HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, Toronto, Friday, July 19.VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS.Mr.Christie, member for the County of Gaspé, rose in his place, and acquainted the House, that yesterday evening, during the De bates on the Question proposed by the Honorable Member for the East Riding of York, while he was in conversation, and, as he thought, in an under tone, from within the Bar of the House, to a person seated immediately outside the Bar, he was addressed in a rude and offensive manner by a person in the Reporters\u2019 box, (whom he imme.diately after ascertained to be a Mr Ure, Reporter to one of the papers published in this City,) who desired the informant to cease his talking, which, he said, prevented him from hearing what was going on in the House, or words to that effect.The informant was surprised at the rebuke, and the assurance with which it was made, but did not, however, reply.On perceiving, a short time after this, the individual who had soaddres sed him, retiring from the Reporters\u2019seat, the informant met him in the lobby on his passage outwards, and enquiring of him whether he were not the person that had accosted him as just mentioned, was answered in the affirmative.The informant then said to him that deeming the manner in which he had accosted him to have been impertinent and offensive, he, to avoid the necessity of reporting the circumstance to the House, had thought it best to appeal to himself in this private manner, that be might, if he deemed fit, apologize, and so put an end to the matter ; asking himi at the same time, whether he did not feel conscious that he had insulted the informant; requesting also his name.He answered that he did not ; and that his name was Ure.\u201c You were,\u201d he observed, *\u2022 talking and making a noise by setting two or three persons near you at laughter, so that I could not do my duty ; you were out of your place, which is at the other end of the room, while I was in mine ; and you were where you had no business to be,\u201d or words to that effect, and which were spoken in the presence and hearing of the Honorable member for the County of Essex, who, being close by at the moment, and in conversation with some one, intervened by request of ihe informant, and was endeavouring to persuade Mr Ure to make some slight apology or acknowledgment for the error which he assured him he had made; this, however, was declined.The Hon.Mr Sherwood, the informant believes, was also within hearing of what was said in the latter instance- On motion of the Hon.Mr.Baldwin, it was ordered, that Mr.George Ure do attend this House forthwith.The following petitions were presented :\u2014 Of D D Hungerford, Eequire, and others, of the County of Shefford, praying for aid to improve the piece of Road conneciing the Longueuil and Chambly, and the Chambly and Granby Turnpike Roads.Of H Robinson, Esquire, and others of the Eastern Townships, Lower Canada, praying for aid to widen and macadamize the new Road from Granby Village, Township of Shefford.Of George Mitchell and others, of Gananoque and its vicinity,§praying that measures be adopted to abolish all labor on the Lord\u2019s Day in the Postal Department of the Public Service.Hon Mr Price presented,\u2014Return of an Address of the 27th ultimo, for copy of the Report of any Exploration made by Mr Blaiklock or any other person, of any portion of Territory situate between Quebec and Lake St John, and also a copy of the Instructions given to Mr Blaiklock.Hon Mr Baldwin presented\u2014Return to an Address of the 27th ultimo, for various information respecting the Provincial Lunatic Asylum at Toronto.Hon Mr Badgley, from the Standing Commit\" lee on Miscellaneous Private Bills, reported on the Bill to enable Louis Comte to recover a certain amount due to him by the Parish of Saint Edouard, in the District of Montreal ;

and in like manner to fix the remuneration paid to Schoolmasters.The portion of the fifty thousand pounds appropriated for educational purposes, which shall belong to Lower Canada, shall be yearly apportioned among the several Municipalities, in proportion, to their population : provided always, that it shall be lawful for the Governor in certain cases of which he shall judge, to derogate from this provision, the money taken out of the share coming to any Municipality being nevertheless applied to educational purposes, each Municipality, in order to be entitled to its share of the School Fund, shall each year establish, to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Schools, that an equal sum, or such sum as shall have been fixed by the Governor, has been paid into the hands of the School Commissioners by voluntary contributions: ihe present laws shall remain in force as regards funds to be raised for the purpose ol meeting the engagements or contracts of the present School Commissioners, with regard to the building of School-houses ; and bo it enacted, ihat any unexpended balance of the moneys coming to Lower Canada, out of the general School Fund, may at any time be appropriated POST OFFICE NOTICE.rfflHB MAILS for ENGLAND via.the UNE IL TED STATES, will, U.STÏL FURTHER NOTICE, be CLOSED at the Montreal Post Office.EVERY MONDAY AFTERNOON, at THREE o\u2019clock NEWSPAPERS must be posted before 12 o\u2019clock noon.General Post Office, J Montreal, 7th June, 1850.\\\t8G be impossible to divide the amount icceived among the individual authors.u Glory,\u201d said Lord Camden, c\u2018isthe reward of science, and those who deserve it scorn all meaner views : it was not for gain that Bacon, Newton, Milton, and Locke, instructed the world.\u201d We would not therefore argue against an author\u2019s right to the profits arising from the sale of his works, as wisely restricted by the law ; but we must have better reasons than any we have yet met with, to obtain our assent to extending the privilege of the author to the manifest detriment of the world at large.¦dm - rttR\t___ THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1850.Copyright Law.\u2014We have received \u201c A New Englander\u2019s\u201d communication on this subject, but, we must confess, our correspondent appears to us to mistake the matter quite as much as Mr.Hincks does.The Hon.Inspector General takes upon himself to denounce the publishers and readers of English works in the United States, as \u2018\u2018 scoundrels,\u201d merely because the Legislature of that country does not think fit to extend to aliens the privilege of copyrighting their works within its jurisdiction.On the other hand, our New England friend, repudiates the idea of English reprints being any advantage to the people of the United States, and says, \u201c it would be a blessing to the nation if such works as Eugene Sue\u2019s, Dickens & Co.\u2019s, were never seen on this side the Atlantic,\u201d &c., &c.Now, what Eugene Sue\u2019s works have to do with the question, it would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to discover ; and as to Dickens\u2019s works, they are surely not calculated to demoralize.The idea of expelling from New England Libraries the entire body of living English literature, because he does not approve of that excellent soul Mr.Pickwick, and his somewhat numerous successors, is just about as reasonable in \u201cA New Englander,\u201d as is Mr.Hincks\u2019s sweeping abuse of an entire nation, because, in one particular, much disputed point, he cannot persuade them to adopt his views.We disagree with Mr.Hincks in toto, for we not only have the highest respect for the people of tire United States, but we especially approve ol their policy in refusing to foreign authors the right to deprive their people of the incalculable ad vantages of cheap literature.No nation that we know of places aliens and its own citizens on precisely the same footing, and England does not herself give foreign authors any right of copyright.It is true, she has expressed her willingness to do so to American provided America will do the same to English authors ; but is there any justice or com mon sense in her saying, because America declines the offer, that, therefore, her people are \u201c scoundrels\u201d Î The property of an author in the fruits of his labors, is, wisely, and for the benefit of society at large, restrict ed within much narrower limits than tire property in an estate or a chattel.The exisiing law of England limits the right of an author in his own works to 28 years from the date of their first publication.And why is it so limited J Clearly, because\u2014and after long and protracted debates\u2014tire British Legislature arrived at the conclusion that the product of mind, the fruit of intellect, was loo high and holy a thing to be desecrated into a mere money-valued chattel\u2014that the interests of humanity and civilization forbid its being left under the absolute and perpetual controul of any individual, not even of its producer.Great intellectual endowments are the gift of God to the individual, but for the benefit of the race, andhe who possesses them has no moral rigiit to restrict their influences within the narrow and selfish boundaries of pecuniary profit.Notwithstanding the truth and justice of this general principle, it would be plainly unjust to refuse to the intellectual laboure ruch a reasonable amount of controul over th^ fruit of his genius and toil, as would secure him an adequate reward, and therefore did the le gislature grant him an exclusive property in it for 28 years.We mention these facts to show that the property of an author in his works is, even in the eye of the English law different in nature and degree from that of a landowner in his estate orof a manufaciurer in his goods.The intellectual advancement of a people is a matter of much greater importance than the individual aggrandisement of even their benefactors, and while, therefore, each nation makes a reasonable provision for re warding its own authors, no nation has as yet \u2014not even England\u2014considered it morally incumbent upon it to extend the privilege of property to the intellectual productions of for eigners.The mere accident of tiie identity of language is a very poor and inconclusive ground, upon which a certain class of English authors claim the right of exclusive property in the reprints of their works in the United Siates.With equal justice might French and German authors claim a similar privilege in England, for the mere translation of their ideas into another language, is, evidently, an utterly inadmissable ground for their exclusif appropriation by the translator.We re.peat, then, we entirely approve of the policy of the United States Government in this matter, and we do so, upon two, in our opinion, undeniable propositions\u2014first, that no man is morally entitled to the \u201c exclusive en joyment\u201d\u2014the right of property\u2014in those in tellectual endowments bestowed upon him by his Creator, for the benefit of the whole human family\u2014he has no moral right to \u201c hide his light under a bushel'\u2019 and second, that the advantages resulting from the unrestricted spread of knowledge in any community are so incalculable, that justice and wisdom alike forbid any interference with it, on the part of the Legislature.We do not blame British or American authors for seeking from the Legislatures of Great Britain and the United States the reciprocal extension of their copyrights to both countries (although we think they ought to be contented with the pecuniary rewards deriveable from their exclusive right in their own, and with the extension of their fame and usefulness among other nations) ; for they would undoubtedly derive a greatly increased money-profit from their labors, were the principle conceded ; but we do blame them, and those who, like Mr.Hincks, support them in such a course, in their dog-in-a-manger denial of the use of their works to us colonists.Thus depriving us of intellectual food without enriching themselves by one farthing\u2014and as to the compromise of our paying a 20 per cent duty upon American reprints, it cannot practically be of the least benefit to them, and would be a decided injury to us.The expenses of collection have, we learn from undoubted authority, in Nova Scotia, exceeded the amount collected, and even were it otherwise, it would Toronto and Lake Huron Railroad.\u2014 We observe in the Toronto Patriot of Monday last, a correspondence relative to the feasibility of raising £100,000, towards the contraction of this important work, by levying a rate of lOd.in the pound upon, the assessed property in the City of Toronto.The plan proposed provides :\u2014 That each rate payer have a credit and scrip issued to him by the railway company, or by a person jointly appointed by the corporation and by the directors of the railroad, for the rates paid.That an account shall be opened for him, and that when the redemption is completed, he shall be entitled to certificates for stock in the railroad, in proportion to the rated value he has paid or may hold.The scrip being in the meantime transfers able at pleasure.The parties interesting themselves in forwarding this undertaking having\u2014through Mr.Capreol\u2014sought the advice of Mr.Holmes, our city member, the following is an extract from his letter in reply :\u2014 To me it appears most desirable, for the interests of the citizens of Toronto, that at any sacrifice, and at all hazards, the projected railroad should be undertaken and completed at the earliest possible date; the benefit it would confer on all classes of its community would be incalculable, and make Toronto\u2014what it can never hope to be unless a communication of the kind with the great Western Lakes and circumjacent States is opened a depot for a portion of the foreign trade of Canada.If you could again induce your Corporation to enter heartily into the question, and undertake it, by engaging a competent accountant, whose attention would be dedicated exclusively to the management of the books and accounts requisite to be kept for the purpose, it strikes me the plan suggested is not only feasible, but a means of removing some of the objections advanced by rate payers to the first proposal submitted for their decision.It appears to me the refusal to accept a proposition for imposing a tax upon rate payers of 9d.or l()d, in the pound, as the means of providing for so vastly important an undertaking as that which you have in view, would be most suicidal.T H E WEST INTELLIGENCE E R O M INDIES.Ey the arrival of the brig Falcon, Pitt, at New York, fil;s of Bermuda papers to the 16th inst.have bee* received, from which we make the loi-lowing extracts :\u2014 DEMERARA.Therejwas a petition recently signed by some of the inhabitants, and to which, we think, we made alii it some lime ago, praying His Excel-lency tlj- rernor and the Court of Policy, to adopt sty ,or assimilating the institutions ol the colony to ^Hse existing in colonies possessed of Councils a'ifd Houses of Assembly.On Thursday last the subject of this petition was brought under the notice of the Court by one of the elective members, the Hon.Peter Rose.Some reso.lutions moved by Mr.Rose, to the effect that his Excellency bo requested to transmit the petition to Earl Grey, were carried.MONTSERRAT.This island is said to be reduced to the lowest ebb of misery and wretchedness.It was once prosperous and contented, but is now on the brink cr ruin.Famine, pestilence, and death stalk tbiJUgh the length and breadth of the land in the most hideous shape ; half the inhabitants are starving, and the other half have not the means of relieving them.Insolvency stares every man in the face.The poor feeding the poor ; credit annihilated ; capital vanished ; commerce languishing; agriculture at a stand ; the landed interest uprooted ; and the shipping interest des» troyed.ANTIGUA.Theweather, we are happy to report has, lor the week ending June 20, been most propitious, and plmting throughout the island is being generally aid vigoroualy attended to.We cannot be sufficiently grateful for the bountiful rains with which the Island has been favored.TRINIDAD.The papers from this colony contain but little beyond the discovery of a gold mine, on the Sa.vanna, about twelve leagues from the Yuruary river, which has thrown the inhabitants ofTrini dad into a stale of great excitement.Already has a vessel been advertised to sad for these auriferous regions, should sufficient encouragement be afforded ; and the gold is said to be of a superior desetiption to that found in California DOMINICA.The inhabitants are busy in their endeavors to obiaiu a dissolution of the House of Assembly, bu the Lieutenant Governor had returned no amwer to their petition.ST.LUCIA.The most deplorable accounts sre given in the papers of the wretched state of Guadaloupe and Martinique.The first is under martial law, and the other likely to bo similarly placed.So high had party spirit risen in Martinique that the editors of the two papers, after slapping at each other at a distance, had solemnly engaged to end the dispute by mortal combat.The one who considered himself first insulted, chose the rifle as the weapon to be used\u2014distance forty yards\u2014 the other accepted the weapon, but demandeti 20 yards, as he was a nyope and could not see at a greater distance.His antagonist insisted on the hearty co-operation of all ihe foreign goverments that would punish those who deal in it as for a high crime, can put an end to the trade.And what chance is there for this T While long before the people of other nations will be so far influenced by the principles of Christian morality and phil« anthrophy as to give up the traffic on their own accord, the Chinese will be utterly and hopelessly ruined.Many of the foreign merchants here, who see all this, and admit that the traffic is last drawing the country to ruin, and who abstain from any direct trade, continually have to touch the unclean thing in their commercial operations, especially in the way of exchange and remittance from one port to another ; for the value of the drug is so great so overwhelming that it has become the chief currency of the forsigo trade ; and a merchant who does business here, to any large extent, is necessarily forced to avail himselif of it in his financial operations.He must do so, or conduct his business upon such disadvantageons terms, compared with hjsneighboers, that he would fail of success.Even the conscientious merchant at home, who wishes to have clean hands in the trade, must not send even a bill of exchange, tor it must be passed against opium money.One ol the most striking features in the traffic is the fact that the British Government is the chief actor in it ; that she raises about one half of the opium herself in India, and levies a heavy export duty on the other half.Thus deriving the largest profit out of it, and encouraging to the utmost its continuance.If the venerable sages and moralists of China could understand all this, and fully estimate all the evils the opium trade is bringing upon their country, who could blame the people for setting their faces against the E\u2019-glish foreigner es.pecially as a \u201c barbarian \u201c and a \u201cdevil ?\u201d Well might the Emperor of China complain against the Queen of England, not only for permitting her subjects to carry on the trade, but above all that she herself should profit by an file» gal and iniquitous traffic, which is slowly des» troying ihia great but helpless nation.The Pagan may well upbraid the Christian and taunt him lor attempting to introduce a faith which permits such conduct.Mr.John W.Davis, now our commissioner to China, has asked for his recall, and we wait with some anxiety to know who will be his successor.The office, indeed, embraces the functions of governor, judge and law maker so far as American residents here are concerned.(Reported for the Montreal Herald.)

and on the strength of such a pro.ceeding, the school money was pocketed.We trust the new bill will effectually guard against all such abuses, and ensure faithfulness and quafifi^ cation on the part of teachers.Dr.Meilleure\u2019s proposed plan of knocking education into the \u2018 habitants\u2019 by an army of constables, displays a commenduble degree of zeal on the part of the Superintendent, but will hardly answer for these days of Liberalism.Better send a regiment of Colporteurs to free them from the chains of bigo.try and superstition.quarrel was left at the last advices.MARKETS.Bermuda, July 10.\u2014Bread\u2014Pilot, per bbl., 17s ;

SIGNS OF REAL PROGRESS.If any intelligent reader will take time to think, even only for on hour or two upon the signs of the times, he will be overwhelmed with the vast and rapidly accumulating evidences of the speed with which the world is hastening to a true unity of all its nations ; how commerce is pushing her way, by the aid of science, into every part of the world, habited or uninhabited, land or water.And all these movements have a meliorating influence ; they band the nations together in a community of interests, with cords so strong that great gov.erntnents are almost compelled to settle their differences by negotiation instead of by battle.It is a sublime thought, crowded with visions of a bright futurity, had we but time and space to dwell upon it.The idea has been brought more vividly before us by the arrival yesterday at this port ofthe first British vessel from China, the William Stewart, under the liberal operation of the new navigation laws.We publish below a letter received by this vessel, from an American merchant in China, which will be found of great interest.Were it not for that bane of China, opium eating with ita enervating effects, we could suppose that China would speedily uplift herself from the burden of non-intercourse with other people, and be« come as one of the nations of the earth ; nor can she much longer delay the putting off of her ex- DEATH OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.(From ihe Liverpool Courier, July 10.) We have this week the mournful duty of an* nouncing the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, youngest son of the late King George III, and uncle of the Queen.His Royal Highness expired shortly before ten on Monday night, at Cambridge House, Piccadilly, after a short and painful illness.It appears that His Royal Highness was attacked by indisposition on the 13th ultimo, with cramp in the stomach, but after the severity ofthe attack had passed away, all danger was thought to be over.The Royal Duke was attended by Dr.Francis Hawkins, Dr.Bright, Dr.Watson, Mr.Keate, and Mr.Illingworth, and it was judged, up to within the last few days, that he would recover, although suffering from loss of appetite and much debility.The Royal Duke recently became so much debilitated and prostrated, not being able to sustain any nourishing substance on his stomach, that he continued to sink rapidly during the last four and twenty hours, until, at the above mentioned hour, his Royal Highness expired without a struggle.Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, who, during her royal husband\u2019s illness, has evinced the greatest solicitude, was at the bedside of his Royal Highness up to the minute of his dissolution, and it is needless to observe, is in a distressed state of mind at her irreparable bereavement.His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, on leave of absence from his military duties in Ireland, was also present at the death of his Royal Highness.The only member of the late Royal Duke\u2019s family absent from this country, but to whom intelligence of his serious illness was forwarded last week, was his eldest daughter, the Princess Augusta, at present with her husband, the Hereditary Giand Duke of MecklenburghxStreliiz in Germany.Directly after the decease of his Royal Highness, Major Baron Knesebeck, principal equerry to the Royal Duke, went to Buckingham Palace, to announce the melancholy intelligence to the Queen and the Prince.His Royal Highness Piince Albert, attended by his equerry in waiting, immediately proceeded to Cambridge House to pay a visit of condolence to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, and his Royal Highness Prince George.Prince Albert remained until a quarter before eleven, and then returned to Buckingham Palace, attended by Lieut.Col.the Hon.A.Gordon.A royal messenger was despatched to Lord John Russell with the sad news, shortly after the Royal Duke expired : also to Viscount Palmerston, by whom a cabinet courier was to be sent to the King of Hanover, the King of the Belgians, and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and the other connexions of the royal family in Germany.It is difficult to say what was the positive cause of death ; gout, and a complication of disorders of the stomach, are, however, stated to be the cause NEW YORK MARKETS, July 24\u20146è, P.M.Ashes firm with good demand for both sorts at $6.Flour\u2014Receipts large and prices favor the buyer ;

for the advantages which she derives from the legitimate trade are counterbalanced a hundred fold by the opium traffic.But there appears to be no hope for China in this respect, the love of the drug is loo widely extended among the people, the Government is too weak to act against it, and a remedy seems to be out of reach.££It is proposed by some to legalize the traffic, so that the evil which cannot be overthrown may be modified in some degree, and the drain of the precious metals be diminished.But I doubt if this would remedy the evil beyond breaking up the large bands of smugglers now supported.If the government was to legalize the import, and encourage the home growth, it must necessarily sanction the use of it, and all the restraints which now exist would be removed.The importation would still increase, lor the facilities of pro.ducing it in India are much greater than those in China.Nothing but the moat vigorous enactments on the part of the Chinese Government, joined to the 29th Foot\u2014Ens J C Langford, fm 35th Ft, to be Ens, v Baiemen, whose appointment has been cancelled.32nd Foot\u2014Maj Gen Sir R Armstrong, C B, fm 95th Ft, to be Col, v Lt Gen Sir J Buchan, K C B, dec.72nd Foot\u2014Lt J S Clark to be Capt, without pur, v Perceval, dec;

and this course is essential to the trial.Should the perpendicular only be tried, the superiority of either on the other two points would still be in dispute, and defeat the only object of the challange.1 would, therefore, refer to my former challenge, as explained above, and request its acceptance or refusal within three days.Should the \u201c Montreal \u201d prefer a friendly trial on the above points and not risk the loss of the money, I am willing to accede to it, my only object being to settle definitively the comparative merits of the two Engines.WM.MUIR.July 25.\tc\u2014126 SHERIFF\u2019S SALE.PUBLIC aileniion is hereby drawn to the Sale advertised to lake place on TUESDAY next, the 30th instant, in the SHERIFF\u2019S OF.FICE, in this City, at TEN o\u2019clock, A.M., of the following valuable Property :\u2014 FREEMASON\u2019S HALL AND THEATRE ROYAL.Montreal July 25, 1850.126 PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE nPiO all persons desirous of preserving health JL and wishing to retain or regain their strength, in hot weather, A VtBXT TO THE MONTREAL PUBLIC FLOATING BATIi;
