IRON AND STEEL PATENT Dactsion.—In the case of the application of Robert Mushet for an extension of his patent for the improvement in the manufacture of iron and steel, the Commis- sioner of Patents has decided in the negative. The patent will expire to-morrow. It is one of these owned by Messrs. Morrell, Griswold, Winslow, known as the Bessemer steel patents. INDIAN LANDS.—The Commissioner of the General Land Office has jast had prepared thirty-one patents, embracing nearly twenty thousand acres, in favor of certain reservees pamed in the fifth article of the teealy con- cluded October 14, 1865, between the United States and certain chiefs and hcadmen of the Cheyenne and Arrapshoe tribes of Indians. The lands are situated in Colorado Territory,on the north bank of the Arkaneas river. Hon. P. H. LA Porr TrReNcu, third Secretary of the British Legation at Washington, has ob- tained leave of absence and sailed for Liverpool on the steamship City of Brooklyn on Saturday. There is some prospect that Mr. Trench may be transferred to Florence—or rather to Kome, if the new seat of the Italian government is placed there—but all who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance here will hope that he may return to Washington, where his courtesy and his good feeling towards Americans have mads him peculiarly acceptable. ‘The programme for the approaching lecture season, presented by the Grand Army of the Repnblic in our advertising colums to-day, must command at once attention and admiration. By reference to the announcement it will be ob- served that the range of subjects to be treated covers nearly every top'c of current thought and interest, while the persons selected as speakers are recognized everywhere as the very foremost in their respective spheres of action. We con- gratulate the people of Washington on the ex- cellent prospect before them for intellectual enjoyment this winter, and at the same time bespeak for the organization under whose auspi- ces it is to be afforded the greatest measure of success. JvDGE ARTHUR McArtucr, who was ap- pointed, a few weeks since, as the fifth J udge of the Supreme Court of the Districtof Colnmbia, under a recent act of Congress, was to-day upon the bench here for the first time, presiding inthe Criminal Court. He js a Scot by birth, and came to this country when quite young. He studied law at Springtield, Mass., and was sent by Hon Caleb Cushing, in 1851, to Wilwaukie, Wig., to conduct the famous St. Croix chancery suit, in which Mr. Cushing was interested. In 1853 he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Wis- consin, and afterwards practiced his profession at the ber with great success. In 1855 he was appointed Judge of the Supreme Court in the Milwaukie circuit, a position he held for nine years. He was a war democrat during the great civil struggle, and is now in full sympathy with the prerent administration.

TWO CENTS. THE WAR. Las? NIGHT TAHLEOR«ms, ‘The following embrace the most important items of war news received here by cable last night : A SEVERE ENGAGEMENT. Lowpon, Sept. 20.—(Special tothe New York Heraid.)—A telegraphic dispatch trom Orleans, 20th, says an engagement had taken place at Viesoux. Twenty-tive thousand French massed near the northerly part of the town were at- tacked by fifteen thousand Prussians. The Pru:sians were mowed down by the French ar- tillery, but after considerable loss they recrossed the river in good order. The Prussians will fall back on another army corps. THE PEACE PROSPECTS. Tours, Sept. 20.—It is reported, as the resuit of an interview between Jules Favre and King William, that the hope of a speedy peace is not abandoned. Prussia is not disposed to consent to anarmistice. If there is peace at all, it mast be settled immediately. M. Thiers started to- day on a special train for Vienna, whence he will proceed to St. Petersburg. While here he receiveda dispatch from Prince Gortschakott, inviting bim in the name of the Czar to come to St. Petersburg, and urges him to hasten his journey. He declares bimself satistied with the ‘London mission, and expec’s equal success in Kussia. He affirms that the opinion of England was much more favorable to France on his de- partore than on bis arrival. Lonpon, Sept. 20.—Colonel_ Frank Moore, of the American legation at is, arrived in London this morning, the bearer of 1mportant dispatches to the American legation here. He -eturns to Paris this evening. The dispatches are said to have connection with the peace question. Loxpor, Sept. 20. Times.}—A_ dixpate chester Ezaminer sa {Special to the New York om Berlin to the M the report of Russia's arming is regarded as simply sensational. The Sastern Budget, Count Beust'’s London organ, this evening contains a dispatch from St. Petersburg which says the reports that Rassia has i against any diminution of French territory is untrue.

No one believes thi , take an active part in the present "ar. “rho feeling toward France, however,‘ very favorable. M. Thiers has ac- omplished nothing by his appeal to prevent ihe diememberment of France ge ig interven- tion, which was bah Aah .d. The only other yoint pressed was that the present French government is the best now possible. If it is overthrown, it will be followed by one far more repugnant to the other powers. Earl Granville replied that he was quite aware of this, but could wait. BISMARCK WRITES TO LONDON. Loxrow, Sept. 20.—A dispatch just received here from Count Von Bismarck, dated the 19th, reiterates the ‘pole unofficial statement that Prussia will not dictate what government France sballaccept, but cannot conclude apeace except with a government having legal au- thority and able to guarantee the terms to be observed. The North German Gazette qualities the posi- tion of Bismarck by saying —‘* Bismarck con- sents to see Fayre, premising, however, that Germany is not disposed to intermeddle in the internal affairsot France. ‘The German States are ready to recognize the republic when they are sure the French people preter that form of government; but to protect military operations it is necessary to recognize, in territory actually occupied, the authorities left by the empire. Moreover, it is still unknown whether Marshal Bazaine recognizes the republic and govern- ment at Paris. Indeed, it is reported he ex- pressly disavows both.” TOURS ALARMED. Tours, S As it is possible for the Prussians to send a force here, or- ders have been issued to remove further south the enormous quantitiis of storcs and army provisions which have been collected here. All telegraphic communication with Paris ceased yesterday. The journals here ex- press apprehensions that Tours may be at- tacked, in which case, they say, the government will be removed to Bordeaux. The wife of Marshal Bazaine is m Toure; she receiv letcer from her husband a few days ago. It was sent out of Metz by a balloon, which, forta- nately, fell outside the Prussian lines. The con- tents have not been made public. A RAILWAY ACCIDENT. Atdreadful railroad accident occurred near here early this morning.. ‘Two trains collided and eleven persons were killed outright, one of whom, M. Duval, was one of the editors of the Par.s Journal des Debots. Besides these, twen- ty-tive were seriously injured. THE SIEGE OF ROME. FLORENCE, Sept. 20, 8 a. m—The siege of Kome has commenced.

THE SOUTH GERMAN STATES. Minister Delbruck bas left the King’s head- quarters for Munich, where the future orgaui- zation of Germany will be discussed. The ques- tion is whether the South German States shall simply proclaim adhesion tothe North German- 1¢ Confederation under the Ignis 3 tution or fwhether a Constituent Assembly be called and a new constitution adopted for both North = South Germany. Bismarck prefers the jormer, AN APPEAL FOK AID.

The French forces, consisted of three divisions, commanded by Gen. Vinoy, and were supported by a strong re- doubt, and they were defeated nevertheless. THE NEW GERMAN CONFEDERATION, Lonpon, Sept. 21._{Special to the New York Telegram.|—The professional politicians have matured their plans in regard to the new Ger- man Confederation, to be called the Nord Deutche Bund; Herr Delbruck to be President. A council has been called at headquarters, and the Baden and Wurtemburg governments are busily conferring in regard to the political future. Herr Lascar, a National Liberal Deputy, is going to stump the North German States. It is proposed that Frankfort shall be declared at the same time neutral and the capital of the new Confederation. Thus it will hold towards the new Confederation the same position that ‘Washington and the District of Columbia do to the United States. This is the first direct step towards what has long been the dream of Ger- man patriots, not merely German union, but a German union of allied republics. THE FRENCH FLEET IN THE BALTIC.
