Reform of tub patent LAWS.

Melbourne, June 16. In the Assembly, Mr Clark's Bill to Amend the Laws has been read a second time. In his address to the House }Ir Clark said the leading features of the measure were as follows:—The fee for letters patent was reduced from L2O to L 5, and the whole sum is carried to the credit of the Consolidated Revenue. The assess ment of tbe fee at this sum had been based fin tie theory that 'the Crown should not strive to make direct revenue out of patents, because the State derived an invaluable rain from the publication among its subjects of useful novelties in the arts and manufactures. From April the J9tb to May the 27th no less than, 41 patents were applied for. Of this num ber 34 were dealt with by the Examiner, and 7 referred to an expert, who received in.each case a fee of three guineas for under taking the labour of examination of specifi cations and drawings, and< comparison of them with those belonging to patents in issue, With this reduction of fees, economy of administration, and increased demand forletters patent, it was confidently antici pated that the revenue thus derived would --firstly, provide the salary of an examiner and clerk; secondly, meet the expenses connected with the printing, required; i&irdly, pay the fees of the experts necessi tated by occasional applications of extreme scientific technicality ; and. fourthly, leave I balance which it is proposed to judiciously expend in the -purchase and maintenance of a public library of patent publications, ancUn the construction of a suitable and CQmmodious Patents office. It might be  mentioned that since April 19th, the rc jluced fee of L 5 had been charged, but the present process o£ requiring a deposit of ISO, and afterwards refunding LIS, was »n awkward and circumlocutory one, which entailed unnecessary official labour in the Treasury and Patents Office, and which the present amending Act sought to obviate. The present cumbersome process of pre paring patents would be dono away with after the proposed Act had passed into law. Mr Clark proceeded to read a series of pro visions which would take effect in the event of the passing of the Act. Amongst other matters, the bill provided for a liberal scheme of provisional protection, which j_pijjd.be apconted on the payment of L 2.

DISLOYAL PROCLAMATION.

The following in hand-bill form was very extensively circulated in Sydney prior to tHe last Jubilee meeting :— I Republicans ! Roll up this (Wednesday) evening, at Half-past 7 o'clock, at the Ex _ibitibn building, and raise your voices against Imperialistic twaddle and syco jmantic gush. Remember, ; that every time you give "-three cheers for the .Queen?' you are assisting to perpetuate &syßte_a of government which is. totally opposed to the interests of the great mass'; of mankind. The meeting to aighff is not a question of "buns and Mk." Its object is to enable the pro moters to cable " home" that the great Heart of New South Wales, is bursting with loyalty to its, beloved Queen (who, by the way, sent only her sympathy to the Bulli widows and orphana-rr-the colony paying for the cablegram which conveyed the in formation). JDefeat ' the object of the sycophants by voting against .the Jubilee pmohstratiOns, and thus encourage your oppressed and starving brethren in Eng laadplreland, and Scotland to persevere ID their efforts to overthrow the Monarchy Snd establish a Republic ! 1)6 ; not ite. gulled by the statement that Great Britain would not have prospered to such an &xt§nfc under a Republic, as it has under thV'fifty years reign of our beloved and generous (?) Queen Victoria. Think of America, with her sixty millions of inhabi tants; and only two hundred and fifty thou- M-dpaupers, and of Great Britain with her thirty-six million inhabitants, and one mil lion and thirty-seven thousand poor. Aye, timk of it! jH America: Great Britain I IpJfyOOO persons, 36,000,000 persons, Kss»o paupers. 1,035,000 paupers. Thin" think of the salary of the Queen; L 819,397 per annum ; and. compare it with to salary of the American President, .1-10,000 per annum. Not only this. The Britishers have.—besides paying six hun *-Kd and nineteen thousand pounds each fkr to a do-nothing Queen—to tax them- Mfes. to support the Royal Family as oafe:—-•'' •■ -.
