United States Penal Cods.-The penal
laws of the United States have long
hssn known to be entirely deficient; but
The subject was so grave a one, and its
details to such degree perplexing,
hat revision of those laws has al
ways been contemplated with reluc-
rance, almost amounting to aversion!-
The defects of the system have become
% fragrant, however, as to overcome
,b;srehctance, aud the House OF Re-
nresentatives is at length seriously en-
gaeed in the discussion of bill embra-
cling such multitude of provisions for
the punishment Of offences that have
hitherto gone unpublished, as to excite
wonder that, under this defective sys-
tenn. so few crimes have been committed
within the. peculiar jurisdiction OF the
federal government. This bill will,
probably occasion much discussion and
difference Of opinion upon its details
but as it has been seriously entered
upon, we think it probable, that In
whatever shape it may be thrown by a
mendments, bill upon this subject
will take the form and force OF lac be-
fore the close of the present session.

Roads.-The Quarterly Review says:
1t is prevailing opinion in England,
that dead fiat road tires horse much
more than occasional inequalities the
change in the speed, and also in the
position of the muscles, is supposed to
be advantageous to the animal. Ano
Their English writer says, the curved
form of roads is found inadequate to OBJ
tain the end proposed, and that roads
are now laid fiat, carriages driving in
differently over every part. The same
writer says a weight suspended on
springs may be drawn over a road a.
bounding in small articles much easier
than the same weight can be drawn
without springs, and recommends the
application of springs to the heavier
wagons.
