At Meinengert they have instituted . a Seminary for the purpose of forming SchoolMasters.' Some of these Institutions might be attributed tc Proselytism, if Benevolence did not claim them as her own. The little however which is known of the prin ciples of Masons, has justly alarmed. the Deposi taries of pahlie authority and the Guardians of pub - lic tranquillity. Their principles of natural Equa lity and Fraternity amongst men of different. Countries and.different Religions, have caused it to be believed that the Masons admit no distinCtion of Rank or -Religion—that they confound the Magi.. strate with the simple Citizen, and the Atheist with the Believer ; and that therefore they conspire against established order'. The setrecY which hides all their operations,' the symbolic signs % . vhich.they use, and the mysterious tokens by -means of which they are known_ to each . other, justify the suspi_. dons of Government. Add to this, that they have amongst other pectin:lily - distinguished Philo i sophers, Poysicians, Mathematicians, and .Antiquarians. • Sovereigns have made every possible exertion to extirpate Free Masons from their respedive States: They were,persecuted at ; Naples, in England they were divided, and at Aix la Chapelle two Religiettx publicly compromised the'reputation of their asso ciates ; but as they were elsewhere powerfully sup ported these circumstances only turned out to their advantage. . • If they were vitlorious in their contest with Mo. narclis, 'they had less to fear from the power of the Clergy. Catholic and Protestant Priests united to coniliat them; CLEMENT XII. excommunicated them in 5738, and BENEDICT XIV. did the same in in ; but it is pretended, That he afterwards changed his opinion with respea to them, and -that he was even admitted among'. them. It is a remarkable circumstance, that the French Rev,ohition . has given the most successful blow to Free-Masonry ; since it has establiShed its . doe. trine in the blood of so'many vidims, it.pays'court no longer to mystery atld. singurality. Such are the opinions entertained at the sresent moment, even Germany, that' those iitViotilili)&ons who had been initiated, - rejeif the Institution' with hor_ ror, now .that they.are aware of its .consegliences. FEE.. .traveller giVes lus an account of an Apostolic Mission, sent six ears ago to,Upper Suab;4; by the remains of the Jesuits at :Auirbirgh; • Proveiked. by the Government of the . Country, this Mission took not share in quelling those disorders • -which it was afterwards necessary 'to repress by force. .But, in revenge, the Rever end Fathers distributed a profusion of rosaries, con. ..serrated crosses, &c. They also attempted to work -sorne miracles, and circulated - the most absurd legends.' At the same time, some of their Preachers delivered some very indecent Sermons on the dif ferent sins of luxury', of which one of them reek_ oned up &loch to his rustic hearers. They deter mined that aftions committed during drunkenness Were noCcriniiiial; . and the Secretary of the mission was heard: to say, that it was necessary tq flatter the people to prepare them for tht. re-establishMent of the order. The College : of Jesuits at Au i vAurg has always shewn itself the enemy of 'knowledge and- libera lity ;' and rears a race of fanatics, or hypaciites, who, under the cloak of devotion, are guilty of.the grossest immoralities. The -same traveller relates * remarkable. anec. dote of one of the Chiefs of the ,College, %VW was a member of the mission': A young nan, %rho was, about to be expelled the - Collegqor eating meat on Friday, pleaded that" it was less ciiminal than if he had frequented' places of debaUchery What do you advance ?" said the Father with a holy zeal ; " the faidi Which in the lattex ease, you would liave committed, would at least hkive been -a human sin ; but 'to cat meat on.

Charter, , a Corn_ Chandler, a bankrupt,. . to -recover the,,sum 0f..64.91. 3s. 6a., being found to be the difference upon a balance of accounts between him and the Defendant, and paid by Charter to the Defendant in.contetqla.: . tieff of hit hankrupig, ,, and, •aS such, a fraud upon. the rest of the creditors, for that this ought to have been brought into the mass to be divided by the creditors at' large, whereas this was a fraudulent: preference, given to one over the rest of the credi,:.. tors, and consequently illegal. The law upon this subjeet was so extremely clear and simple, and stood' upon principles, the policy of which had been so frequently recognized, that little was left for burn • to say in opening this ease. After a bankruptcy took place, the bankrupt ceased, to have any pro perty whatever. However secret that ad might be, at the tune it took place, 'yet the instant it did'so, a period was put, by law, to every one of his ads afterwards, as fat as they related ro • any property he had the care or control' of, except as to common affairs and business which was under the protedion of the statute. • An at of bankruptcy, though a secret aft of the party, had the efFeet of diVesting him of theproperty that 'was in him before; It s did not, however, very often happen, without the trader having sbine reason to exped it, a while before it happened ; 'and, if under that expettation, for motives of his avn, he favoured any particular creditor, and preferred / his demand to that of any other; and paidticri the'debt. in contemplation-of a 'bankruptcy, such payment was void in law, and' • the assigneeS should recover - if back for •the benefit •of all the' creditors in common: That was the case in the present,instance.; was a necessary interptetation'of the Bankrupt Laws, for, .withodt it, statutes concerning bankruptcy. would become . .. a dead. letter ; the bankrupt,' as soon,..as' he appre-• failure, ~.would' pay one or two of .. his creditors whom„ he wished to favour, 'the wh6lo)l' their debts - and. there ~'woold be nothing left:to distribute among, the, rest; it was, therefore, de:. termined, that when a person knows he is about . to . become a bankrupt, he shall not select any One ..Of his creditors and, prefer him to the rest. He had only this farther remark 'to make upon the subjed .Where a creditor of a bankrupt hears; or has rea_ son to suspeft that he ,may become insolvent, he threatens to sue his debtor, and theteby he obtains payment of his debt, the law will support such creditor in his legal vigilance : it; under a threat of arrest, even though a trader contemplated a, bankruptcy, .he paid the creditor who'threatened to arrest him, that, shall not be ,deerlied a fraudulent preference, but shall be deemed a legal payment to the creditor who shall thus 'Stand upon his right, for the law would always support legal diligence ; but where the bankrupt, of his own mere motion, Without any arrest, or threat of an arrest, of.any process, without any proposition from his creditor, does, of himself give the preference voluntarily to a-creditor, that preference cannot stand. Now the bankrupt, in this case, communicated the circum stances of it t 6 ,the Commissioners. , He stated the account between him afid ;, the Defendant . and the Defendant himself, in his examination said, that the bankrupt paid hiM the money, and delivered to him goods,' and that two or three days afterwatdi he stopped payment. That the bankrupt paid the cash, and delivered, the goods voluntarily, and: the, acr counts, were settled between the bankrupt and De;.' fendant at the bankx.upt's"own instance and request; _and that he w,is noL,requested by the Defendant so to do.• -It had frequently cost a Counsel 'the lab Our of a quarter of an hour to prove a case so plainly by mesns of big ow p .Witness as the Defendant had by these words upon his examination prOved against . himself in this case.. He then went on to say, that preirious to the. 6th or 7th of March, when this payMent was made to him by the bankrupt, he had heard that bills had been dishonoured by the bank rupt, and that in case he, the Defendant, had not, received cash and good's on the 6th of March, he would have been a creditor di the bankrupt ,to the amount of 6001. or, 7001. That, Mr. ER S KINE said, Was just the complaint the Assignees made by this.aftion. He should have been a creditor like the rest, and - come in under the commission, instead of taking all to hiniself. The Bankruptck of Charter, the , Petitioning Creditor's Debt, &C. were admitted. Commission ad. April, • . Hugh Ushek said, that he knew Charter, the Bankrupt, was' Bonne led with him in trade, (had several tranSAelionS with him. He knew that on the-9th, or loth of March Charter was about to call his creditors together , —.they were called together On the :twit. . The, account, as settled, between Charter the Bankrupt, and- the Defendant, by which he paid to the , Defendant in. Bills and goods on the. 6th of August,, to the amount of 64.91. 13s. 6d. was then put in and proved, 'and that part of the examina tion of the Defendant alluded to in the opening was read—so ;hat the :Case: was made .out on the part of the Assignees,' The ATTORNEY GENERAL said, he. did not mean to controvert any of the fads under One of the heads of the examination, but .he submitted that unless other fads were proved, Or cbosidered by the Jury. already proved, especially after what he should prove, the 'Defendant, in this Case would be entitledsto a verdid ;.-for although the payment might be voluntary. on t i he part of the Bankrupt, ,and made only.a feW daytt i before. the Bankruptcy, yet, unless it was made,; in. contemplation, . of a Bankruptcy,. and with a viewto prefer - this De%. fendant to the rest of the Creditors, the payinent was a valid payment, Before this payinent could be bad, and the, Assignees recover in.thii Adlion, there must be two ingredients, namely—a . purpose :of preference,' and a , contemplation of 'a pen ding Bankruptcy. • Now, on the part of the Defendant, he Would call Charter,. the Bankrupt himself,' who certainly knew better. than any..body else could, what his purpose Was, and with what view he paid accounts between biol. and 414 Po . . tendant. Fre .would shew that tile Defen4ant. - and ..qhitiJcr, the Bankrupt, were in the habit of settling their acconnis toge . ther,"and !hit' at 'the time this 'account was last settlerl'between them, Charter had 'no idca that he should become a Bankrupt.—lf so, the Defendant would be entitled to a verdiCt. It Was:true, the settlement of . thesi atodhis Proeed etri-rom the rnntiOn' of the - Bankrupt -himself, and 'that : the payinent was not 'made under tenor of arrest; Or any particular legal diligence' on the part 'of the Defendant in.. this- Mtion, which, as Mr. ERMLNE had very properly stated,..,.*!ould have legalized the payment of it; but- it was, a payment made' in the course of trade, not under any con templation of Bankruptcy, and therefore 1ega1.... the la%V"of Bankruptcy, in'over-hauling by-gone transaEtions . .in trade, in consequence . of a secret aft of 13ankrupterbeing discovered, was' abundantly hard and-hprsh already:; . there .was. no O'ccasion to extend thatconstruaion was not arraigning the Law, it .was' wise, ' `a n a l if' a ' Man in contemplation. of a Bankruptcy, preferred one cre ditor to another, ankpaid whom. he pleased, there would . only be left a husk for: the . mass of the creditors—a thing which the Law would certainly not endure; but the Bankrupt hims r elf,Wotild prove that he settled this account, in the.common course of business, and that be had not, at the time, 'any idea that he was.to,beCorne a Bankrupt, and that one of his creditors called the rest together, which brought on,his Bankruptcy., and therefore the De., fendant would, in this Case, he . entitled to the pre ference which the course of business, had, .by acci dent, thrOwn in his way. Tho'ruas Charter, the Barikotpl, was, then calls.ed, and he swore that when he- - settled this account with the Defendant,-he did it ill the usUal'course of business, without any idea of giving the Defend ant- any .reference over the rest of the creditor,s p nor had he the least idea of becominga Bankrupt at the time,afthough it turned-put so afterwards ;of of his creditors to whom he .owed +cool. coming spdtlenly tTon him, &c.--That he was theta worth r3s. in the pound, on the winding up of his ac, cOunts.
