OPERATIONS OF THE PATENT OF
FICE.

The business OF the Patent Office has been greatly
diminished in consequence Of our political troubles
and especially because Of feeling which has pre-
vailed somewhat generally that the Capital Is in dan
ger. For this latter reason, and account Of tho
lack Of money and the depression in business, many
inventors have neglected to take out their second pa

There are indications, however, that the busnefs
Of this bureau will revive, and that the reduc-
ton in the salaries Of examiners and clerks which
was made few days since, will be bot for short
time. Already the number Of foreign applications,
especially from England and France has increased
to q considerable extent, while our eountrymsn are
presenting improvements in the weapons OF war and
army equipments at the rate Of three four daily,
although as yet not many patents have been granted
for these inventions. Since May 81, patents have
been issued TO citizens Of the several States as fol-
lows:

met yesterday at p. M, the President Mr.. Evsrs,
In the cair Reports were called up from the Special
Committees. Some had complete reports prepared,
Others partial, but all excused themselves from pre-
senting the result of their abor.
VIM. Allen Butler offered resolution, which was
slightly amended, as follows:
Bkslsas Oirg condition Of public ehAir. nnee ne

that dsy the end that the Board may hefeapoG 70
consider and stt eharer 70 ee 20 'ns
for the people - such 'me s' ray be prescribed
by the Legislature
Mr.. Butler explained that the object OF the refoln-
finn wac not 10 get mere extension OF time, but TO
snd ont whether members were willing 10 devote
Themselves earnestly to the work Of preparing new
charter. great deal bad already been done by the
Committees.
Mr.. Purdv insisted on the importance OF the pro-
vision for submitting the charter to the people ol ths
ci,y 10 vote upon. There was much truth IN tue re-
marxs of the gentleman who had preceded him that
,nenbers had been obliged to devote great deal OF
their time 10 national matters.
Mr.. Tn, ker said the time allotted by the Legisla-
,ure for this Commission to do their work had ex-
pired, and they had no right 10 extend it. He saw
no uro,pect Of their doing In three months what they
Rad been unsble 10 do in six. The Commission had
,yipced nelthar the disposition nor the capacity 10
draft a propot charter. A charter made al Albany
would be patch work, miserable affair. There was
too much interference in city matters by the Lees-
ture. AS TO the condition OF public AFFAIR." prevent
ing gentlemen from attending to the duties of the
Commission, the pext three months would witness
no Improvement, 90 during that time two exciting
elections would take place. The Commission ought
10 adjourn zine die and acknowledge that they had
not reformed the duty assigned to them.
MIR. Purdy--I contend there has been something
done.
Mr.. Tucker--I don't see it.
Mr.. Stout thought they would succeed better were
they to hold evening instead Of afternoon sessions.
Dir. Evarts also tbought that for gentlemen to
meet at , o'clock when they intended to dine up
town at would not be course likely 10 insure the
most profitable sessions.
After considerable discussion tho resolution ~
rainisd above was adopted.
