' ' ' It seems that the'owne patent, have purchased from Ross Wynant a pa tent for an 8 wheel car, for Rail Roads, and have had the same renewed by Congress,, for an addi tional term. - To persons generally, this" ffisy npt appear to be snj .Ling out ef the usual tour 3 of business, In ths management of pstenu jbutwhea examined, It is doubtless one of tbe meat nhbjuab log cases of fraud on . record. - The S-wheel ear was In nwlog btlOTe'.Winant patented it, of this he was so fully aware that hehu never attempt ed to assert his claim, except in tbe case alluded o, In the article annexed.- That Suirdoubllcss wu one of a kind fully understood; because It Is 4 presumable that a decision could have keen bad in less than five years, for the small vim of one. hundred. ''' After the decision a long artlolo ap pears stating Jbat after a hard contested suit, against powerful corpratio, he bad at dast ob tained a verdict. This hi all for effect the con temptable hue and cry against "powerful ccrpor ttoni" is merely to throw sand In the peoples eyes and to enlist sympathy. : Instead of this ths sym. pathy ought to be exerted in favor of these com. panies, for I venture the assertion that no class or Interest In our country, has suffered so math, or SAD ACCIDENT BT FIRE. "Wo h am from tho St Johhs (N. B.) Morning News, that on the 10th inat., a sad accident took place at Pier Jacques, In that Province. A Mr. and Mrs. Campbell were absent from home for a very short time, and during thefr absence, three little girls of the respective ages of seven, five, and two years, were left alone, : who began to amuse themselves by running round In a circle until tbey became giddy, when they fell on the floor, near the fire, and the fire communicating with their clothes, immediately enveloped them In flames. Whsn the mother returned home, the child five years or ago was dead, the elder survi ved but two hours afterwards. The youngest lingered for a few days, when death terminated ber sufferings. At a lumber camp in Queen's County, about five miles from Mill village, two brothers named Phelan, were burned to death by their camp ta king fire. The molancholy event was not known until sometime after it occurred, when it wu dis covered by a brother of the deceased who went to Tudt them. He found nothing but the ashes of the camp, and their charred and blackened re mains. A SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. The Annapolis Gazette states that a man call ing himself George W. Hammond, a watchmaker, rented a shop from Wm. II.' McParlin, Esq., of that city, on the 12th ult., and received several watches and pieces of jewelry from the citizens to repair, among them a valuable old "family pleco" from the Rev. Mr- Nelson, and two watches from midshipmen at the Naval 8chool. On the 80th ult. he closed his store, stating that he was going to Baltimore; A few days afterward Mr. McParlin received a letter from him stating that he bad received a telegraphic dispatch from Lou isville, Informing him of the indisposition of bis father, and that ho intended going on, but would send down a journeyman. But no journeyman came, and subsequently the shop was entered, when watches and everything else ef value was found to have been carried off c DEATH OF A LADY FROM GRJEF. Mrs. Agnes Boyd, of CinclnwH, K bald,vdled of grief, a few days ago, In consequence, of the decease of her husband. .During the ; week pre vious to her death she wa alhtosf cen!antly , oc cnpled In prayer, Interrupted at frequent Intervals by Incoherent maniacal supplications to her chil dren. She took no food or nourishment of any kind, save such as were forced upon her, and when the stricken spirit fled, the fair tenement U had occupied wu reduced almost to "skeleton. She wu only 29 years of age, a lady of rare accompli- ments, and the daughter of the Rev, Dr. Ocwgc of Philadelphia. t ...j 9 BRITISH VESSELS SEIZED BT PIRATES.

The wont feature about this everktiing Patent Offict system If that the inventor of an Improvement, Is the- last o be benefited by It.

At this late peri od, a claim is set up for a patent, by a parcel of Patent right spectators, and Congress it Is said, has been so thoughtless of the interest of their constituents, as to permit the tenewal of one of these "Piratical patent rights," which the man who took it out, wu uhamed to assert. The con sequence will be, that Rail Roads In the south, during this extended term will probably bo fleeced out of over two hundred thousand dollars, and for what 1 To benefit the worthy inventor 1 No such thing, but to enrich men who out hum bug humbugry itself in the management of pa tent rights. With such a gross abuse of tbe Pa tent Office, Is it not time for tbe people to think about tbe propriety of having It abolished 1 It Is hoped that tbe Press generally, will call publlo attention to these outrages on tho rights of the people. For if the Rail Roads are made to pay $200,000, it must be evident that the mon cy is just so much taken out of tbe pockets of the people, for it is the people who have built and who own these Roads. , , FAIR PLAY. aw ,- This alludes to an artlclo in another paper, too long for insertion here. Ammmt, Feb 17th, 1852. The owners of Woodwork's patent planlnr ma chine, are before Congress uking for an extension or their patent. " nas Been once renewed, and tbe owners of it have enjoyed a rich harvest, out of the concern. Yesterday a petition signed by 200 individuals of Albany, wu presented , to the Legislature, asking for Instructions to our' Sena tors and Members of Congress,to oppose the- ex tension ef this patent. The same Company, that own Woodwork's planing machine have got pos session of Ross Wynant's patent for the long eight wheel cars used upon Railroads, and are not en deavoring to levy contributions upon all the Rail Road Companies In the Unltod States for .their use. Wynant considered the patent of ha nee, and It was suffered to run out, without any effort to enforce his rights under It, for it wu Well Known thst cars upon the same principle bad been used long before either patents were granted to him,--This company, who now claim to run it, west to Congress -got the patent renewed, commenced a suitsgainst the Schenectady and Troy Rail Road company, and beat them, much against the opin ion of every person who heard the trial. ' The verdict taken was a nominal one of $100. The counsel for the Railroad applied for a new trial, but wu denied it, because the verdict wu less than 82000. These men now charge every manufacturer 830 for each passenger and 815 for each f.eight car mado, and the same amount to ths railroad compsn jes for their use. i k,. - f. . I understand tbe Harlem road have resisted their claim and a suit is now pending between them and the proprietors. ' These things are all wrong, and Congress should not renew patents In the manner that they do. This patent for long cars should bo repealed at once, for It was renewed without consideration, and there wu no good reason why. tbe patent should be prolonged beyond tbe fourteen years tor wnicn it wu onginauy granted.

' Tho tranquility of France was still preserved, and a pretty general submission to the new order of things wu apparent. The Abbi Lecordler, and M.

Joint resolutions in favor of constructing a ship canal across the peninsula of Florida have passed the Legislature of Alabama, and received the slg- nature of the Governor. The resolutions assume that the interest of the 8tates bordoring upon the Gulf of Mexico, as also thoso whose products find a markot through that channel, Is intimately con. nected with this enterprise. The military defen ces of their country, it Is also affirmed, would be greatly strengthened by the proposed canal.
