From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as we judge, long ielt
de iderGtuln--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-
lced 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 il large, fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much carennd diligence. The former strikes us as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the 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 ia 70 be
continued in monthly parts or numbers making
each year six large octave volumes, Tor the remark
ably low price of $40 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample renuner-
alton for the service they are here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, VIC think, cannot fail to be
useful the profession and profitable to the pub
fishers Philadelphia Legal Inteliigencer.

no THE pUBLIC.-We tbe updersio

TyNO THE PUBLlC.-We the undersigned, hay
a ing crossed Nicaragua, en- route from Cali
fornia t0 New York, under the impression and
soleInn assurance Of the agents Of the line that il
was quicker and more desirable than that by Pa
mama; and having found il entirely different,
having suffered great detention, loss, and expo
sure, deem IL 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, ID an unfit and unsafe
boat. The consequence was, that passage to
San Juan del Sud was one of great danger and suf-
iering.
We confidently expected, on arriving at San Ju-
del Sud, to be provided with transportation for
ourselves and baggage Immediately, we had
been led to believe that the transit would not
quire more than forty eight hours We found,
however, that the agent had not provided animals,
and could not procure them; that after remain
ing two days, many of the passengers set oil
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 of
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
reached San Juan del Norte, and were forced TO
come away at once in the Prometheus. Not more
than one-half the passengers of the Independence
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 most
uncivilly received and miserably provided for on
board the Prometheus In consequence, left
her at Havana, and by the kindness of Captain
Schenck we were received on board the Ohio.
1t is not necessary to give detailed account of
the annoyances to whchAwc have been subjected
by the misrepresentation and incidence of agents,
the want of food and room, the loss of baggage
and unexpected delay; it is enough to express
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 boisterous passage, and particularly
for receiving on board, il was contrary,
informed TO his instructions to receive passen-
gers from the opposition line
