CONTENTS OF THE LATE PATENT OFrIcE.-By the
report of Mr.. Ruggles in the Senate, II appears that
the destruction Of this great national repository may
be in good degree repaired. The number OF patents
granted is about 10 600, and the commissioner believes
that most of them may be obtained and recorded
again. The whole number of the models burnt was
1000 and 5000 of the most important of them, 1t Is
believed may be replaced. The importance of these
models both for the protection of the right of paten-
tees and the most ineligible record of the history
of invention to enable the proper officers to Judge of
of by the committee
There were also destroyed 1863 large folio volumes
of records; 70 large port folios, containing 5000
drawings many beautifully executed, and very valua-
BILE; 10000 original descriptions of Inventions besides
caveats and many other documents. There were al
$50 volumes Of scientific books. The report says
the office contained the largest and most interesting
collection of models in the world No model had
been preserved of Fuons first steamboat but there
was deposited in the Office volume ofdrawings exc
cued by his own hand, embracing beside the various
parts ofhis machinery three beautiful representations
of his steamboat passing interesting points on the
Hsdson, with sketches of the scenery There were
about 1900 agricultural models; upward of 2000 in
factory machinery; and 1000 relating to navigation.
The sum required to replace the 5000 models which
would include the most desirable, is estimated at 1913
each; $780, 900 in the whole the expense of proeur
ing drawings, descriptions, &C., at $4,000, that,
with sundry incidental expenses, the whole expense
of thus restoring the Office, would not exceed $l56 000
This the committee thinks the government may well
afford TO pay, this Office has paid into the common
treasury Sl56,906 more than its expenses The COM
missioner believes complete list of all patents issued
can be procured. For the purpose of thus restoring
this important establishment the committee report the
bill, which is now before the Senate.

On the opening Of the Court, Mr.. Wilson rose and
proceeded to read an affidavit the part of George G.

Mr.. Cummins, the Juror alluded 10, said he would
