A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE LAW
IN OF VENDORS AND PURCHASERS OF ES-
TATES. BY the Right Hon. Sir Edward sugden.
In two volumes. With Notes and References OF
American Decisions the Law of Vendors and
Purchasers, to the present time. By J. c. Per-
kins, esq. Seventh American from the eleventh
London edition. Springfield, Mass. Published by
GEORGE & CHARLES MERRIAM 1851
''Ihe celebrated treatise of Sir Edward Sugden,
on the law of Vendors and Purchasers, has long
been n standard work upon the law relating to the
transfer of real estate No other book in the Ian
guage contains such n thorough and sati5factory
discussion of all the points whch arise in the legal
construction of contracts relating TO real property,
their formation, validity, the evidence that may
affect them, and the modes of resembling or en-
forcing them. That it is duly appreciated by the
profession, wherever the common law prevails, is
evidenced by the fact that il has reached eleven
editions in England and seven in this country, the
last OF which is just issued.
"The tenth was the last English edition which re
ceived many substantial additions from the learned
author, and to that he stated in his advertisement
the alterations and additions were very extcn
sive.' The writer, be afterwards adds, has
bestowed more time and labor upon this than upon
any former production
'The notes and references of the American editor
are very numerous, and for the American pract
toner are exceedingly valuable. No decisions oil
leading authority seem to have escaped AIr. Per
kinss attention, while there is prelence for say
ing that, in single instance, he has introduced an
authority which was not pertinent, or, after the
manner Of too many book making editors, piled
up authorities unnecessarily in illustration OF un-
dispued points We ought to add that the Amcri-
can notes are entirely new. The table alone o
English and American cases cited i'll the two vol
umes occupy over fifty pages in double columns
The index TO the work, like every thing else about
it, is scientific and thorough. 1t embraces one
hundred pagcs."-N. Y. Ecening Post, Oct 4

The special session Of the City Council, which
was held yesterday afternoon the call of Mayor
Jerome, adopted series of res ,utions of cnthusi-
astic welcome TO the patriot Kossuth and appoint.
ed committee OF reception to make arrangements
for doing honor to him his arrival in the Monu

pealing 10 the council for prompt and cordial ac-
ton on the subject, is most patriotic document.
Captain r. T. Merrick, one of the Wing candi.
dates for the House of Delegates, publishes card
in the Patriot this afternoon, in reply to certain
charges made against him OF having whilst dele
gate TO the Legislature from Charles county, OBJ
served settled hostility to the city of Baltimore.
He refutes the charge by letters from Messrs o. F.
Hack, John Marshall, Charles S. Spence, and s. S.
Donaldson, all of whom were Democratic delegates
from Baltimore during the session Of the Lcgisla
ture alluded to. They severally assert that his
course towards the city was uniformly friendly and
liberal and that his aid, as well as his influence
with his political friends freely given to nearly
all measures of special importance to the city.
Mrs. Mowatt, the distinguished American ira
gedienne, is filing a most successful engagement
at the Holiday street theatre. She has greatly i'm
proved during her European tour, not only in her
acting, but in her personal appearance having be-
come more strong and vigorous, and better able to
bear the bodily exerton required by her vocation.
In the Baltimore market this morning there were

The STATE orTHE MoNEy MARKET is extremely
encouraging. The banks strengthened, and
will be fortified at the next quarterly returns in
December with larger amount OF the precious
metals than any time SINCE the gold discoveries in
California. The aggregate of gold in circulation
IN private hands is enormous and the recent with
drawal of considerable amounts of paper circulation
has been supplied with gold. Thesc channels are
filled TO repletion, and will be gradually displaced
by paper, which, in the of trade, will again
circulate freely. From this source, and the steady
stream from the shores of the Pacific, the accumu-
of business operations which will show itself in the
low price of money before the lapse of ninety days.
There is considerable inquiry for unexceptionable
low the regular quotations. This competition on
the part Of capitalists for esteemed securities is the
surest evidence of an approaching abundance, and
the beet testimony offer of the truth of our
predictions So many elements of actual and pro
spective prosperity tDpart feeling of hope and
confidence which, we trust, will be realized, and
of which we entertain not particle of doubt
