taken in this city several years, but their cost
has denied them anything like general circula-
ton. Their value, however, 10 fully appreciated
by the whole profession who, 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-hfth the expense of the original works.
From The Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we judge long-felt
desideTdtum-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
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 10 be prepared with
much care and diligence The former strikes US
executed on n 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.
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 s 10 per annum We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample rcmuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.- Philadelphia Legal Inteiligencer

ITO THE PUBLIc.-y

ITO THE PUBLIC.-We the undersigned, hav-
IL ing crossed Nicaragua, en- route from Cali
fornia 10 New York, under the impression and
solemn assurance of the agents Of the line that il
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 it 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
accommodates, and more than double the number
the agent represented as having taken passage on
her The boat too, is an unfit and unsafe
boat. The consequence wns, that passage to
San Juan del Sud WAS one OF great danger and sui
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 moro 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 of 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 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 we
reached San Juan del Norte and were forced 10
come away at once in the Prometheus. Not more
than one-half the passengers of the independence
nave been able TO get through; the remainder,
some two hundred, being left 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 were received on board the Ohio
1t is not necessary to give detailed account of
the annoyances to which we have been subjected
by the Misrepresentation and nsoence of agents,
the want of food and room, the loss of baggage
and unexpected delay; it 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 have received from him
during our boisterous passage, and particularly
for receiving US on board az it was contrary we
informed, to his instructions to receive passen
gers from the opposition line.
