The LATE DIsAsTER.-The persons who
were concerned in bringing about the terrible
catastrophe, by which so many of the passels-
gers Of the Henry Clay persisted, have been an
rested. The verdict of the Coroner's jury was
altogether in conformity with the general judg-
ment Of the community, and what is now to be
desired is as speedy trial Of the delinquents
as May be, and an impartial and inAexible adj
ministration of the law. Vengeance is not
what is wanted; but IN example is greatly need
ed to show all who are disposed to repeat or
other occasions the practices which were tho
cause of this frightful accident, that they expose
themselves to penalties which,if enforced would
be disagreeable, and which they may possibly
be unable to escape.
While we write we have private letter be-
fore us, in which the complaint is made, not m
tended for publication, that the same day on
which the catastrophe of the Henry Clay oc-
cured the boat in which the writer went TO
Poughkeepsie was racing the whole way with
another, until at length the boiler became SO
dangerously heated that she had to lie by for an
hour and half. This instance shows to what
an alarming extent the practice of racing had
been carried. The calamity which befe the II.
Clay was perhaps necessary to rouse the COM
munity to a sense of the danger daily incurred
and to make it insist upon the law being OBJ
served. If it had not happened to the Henry
Clay, it would, In all probability, have happen
cd to some other steamer on the river before
the season was over. 1t is fearful to think
that it is only after such sad experiences that
we bethink ourselves of the necessity of insist
ing on any ordinarily prudent care for the safe
ty Of human life. N. Y. Eve. Post.

The love of the French people for Louis
Napoleon seems to be singuarly manifested
A letter from Paris, says:
The new five franc pieces, bearing tho eff
gy of the President, have almost all been cut
across the throat as soon as issued. You can
scarce find one Of these coins that does not bear
this attestaton of the good wishes of the pub
lie of Paris for their " Saviour"

MIssoURL-The majority for the Democratic
State ticket will be large, from the accounts
probably as large as any preceding State ma
jority.
The Democratic vote, every where through
out the State, seems to be very full, and if we
may judge from the present promises an over
whclming majority for the National Democratic
Electoral ticket at the coming contest.

Gov UJHAzY.-It will be recolected this dis
tinguished veteran left this city with Kossuth,
and travelled with him part of the way down
to New Orleans. At Napoleon, Gov. Ujhazy
left and proceeded to Little Rock and from
thence in a line through Arkansas, along the
Northern boundary of Texas and Mexico, look
ing for suitable location for himself and FAM
lily. He has been absent about four months,
most of which time he has been travelling on
horseback. The Governor appears to be in good
health at present, though he suffered during his
long and arduous journey with several attacks
Of fever. He seems well pleased with the
country over which he has travelled, and thinks
of taking his family south in short time.

From the Boston Courier.
The enterprisng publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as we judge, long felt
desiderafum-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 we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851. This is unparal-
leled 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 10 large, fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem To be prepared with
much careand 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.
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
each year six large octavovoumes, for the remark
ably low price of $40 per annum. Wetrust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner
alton for the service they here doing legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
