A f TER m extensive practice of upwards of sttA- twenty years, continues to secure Patents Ill the United States also in Great Britain, France and other foIei gn countries. Caveats, Specifications, Bonds, Assignments and all Pa- pers or Drawings for Patents, executed on lib era! terms, aud with despatch. Researches made into American or Foreign works to test inc validity or utility of Patents or Inventions and legal or other advice rendered in ai matters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any Patent furnished by remitting one dollar. Asst gnnents recorded at Wash ington.
 The Agency is not only the largest in N,w England, but through it, inventors have ad- vantages for securing Patents, of ascertaining the patentahl:ty of inventions, unsurpassed by, ifnot immcasurably superior to. any which can be offered them elsewhere. The Testimo- niaIs given below prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE. than the subscriber and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES AND ABIL IrY, he would add that he has abundant req son to believe, and can prove, that at no oth- CT office of the kind are the charges for pro- fesslonal services so moderate. The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate a vast collection of specifications and official decis- ions relative to Patents.
 These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechanical works and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Eu- rope, render him able beyond question. to of. fer superior facilities for obtaining Patents. All necessity of a journey to Washington, to procure patent, and the usual great de- lay there, are here saved inventors.

 CHARLES MASON,

 EDMUND BURKE,
 Commi ;sioner ot Patents, Mir. R. H. Eddy has made for me THIR. TEEN applications, on all but ONE of which patents have been granted, and that is NOW PENDING: Such unmistakable proof of great talent and ability on his part leads me to re- commend aH inventors to apply to him to pro- cure their patents as they may be sure of having the most faithful attention bestowed on their cases, and at very reasonable char ges.'
 During eight months, tie subscriber, in the course of his large practice, made on TWICE rejected applications, SIXTEEN APPEALS, EVERY ONE of which was decided in HIS FAVOR, by the Commissioner of Patents

TRIBUTE TO WoMEN.-The celebrated trave Ter, Layard, paid the following handsome trib- ute to women :-"I have observed that women in all countries are civil, obliging, tender and humane. never addressed myself to them decently and friendly without getting friendly answer. With man it has often been other wise In wandering over the barrens of inhos- pitable Denmark. and through honest Sweden and frozed Lapland; rude and churlish Fin land; unprincipled Russia; and the wid ely spread regions of the wandering Tartar; if hungry, dry, wet, cold or sick, the women hay ever been friendly, and to add to this virtue, (so worthy the appellation of beuevolence,) those actions have been performed in so free and kind manner, that if I WAS thirsty I drank the sweetest d-aught, and if hungry ate the coarsest morsel with double relish"
 Loyal refugees from East Tennessee, who are familiar with the sentiments of the people there, assert that a maj jority of the savehold- CTS Tn that section will vote and would have voted for emancipation, had an opportunity been given them to freely do so. They con- tend that emancipation ot the negroes will al- so give freedom to poor class of whites, who have heretofore been mere serfs to the lordiy, slaveholding, secession proprietors, and this point is now fully understood by the white people.
 We find the following paragraph in the September number of the American Pu5zish- er's Circular:
 "A friend who has been visiting Fitz Greene Haleck, at Guilford Conn.,, tells us that the venerable poet. now in his sixty-eighth year, is in most excellent health, and that he is li- onized by the ladies whenever he makes his appearance at the Pavilion. His eye is as bright, and he is as full of fun and anecdote, as in bygone days. Time certainly deals very gently withi the genial author of ' 'Alnwick Castle'"
