Witty be decided, us the very persons most In. terested against the renewal of the Act; t►ey are a powerful arid pessimist hody—tin coaneerchil world ; whilst the advocates in its kaiser are few sad powerless, being so other than the dates this. waft, who are at remelt smarting seder the lash of lurea limited CONfielliallig end lobes 'merest la the genetics is Daly cotemperery with their owe nil , gurisoes. Ts qualify himself for Considering the subject fairly and rationally, the merdstie, the opulent trader, should reflect upon the iostabillty of holoso, cud particularly of commercial affairs; he should ideally •achaoge places with the iosolveat, when Id recoiled, that the failure of a particular boom, losses, et an enfortosmo spontlatista, may, in a moment, lower him to the level of she person span whose fate be is to decide; this reflection should be placed sling tide of ths• natural hostility against debtors, be they enfotionate or not, which iediscrialeately taint, the minds of creditors the most impartial and humane. Liberty end life are the most vetoed and valuable gilts of the Creator ; each may be takes assay by the' , authority of the State; bet, in the teepee of Mr. Justice BLACCIITOIII, when legislating nn either of such important 'objects, Statesmen would do well to look lete the aunt of their warrant ; strictly and conscieetienly to empire whether • privation of a get, the snood in value, conferred by his Creator on man, be demanded by say string sad paramount re. qaisition of piddle utility. Whether the lusolvent Act shosid receive men list modifications, le a questiee widely different from that which asks, whether it should be renewed at all. Never, since &Wend was a country, had distress grown to such a merlin& as it had attained pre. sloes to the establishment of the Insolvent Collet.— Oink of the odium under which insolvents labour wou ld be diminished, were tile difficulties of the time fairly taken into account. There is besides, an im patience of attaining mishit among tradesmen, u hick I isdecee them to risk ling credit on the chance of la m ' ,turns ; a dangerous experiment to which Iwo !mat oartly through the want of that 'wintry old hookyteat marked their more plodding sores. tors, sod to „dm, they may be partly driven by the necessity of meeting D K . urgent demands of the State. The consignment of • debtor , to the walls of a prison, is the first step towarts.' making him u reseal ; it may be observed, that be we one already; this trite and sweeping sod, o f trite is unworthy of moo ; it has been so repeatedly sao satisfactorily answered as to disposes with any call to be aliment' spew. What would be the public indigestion al Ike tien• truce of a Judge of unlimited imprisonment op.ak, a person who should have !Nonfatal! conrided of al., most any crime short of stouter, or of some, other of the highest atrocity ? Would it not borrow I the language of an unfortunate Monarch—the psi othisment, methinks, *needs the offence; but whet Is to be said in a case where promoter, judge, and jury smite in one person? The many unfortunates ' who have rotted in a jail, compose ample moiler for {synching the humanity of creditors, for staggering the reliance which is placed upon it. Reverting to toy sasertins, that the coosignment of a man to the walls of a prison is the first step towards making him a rascal: the expression is coarse, but correct ; and when the voi:e of society rails so loudly for a revision of the Criminal Cade, does not any facility to the !ammo of vise deserve the severest regard of the Le gislature ? A prisoner under such circumstances, is worse then Neutralised ; there is an end of what. ever honest efforts he might have made to extol cote himself from his difficulties. end a commence. mint of all that ere profligate and vile ; sift his con duct before you consign hien to moral death : let him be made to answer what it hes been, his past yid present views and means; his mode of life: who he 'cold undertake to do, with an exposition as to the probability of its being done: this criterion of character and intention should be afforded to him through the medium of a mere impartial jurisdiction than that of on interested and irritated creditor, be. fore he shell be doomed to a fate, ikaay case bet his, foreign to the law of England. A debtor is either unfortunate or criminal; sum mon. him before the exec-test auditors, and seaman which : prove him to be the first, then geed sense and humanity point out the proper read; establish him as the second, sad looking to one of the capital ends of punishineut—Reform, do sot throw him into the sink of idleness, crime, or despair ; make him de something good, lest he should betake himself to something bed. It mast be apparent to the dispassionate, to the disinterested third person, that there should be pre. Heileman to the incarearetion of a debtor, which, in boilable (that is, in attestable) cases there are not. In other cases there are some which are as excellent as they are simple, and in every day's practice, be fore then useful jurisdictions called Coons of Con scieace. A party is summoned before them ; en. Betties are mode as to his capability, and payment of the debt is awarded accordingly. Perhaps apprehension of the person should be sob stinted la place of the process by summons: the complicate nature of large debts might not either ad mit of such summary proceedings : the wisdom of the Legislature would devise others more fitting; where too a person ahoold not be required to be. come responsible for the whole of a debt, but only for the payment of one moderate instalment, with on option after that to continue his responsibility. In suck a con, friends and persons interested in the stress of a debtor would baserd a smell respoticibi. •-•-•••• • •• - • . arlieb, looking to Gt.

The system of lock-up hoes.. should be abolished : i Orient arrested should be immediately Convoyed to prises ; sad the attaching efilcers to the prison. wise, at regular hours, mad moderate and regulated feu, should mediate between the debtor end his cre ditor, would be attended with the most beneficial result,. The money which at present is griped by extortion, would be made honestly applicable to purposes of liberation, slid, in many cases, towardv the payment of the debt. Professioual men of respectability eve averse le prison negotiations; they are not to be blamed, fe what can he more retrolliog to their feelings ih% • even the passing through such society as is ton fie qmpoily found there; independent of the dream. stencil., !hat their exertion*, if paid at all, are on likely to receive an adequate recompowce; while. elsewhere, they are in the habit of receiving the most I I ample.
