fortune yearly from the sale of sewing machines
on which he receives a 50 commission for each
one manufactured that combines in its construc-
ton his ockstitch principle, offered 10 sell his
patent 10 DIR Frnk of Indianapolis, Ind, q few
years since, for S25. As there was then some
doubt whether Mr. Howe could retain bis patent,
It being IN litigation, the Doctor declined the of.
fer, aud thus lost the chance of receiving a
prncely revenue.
The attorney general has given to the legisla-

All the secretaries exhibit large reductions in
the expenses Of their departments, and present
smaller estimates than usual for the next years
wants.
The secretary Of the nary, speaking OF the sue
cessful termination OF the Paraguay expedition,
says that the cost Of maintaining the seven pur-
chased vessels in commission, not much
greater Than that of maintaining single steam
trgate, and that their acquisition has enabled the
department TO adopt more efficient measures for
the suppression OF the African slave trade. Since
the CONNIE ncement of the present adminisira-
ton, twenty steam vessels have been added
to the navy. He renews the recommendation
TO still further increase the navy, and instead
of perpetuating old vessels or eApending mil
lions in constructing few large ships, IL
is earnestly recommended 10 prosecute with
vigor the line of policy which has been adopted
by Congress, and add much larger number OF
steamers, which can be maintained AT compare.
lively small cost. He says that 1t is a source Of
extreme regret and modification, that we, now,
at times obliged TO sit by passively and see in
some foreign countries American citizens impris-
oned, pundered and murdered, because the exec
utive has not the means 70 protect them. He
urges am increase in the marine, medical and
pursers departments. He narrates tue operations
of the various squadrons during the last year.
The department in May lest made conditional
contract with the Chiriqui Improvement company,
