The Woodworth patent monopoly—second lease of fourteen ycars—expired, we believe, last Saturday; and the power of the Patent Oflice being exbausted, the boldere of this gigantic monopoly are moving heaven aod earth to get from Congress a ‘hird lease of fourteen yeara, A few facts and figures concerning this patent case will show to oor readers—including, per- haps, some ineredulons members of Congress—the enormity of the taxation of this monopoly upon the mecbanical industry of the country and the pockets of the people at large. ‘This patent is of & machine for planing boards, and bas been d to the exclusive benefit of the partice eovecrned by two grants from the Pet at Office, ranning through the long period of cuty-cigbt *.

In the House we anderstand that this monopo- ly have secured and retained one hundred and six members sare—(106); and that the compa- y’s policy isthe simple plan of asking @ man his price and giving it to him, Among the lobby Jeaders in this department we suspect that our cotemporaries, Webb of the Courier, Weed of the Aibapy Journal, and Simonton, and perhaps Wesley & Co. of the New York Times, have each a very long finger in the pie, and are all of the opinion that the company concerned have been very shabbily treated in the expenses and troubles resulting from the tardiness of Congress in coming to their relief to save them from tarvation. A Mr. James G. Wilson, of New York, is, we believe, the principal owner of the patent now, while Mr. W. W. Woodworth, of Yonvkers, receives a lobby fee of eight thousand «ollars a session, and fifty dollars a week travel- ling expenses. ‘These detaiis all serve to illustrate, to some «xtent, the enormous profits of this Woodworth satent, the heavy tax which for upwards of twenty-five years it has inflicted upon the coantry, ond the princely cash resources with which the company are thus enabled to operate upon Coa- gress and the lobby for another extension. The first thing required in the House is a committee ot investigation upon al) these monster patent cases in the Imap, with power to send for persons and papers Sach a committee in the Colt pa- tent case was followed by the best results and the most valuable discoveries. Let us have, then, just such another committee on this Woodworth patent application, and of men who are unbought and can’t be sold, and we verily believe that it will result in saving millions of money to the me- chanical industry of the country. A special committee! Bribery and corruption are afoot. Give us a special patent extension investigating committee. In behalf of the people, we call for the committee. 'The World’s Dotngs in 1856. We publish this morning a carefully compiled chronology of the important events that have taken place all over the world, excepting in our own country, during the year which is now touch- ing on its last moments. The chronology of the United States forms a separate article, which will be published by us in a day or two, The year 1856 bas not been so prolific in great events, calculated to excite the mind and im- prees the imagination, as its immediate predeces- sor was, That was signalized by the existence of a war in which the interests of all, and the forces of many, of the European governments were en- gaged. The siege of Sebastopol is, of itself, sufficient to transmit to the latest posterity an ineffaceable record of 1855. This year, thank God, bas no such terrible record impressed upon it. Its vietories are'those of peace and of pro- gress—notof war. The arts and eciences, instead of being made subservient to the destruction ot armies, fleets and cities, have beea pur- suing a more legitimate course. Railroads have been projected or opened § in Spain, Italy, Russia, South America and Australia, The electric telegraph has been ccmenting nations in bonds of mutual advantage. Steamship communications bave been extendad throughout all oceans and seas. Among the most important of such extensions is the inauguration of a line of steamers between England and Aus- tralia. But greatest and most wonderfal of all the projects of the year, is that which within the next twelve months will result in connecting Europe and America by a submarine telegraph. These are some of the victories of peace; and well bag it been said that they are more renowned than thore of war. And yet, although the civilized nations of the earth have been at peace, the year has not been free from rumors and menaces of war. The Peace Conference at Paris performed its work ia a slovenly manner, and Jeft the Bolgrad and Isle of Serpents questions to keep alive apprehensions of & renewal of hostilities, The royal obstiaacy of the King of Naples bid fair at one time to bring down about his cars the thundering fleets of Roglwnd ond France; but that would have in- volved, probably, another struggle with Russia — and vo the Aliles contented themselves wi'h re mopetrapces and menaces, . A monarchieal insurrection in the Canton of Ni ufehatel Unreatened to place the Swiss Confede- recy in hostile attitude to the King of Prussia; wd the danger is not altogether averted yet. Bat the Kuropean governments are for the most port under bonds to keep the peace towards each ober, for war might bring revolution in i« twain, end revolution might sweep away forever all vestiges of the present political order of things, Avd therefore it is that such extreme solicitade to not drive matters to extremities is evineed on all hands, The United States themselves have not been oltogetber free from disturbing and dangerous questions weet of Buropean governments With Fngland we have had the delicate and dificult questions of Central America and of the Crimean enlistments to settle, The first ap- pears to have been quietly resolved by the treaty effected with Mr, Dallas, and now before the Se- nate for ratification, in combination with that other treaty between England and Honduras, in which the former retrocedes the Ruatan Islands and virtoelly abrogates ite fictitious Mosqr'* pre tea toate. ‘The entistment question was resolved by the demieal by our government of the Britieh M)- cleter ond Consuls implicated; and eo tar as the Englich government concerned, it simply re- taliatcd by the juweetiture of Me. Cramptoo with the Order of the Bath, the appointment of the dismiss a Consuls to other official ports, and the seciiatog ever then to send » Minister to Wash- ington. With the Danish government we have jad som: trouble in reference to the Sound dues; bat the crisis has been postponed by the exten- slow of the treaty to 14th June, 1857, With the Hanoverian government a lke qnestion has arten in reference to the Stade dues collected on the Elbe; but mo definite action has yet been token or revelwed on. There are the only clouds thet bave— throughout the year—cromed our | polities! horizon, coming from the Earopean } | } continent. Neither have we been entirely free from diffl- culties ip car connexion with some of the South aed Central American republics, The Walker erpedition to Nicaragua bas resulted in altying egeivet it the governments of all the Central American States and of many of the Scoth Americam, apd protests and remonstranoes have Leen forwarded to our government on ac- count of ite reception of the Padre Vijil as Minis ter (rom Nicaragua. Besides this, we havea pend'rg correspondence tbe subject of @ massacre of American citizens vt » Aneil last, and « contemplated in- Denore | ‘crease of toll on our mail matter croming the Isthmus. Of course both these matters will be settled by diplomatic means; but it is not so cer- tain thatthe Walker affair will not eventually ua, Mexico bas had her usual experience of revolu- tions in ber territory. The year 1955 found the dictator, Santa Anna, once more an exile, and Comonfort, one of the leaders of the movement against him, Provisiona: President. The govern- ment of the latter has, in imitation of Spain, pass ed a law forbidding the church commanities to hold real estate, and permitting their tenants to become proprietors in fee, by the payment ofa certain capitalization of their rent, This law, well received by the people, has placed the church in antagonism to the government, and revolutions in various parts of the republic have been the consequence. The government however, seems for eo far to have triumphed over the revolutionista, Mexico has also been menaced by Spain and England, in connection with cer- tain bonds and claims, Spain prepared an ar- mada to invade Mexico; but, on learning that Mexico, in conjunction with persons in the United States, was preparing a retaliatory expedition against Cuba, sbe has abandoned the project. The British matter has been amicably adjusted. There have been, during the year, revolutions in Spain, Hayti, Peru and Sicily; severe earth- quakes in India and Egypt; inundations, with terrible loes of life and property, in France and in the Punjaub; volcanic eruptions in the Mo- lucea islands; colliery and gunpowder explosions in England and Candia; great fires and riots in China, and an unusual number of shipwrecks. Liberal ideas and toleration in religious matters have been considerably developed. The Saltan of Turkey, much to the offence of all good Mus- sulmen, has attended balls given by the French and English ambassadors; the services of Protes- tant and Catholic churches have been permitted in Constantinople, and the unconditional equali- ty of Christians in Turkey has been proclaimed; the Czar has permitted the Pope to appoint Roman Catholic Bishops in St. Petersburg sand Warsaw; the Eoglish Ministry has favored the inauguration of a Peerage for life system, and of an abolition of the Jewish Disabilities bill. and Irieh and English political exiles have had un- conditional pardons extended to them. ‘The year has been signalized by many interest- ing and important events: among them, the signing of the treaty of peace at Paris; the birth of an heir to the French throne—the King of Algiers; the coronation in Moscow of the Em- peror Alexander of Russia; the opening of the firet Parliament at Capetown, in the Cape of Good Hope; the holding of a free trade Con- gress in Brussels; the arrival at Liverpool of the schooner Dean Richmond from Chicago; the an- nexation of the kingdom of Oude to the British empire in India; @ British expedition against Persia; the commencement of a considerable Irish emigration to South America; the destruc- tion of the city of Granada, in Nicaragua, by General Walker; and extensive forgeries and de- falcations in Paris, London and New York. Altogether, the year 1856 has had its full share of memorable events. Let us flatter ourselves with the hope that the good preponderate over the bad. Amen! Tue News sy THE Evropa.—The intelligence by the Europa, which arrived on Saturday, con- tains two or three points of interest, and, as it may turn out, of considerable importance. England, as before stated, has consented to the meeting of tne Paris Conference, which is probably in session at the present moment. The Conference is eummoned by a Russian memorau- dum in relation to the Island of Sorpents, which Russia ciaims, on the ground that it was in her possession before the war, and that, as the Con- vention of Paris did not take it from her, sue has aright to keep it after the war. Russia ale: claims the town of Bolgrad. Bota these poin.s ere matiers of primary importance, because it Russia wins thei she may t some extent com- mand the Danube, to insure the free navigativa of which was one of the chief points in the weaty. The British Cabinet was opposed to the re- opening of negotiations upon the chief points settled by the Convention of Parir, but was willing to mect in conference, to settle secondary points, according to previous agreement, It ap- pears now that England has been obliged to con- sent to the request of Russa, and the result so far may be viewed in the light of a continental victory over Great Britain. To insure any real benefit from this temporary advantage—more than the time gained, which is a principal object in diplomocy—Russia must have a majority in the Conference matter that isin doubt as yet. The attention of the French government is evidently turned particularly towards the Prin- cipalities, and several pamphlets have appeared in Paris, doubtiess with the imperial sanction, suggesting plans for the or- ganization and government of the territory 0 leng in dispute, One of these brochures advo- cates the appointment of Marshal Pelissier, Graud Duke of Roumania, and uniting the Principalitic: under his government, The Journal des Débat:, which is presumed to speak the sentiments of the government, unless the articles are disavowed, is in favor of this suggestion, The Dats says, with an ill-aesumed air of generosity, that, were Lord Raglan alive, it would be proper to divide the honors by making him Grand Duke of Mol- davia, and Pelissier Grand Duke of Wallachia, but as Lord Raglan is dead, the French coe { mander should monopolize ali the spoils. Taw idea of the /).tals, that there are no living Englishmen who deserve marked reward for eminent tervices In the Crimea, is excessively egotistic and particularly French. We do not think that the diplomats of Downing street will be apt to look at the matter in the same light ; and if it is seriously pressed, we may look for bad feeling between France and England, with a train of attendant circumstances that may dis- turb the peace of Europe. Maoxmicent Pian vor Morn Crry Spots Ano Taxatiox.—Our city «reformers of tho Courier, after rummaging through the munic'pal history of New York from the days of Peter Stuyverant to the régime of Mayor Wood, come to the conclusion that all our precedents in city charters, &o., “ point to one legitimate bead—if not appointed directly by the State, at least bound to co-operate with an Execntive Board, which should be thus appointed —with full power and authority to control all the subordinate de- partments ander him, and to an elective conneil to advice with, originate, prepare aad perfect ordinances and other papers for the signature of the Executive.” “An Bxeoutive Board | What a splendid ideat what a magnificent artangement for spoils add An Exeeutive Bowrd ! to come down pionder! from Albany to supervise our city authorities and tel] them what to do! Create that Board, and it will be as profitable to belong to it as to the Woodworth Patent Company or the Pacific | railroad conspiracy. But should this “Executive Board” be established, we sball object to the ap- pointment of Gen. Web’ asa member. He has already irons enough in the fire for the spoils. ‘The “moral insanity” of Wall street is continu- ally breaking out in some new place. Goup From Carirorxta.—The Iinois arrived yesterday morning with $1,671 569 in gold. This is the last receipt we shall have this year, and we accordingly give our table of gold arrivals for the year.

Still the regu- larity of the shipments cannot fail to excite, ad- miration. Probably no staple of the Atlantic States affords so regular a yield as the gold of California.
