ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.

To the Legal Profession.
TTNHE FIRST YEAR of the publication OF the
l. English Reports in Law and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only in vOlumes, and the issue OF Sc
parate parts will be discontinued 1t ia found that
the second part OF each volume follows so rapidly
after the fret, that the advantages of publishing
by parts are unlmportant. Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingly low rate OF So per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series OF Reports, either in England in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions of ALL the English courts. In Il is res
every reported case Except nisi prius decisiona is
given in FULL, without condemnation or abridg
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
II may be proper sso to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters authorized by law
as in this country, but that each series of Reports
is there conducted solely private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
pRoMPrNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and BREviTY-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal and the Jurst Series, not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct See the late case of

He pH0 oison ". hlunan, as reported IN Man
& Grang. SlO is not correct. The plea, as it isr
ported IN the Lap Journal Reports, just asmy bro
nier Mauie supposss, In addition TO the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they will
be found to contain many valuable cases not
elsewhere reported, while NO CASE IN ANY other
other series will be omitted in this. Arrangements
have been made whereby this series will con ain
all the reported cases in the Jurst and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
of Lords; f. F. Moore's Reports in the P,vy
Council; the Reports of Smons, Hare, Beavan De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghtcn and Gordon, in
the Courts of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Wesby, Hurlstone
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denison, Temple and New
and E. w. Cox; the Admiralty Reports of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson
combination of legal reports entirely unequalled
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this sc les
from the fact that hereafter they will be dges ted
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest
The first six volumes will be contained in Vol "
OF the Annual Digest, now in press.

st. Thomas.

The st. Thomas Islands are thus described by N.
P. Willis, ESQ., of New York, in bis last letter to the
Home Journal & from the tropics" His point of
observation from the stern of Jolly boat it
was lacking into the harbor with battling head
wind:
= | studied the look of the St. Thomas Islands
ry constantly on our approach. Unclad in any yis-
bic atmosphere, their edges from distance, look
sharp cut pasteboard and as you them,
their bald round tops, without vegetation remind
you of the shaved asylum. 1t is strange to North
eye, and like sight, to so far and so
clear We could count the leaves of the cactuses
both sides of the harbor as we ran in, and per-
spective seemed suddenly abolished, so equally near
seemed every house along miles of receding shore.
An ant. taking a walk a shelf of sugar-loaves,
and stopping in an open space where one had been
taken out, would have nearly the relative ge-
ography around him boat in the centre of the
Harbor of St. Thomas. 1t really looks if you
might stand on the summit of any one of the half
dozen hills around, and toss number of the Home
Journal (sealed up for the mail) board any ship
in the harbor. The fifty sixty sail at anchor lie
very close, their many colored flags of all nations
giving them very gay appearance and the num-
berless boats plying constantly between them
livening the scene exceedingly. Coming from that
most unshaded and unoccupied spot on earth. the
open sea, seemed suddenly to have slid into a
mountain market-place, with basin of water in its
deep-down bottom, and vessels that must have come
thither as balsods 1t is harbor with strangely
mountainous physiognomy."

much on the same thing. Our merchants and capt.
taliSts are directly interested in this matter, and
we call upon them to take such action as will save
us from constant solicitations to call attention to
it. We haze now called attention to it. We dc
now recommend positive and efficient action, and
having done have discharged our duty for the
present. Let any bona fde action be taken by those
who have the power, and we will cooperate to the

Interview with the Hon. Henry Clay.

correspondent of the New York Express, who
visited the room of Mr. Clay, and found him in COM
pany with two friends from New York, few days
ago. thus describes his appearance:
There is hardly strength enough in his hands to
convey food to hi mouth, and he is helped to and
from his bed like feeble child. He rises very late.
and as he told me. has not known fora long time
what it to enjoy an hour of sweet refreshing,
natural sleep But like an old forest oak. beautiful
in its decay. The lusre of his eyes is undimmed-
He both sees and knows his friends The grasp of his
hands IS as fervent earnest and kindly impressive
as ever it His voice continues to be all sweet
ness and melody, except when its tones moved
by that bodily weakness which makes it painful fer
him to speak-and it is always very painful for him
to speak long But the greatest blessing which God
vouchsafes to dying is his.
He has that peace of mind which the world can
neither give nor take away, and intellect un-
clouded in the day of it's greatest brilliancy-
Most of his thoughts devoted to that change of
existence from which none of us are exempt, and
that change may come in an hour or day. or it
may be postponed till the spring summer flowers
fade, and die. In the meantime Mr. Clay is tran
gully prepared for the messenger whenever he
comes and he remarks of his death in a confding.
Christian spirit that though it may be presump-
ton in him to say he looks forward to the world
beyond the grave with faith in God, and trust in a
better life He is member and COMMUNICATE of
the Epicopal Church, and among the few books in
his room the word Of God occupies the most conspic
uous place.

Success of American Vessels.

The annual statement of the tonnage employed in

its appearance for the year 1851. We learn from
it that the number of arrivals three thousand
eight hundred and forty three, of which two thou
sand three hundred and ffty-thrce were American
vessels and the balance foreign. The total number
of seamen fifty five thousand eight hundred and
thirty five This does include the coastng trade,
The increase former years is very decided, and
exhibits in striking light the growing prosperity
of the nation at large But this is not all The bu-
siness compared with that of former years.

in their competition for the carrying trade. The

of our ships in fact sweeping everything before

Expenses THE ARMr.--The army of the Uni
ted States, consisting of 1000 men, all told costs
the government Sl0,000,000 a year. or $1,000 per
man, and for the coming year $1,000 600 is demand
ed for travelling expenses in addition the 81 000
900 appropriated to that purpose last year, thus Civ
ing each soldier 5000 year to travel with.
St. Louis paper estimates that if the compare
tive expenses of European armies equalled that of
the United States, Austria and France would in n
profound state of peace have each about $780, 000,
600 topay for army expenses alone; and in the
semiwarike state in which these countries constant
ly are it would cost at least S10000000O each be-
sides. The army of England would cost 50 O00 000-
600 that of Russia e80OO 1000 or 81, 00000O000;
and even the small State of Piedmont $4,000, 900.
That there must be corruption or wretched mis-
management is evident. But even supposing the
expenses of the United States army could be reduced
third still the heavy expenditure to the country
caused by standing army, however small, and even
in profound state of peace, may be gathered from
the figures
