It will be a standing volume of reference in every man's library, however small. We have no reason to doubt that it has been executed with skill, diligence and accuracy, and the specimen before us is printed and bound in a neat style. We believe the edition authorized by law is fifteeu hundred copies, to be delivered to the Secretary of State for distribution-one copy to every member of the Legislature, one to every general State officer, one to every judge, clerk, sheriff, recorder and justice of the peace in the State, and five hundred to be reserved for the use of the State, the remainder to be sold.

William Stettler, recently convicted in Philadelphia of counterfeiting, has been a granted a new trial by Judge Kane. It will be remembered he was found guilty on the evidence of an accomplice, who was convicted in Baltimore, but subsequently pardoned by the President. Judge Kane has decided that the pardon, to be valid, must show that the President knew all the facts of the case, offence, the turpitude of the offender, and the punishment.
In this case the pardon was erroneous in its recital of these facts, and was therefore void. On the 22d alt. achild aged five years, son of Mr. Lawrence M.

A message was read from the Mayor, in which he stated that he had adjudicated certain contracts ordered by the Council, which we notice elsewhere.

Mr. Pecquet said that a recent law of the Legislature makes null all the contracts ordered by the municipal councils until approved by the Common Council of the city under the new charter, and he saw DO utility in acting on the matter.

The plaintiffs enjoined in this suit the sale under execution of five thousand shares of the capital stock of the Commercial Bank of New Orleans belonging to the city, which had been seized by the creditors of the city Judge Preston, who was the organ of the court in this case, holda the following language: In fact, the stock is inalienable by city, and therefore should not be subject to sale for the payment of its debta And again, we will repeat what we have frequently said, that no part of the property, or rights of the city, can be seized and sold but that which is in commerce, by having no special legal The legal arrangementa for supplying the city with water, the court held, like taxes, municipal halls, were destined by law to enable the political corporation of the city to exercise the sovereign power confided to it by the Legislature, and like other public property of similar character and destination could not be seized and sold for its debts.

THIRD DISTRICT B.
Kennedy.In the case of Patman vs. Wright, Williams the trial of which we reported, Judge Kennedy yesterday rendered the following decision The transaction between the plaintiff and the individual calling himself Williams, was a cash transaction. Neither the property nor the possession of the cotton was intended to be passed to the latter before payment of the price agreed upon. The possession which he obtained by means of the forged notes was a possession obtained not by a mere fraud, but by a felony under the statute of Arkansas. He, therefore, acquired no property in the cotton, and could, under the circ*mstances, convey none even to an innocent purchaser.
L. R. 586, and the cases there Moreover, the statutes referred to, makes the offence committed by Williams larceny, and the no general statues from concerning the larceny provides expressly that title shall pay thief to an innocent purchaser.

Plaintiff soon eircovered that the bills received by him were forged, and brought this action againat defendanta to recover the price of the cot ton.

Fellow- Citizens You will be called upon in a few days to cast your votes for city officers under the new charter which has been given us by the Legislature, under the belief that it will get us out of the mire in which we are sunk at present.
And so it will. if we act wisely. But I am sorry to see that party spirit is again at work, and that both Whigs and Democrats are beginning to select their respective candidates. Party spirit has been the curse of this city, for the question at elections is not "Is he the most honest, the most capable aud but is he the most available, i. is he a popular candidate.
Now, you all know what popularity means in New Orleans. He who can afford to pay for the most grog, himself swill a large dose, frequent tipling houses, hail fellow well-met with every body, he is sure to be elected. I ask you, fellow-citizens. what has been the consequence of all this? What has become of the millions we have paid annually for SO many years back? What of the large sinking fund of the city: What of the money invested in the Nashville Railroad? might extend these questions to a great many other things. but every resident of twenty years can calt them to mind The answer to all is: Squandered and robbed by a parcel of unprincipled, iguorant on self interested individuals." The only remedy for these evils is to drop party spirit, for what has the election of Fillmore or Case, Douglas or Web ster to do with the cleaning of our streets, or the state of our city finances? If you want to employ a confidential clerk, or if you want to lend your money, do you inquire whether the person be a Whig or Democrat? Don't you rather in quire into bis honesty, his capacity and frugality? Why not do the same thing with those that will have the manage ment of millions of your money and the protection of your selves and yonr property? Large sums of money will have to be raised not only for our current expenses and the payment of our immense city debt, but also for projected railroads.
Now, as regards the latter, a great many of our wealtby inhabitants, on whom, of course, the tax will fall heaviest, cry out bitterly against it. and when you tell them that in the end they will be the largest gainers by it, they answer, Yes; if we knew that the money world go into and be administered by proper hands, but past experience has shown that this is hardly ever the ask you, fellow tax payers, are they not right? I believe, then, there is but one cure for these evils, and my humble advice is, that you meet together, without dis tinction of party, Democrats as well as Whigs, and form a mixed ticket of the best men that can be bad in this city and my word for it, such a ticket will beat all others. you do not take this step, and that soon, the tickets of both parties will be still broken up by a great many votes, without, after all, giving us such officers as every well-wisher of our city should like to see. My next advice would be to torm your ticket neither entirely of old men, nor of young men. By the first, I mean men of fifty and upwards; by the other, men from twenty five to thirty--to have some of beth.
The experience of the one will temper the will go edness of the other, and the energy of the last stimulate the of the first. Be up and doing, for there is no time to spare. An Old Inhabitant Tax Puyer. Arrivals at the Principal Hotels 8. ST.

The U.S. Mail steamship Falcon, Lieut. Henry Rodgers, U.S. commanding, arrived at this port gesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, from New York the 21st ult. and Havana the 6th inst.
She brings the Havana mails and eleven passengers. The papers are filled with accounts of the festivals and rejoicings in different parts of the island at the birth of the young Princess of the Asturias, heiress to the Spanish crown. The Diario de la. Marina of the 4th inst. contains a long account, taken from the Madrid papers, of the attempted assassination of the Queen and execution of the would-be regicide.
The Captain General has established a bathing house at San Diego for the gratuitous use of the poor, who are to be conveyed thither from all parts of the island free of expense. The bodies of those persons who fell at Cardenas, in May, 1850, during the attack of that place by Lopez, are to be disinterred and placed in monument to be erected in the castle of San Carlos de la Cabana. A magnificent cane, set with precious stones, and appropriately inscribed, was presented Gen. Concha by the members of the royal Junta de Fomento, in token of the distinguished services rendered to the Island of Cuba by that officer during the Lopez invasion. The subscriptions for the relief of the wounded and families of the killed in the late invasion, were still going on throughout the island.
slight but very perceptible touch of an quake was recently felt in Trinidad de Cuba. The citizens Havana were anxiously expecting the arrival of Parodi and Ole Bull. The U.S. sloop of war Albany left Havana for Pensacola the day the Falcon sailed. The U.
S. Mail steamship Georgia left New York on 24th of February with upwards of 650 passengers for Chagres, all of whom were transferred to the steamship Ohio, which left on the morning of the 2d inst. with over 1,000 passengers. The principal news of importance at Havana WAS the appointment by the Queen of the Conde Mirasol as Governor General of Cuba in place of La Concha, the present incumbent. The following is a list of the passengers by the W.

Correspondence of the WASHINGTON, March 1, 1852. Compromise resolutons were to-day introduced into the Honse by Mr. Fitch, of Indiana, bnt the question being on suspending the rules no twothirds vote could be obtained. Some thirty Democrats and many wise Whigs voted in the negative. There is a strange fatality attending all these efforts to pass these compromise resolutions either in the Senate or in the House or in Democratic caucus.
The difficulty lies in the want of management by which no concert of action is attained and no mutual faith created among the different wings and fractions of the party. This time Mr. Fitch, the mover of the resolution having profited by the experience of his col. leagues consulted the fire-eaters, and I am glad to say nearly all of them-always excepting those of South Carolina-came into the arrangement and voted for the suspension of the rules. Still the motion was well put.
The object of Mr. Fitch ought to bare been to bring his party straight up on the main question and to cut off all dodging. A direct vote on the resolution is the thing and which must be obtained, to decide who are the national men and who are against a national organization of parties. Mr. Fitch or any one else ought to have waited till regular resolution day, then obtained the floor ed the Speaker whether resolutions are in or.
der, and then when his State is named offer the compromise and move the previous question. If some member from Maine (the which is called first) will resolve on thus introducing a compromise resolution, bitter though the pill may be to some of the sectional politicians North and South, it would go down and we should at once get rid of a whole tribe of trading politicians. The people in all the States are right on the compromise, and it requires nothing but firmness on the part of a majority of Congress to embody the will of the people into a parliamentary form and give it the benefit of a public record. The Mormon insurrection looked upon as rather a serious matter; not that a handful of outlaws and desperadoes, stripped of all moral accountability, are not easily subdued, but because it in feared they will make common cause with the Indians and thus lead to considerable difficulties with the warlike tribes in Utah, Texas, New Mexico and Lower California. What a fine independent sovereign State Utah would have made had she been admitted as such into the Union.
This is the week during which the tariff" is to be concocted, and next week some kind of a resolution bearing on the subject will be introduced into the House. The main basis is to be this. all other iron at an increase of 10 per cent. ad varailroad iron is to come in free for five years, a and lorem, with home valuation. Success rather doubtful.
LE DIABLE BOITEUX. Later from Havana. The steamer Isabel, from Havana, arrived at Charleston on the 2d inst. She left Havana on the 29th ult. 'The steamship Empire City arrived at Havana on the 29th from New Orleans, as also the steamship Gen.
Concha, from New York ria Charleston. The Isabel left at Havana the U. S. sloop-ofwar Albany, and the barks Gen. Green and Susan, and the schooner Zephyr, all from Charleston.
There was nothing new in Havana. Some fears were entertaiued of another invasion, but they were not generally participated in. The Spanish brig arrived at Havana on the 27th alt. with the captain and crew of the brig Logan, from Boston, bound to Sagua La Grande, which was wrecked on the Island of Arguila on the 21st alt. The Havana market report of the 28th ult.
says the sugar crop is rather backward, and supplies do not come in very freely. There has been a steady demand for Spain and some inquiry for the United States. 8 A contract was made for 12,000 boxes at 31. 419, 54g and rials; 1,000 boxes whites made bounce DeRosne's process were taken at 9 rials, and parcels very superior at 10 rials. General quotation: whites 128 rials; yellows superior yellows rials; browns rials; Cucuruchos rials.
Only a sinall quantity of Muscovados has appeared at market. Some low and middling were Mold at 342 0 04 rials. The better descriptions are very Molasses scarce. continues firm at rials. The price in the outports is also rials The business in coffee is very insignificant and almost entirely confined to purchases for consumption in Havana.
Freights at Havana to the United States per box of sugar alongside for molasser. At Matanzas there has been, since the 13th nit. to the 29th, a more active demand in molasses. Sales at rials. Receipts of sugar remarkably light and prices well sustained, particularly for better class of yellows.
Whites 6a 8 rials; florete yellows rials; common yellows browns Coguchos 4 Muscovados for ordinary to good--no prime or choice in market. Coffee $9. Box shooks are dull at 7 rials, sixty days. The crop of sugar is likely to fall much short of the expectations. LATER FROM KEY Key West correspondent of the Savannah Republican, writing on the 29th says: The light-house at the Carysfort Reef has been completed, and will be lighted on the 10th March.
The light only temporary, owing to the law suit, which has been pending in reference to the apparatus in New York. three masted vessel is ashore this morning, twelve miles from this place, and in sight, on the Pelican shoal.

The bark has sailed for New York. The dry goods or dry cargo, stored and saved from ship Telamon, (previously reported,) have been attached and rescued, as the captain paid the $6,000.
