IMPORTANT RAILROAD CAsE.-The case of
Ross Wlnafs against the New York and Har-
lem Railroad, some account of decision in
which has been given by telegraph, is upon
patent right for the eight wheel railroad cars
in universal use on all the railroads of this
country. 1t has been pending in the Circuit
Court of the United States six years. The
first trial was held before Judge Belts, in the
city of New York, last spring, and occupied
an entire special term of sixty days. The jury
disagreed, and thereupon a new trial was al
lowed The cause came on again the present
month before Judge Nelson, and lasted about
twenty three days. AT both trials the leading
counsel for Mr. Winans, was Mr.. Latrobe of
Baltimore, and for the Railroad Mr. Whiting
of Boston. After the jury had been kept out
by the court forty-nine hours they were UNI
able to agree, and were accordingly discharg-
ed. 1t is understood that they stood, onfinal
consultation. ten in favor of the defendant,
and two for the plaintiff. Several actions are
still pending against the railroads upon this
patent. One is against the Eastern Railroad
of Massachusetts, and others against the n.
Y. Central and the Erie Railroads. The next
trial will be at Albany, probably before Hail.

The Revista Contemporaries. periodical
published at Turin, Piedmont in its impres.
sion for October, contains avery concise and
comprehensive account of the late scientific
convention at Providence, R. l., from the pen
of Prof. Botta, who for some years has been
resident of this city. He begins with short
but well -reasoned REPUTATION of the opinion ex-
isting in E6rope-which, as the writer is pro-
perry of opinion says originated with travellers,
whose observations We're partial. superficial,
and Therefore incoIrect-that higher scientific
pursuits are not congeniel to the American
soil. The writer asserts that America is not
only ahead of Europe in the development of
free institutions, but is entitled to hold place
alongside of France, Germany and England,
by the results of her scientific labors. THIS
he sustains by giving a rapid sketch of the
learned productions of the most eminent
members of the convention, as Redfeld, Dana,
Henry, Pierce, and by enumerating scores of
other men, who in various ways. cast lustre
on the American name. Professor Botto shows
in this article, how happily extensive and
varied information is blended in his mind
with clear and enthusiastic appreciation of
the scientific progress of our country.-N. Y.
