tent OF the United States, bearing date July TO- lS49
and whereas Carl Falkman also a subject of the
said King of Sweden, did make application at this
office for letters patent for substantially the same
invention the 30th OF August last based upon

And whereas an interference declared by this

hundred and tvty, and the parties notified of the

BALTIMORE, Oct. 3l-5 D. n


We have, to-day, pretty fair earnest of winter
keen nor wester, and occasional squalls of snow
have drawn out any number of coaks and over
coats, and caused considerable clanking of stoves
and CRATES. II is time, however, for such fun and
ought TO be unprepared.
After two three postponements, the grand mil
itary parade came off to-day. The 9Th and $50
regiments of Maryland militia and the flying ar.
tillery from Fort McHenry, under Lieut.. Colone
Magruder-the whole under the command of Ma
or General Steuart-constituted the body of troops
in the field. The regular soldiery and the citizen
soldery Wed with each other in the promptness and
skill of their maneuvering, and mingled on the
field of parade with the harmony as they
have often done on the field of battle.
General Steuart gives splendid entertainment
at his own house to night to the officers Of the
brigade and some other friends.
We have several new papers in this city, and one
or two more in prospect. The Parlor Gazette, a
weekly started few weeks since, devoted exclu
sively to the ladies both in reading matter and ad
vertisements- publishing none Of the latter excep
such ladies interested in-has been entirely
successful, and may be considered among the cs
tablished papers of the Monumental City. In 81,
weeks its proprietor has, believe, been compelled
to enlarge it three times. II is becoming grea
favorite.
The City Item, an independent evening journal
has just made its appearance, and the number be
fore me is well gotten up, and WILL hope, succeed
Let the people read, and they will make good cit
zens. They will learn to appreciate their owl
government and Its blessings, and thus becom,
good patriots.
We have received intelligence to-day tending Il
throw some doubt upon the report OF yesterday
concerning NJ. Bodisco. hope sincerely il may
be unfounded. Iftrue, il is act of cruelty. no
10 say treachery, which should bring the concen
trated scorn and indignation Of all christendon
upon the heartless tyrant who perpetrated the act
If not true, whilst shall rejoice, yet should hk,
TO see some suitable punishment inflicted upon tn,
reckless author OF hoax calculated 10 give SC
much pain.

the home sickness OF the exile Il may be despair;
It may be insanity, that sings low and melancholy
