Costumes OF THE LAW N ENGLAND.-The
English papers state that nearly ten years
ago gentleman named Hartly died and
bequeathed by will upwards of S5oo.00O to
the corporation of Southampton. to be eN,
pended in measures TO promote the intel
lectual improvement of the inhabitants o.
that town. The will was disputed by dis
tant and dubious relatives of the testator
and litigation has been going on up to the
present time in the Court of Chancery. Il
has ended in a compromise, at the recon-
mendation Of the counsel engaged on botl
sides, and the litigants have Withdrawn
their claims for Sll2.5G0. thus leaving
about 100000 for the corporation; of thai
! sum. however, the law costs have to he de
| Quoted amounting TO nearly Sl75,0Oo,a ,anC
| legacy duty amounting To nearly s22,ooo
SO all that remains to carry out the dyn4
wish Of the testator Is less than 100000
| Much Indignation is felt in Southampton
that after thcretorm of the Court of Chan
! Gerry, litigation can last SO long there, anC
its expenses be SO enormous. The cost o
taNlng-that is, reduciug-th law charge
| was nearly 5000.

arrested on charge OF conspiracy to blow
up the house of his fatherin-law's family,
with unpowdcr. One ofthree men who
are said to have been employed in the mat
ter. has testified that six weeks ago Mr.. FL
lot empld0Rd the three to cover the whole
front Of the house of Mr.. Sedan, his father
in-law with tarand filth which they did, and
subsequently he applied TO them to blow
up the house furnishing them with a jug
of powder and other things for the pur-
pose. The witness says his heart failed him
in this last work, and he gave it up, and
informed the police. The only evidence

the parties, but Mr.. Sedan believes the
story, and says it is the result of long
standing difficulty with his son-in-law.
whom he has assisted at various times very
literally.

PRoGEEss.-A spicy correspondent Of the
New Orleans CLrieiiaa Adroc1te, who has
recently attended State Fair. in one Of
the Cotton States thus notes how our peo-
pie are progressing forwards in something's
and backwards in others.
There were great crowds in attendance.
perhaps as many as six or eight thousand
The weather was, for the most part very
fine. All day long the thunderous roll Of
wheels shook the bustling throughfares
Jehu was there in all his pride and pomD.
The busy whip, the blasphemous obiurga-
ton, the goaded beast, and flving dust
announced his knightly presence and his
lordly sway. In the rich sunlight OF our
| bright November days, the eye was fairly
! dazzled by the splendid bedizennents
of female wardrobes. The costliness Of
the rustling silks, and purple velvets
ermine bordered: the richness ofthe grace
ful shawlls, and the superb etfiorescenee of
their irresistible bonnets: the glitter Of
/ beiewelled ears, and necls, and fingers
1 taken all in all, was quite as much as an
impecunious pcdagogue could behold with
out going instantly into a monetary con-
sumption. There were gaping loiterers
around every object of interest; there
were grave old gentlemen discussing an
! obese hog there were hashy youths in
! striped unmentionables. with miraculous
! neck-ties, vociferously debating the quail
ties of a tavorite trotter; there were dis
/ gushing specimens of Young American ''as-
sa0aacy,' sporting gold-headed canes. chew
/ ing the stumps of smouldering segars, be-
! touling every place with their nauseous
I saliva and profaning the very air around
! them by their ribaldIy. | looked on with
a sadly thoughtful heart. | saw clearly
! that hogs We're improving, cows growing
/ larger and more lactiierous: poultry adj
/ vancing in the scale of biped animality,
and horses getting gtattcr, slicker. and faster.
/ These were the results aimed at. and they
were attained. But saw women growing
more frivolous laughing at tests that edged
I the obscene. | saw men growing coarSeI
and more brutal. ! saw BOYS dishonorina
F. theirpareutage aspiring to be profanc, am.
I bilious TO be fools, and wonderfully success
I lul in winning contempt. You viii form
