Little & Brown, of Boston, to whose enterprise
the reading public has often been indebted for
the most valuable American and foreign books,
propose to publish by subscription, new series Of
the English Reports in Law and Equity. This
ries viii contain all the authoritative decisions Of
the House Of Lords the Courts Of Equity, the Prvy
Court, the Queens Bench, the Exchcquer, Common
Pleas, &c.
The profession assured that this series will be
the most complete Of any reports published.
careful examination OF the Jurist and Lar Jour
nal for series Of years discloses the fact that many
important cases are here reported which arc not
found in the contemporaneous reports of Meeson &
Eelsby, Manning, Granger Scott Adolphus &
Ellis and other reporters; and the Lar Journal
alone dGring the first years OF it's existence
published over one thousand cases not then else
wherereported.
As ITO the character Of the reports Of the claw
Journal and 1.-THE Jurist," but little need be
said In England they are regarded as Of high
authority and are cited with appreciation and re-
spect In the English courts, and by their most EN-
inent elementary writers.
They are cited with confidence, and IA autho-
rity in the judicial opinions of Judge Story, and
other eminent American judges, and in the writ

Middlebury College.

Az special meeting of the President ard
Fellows of Middlcbuay College, on the 2Iih
ult., Mr.. JosErn b. BIrTINGER was elected
Professor Of Rhetoric and English Litera
ture, and Of Intellectual Philosophy. Mr.

has been invited. The Congregational
Church and Society in Middlcbury, whose
vacant pulpit he supplied few Sabbaths,
have given him unanimous call TO become
their Pastor. Ii is supposed he will accept
The invitation from the College.
The subject of Intellectual Philosophy
has been added to that of Rhetoric, at the
particular and earnest request Of President
L,barce, on whom that branch of science
has heretofore devolved. A large field OF
instruction is still left for the President, and
a yet large: field abroad, for the collection oil
funds 10 endow the Institution; for the latter
duty seems 10 devolve almost exclusively up
on him.
At the same meeting of the Board OF

We are Informed tina; on Thursday after
noon last, the young ladies' and gentlemen of
New Haven had very handsome pic
mic party near Bcllens Falls, on Oucr
Creek. The location chosen by the party
is one of the most picturesque and beautiful
places on the river. Tables were set in a
cool little valley sheltered by the surround.

handsomely decorated with evergreen and
flowers was raised in the center of the
grounds. An abundance Of creature com
forts were provided which ,rcke well for the
hospi aliiy and good housewifery of the la

To me il seems apparent that in the cxecu-

and in ease he is not discharged by the Judge
who allows the writ, he may appeal 10 the
county court and then have n trial by Jury
Now this act, in terms, takes the person

LATE FROM SouTH ANERIcA.-The
Gavorle element of the South American
republics is hot water Only a short
time AGO Chill was in an uproar in con-
sequence Of murderous outbreak in the
province OF Santiago, in which several
officers of The national guard were killed
and wounded. and for participating in
which twenty-seven citizens of Valdivia
were condemned 10 death. Now we
have advices from Peru. stating that on
the Goth of April-the day on which the
new President, General technique, was
inauauraied, and the railroad from Caiao
10 Lima opened--a collision took place
at Arequipa between the friends Of the
defeated candidate, Vivaneo, and the
police and soldiers who were celebrating
the success Of his opponent Barricades
were erected, and a general conflict COM
menced, the bclligerents combining
lhieyery with their patriotism by plum
dering each others houses. After twen>
iy.six hours OF uninterrupted fighting,
the soldiers were driven from the city.
Eighty persons were killed and Wounded
in the melee, the troops sustaining the
heaviest loss. Al tie latest date, April
2Sth, there was considerable excitement
among the citizens, and it was feared
that the troubles would be renewed.
Letters from Peru state that the chol-
era had appeared at Valparaiso and CO.
piapa, occasiouing much alarm. The
silver mines had been unusually produc-
tive.
This batch Of intelligence from South
America was brought to New Orleans by
the steamer Pacific, from Valparaiso on
