ON the part Of any American publisher Such books

as fast as they appear they become monopoles in

der the plea Of right, acquired by the addition of
notes Of American decisions the latter claim an UNI
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work nov
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles but will reprint the standard

which have been studiousy kept out Of the Law

cute device. hF
Church architecture is probably one of the best in
dicaons of the degree Of wealth in a country, as
its indulgence is one of the Injuries which album
dance united with good taste superinduces. Judg-
ing by this standard, Boston folks feel pretty rich
now compared to what the old purtans did, for of
late years great attention has been paid to the archi-
tectural ornament Of churches We have now in
Boston some beautiful specimens of this art and
among the finest is the church lately erected by the
New Jerusalem Society, in Bowdoin street, near the
throughout in the most elaborate Gothic style, with
black oak galleries, altar, &c; and is lighted en-
tlrely by stupendous window OF stained glass
The effect OF the interior is most imposing, the Ii
beral proportions, sombre aspect, and mellowed
light, inducing the best possible frame of mind for
devotional duties In the centre of the chance is
lofty pyramd-shaped structure of black oak, replete
with Gothic beauties, wherein the holy word" Of
the New Jerusalemites is deposited. The appear
ance of this, and knowledge Of the fanciful super
stitions of this Sect sheds deep awe even upon the
uncommuning worshipper. s.H
Determined, if possible, to keep your readers ad-
time to time, have now to say that very emerge
tic movement IS in progress among many of our most
active citizens for the purpose OF securing the adop
ton Of the LongPond project, at the earliest possi
going for pure water TO be brought in by the city and
TO be paid for by the tenants who use it, and as the
alternative in case that is rejected, they deter
mined to raise the banner Of free water, at once,
and have brought in at the public expense and dis
tributed free Such a proposition as this, coming
from respectable body of men would be sure TO 90
down, as all g-rag-and-bob-taildom would be GER
tain to vote for it. What may be the result Of this
piece of fnesse, cannot pretend to saw but should
think thar would bo tha adO nofth +

betting has already taken place in that vicnty-the
supporters of each of the animals arc taking the
most triling odds against their favoritc-both are in
such good favor that their is ne telling which has
the call, if either has, The may be said OF the
betting in this neighborhood, all! parties are very shy
in their offers. As to the betting on time, to il
taken that it is done in I'm. 38s 8 to that it is
done in I'm 3is even that it is done under I'm. 35s
There is more doing on time than on the horses
