The reported evacuation of Mobile is confirm
ed. The Times says the information Is un-.
doubted.
Twelve refugees who left Mobile ON the 10th
and arrived at New Orleans, stated that the
evacuation commenced the day before their
departure; that the guns and ordnance stores
were going to Selma by railroad and water.
simultaneously with this movement, sweep

A FTER 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 pers or Drawings for Patents, executed on lib eral terms. and with despatch. Rssearches made into American or Foreign works, to test the validity or utility ofPatents ol 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.
 The Agency is not only the largest in New England, but through it, inventors have ad- vantages for securing Patents of ascertaining the patentability of inventions, unsurpassed by, if not immeasuraby superior to any which can be offered them elsewhere. The testimo- 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- TY, 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 profess sional services so moderate. The i'm mense p,ac tice of the subscriber during twenty yerrs past, has enabled him to accumulate vast collec- tion of specifications and official decisions rela- tive to Patents.
 These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechan1cal WOrkS, ana fulI accounts or 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 a patent. and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors. "

 EDMUND BURKE, sIlPay
 Commissioner of Patents, "Mr 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 ALL inventors to apply to him to pro cure their patents, as they may he sure of hay ing the most faithful attention bestowed on their cases, and at very reasonable charges''g During eight months, the subscriber, in the | course of his large practice, made on TWICE re- | iected applications, SIXTEEN APPEALS, EV | FRY ONE of which was decided in HIS FAVOR, | by the Commissioner of Patents.
