ry The amount Of coin and BULL

n The amount of coin and bullion
in the vaults of the Bank of France, is
now, without doubt the greatest accum-
iuhtion of the precious metals in the
world. Il is said to be no less than one
hundred and fifteen millions of dollars
and is still increasing. Notwithsiand.
ing this vast and increasing amount, the
paper transactions of the Bank are di.
minishing. In England and this coun-
try, the effect would be widely different
an increasing base of specie would ex-
pand the paper currency, and the expan-
sion would continue withoutlimlt as lone
as the foundation continued increasing.
The fact that there is no expansion In
France, does not argue well for the. sta

From ue Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we judge, long felt
desidTatu'a-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series Of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
ish 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-
eled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster s 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 il.
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
ably low price of 80 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, VIC think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.- Philadelphia Legal Inteitgenc9.
