A New PATENT Bull Charges of En-
bezzlement IN the United States Treasury De-
partmeat. Washington, July 7. New York
HeralGs Correspondence The Committee
on Patents are preparing, and will report in a
short time, a new Patent Bill, in opposition to
the one recently reported in the Senate, by
Senator James, of Rhode Island. Senator
James bill is considered by certain of the Pa
tent fraternity as too general. The new bill
which is being gotten up, has been put into
the hands of one of the legal minds of Massa-
chusetts, and, when completed, is expected to
meet the approval and overcome all the obsta-
Giles which have heretofore been brought
against bills of q similar character. The Com
mittee on Patents have another bill which
they intend to report, called the Reciprocity
bill. The bill, as I understand it, is one that
will apply to foreign patents, or rather to the
Canadas.
Mr.. Ball, Chairman of the Committee on
Public Buildings, will make some astounding
disclosures either to morrow or next day. He
will offer a resolution asking for a special
Committee, to investigate certain charges
against persons in high places in the Treasury
Department. His charges are backed up by
affiadvits responsible men. He charges GER
tain men in the Treasury Department with
receiving large sums of money in awarding
contracts for Custom Houses, etc., in Mobile
and the West. The Committee will also have
power to investigate other contracts that have
been awarded there and elsewhere, and to
send for persons. There are those implicated
in this matter who have heretofore stood high
in the Department.

CLERICAL MOVEMENT IN AID OF KANzAs.-
Sixteen of the most prominent and influential
clergymen of Boston, representing seven re-
ligious denominations, have addressed a cir
cular letter to the clergy of the Common
wealth. urging general movement in aid of
those who have gone to Kanzas from the free
States They say
SO Those who have gone out from among us,
seeking o2ly free homes i'll free land and
that peacefully, have found only intolerance
and persecution. Nay, even their means of
subsistence have been destroyed, and liberty
and life itself unhesitatingly sacrificed that the
territory might be depopulated of freemen,
and made forever a dwelling place only for
the master and his slave.
Brethren, shall it be thus depopulated p
The sufferings of our friends who have gone
to Kanzas, their need, and their peril, all APP
peal in tones which cannot be denied, and the
cause they represent, equally ours as theirs,
must fail if they be not sustained,
Sympathy for the people of Kanzas is SO
general in Massachusetts, among men of eve
ry religious faith, that it seems highly desira-
bic that contribution in all the churches
throughout the State should be made, to an.
timely relief, leaving to other parties to fur
nish them the means Of self defence"
They recommend that all funds contributed
BY the churches should be transmitted to DR..
Samuel G. Howe of Boston, and placed at the
- e the Committee of which George
X. Russell is Chairman, and Patrick I. jack
son, Treasurer. The following is the closing
sentence Of the document
May the Supreme Being SO influence the
| hearts OF men that they shall esteem it alike a
sacred duty and Christian privilege to yield
for their brethren On the borders of civilization
their united prayers and cheerful gifts and
may He also 0verrule the prosecutions of the
| people of kanzas for his own glory and the
ultimate triumph of free principles.
The appeal bears the following signatures.
1t would be difficult to select the same num-
Der of clergymen of equal influence in Mas
sachusetts. The venerable Rev. DIR. Lowell
heads the list. The others are thus divided
among religious sects Three are Orthodox
Congregationalists, three are Baptists, three

The DIssMIssAL sCRAMPToN.-TE Elk tract
of private letter, dated London, June II,
1856. I'VE are all in high spirits to day at
the break down of Lord Palmerston on
Champions dismissal. 1t was a bad thing for
him to do, and both he and Clarendon were
in favor of Diminishing Dallas. They became
convinced that large majority of the House
of Commons would oppose the measure, and
that public opinion, including that of the
Court, was strongly against them. There is
no doubt that the Queen, advised by Prince
Albert and the Duke of Cambridge, refused
to sustain the dismissal.
was at the House last evening, and it was
a most interesting scene, the House was
crowded by members and the galleries by
strangers.
Lord John Russell spoke with great seri-
business, and everybody felt that it was
most important crisis in the career of the
Anglo Saxon mce. When Palmerston rose
to announce the determination of the NJ in
istry, the silence was profound and the anxiety
intense. At the announcement tLat they had
determined not to suspend relations with the
American Minister, there was perfect thrill
of emotion and satisfaction. So clos the
Cabinet kept the matter, that when arrived
at Mr.. Dallas to congratulate him, he had not
received the slightest intimation as to his fate,
and had the very great satisfaction of an
nouncing it to him and his family.-N. Y,

"TRUE GRIT."-We copy the following
from the Topeka (Kapzas) Tribune Of June
23d, the only Free State paper now published
in the Territory:
One day last week, two men from Milwau.
Kee, wisconsin were travelling on the public
road in the vicinity of Osowatomie. looking
Tor locations, when companr of twelve men
supposed to be portion of Whithelds army
rode up to them and demanded their horses
money and guns. The travellers declined
giving up either, but proposed to compromise
by keeping their property and giving them
the contents Of their guns. A sharp conflict
ensued which resulted in the death of eight
out of the twelve pro-slayery men, the two
Free State men not receiving scratch. This
is what we call true grit; cases like this try
ones temper, for every one knows that it is
useless to surrender to these bands of South
ern outlaws, as they show no mercy to an un-
armed prisoner, but the moment he comes in.
to their hands, his life is taken by the halter
or the Ratchet, and it is far better TO die
striking for your country and your rights,
than by the cowardly assassins dagger after
YOU are unarmed.

Republican National Convention at Philadel-

neighbors read report of his speech in the
New York papers, called meeting and pass

Of Republican member, is worth recording.
Richard Mott, venerable Ohio Representa-

fuends on Long Island, twenty. five miles
from New York. Giddings, not aware of his
Illness, telegraphs to him at New York city,
on Tuesday night, to come on and vote. The
message fell into the hands Of gentleman
who, till now, has been an old line Democrat,
but he carried out the command to the letter,
chartering a steamboat at an expense to him
self Of one hundred dollars, proceeded that
very night down Long Island Sound, and
bringing Mott to the city in time to start for
Washington the very next morning. And so
the staunch veteran, i'll as he was was duly
in his seat all day yesterday, voting on every
motion till the cause Of free Kanzas had tri.
umphed."

CELEBRATION AT FRAMINGHAM. A cores
pondent furnishes us the following account of
the proceedings of the Anti Slavery gathering
at birmingham, on the Fourth Of july under
the auspices of the Massachusetts, Anti
Slavery Society. On account Of the storm.
the exercises commenced in the Town Hall
VIM. Lloyd Garrison presided, and on taking
the chair, delivered an able, clear, and carefully
prepared address, setting forth in comprehen.
slve manner the causes which have led to the
present state of things in the country.
He showed by reading extracts from the
Southern press, how vain and foolish it is for the
North to still continue clarifying the Union,
when, in reality, there is no Union. He would
challenge any one to produce from history, an in
stance where any nation, even when at war with
another, had uttered language that would com
pare for maliRnity and hatred with the language
that is now used throughout the whole South
towards Massachusetts and other northern states.
He regarded the firing of cannon, the ringing of
bells and other like demonstrations as much out
OF place, at the present time, they would be at
funeral, and compared those who indulge in
such mockery to Nero, who fiddled while Rome
was burning
Mr. Garrison was followed by Mr. J. b. Swazey
"a lawyer Of Newburyp who had lately become
convinced OF the sinlulness of emaining in the
existing Union, and whose motto now is "No
union with Shareholders" Mr. S. commented in
just and indignant manner upon the notices
he had read suspended from the City Hall in
Boston The one containing the remarkable
words Constitutional Liberty protected 5y La,o''
he regarded as an insult to the common sense Of
mankind while Massachusetts lies PROSTATE at
the feet of the slave power, and the soil of Kan
zas is stained with the blood of Massachusetts'
sons.
Mr.. Pillsbury then spoke for a half.hour with
his usual ability. He regarded this nation as nj
ready dead; to be numbered with the wrecks
that are strewn along the coast of antiquity
AT the conclusion Of Mr.. Pillsbury's speech.
there being prospect Of fair weather, the
meeting adjourned to the Grove where the
company were entertained by the humor Of
I. Foss, the charming eloqucnoe of Wendell
Phillips, and the sound logic of c. G. Duroigh,
TO the time Of the final adjournment.
