COMMITTING PRISONERS.—We have before alluded
to the practice of committing prisoners over the assizes, to
quarter sessions for trial. We have been fi woured this week
with the following statement on the subjiact, which we re-
quest our country magistrates to peruse 'with care :—" In
the time of Baron Wood, when at the St afford assizes, he
held that the assizes being a GENERAL ;tool delivery, ALL
prisoners in custody at the time were entitled to be tried;
and those against whom no bills had been preferred (being
reserved for the quarter sessions) were all ordered to be dis-
charged. Commitments for trial at the next quarter ses-
sions (which are not frequent when assizes may intervene)
are, therefore, deemed irregular.' " it is really high time
that this unjust and illegal practice were put a stop to, for
it involves in point of fact ♦ FALSE ThIIMISONMENT, and
tends to subject many an INNOCENT man to needless pain
and loss. As to the question of expense, it has no righteous
connexion with the matter at all, which is one of justice,
and not of money. A magistrate has no right, as a mere
matter of volition, to delay the trial of a priisoner for a single
hour. The law orders that such trial shall take place with•
out more delay than is necessary to carry out the arrange-
ments made by Act of Parliament ; and certainly it is most
preposterous that the men whose business it is to administer
the laws, should themselves be guilty of their violation,-
Nottingham Review.
COLONIZING OREGON.—We have sOready briefly
noticed the fact, that a brig was about to sail, or had sailed
from Newbury Port for the Columbia River; but the parti-
culars, which we learn front the Newbury port Herald, and
other sources, are too interesting to Oe omitted. The
brig Henry, commanded by Captain Kilburn, is
owned by Mr. John Cushing, the father of our
late Minister to China, a wealthy and enter-
prising merchant of the ancient town -we have named.
We are told by the New Providence Herald that some " three
or four hundred spectators gathered at the wharf to wit-
ness the brig's departure, and there were many moist eyes
among those who took leave of their friends. Reli-
gious exercises were had on the occasion, prayer being
offered by the Rev. Mr. Campbell, and a brief address made
by the Rev. Dr. Dana. One of the passengers arrived frail
Boston in the cars a few moments after the brig cast off
and was put on board by a pilot boat. The -vsssel went down
the river in good style, with a fine breeze, and, as the bare'
meter was rising, there was a good probabi,liity that she will
carry pleasant weather with her till clear of the coast. The
people on the wharf gave them a parting: salute of three
cheers, which were responded to from the brig."—New York
