YJNO THE PUBLlC.--Wc the undersigned hay
i ing crossed Nicaragua, en- route from Cali
Norma to New York, under the impression and
solemn assurance Of the agents of the line that it
was quicker and more desirable than that by Pa
mama; and having found il so entirely different,
having suffered great detention, loss, and expo
sure we deem il duty to the public TO make
known the facts. Tho steamer Indepcnde nce, in
which we left San Francisco, brought down more
than double the number OF passengers she could
accommodate, and more than double the number
the agent represented as having taken passage on
her. The boat, too. is unfit and unsafe sea-
boat. The consequence was, that our passage TO
San Juan del Sud was one Of great danger and suf-
iering.
an del Sud, to be provided with transportation for
ourselves and baggage Immediately as we had
been led to believe that the transit would not re
quirc more than forty eight hours. We found,
however, that the agent had not provided animals,
and could not procure them; sd 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 il. We found the road
to Lake Nicaragua nearly impracticable, and the
distance, instead of being twelve miles, many OF
us had to travel thirty. The boatson the lake and
river very small and unfit for passengers, and,
although packed like slave ships, could not tn Ike
half of the passengers. We were without food, and
exposed to violent rains. On the seventh day we
reached San Juan del Norte, and were forced IL
come away at once in the Promctheus. Not moro
have been able to get through; the remainder,
some two hundred being left on the route with the
specie, and nearly all the baggage. We were most
uncivilly received and userably provided for on
board the Prometheus. In consequence, we left
her at Havana, and by the kindness OF Captain
Schenck we were received on board the Ohio
II is not necessary to give detailed account OF
the nnnoyances to which we have been subjected
by the Misrepresentation and insolence 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 hay. received from him
during boisterous passage, and particularly
for receiving on board, it was contrary, we
informed, to his instructions to receive passen
gers from the opposition line.

ton. Their value, however, is fully appreciated
| by the whole profession, who, we have no doubt,
will hasten to avail themselves OF the opportunity
of possessing themselves of the republication OF
Messrs. Little & Brown, which can be had at less
than one fifth the expense OF the original works
From the Boston Courier.
The cnterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we judge, long felt
desideratum--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 ID unparal-
leed 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. The
table Of 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 scattcrcd 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 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 are here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication we think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
ishers.- Philadelphia Legal Inteiiigencr.
