GRoANs OF THE ABoLITIoNIsTs.-Afr friend
has placed in our hands twonumbers of the Boston
Commonwealth, edited by the infamous Elizus
Wright. They contain very coarse wood cuts
wretched caricatures-of scenes connected with the
arrest and departure Of Sims, the fugitive slave.
The first represents "Sims passing through State
street, over the ground where Crspus Attucks, a
colored citizen Of Boston, fell the first victim of
massacre by British troops" The second portrays
" Sims shipped for Savannah, on board the brig

Refreshments of every kind were then served,
including the Eastern adjdncts of pipes, cigars,
cigarettes, coffee, sweetmeats, sherbet, etc. The

SHORT AND SwEEr.-Just after the speeches Of
the President, and Messrs. Webster and Cri'ten-
den, at NewYork, and in the midst Of the applause
which followed, Major General sanford appeared,
and addressed the President happily and lacon-
ically, as follows:
/" Sir: Five thoussnd ctizen-soders of New
York, organized to defend the Union and The Laws
are drawn up on the Battery, waiting To receiv,
You Commander in Chief of the Army anc

New York LIBEL SUIr.-George W. Wilkes,
editor and proprietor of The National Police Ga
zette, was convicted recently by New York jury,
of having perperated atrocious libel against the
character of Mr. Jourdan, late District Attorney
there The sent nee would have sent him to the
State Prison, after the fashion of Mike Walsh and
other worthless. Wilkes escaped after conviction
but before sentence, and rusticsted for some time
at Hoboken, where, by some legerdemain, he was
scathless from the law. In the meantime, Wilkes,
pretences of pref dice and ignorance on the part
of the Judge, applied to the Supreme Court for
new trial. The Supreme Court has refused his
application, and Wilkes has started for London on
the steamship Niagara. to see the Worlds Fair,
and otherwise amuse himself. BY arrangement,
so soon as he he's got to sea, he has it announced
by telegraph 10 the papers that he has gone, and
intends to be absent about three months.
If such impudent trifling with the laws may be
tolerated with impunity, the criminal code of New
York is disgrace to all connected with it,

The Legislature of Wisconsin has re-enacted
stringent usury law, which establishes per cent
the legal rate of interest," and allows 2 per cent
by contract. The penalty for usury forfeiture OF
principal and interest. Two years ago the usury
law abolished and the immediate effect OF
which was it is alleged, to raise the rate of inte-
rest to % 70 per cent. per annum, at which rates
it has been ruling during the past two years When
there was agreement between parties, the usual
rate OF interest was 25 per cent per annum. Such
result was natural of course in special case, in
"a State surrounded by others where entirely oppo-
site laws prevailed but, being special, it does not
in the least affect the sautary general principle Of
unrestricted trade, far possible, in money as
in every thing else. Let some great State as New
York for instance lead of in this matter, and minor
ones will follow, and it will at once be seen how
evenly and equtably the thing will work. But, for
a minor and particularly new State, in the midst
OF great enterprises, to take the initiative in at
tempt to accomplish such result, is futile-as il
only makes her the field Of speculation in money
by capitalists from abroad, who Immediately flock
into her borders for that purpose in just such num-
ber as may be most profitable to themselves. Bal

POLITICAL MOVEMENTS IN MISSISSIPPI
Several hundred persons assembled at Cooper's
Well, on Saturday, the 17th instant, TO listen to
the Union candidates for the Convention. Quite
a number of disunions,s, headed by Messrs Glenn
and Hooker, primed for oratory Of their peculiar
quality, were on the ground.
Judge Sharkey led of. The Kinds Gazette
pronounces his address (which was confined TO
the constitutional question involved in the admis-
sion of California; mastery and unanswerable
argument. Messrs. Glenn and Hooker followed
with secession decamations. Hon Amos R.
Johnston then spoke on the Union side, and spread
the true issue before his hearers. Gen. Foote and
Gen. Freeman spoke briefly, but with decided
impression. Gen. Foote, in view of his being can
didate for Governor, Withdrew his name as a can
didaie for the Convention.
The Kinds Gazette says that the friends of the
Union were delighted with the efforts of their
champions and not less pleased to see the shifts to
which their adversares were drawn, the whole Oi
their haranl1es being about the Inconsistencies Of
their opposents Helpless, indeed, must be theil
cause. What signifies it to quarrel about incon
sistenciA of individuals when the Union is as

with sort of loving interest that neither statue

a period the world continued to transact all its
business without coined money. The ancient Egyp-
tians had no coin there is allusion throughout
the Old Testament to coin having been used by
the Hebrews; nor in all Of Homer is it spoken OF
For at least three thousand years men lived and
toiled, bought and Sold without using piece of
coined money. The very first coins used by the
Greeks, pieces of metal rudey stamped with a
device on side, here and from that date,
from age to age, through the rami6cations of a
thousand nations, it is wonderful how complete is
this collection. [Corresp. Newark Adv.

taken in this city for several years, but their cost
has denied them anything like general circula-
ton. Their value, however, Is fully appreciated
by the whole profession, who, we have no doubt,
will hasten to avail themselves Of the opportunity
of possessing themselves of the republication OF
Messrs. Little Brown, which Can be had at less
than one fifth the expense of the original works.
From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we judge, long-fe
desideratum--a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the En
lish courts. The series commences with the ca
of the November term, 1850; and observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th january, 1851. This is unparai-
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, 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 $40 per annum. We trust 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.-P Philadelphia Legal fnteligencer.
