mo THE PUBLlc.-We the under,ig

ITO THE PUBLlC.-we the undersigned, hav-
a. ing crossed Nicaragua, en- route from Cali
fornia to New York, under the impression and
soemn assurance of the agents of the line that IL
was quicker and more desirable than that by Pa
mama; and having found il 30 entirely different,
having suffered great detention, loss, and expo
sure, deem il duty to the public TO make
known the facts. The steamer independence, in
which we left San Francisco, brought down more
than double the number of passengers she could
accommodate, and more than double the number
the agent represented as having taken passage on
her. The boat, too, is unfit and unsafe
boat. The consequence was, that our passage to
San Juan del Sud was one of great danger and suf-
tering.
an del Sud, to be provided with transportation for
ourselves and baggage Immediately, we had
been led to believe that the transit would not re-
quire more than forty eight hours. We found,
however, that the agenthad not provided animals,
and could not procure them; that, after remain
ing two days. many OF the passengers set off on
foot, under the assurance that their baggage would
be forwarded to them and that the steamer would
not leave Panama without il. We found the road
to Lake Nicaragua nearly impracticable, and the
distance, instead of being twelve miles, many of
US had to travel thirty The boats on the lake and
river very small and unfit for passengers, and
although packed like slave ships could not take
half of the passengers. We were without food and
exposed to violent rains. On the seventh day we
reached San Juan del Norte, and were forced to
come away at once in the Prometheus. Not more
than one-half the passengers of the independence
have been able 10 get through; the remainder.
some two hundred, being left on the route with the
specie, and nearly all the baggage We were most
uncivilly received and miserably provided for on
board the Prometheus. In consequence, we left
her at Havana, and by the kindness Of Captain
Schenck were received on board the Ohio.
1t is not necessary to give detailed account of
the annoyances to which we have been subjected
by the misrepresentation and insolence of agents,
the want of food and room, the loss of baggage
and unexpected delay; it is enough TO express our
conviction that under the present management,
and in the present condition of the roads, and the
present means Of transportation, the Panama route
10 preferable TO that by Nicaragua.
In conclusion, we beg to return thanks 10
Captain Schenck, of the steamship Ohio, for the
courteous treatment we have received from him
during our boiserous passage, and particularly
for receiving us on board, as it was contrary, we
informed, to his instructions TO receive passen
gers from the opposition line.

GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR 1859.
Increase of Reading Matter!

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
l. present many novel features suited to the ad-
vancing demands of the public taste. 1t has ever
been the object of the publisher to take the lead
among the popular Magazines of this country; and
the host of imitators, who have been constantly
following-''toiliug after him in vain"-are suffi-
cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises of
what ia yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. 1t is sufficient, however,
to say that all the existing popular features of the
LADY's Book will be retained and many new ones,
particularly attractive in a Lady's Book and Fami-
ly Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view
To the Magazines alone must look for the
illusions of the master minds of Literature 1t is
useless to publish list of names-suffce it to say
that we have published articles, and have others to
publish from all the best american tcrirs male and
female.
Godeys Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravings-three Of tohich are coloyed-an addi-
tonal quantity of reading by American authors.
There is question about the fact, and the tens of
thousands of notices that we have from the
temporary press will establish it, that it is The most
magnifc periodical in the ,corid,
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud Of,
and their price is ten dollars year.
1t must be observed that the LADY's Book caters
to the taste of the American Ladies' II furnishes
and among others is the following:
GODEY'S RELIABLE FASHION PLATES,

has denied them anything like general circula.
ton Their value, however, is fully appreciated
by The whole profession, who, we have no doubt,
will hasten to avail themselves of the opportunity
of possessing themselves of the republication OF
Messrs Little s. Brown, which can be had at less
than one fifth the expense of the original works.
From the Boston Courier
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, judge, ong-felt
desideTaLltm-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851. This is unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
US than our own court house. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with IT,.
The page is large fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem TO be prepared with
much care and diligence The former strikes US as
executed on n very useful plan, referring not only
to the case and page OF the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions and still more TO
the value Of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price of, $40 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they are here doing the legal
profession.
Such a publication, think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to- the pub
lishers.-P Philadelphia Legal LntelIigencer.

TENHE S BSCRIBER, in soliciting the patronage
Il of all who may this advertisement, feels
none of that hesitation with which new article is
brought before the public. The experience of
years has established their superiority beyond all
question; and he confidently refers to the testimo-
ny of those business men who have used these en-
velopes, and TO his rapidly increasing sales, as
proof of their excellence. The following are few
of the reasons for their popularity:
lst. On the place occupied by seal a person
may have his name, business, and address con-
spiouously and beautifully embossed colored or
plain, thus affording PERFECT SECURITY
AGAINST FRAUD.
3D. Ihe envelope cannot be opened without be-
ing destroyed.
3d. Neither waters requisite to seal
them.
4th. Upon the miscarriage of letter the seal in
sures its immediate return to the sender, instead
OF being buried months in the dead letter office.
5th. The envelopes are furnished at almost THE
SAME PRICE AS PLAIN ONES, with only the
additional cost of the die, which will last for years.
9th. Each letter mailed is most effective adver-
tisement to attract the attention ofall through
whose hands it may pass.
The following is list Of prices for dies engraved
BRASS and OF envelopes of the usual letter size,
either white or buff, of good paper, and made as
