MosTREAL, April &c,

Dispatches are just published from
Early Grey to the Governor General,
according to which the Imperial Govern
ment will not object TO reductions IN
the civil list, and will recommend the
British Parliament to pay the Governor
General of Canada, i'll return will
remove all troops except from the gar
risons Of Quebec and Kingston, and will
charge the Province with ordnance,
canals and barracks; also with presents
to the Indians. Early Grey does not
think this will tend TO separation Of the
colonies from the mother country.
This Is very important change, and
we are of opinion that Early Grey will
find The proposed change not very ac-
eeptabe to the Canadians.

will hasten 10 avail themselves of the opportunity
of possessing themselves of the republication Of

From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as we Judge, long felt
desiderGtum-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
fret 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 very useful plan, referring not only
to the and page of the volume, bat containing
alsoa short abstract of the subject of each case.
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication ia to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year ak large octave Volumes for the remark
ably low price Of $40 per annum. Wetrust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.- Philadelphia Legal fnteIIigencsr,
