TREPoRTED FOR THIS GAZETTE.
Mr. Sybert presented the petition of Oliver
Evans, stating that he has been unjustly charg-
ed with exterting unreasonable suuls for IL
cences to use bis Improvements in the manu-
facture Of -four, which has operated 10 the in
Jury Of other inventors by causing their peti-
tons for the extention Of patent terms to be
rejected. lie prays that Congress will, IN or
der to prevent such injurious effects to other
three per cent. interest on the sums that toe
users of such Improvements may be adiodged
by court and jury, to gain by the use of them,
provided sufficient term be given to make it
an object, which the present term of Ii years
certainly is not which he moved to be refer
red to the committee of the whole house, and
that the reading of the petition be dispensed
with.
Mr.. Lewis rose and requested the petition
to be read after which he said, he was glad
that an opportunity had been offered by the
petitioner himself, Of investigating the sub
ject of his petition; but as the committee of
the whole house was not the proper place for
such an Investigation, he moved the reference
of his petition to select committee, where
the subject could be thoroughly examined,
and specific aud detailed report made upon
it. Mr.. l.. added, that from his knowledge,
the conduct of Oliver Evans or his agents. or
both, had been such as to disgust every per-
son concerned with his inventions for manu-
Featuring -four, and had done much to injure
the fair claims of others for patent inventions;
that such had been the exorbitant extortions,
and vexatious demands OF the patentee, that
he had intended to institute some enquiry into
the nature of his claim, blu: that he had some
difficulty as to the mode.
The petition was referred to select COM
mittee of Eve.

Alexandria Museum.

TIME Members of Alexandria Washing
4. ton Lodge, No. %, have for some time
had in contemplation the establishment of a
Museum attached to their Lodge, to be CONS
posed Of the works Of nature and art, and
having finally adopted a plan, they are aware
that in announcing the same to the public,
the success of such an institution in this
place may be questioned /; but they have
lately received, as generous donation, such
collection of precious relics, as has ems
boldened them to risk the experiment. Tie
receipts of this Museum are to be solely ape
piled 10 charitable purposes. They solicit
the patronage OF generous public, their
brethren in general, and particularly those
whose occupations often call them to distant
climes, where curiosities, both natural and
artificial, are easy of attainment.
1t must, necessarily, take some time to
bring such an institution into notice; but
when we view the works of nature and art
combined to attire, and exhibiting Heavens
choicest beauties, we shall feel amply raid
for our labor and our care: and as idleness
and intemperance, industry and economy, me-
yer root in the same soil, we can only offer
pledge, that while the former are studious-
~ avoided, the receipts of this institution
shall be faithfully applied to the relief of the
wants Of the latter, whom misfortune shall
consign to travel the rugged paths OF life.
The subscribers therefore request that any
article, suitable for such an institution, may
be forwarded to them at their expense, either
as donation or on deposit.
