ITO THE PUBLIC.-We the undersigned, hav-
n ing crossed Nicaragua, en- route from Cali
fornia to New York, under the impression and
solemn assurance of the agents of the line that 1t
was quicker and more desirable than that by Pa
mama; and having found il entirely different,
having suffered great detention, loss, and expo
sure, we deem 1t 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 an unit and unsafe sea
boat. The consequence was, that our passage TO
San Juan del Sud was one of great danger and suf-
fering.
We confidently expected, on arriving at San Ju-
del Sud, to 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,
however, that the agent had not provided animals,
and could not procure them; 80 that, after remain
ing two days, many OF the passengers set OH 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 milee, many OF
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
IMAM Ouc-uull tnc VI tiio
have been able TO get through; the remainder,
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 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; il 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
Is preferable TO that by Nicaragua.
In conclusion, we beg to return our thanks to
Captain Schenck, of the steamship Ohio, for the
courteous treatment we have received from him
during our boistcrous passage, and particularly
for receiving us board, it was contrary, we
are informed to his instructions to receive passen-
gers from the opposition line.

From the Boston Courier.
The enterprsing publishers have here presented
10 the legal profession, as we Judge, long-ielt
desiderGtlrn--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 stribes 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.
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 so per annum We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, think, cannot fail to he
useful the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.-P Philadelphia Legal IntelligencG.
