apprentices are taught their rights, masters
win be reminded of their duty.
From the Baltimore Chronicle, May26.1
We understand case has been lately
decided in the City Court, embracing
principle of great practical importance.
The facts, as represented to US, are
shortly these "A boy was bound an
apprentice to cooper, and had served
for the term of six years. During this
period, the apprentice, we are inform
ed, was only instructed in the subordi4
nate branches of the business, such as
the manufacture of flour barrels, &c.
and that he was utterly ignorant of the
mode of making pork or beef barrels,
&c. comprehending the more difficult
and more profitable part of the business.
He brought his action against his former
master for damages, and, as we are in
formed, recovered upwards of three
hundred dollars. These are the broad
outlines of the case as stated to US; and
if we have erred in any point, we will
cordially correct any mistatement. Mas
tiers who undertake the instruction of
apprentices will learn, by this decision,
that they must teach them every branch
OF the business, or that they will be
heavily responsible in damages.-It is
case of general application.

posed that this order had its origin In
Spain:-Even the Cortes, liberal as they
may be, have reason to dread such arma-
ments in the colonies, and as to Ferdinand
or Ministers, if there are any in his inter-
est, we cannot believe that they, admit
ting them to have the power, which they
have not, would ever assent to, much
less authorize it. If, then, it has been
the spontaneous act of the local authori-
ties, chat can be the object? Does there
exist treaty, or negotiation in progress,
for ceding Cuba to England? Or in any
and every event, are the people of that
fine Island preparing to assent their smde-
