Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN Gentlemen BY your

the legal profession in this country. The fidelity
with which these Reports appear to have been thus
far made, their compact and convenient arrange

decisions of all the important Courts to period
far within those of any Court in our own coun-
try, together with their chcapness, ought to be
sufficient recommendation to insure their general

WAsHINaToN, January 26, 1852.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the re-
publication of the English Reports in Law and
Equity" in this country.
The low price at which the volumes are offered
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur
nsh their Libraries with the current English Re-
ports, of which many of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready accesa to
the decisions of courts sitting at the fountain
head of the law, whence have been derived for the
most part, the several systems, more less modi-
fed, daily administered by the courts of this coun
try. And, however modified these systems may
be, it is manifest that these decisions must shod
great light upon the investigation of most of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE PUBLICATIONS IN ENoLAND, A CONSIDERATIONS
THE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, if the Reports Of
cases decided are of any value, the sooner they
arc in the hands OF the profession the better !
sincerely hope your encouragement from the ba r
will be commensurate with the merit of the enter
prise.

Just as we anticipated. Mr.. Fillmore is
"hurrying up thecakes' of reward forfrlends
of his GSlphin Administration. Eighteen
thousand dollars in "outfits" for each foreign
minister every four years, is pilng up the ag-
ony.and no.mstake. No wonder the expen-
ses the. Government during the last three
years have been greater than under any for
mer administration. Only think-fyty mil

eminent should not have been over thirty!
Here is another "outft' case.

part in Congress as Wing trickster, and 70
his services in that capacity was appointed
to "a foreign mission, Denmark, we believe,

our RAILROAD.

Most of our readers are aware that negoi
stiations have for sometime been pending be-
tween the directors Of the Scioto and Hook
ing Valley and The Sandusky and Newark
companies, having for their objecta change
inthe guage Of the Scioto and Hooking VAL
iey Railroad. Those negotiations Terminated
ION Friday in the adoptions by the directors Of
our road, of resolution re-adoptng the
guage Of s fl. A III. AS an inducement 10
This, the Mansfield and Sandusky Company
lpgreerto, take theItlocomotive recently purt
chased and received here and within twenty
days to furnish one Of The proper guage
equally good, together with six freight cars.
They also. pledge themselve TO take the field
and make common cause with the S..& H.
tV Company; TO exert their influence in pro-
curing subscriptions; and 70 do everything in
theirpower to get the whole line of road
under contract in the shortest possible time.
These pledges, we have no doubt, they
will faithfully redeem. They are as deeply
interested in pushing the road ON to compile
tiondhrough the State as we, and we cannot
suppose that. they are ssalive 10 their inter
ests. They are capable, energetic, men& have
the power To effect much both for themselves
and us. There is no doubt but that con-
tinuation Of our road through the State, by
some direct route is Of the last importance
to its usefulness as we'll as profit. OF still
greater importance is such continuation 10
our city and county. BY the action of Fri
day last, the speedy attainment of that OBJ
eet has, we think, been rendered almost GER
tain. Witboutsome understanding and CO.
operation with our lorthernfriends it would
have been precarious. Under these circum
Stances we are. of opinion that the action O.
our directors was wise and polite, and tha
| il will be SO regarded by our people. Such
we think, is the general impression.
Nothing now remains but for all interest
cd to put forth renewed energies in the pro
secution OF the work. The laying Of thl
iron will Immediately commence and will b
pnshetlon with the utmost diligence. Unde
these circumstances, may we not with con
fdence call upon the counties along the lin
which have pot yet come forward to the sup
port OF the enterprise, 10 do SO Immediately
Perry has ,romised to do SO and we feel con
fident she will fulfill her promise. Ever
consideration should prompt her to do it,
\ And will Hooking and Vinton be behind?-
\ We assure you, friends, now is the time fc
1 action. A little earnest effort on your pa
now, will insure the speedy consiructio
through your midst of one OF the finest road
ia any State. Will you make it?
