The Insane Asylum has been prosperous the last
year. The number admitted to it with view to
tive relief or safety and care has been considerably
increased over aly former year and although we
have had to regret within that period the change OF
superintendent, yet the institution has suffered no
apparent interruption in its humane and benefcent
operations from that source. Acute disease has
scarcely entered the precincts of the asylum the past
year, end the patients have enjoyed degree of COM
lort kindness and care, entirely beyond attainment
ave in such an institution
An appropriation of IS 900 is recommended, being
he amount estimated as New Hampshire's proper
ion one Of the original Thirteen, for erecting in
Philadelphia, the public grounds surrounding the
Hall OF independence, some appropriate and durable
memorial Of the declaration which announced the
independence OF tie British colonies, and OF the men
who were the agents in producing it. Also the usual
appropriation Of 81 600 for the support Of INDECENT
deaf. dumb, and blind, at the asylum in Hartford,
Conn. An appropriation for the erection of monu-
President of New Hampshire, under the old colonial

The commissioners appointed to revise and compile
the laws Of the State have completed their labors,
and the compiled volume, containing nearly eight
hundred pages attests the ability and fidelity with
which they have performed the duty assigned them
The statutes have received a careful and aborious
revision. They are published in q substantial and
convenient form, at price SO low that every voter
can afford to own the volume
The second volume Of the new series OF the New
Hamshire Reports, which has been necessarily de.
layed longer than was anticipated at the issuing of
the first volume will appear in the course of the pre-
sent month, and it is confidently expected by the
4aA< hn
issued regularly a, intervals of from eight to ten
months. The unpublished decisions Of the Superior
Court, embracing the period of from July, lS44 to
July, 1850 do not come under the supervision OF the
State reporter; therefore if any inconvenience is ex
perienced by the disqualification OF the decisions
during that period no fault can be ascribed to the
State reporter. The copyrights of the first and sec
end volumes have been disposed of as authorized by
the act establishing the Office of State reporter and
the proceeds accounted for to the State Treasurer.
