THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1859 Judge Bouvier. Twenty years ago there was published, In this city, a work of considerable magnitude and importance, the intrinsic value of which is evi denced by the recent appearance of a mina edition, revised, Improved, and greatly en larged. This work is entitled «A Law Dic tionary, adapted to the Constitution and Laws of the United States of Amerlca, and of the several States of the American Union; with re ferences to the Civil and other Systems of For eign Law." This book was written by the late John Bouvier, formerly Recorder of this city, when the recordershlp was a judicial office, filled by a person fully acquainted with the law—and subsequently an Associate Judge of the Court of Criminal Sessions. The leading jurists of the United States,- Chancellor Kent and Judge Story, with Bald win, Greenleaf, and Randall—awarded the tribute of their hill approbation to Mr. Bou vier on the appearance of this work. It has since received the (( endorsement " of emi nent jurists who. (‘ still live "—of Taney and McLean, of Curtis and Nelson; of Talfourd, in England, where many hundred copies are annually sold ; and of Professors Dwight, Dutton, Dean, Parsons, &c., who, in various Universities, have heartilypecommended it to the students they instruct as thoroughly relia ble, learned, and convenient. Indeed, as a di gest of law, illustrated by the most recent ca ses, and as giving terse and full explanations of law terms and phrases, with information as to the diversities of legal enactments in different States, there never has been even an attempt to equal this standard work. That such is the opinion of the profession is shown by its vast circulation. Many thousand copies have been disposed of, and the annual per contage paid for this work and his (‘ Insti tutes " by the publishers to the representa tives of the author have averaged $6,000 per annum, almost from the first. Of the new edition, 'just published, we have only to say that it keeps up with the thee—or, rather, with the latest decisions in the law courts. We desire to say a few words of the author. John Bouvier, born at Codognan, in the South of France, in 1787, died in Philadelphia in November, 1861, in his sixty-fourth year. His parents, also French, wore members of the Society of Friends, of whom there was a small congregation, in the village of Congo. nice, (Department du Gard,) which was his mother's birth-place, His father, one of the principal inhabitants of Codognan, was a man of substance—some of which he lost by the vicissitudes of business, and more by the deterioration of pro. perty during the French Revolution. The unsettled condition of Fiance, and the In tolerance towards his religious opinions, de termined him to seek a home in the United States,. where ho understood that civil and re: ligiona liberty was fully enjoyed, and where in dustry, probity, and enterprise were certain of finding their suitable rewards. Accordingly, accompanied by his wife and two eons, M. Bouvier bade farewell to France, and reached Philadelphiabarly in September, 1802. At this time John Boutin, the son, was fifteen years old. With few previous acquaintances in this city, and even fewer letters of introduction, this emigrant family had arrived at a most un fortunate period. Not alone that none of the four could speak English, but that the yellow fever was then awfully raging. Arriving on Sunday morning, they attended a meeting of the 'Society of Friends on that very day—the meeting-house at the southwest corner of Del aware.second and Market street, the same on rOlwah.:l l9 4 taken his a n d nap in Philadelphia, seventy-nine years Dome. Their appearance, in French provincial cos. tome, excited no small surprise. They were recognised by persons to whom, In France, some years before, they had showq attention and hospitality, and a wealthy merchant named James took them home to dinner. M. Bou vier and his wife wore entertained at Mr. James's house, until the former got employ tnent. On that first day, a Mr. Benjamin John son, (foreman of the now eminent publishing holm of J. B. Lippincott & C 0.,) visited and recognised them. Some years before, when ill in the South of Franco, ho had been treated with great kindness by Madame Bouvieeti mother and some other relatives. Ho was gratellti, and invited John Bouvier and his brother to his house in Market street, where ho kept a bookstore. Thus, Indeed, was ful filled the Scripture: "Cast thy bread upon the waters and thou shalt find it after many days." gs His house," wrote Judge Bouvier, a long time after, "I never left until I was twenty-one years of ago." Tho elder Bouvier died of yellow fever, at Frankford, a year after he landed. His widow was taken care of by John Bouvier until she returned to Franco, several years later, and the younger aon,while he lived, was treated with like affection, by him. In 1808, when John Bouvier had completed his 21st year, being then fully muster of the art of printing, which ho had learned under Mr. Johnson, be was supplied by him, and other Friends, with the means of entering into busi ness for himself. By this time, he was hap. pity married. In 1812, ho became a naturalized citizen of the United States, and still carried on his business, In 1814, ho removed to Brownsville, on the Monongahela river, where ho commenced a weekly journal called The American Tele graph, taking the legend " Justice, Law, and Liberty " for its motto, and conscientiously acting up to it. By this time, ho had become familiar with the language able adopted country, but was not so. Volt acquainted with the treasures of its literature. Ho had a taste for study, how ever, and now cultivated it. His ambition was to study law, but was deterred by the be lief that a collegiate education was absolutely requiaite. Having accidentally discovered that he could become a lawyer without graduating at a University, Mr. Bouvier made up Eris mind, and commenced the study of the law, under the Hon. Andrew Stewart, of Uniontown. He had, at the same time, to continuo his labor in the printing office and at the editorial desk—at case and with his pen— to maintain himself. Ile studied at night, and one of his self.imposed tasks, at that period, was to make a complete analysis of Black stone's Commentaries, which his Runny still preserve. Mr. Bouvier was admitted to prac tice in the Court of Common Pleas of Fayette county, Pennsylvania, on December 11, 1818, and his examiners, to whom he showed his analysis of Blackstone, expressed themselves highly satisfied with that proof of his mental capacity. At this time he was In his thirty second year. Having removed to Uniontown some months previously, Mr. Bouvier Incorporated The American Telegraph with another local jour nal, and successfully continued the publication until July, 1820, when the increasing claims of hie new profession compelled him to abanden the editorial pen. In September, 1832, he was admitted as an attorney of the Supremo Court of Pennsylvania, and removed to Phila delphia, in 1823, where he continued to reside until his death. His legal practice steadily ad vanced, and his legal reputation kept pace with ! R. From January, 1836, until March, 1888, Mr. Bouvier was Recorder of Philadelphia, on appointment by Governor Rltner, who, when ho resigned the office, commissioned him as Associate Judge of the Court of Criminal Ses sions in this city, which office he continued to hold until that court was abolished. While in practice as a lawyer, Mr. Bouvier was noted for Ills desire to keep parties out of the suspense and expense of litigation, if they could possibly be avoided. On the bomb ho was calls, patient, just. .ital humane. His charges to juries uere clear and concise. He never had a taste or tendency for garrulity, and it/sever could be said of him that he at tempted to dictate to a jury what verdict they should give, on a threat that, if they did not follow his opinion, he should certainly over rule their decision, In a subsequent course of procedure. It Is as a writer that judge Bouvier will bo known in after days. In 1889, ho published his Law Dictionary, containing the results of many years' research, thought, anti practice. He was constantly improving it for the remain der of his life, and will be the best monument to his ability, industry, and judgment. •lle was engaged In 1841 to prepareior the press a new edition of c , Picon's Abridgment," in ten large volumes—one of which was edited by the late Judge Randall, part of another by Mr. Robert E. Peterson, Judge Bouvier's son-in-law, and the remainder by Judge Bouvier himself, who expended upon it the labor of four years. Finally, in 1831, only two months before his death, he gave to the world, In four large vo lumes, his "Institutes of' American Law," which may be said to cover tho same ground as Biackatone's Commentaries do in England. The universal voice of the profession, the bench as well as the bar, has declared this great work to bo an invaluable addition to the forensic literature of this country. Dia early education had been somewhat neglected, but Mr. Bouvier made up by con stant study, from the time when he commenc ed business on his own account, for this defi ciency. Several years' practice as newspaper editor had given him a facility in writing, and ho always expressed with propriety what his mind had matured with thought. His style was elmplo and exact, and conveyed precisely the idea ho had to communicate, or the fact he had to mention. He was tireless in labor. No amount of work could exhaust his mind. Ile who had landed in Philadelphia, a lad of fifteen, knowing the French language alone, had ac quired a familiar knowledge of English, Latin, and Spanish language and literature, long be fore ho had reached middle life. Ho loved books, and had accumulated ono of the largest and most complete private libraries in America—particularly rich in le gal literature, but also containing a largo num tier of the best works in the department of the belles Wires. The analytic turn of his mind, loading him to philological researches into the derivation of words, will account for his having an unusually large number of dic tionaries in his library. On some few occasions, ho may ho said, like Blackstone, to whom his mind pettily assimilated, to have flirted with the Muses. At all events, his Jew poetical efforts which have been preserved show that he had a true feeling for the art, and might successfully have pursued its cultivation. Judge Bouvier encouraged tho study of literature by young people ; and his humanity led him to place Instructive books in the hands of, prisoners whom it had been his duty to sentence. In some eases, much good re sulted from this process. He supported, with zealous anxiety, the nu merous philanthropic institutions of this city. In aid of the cause of Temperance, he gave his example and precept, with the assistance of his purse and pen. MB personal appearance was greatly in his fa favor, and his conversation is said to have been fascinating—as much from its quiet grace of manner as from the varied information which ho was used to communicate, no matter what tiro subject might be. A widow and daughter snrvivo to mourn his loss, and to remember, with no ordinary satis faction, that of him it might truly bo said that ho was Oood without effort, great without a foe." Judge Bouvier's daughter is well known In the scientific and literary world as author of a work in which great observation and vast knowledge are combined. This is her Fa miliar Astronomy ; or, an Introduction to the Study of the Heavens," illustrated by Celes tial Mapasind„gparnals_nt 2po_finely-executed engravings; to wmcn is satins ie. TaraMows—vli the Globes, and a Comprehensive Astronomi cal Dictionary." This admirable work, which is adapted for the private library as well as for use in schools, families, and by private stu dents, has obtained the warmest eulogia from the leading astronomers of Great Britain and the United States. It has pasted through several editions. The same analytic research and irrepressible desire for strong mental la bor which wore Judge Bouvier's prominent characteristics aro no less those of his daugh ter. Notices of New Books. Mr. Richardson, of Now Yr rk, publisher of Smith's Hisfortrni Magazine , bas at length brought out the new volume of " American Historical and Literary Curiosities." This constitutes the second series, and is complete of itself. Indeed, the pre views volume has long been out of print, and when a copy does find its way into the rale-room, it brings thrice the original price. Mr. .1. Jay Smith, so long identified with the Philadelphia Library, (its custodian for many years,) did good survioo to the publio by his first work. The pre• sent is not less valuable. It contains numerous original memorials of the Revolution—pictorial, autographic, and printed. It abounds In portraits and fee-similes of letters hitherto unpublished. It has abundance of Interesting relies of Wash ington and the great men of his era, and there are many relics of Major Andre. We have fee-similes of two world-famous songs, " The Star• Spangled Banner," and "home, Sweet Home," with a va riety of other curiosities, personal and political, literary and historical. Above all, there are some remarkably curious engravings relative to the Voyages of Columbus, several from Da Bry's Voyages, and four pictures taken, in fee. simile, from the raririmut Tiber of nine pngce printed by Columbus himself, (and now in the Library of Milan,) which conveyed to Europe the first authentic information of his journoyinga and discoveries. Thorn is also a piature Mowing Columbus on the deok of his vessel, with an astrolobe in his hand. Wo can only say that any thing like a full de scription of the treasures of this volume would occupy three or four columns of this paper. Open where you may, there is something to gratify the eye and the mind—something Instructive and auggealive—something. in fact, which allows bow marching and sutioasful have been Mr. Jay Smith's inquiries into the teeming Past. The first series was published in 184 i, and its popularity has been groat. Only a limited number of the present edition is published, which we mention for the Infor mation of Collectors. Mr. T. II Mudge, 114 South oth street, is the agent for this pity, and, we pre sume, can show the book to purposing sulmoribera. We have to add that the work has been wholly got up and printed In this city, under Mr. Smith's eye. The execution is very excellent throughout. Disurrtom BENTIMENT.—The Baltimore Amen can soya; " During the past week, there has been an ex tensive g rowth of disunion sentiment among the people o fJefferson county, and the avowal of opinions averse to a dissolution of the Union was almost regarded as treason to the Common- wealth A better feeling, however, now prevaili, and the oppressive reserve which weighed down the entire community, has given way to a freedom of sentliwn that Is quite refreshing, and the street " pow include even a combatting of the otitiment. A person, nb^ undo'. took to experiment, came out with flying milers, of which the following version is given by ono of the Northern correapondetts: Ms opponents in the discussion had declared themselves in fa. vor of an immediate secession, and in favor of them compelling the North, by force of arms, to return fugitive slaves. They admit ted that there would then be much danger of their slaves running away, because the fugl live-slave act would be no longer operative; and the only way to remedy that was to declare war against the North, if slaves were not returned. But this menace was met by the suggestion that while the freemen of the South would be engaged in these hostilities, the staves, being under no re straint, would avail themselves of the absence of their masters at the wars, to gain their freedom. This was en unanswerable argument. There was no disputing the reasoning, Besides, if the refusal to surrender slaves were a SUMOiOnt Pause of war, why did not the United States now declare war against England for harboring the five millions' worth of slaves that annually make their way to Canada? For himself, he owned ten thousand dol lars in slaves, and boasted of being as devoted a Southern man as stood in shoe-leather; but he would rather surrender his property than that this glorious Union should be disturbed."

My Dr.kß Pates : As an example of the reek leuneu in regard to human life, which has fallen under our own observation during ourshort stay in this place, I would mention the following incident: One day this week a friend was standing near the door of one of the stores upon the male street al most directly opposite the Court House, when the court was in senion. It was in broad day• light, just after dinner, and he was engaged peace ably in conversation with two merchants of the place, when they abruptly bolted from him and ran into the store. Looking round to Clad some canoe fir this redden movement on their part. he saw, about twenty yards off down the street, a man who was an utter stranger to all parties, standing with a long Colt's six-shooter levelled directly at him. Without stopping for further observations, my friend followed the coarse of the two merchants and sought quick refuge in the store Just as he got to the door, he heard the man with the pistol break out Into aloud laugh and exclaim, "Bee how those fellows run." The man had been drinking, and would have thought no more of discharging his pistol into the group who were conversing, than into a tree or any other harmleu object. The feet that human life might have been saceifieed would have given him no 'Janata. To the credit of the town, however, it should be said that the town mar. ehel was not long In finding his way to the spot, and compelling the individual to put up his pistol, and restrain his shooting propensities; but he was not arrested. It would be unjust to Intimate or suppose that such Rations are approved or countenanced by the respectable part of the community, or that they are characteristle of the general conduct of the in habitants. And yet tech incidents one is constant ly liable to meet with. Much is undoeirtedly to be attributed, in attempting to account for their co• entrance, to the very great prevalence of the habit of carrying deadly weapons. The display of arms upon the person attract, no attention, and szeites no remark, unless from 'Dangers. In travelling they are almost universally carried, and some ne cessity for It may then well be supposed. But in the ordinary course of life, in towns and Tillagee, the necessity, if any exists, must arise out of a wrong state of society. We were informed, and have no doubt of the correctness of the informa tion, that the practice of carrying arms constantly and habitually was not common among the better and more substantial class of citizens of this place. If a gentleman had got into any dimculty, and ap prehended an attack upon him, he would carry arms as long as there was reason for apprehension. This being court time, and many persons, in conse quence, being in town from other parts of the county in attendance upon watt, some for one or two days, or longer, and some for only a day perhaps, generally travelling on horseback and oftentimes obliged to be out at night, pap tog over lonely and unfrequented roads, perhaps a greater number of instances of openly carrying arms fell under our notice than would have been the ease In ordinary times. Thalia persons would carry arms in travelliug, and probably retain them upon their persons while remaining in town, quite ea much as a matter of convenience as for any other reason. Besides this, the attendance of so many persons having business in court, naturally attracts the presence of many !petting characters, who hope to find a profitable field for the exercise of their skill in gaming; and these gentlemen are habitually armed. A larger proportion than usual of this class hove favored the town with their presence, b.ilog driven hither by the fever from Houston, and the other towns where Rhea prevailed. Bowls helves are gener.aly carried, either Jur': inside the waistband, bung from the suspender bottom on the left side in front, or at the back on the right side, outside of the pantaloons, by a strap which passes round the waist. Derringer pistols are car ried in the pantaloons pockets. Revolvers, or re peaters, as they are often milled here, are tome times carried in the same position as mentioned for knives, or, not unfroquenily, in ,sheath suspended et the left side in front, by a belt. The smaller kind are sometimes tarried Ist the pantaloons packet, like the Derringers, or in a coat pocket. The fancy and habit of the individual leads to a diversity of opinion as to the moot convenient place for tarrying arms, In order to have them readily aocesnible, as well as to the most desirable kind of weapon. But, notwithstanding the disadvantages of a comparatively new country, and the peenliae 41111. cultists which have attended the settlement and growth of Texas, and the presence of many things which perhaps strike the noticed Wangs= with ees., - znidtdi, .60.46., 4/11...•41 AMA doubtadly meek to be said in favor of Tezu. It must not be supposed that there are no advantages to offset against what may have been stated to her disadvantage. Older settled States hays their faults and defects ; and large cities, and even quiet country places are not free from vice and crime. There are many, very many, worthy and Mims. hie people to be met with—people of intelligence, of education, of sound moral and religion" views, and of refinement. It Is a noteworthy feet, and gives high ground for encouragement aa to the future generations of Texas, that not a few educational institutions of a higher class have been established and are maintained in a flourishing condition, and that a large proportion of thesee-ell, Indeed, which we have met with or beard of—have been established by the efforts of some of the great evan gelical denominations of Christians. The ins true t. ore are men who have the confidence of the com munity ; the institutions are well patronised, and white in none of them le it the design to snake the instruction seater tan in its tone, yet in all a wand religious influence is meant to be faithfully exer cised. The people understand and appreeiate the benefits of education, and of the Institutions of religion. Their own mode of life, in many oases rough and wanting in what would be considered necessaries, not to speak of the comforts and 000 - ven I enoes of living, naturally exerts an influence upon their feelings and views in reference to the form and order, and mode of conducting all their social and public intercourse and relations. But in comparison with their means, and the urgent demands for the employment of the profits of their business in increasing end extending their opera. lions either in agriculture or trade, they are sot illiberal in contributing to objects of benevolence and charity, and to the support of education and religion. There is in this town no educational institution of the higher class, bat there Is no immediate occa sion for it.. At Independence, some fifty or sixteen miles northeast of Brenham, is the Baylor fatl stitute; and at Chapel Hill, seven or eight miles to tho eastward, is an Academy, or High School, under the supervision of the Methodists. The Ma sons of Brenham, with great liberality, some time since purchased a building to be used as a school house, and at the "Masonic Academy," as it is called, a good common education may be obtained. It is not a free school, bat the Masonic Order take care that none of the children or orphans of the brethren are deprived, by want of moans, of an opportunity of participating in the benefits of the school, and a committee of the lodge visit it regu larly. Its advantages, beside, are open to all who can pay the tuition fees. There is also another day-school, held in a building which is sometimes used for an Episcopal church. The Baptists and Methodists each hare a nest church, built of red cedar within and without, and services are held pretty regularly in each. The Old School Presbyterian' have occasional services here, though there IS no settled pastor or regularly organized church of that denomination. They are permitted, with great liberality and cordiality, to occupy And use the church buildings of the other denominations. The Presbyterian ministers who preach hares regular charges in the neighboring towns. Last Sunday, the only preaching was by Probyterien ministers.. The Methodist church was c:osod, and the services were held in the Bap tist church. In the morning , the Rev. Mr. Meßes, of Cbapc.l Ri ll , preached. I know riot what sent, of his ministerial brethren firths: North would soy to Lis gray moustache, but it certol"ly, to °vs eyes, detracted nothing from the dignity of his ap pearance; nor did it interfere in the leant with his preaching a sound, practical discourse. The con gregation was respectable In number and appear woe, and attentive in their manner. In the afternoon, the service was for the special benefit of the blacks, of whom about thirty, per haps, were in attendance. Some ten or fifteen white persons were present. The Bar. Mr. Byers, of Houston, preached from the parable of the bar ren fig tree. She colored people were attentive, and seemed to take a deep interest in his remarks. After the sermon, Judge Baylor made the doting prayer. Ills having formerly been a Baptist minister leads to his being not unfrequently called upon to take some part in religions steer:late, and occas i ona lly be preaches. He has been on the bench for some twenty years, and Is talked of u a candidate for the United States Senate. The elec tion Is to be held during the coming cession of the Legislature, which is to meet at Austin the Brat Monday of November. In the evening there was a third service, at which Mr. Byers preached again to the whites. The blacks are not excluded from Use morning or evening services; but few of them attend, those of them who care to go to church ge nerally being satisfied with the afternoon service, which Is for their especial benefit.

I.*NITID STATTS DISTRICT Cot ay.—Judge Cad walade r.—Minech Snow was put upon his trial upon two bills of indictment; tke first charging him with maliciously heating James MeiCruf, on the 2dth of November. 1559, and the second with creel and unusual punishment to the same person en the 15th of October. 1559. The defendant is the first male of the ship Thomas Jefferson, and is charge& with cruelly beating the prosecutor, who was a sea man on board of said vessel while on a voyage from Liverpool to the port of Philadelphia. Wm_ M. Bull, Esq., appeared as conneel for the defence. The case was greesed to trial, notwithstanding the view of the lathed judge that it was a fame. The jury in the case of John Cosgrove, second mato of the chip Thomas Jeferson, charged with maliciously beating a Spaniard named Stephen Goneita, who was a seamen on board of said ves sel, came into court yesterday morning, after being out all night, and announced to the court that they were unable to agree upon a verdict. The court, upon inquiry, fund that the jurors eoull not agree, and accordingly discharged them. It will be remembered that the judge mstrueted this jury to acquit. Win Wentzell was charged with parsing coun terfeit gold dollars upon Adolph Higbee- The court instructed the jury to acquit the deft., as there was no evidence to show a guilty knowledge upon the part of the deft. Verdict not guilty. Wentzell era ably represented by Lewis C. Cassi dy, Esq. 6 The afternoon session of the court was mainly de voted to the hearing of the arguments of counsel in I , now's case. Mr. Vandyke, for the Government, contended that malice bad been proven an the part of the defendant, while Mr. Bull std the judo took an apposite view. 'To detail all the judicial Interruptions which mooned in the ecurse of the addresses would require MOTO space than we Can spare We may mats, however, In this eimmention,, that Messrs. Vandyke and Bull, in the eonden of these seamen cues," have displayed a power of eloquence that has attracted to the court-room crowds of audition. The legal contest wu cer tainly exciting, but gentlemanly to the end. We think that Mr. Vandyke is entitled to much credit for his whole management of these trials. After a charge from the judge. similar to that in Cosgrove's case, telling them to ',Nail, the jury re tired for deliberation, and then came into court last evening with a verdict of •‘ guilty." The sets. trances imposed tell a curious tale. Cosgrove was .ntenced to an imprisonment of twenty days. and .now Paled Sift. In the Quarter Sessions it will be seen that a man eonvieted yesterday of an assault and battery on a policeman, wee sentenced to six months imprisonment.

The ytlllll g o (Pa.) Spectator Says: " The Seneca oil well, in Cherrytree township, this county, is again in successful operation, yielding from 700 to 000 gallons every twenty-four boars! This may appear incredible, yet it is nevertheless true. " The' 11 all the Lands of E. Brewer & Co., formerly Brewer, Waterson, & Co. Several years ago the owners of the land disposed of the oil pri vilege to a company in New Haven, Cons. This c ompany, we understand, considered they had a hard bargain, and some two years since leased their privilege to E. L. Drake and others, for the period of forty years, the latter agreeing to pay the 00D2- party 'l2? eents per gallon for all oil collected. Drake at first collected oil from artificial vats. a number of which were on the nremisca. He subsequently commenced boring, and, after reaching the depth of sixty-seven feet, struck the holy of oil which affords the above extraor dinary yield. The oil and water are reined to the ntrface by a pomp driven by a small engine, in tuantlties of one part of the former to four parts of the latter. This is then collected to a large rat, and when the oil rises to the surface it is drawn cif and barrelled.
