GoDEY's LADY's BOOK FOR 1852.
Tncrease of Reading rYattery

VTNHE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
a. 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-"toiling after him in vain"--are sufil
cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
with which every new idea that he sugge5ts Is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises OF
what is 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 Lady's Book and Fami-
iy Magazine will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone must look for the
etfusons of the master minds of Literature 1t is
useless to publish list OF names-suffice 1T to say
that we have published articles and have others to
publish from all the best american tcriers, male and

Godey's Lady . Book for January, 1852, will con-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravings--tiree Of tchich are colored-an addi
tional quantity of reading by American authors.
There is question about the fact, and the tens OF
thousands Of notices that we have from the con-
temporary presa will establish it, that 1t is the most
magni fcent periodical in the rorld'
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud of,
and their price is ten dollars year.
II must be observed that the LADY's Book caters
TO the taste of the American Ladies. 1t furnishes

VNO THE PUBLIC.-We the undersigned, hay
4 ing crossed Nicaragua, route from Cali
fornia TO New York, under the impression and
solemn of the agents OF the line that 1t
was quicker and. more desirable than that by Pa
mama; and having found il 80 entirely different,
having suffered great detention, loSe, and expo
sure, we deem II 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, 10 unfit and unsafe sea-
boat. The consequence was, that our passage to
San Juan del Sud was one OF great danger and snf-
fering.
We confidently expected on arriving at San Ju-
an del Sud. 10 be provided with transportation for
ourselves and baggage Immediately, as we had
been led to believe that the transit would not re
quire more than forty eight hours. We found,
howevet that the agent had not provided animals,
and could not procure them, that, after remain
ing two days, many of the passengers SGT OIL 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 oil
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 10
come away at once in the Prometheus. Not more
tIlun nun tne ptseSHBSi1 Vi
have been able to get through; the remainder,
some two hundred, being left on the route with the
specie, and nearly all the baggage We were most
pncivilly received and miserably provided ior on
board the Prometheus. In consequence; we left
her at HAVANA, and by the kindness OF Captain
Schenck we were received on board the Ohio
Ii 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 10 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
Is preferable TO that by Nicaragua.
In conclusion we beg 10 return our thanks TO
Captain Schenck, Of the steamship Ohio, Tor the
courteous treatment we have received from him
during our bosterous passage, and particularly
for receiving us on board, as 1t was contrary, we
are informed to his instructions to receive passen-
gers from the opposition line.

none of that hesitation with which new article ia

velopes, and to his rapidly increasing sales, as
proof Of their excellence. The following are c few
Of the reasons for their popularity:
lst. On the place occupied by seal person

spcuously and beautifully embossed, coored or

From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as we Judge, long-fe
desiderGtllm-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, 1885, and we observe in the
hrst number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851. This il 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 1t.
The page is large, fair, Whit and readable. The
table of cases ard index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence The former strikes US as
executed on 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.
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 Sloper annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they are here doing the legal
profession.
