The euterprsing publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we judge long-ielt
desideratun-a prompt cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions OF all the Eng
lsh 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 courthouse. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with IL.
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 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 81 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 publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful 90 the profession and profitable to the pub

PRoGREss OF RACEs.--The late census
returns furnish data for much important in
formation respecting the social and political
condition of this country. Regarding the re-
latve progress of the white and colored in-
habiants since 1910, we find that in the
free States the increase of population has
been equivalent to 80 per cent, while that
of the free-citizens of the slave States is
equal to but 80 per cent. In the South
the increase of slaves has been in the pro-
portion OF 27 per cent. In all the States
South Of Virginia the free people of color
have decreased in number and, in all the
States, the total increase in this class does
not exceed the rate of s per cent. The
New York Journal of Commerce remarks
that the colored population in ten years in
New England has decreased 400. The
diminution of colored persons in New York
has been 2,579.
