Report of the Commissioner of Patents
for 1S17.


On the next page of this paper is ingenious art-
Gle embodying general statistics of the country,
and which would be quite interesting one, also, II
it based correct data, and sufficiently cxp-
cit to be comprchcndcd. We beg the Hon. Commits
soncr's pardon for taking this subject in hand; but
conceivng have the privilege of so DOING by the
closing remark in the article referred to, we have
undertaken the task Of crticsing it, in the hope OF
ccitng from quarter explanation that will
enghtem us, and we trust some others, who do not
understand the subject fully its Importance re-
quires.
The Hon. Commissioners Report, which is chiefly
Agricultural Commercial and Artistca, is intended,
as expressed, for the year lSl7 and is made to the
Congressional Committee of Patents under date OF
March 3D. lSiS The crops referred to are OF course
the product of 1871. We will take one of the most
prominent then, TOBACCO, for instance, and enquire
by what method the extent of the crop of lS47 has
been so asccrtancd? For the hypothesis as
sumcd, (the census of S40,) will not be allowable,
when il is known that the planting was unusually
limited in 1871 owing TO the low prices at which the
crop of the preceding year sold, and which were
greater inducements planters TO cultivate Grain in
its stead, from the high prices that all descriptions,
particularly Corn commanded in all home and for
eign markets. If it the crop of 1916, (Which
could not be brought into market until the winter of
1867 and afterwards was the crop intended TO be
alluded in the Report, and therefore not that OF
lS47-then the price in no market in the United
States averaged, think, cts. per lb; more espe-
ciay assuming cts. as the average for the total
crop in the Tobacco growing sections of the u States
But in what market did il command cts' Was it
at home abroad and did the cts inure to the
planter as his net proceeds or did he pay for trans
porting to market and after dcductng that expence,
what were then his net proftss For in this way
only we think we can come to the value Of the To-

A correspondent of the Buffalo Express, writing
under date OF June ii, from Ontonagon, Lake Supc-
rlor, says
Mr. knapp, of the Vulcan Mining Company. has
lately made some very singular discoveries here in
working one Of the veins, which he lately found.
He worked into an old which has been
ted centuries ago This led them to look for other
works OF the same sort, and they have found num-
Der OF sinks in the earth which they have traced a
iong distance. BY digging into those SINKS, they
find them to have been made by the hand OF man.
1t appears that the ancient miners went on differ

growth standing in this gutter: and also find that
trees OF very large growth hav" grown up aud
died, and drctyvd many years sncc: in the same
places there are standing trees Of over thr."
huadrcd years growth. Last week they dug down
into new place, and about twelve feet below the
surface found mass OF copper that will weigh from
eight u ten tons. This mass was buried in ashes,
and it appears thy could not hundl, it, and had 10

will lead TO a new method of finding veins in thi.
country and may be Of great benefit 10 some. |

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The British steamer Hibernia arrived at New
York Friday evening of last week, having left Liv
crpoo Sth inst. The news, both political and COM
mcrcal is favorable.
Every thing was quiet in Paris, under the rule Of
military law. Continual arrests were going on, but
the spirit OF instruction appeared, for the present.
at least, perfectly put down.
Gen. Cavaignac has acted with great vigor, and
thus far has justified the good opinion that form
ed of him. He has suppress ed the national work
shops and has boldly rcpud'atcd the fatal doctrines
upon which they were founded. Many persons i'm
plicatcd in the conspiracy well as in the nsurrcc
ton have been arrested, but still its origin has not
been disclosed. 1t is said that CauSSdicre was the
active chief and that Louis Blanc was not ignorant
of his designs: but who stood behind him, who sup
piled the large sum of money, who commanded the
military skill with which the instruction plan
ned and for whose ultimate benefit the whole was
undertaken, it does not yet appear.
The Archduke John. uncle Of the Emperor of
Austria has been chosen by the Congress at Frank
fort Regent of Germany. This election is Deepen
dent upon the confirmation OF the separate powers.
An armistcc, under the mediation OF England, has
been agreed upon between Denmark and Prussia;
and the good offices of Eng land have also been inter
posed in the affairs of Austria and Italy.
The Cholera has broken out with violence in st.
Petersburg and in Moscow. Extensive mIlitar, pre-
parations still going in Russia, and there were
rumorS of a declaration OF war against the Gcrmanlc
Confederation; but on the other hand il is reported
that the Emperor every where declares pacific in-
tcntionS.
The deficiency in the English revenue for the
quarter is less than was anticipated. The funds
have rallied, and business generally has felt the
good effects of the improvement.
Chatcaubrand died at Paris on the morning OF
July 9TH.
Ireland remained in the excited condition,
the repeal papers filed with the most inilammatory
articles, the people organizing and the government
prosecuting.
LATER STILL.
The steamer United States arrived at New York
Tuesday morning, having left Havre 18th inst
and
STILL LATER.
The new British steamer Europa arrived at Boston
on Thursday morning with Liverpool dates TO 10th
inst. The Cotton market was better by ID. at
Liverpool, but Breadstu0s and Provisions had not
changed much. Paris more tranquil.
