Press TRI-'WEEKX.Y. TClSPiir JPLT SO, 18M.- *he <»vmnowuucui In the angry diaoussioua which have ob scured knowiolgcof the true commercial poli cy of the country, it has boon assumed on the cue side, and admitted on tho other, that our tariff rested oa a principle, and that it was susceptible of no chango without a violation of soma well-known law of political The assumption is untruo and tho admission unwise. Tho scale of duties on merchandize baa no more relation to a fixed and well ascot* taiued. principle, than tho price of pork or ilour. Both arc questions for the moment— matters of expediency only, and may bo •baugod with every chango in our condition, aad with the oonstautly increasing or diminish ng demand and supply Tl« "principle" which governs to-day may be no principle to morrow. The duties, which, this year, yield sufficient revenue and adequate protection, mar be far too small next year. Tbero is no law wide enough in its scope or comprehen sive enough in its operations, to meet the new conditions which tho changing phases of na tional industry and national production are in* evolving. Tho fortune—tho luck tie productive power—the industrial activity of nations remain the same no two'ycars in succession. Prosperous, as the result'of largo crops, general health and open markets, a cow combination of tho causes which afcet growth and diminish wealth, may pro d ice an almost instantaneous change, and ruin and disaster take tho place of abundance. These remarks arc too trito to noed enforce ment by illustration. All men will admittheir truth in the abstract, but half the men in this country will resist their application to tho complications in which our manufactures, our commerce and our agriculture are involved. The Tariff or 1846, perhaps well enough to tneet the exigencies of tho period for which it was enacted—a fair enough and perhaps ne cessary cure for the commercial ills that were thon complained of—will by these bo iu ststed upon as tho panacea for the far different and more serious ills by which we are now beset. Wo claim to be wiser than that—to see in the new combina- ' tions reasons for the modification of tho na tional policy, and for the reconstruction of our commercial system. We do not indicnte what , fhould bo done—do not say to what length rtuuiges should proceed; but surely ho is blind who does not soo in the astonishingly low prices of our great agricultural staples, the depressed condition of cur manufacturing in dustry, the enormous importations of foreign merchandise, tho extraordinary exportation of American gold, and the consequent hard times wlrch are pinching all classes, reasons for tho 1 establishment of a more satisfactory system, at least uutil tho present condition of afiairs is • reversed. The axioms of 1846 do not meet she wants o{ 1659. Tho legislation based upon them, though healthful to our commerco then, is poison to our national prosj>ority now. Tho country needs something different—something ty the nzenep or through the aid of which, cur crir»pu»d and prostrate manufacturers may bo bit* u tiy whvy ot:- mines of iron, lead, line, aud copper, may supply tlie demand now lilted by labor abroad—by whicb our exhaust less beds of fuel may bo tuado to increase *iie national wealth—by which the sur plus produce of tho farmers may bo ex changed for manufactured goods, without making tho passage of tho sea at tho far mers expense—by which the producer and fousumer may bo brought sido by side, to tho advantage of both—by which American citi- ■ sens, who will not work for a shoep's bead and-pluck a day, and sleep uudcr tho cart at night, may bo protected'iu tho exercise of their craft against the laborer of the old world, to whom that head-and-pluck would be a God send. Wo do not see how new legislation, looking to theso ends, is to be avoided or < much longer postponed or how tho advocates of free trado doctrines will dejgmd their dog- I ma* when applied to the condition of things which now obtains. Every successive year anakes our condition worse. One by one tho miaea whence our metals are derived are being abaudoned; one branch after another of manu facturing iudustry succumbs before the com petition of foreign mills, invited by low duties; our indebtedness abroad grows larger and largoras importations, now excessive, increase; the markets of the old world, abundantly supplied by homo production, aro closed against tho produce of our soil; tho gold which measures our strength and prosperity -s mortgaged before it comes out of the ground; and instead of txing. as wo ought, with our diversified climate aud unlimited capability of production, oue of tho strongest aud roost self-sustaining of nations on tho globe, we are fast becoming the vassal of tboso powers tliat do not, in their legislation, dis crinlimuo against tho sources of tho wealth whence they dorive their power. Whatever may bo tho theory of our readers —bow-much»&>cvcr they may have cherishod Free Trada as tho true policy of tho nations— they mt«st, wo think, agree with us that the time Vus come for adapting the legislation of i lbs country to the existing facts, regardless of speculative and theoretic notious. Wo do not j demand a high Tariff, or a Tariff solely for protection; but wo will gladly join in any movement which looks to that alteration in our commercial system tliat is demanded as the corrective of past errors aud the preven tion of tho bankruptcy which now stares tho nation in the faco. OLD nit. CAS* AND XIIS BLtJN* DEUS Tho late bluudcrs w tho Stato Department s*t Washingtou in the matter of the rights of naturalized citizens abroad, mako it apparent that old Mr. Cass is losing his wits, and if the remains of a national reputation aro i to be preserved a competent regency should j be established over him at once. Tho first : /iiLxjMLioi 1 the series was his Lc Gere letter, j In which be held that a naturalized dtizen of Freuch birth would bo liable to conscription and army service in his native country if he. should voluntarily repair thither, irrespective of the obligations which tho French law de volved upon him at the period of his emigra tion. Tho next was his Hofer letter in wluch be reviewed his own ground and laid down tho principle that naturalized citizens were ouly subject to such service in foreign coun tries as they might have been subject to at the period of their emigration. The former of tbeso dogmas would permit tbo forced con scription of every Fivuch-Ajnerican who should visit his native country on business or pleasure. The latter would consign to similar service overy Prussian, and three fourths of nil the Germans, who have sought homes at tho invitation of tho Atncricau i>coplc under the protection of the Amorican lhig. Tho last blun- j dcr of tho series (until Mr. Cass shall again ! take his pen in hand) is the dispatch said 1 to have been lately addressed to tho American Minister st Berlin, in tbc case of a naturalized ' Hanoverian wno had snado bold to revisit liis birthplace aud badboes usfeiwd a pkw» in j the Hanoverian army, to which bo was not . 1 üble at tho timo of bis emigration. What with the Secretary's baste to correct '"his first mistakes, and his auxiety at the.sametime to" preserve tbo semblance,-of consistency, -W®*: havu in this last document a sort of cross firo of Cess against common souse, which will gravel tho foreign potentates for whose benefit it was preparod wo tbink considerably.

It would hardly be poacible to at* sort tho , right* of naturalized citizens in clearer or stronger tanpngo than tho foUowinj, which wo And In tho Berlin dispatch: "The question artaes, what rights do onr laws cower upon a foreigner by grunting him natu ralization t _ I ansttur all the rights, privileges, acd immunities which belong to a native-born ciluen, in their full extent, with tbe single qual incation that, under the Constitution, * no per *>n c *® c Pt a natural-born citizen is eligible to tuo office ! of President.' With this exception 10.I 0 . Btturalized citizen, from and after the date of bis nuturulizatiou, both at home and abroad, is placed upon the Very same footing with the native citizen. Ue is neither in a better nor a worse condition. • ♦ » « The moment a foreigner becomes naturalized, his allegiance to hia native country is severed forever. He experiences a new pofiticol birth. A broad and impassable line separates bim from his native country. He is no more responsible for anything he may say or do, or omit to say or do, after assuming bis new character, than if he had been born In the United States. Should he return to his native country, he returns as an American citizen, and in no other charac ter. These are broad and general principles. If the mother not lost its meaning, it is here the naturalized citizen is no more liable to conscription or- military service ■ than tho native born citizen, whether eo liable at the time of emigration or not Yet in the very next paragraph itr. Cass says: "•A. future liability to serve ia the army will not be sufficient, because before tbc time can arrive for such service he has changed his alio gtance, and has become a citizen ot the United States. It would be quite absurd to contend a boy, brought to this country from a foreign coontfy.wuh his father's family when but twelve years of age, and naturalised here, who should afterwards visit tbe country of bis birth when he had become a man, might then be seized and compelled to perform mUitarv scrvice, because if be had remained tbere throughout the intervening years and his life life had b<»en spared he wouta have been bound to perform military service." But the question, Mr. Secretary, is all about a present liability. All ritironn of Prussia are liible to military service. All citizens who havo tho youthful vigor and cnorgy to emi grate, belong to tho landwthr ot ihe first levy, and are liable to be called into active service at any time. If a member of large enroll ment migrates to this country, and subse quently returns on business, is he still at tho disposal of bis commanding officer, or his for mer Government? This is a question of soma consequence in tho present state of European affaire, and that of the "boy twelve years old" is of no consequence whatever, itr. Cass is obfuscated. The more he writes , the more writing requires to be done. Jl GOOD NOMINATION. We loam with pleasure that Cyhus Aldbicii Esq., formerly of Dixon, in this State, but now of Minneapolis, has been nominated for Con gress by the Republicans of bis District in Minn sota. Mr. A. ran for the same place as the candidate of tho Whig party in 1852, in this District; and but for tho X ? reo Soil vote, so great was his pereoual popularity, bo would havo beaten Weutwortli, who was pitted against him. Ho was then as now looked upon as an eminently fair-minded and just man, with whom tho interests of his constitu ents would bo safe. Tho dissolution of tho ; Whig party threw hhn into tho Republican ranks, where ho has been a worker of much moro tlian ordinary effectiveness and zcaL Though by no means an ultra or fnnntWl anti slavery man, ho is well grounded in tho funda mental doctrines of bis party, and if elected he will never givo his friends reason to regret his want of eymi*atby with their cause, wliilo he will never unnecessarily provoke any greater decree of sectional bate. A thorough business man—a thoroughly honest man—a man of acknowledged ability—his Republican friends owe him a triumplmut election. The Collier S£m**iidatlons of Shakf* pcurc. Tbe public will recollect the excitement created by the publication in 3552 of Mr. J. Paine Collier's cditiou of Shakspcarc, corrected from marginal notes said-to have been found in the copy of a folio edition of 16G2, purchased by him in 1649. The volume was subsequently | presented to the late Dake of Devonshire. Mr. Hamilton, of the manuscript department of the British Museum, writes a loug letter to the London Time*, saying that tbc present Dake has allowed bim to examine the book, and he has made discoveries that the pretended old marginal alterations, notes, aud stage directions are of quite recent date. The water-mark of the leaves pasted inside the cover is a crown surmounting the letters "G. It." ( Georgiut Rex), and the Dutch lion within a-poling, wiih the le gend 44 pro f atria" showing that the binding of the book was some time during the reign of one of the Georges. He says that there is evidence to show that the corrections, though intended to resemble a hand ef the middle of the Seven teenth Century, could not hare been written on the margins of the volume until after it was bound, and consequently not, at tbe earliest, until towards the middle of the Eighteenth, lie then enters iuU> quite a minute description of the alterations, an examination of which has satisfied bim that they arc of modern work. Mr Collier replies to Mr.-Hamilton's letter, denying bis implied charges tn fo/o,and holding that bis inferences as to the antiquity of the volume, drawn from the fly-leaves pasted inside . the covers, arc wholly unwarranted. , Mr. Col uber vindicates his own good faith by stating { that if he had chosen to appropriate tbe infor ! mution obtained-from tbe folio, and publish the emendations as his own, he might have ac quired tbe reputation of tbe first Sbakspcarean commentator in the world; ,und furthermore, that if he bad any suspicion of the genu ineness of the notes, he would not hare allowed the volume to pass out of bis hands. The Kansas Land Smlea~-DUBc(ilUes Apprcheuded. A correspondent of the. Keokuk Gate City writing from Doniphan, K. T., says: 41 There in considerable speculation here as to the land sales, and the general opinion is that tbero will be no bidders. Buchanan's ill-advised : measure of forcing tbc homestead of the pre - emptor into market has hud the effect of mak j ing mauy votes lor the opposition. There were : no bidders at the Ouiaba sale, la*t week. Not a single cash bidder, I !>eiieve. So much for 1 forcinjr. There are, bowercr, many speculators out here with laud warrants, and as soon as the days of sale shall have passed they will bes;in to locate thetn.

"A new difficulty is uow arising, and it bids fair to be a very serious one. and it may result iu bloodshed. It is that the people who have a just appreciation of the law, seo it has not been complied with and have commenced** jumping" the unoccupied claims, and the owners, it is thought, wifl resort to violence. Frequently do you hear a person declare he will shoot any body who "jumps his claim. But so it is, mat ters are becoming confused, and though all may eventually be tignted, we may fear the worst.

The Maltese hare come and the disappoint ment is as great as tbc crowd is little.- A flood was expected, but it turned out only a sprinkle. A week ago nobody would tolerate the idea that a loss nuiLber than 3,000 were coming. Later advices compelled them to reduce the number to 2,voi), but below that figure not a 'cat' would anybody fall. But the anticipations of the pub licans and sinners received a rude shock when tho Maltese bore in sight. What a fall was there my countrymen! The splendid and capa cious steamers Milwaukee and Itasca came to tbc landing in grand style, all decorated with flags, evergreens, and emblems, with bandsTof music playing, cannon booming, and passen gers cheering. But there were only two steam ers in place of fire, and 800 excursionists in stead of 2000; and less than half of these even were brethren of the mystic tie. The num ber of G. It. J. As did not exceed 150 The members of the Order in St. Paul met them at the landing, to the number 0f209, and escort ed the visiting Sons through the principal streets, thence to the large room where they reccircd an address from the Grand Commander of the Order in Minnesota, which was answered on behalf of the excursionists by Gov. Randall, of Wiscousin. After the usual congratulations, the visitors were served with an excellent colla tion. The lodge closed.about. 12 o'clock at night, and the excursionists betook tbemselrcs to the hotels. It set in to rain on Friday night, and all day Saturday was wet and drizzly. The streets wcro muddy and the weather chilly* which cast n damper upon tbc order of festivi ties. Tbc Ben Campbell, stern wheeler, start ed for Fort Soelling and tho Falls of Minne haha during the afternoon, and returned , towards night. But it was too un ! pleasant to sec much. To-day tbc weather has cleared up, and the lacoritt i has made two or three trips to tbc Fort and ! Fulls, enabling all to visit the romantic "Laugh ing Waters." A good many people went up to St. Anthony and Minneapolis, eight miles from St. Paul, by stage, back and buggy. Some feeling disappointed at the meagre show, re turned home on the steamer Milwaukee, which loft for Prairie du Chicn at 11 A M. to-day, but the majority intend remaining until Tuesday morning.* The " Feast of the Nine Cardinals." advertised to lake place on Xicollet Island (between St. Authonv uud Minneapolis) at 2 P. *., Saturday, was indefinitely postponed ou account'of the weather. This occasioned another sore disap pointment.- At least 1.000 persons came up the Mi£»i*Ktppi aud down the. Minnesota to witucss the wonderful ceremony. One stcamar, the KaU Cfuftli, with passengers aboard "taken iu" at Prescott, Kedw ng, Hastings, and other points, proceeded in all haste to the Falls of 'Minnehaha, where they expected to find'tbe Maltese Grand Encampment:bnt these L. K JJV. curiosity seekers returned <lown the river last night, swearing that the Sons of Malta were a humbug, if not a myth.

The or der floui ished for a few days " like r green bay tree, but ut this time the converts feel sold in more respects than ceremonial. Another mo tive that prompted the rush into tho order was the hope of gain. It was supposed that not less than $75,000 would bo epent in Minnesota by the vast crowd of visiting brethren, who • were coining from at least thirty States of the Union and also from the four quarters of the habitable globe; and to obtain a share of the disbursements it was deemed prudent and proper to be ot the brethren. So publican and sinner koocked at the portals for permission to enter, aud they were aft generally ** taken in." For eighteen months pust money has been an exceedingly scarce commodity in Minnesota, and. the anticipated disbursements subtract ed nothing trom the popularity of the Grand Excursion of the G. R. J. A's with the denizens of St. Paul and the region round shout,'and the failure of the affair has brought' no little mortification. To say the truth the' St. Panlites bad spared no pains or to give their visitors a handsome re ception. The hotels were covered inside and out, on the roof, balconies and walls with flags' 'and .emblems. Festoons and wreaths hung from store and shop windows and doors; ban ners were stretched across the principal streets —flags flnttcred on tbo breeze from every pin nacle and pole. Band* of music playea, and eaonon roared their loudest. The eating houses boarding houses, and hotels of hich and low degree, had provided an ample supply of meats, .dnuks, and bedding, to comfortably accommo date the-numerous aud needy strangers that were coming, but who came not. It is known that the ** Knights" obey the orders of their Hkh Soperior, and tt must be admitted that it was shabby treatment of the 41 bretbering" of Minnesota, for the Grand Goasticntis to command the gallant Sons to absent themselves from the 44 Feast of the Nine Cardinals"—at least so thinketb the chagrined aud disappointed brethren of the Lodges in the land of Ninncbaba. .

Re member, I do not gire myself out for a pbro phet; lam not in the secret of the Emperor, nor of his staff; but, if lam not very much mistaken, the long-matured political plans of the Emperor have not succeeded as that splen did attack improci** of Solferino did succeed: nor are the King and the Emperor as cordial friends as two victors should be withiu a week after such a day of glory as the SSd of June proved for both. [Th? writer goes on to speak of the embar rassing nature of the Roman question, and of the Emperor'sdisappotntmcut at not being able to find a throne for I'rince Napoleon in Tus cany. He concludes as follows:] Now, it is possible that the Emperor might look over this little derangeinciit of his pfau, considering it easy to find another throne for Pion-Pionj but auothcr and still more serious trouble an»es iu the Legations. The moment the Austrians are compelled to retire, tbc in habitants of the I'apal States, whom brute force alone* has prevented from dethron ing the Pope every day since 1645; throws otf the hated yoke and proclaims Re Victor King. What can the Emperor do tie told the Italians from Milan to organize themselves in a military way: to rally round the King's standard, and follow him on the path to honor, promising not to offer auy im pediment to the expression of their fegitimate wishes. They have * done so I Perhaps be meant only to speak to the Lombards? Then he should have said so distinctly. lie cannot now send troops to crush the Italians for their prompt obedience to his call; and on the other band he has guaranteed the temporal dominions of the Church to the Pope—so ho cannot help his subjects to rebel.' He is between two dilemmas* On tho oue hand, the French clerizy will do their utmost to rouse an insurrection ia France, if the Pope be assailed wiih even the indirect consent of the Emperor; on the other, the massacres at Peru gia havo set not only the inhabitants of the Pa pal states frautic, but ull the itali&ns. As long* as they bi-liere tbat tbe Euiperor will (if be does not help) con&eht to their taking vcugeanee for those iutmnie*, they are still his nrdent ad mirers ; but already 'his hilence has shocked them. Calming words from Ouyon are no lon ger sufficient lor the Itomaus. Aud depend on it, when the last Austrian is withdrawn from Comacubio and I'anna thev will .take mutters into their own hands. l*hc Emperor knows this, lie knows that Victor Emanuel is pro foundly grieved at the existing atate of things; that he does not see, and canuot be made to see, why he sh mld not be King of Italy, siuce the lialians wish it.

Perhaps Venice may be freed from the Austrian, but made into a separate kingdom, under the Archduke Max. Perhaps this panic has no foundation. Na poleon has said that Italy shall be free from the Alps to the Adriatic. Will he prove himself as incapable or unfaithful iu the face of Europe? Yet the unnecessarily slow approach of the Frnnco-Sardo fleet towards Venice seems to give color to tbe panic, for I can call it nothing else, which seems to hare seized on all.

" Certaiu it is that Schouvoloff, a confiden tial envoy of the Czar, has arrived at tbe French headquarters; and it is likewise cer tain' that- Austria has been spending fabu lous sums at St. Petersburg to effect some movement favorable to her interests.

Auiitrfa'a Dilemma* [Extract of a letter from a •cjounlas at Trieste, to liU father.] * TruEsrs, Saturday, July 2.—There was a re port from a creditable source, last evening, to tbe effect tbat Austria is desirous of attempt ing a mediation, perceinui; that with her iin f»orrri«hed treasury, nnd ihe general unpopu arity of h--r canse.'i: would be useless to sacri fice more men, and incur greater pecuniary ligations'. To the above end. Envoys have'been sent to tho French head-quarters, which rumor ascribes to be Villa Franca. These' Envovs have been commissioned by the Emperor to oCVr the restoration of the whole of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdoms. In other words.* the Austrians are willing to evacuate It aly. To gain tbis;the war began. With such a concession the war ends. .. It is further stated that the Emperor had not gone to Vienna, but retired in disgust and de spair to Verona, whence these"proposils'of peace emanated. An insurrection of Vienna itself was leared~if war continued, and a peue-. ral and sudden change in the feelings of the .whole Austrim population has taken place. Such is the report. Tbo events now happening may of themselves contradict It, but here it is believed.

Her officers and crew were all on boiird. But this morning an Officer was placed on board from the United Statesretenue cotter Campbell, which came round from New port, she baring been in this vicinity for several dars. .

We understand that parties nave beeii on ih<* look out for the past ten davs and in constant communication with the authorities elsewhere, and that the seizure is made not wholly on ac count of tbe manner of outfit, Ac., but upon cir cumstances not known to Uie public. The ship is of a larger burden tban vessels generally employed iu the whaling service, and ( cleared with but twenty-tbree men, while she * was supplied with seven whaleboats—the defi ciency in men, however, could be supplied at the ( Western Islands. She has no first officer, which might be also supplied in tho same,way. The second officer, we are told, was shipped with the understanding that he was to be third' when at seai. There are but three try pots on board, and one of thr-ee is crocked. She is not coppered in the usual manner of whalers, being coppered on the skin,, whereas, they are coppercdou a sheathing, and besides she is only coppered low down, and as she now lies the metal is two feet under water. This also may hare been done as a matter ofecon omy. The lower hold is said to be stowed with casks full of fresh water, whereas whalers gen erally fill the casks in the lower hold with salt water. Tbe Atlantic had on board 1200 1 bnsbels of coro to be disposed of at Fayal, aud provisions shipped by Portuguese to their friends residing at tbe islands, and a very large mail for whal ers expected to touch at tbe Islands.'.

Marshall ftynders despatched Mar shall Lorenzo Dc Angelis, who discovered the Eurcba»e of the ships Atlantic and Comoro,and as been watching their outfit. Amedes has been in New Bedtord, it is presumed, as he was on board the fall river boat on Saturday night. Mr. De Angelis joined the cutter Cauipbelfon Tuesday night, and set sail to intercept the vessels. Jlud the cutter been fully manned, she was to have taken the Alluutic, and then lay olf for the Comoro, but as it was they were obliged to take the Atlautic this morning, and Lieutenant Trar ers was put in chargeof ucr.

A circular has been prepared and is now ready for publication, which is to be issued in pamph let form in the course of a very few days and distribu'ed, by moans of which the profesaion and the public will be put iu possession of all particulars: iu regard to the opening of the School, the modes of instruction, the nutptter and length of terms, tuition fees, names of Pro fessors and-object to be accomplished by the foundation of this School. For the purpose of .putting this Board in possession of the means provided, and the.ef i forts made to put this Department of tbe Col . lege upon a footing' equal, tf not superior to that 01 any. University or Lav School ever in augurated in this country, yonr Committee beg leave to. state. That immediately after uie appointment of tht» emioent legal gentlemen constituting the Board of Counsellors, and entrusted bv this ltoard with the very responsible charge of initiating under tbe proper auspices, an educational department of so much importance to the Xortnwest, as the " Law School of the Uuiversito of Chicago," organized their first meeting at the office of Hoyne, Miller A Lewis, in Chicago, on the 11th day of April, 153'j, by calling tbe Hou. Thouias Drummond, the United States District Judge, to tbe char, and the appointment of Ezra B. McCugg, E»q., as Secretary. There were also present at that first meeting, the Hon: Hugh T. Dickey, Mark Skinner, George Hannierre, Van 11. Higgins, X. B. Judd, Thomas Drummond, Ezra B. McCagg, Grant Goodrich, H. G. Ilitltfr, aud Thomas Hoyne, be sides Rev. iJ. C. Burroughs, William Jones* Esq., and lion. J. IL Woodworth, of tho Board. of Trustees. After a very full anil earnest discussion of all tho topics connected with tbe subject, during which the most derided interest was manifested and the moat confidi'tst prediction of success expressed by all present, it was resolf-jd that a committee consisting of linn. H. T. Dickey. Ezra B. McCagg and Thomas Hoyne,be appointed to aeeun* as the Hot atep to a permanent organi zation, a competent and proper perron to take charce of the pro(»o»ed Law iScbuol an principal instructor, and make sueb further arrangements as I hey should deem nece>iuiry to inaugurate the same, with power to call meetings of tbe Board of Counsellors whenever they shquld: deem it necessary. ;. The first thing deemed essential by this Com mittee, and ; which upon reflection came to be regarded as an indispensable pre requisite to inviting a competent legal professor to abandon prospects elsewhfite daiufed j perhap - leave a remunerative practice in tielas loug husbanded, and lay aside hopes identified with a long career of usefulness, that some guarantee should bo offered as a pledge of their own confidence, that, in making so important a change, be should not be' exposed to the riskt of a total failure in un dertaking so important an enterprise upon an untried aud unexplored fie d without at least an iudemnity for the loss of his time while engaged in making tbe experiment. As a guarantee, therefore, of the confidence felt by the Profes sion in Chicago, as well as to secure a Proces sor, an instrument of guaraotee wus drawn up, by wbich it was proposed that fifu-cn hundred dollars per anuuui for two years should be paid to such J'rofe«aurin any eveut, provided that the income derived from the fees ot students uid not make un such sum; besides whtch. he wus to receive the income of the $5,000 endowment fund, thus securing him for two years a salary of übout per unuutn. To obtain the ne cessary aud responsible signatures to this guar antee would, it was though*, be difficult, while it might prove the very " crisis" that woutd se cure or clefeat the success of the cnteprise. But your Committee desire iu this report to have ft recorded atnoug the archives of the College, as well to attest the enlightened public spirit of the Chicago Bar as their favorable opinion of the School, that twenty-nine gentle men of tbeprofesslou at once came forward and subscribed instead of tho $1,500 required, the sum of s2,imG p?r annum on the guarantee for two years, which will reduce the subscription of each subscriber to about fifty-pur cent of (he amount subscribed in order to realize the sum of fifteen bundled dollars. Tbe guarantee being thus placed beyood a contingeucy. the name* of several distinguished and eimuetit jurists wtre presented in connec tion with the Professorship. The Couimittee, found the difficulty of selection to consist in tbe fact, that of those whom they thought of selecting 00 account of their greater fitness Mnd capacity, uearty til bad a future of hopes already securvd, which they would not abandon, while of tuose willing to accept, tbe very failure of snch hopes at an advanced |>eriod of hutnau life, aeetued a discouraging reason against the acceptance of their services. The Committee determined their tine of ac tion by couctusious derived from their otfrn experience. Success in most uudertaktugs is found in no decree to so.etv depend upon great reputation, bowuv«r popular, «*«U iiMril«4 or general; neither upon age, capacity, great talents or great experience, taken singly ur in combination.' There must, in all casei, be cer tain happy coincidences of .ortnne indicating the fitness of the person and the'concurrence of his qualifications with the time, plaee and op portunity of any great success. That as much depends upon the peculiar adaptation of the in structor to tbe exigences of an occasion, and his qualifications for the place as upon any .other consideration of eminence or reputation attained. But that { more especially, should en ergy and zeal be united wilh a personal ambition and enthusiasm in working out that complete success, wbich is, at all tunes, the prize that stimulates and secures it among all the true sons of toil, or tbe fields of professional labor. If the Committee is found attaching more importance to this p.rsonal subject than seems called for, it is because they feel impressed by tbe conviction that iu Chicago, from its very commanding po sition as tbe Oiorth-western metropolis, tue es tablishment of a Laiv School can only fail be •cause of the injudicious selection of a principal instructor.' The Committee; determined,there fore, that nothing should be overlooked, calcu lated to secure a proper selection, delegated such a thorough course of inquiry as might re lieve their mind* from all doubt.' The - schools were visited, > and many ralnable suggestions derived from their examination. The Commit tee uckuowledge their obligations to the Profes sors of the Cumbridge aud Columbia College Law Schools for many kindnesses exteuded to wards them in aid of their underiakiug. After a careful exercise of the discretion with which this Board rested the Legal {Counsellors in the selection of proper perauus, uyou whom should 'devolre the initiatory work to be per formed in opening the school, the Coinm 'tee boa fixed upon Professor Ht»nrv Booth—recent ly of the State and Xational Law School of tho State or New York—as the principal and head j of the school, with whom ibey recommend to be ! associated Hon. John M. Wilson and Hon. 1 Grant Good ieh. Judges of the Superior Court ! of Chicago, who have kiodly consented to aid ! him in tlie work of instruction, until such time j as the progress and success of the school may warrant toe employment of permanent profes sors, to constitute a full Law Faculty ot three Professors for this Department. With regard to Judges John M Wilson and Grant Goodrich, your Committee di-em it en tirely unnecessary to say anything, because ' tbeir reputations as accomplished, able and . learned jurists •* too well established in tbe State, and so well known throughout the North- : wesi, that the, bare mention of their names is the best commendation upon tbe selection which has been made. In regard to Professor Henry Booth, the Committee arc more and more'assured from every circumstance connected with that select -1 tion, that they have been most fortunate in their choice, and that time aod occasion consid j ered with the advantages of his experience as a 1 teacher in law school*, they hare, in ibis in stance, succeed iu bringing the "right man to the right place.'!. . The name of Mr. Booth has not that ring to the carwhichltbe ylitterof some reputations might produce. But as a compensation for its want, the Committee have relied- upon the 'sounder metal of his well known worth, wbich, more substautlal than showy, exhibits iu its use and wear the ,capac:ty of accomplishing what ; we desire-fort the Institution by its solid and : time-enduring.succesH. - Yet let it not be understood from this that Mr. Booth eornes without rt-pu atico established or competency widely knowu as an able jurist, "and e>p«cia!ly as « successful aud experienced . teacher. ' lie is well known to Professors of the Instituliou as a distinguished graduate of Yale College.. Since his admission to. the Bar he has become distinguished in the State of Xew York as a lawyer ot | great learning, fine attainments las a general pcbolar, great purity of life and character, aod upon inquiry among tbe mem bers of the Faculties of otter Law Schools of the Committee found bis reputa tiou established as one of the most successful instructors in teaching the principles of Juris prudence to youth, who had ever entered that difficult field of labor. The committee have seen some members of the bar whose , good fortune it seems to bare been, to have graduated at the State and Nation al scaool and found il-tir commendations uni versal and. enthusiastic. Upon all sides bis saperiority over others in respect to teaching law to other* is conceded. To earnestness of fturpose be unites great warmth of attachment or his professkm as apparcot in itself, found 10 "be! ever a gnarantee of success. Consctons of his ability, his unpretentious manner secures him the confidence of all who possess bis ac quaiutonce; with a reputation established at home he is inspired by tne ambition to extend that reputation upon a wider field, nnder West ern auspices, where, asjs the case with nearly all educational enterprizes, the work be seeks to accomplish is just emerging into the dawn of a first existenqe, but, never beless, with all tbe promise of a splendid noon-day.' With every" element of success and none of failure,' with ni>' inordinate aed great"ternpcraDcw' of desire, his industry and derotloa insure him against the consequences of-disaster,-which, overtaking others, in frsr of lusing character or reputation attained,'would totally overwhelm them beyond the hope of recovery, find with them perhaps sink in tbeir failure forever the whole organization of the school, to establish which snch pains have been taken. - -With 'sucn a ehoice' and Professor as Mr. Booth, your Committee have no doubt that the Board of thf Law School have secured a success in this Department which promises all we hod boped from it,; beyond even the xno*t sanguine M|Pt6tttMm& i rtf/kmmt Bc«tk ka» prepared tbe circular Axing tbe epeelng of the school on the Slit day rfSmiembernexJ.it whlciiflmt Um, £toa.D>- :THlfa!l»y Field, of.

They cannot, however, close this report without pay ing a well merited tribute of thinks to the gen i tlemen of the Board of Counsellors of the Law 1 School. With a rare devotion to the object which yoa have in view, in making the selection they have applied themselves to secure the means of suc cess with a singleness of pnrpose which Cannot fail to produce its fruits. A large number of these gentlemen, being of independent fortune; and nearly all of them re moved from the active practice of the bar; ther are now happily exempt from all possible feel-' ing of interest "or Jealousy which some times operate to bias or coerse the judgements. Distinguished also for the eminence wh.ch they - have sit reached in their profession than long residence in the city, and the high characters which they have always bo rue as citizens, the' University has shown its wisdom in wholefer concerns the success of a school, in which, as lawyers they must feel the greatest personal interest. The course of instruction in the school will embrace the various branches of the Common Law and of Equity, Admiralty, Commercial, In* ternatioual aud Constitutional Law—and the Jurisprudence of the United States, and the' three Professors, Henry Booth, John M.

Hotxe, » ~ _ Walter B. SCATS*, f .* Tsn Qxxbt JraPERTz cask cc Extesso.—Tbe decision of Uie Supreme Court at Ottawa in the Henry Jumpertz case, has at length reached this ciiy. It is a voluminous document, and of course comes much too late to be news to to any of our readers. On looking it over we find we hare already given the grounds upon jvbich ibo new trial was granted, except that possibly. less than the real 'amount of stress was, in our abstract, laid upon that part of the decision pertaining to the condnct of the jury while in charge of the officers. Indeed uo other ground urged, it is stated, would have been sufficient to vitiate the late verdict bad jury been held within due and required bounds. From this if would appear how easy iu any case the Sheriff's officers may defeat the bench, and either by ignorance or intent bring to naught proceedings of an expensive aud tedious na ture. We quote from the decision itself on this point: In the case before us, foor of the jurors, upon six didcrent occasions, separated from their fellows, and out of the presence and bem ing of any otlicer of the court, were permitted to bold intercourse with strangers to the court and the cause ou trial; and there is no pretence that the court authorized or was priry to more than oueof these separations, aud it does not ap pear. nor ure we to presume, that the court authorized the juror to hold intercourse with others out of the pnweiiee or hearing of uu of ficer of the court.

Originally the name of a Parisian uwdltU—one Madame Crisnltne. wbo kept a set of i]n-s«mak» ing rooms iu the lCuc de a Paix—it evidently came into use, to denote the article tno»t iu re puteat her e>tabhsmeut. She it was who, by the intention of horse hair woven into a sort nf cloth, and manufactured into petticoats, enabled the fair sex to dispense with the clumsy abomi nation which always placed them, if not in a headlong hurry, certainly in—a b'ttiU, ' The uame of the petticoat wus given from that of the inventor, as luu frequently happened; the Crintd'"*. the petticoat, was derived from Crino line, the dress-maker. liia believed tnai Crinoline first came Into fashion beneath the auspicies of the Empress Eu/entc. As the fair SpaaU rd did tint become a m'e until the begiuing of 1>33, and as Criuo line was iu vogue, in bngtaud, as far back us 1537, this chronology is erruoeous. Lately looking over a set of Cruikshuuk's Comic Alma nack, which makes esrngh of fun to keep a household iu smiles for ever, we met withaneo graving, (dated 1?~7, wc think,) which repre .seated a lady with exaggerated dress, tbe. flouoces of which were in The act of being air blown by \ivt in order to give th.-m an adequate amount of enormous expansion. Such h»cps as females now wear may ha of mure r«- ceut invention, but the exoneration of circnm ! ference. by means of Uio crinoline, cannot be less than a* score years old. Nothing is more absurd, in female attire, than the want of conunou sensemadapting apurticu lar fashion. Thus, the prtt'y Spanbb now so frvqneotly seen, uru m«»»t. indiscriminately worn—wherea", they are adapted only foryonng tieople— for lasses in thoir teens, for example. Vet we &«e thtm worn by nil ages t and more particularly affected by Old Maidism, which should ra« her conceal the fuco by & cUh*» bonnet and veil, tbau exhibit it by the Spanish l»at. In like manner a particular color gets in roge, and the fair sex make a rush for it—as if it were a law of nature that the *tme thin<j most become every person wbo wears it. - If a ladv has a fine complexion, and knows any thine of the esthetics of dr*s« (and practice makes the sex philosophers in this,) will not kill the bloom damaak of her cheeks by wearing a red ••own or red ribbou*. A brunette will wear ytrllow if she wants tn make a hann«>uious con tract between her skin and her dress. A pure, fresh complexion will be »et off by white or lisht-tinted attire. A blond is always bemminu a blue, while n bruurtte willcarelully avoid it. But, how often do women forget what becomes them, and, siinoly b<H*uuse ir i« the fa-bion of tiie mom- nt, mtopt a color ora material which di>cs not suit thi-m 7 Kx-'tion is nut w> to d«»ffiand this. Fashion is not tvranuic, though she nu«y be Fashion d-M?s not countenance middle aged sj» ; ii!»t«ra cutting abont in Spanish hats, itieant on*y for in thtir teeus. And so. Fashion never intended that stout and abort women should be exactly as much hooped and crinolined as those of toll »tat ure and cood figure. For example the Empress Eugeme. who is tall and graceful, may wear boo|t<>, as she does, withoutbeinif much'dMuuredby them: latter ly, it is soiti, she ban greatly abated their cir cumference. Hut Queen Victoria, who is round faced and rotond, commUtsa great mistake it* wearing as mnch bi>op n>her Imperial, aud fair er, and voauger sister of France. \Mi»t be comes one makes the other dnuipy. Tbi<« stnh«.r -ism, be it observed, may be applied to all ladies of equal btaturv and >ue. Nothing loo's# mon» ludicrous than a little woman latterly extended by an exec?? of hoop-*. .... Sairacious people who cave lived longbrfon* the present geueralion was thought «»f, arv f.»nd of tracing back the antiquity of the hoop to the time ufXJeorge the Turd, when u formed iiart of the Court a»*tnm*% an 'l e l en I , to l '. ,r prcceediug retgti, describttl by Yielding, in ** Tom Joues** and " Amelia/* .t was part of tbeordinsry dress of foshionnble i«."'k>. Uui antiquity of the hoop is greater JcC tbau this. Exactly one hundred and fifty years ago, Addison commented, in T->* Viltl'r, on the enormeties of th» hoop, declaring that to wear it was almost a lib«l on virtuons females, and bo w B 4 » vory much disposed to be ofiendeil with such a new and unaccountable fashion." Subsequently, in Tht UptcUtor. be was wittv as well u satirical on the new fashion. We noticed the extenuating remark, often made hi the present time, that U* expanded garnients were very airy, and therefo.*? on»per furthe Summer season, and finally arrived at *h«concl«ision that his own sex had of Uto years been very »auc> and that the hoop petticoat tvaa made ujr*of to ketp them at a distance. ** A female wbo r* thus invested iu *»halebom%" be says, M is sufficiently secured against the approaches of an ill-bred fellow, wbo might as well think of Sir George Etheridge's way of making Uive in a tub as in tbe inidat of oo many Antici pating what lias been repeatedlv said in the>e latter times. Addison adds, " this fash ion get among the ordinary people, ourpnb!ic ways would be so.crowdcii that we should want street room." Does not Crinoline, atthisdar, drive us into a corner everywhere? Iu the ball-' room, on the promenade, in raitroad-cara and orauibusscs, bi churches and theatres,. at all places aud at all times does Uut Crinoline over power us? Does it u<»t crush ns off the pave ment and crush us in the cars? Every where it occupies twice and thrice the space its wear ers arc legitimately entitled to, and it is most uujust to tbe male spet'ios that the other ' sex aro not charged for the space they oc- CU £iierc is life iu Addisjn's concluding remark, " It is rec«»rder of Alexander the Great, that in his Indian expedition be buried wveral of armor, which by his directionsweremade mufb too big for any of his soldiers, hi order to givn posterity an extraordinary idei of him, 32 d utadeth'em believe he hud command of uu army of giauis.

The latest Fashions* bulletin of I'aris, which exhibits and describes the mod-* for Julv, announces two facts highly tuiemrsting to the female porti.-u of society.

It is lie"* tuat»ifevation against tL»* double skirt" which ha< already suLitiiuted flounces, of which three or foor arc to be worn —but not above the knec. Indeed, Eugenic seems inclined : to bring back the tl-malc ioah-' ions of tbe early part of th-i first Empire, when Josephine was the autocrat of dress, aud roftore tbe tunre t • its natural *hape.'
