Caution to u,t,aesses.-At the late cir. cult in Qneen's county, an action was tried, in which John pelletcran was plaintiff, and C. C. Moore defendant. for damages sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of the defendants not having appeared as witness in a cause pending betweent the plaintiff and C. k. Golden, at circuit court held at Troy in March last. The defendant had been snbpGnaed, and was very material witness for the plaintiff in the action, and, in consequence olhis absence, the damages obtained were alleged to have been much smaller tilanthev wonldhaye otherwise been. Several points were made on the trial, of no particular in tercst to the public; and we advert to the case only as warning to witnesses of the consequences Of disobeying legal
 process. The defendant undertook to prove sickness as an excuse for his ab- sence, but the weight ieyidence being
 against him, the jury, after a clear and impartial charge by judge Edwards, returned into court with verdict for the plaintiff of l,457 dollars damages and costs of suit.-.E Y. Cou. {, Eng.

to publish some statistical ;;otiess. is, which this subject will De embraeed.u Book-moking. g.-- here are about four thousand five hundred booksellers and vendors oi books in the United King dom. IT lame of most writers is very ephcmcral; chiefly owing to their choice of subjects of the day. or inc age or nation. English literature does not preserve above eight or tcn authors before the age of Shakespeare; not above twenty from Shakespeare to Ad- dlson; and scarcely fifty from the age Of Addison to the year lSCO. Since the days of Elizabeth one or two hooks or pamphlets per day have been print ed, but the subjects are absolute theolo- 2, forgotten politics, or superseded phi. losoply, and the majority in bad mo thod orbad taste. It has been the same in France, Germany, Italy, Holland. and doubtless was the same amongst the aneients, though We so often lament the loss of ancient works. The de- eiiise Of literature in England, il;ls been accelerated or caused by passion for novel reading, which deprives all other studies of their rcwaff. It resembles i the Roman literature in the decline of the empire; aud for some years past few hee!ss !a;;;;;t a;;t novels have paid their expenses. A good novel yields it's au. thor from Gl000 to EI5OO, and Dr.. JoIson's high price for his dictionary was but fl574. 4 novel written in in two months will yield iis author os. tooO as current speculation, and Eng
