MUSICAL REVIE REVIEW. Boosey & Co., London and tok Wee York, publish ‘the following :-— “Musical Cabinet,” Nos, 169 and 160, The former of these books consists of 12 piano works, by Robert Schumann. They are delightful little thoughts by the most renowned of modern Ger man composers, and for the family circle they pre- nent attractions like the tales of Soherazade in the “Thousand and One Nights.” Trey were written, like the second book—Sceyes at a Ball”—for young folks, He originalyy intended to call the eycie of toue pieces contz.jnea in the latter book “fhe Children’s Ball”. when he played them through With his wite (they were for four hands originally) he de*‘.gnated the different scenes that occur #abaD, They are creations of the most agrecable nq, The present editions of this well anown L“,ndon house combine neatness and acou- ith cheapness. “Yvelsh Choir,” compiled by Brinley Richards. Pais book contains a dozen of Welsh songs, very @everly arranged tor four voices. From the num- Ders before us, it is not easy to form a favorable ®pinion of Welsh mastic, The melodies have a sus~ picious favor of the modern ‘Tramp, tramp” ditties, with which this country was aflicted during ‘the civil war, The opera editions, published by this house, are admirable for their neatness, completeness and Yew price, The editions of masses, oratories, “eantatas, glees and instrumental music of all kinds follow the same rule. It would be well if some of our American publishers would take @ lesson from the house of Boosey & Co. in this respect. Edward Scnuberth & Co., Union square, pudlish the following :— Avery beautiful edition of Beetheven’s Festival everture, “Weihe des Hauses,” very well aranged for the piano by Ernst Pauer. Variations on “Home, Sweet Home,” by Lange. @f al! the transcriptions which this familiar home melody has undergone we have never seen one more worthless than that of Mr. Lange. “Mariannen Schottish.” Weingarten. £ntirely ‘unworthy of this favorite dance composer. So 1s the galop, “Through Thick and Thin,” by the same. The “Jubilee Lancers,” by this composer, cannot be regarded as worthy of a musician’s commenda- tion. “Legend.” Francis Korbay. Rather incompre- hensibie, as the composer makes a vain attempt to produce strange effects without reference to laws of music. He is evidently a aisciple of the school of the future. The best editions of classical works from European houses may be found in the establisn- ment of Mr. Schuberth. He has cuiled from all the German and French publishers to an extent that leaves nothing wanting on the score o/ oveity. Louis Berge, Fourteenth street, publishes the fol- Jowing :-— “Savinelli’s Vocalises,” “of the highest style of periection for the right art of singing,” in two books, This gentleman has admirably succeeded in col- Jecting together the best morceanux of the classical opera. Whatever may be thought of his claims to originality, his exercises Must attract attention, ‘as they are well adapted to render a vocal pupil an ‘dept in the music in which Nilsson and Lucca have ‘won their choicest laurels. “ave Verum.” Albites.

C. A. Cable. graceful and expressive melody. George Willig & Co., Baitimore, publish the fol- lowing :— “Thou Hast Said.” Hymn. Albert Holland. A peurile, trashy composition. “A Voice from the Heart.” Piano solo. J. E. Magruder. A very worthless specimen of ~The Maiden’s Prayer” order. “Ml Pirata.” Fantasia. Leybach. Variations of ®@ popular and easy Kind—pleasing, perhaps, to young pupils, but not of the standard of merit to be expected from this composer. “Spring of Life.” Waltz. Jonas Rosenfeld. A very crude efort at musical composition and full of mistakes. “Maiden’s Hope.” Impromptu. Albert Steiner. Dull, dreary and uninteresting. The lady in ques- tien has little to hope for in such music, “Stars the Night Adorning.” Serenade. J. B. Wekerlin. Asimple, pretty little melody, with lit- te claims, however, to originality. “Pas de Charge.” Morceau de Salon. Tito Mattel. ‘Very commonplace and unworthy of such a favorite composer. “Demerara.” Polka mazurka, Dr. 0. Becker. Rather pretty and good tor dancing purposes, ail- though of the most hackneyea character of ma- surka. “Fact and Fiction.” Romance for piano and violin. Joseph Wissert.

Failure of the Engineers’ Pittsburg. PirTsBuRG, Pa., Jan. 1, 1874. The strike of locomotive engineers has about spent its force, and it would appear that victory must reward the perseveranve, determination and influence of the railway officials. The strike was inaugurated at a season of the year when much skilled labor was indulging in | forced holidays, else it could not have been other- wise than successful to the strikers. Indeed, they have stuck together determinedly, and even to-day maintain the justice of their strike and express | their conviction that the railways must yet give into them. Your correspondent was informed to-day by one of the strikers, a man of good intelligence, that of the men who went out and have returned to their engines not one bas shown the white feather, and that their reinstatement at the old wages is but A QUESTION OF TIME, Fresh hands nave been put on the locomotives, | but they are practically unfit for the positions, and should not, he s.id, be trusted with human Ireight, | and as jor engineers for ordinary freight, despite of assertions of ratlway officiais, not one-third the Sin oe required are forthcoming. J. N. McCollough, General Manager of lines west of Pittsburg, maintains that all the engineers se- cured are competent and trustworthy, and points to the absence of railroad accidents as proof of his assertion. He says men are reporting for duty as fast as engines can be got ready and the business of the road will be fully resumed within the next 24 hours, the o; ORY delay being that caused in get- ting men and @hgines to their places.

THE PIRE IN BRIDGEPORT, CONN. Brrperrort, Dec. 31, 1873. 4 fire, which for suddenness and at the same time destructiveness has seldom been equalled, took place in the city this afternoon, wiping out of existence Hotchkiss & Son’s large hardware and fancy and woodenware establishment, The build- ing, which was of wood, three stories in height, ‘Was recently completed, ana the company had been for some time putting in new and approved machinery. The valine of this may be computed by reference to the fact that policies of insurance on it and the building and two adjoining store- honses to the amount of $100,000, taken in 18 or 20 insurance companies, had been completed, THE ALARM. At three o’clock men were pageese af usual in the building, when the cry of ‘Fire’ was heard. Efforts were made to suppress the flames, but, these failing, the city fire department was called out. Arriving at the scene it was found that water could not be obtained, The tide was out and the only thing possibile to be done was to bring water in hose from a city hydrant nearly or quite 2,000 feet distant. The city fre engine steamers were in readiness meantime; but, owing to the above mentioned delay, the fire got the ascendency. A VAsT CROWD of citizens were in attendance, but were power- less to do much beside gaze at the advance of the | devouring element. THE SUFFERERS, The Messrs. Hotchkiss formerly cagried on busi- ness in East Bridgeport. They sold their building and machinery one year ago © the Howe Sewing Machine Company. They are an enterprising firm and had laid plans to take and fii large orders. The destruction of their building, while it is a heavy blow to them, will but temporarily inter- fere with their operations. During the prog: of tne fire the wind blew strong irom the west, but Meg 3 to the snow laying on the surrounding roofs no trouble resulted irom the clouds of cinders which fell to the leew: AOOIDENTAL &HOOTING, Fritz Jaeger, of No. 810 Second avenue, and John | Oxksneis, Of No, 409 Fifth street, were loading a pis esterday, when it exploded, wounaing Jaeger in the face, and causing pathiui and serious wounds, TA DROWNED WHILE ILE SKATING.

At a moderate estimate taree-fourths of the manufacturing Industry of dis country rests directly upon machinery and processes secured by letters patent. Whatever, therelore, gives greater security to the improve- ments projected by the inventor promotes | in an equal degree the prosperity of the manufacturer by whom the improvements are adopted and placed in the market. Since the enactment of tne first federal patent law, in 1793, upwards of 145,000 patents have been issued in this country. The first of these was for an improve- ment on Arkwright’s spinning machinery, which was, at that time, wholly unknown here, and later in the same year the specification of the cotton gin was filed. From that day to this there has been scarcely a single addition of any consequence to the technical arts of this country that bas not been protected in the same way. Witness the Rodman method of casting large cannon, the revolver in its Practical form, the sewing machine, the electric telegraph, the Corliss cut-off for engines, the mow- ing machine, the use of ether as an anesthetic and hundreds of others. The manutacturing supremacy of England has peen built upon the patented inventions of Arkwright, Dudley Cont, Cartwright, Watt and Stephenson. In both cqun- tries invention has been stimulated by efficient patent laws, which say, in effect, to every projector, “Make @ valuable improvement in any useful art, and you sball have the opportunity of acquiring weaith by the ‘exclusive making, using and vend- ing of your improvement,’ and after the ex- piration of that period we, the public, will use it Without let or hinderance.” This is both justice and expediency and has been in- corporatec into the statute law of no less than 56 different nations, colonies, &c, In Jand this practice was embodied in legistation so long ago as 1623, and although France .Uy 791 was the neXt to pass a general patent law, our own country was the first alter England to adopt by usage @ patent system. The earliest American patent was granted by the General Court of Massachusetts in 1641, 232 years ago, to Samuel Winslow, for a new method of manufacturing salt. This patent was for a perioa of 10 years. Other patents were subsequently granted ay Massachu- setts, Connecticut, New York, &c. In compara- tively recent times Robert Fulton’s patent on his steamboat wus granted by this latter State. Patent protection to inventions has been In suc- cessful practice during a period of two centuries and a half, and 1t 18 therefore en 4 that the further progress of bringing it within the scope of international comity should find its most active promoters among us, Who stand foremost in the world in the number of inventions annually brought. forward, a8 well as in the industrial utility tbereot andin the thoroughness and practicability of the system adopted to tnsure to every projector pro- tection on just what he has invented, and nothing more. Yhe movement to promote international patent protection is one fraught with dimcuity, and suc- cess can only be found by the establishment of broad principles as a basis Of action in common for all countries interested, and a most careful at- tention not pak to the interests paramount in certain nattons, but also to the prejudices prevail- ingin many of them against any patent system whatever, Even in England, where the utuity of patents has been sell-demonstrating for genera- tions; in France, Where inventions called lorth by the fostering agency of a good patent law have passed into the industries of the world, and in Bel- gium, made by the same means the workshop of Europe, thers is a strong anti-patent sentiment. And such @ sentiment is found practically ascend- ant im Austria and Germany, whose patent laws are faulty and inefficient in’ the extreme, and ab- solutely dominant in Switzerland and ‘Holland, where patents are not wanted at all, The advo- cates of the abolition of patents find their chief ar- guments in the deiects Of existing systems, not in the ethics upon which they are founded or in the general resu!ts Wrought out by them. It is idle to despise these epponen however mistaken their views may be, their overthrow dg oes and ‘au will be tne most immediate, some respects the mogt pobtens, ipuits of a system of international patent jurispru- dence. And the first see ~owards this must be the remedy of the defects that exist in the patent sys- tem ofevery country where patents are granted. Our own 1s, all things considered, superior in use- falness and ease of administration to any other; but it has its salient faults, and perhaps the Wash- ington Convention can hardly ao better than to advocate reforms that will place us at least one step bearer that common ground upon which it is = avowed object to bring other civilized coun- ries. Foremost among these reforms should pe the aboliton of modeis for the Patent Office. No other country (except Canaae, whose law is modelled upon our own) requires them; they form no part of the letters patent when granted and subject the inventor to useless vexation and expense. It is desirable that different countries should approxt- mate in their practice in the issue of patents, and no European nation will be willing to add this anomalous and aseless requirement to the defects acknowledged as now inherent in their own prac- tice. Again, all experience shows that an examination ag to the novelty of the alleged invention should be made betore the issue of every patent. This has been the American practice since 1836, and by means Of it an American patent means something, and 1s prima Jacieevidence of novelty and utility. But abroad patents are sometimes granted over and over upon the same improvement, and, of course, all but the frst are worthless, The intro- duction ofexaminations abroad was Dir eran by the Vienna Congress and its advisabilit, manifest. But tts can only be carried into e! ect when other governments possess the sate facill- ties for the work as ourown. The publication, with engravings, of all American inventions patented previous to the adoption of the present Practice of publication—and so long as rejected cases form a basis for rejecting subsequent applications, of these as well—will be ne- cessary belore otner countries can adopt the salient, and to imventors the most valua- ble and protective feature, of the American jaw. Of course, this should, in time, followed by a similar publication ot Joreign inven- tions. But this would require little on the part of the English, whose patent reports are marvellous in their completeness, while the abri: ents pub- lished at a ‘ow price orm, though badly arranged in some respects, very complete digests of all the English patents, With France and Belgium the case is differcht, ary yblication as above sug- gested is last becoming Meoega x not only to the efficient working of their patent practice, but to the progress of their industries as well. There care 8 opher points of ‘hich I would like to speak, but 0 munication is ae much longer than I at first intended. If the Washington Convention will bend to its work with a determin. ae to bring “pee Loca y reforms by practi fs, it ly fail to benefit the mtire in- ee worl con Hong to the universal recog- nition of the he t ofinventors to perfect and re- munerative patent protection for ed fruits of their genius.
