as making out any thing like corruption a

for him to he engaged in. We give the sub
stance of the affidavit.
Mr.. Jones swears that he first met Sena-
tor Ruggles at the Patent office, where he
went on business connected with his patent :;
that he did not then know Mr.. Ruggles, but
found him with two gentlemen connected
with the Office, TO whom he Mr.. Jones, had
been referred for Information. That on sta

they and Mr.. X. united in declaring that
his specification was imperfect that he ask
ed whom he should employ to draw up bet
ter, when Dir. Ruggles offered his services !;
shat he called in the evening on Mr.. Rug
giles, at his lodgings, and hud conversation
with him, in which he, Mr. Jones, express
sed his desire 10 have the lock brought into
use by the postsoffice department, in answer
10 which MIR. Ruggles said that he had in
fluence with that department, and would em-
ploy il il Mr. Jones would give him an in,
terest in the profits; that Mr.. RuggIes then
proposed an assignment OF interest in The pat
ent 10 his brother, and on Mr.. J's directing
proposed to take the assignment in his own
name that some days thereafter, the new
specification being completed, he went with
Mr.. RuggleS 10 the patent Office, where Mr..
X. placed before him written agreement
for him 10 sign, making aeer one fourth OF
the inleres, 10 Mr.. r. which he refused Ia
sIgn although strongly urged by Mr.. Rug
giles. We now quote the gravamen Of the
charge, in the words ofthe affidavit.
In the course Of the conversation which
then took place, thus deponent remark ed
that he wished his lock TO stand on its own
merits: to which MIR. Ruggles replied
Things do not go down here on their own
merit, but by pulling the right strings, and
ii you will make me interested ] will pull
The right string, otherwise will have moth

Lord Elphinstoue, we are told is on
his way back irorn India. He was APP
pointed Governor of Madras, (rumor
says at the instance Of the late King) to
get him out OF the wsy of her Majesty,
then Princess Victoria. His Lordship
is said to be one of the finest young men
among the aristocracy,
Lord Elphins,one was a Lord of the
Bedchamber to the late King, who was
very fond of him. He had pension on
the civil list, being possessed of very lit
tie fortune. He also was a captain in
the Royal Horse Guards-he resigned
his pension and his commission in going
out to India. 1t is believed that the
Princess Victoria was very fond of him,
and that the Penchnnt continues to the
present time. We shall soon discover
the truth Of this and other reports
that is if Lord EIphinftone be really on
his return.
The Queen. as y on are aware, may mar
ry subject. Indeed. there is growing
dislike in the nation to foreign alliances
| know no one more likely to please the
fancy Of the Queen. il Lord Elphinstone
be the approved one. She has often
displayed ID determined spirit.
