GENTLEMEN:
After careful examination of your Gamer
lean pleadcrs assistant" take pleasure in ex-
pressing my entire approval of the selection and
composition of the precedents thus offered to the
public. The legal profession in Pennsylvania
stands in need of correct system of pleading,
adapted to our habits of busAe ss and the practice
of the courts Your forms of declarations being,
TO great extent, founded on the acts of assembly,
will be a saving of labor to the pleader. and con-
duce to saiet" and brevity in our pleadings
1t should be in the hands of every practising
lawyer in our state.
Yours, with great respect,
JNO. ]. Pc CARSON.

by Judge Jordan and others. examined it with
some care soon afterwards, and have had occa'
sion to use it several times since. | think it de
cidedly valuable as manuel for practising
attorneys in Pennsylvania, and do not hesita,,
TO recommend it. If it were generally used il
would increase the accuracy of the profession in
matters which are often very carelessly done.

going on under the auspices of both Eng
land and France for attacking Russia,
as well in the Baltic as in the Black Sea.
A British contingent force of 10 900 men
were to sail on board steam transports
especially hired for that purpose, on the
18th, for Malta, there to rendezvous, aud
to he h ED in readiness for military opera
tons for the protection of Constantinople.
Thirty-six British ships of the line and
frigates, with ten or twelve French men
of-war of the largest class, were to as
semble in the Downs on the 9th Of March,
for service in the Baltic.
In all the dock yards and arsenals of
England and France the greatest activity
prevailed. The French ocean squadron,
under Admiral Bruat, had reached Algiers
and was embarking a division of the Afri-
can army amounting to $4,000 men, after
which it wa to set sail for Toulon; where
an English squadron and transports were
TO meet it, and take on board $4,000
French troops to land at Silviera, near
Ronosta, on the sea of Marmora, a spot
fixed upon as the best for the protection
of the Bosphorous and Dardaneles.
1t appears, however, that notwithstand-
ing these extensive and tremendous pre-
parations for war, fresh negotiations for
peace were actually in progress, and that
ain autograph letter had been written by
the Emperor Louis Napoleon with the
consent of the British cabinet to the EN-
peror of Russia, proposing a fresh basis
of negotiations. A reply to this PROPOSE
ton was expected to reach Paris by the
22d of February, and some persons pro-
fessed themselves sanguine that these new
efforts to preserve the tranquility of the
world would not be unsuccessful. Others,
and these the ma jorty of the English peo-
pie, thought that the Gar would be glad
at any price to gain time, so as to strike
his medtated blow on the Turks on the
Danube, before any assistance could reach
that point from the Western Powers gen
orally. Great disgust at the prospect of
any further negotiations was expressed,
and wish was generally entertained that
measures taken as should speedily bring
the Emperor of Russia to his senses, 10y
means Of succession Of vigorous opera
tions against Sebastopol, Odessa, Cron-
stadt and ST. Petersburg.
According to advices from the theatre
Of war in Asia, up to the Goth January,
Prince Worzonhoff was still ill. Schamyl
had received from Turkey large store
of arms and money, and he had also been
Joined by some officers to drill his men,
He was pushing forward his armaments
with great energy, and almost all Abarice
had pronounced in his favor.

Papy, u. s. Commissioner, where he
Immediately gave satisfactory bonds to

LOUIS NAPoLEoN.-Mr. Geo. N. San
ders, writing from London, to the New
York Herald, says:
'Louis Napoleon is preparing for war
on the grandest scale. 1t is known that
he will have, by early spring, an invad-
ing army of seven hundred thousand men,
fully equipped. The active parts taken
by all the Northern Courts, especially
that of Austria and Russia, in bringing
about the Bourbon fusion, has deeply ex-
cited Louis Napoleon. He sees in the
success of Nicholas, the re-establsh-
ment of the Bourbons in France. Hence,
notwithstanding his present apparent
friendly relations, or rather pleasant
coquetry, with Austria, he will, in few
months, strike for the Italian States, and
attempt to hold them as the cost Of Aus
trian alliance with Russia, and the Or
leanists and Legitimists. Louis Napo-
leon having made up his mind to fight,
will fatter the other powers by canvas
sing their propositions for adjustment,
until he can have in movement all thee
! material for an aggressive war;"

Discovery OF RICH DIGGINGs ON Rus
SIAN RIVERA correspondent of the
Times and Transcript writes as follows
from Petaluma, under date of March %:
For the last few days our little city has
been in continual state of hustle, simi-
lar to that which often was witnessed IN
'49 and 80. A rich discovery of the pre-
cious metal, on Russian river is the cause
of all this stir, which is taking hundreds
out of our cOunty--from their farms which
have paid them SO poorly for this last
years work. The contrast which is pre-
sented here in business, between the pre-
sent time and two weeks ago, is surpris-
ing. Then the stores were doing no-
thing, and the rancheros had faces as long
as the moral law. Now the stores and
hotels are crowded; wagons and pack
mules are loading for the mines, while
companies are every day fitting out with
all the traps necessary for mining opera
tions. There is also coach started,
which runs as near the mines as the face
of the country will admit, which is within
two or three miles. A number of persons
have returned from the placers for sup
plies, and invariably plank down the dust,
which is considered good indication.-
Now if these mines hold out, of which
we have not the least doubt, they will
prove to be very rich, for the reports that
come from there, each corroborates the
other, the fortune of PetaIuma, andn fact
all this side of the Bay, will be glorious,
from the fact that our commercial ad-
vantages are good, our agricultural re-
sources are scarcely if at all surpassed
in the State; and with plenty of good
water, and excellent timber in any guam
tity, we expect to have an era of pros
perity unequalled in California, where
all the elements of wealth have not been
equally combined.
Yours, respectfully C. P. V.
