Proposals must be made for each class separately,
and separately for each district, and must state
the price per ream for classes and 2, and per
pound for other classes; and in determining the
bids, the Postmaster General will accept the bid
for each class separately which shall seem best for
the interests of the Department.
Each proposal must be accompanied by and re-
fer to a sample of the article proposed to be fur
nished and the quality of such sample will be taken
into consideration in determining the bids.
Each proposal must be accompanied by sufficient
evidence of the ability of the BIDDER to comply with
the terms Of his proposal.
The successful bidder will be required to enter
into contrast with two sufficient sureties required
by law.
Failures to furnish the articles promptly when
ordered, furnishing those of inferior quality in
any respect, any attempt to evade the true mean
ing Of the contract will DC considered sufficient
cause for its forfeiture.
Paymen. will be made, on the production Of the
proper vouchers, quarter yearly, one month after
the expirati IN of each quarter.
A price, and one price only, must be specified for
each and every article bid for; the amounts must
be accurately extended, and the aggregate amount
of each class separately exhibited. Proposals not
made in accordance with these directions will not
be considered
A discrepancy between the price set down and
the extensions which would afford the bidder an
opportunity of fixing his price after the bids are
opened, by electing, as may be his interest, TO con-
tract for the other will be considered fatal
to the bid.

The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as judge, long felt
desideraftnn-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports Of all the decisions OF all the Eng

of the November term, 1850; and we observe IN the
first number decisions pronounced IN Westminster
Hall on the Both January, 1851 This is unparal-
leed despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here ought 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 ALI connected with 1t.
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table Of cases and index seem TO be prepared with
much care aud diligence. The former strikes 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.
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts numbers, making
each year elk large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price Of $40 per annum. We trust both

the very low prices at which they are offered TO

In these periodicals are contained the views mod

three great parties in England-Tory, Whip and
Radical :" Blackwood" and the % London quar-

and the WESTMINSTER Review Liberal. The
