R. H. EDDY, SOLICITOR OF PATENTS. Late Agent .. s. Potent O6ice, Washington, (under the Act of l837) 75 State Street, opposite Kilby Street.
 BOSTON

A FrER an extensive practice of upwards of Atwenty years. continues to secure Patents in the United States, also in Great Britain France and other foreign countries. Caveats. Specifications. Bonds, Assignments and all Pa psrs or Drawings for Patents, executed on fb- eral terms. and with despatch. Researches made into American or Foreign works, to test the validity or utility of fPatents oI Inventions and legal and other advice rendered in all matters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any Patent furnished by remitting one dollar. Assignments recorded at Washing ton. ...-s.. The Agency is not only the largest in New England, but through 1t, inventors have ad- yantages for securing Patents, of ascertaining the patentabihty of inventions, unsurpassed by. if not immeasurably superior to any which can be offered them elsewhere. The testirno- nials 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 ABILI- ". he would add that he has abundant req son to believe, and can prove, that at no other office of the kind are the charges for profes- sional services 50 moderate. The mmense p,ac- tice of the subscriber during twenty yerrs past. has enabled him to accumulate a vast oollec- tion of specifications and official decisions rela- tive 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 8 journey to Washington, to procure a patent. and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors.
 TESTIMONIALS.
 <. "l regard Mr. Eddy as one of the MOST cAPA- BLE AND succEssTuL practitioners with whom have any official intercourse.
 CHARLES MASON,
 Commissioner of Patents
 I have no hesitation in assuring inventors PEFENT and TRUSTWORTHY, and more capable of putting their applications in form to secure for them an early and favorable consideration at the Patent 0ffce:
 EDMUND BURKE,
 Commissioner of Patents.
 "Mr. R. B. 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 ALI inventors to apply to him to pro cure their patents, as they may he sure of hay ing the most faitlful attention bestowed on their cases, and at very reasonable charges.
 Durine eieht months, the subscriber, in the course of his large practice, made on TwIC1 re- iectca applications, SIXTEEN APPEALS, EV- ERY oNE of which was decided in HIS FAVOR, by the Commissionef of Patents n Jan.1 1ssS. n lySs '6AsH paid for Oats, Buckwheat, and

TIT HAS BECOME ESTABLISHED IN ALL III parts of Europe, and is in like manner be- coming THE Machine all over the loyal North. Such unparalled success is due to the merit of the Machine, as all may see upon examination. | We challenge comparison, and invite all who | desire a perfect Sewing Machine to test for THEMSELVES Send or bring work which other Machines cannot do, and the WEED will do it. They use two threads with a straight needle and shuttle, making the lock stitch, which is alike on both sides, and for ee ECONOMY, DURABILITY, ELASTICI- TY and BEAUTY. it is the only stitch worthy of use Are sim pie in construction and never get out of order are kept clean without taking apart or moving l screw run easily, and as still as the most nervous person could wish They stitch, hem, fell, bra d, cord. bind and gather, without basting. They use silk. cotton or linen thread, and will sew from one to twenty thicknesses of Marseiaes without any change whatever, and make every stitch perfect.
 The Manufacturing Machine is, without doubt, the best for all kinds of heavy army clothing. tailoring, &c., and yet the same Ma. l chine will stitch perfectly the finest shirt bos- om In proof of their superiority over other machines, we can refer to many of the leading clothing houses in the Eastern States now us- ing them, who have tried and laid aside the other standard Machines. The Manufacturing Machines are set to run at different rates of speed. from three to five stitches to i revolu- tion, although all our Machines may be run by steam and bear tremendous speed A manu- facturer, of No. 9l Washington street, Chicago, writes that ''the No Maceine has been run. ming by steam there at greater rate of speed than any machine has ever been capable of en- during.'' The test mentioned was l, 100 stitch es per minute.
 We would cali the special attention of Boot and Shoemakers to the fact, that the WEED makes the tightest stitch and fills the holes in the leather better han any Machine extant- They are fast snperseding all other Machines with the leading Boot, Shoe and Harness Man. ufacturers. S

It was our good fortune to hear Rev. Mr.
Italians lecture on the religious aspect of In
dia, at Casco street church, on Sunday even
ing last. The speaker had the adyantaqe,-
not always possessed by lecturers on foreign
coantries,-of having witnessed whereof he
testified. He had been missionary for near
" seven years, to that benighted country
hayingsbeen sent out by the Free Baptist Mis-
slonary Society. The lecture was highly in
teresting to large understanding nearly
two hours. The degradation Of these del1d-
ed people, religious and morally, was depicted
with graphic power; and the sef-denying la
bors Of the missionaries in that field, and the
glorious results, in the shape of converts and
native preachers, made the heart sing for joy.
We were told what Bhudism is inthat degrad-
ed land,-and what it aims to be-justifying,
by the teachings of its Bramins, violation of
every clause in the decalogue. In this they
glory-admiting the superiority of christiani-
ty, even to their benighted minds--but insist
ing that il good enough for them, and beg
ging the christian missionaries to mind their
own Du6ll6SS anu ISb tuSlI clOllc. IUB CIlFiS-

Mr.. ii. will return to his work in June next
meantime he will stir up the churches to
aid the good cause with money. Quite ahand-
some sum was collected for this purpose on
Sunday evening. He is an effective speaker
and well calculated to be a powerful auxiliary
to this great cause. Either IN singing their
hymns, reeiting their prayers, exposing their
inconsistencies. inconceivable, or pressing the
good cause home to his hearers-he evinced
an aptness which shew him to be good sol

ploy them, and to make the choice of what
work they wish to perform. Idleness will not
be tolerated among them, and all contracts
they make must be strictly kept.
