Sewing Macatn® Cases.—During this and the next month several important sewing ma- chine cases will be argued before the Commis- sioner of Patents, most of them being on appli- cations for extension of patents, among which isone concerning the Wheeler & Wilson ma. chine, the patent for the teeder of that machin: being about to expire.

The dispatches are of such a mature that tue D- partment declines to make them public. thor the statement is authorized that nothing ap- pears to justify the apprebensions expressed ia the daily papers as to the treatment of Mr. Bliss and ancther member of the Lega- op, as will be seen by the follow ing ‘extract from the letter of Command Kirkland, of the United States steamer Wasp: “Mr Washburne and family were received on board the Wasp on the ivth of Sep- tember; the vessel remaining at her aucnorage until the 12th; her Commander ia the mean- time haying had a friendly wterview with Lopez. On the tuth of Sepiember 1 received on board from a Paraguayan steamer the Hoa. Chas. A. Washburne, bis wife. cbild, private secretary, man servant and maid servant. On the 11th I called on President Lopez at bis headquarter: back of Villetta and took leave of tum. He expressed the desire to be on friendly relations with the United States deploring at the same time what he termed the uuprincipled condu-t o: Mr. Washburne. I thaaked him for his feelings towards the United States, but declined to disenss the action ot Air. Wash- burne. I requested him to send a vessel with & flag of truce to escort tie Wasp as far as the Brazilian Lroa clads anchored below the bit- teries at Angostura. This he cheerfaliy as- sented to I feel bound to add that the Para- guayans treated this vessel in the most hospi- table manner, furnishing fresh beef every day, aud fruit for all bands on several oces- sions.

A Femare -—The Baltimore Gazette of this morning says: Mention wits made a short time since of a young man named Joseph Boyd having presented at the counter of the Commercial sud Farmers’ Bank acheck for $2.13), payable to Josep Ruth, or bearer, and signed hy Cox & Brown, commission mer- chants of this city, aud asking ifit was good, and stating that he had teceived the same ina. letter through the post office trom Joseph Ruth. requesting him to it. Mr. Boyd was then arrested, Mr. Luther J. Cox. however, (one of the firm purporting to have signed the check, but who pronouaced it a well executed forgery,) testifying tothe good character of Boyd, trom baying bad business transactions wiih him forsome years. Belief in the ingo- cence of Mr. Boyd of an intent to utter a forg- ed check was very generally expressed at the time; and since then the police have wiil com. mendabie zeal, been endeavoring to terret out the guilty party. Suspicion tastened apon a female name Charlotte, alias Harriet. Myers, who was arrested on Monday last by Detective Boyd, charged with stealing from various hotels and boarding houses of this city, and who it appears had been employed by a brother of Hoyd as housekeeper. She was yesterday arraigned on the charge of torgery before Justice Bride. and the evidence against her being clear, together with her own confes- sion of guilt, she was fully committed for the action ot the Grand Jury. Previous to her committal she wrote the uame of the firm of ox & Brown, which wasa fac simile of the signature on the forged eheck.
