ACCIDENT IN MOBILE BAY.-The Mobile Re-
gister of Wednesday contains a detailed account
Of the accident in Mobile Bay: " A sail-boat be-
longing to the United States steamer Secretary
Walker, engaged in the Coast Survey, while re-
turning from this city, with six persons on board,
was, just below Choctaw Pass, struck by sudden
squali of wind, and capsized. One of the persons
on board, DIR. Holmes, the Surgeon of the Walker,
a highly intelligent and worthy gentleman, was
drowned /; four of the men succeeded in clinging
to the boat, whence they were taken, after several
hours, by an oyster boat; and the other by the aid
of an oar and swimming, was found after he had
been in the water three hours by the steamboat
Cora, which was returning to this city from across
the Bay. Capt. Armstrong, of the Cora, at once
made every search for the other persons, but, even
by the aid of glass, could not discover them:
They had been drifted down the Bay by the wind
or tide After a delay and search of three quarters
of an hour The Cora to this city, with the i'm
preston that the rest of the party We're lost. The
friends of Dr. Holmes have offered 500 for the re-
coyery of his BODY

fict of opinion between the late President, Judge
Joel Jones, and the Board of Directors The Presi-
dent construed his powers and duties as defined in
the charter to be Independent Sf any control of the
Board while the latter undertook to prescribe rules
for his conduct, which be derded. They finally
requested him TO resign. He demanded that they
should specify some particular cause of complaint ::
They only alleged wan, of harmony and differ
ence of opinions about the government of the inst
tuition. upon which he finally resigned There is
a minority of the Board who favored the President.
Hence embarrassments anticipated in filling the
vacancy. Mr.. Jones was President Judge of the
District Court OF Philadelphia city and county,
compliance with a general wish that he should
assume these duties, for which he was thought to
be specially qualified.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun


The Patent Case. Balm ps .uors.-Important
Decision, Sc.
This case came before Judge Cranch, on an
appeal by Mr. Balm from decision of Mr.
Commissioner Burke. The facts leading to the
appeal are briefly, if | remember correctly, as
follows:
Mr. Morse bad obtained patent for tele-
graph, and had acted under il for some time In
December, 1916, Mr.. BAN obtained letters pa
tent IN Great Britain, for an improvement in
the telegraph apparatus, and in ,clegraphing =
His patent differed in many respects from the
one in use by Morse.
Sometime after this, Professor Morse filed in
the archives of the Patent Office cayeat, set
ting forth that he was pcriectng new inven
lion, or an Improvement upon his former patent
and declaring that, in due time, he would depo.
sit bis model, &c. He did this, and complied
with the requisites of the law; aud in August
lS4S, he obtained patent for his new inven.
ton.
In the mean time-that is between the fling
OF Morse's cavea, and August, lS4S-Mr Balm
deposited in The Paen! Office m del OF his IN.
vsnlion, (or which he had received patent in
Enslant.l and demanded a paen therefor.
The COMMISSIONED Of Pa;-n;s .eard he case
cayeai, announcing his intention TO fie, hen
completed, a model Of new invention, and had
ton. 80 previous 10 the application oil MIR. Balm,
a. Morse was entitled 10 priority; and further
ha' Sain's invention was so similar to that VI
u = orse, he could NOT grant patent to Balm
wi..ls interfering with Morses apparatus. This
was he general ground Of the Commissioners
decision.
From This decision Mr.. Balm appealed 10 the
chief Justice OF our circuit court, who by la W is
appointed 10 hear all such cases The case wa.
heard on The 10th OF February ast-MessTs.
Kendall and Lawrence appeared for Morse, and
Mr. Schley Of Baltimore and the Solicitor OF The
Treasury appeared Tor Balm.
On yesterday Judge Cranch sent 10 the Patent
Office his opinion ard decision. The decision
is in effect that The commissioner did not err in
granting Patent 10 Mr.. Morse for his new in
vention; but he did err in refusing ID palent the
invention OF MIR. Balm. That is, The Chief JUS
