Two of the most important measures of the Sara, the Partnership Bill sad the Joint Stock Companies Bill, are to be considered to-night in the Hoses of Commooe. At present we shall confine oar observa tions to the Partnership Bill. It will be remembered that the general °ldiot of the Bill ie to protect dormant partners—persoss who without taking any active part in the management of a ha loes. are yet entitled to a certain proportion of the profits of a partnership. Even under the present jurisprudence, sieve the abolitioa of the levy ' laws, it is possible by a skilfully castrated cabal substantially to scoompliah thin results and, there fore, the oontemplated change is for the purpose of enabling a man to do that directly which at pre sent he can to a certain extent do indirectly. At present, as we have often explained, the moment it is proved that %lowa is entitled to a share in the profits of Jam and Co.'s boasts, be is liable for the debts of Jam and Co. to his last farthing. Blow* say be living a thousand miles off; he say be the infant son of a deceased partner; he may be a benevolent old gestlessan living at Scarborough, who has kindly lent I,OOOJ. to Jotas and Co. ; the creditors of Jonas and Co. may neve r have heard of Blown ; they may have supplied goods, not in any way tasting to Blowit's private fortune invested in Consols; and yet if, in fact, Baowx is entitled to a share in the profits, be is liable to the extent of his whole fortune, sad nothing an protect Mee. This state of the law is obviously aboard. Why should Bnown be made Sabb to the extent of hie whole fortune ? Because, it is odd, he shares in the profits of the partnership, and therefore he must share in its losses. Oa what ground ? On the ground, we are told, of an equitable regard to the interests of the creditors of Janis and Co. Bat those creditors in eatractlng with lan sad Co had so knowledge whatever of the existesse of Bsowx as a partner. They therefore sever gave credit to him—never gave credit to his private fortune. That private farts,* wee in Coes* ad therefore was never used for the purpose of misleading them. Why should not buns and Co. be allowed to say to the oreditore—We bare our own a pital, sad we boa a certain amount of other, 'vita Thais who advance that other capital de net interfere in the management of the sowers ; they trust to no. If these capitalists me masted from leading to us se *sedition el sharing in the profits to a certain extent without risking their whole fortune, they will not lend at all, but if no law prevent them they will readily lend us their mosey, sad thus net only we, the active partners, bat you, the trading cre ditors. will be benefited. The good policy of part- 1 menhir with limited liability is obvious. True it Is that even ►t present, by leading mosey at an exorbitant interest, to be radioed to a son proportioned to the ammil pat, Lam may eireuitraly obtain all the advantages which he will obtain ander the proposed law ; but the difference is that ender the present law the lender is a creditor grinding down his debtor and defrauding the other (redden, whereas nada , the proposed law the /Rader will be a perms who, , having a real interest in the eases of the coacern— bosses be is, is fast, a perms whir agrees to sink sr swim with the senses—will probably be disposed to take a km strict view of his own rights, sad a mere indulgent view of the obliiratisos of the settee pietas& The principle of limited partnership, although un kaown is this sonstry, hes lees bees established is Prase% and fission truasfeeted theme to the United States. It *ln fast, the Law of Oweeemidies. Assura ble to that law ono or mere proms respossible Ghee lately,u gassed partnere, may be sesesiated with ems or more sleeping partnere who furnish a certain pro perties of capital, sad are liablesely to the extent of the feeds furnished. Aceordieg to the statutes or New 'fork the same sort of partnership exists Wet -1.101/111 partners being the astigmatism of these partners who are respeesibie to the lest farthingt tweak, Farthers being the &Wootton of those pr oems who furnish certain foods to the comma stook, and whole liability extends so farther than the fond finished. These special partnere are not allowed to trashiest any business es esecent of the partnership, et to be employed for that papas as spats or otherwise; hot they may mini* ea to the manage went of the partnership donor.. Awarding to Eng lish law,., it stands at remit, a creditor, is crater to prove a mat liable as a partner, bee to prove only this—that he shares is the profits. According to the Americas law jest laid down, in order to prove that a loan shone in the profits is not sufficient—the creditor must pen to show that the speckle/sleeping partner has not only advised bet less taken aa active share in the partnership, or basin some way held himself oat to the world as a partner. The Bill of M. Lows, se it stand. at preset, proposes to sleet as *blest something similar. From what has been said. it is sitar that a sea may be proved to be liable as a part sir is several ways. Coe of the ways is hyalite/kw that he shine is the profits. It is essesived that this mere fast taken by itself ought sot, in judos, to Wiest a mu to the loss of hie whole lacunae ; but, at the same time, it is equally obvious that a man who trades epos his pinata' credit, or who alleles parsons to assume that he has pledged his personal credit, or who personally conducts a business, ought to be bold responsible to his last farthing. How, thee, is the proposed object to be *Beefed of protest ing a man from the loss of his whole forts's* by the mere feet that he @harm is the profits? The amended Bill assess% by seeming, " That se person wry's, oa lousiness shall. by reason that another penes ataree(er is entitled to share r) in the profits death !manna, have power to contract debts os behalf of snob other person or to subject hies to any liability." If this Bill passes, therefore, it will no longer be possible to nuke a man liable to the extent of his fortune by simply proving that be shares in the profits : tome more definite sot if In terference meet be proved. The soots of Feriae, sad el America expressly provide for the right of a perms to advise without making himself liable., a partner. Those who framed the Bill before us have, in ell °Pi' sin, exercised a wise dietetics is emitting any seek qualification. It I. admitted by French lawyer' that this right of advising has given rift to grave difficul ties, and even to ooesiderable fraud. Capitalists have bees found to carry on a trade as special parkin, Oriel; advice to a general pettier who turned out to be a man of straw ; and thee, when the catastrophe came, these espitslists attempted to shelter themselves under the pies that they were is fast special partners, and is givlog doles did not exceed the rights of a special partner. The patrol partner—the man of straw—being un able to discharge the debts, the ruin of the creditors has too often been the consequence, while the special partner has escaped comparatively unharmed. We thick it preferable, therefore, to leave to the judges the qu.stion whether the amount of interference proved is such interference as ought to make a man who claims to be a sleeping partner liable to the full extent of hie fortune. There is another point as to the registration of these limited partnerships which demands attention. It is undoubtedly tree that both in Franoe and in America such registration is re quired. How far it ought to he insisted Oa bete is a matter which will no doubt be fully wandered in committee, and on which, foe the present. we reserve oar opinion. ;tie Court.

We have received a copy of the important decree respecting the rights of Christiana, proategatad at Coostantinople on the 21st February. It states that Farman, will have a right to possess landed pee -1 peaty t that, as regards civil right., there will be a ample* 'quay between Mussalnisns and Chris tians, and that the latter will be subject to the pay ment of different taxes. Any denomination of a nature to express the superiority of memos over another is expressly forbidden both in pablie documents es in private eonventioos. The patriarchs are to be named forlife. The clergy will receives Azad stipend,and the church property will be ineseged by an assembly composed of persons of that religion. There will be mixed tribess/a.
