society without some,
definite object in view. Has that object been
attained in getting the first charter STATE
under the law passed at the last session of our
Legislature for the encouragement of agricul-
ture, or has it befsl lost sight of in the excite
ment created in your community by "that dis
ease" you have had amongst you which cannot
be called by any name without giving offence
to somebody, or that other disease, little less
fatal, but much more prevalent which has
caused such rush to the mountains and such
scratching up of dirt aud turning over of rocks
in search OF indications?
At the same time that state my unquali-
fed beiieGthat it has been the two latter causes,
that have kept the Society slumbering SO long.
and ask pardon for insinuating the other cause,
must be permitted to say that the delay has
been construed into indications not very fa-
those who have embarked in this cause, have
in other parts of the county as agriculturists
and men of business. And we believe further,
that if the last meeting had been held at London
and the n(rt appointed to be held at Kingston,
or Post Oak Springs either, that months would
not have been permitted to pass away without
anything being heard of the "Roane County
Agricultural Society" / make this statement,
not, for the purpose of making invidious COM
parisons between places, but because there has
been culpable neglect on the part of your end
of the county;(yo cannot expect the lower end
Of the county to attend your monthly meetings;l
and because l want the thing to be resuselta-
ted, and to go ahead and 60 some good. And
now gentlemen, members of the society let me
propose, that if you 'rHt not do any thing fur
ther to promote the cause, that you have call
ed meeting at Loudon and adjourn to meet,
some time not very distant, at Kingston, and
let US make an effort there What do you say
to this? Do not fall out with me for making
this proposition-it is not done ~ishiag you to
agree to it, by any means-for [ am well con-
vinced shat in this NATTER we will only have
sufficient strength in uaion-divide6 we must

Eng!ish Copy Right Law.

a very important decision has been recently
rendered in the English House Of Lords in a
question Of copyright. The decision is that a
work composed by an alien cannot be copyright
ed in Great Britain unless the author is resi-
ding within the Queens domnions, and owing
allegiance to her at the time Of It's publication
in Great Britain. This decision is Of the
greatest importance to all American authors
aud publishers. It's given too by the highest
judicial authority in the kingdom, and is not
subject to review or repeal. 1t may therefore
be tal,eu as English law hereafter that Ameri-

Know NOthinSs.

Considerable stir is made in the Democratic
narty in relation to the new organization usu-
ally termed Know Nothings. 1t has been de-
cided by that party, in this country. that every
candidate for Office shall take an oath that he
does not know, nor has he ever belonged to any
such organization. This will narrow the chan
ces of candidates somewhat, and will bring out
on the other side pretty sti ong demonstration,
1t is supposed. In the meanwhile, everybody
denies the knowledge of the existence of such
an order, and nobody belongs to 1t. 1t is sup
posed, by the knowing ones, that members Of
this Order are little like Topsy-they are not
born, but they grOac. At all events, they seem
to be invincibe, as well as invisible. They
come up in the night, overflow the ballot boxes
and then disappear. In the meanwhile, no one
knows anything, and the rule is, to "say nothing
to nobody" The whole affair is as clear as
mud. only it is little harder to get at, and is
not so easily gotten over. Does anybody know
anything? Saturday Evening Mall
