But. ere the sentence \vas concluded,
Ellen had started from the sofa," and
suatclied the fatal paper from the aston-
ished Mrs. Ashford. It was no mistake
-—no error-there it stood ’glaring,'as- it
seemed to her, into her very soul, and
the vagiie and unfounded hope that she
had so long secretlv cherished was swept.
away for ever! She was forgotten-—ut.-‘
tsrly-forgotten ; what. more had she to
(l0z\\'lLl‘l life.

She fell with a heavy groan upon the
seat fromwhich she had arisen, her face
buricri in the .pillow. Her companions
looked at each other in astonishment-, for
her strange and sudden emotion ‘had
startled them from their . presence of
mind. When they approached the sofa
they perceived a small, dark red 8 Cfefim
ti-icltliiig over the pillow ; they lifted her
head from itsresting-place, and saw that
the lov.*.=r part of her face was covered
with the same fearful hue. She had
burst a blood-vessel. =

She never spoke again, although she
lingered for afew days. The news of
her illness was tranrmitted to Mr. Da-
cre’s agent, and through him to his ‘ em-
ployer: but long before it reached -him
in the distant country where he was
spending the honey-moon with his young
and beautiful bride, the grave had closed
over the emaciated form of the guilty'

_ How to Improve a Business.
Col. Maurice who has ;opened his

splendid store in Chestnut street below
Fourth, Philadelphia, ascribed his success
in business to judicious and liberal adver-
tising. In a speech he made to the
Press, on the occasion of his opening his
new store, he said: .
"I appropriate every year, fifty pe

cent. of my net profits to the use of-
“Printer’s Ink.” Many of my old fogy
friends attempted to reasom with me,~:,on.
what they considered the folly of throw-
ing away so much money on silly ad-
vertisemeuts-—for, gentlemen, some of
my advertisements were alittle funny,
and rather out of the stereotype style.---
I found, however, that they were not on-

The Arabs and the Magnetic Tele-
graph.-‘The Paris ‘correspondent of -the
New York ~.Commerci‘al says: ' ._

"The firstelectric felegraplfin Algiers
wa§' inaugerated a fortniglit ago by the
prefectof Oran and Gen. Daumas, the
military headof the colony. The first
message was sent by an:Arab, who asked
the price of a‘ ‘mare for sale at Mostaguem
the ‘second "was"-relative to the purchase
of a’ basket of dates, and ?the third was
about a missing :pound of tobacco. The

igrdph wasdsorne sort of a contrivanceqfor
surprising’ peoples’ secrets, and ‘purpose _
ly proposedqiiestions of very little signi-
ficance, in order to baffle the prefect.-
The‘Echod’ Oran, which reports these
details mentions the laughable fact, that
all the slié'iks',afid prominent ‘ Bedouins

ly read but remembered. This was just
the efiect I wished to produce. Ialways
listened respectfully to their remonstrar.-
ces, and then told them that in five years
if God spared my life and health I would
outstrip them in the race, unless they cut_
themselves loose from their old fogy and
Rip Van Winkle notions and kept up
with he spirit of the age: my business
grew up around me like a little ‘child,
each succeeding week being better‘ than
the last, until I now can boast of having
what is considered by many of my friends
the model Bank Book and Stationery
Establishment of Philadelphia. It is my
intention to keep a large assortment of
the best quality of goods, and then with
the mighty power of the Press, which I
consider second only to Omnipotence it-
self, let the “whole world and the rest of
mankind" know where they can be pro-
cured, and by selling at the lo_west price;
hope to keep my little bark sailing before-
ilie wind with all her colors flying.

“It is a great satisfaction for men, gen-
zlemen. of the Press, to know; and I
have no doubt it will be equally gratify-
ing for you to learn that in the thousands:
of dollars which I have appropriated to
advertisements I have never had occa.
siou to dispute :1 single bill from any of
your offices, nor have I ever suffered a
hill to remain unpaid after it was due.---
I give you in conclusion the following
sentiment:

“Nqlad: Truth.”-—-The late eccentric
John Holmes used frequently, in his ad-
dresses to different juries, to explain the
meaning of the phrase,,"naked truth.” by
relating the following fable: _

Truth and Falsehood travelling one‘-
warm day, met at a river, and both wen_t.
to bathe at the same place. Falsehood
coming first out of the water, took his
companions clothes and left his own vile

within one day’s sail from New ‘York,
Tuesday, Aug. 23, Capt. Stephen Fuller
of Windham. His body was boxed up
and sent home for burial. The disease
was inflammation of the bowels. A per-
son on board happening to recognize the
Captain, took - charge of the body and

~ brought it home to his family—but for

this it wouldhave been conjimittedto. the

Valuable Hint to dricers.—If you are
driving aspirited horse, and should see a
dozen or soiof men, women and children
at the street crossing, endeavoring to get
out of your way, instead of slackening
your pace to give them a chance, you
should lay on the whip, and go through,
hit or miss, with flying colors. By so
doing, you will not only be showing off
to the best advantage the fine points of
your horse, but will also demonstrate
vthatyour time is of great value to you-
besides giving the people an adequate
idea of importance. If you are making
your way out of an alley to gain the main
avenue, drive across the sidewalk as if
you were contending for sweepstakes.-

pedestrians the aecessity of being con-
stantly on the look out. By thus caus-
ing them to be more watchful for-the
preservation of -. .1heir lives, you will be
justly entitled to be regarded asa philan-
tliropist.—Memphis Whig.

The Pacific Raz'lway.—The subject
now under discussion in the public minds
is not whether it is feasible, or whether_
it will be built at all, but what is the
best route. Besides the government ex,
plosations, Col. Fremont has undertaken
one of his own responsibility, and others
are being made in corporate funds. All
‘these explorations will be of service as

I eliciting all the information whichcau be

obtained regarding the practicability of
the different proposed. routes. We are
sorry to see, in such a great national
work where real feasibility is of para-
mount importance, that party and politi-
cal and sectional feelings are interming-
ling. It certainly is not best to advo-
cate the Northern route because it will
pass through free territory, or the South
route, because it will pass through slave
territory. The question ought rather to
be, what is the best route for the great
commercial purposes for which such a
road is designed. Let its advocates be
cautious about rousing up sectional prej-
udices in its construction.

It is now, said that the reports made
from those who have thoroughly examin-
ed the route by the Yellow Stone are un'
favorable. The Tezas route has been
pa;-ria|:y examined. Gen Orville Clark,
who, with Philip Greely of Boston, and
Gov._Paine,_of Vermont, has been on an
exploring party, has returned with valua-
ble surveys and estimates. We look
with more interest on the explorations of
Col.-Fremont, and trust that he will dis-
cover a feasible path.

The Eastern question shows new fea-
rures of alarm, but as yet there has been
no act of hostilities,‘ It has been already
mentioned that the Ulemans had presen-
ted a threatening address to the Sultan

 

calling upon him to declare war against
the Russians or to resign. Enquiry
proved that the Ulemans in this matter
were acting at the instigation of the po-
litical war party, at the head of whom
is Mehemet Ali, the Sultan’s brother-in-
law. They persist, however, that war
was demanded by the Koran and by the
circuinstances of the Empire. The Stil-
tan refused to sign the warlike declara-
tion. They declared against Russia, and
there washsome. possibility of a riot.-
The French ,and. .. British Ambassadors,
therefore, sent for assistance to protect
the Sultan and Christian - residents.-—
Four steam frigates two French and two
Engliiiii, immediately passed the Darda-
neiles and came to anchor before Con-
stantinople, where they now remain.-
The British. ships were the Niger and

Gomer and Mozeder, all four under the
command of Rear Admiral Barriur—-De-
tini. Besides these, Admiral Tinna has
under his orders the British ships Retri-
bution, Fury, and Coradore, and four
French frigates. ‘

The Daily news of the 29th states that
Admiral Dundas has received orders from
the British Admiralty to move with the
whole British fleet from Beisca to Can-
stantinople.

The Cologne Gazette further intimates
that Austria is endeavoring to quarrel
with Turkey under the pretext of indem-
nity due to Austrian subjects.

The Trieste Gazette states that Rus-
sia demands the province of Daviston in
payment of expenses‘ in occupying the
principalities. This province possesses
valuable mines and forests, and commands
Baghiston and Circassia. ’

Confident expectations are expressed
in Europe that American privatee rs will
not accept letters of marque from Russia_

England and Russia.
It seems strange to us here, at a dis-

tance, why England should have been

-so ready, as she has proved to be, to sub-

serve the interests of Russia. Her own
commercial interests in the Mediterrane-
an point to the support of Turkey. Rus-
sia is her great rival, and she will soon
feel -that rivalry in her Indian empire.—
Hence, it would have been supposed
that the ‘Russian troops could not have
crossed the Pruth without creating a
war. Some newspapers have ascribed
this course to the incapacity of Russell
and Aberdeen, but some of the late En-
glish papers throw the blame of :all this
subserviencyupori the influence ‘which
Prince Albert exerts over the govern-
ment. These writers show how ‘closely
related the Cobiirg family are to the
present Russian dynasty. This Coburg
family appear to exert a great influence
over the reigning family in England. -
Leopold, present King of Belgiurti, who‘
married George IV’s daughter, is uncle
to Albert- His sister married the Duke
of Kent and is Victoria’s mother. An-
other sister married the Grand Duke
Constantine of" Russia. A cousin of Al-
bert is the husband of the Queen of Por
tugal, who has been closely related to
the Russian imperial family. Another
of Albert’s aunts married the -Count
Mensdorf-Pouilly, and her sons, cousins
both to Albert and Victoria are officers
in the Austrian service, and their father
was in the Russian service.

on the cone to regulate and adjust the thickness
of the bat, corresponding to the parts requiring

After the bat is thus formed on the cone, it is
removed; and this is of‘ course a somewhat del-
icate operation, as the fibres have not sufficient
adhesion to admit the removal until subjected
to a hardening process. And therefore the but

a perforated metalic cone to produce pressure
upon the fibres of the but and at the same time

it is immersed, to harden the bat preparatory
to the felting; and unotlicr mcttilic cone Within
the one on which the but is forint-(l. as that is
thin and weak, so as to enable the whole to re-
sist the pressure of the siirroiindiiig water in
the process of immersion.

The specification contains a minute and full
description of the several parts of the machinery
used, accompanied with tliuwings, so that it
person of ordinary skill in this branch of busi-
ness can readily understand it. The patentee
claims, among other things: 1, The chamber
into which the fibres of the far are thrown by
the brush, in combination of the perforated cone,
-placed in front of the aperture of delivery for
tire purpose and in the manner siibstantinlly as
de scribed, the same chamber being provided
with an aperture below and back of the brush,
for the admission of a current of air, to aid in
throwing and directing the fibers on to the cone
as described. And, 2, In the process, the pat-
entoe claims hardening the but while the perfo-
rated cone. and preparatory to its removal on
therefrom by immersing it in hot water as de-
scribed.

The defendants deny the originality of the
invention, and also the infi-ingemcnt. insisting
that the machinery used by them is substan-
tially different from that described in the pat-
ent of Wells; and, further, that their process of
hardening the bat is materially different, and
superior in its effect and operation.

Upon the question of originality, as the com-
plaiuants have obtained the verdict. of a jury in
their fnvor,after a full and well contested trial in
another circuit, I shall not deem it necessary
to examine it very much at large. For, altho’
that verdict does not conclude them, the litiga-
tion having been between tlifferent parties,
still, upon this preliminary motion for an in-
junction, it is entitled to very great considera-
tion. I have examined carefully the evidence
produced upon that trial by the parties, which
constitute part of the proofs in this case, and
has been referred to in the at-giinient by the
learned counsel on both sides. and am satisfied
that the clear weight of it is with the verdict
rendered.

The main ground relied on in the trial at
Philadelpliiu, for the purpose of tlisproving the
originality of this improvement. was certain
inventions of Thomas R. Williams, in England,
for manufacturing hat bodies, and in respect to
which it great deal of cvitlence was given.

This is, also, the main ground again relied
upon here is to resist this motion. Williams
took out two patents in Eiig'laiid—onc in 1829,
the other in eighteen hundred anti thirty-seven.

He took out a patent, also, in this country in
1840, for the improvement enibracctl in his pat-

ent of eighteen huntli-etl and tliirty-seven, in
England. _

These patents or a description of the machi-
may and improvements upon which they were
igslfed, and evidence of the practical operation
of :1; e machines, were before the court and jury
in the trial at law. And the only one in which
there can be any prctension, the novelty of
\vells’g improvement may be found, is the pat-
ent of eigmtezen hundred and thirty-seven, oi- the
one taken (amt in this country in eighteen hun-
dred and fo1't3v,; and the weight of the proofs
before me is, abut this machine of Williams
never went into» successful operation. The ev-
idence on the trial at law shows that it was
laid aside after an unsuccessful attempt to make
hat bodies; and th ere_ is no proof before me
furnished on this motion, leading to any differ-
ent conclusion. __ _

And besides, according to the evidence of one
of the present defendants, Lansing E. Hopkins
the discovery and improvemept of the present
patentce (Wells) is of an earlier date than that
of Williams. He suggested and described it to
Hopkins in 1833, the first machine was built and
put in operation. Wells also described and ex-
plained the machine to Mr. Sullivan in London
in December, 1836. It appears. therefore. that
the present patentee was not only the first per-
son so far as the evidence goes, who suggested
the improvement for which he has obtained it
patent, but also the first to construct a machine
that has gone into successful operation ; for gt
appears to be admitted on all sides that his im-
provement of Wells was the first that ever went
into successful practical use in making but bod-
ies by machinery.

The defendants have also relied upon a. pat-
ent to Thomas Blanchard, June‘ 14, 1857, as ev-
idence of the want of 01'igina.lil.y in the improve-
merit of Wells. This machine was invented by
Mr. Blanchard, the well known and ingenious
inventor of the machine for turning gun-stocks,
and other irregular figures. and successfully
used as early as 1833, if not prior to that time;
and there is no doubt but that he is entitled to
the credit of the thought and contrivancc, with-
out which all these machines for making but
bodies would be drawn down to the wire sheet
and there formed into a hat or web for napping
hat lbodies, or making bodies for bats, instead of
bowing, according to the old method. Mr. B-’s
macliiine was constructed to form webs of plain
fur batting. _

The improvement of Wells is the suggestion
of it pr-rforated or wire cope, forming there by
the hotly of the hat in the shape desirable, and
adaptin 1* the machinery so as to produce the
required result; and at the same time, contri-
ving the means of taking the web of fur from
the cone without injury to its shape or texture.
All this he has most successfully accomplished;
and although the ingenuity displayed is not to
be compared to the idea struck out by Blanch-
ard and which it lies at the foundation of the
improvement it must be admitted that it is one
of very great merit, and deserving reasonable
protection. By means of it from two hundred
and fifty to three hundred hat-bodies are made
in a day, by one hand, when, according - to the
old mode of bowing, not to exceed twenty to
thirty, if I recollect right. The next question
is, whether or not the machine used by the de-

. fcntlants is an infringement, or, in other words,

is substantially the same as the one described

in the complainants’ patent.
Upon this question the cxpci-ts. as _ _
tlicrefore been under the iiccessit y of exalninm the ma-
chines for myself, which were licfore me on t ic argu-
ment ; and f'rom that cxaiiiinatiuii I an! entirely Batis-

oomplainanfls. They have divitleil the tunnel or chain-
her into two, by making it partition through the centre
of Wells’, the fibres of the fur passiiig through each
apartnienf. to the point of iliscliitrzc on the cone ; in oth-
er words they use it tliipliciito of Wells’ tunnel, and call
it a different 4.-ontrivaiicc. 'l‘hcy have also it contrivaucc
by which they connect the cxliitiisling box lit-ncntli the

voted in favor of Fairfleld, once to the people-
and once only in favor of B. and twice against
her. So that if the vote of the one in just a8
the vote of other, the balance is still against 3.
It should be remembered that B. was petitioner
and F. remonstrant, and that if the petition failed
of being granted by the_Legislafure because eith-
er one or both branches were opposed to it, it
was a decision in favor of the renionstraut, and
left her in possession of the Building, and
therefore the General Assembly in four out of
five trials was opposed to Bridgeport and de-
nied her petition and refused to remove the
Buildings from 1-‘.
(‘But there are other facts not to be overlook-

e .

The Senate is composed of 21 men, while
the House is composed of some 221. The pop-
ular branch being the more numerous, and, in
theory at least, supposed to be nearer the peo-
ple, are more to be relied on in their acts, as
declaring the voice of the people. Whether
this is true or not, one thing is true, that a Inu-
jority of 21 men may be more easily secured by
“ unfair and reprehensible” lnelnl than I ma-
jori..y of 221 for the simple reason that it is
easier to prejudice or persuade one man
against his convictions than ten, and therefore
in political matters the power of party may be
wielded with an absolute away over afewmbile
it may be comparatively weak to control the
many.

The effect of this was very evident when in
1850 an able and bitter partizan in the Senate
first espoused the cause of Bridgeport and by
personal and party tics first carried the Senate
in her favor on this Court House question and
exiiiim.-ii to the woi-Id-', for the unit time in our
Legislative history, how party power can be
basel y prostituted to gain unworthy ends, on
questions from which she should stand entirely
aloof. In ’tfi2, the party lines in the Senate
were drawn still nioretiglltly upon this ques-
tion ; and not only so, but it was shamelessly
avowed by an Hon. Senator as a parry-metw
ure. And at the last session, in the some body
the same influence was at work : yet notwith-
standing all the exertion made in this direction
they came within one ofleaving it to the peo-
ple on an amendment offered to hat effect.

The same party-drill" was brought to bear up-
on the House and finally contributed directly or
inilirectly to give them the majority of four-
tem only.

Some noble exception: stood up in defense of
right against all party applications,and beyond
the reach of the fear or favor of the “ Third

City." but even in the House the dictation of
party, blindfolded the administration of justice
and kicked the beams against us. When, the
claims of party sympathy failed, denunciations
were openly and unspariugly lavished on those
that would not be convinced by such argu-
ments .- and “ black sheep” and other epithets
too vile for public print, were freely used by
the representatives of Bridgeport, to brow-beat
or frighten some from his own County, who
had suflicient self-respect and independence of
action to call their souls their own; and while
they acknowledged all lawful party claiiac on
party subjects, acknowledged no allegiance to
Bridgeport, however clamorous of dominion.

The Representatives of the County also know
full well the course that was pursued by B. in
County meeting, and that the ofilcers that were
nominated County-wise, were sought to be con-
trolled, and were controlled by B. for purposes
of her own. The County meetings were al-
journed day after day, through her influence,
and to carry her ends ; and with an “ iinpudent
assumption” unparalled, she threatened, that
in case one of the old coniinisasoners was re
nominated in County meeting, she would have
his name struck off in the House, and her own
man put on in his stead, although both were of
the dominant party. It is also known full well
that by the influence of Bridgeport, the old
commissioners were fihally set aside in County
meetings, and others of the some party substi-
tuted in their places, some of whom were coun-
tied on as more pliant to carry out her views
and wishes.

It is also known that two of these were the
Representatives of Westport and Stanford, and
who also voted in the House in favor, of Bridge
port, while the people of both of those towns
would be better accommodated with either the
location of Fuirfield or Norwalk than that o
Bridgeport. 0r.n I-‘uitrri-:r.n.

The New Diplomatic Castume.—'l‘he follow
ing paragraph in a letter of the Paris correc-
pondent of the London Times, giving an ac-
count of a recent imperial levee, should send
a thrill of pride through every American
breast :— ‘

' Ai eng the Diplomatic Corps was, of
course, Mr. Sandford, the Charge de Af-
fairs of the U. S., who in compliance
with the recent instructions of the Amer-
ican Secretary of State, appeared in the
simple dress of an American citizen. This
upassuming costume, which presented a
striking contrast with the glitter of em-
broidery, and the blaze of stars and crou-
ses around, caused much sensation, and
is a topic of conversation in all political
circles. Mr. Sandford had previously
intimated to the Grand Chambt.-rlain’s
department that he should so appear.-—
This is, I believe, the first occasion that
the instructions of the American Gov-
ernment have been carried out, as they
were this day, faithfully to the letter, by
Mr. Sanford. ‘

 Mr. Sanford is a. native of Armenia, we
believe, in this State, and his many friends on
this side of the water will rejoice at his Repub-
lican independence, in the simplicity of his
court dress. It is said he was It fin! culrlllce

a glorious spectacle! While the representa-
tives of European dynasties whose govern-
ments heggarly poor, if’ not totally bank:-itpt,
were glittering beneath all the array of din‘,-
monds, and gold spangles, the Aiaericau Bop-

citizens dress. This simple order of Secretary
Marcy is enough to cover all the nine any one
