From Ae American Union. A. CANADIAN SKETCH.

At the breaking out of civil disturb- ances tn Canada a lew years since, old Dr. K., resident of Barnston. boldly ayow.d his disloyalty. Wherever he went-and his professional services were constantly required in one direction O another-he loudly denounced the gov- ernment, and advocated reform. By the opposite party, he vas of course considered dangerous subject: the more so. because he possessed great in flu. nee in the community. Every few days, somc ncighbor not so generally esteemed as the Doctor. for having hint the indulgence of sentiments in unison wth his own. was arrested, imprisoned. and his estate, great O. small, con6sca- ted; yet himself escaped being reported to the higher powers, and went on, incl ting the people to rebellion.
 At length, however. knowledge of his radicalism was by some means con> veyed to the ear of authority, and or> ders for his arrest were forthwith issued. As the Doctor was leaving the house of patient one dark evening. person whom in the darkness of the night he could not distinguish. ran up to him quite out of breath and exclaimed

 were not sufficient tn defray his expen- ses. applied to Mr. B.rrell. ono of the most popular merchants of hi+ time, for advice N to the course he had best pur, sue in the very unpleasant dilemma in which he was placed. He informed Mr. Barrell of the particulars of his Aitu;.. tion. in his usual plain. honest manner, saying that his expenses were so much on the increase, and his profits were go small, that he thought he saould be obhged to give up his paper, and seek his fortune elsewhere. Mr. Barrell im- nnediatels remarked that his case was not 5, desperate as he imagined it to be, and recommended him to lash some of the most pnpular characters of the day in the most severe terms in his columns, which course he felt sure would not only bring his paper into more notice than it then was, but would greatly add to his subscription list and increase the patro. mage of advertisers. MF. Russel replied that sllcka course would be repugmsnt to his feelings. but as he always consid- cred Mr. Barrell as sincere friend and man of superior judgment. he would take hlS advice into scriC us consideration. On the morning of the next publication of the CentineI, when Mr. Barrell went into State street. he observed nlmos: ey- cry one with eyes aud mouths wide open, as 1t he WAS monster in human shape. and he could not solve the mystery of their looks until a gentleman asked him why Mir. Russel had lashed him so un- nercifuIly ln his paper of chat day ? Ar. Barrell at once stepped into an i,su

A gentleman well known in the University tor his tondness for natural history. He opened the hamper. and the momenL the ltd was opened out jumped a creature about Ghe size of an English sheen doc. covered with long shaggy hair, of n brownlsh colour. This was a young bear, born on Mount Leb ol, in Syria, few months before, who had now arrived 10 receive hls education at our learned Uni. versity.

YANKEE LAW IN ENGLAND.

If Punch and the Times abuse the
Yankee part of the Great Exhibition,
Lord Brougham and the Chief Justice
are industriously applauding Yankee
law. The London correspondent Of
the National Intelligencer says:
"Among other advantages and i'm
provements which the operations of
the young and vigorous institutions Of
the United States make manifest to
the people of the mother country, not
the least important is the fusion of law
and equity which has lately been ac
complished by the New York code.
The beneficial effects produced by this
code, appear to be next to unanimous
ly admitted by the judges and the le-
gal professors of the State of New
York, and so far as we on this side are
acquainted with the facts, several other
States of the Union are adopting il
with acclamation. The Chief Justices
of Calcutta and Bombay have express
ed their approval of the code in terms
to which their high reputation gives
great weight. The Law Amendment
Society in England have published 4
report upon the New York code, and
represent its practical workings to
have been eminently successful. The
Council Of this society report in favor
of similar amalgamation in the Eng
lish courts, and have pledged them
selves to draw up the outline of a code
of procedure for that purpose. The
business is not likely to evaporate in
mere speech making. Lords Camp
bell and Brougham, Lord Chanworth
and the Chief Justice, are known to
be in favor OF the contemplated meas
sure. Lord John Russell and pow
erful array of Jurists, statesmen, and
philanthropists both in and out OF
Parliament, are pledged TO the good
work, and already, We think, tho doom
is declared, the hand writing is visible
on the wall, thet the days of fiction
and verbiage, those pests Of the Eng
lish lawyers, are fixed; that the sleepy
hollow of the Court of Chancery Is
about to be purged and purified, and
filed with moro stirring and healthy
atmosphere. 1t is no little credit 10
the new world, that it has furnished
the drowsy old one with the machine
~ of common sense, by Which s.sss=
may be accomplished" "A

Bank notes, it is said, once silver dollars

whim;
But ere they condemn, let them hear this
