yINO THE PUBLIC.--We the undersigned, hav-
i ing crossed Nicaragua, en- route from Cali
fornia IN New York, under the impression and
solemn assurance Of the agents OF the line that II
was quicker and more desirable than that by Pa
mama; and having found il 30 entirely different
having suffered great detention, loss and expo
sure, we deem II duty 70 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 che could
accommodate, and more than double the number
the agent represented os having taken passage on
her. The boat, too, Is an unfit and unsafe sea-
boat. The consequence was, that our passage to
San Juan del Sud was one of great danger and sof-
iering.
We confidently expected, on arriving at San Ju-
an del Sud. to be provided with transportation for
ourselves and baggage Immediately, as we had
bee led to believe that the transit would not re
quire more 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 oil on
foot, under the assurance that their baggage would
be forwarded TO them, and that the steamer would
not leave Panama without it, We found the road
to Lake Nicaragua nearly inpractcnble, and the
distance, instead of being twelve miles, many of
US had to travel thirty. The boats the lake and
river very small and unfit for passen gers, and
although packed like slave ships, could not ta Ike
half of the passengers We were without food, and
exposed to violent rains. On the seventh day We
reached San Juan del Nortc, and were forced 10
come away at once in the Prometheus. Not more
thhIi ouC-H INC pdSoSnScfS VI tue
have 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
nncivilly received and miserably provided Tor on
board the Prometheus In consequence, we left
her at Havana, and by the kindnsss Of Captain
Schenck we were received on board the Ohio.
II is not necessary to give detailed account OF
the annoyances to which we have been subjected
by the Misrepresentation and nsolence 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 we have received from him
during our boisterpus passage, and particularly
for receiving on board, it was contrary, we
informed, to his instructions to receive passen-
gers from the opposition line.

has denied them anything like general circula-

will hasten 10 avail themselves OF the opportunity

than one fifth the expense of the original works.
From the Boston Courier.
The cnterprisng publishers have here presented
TO the legal profession, as we Judge, long-fet
desideratrin-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports Of all the decisions Of all the Eng
sh courts The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1880; and we observe in the
fret number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851. This is unpara-
cled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is 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 it.
The page is large fair, white and readable. lhe
table of cases and index seem 10 be prepared with
much care and 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 or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, the remark
ably low price Of $40 per anpum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuners
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 Inteltgencer.

mesa with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises Of
what iSyet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. II is sufficient, however,
to say that oil the existing popular features of the
LADY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Famis
ly Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone we must look for the

useless to publish list of names-suffice it to say
