The new code of practice for New York, as re-
ported b. the commissioners has passed the State
Senate by of % to 3, and tie House by vote
Of IA TO 9. Thus the old cumbersome and uncertain
practice has been swept away. Although the new
code cannot be expected be perfect IN all ats de-
tails, it is based sound principles and will make
far better system than that superseded.
LIABILITY OF PHYsIcrANs.-It has been decided by
one of the New York courts that physician when
once employed TO attend patient cannot withdraw
himself without giving due notice the patient I'M
less the latter refuses to take his prescriptions.
A RIeHTEoUs VERDIcr.-A verdict has just been
rendered in the State Circuit Court of Kentucky, at
Lexington, of $1,000 and costs, in favor of Cassus
M. Clay, against those who destroyed his printing
Office of the True American in lS45. This is a
righteous verdict. The press is the guardian OF the
liberty of the people, and should be free from all ty
rannous restrictions either of monarchies or mobs.
bill to abolish the death penalty for MURDER and
substitute Imprisonment for life. has recently been in
troduced into the Senate of New York. The bill re-
quires TINT in passing sentence the court shall deslg
whether the prisoner shall be kept haId labor,
or in solitary confinement Should proof sufficient
be submitted to the court of appeals to satisfy that
court, that person has been wrongully convicted,
new trial may be ordered, but pardon shall be
granted until new trial is granted.
PROPERTY OF MARRIED WomEN-The provisions
of the law which has just passed the Legislature OF
New York. substantially as follows:
SEC. l. provides that the real and personal property
of any female who may hereafter marry, which
she shall own at the time of marriage, or the rents
issues, and profits thereof shall be subject to the
disposal of her husband be liable for his debts
and shall continue her sole and separate property
if she were single female
SEC. 2, makes the provision in respect to fe-
males now married, except in relation to debts o.
husbands already contracted.
SEC. 3, makes it lawful for married female to re-
ceive by gift, grant, DEVISE beques from any per
other than her husband, and to hold the same,
if she single, und all its rents issues and pro
fits.
Sec 4, runs thus "All contracts made between
persons in contemplation of marriage, shall remain
in full force after such marriage takes place."

John Jacob Astor, the Journal of Commerce says,
does not exceed S750000O, of which about "a, OO0,
600 is real, and s3,4OO.OOO personal. The real is
given in the form of life esates with power of let

The estate Sentinel" of Monday, informs its read
ers that the democrats have elected their Mayor in
New York City; but it doesn't to have heard
any thing of the Councimen. yet from the cities
of Brooklyn, Albany, and Hudson, in the State,
or from New Orleans in the -GreenSburgh
Repository.
We consider the municipal elections in New York
of more than ordinary Importance, because of the
weight they carry politically. No other city cleo
tons attract much attention are SO important
THIS is the why we did not fail to notice the
result above alluded to, and did not see cause to
60 into detail. The city is democratic, and that
enough. 1t is true believe, that the wings have
a reduced majority in the Common Council but the
reason of this is explained by the N. Y. Evening
Mirror, Taylor paper, follows:
''Mr. Brady ran far ahead of the wing ticket, and
indeed has saved it from total route II is true that
in consequence of the democrats running two more
tickets in more than half the wards, the wings have
retained the common council, but the average demo-
cratic majority in the Tribunes Clay city is nearly
three thousand"
If the wings draw any consolation from this.
they are welcome to il.

unpretending record Of facts, many of which came

cannot fail to carry conviction to every impartial
mind.

speak particularly of this book, and give our

shall endeavor to do this hereafter In the meantime

to the Evansville Commercial "to tho retreat Of
the 2nd Indiana Regiment at the battle of Buena Wis

battle than the 2nd Regiment; and be further remark
