We publish in another part of this paper fall re-
port Of the recent important decision of the House Of
Lords on the law Of copyright Some three years ago
Lord Campbell decided the case, here acted on by
the court of last resort, and under the law as he
stated it, American authors have derived consider able
profts from the sale of their works in England, and
have made arrangements, often of very profitable
character, which this exposition Of the matter
will nullify. Lord Campbell held that by the prnci-
pies of the common law, any author who should first
publish his work in England was entitled to copy
right; but the House of Lords decide that only
resident subject to the laws of the realm,
can enjoy that advantage. This puts the law
substantially on the ground as it now occupies
in the United States and equazes the respective
rights of English snd American authors. 1t must
however, be matter OF some inconvenience TO many
gentlemenwhO have been counting on an income from
the see of their books the other side of the water
The publishers there will now have the same unlim-
tied right to reprint the works Of any American
author that publishers have with respect to those
Of England. There is henceforth protection but
the courtesy of the trade and authors will hence
forth have nothing more to sell to the Murrays and
Benteys of London than copies of their books before
publication here renders them generally accessible.
These, however, must be regarded as of much less
value than copyrights indeed, learn that an i'm
portant historical work, for which BENTLEY had con-
tracted to pay fI000 volume in case Judge Camp
bells decision had been confirmed be is now to pay
only $500 for. We learn, also, that cheap editions
of many popular American books hitherto protected
by copyrights are about to be put out in London by
the pratical booksellers OF that city. Considering
the state of the law in this country nobody has right

CoFr-sronSenee Of The N. Y. Tribune.
BOsTON, Saturday, Aug. 10, 1854.
During the pendency of the New Hampshire cleo
ton Col Benton was asked il he had heard from Con
cord. Concord, sir there is no Concord; there is
mo Concord sir. The Democratic party Is fast go
"ing hellward." So might the leaders Of the Wing
party of Massachusetts, exclam in view OF the present
condition of their own party. For several years that
great party in Massachusetts, has been trying 20 con-
nit suicide And all the trouble has come from tle
leaders Of the two extremes OF the party-the Hunk
ers, Silver Grays, and the Free Soilers Between
the upper and neither milst0nes the party has been
nearly destroyed. An opportunity for restoring the
fragments and rednting the old party of freedom
seemed TO be presented after the passage OF the Ne
braska swinde. But there is no concord. The Con.
rier and The Commonwealth are determined there SHAH
be none. The counsels of such men as Quincy,
VALLEY and Chandler, on the one side and Wilson snf
Palfrey On the othef, are uDheeded. The only nopo
is that the win find means to make their
power felt and SO prevent another distracted ea"i-
paign.
There is some talk OF starting a new Wing paper
here after the model of TIE TRIBUNE. Ibefc seems

TEMPERANCE AND TIE CATHOLIC PRIEST
HOOD.

In the prolonged and ardous struggle for the sup
preston of ntemperance and of the liquor traffic,
whether by moral or legal suasion we have hoped to
bave the powerful aid Of the Catholic clergy but
have been disappointed. Not that we expected or
desired them to come into any organization outside of
their ecclesiastical system, or TO identity themselves
with any party;but it has seemed not too much that
their influence shOuld be openly and steadily exerted
in favor of a cause which is not only that Of public
order and security, but of good morals and religion.
We have looked to sec them utterng some decided
and fcrcble condemnation Of that trade in ardent
liquors, whose horrible consequences no part of the
clergy can have better opportunities of appreeang
than themselves We have hoped that they might be
led 10 use the authority they have especially among
the Irish for an ED SO benefcent and so necessary
Particularly now that much Odum is excited
sganst that class of population account OF their
political subserviency and habits it would
seem that the Catholic priesthood ought to spare no
effort that could tend TO put their ocks, al least
numerous division OF them, in another aspect before
tie community at large.
This hope does not seem likely to be gratifel. We
hear Of no movement among the Catho, hierarchy
for the suppression of this deadly and crime-gener
atng traffic. And yet there seems TO be great occa-
sion for fort Of the sort. We published the other
day q statistical paper showing that great majority
of the murders committed in this State are By Irish
men, and those lrishmen drunk But why were they
drunk, when there is an Archbishop and priesthood
with such powers OF moral and spiritual control among
their fochs Why is there lot reform Why is
there not total abstinence association in place of
every rum-holt kept by an Irish Catholic
These are not sectarisn or untimely questions.
They touch the vital roots of society. Ii is fact that
we have 4 great amount OF crime among us. IL is
fact that the highest crime murder increases Il is
fact that murders due ninety per cent to drum
keIness. IL is fact, that of the drunken murderers
large proportion are lrishmen. II is fact, that
these drunken numbering Irishmen are nearly all
Catholics. But leaving the drunken murdersrs out of
the question, msjority of the runlseers who make
that class drunk Of the sa ne origin Go through
the Democratic streets if you doubt ii look at
the signs shove the holes; when not ins Dutch"
they are sure to be Irish-unmistakably so. Go to
the bars of the rmholes look at the animals behind
them dealing out their liquid poison. and look at the
animals swilling it, and they all Irish Irish drunk
en- and Irish militant.
These are all facts. But certainly if the Catholic
priesthood chose, there could be reform. That
the evil remains and increases s one of the causes
for the movement of hostility to Catholicism now so
active and potent in the community. 1t is not
