NJ. Watson Declined.

We are very sorry to inform the public that
we have received a letter from R. L. WATSON.
Esqr., in which he declines being a candidate
for the House Of Representatives at the en-
suing election. Reasons of a private and i'm
perious nature, and highly honorable to him
self as q man, demand this course, after he had
accepted the nomination and desired to crafty
those who had honored him with their choice.
The Wing party Of the Parish will part with
regret from Mr.. WATson he had proved him.
self to be an able and eloquent defender of
the peoples interests, and whatever his career
in future, he carries with him their warm and
heartfelt wishes for his success and happiness
in life. III Ms ~
Our next consideration now is to select a
candidate to gil his place. For this purpose a
meeting is called above. Unjust be evident to
every Wing In the Parish, that at this meeting,
harmony and unanimity of choice, in selecting
the most prominent and available candidate,
should be the only prevailing sentiment. We
would say to the Wings, with all respect, to
go to the meeting with no individual preferen-
ces, but with a determination to support man.
fully and energetically the gentleman who re-
ceiyes the nomination through a majority of
the votes. It is evident to all, the extraordina-
~ lengths which are resorted to in the present
canvass to defeat, at least, a portion Of ouf tick
ct. This calls for extraordinary measures on
our part-and the first of those measures is
good feeling and common sentiment among
ourselves.

PUMPKIN P1Es.-We acknowledge the receipt
from Mr.. RICHARDS of a canister, containing a
compound for making as good pumpkin pies as
they have in New England. We speak from ex-
perience. Therefore, those who are fond of this
favorite pie, would do well to purchase a few
cahnisters before they are all sold, if indeed they
are not sold already. Mr.. R. has any quantity of
rare and rich ~niceties.

The Charleston Courier has been informed
by a gentleman, whose sources Of information
relative to Cuban affairs are genenlly most re-
liable, that many of the towns in Cuba are in
arms-the present force amounting to about
five thousand effective men.
The Government has sent two thousand
troops from Havana to Puerto Principe, the
news of the affair at Najaza having greedy ex-
cited the fears, of the Captain General for the
safety Of that portion Of the Island.
In Havana someeof the papers have been sus-
pended, as it is said, by order of the Govern
ment. Many Of the Spanish families are dis
posing of their property aud retiring to Spain.

vent the arrival of reinforeements from any

From The Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
TO the legal profession, as we judge, long felt
desideTattim-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 VIC observe in the
first number decisions pronounced i'm Westminster
Hall on the Both january, 1851 This is unparal-
leed 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 10 large, fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem TO be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes US
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.
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 InteHge1lcer.
