MIR. HowE's SEWING MACHINE P PATENT ENrESDEp.
The application of Mr. E. Howe, Jr., for an extern
sion of his patent for the needle used in the best
sewing machines, which was for some time pend
ing before the Commissioner of Patents, was de-
cided on Saturday, the 8th inst. The grounds on
which the application was made, as produced in
the argument of his counsel, were that the half
million of dollars acquired by the inventor, as
profits, was not sufficient remuneration for The
actual advantages derived from the use Of the in
vention; that new branches of industry had been
created by its means, and that by its use products
had been cheapened and improved and hours of
labor lesseaed, while wages had been increased.
After having heard the arguments, the Commits
soner of Patents reserved his decision until Sat.
urday, when he granted the application and ex-
tended the patent for seven years. In making his
decision, the Commissioner expressed the opinion
that The profits which had accrued to the inventor
were not such as the value of the invention en-
titled him to,

Official advices from New Mexico, of the Sth Of

twas yesterday stated that the expenses Of the
Japanese embassy in the United States, according
to the accounts rendered at the State Department,
were only half of the amount appropriated by
Congress, but it has since been ascertained that
the War and Navy Departments have claims for
the presents to the embassy, including implements
of war and for personal expenses from Japan to
this country which will probably absorb nearly
the remainder of the $4,000 appropriation.
A special agent has been dispatched to Califor-
MIA from the Attorney-General's Office, to obtain
information and convey instructions relative to the
gold mine suits and other legal business of that

SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER Is, 1860

shipments of grain from Russia to England and
how much gold will it require from the old "grand
marmn in Threadneedle street, will perhaps be
talked of after awhile.
Although we have large receipts of the staple,
yet there is manifest apathy and stagnancy in
general business True, there is activity on the
leyee in the receiving of large cargoes of cotton
and Western produce, and merchandise from the
North and Europe, but there is something lacking,
some shadowing of evil, which comes up in the
way Of talk very frequently during the day.
There has been some talk Of speculations in the
weed, tobacco-that some parties have been quite
fortunate in realizing twelve to fifteen dollars per
hid. profit within the past two months. In aud-
ing two days ago, to the contract with the Span
ish Government, the types got the word quantity
for "quality''-as the quality OF tobacco required
for this contract has been purchased here within
the last two months at to y cts. per pound; !;
moreover, that three parties had purchased 5000
hhds. each, or thereabouts, under the expectation
that their tenders might be favored. However,
they will not lose by the investment-but gain
largely, from present appearances.
The weekly coffee circular of Col. Lonsdale
shows that the stock OF the berry is increasing and
that the increase over last year Is nearly twelve
thousand bags. The article has declined in New
York At a public sale made in New York last
Saturday, $500 bags were sold at an average of
$l3 40
There was some talk that our absent citizens
were returning in great numbers. Those that
have been journeying northward appear to be glad
to get back again. The hotels at our sea shore
suburbs are being rapidly depopulated. We can
hardly account for this, unless fashion and snobism
rule the day, as the months Of September and 0c-
tQber are two of the most pleasant months in the
year at our sea shore Or Gulf resorts the nights
are cool and pleasant and the days are not at
tended with high degree Of temperature Or heat.
Moreover, it would be prudent, as regards health,
for those having families to defer their return till
somewhere about the middle of October.
We have no space for more general talk this

This has been truly disastrous year, The corr
