      Assistance To Patentees.—It Has Always B...

      Assistance to Patentees . —It has always been a matter of regret that the grea . t inventors have not reaped the full reward of their genius and labour . Windsor derived but little pecuniary advantage , from the app li cation of gas , which has spread to every civilised community of the world . The inventor of steam is in the same predicament , and . iinfortunately , we cannot look upon a single article that has added to our comforts and our civilisation ¦ without being reminded of the same sad fact . In many instances their very names are forgotten , and thousands have made fortunes out of their brains who had very few of that commodity themselves . Many plans have been devised to prevent such inbeen modified

      justice , and the- Patent Laws have with some advantage , but still the great want— capital— " -hap to be found on equitable and reasonable term * ib the inventor . This is now proposed to be done by a JointrStock Limited Company , entitled •' Inventors' . Assistance Company ( Xiimited ) , for the General Promotion and Manufacture of Useful Inventions . " These intentions it proposes to carry out in the following manner : —1 . The establishment of an office where any person can deposit a model , drawing , or description of any invention or improvement he may have made , for the consideration of a IJoard of inspectors ( not less than three in number ) , consisting of scientific and practical men , each bound in a penalty of £ 500 to secrecy . 2 . The maintenance of a factory , with competent managers and staff of workmen , where all models , and

      inventions patented by the company , shall be manufactured for public sale , on a scale commensurate * vrith the impprtance of the article . 3 . The cprying out pf patents already obtained , or of inventions secured provisionally , for parties requiring assistance , and he patenting or registering such , new inventions as sb . aU have the approval of the company , as well as protecting them from the piracy of unprincipled persons , shrewd enough to see the advantage , and everready to appropriate the rights of others , when they can do bo with impunity . . There can be no doubt , pf ihe excellence of the object of this company , and there seemis to be every means taken to carry it outaaccessfully i and certainly anything that tends to improve the condition of inventors , and to encourage the vast fund of talent that is latent in the minds of skilftil operatives , deserves the best wishes of . all classes .

      The Ibon TaADB . —^ The quarterly meetings of the ironmasters terminated at Dudley on Saturday . Consumers have bought moderately , little more than sufficient for half the quarter ' s consumption , whilst shippers , although disposed to buy , have operated only to a moderate extent , leaving it open to them to come into the market as circumstances may require or favour the extension of their transactions . On the part of all the leading firms there was a decided indisposition to accept lower prices , this determination being supported by the fact that makers of the best descriptions of manufactured iron had orders enough on hand to keep the works going ; in addition to which there is such a steady

      though moderate demand , not from one , but from all quarters , that the prospects of th , e trade are such as will enable 4 j . ll ¦ who are not obliged to sell in anticipation of the natural demand to firmly adhere to the trade prices ; The transactions in pig-iron in Birmingham on . Thursday , and again at Dudley on Saturday evening , were on a more extensive scale than they have been of late ; and the stacking of pigs has gone on of late only to a very moderate extent . There are so many makers of pig-iron that it is almost impossible to quote prices with any degree of accuracy . The average quotation at . which sales were effected for good hot-blast iron was 31 . 12 s . 6 d . per ton .

      Port op London . —During the past week there has been rather more activity . The number of vessels announced inwards at the Custom House as having arrived from foreign ports amounted to 304 . There were four from Ireland and 172 colliers . The entries outwards were 105 , and those cleared ninetyeight , besides nineteen in ballast . The departures for the Australian Colonies have been four vessels —vizM one to Port Philip , of 526 tons ; one to Sydney , of 707 tons ; and two to New Zealand , of 1 , 249 tons—making a total of 2 , 512 tons .

      Minekal Wealth op New Zealand . —The journals Contain interesting accounts of Dr . Hochstetter ' s geological exploration . He had just returned from a visit to Coromandel Harbour , where the coal was examined and both goldfields explored . Mr . Heaphy and Mr . Ring pointed out a locality where a thin bed of auriferous quartz grit was known to exist , and the first shovelful washed yielded the usual show of grain and scale gold . Dr . Hpchstetter then dug and washeoV a dishful , which yielded a quartz specimen with a streak of gold through it of about the size of a hazel nut , together with a considerable quantity of large scale gold—a most favourable prospect , and in every panful washed the gold scales abounded . His opinion is said to be that there exists a great quantity of gold not far from the locality where the specimens were obtained , but that the search should be carefully prosecuted among the quartz veins in . the mountains rather than by digging in the alluvial deposits .

      Gold in Van Diemen'b Land . —The last newspapers from Tasmania ( Van Diemen ' s Land ) contain several further paragraphs respecting the gold discoveries in that island . At a publicmeeting at Circular Head an expedition had been arranged to explore the reefs of quartz ascertained to exist in the neighbourhood . It was said that specimens had been tested giving an average yield of eight ounces of gold to the ton , IS ounces having been in some cases obtained . Half a ton had been sent to Melbourne to be crushed . Gold

      had also been discovered on the Wilmot , a river running into the Forth on ita Western side , and on the Forth itself , above the junction of the Wilmot , and some distance below the ford at Middlesex Plains . It was therefore inferred that the gold producing area in that region is extensive . There was still , however , no certainty that it exists in quantities to yield an average remuneration for labour ,, such as may be obtained at any of the ordinary mining districts either of "Victoria or New South Wales . .

      Majdbas Irrigation and Canal Oowpant , — The Beport of the Directors to tho first ordinary meeting of the Company * is now before us . They describe the scheme and objects contemplated , and the proceedings so far aa they have gone .
