We have made this extract from MIR. Faux
ner's letter, as an act Of justice to the friends Of
Mr. Clay. and a triumphant vindication OF their
course, not only in the present crisis, but gener'

consideration of questions Of Importance. II
will be seen here what our principles have been

Important 10 Traueuers.-The following case
has been recently decided by the venerable Judge
Dasgett, in New Haven, after several days de-
liberation:-
Last spring, the agent for the New York and
New Haven Steamboat Company received and
properly booked, a small bundle from the plain
tiff. 10 be delivered 10 a firm in New York. The
bundle never reached its destination, but seemed
to have been lost. Ii appeared that the Steam
boat Company had, since 1926. offered By ad'
verusement to carry freight add basgsge-some
times at the risk Of the owners. and at other
tunes without any mention Of risk; and during
part of the time. baggage was advertised at the
risk Of the owners thereof, without any mention
of freight. Since October. 1880. however, no
limitation, either IN relation to .f'eigh! or bag,
gage, has been inserted by the Company. li''
Honor held.-That the Steamboat Company
were liable tor loss; and that even if the notice.
.. Baggage at the risk Of the owners" had been
continued, tie company would still have been
liable. as the bundle was freight and not bag
gage.
