This speech ia reviewed by the Queen’s Advocate, and his opinion thereon is adopted by Lord Clarendon, in » despatch upon the subjact of the treaty, addressed to Mr. Crampton, and both the documents are communi cated to our government. The opinion and the despatch are, indeed, fut little more than the comments of the British Sicrstaey, of Beate is ee upon Mr. Claytoa’s speech. review ‘Bpeec in diplomationotes, t» which he had no opportunity of replying, Mr. Clayton very properly obj-cted, and pro- tested against it as an ontrage upon his rights as 2 Sene- tor of the United States, which it certainly is. ‘There was a manifest impropriety in the conduct of the British Miviater, Mr Crampton, in allowing these doca- ments to be sent to the Senate. When they were sent to the State Lepartment, an injunction of secresy was placed on them, which was not removed until three days after the adoption of the resolutioe calling for the papers. Crampton deubtless imagined that these attempts of the Bridsh government to refute Mr. Clayton’s arguments would Lave some effect u; public sentiment, if they went forth to the country, and he did not hesitate to author'ze ‘heir being sent to the Senate, notwithstanding the gross injustice of such s course towards Mr. Clayton. When Mr. Clayton gets the opportunity to make a full explanation of his views in to the matter, there can be no doubt that he will triumphantly vindicate his praition and expose the fal acy of the argument, or rather “dogmaiteal asserticns,”” of the British officia's.

There is, ip general. too much jeslousy of intellect and ingenuity, and a general disposition on the part of iguorance and inertress, to pirate the thoughts and inventions of others. Asa general rule, it may be said that most patentees consi the firet seven yeare of their patent they make enough to fee lawyers to prorecute pirates and robbers, and it is almost an even chance they do not make their expenses.
