LOATDOII , DERRY ASSIZES. ON Friday the 30th ult. a cause of some novelty, and of considerable importance, came on to, be tried before the Hon. Baron Guottca, and a Special Jury of the County of Derry, "It was an issue dire6ted by the Court of Chancery, to try whether " Henry PaterSO, of Millbrook, against whom a Commission of Bankrupt had issued in the year 1803, had at any time before, and when, and down to what particular period, been a Trader within the meanitir - of the Bankrupt Laws or not?" This question had 's teeti tried . at the last Derry Assizes; and the ,verdit't then found had been since set aside by the Court of Chancery, and it, was or dered to be tried de noun. In this a&ion Joseph Courtney, who had been appointed Assignee of the alledged Bankrupt, was, pursuant to the, Order of the Court of Chancery, the nominal Plaintiff, , and Alex ander Stewart, Esq. was the nominal Defendant.— It appeared that Mr, Paterson had, in January , 1803, executed a deed of Mortgage to Mr; Stewart for the security of a considerable sutit of money which Paterson. had received out olMr. Stewart's estate . at Kilrea, in the Comity of 'Derry, in which Pater- , aon was the acting anditeceiver. Scion, however, after the execution of thii4deed, a commission of bankrupt had been - sued out against Idm with his own privity and concurrence; and it was then aliedged by him and his creditors,. that he ought not to pay any money to .Alr. Stewart, and that the d?ed given as Mr. Stewart's ieeurity was,, as to him, henry' Paterson, absolutely void. Mr. Stewart had, in Noveniber 1803, filed a Bill in Chancery to fbreclose the mortgage.; Henry Pater son and Courtney, the' Assignee, were . both Defend ants in the cause in Chancery ; and, in their answer, they insisted that Henry Paterson, having been a trader, was a proper object of the Bankrupt Laws, and that the deed was theretiitt void. This, there fore, Was the question sent to be determined by the Jury. • . . The trial occupied the entire day. Eighteen wit nesses were examined on behalf of Courtney-.—eight on behalf of Mr. Stewart. r' It appeared in evidence that Mr. Paterson, the (Mica of the inquiry, had been aCtually in business in, the year 1771, and for two or three years afterwards, he having been then a distiller in the County of Donegal!, but that re mote period of time was ef no consequence in the present trial. It appeared, however, that since his taming to Magherafelt, which was itnrnediately •at`ter his leaving ionegall, he sometimes boUght and sold Meal and flaxseed; but it appeared that these articles were generally bought and sold in the .names of Lord 'Londonderry and Tho Mas Bateson, Esal the proprietors ofthe Magherafelt estate, which Pater Son also received; and‘that they were sold to the tenantry on the estate, and at other times to Paterson's own labourers in payment of their work'; and that it would not be given to any others' unless by special favour. On behalf of 'Courtney it was contended, that Paterson had also been a dealer in bills of exchange, and proof was given of his buy ing bills, and sometimes selling billsa bait did not • appear that : this.was dori in the way of trade, or to seek a profit thereby., And, on behalf of Mr. Ste W..; art, it was shown That Paterson bad remitted much rat time rents received by him in bills. After examination of twenty-six witnesses (of whom theie were some on both sides not examined on the former triply Counsel spoke to evidence, and the Learned Judge, with his usual. perspituity and elegance, laid down the law. He observed the va tious ways. of lite which Paterson, n:#>: admitted on nil sides, appeared to have exercised, namely, his situation in the agency,. his extensive farming, his Seneschalship, &c. He observed, that to make a mama Trader, within the meaning oldie Bankrupt Laws, it was necessary to shew some general deal ing, and not a Ileitling for any particular purposes, or to any particular class' of persons. lie said, he did not conceive that a Country Gentleman, buying and selling any articles for the mere service of his tenantry, or his labourers, would constitute such a trading; and that the relative situation between the agent of an estate and the tenantry ,of it, made the, same observations ,apply to such, an agent buying and selling for the saute special purposes and there: fore he said, that if the .fury should conceive that the landlords wcrc.not concerned in this buying and selling, the eeNt question for their consideration would be, whetter or .not Mr. Paterson's dealing in these articles had arisen from such his relative situation with the tenantry, and was for their accom7' niodation, and not fir the general purposes of trile As to thealledged de;ding, in exchange; he said, the Matter, for the consideration of the Jury on that head \v t 5 w 11& Nil' slit deZtling iii bills L i d been merely in discharge of the tlutiea of his ageney, or a distin(t trading for the purposes of toa kb, T ; paiatit thereby.

A pr6hibition was applied for to the Court of King's Bench, on the ground that the ves sel was within the jurisdiaion of the Salvage Mt, • and not within The jurisdiOion of the Admiralty ; and was opposed by the • Defendant Blair, who swore, supported by two of his crew, that the vessel was three miles without all head-lands, within the jurisditaion .of the Admiralty, and in danger of sink ing on the high seas, and not in danger of being stranded, and in such situation was carried by him into a port of safety. The evidence being so vari ous, the Court of King's Bench granted conditional prohibition, and left it to a Jury of the County to try the fact, whether the vessel was stranded, or in danger of being stranded ; and Witnesses 'being ex amined on both sides, and able arguments used by Counsellors DUNN, SCRIVEN, BLACK, &c. for the Defendant, and Mess.

We extract the following Description of the ab , riginal T nha. bitants of th , t Bahamas, who were treated whh so lunch cruelty by the Simniarcls,toin &PK N N eN'S Tour through the licttish,WeA " A passage in Herrera came forcibly into my reColleetion whilst Meditating, on the subjea, in Which he says, that on the first arrival of the Spa- - niards this unsuspedine• but devoted people were never satisfied with looking at them : they knelt down, lifted up their hands, and gave thanks to God, inviting one another to adMire the heavenly men.— Twenty years, however, had scarcely elapsed before these heavenly men found it convenient to transport them, -by force or artifice; to dig in the mines of Hispaniola t. a measure to which the Court of Spain was tempted to give its assent by the plausible Rug.; gestions, that it would be the most effeaual mode of civilizing and instru6ting . them in the Christian Re ligion. Ulioii this pretence 40,000 souls (probably the whole 'population of the Islands) were. trap-. sported to Hispaniola. So exalted was the opinion' which this situple people entertained of their de streyers, ,and so strong and universal is the persua sion of the human mind that a destiny awaits it be yond the miseries and disappointments of its present bounded existence, that many of the Lucayans were induced with cheerfidness to. abandon their homeS, under a persuasion that they should meet - in a had • pier co antry the spirits of their deceased friends, with whom the Spaniards represented themselves as living in a state of society. As the situation of these Islands, with respect to each other, invited a con tinual intercourse amongst the inhabitants, who pro bably subsisted in a great measure on fish; 'one may justly presume, they were principally devoted to a maritime :life. Sonic of their canoes were large ctiot Leh carry between tbrty and fifty persons. Indeed many convincing proofs of their, intrepidity and expertness in the water occurred after their transportation to St. Domingo ; when, finding the delusion 'which had been praCtised to decoy them . from their native country, they made every alert to regain it. Some few effeaed their escape, although many were frustrated in the design. Two men and one woman had constructed a raft ; and having laid in a stock of Indian corn, and water in gourds, in the hollow of a tree attached. to the bottom of the• raft, they put to sea, proceeding in a northern course towards New Provickence. As might be expeaed,, they were often washed from the deck of their pre-. carious vessel : but being admirable swimmers, and accustomed ti) struggle with the waves, they regained the raft ; and working their way with paddles, they bad aanally proCeeded one hundred and: fifty miles on this long and perilous voyage, when, intercepted by a Spanish ship, it was their cruel fortune to be Carried back again to the country which they so much detested, and where they were doomed to eternal alayery. There are very few particulars in which the inhabitants of those Islands will he found to differ front the natives of Cuba, or of the North American Continent, whence, in all likelihood, they originally emigrated. In person they were of a middle sta ture, well shaped, but rather fleshy, of an olive co lour, with high foreheads, open countenance and it.. gular features. Their hair was biack, lank, and thick, sometimes cut short over their ears, and some , times tied in tresses. • They were for the most part naked, and their bodies or laces, like those of the North American warriors, W(t e• painted gene 'rally red, hut sometimes black or white. They were 'totally ignorant of the use ofiron ; and the only ar ticles of any value discuveren amongst them were cotton and gold. Although averse to war, they sometime 3 found it necessary to ruin themselves-in self-defeoce ; and on, such occasions they made use of javelins pointed with fish hones. The p r i nc ip a l talent they lios.ies!;:ed, and which the Spaniards found of value, was. their extroarditutry expertness' in div ing, having been probably accustomed to subsist on conchs obtained in this mamter .in the Bahamas.— On this afxount they, were generally transported by the Spaniards still farther south, and employed in the petiri fishOy on the I,,land of Cubagua,. on the coast CuMatia, in Soutli America.. It is said that one bun-- cited and fifty ducat, at that time A large price, were often given at Hispaniola for a diver of the Bahamas. They susrivett,•however, but a feW years, under the doininont:,of their oppressors." In Anwric.

WHATEVEri inay be the inerits of the litnerie.in Criminal code in other respe6ts, there is - one prin ciple at least which is highly desirable for adoption in our's : namely, that- of endeavatting to 74firrm as: Well as punish the - criminal whoSe life the law Spares, and to leave him without excuse for future disho nesty, by obliging him, while in prison, to learn some handicraft trade, if he has not one before; by ;Ins industry in which he may not only , be kept out - of, idleness and Profligacy while -in prison, and obliged' to earn his own subsistence with Out expence to' the industrious community, but placed in the means of gaining an honest livelihood when restorectto fiber ty. The punishment•of death is there never intliet,. ed but where murder is the crime : and, indeed, :to the generality of criminals, two; three, or four years Imprisonment at hard labour is.almoSt as formidable, as death Eut iniprisunment before - and after con 7 vialion, without any sort of employment to occupy the mind, as in English gaols,'is but a means to with draw the mind from all'industrionshabits, and dir(a it to new systems of fraud and villainy. This is con tinually illustrated by the number of hardened vif lains that crowd to our criminal tribunals, and from: infancy to manhood spend more than half their lives, in gaols. A ludicrous occurrence took place some time since, at Philadelphia, tor- spew, in one Striking in stance at least, the good eifeds of the American Code. . . A young Irishman, of respelable ,and nexions in his own country, but bred Up to no Useful. pursuit, habits of idleness naturally followed by. ek travagance and dissipation, led him;into somefau2' 7 :- pas in his own, country, *which rendered his .per sonal safety rather precariouS, A Lientenantcy was obtained for him, by his friends, in a keginient going to the West Indies, where, however,•rooted liabits . were not abandoned ; and uftr evincing but .very loose and confused notions of the difference between nyunt and ham, he was at length' obliged, by the contempt and detestation shewn by his brother-6th? cers, to sell out, when he retired to America, where he hoped for a. wider field for •the exercise of his talents. A trivial mistake, in writing the'name of a friend, instead of his own, to a bill'of achinge, soon in volved him in the labyrinth of .a Pittiacielphian pri son. Such ingenious expedients not being tolerated by the American laWs, he was conviaed,.and ,sen tenced to two years imprtsonment, and must vi course undergo some practical leettires for the im provement of hiS manners. On entering the prison he was asked, as usual, by, the Governor, what trade hp was bred to. Astonished at the vulgar imperti nence of such a question, he' answered, was a Jontleman, and scorned the meanness a a mecha nical trade. _ - The Governor told him the indispensible neces sity of learning_a trade, as he could not be supported there in idleness, at the expence of the honest and •industrious i he must" therefo're either, earn his food, or Starve. The Jontleman 'answered, he scorned to depend 'on their support; -he did not wish to learn a trade, and that the best way to settle the business, was to enlarge hini. • , The Governor, however, differed in opinion, ,and told him. since he declined a 'choice, ohe must be Made for bim, which, after trial,'he might change if he thought fit. The novice was accordingly stripped,. placed in a cistern, on the Dittch into which water flowed on all sides, and soon steeped him up to the. chili, and hi's only alternative from drowning was to work constantly at a pump, which by constant exertion enabled him to keep the intin, daticin an . inch or two below his mouth ; and thus; by reversing 'the fate of Tantalus, he remained for eight hours; .when his first day's work . ended. He was then 'taken out, and asked if he liked his occu 7 . patiOn,n4 wished to continue 'it two years. Heartily sick of his first' lesson, the hero answered,. " By rily dear, you may put me to any. trade at all at but that ; fox' if I work two, years at it I'll die in ajbanight." The having thus succeeded,for regulating his t; , ,te, he was by choice enrolled arrtont the corp.; ,r,'s;!ioe-utakers, bemme in a s!tort time an, experi worktn:in, returned to hiS tive cohntry on the tCrroilut ion c.it his itn prisoranent, and is now an eminent shoc-unker at Curk..
