[Morning Chronicle.] Letters received from St. Helena, dated the sth of March, mention the arrival of the Redwing sloop 'of war there a short time before. They are wholly silent about any passengers having ar rived in her, so that we may infer, ;hat the re port of the mission of Mr. Arbuthnot, or some other individual to that island, is without founda tion. The squadron, especially the Conqueror, continued very unhealthy. The Redwing had sailed for Ascension on the 2d. The family of the late Member of Council, Mr. Leech, had left the island in the Orwell, and several others were pre paring to quit the Colony. Letters from Margarita,. dated 12th Feb. men tion the arrival there of the ships Melanthe, Du chess of Bedford, Suffolk, ,and Blenheim, with 600 British volunteers. They had been extremely healthy, and were encamped on shore, waiting for the Independent squadron under Admiral Brion, on board of which they were to embark for an attack against Omani+, for which exten sive preparations had long been making, and un der every hope of success.—(lbid.) [Morning Post.] A letter from Jacquenul (Hayti), dated Jun. 17, states the horrible fact, quit. the whole of the crews of two American vessels which had been captured by the pirates who had so long infested that coast; were instantly murdered by their sa vage captors. The Government had taken no measures for the adequate punishment of these horrid crimes. Some of the Pirates, it is true, had been apprehended, but with no other view than that of benefitting the Government by their de i vedations ; for as soon as 'the officers had taken frolA them the fruits of their plunder, they were set at liberty to renew their outrageous and mur derous practices. MAJOR SCOT+ WARING.---.We are concerned .to announce the death of Major Scott Waring, who expired yesterday at his honie in Halfmoon-street. Major Scott was long distinguished in the House of Commons for his unremitted exertions in the cause of his friend, the late Mr. Warren Hasfrtings ; and having seen the successful issue of those ex ertions, in the honourable anti complete acquittal of his friend, he retiftd front Parliament, the fa tiguing attendance of uhicl► had much affected his naturally delicate health. No man was more truly beloved and respected in private life than Major Scott Waring, and. his memory will long be ci►e rished.--(lGid.) Ma. Entiort—lt is said by some opponents to the present Act for Relief of Debtorrotbat an extension of the Act of Parliament, &2d Geo. 11. commonly called the Loswl' Aca, .and its dependent Statutes, would better answer lite purl poses of justice. This-cannot be true in fact, for, As the Lords' Act now stands, it only affords Liberty to the Debtor_ who is charged in execution, and then only upon condition of his surrendering his effects to the one Creditor by whom he is held in custody; and all the other Creditors ate de prived of any benefit or reparation. Consequently, such other Creditors have only the person of the Debtdt to resort to, who may be subject to fresh caption, and harassing infi nite imprisonment, after his property has been alienated.— The only way in which the principle of the Lord? Abt could be rendered beneficia:; to Creditors would be, by incorporat ing that principle with the provisions of the Insolvent Act, and to provide that no Debtor should be confined ott Alesne Process; and, when in execution, that he should be relieved upon the cession bf his property for the benefit of all his Creditors, as is nosrithe case under the Insolvent Act ; and the compalsory clause of the Lords' Act might properly be enforced under the provisions of the Insolveut Act, in parti cular and express cases ; but to apply its compulsory prori slots in all cases of Debt and Imprisonment, would tend. greatly to unsettle the laws of descent and inheritance ; Many sons of great families might have property wrested front thorn far beyond the amount of their debts; and much intricacy would arise in litigious disputation. The numerous com plaints which have been urged against the administration of the present Act, seem to throw a great reproach upon the Judge who presides in the Court ; but when it is considered that his duty is extremely arduous, and the cases which route before him so very numerous, those who have witness ed the exercise of that duty will admit, that with the roost consciencious regard to the Liberty of the Debtor, and the Rights of Creditors, it is nearly impossible to give universal satisfaction ; and it might be better reconciled to the public, if the presiding Judge could be aided io his official functions. For this purpose, it is submitted that Commissioners might he appointed to attend the Metropolitan Gaols, under the order of the Judge of the Insolvent (:oust, and take the exa mination of all the Debtors under a limited sum (say 3001 ), and upon their certificate the Court might proceed to ad judge, as it does at present upon the certificate of Country Magistrates; if above the specified sutn, the Debtors to be examined before the Court as at present. This would relieve the Jude of the Court from much of his present labour, and, it is prosumed. would afford more public satisfaction. And it might be well to consider whether:: voluntary decla ration of insolvency, under a readiness to surrender on exa mination, might not in many cases he preferable to impri sonment, in the same manner as Bankrupts pass their exa ruination without being confined, unless by warrant front the Commissioners of Bankrupt. The Creditors of a Bank rupt are bound to discharge the prisoner upon their proof of debt.. The Insolvent is confined without proof of debt. The distinction of treatment is irreconcifeable ; Bankrupts are insolvent, but Insolvents are not always Bankrupts. Those who have heretofore contended ag ainst the final decision tel the presiding Commissioner in th e Insolvent Court, and have urged the right of appeal elsewhere, may probably be recon ciled to the investigation before Justices of the Peace in the country, and Commissioners in London, with ultimate ap peal to the presiding Commissioner, whose experience, as a Judge of the Court, will qualify him to decide more satisfac torily than any other tribunal nut conversant with the prac tical operation of the Act ; and some legislative provision seems requisite to obviate the inconvenience necessarily at tending the absence of the Commissioner, by illness, or other unavoidable cause : the appointment of a substitute or assistant Commissiorter in such cases is desirable. It has been objected by many Creditors, that dividends are not drily- made under Insolvents' estates ; upon close investiga tion, it will appear that their own negligence frequently causes the delay of dividends, and large sums have been lost for want of due vigilance. From a contrary conduct, it has rdeently occurred, that a discharged Debtor has paid 20s. in the pound to each of his scheduled Creditors, and legal inte rest upon all the debts carrying interest. When it is stated that 10,C00 per annum goes into the hands of the Receiver of the Insolvent Court ; it may fairly be asked, why do not the Creditors apply for and obtain the money so paid to such Receiver ? Until they do, it might perhaps be well to place the amount of monies so collected in a situation of security, by investment in the Funds, or in the hands of bankers. — With proper attention, Creditors may sometimes realize more under the Insolvent Act than under the Bankrupt Laws, as future property is rendered liable by the former, and by the latter it is exempt. Great odium having been thrown upon the general body of Debtors as a class of fraudulent characters, and evidence be ing c tiled for before the Committee sof the House of Com mons to prove cases its opposition to the equitable provisions of the Statute, it !night he desirable that Debtors who have been discharged, and some who are in custody, should be also examined to shew that in some cases fraud is practised by Creditors, or at least culpable negligence may be attributed as the chief origin of the clamour which is excited against the. Act. The evidence of Creditors only would be As partial as the testimony of Gaolers might be interested ; the first often specnlate on the power of it..prisonment, and time latter live on the miseries which it creates; turd therefore bests parties are interested witnesses. Arid it will probably be found hereafter that many persons will petition for relief under the Act, who have subscribed petitions to the Legislature against such relief being granted. Those who contend for a Trial by Jury 'previous to the release of Debtors, should recollect that if they have charges of fraud which can be proved, they may indict for such fraud, and then the verdict of a Jury would result. But if a Jury Ise insisted on its all cases, the Debtor should have the full betertSt thereof, as well as the Creditor, and such jury should t, y t lie fact of the debt being Gaeta fide due, as well as the and mode of contracting it, instead of suet' debt beleg milted on the unsupported affidavit of a Creditor or Claimani. It should, however, be an impartial Jury, not constituted solely of Tradesmen, as Creditors might probably wish, and which it might be difficult to obviate without specific pro visions. The Penal Clauses fie fraud, embezzlement, undue trans fer, and concealment, (as well as other instances of gross misconduct or injustice) being very severe on the Debtor, it might be well, as tinder the Battkrupt Laws, to qualify those several amid respective Clauses, by iuscrting the words, " and being thereof lawfully convicted upon indictment or infor mation," especially considering the existence of Statutes to punish whatsoever comes under the description of fraud. It has beers felt and urged as a great hardship, by many discharged Debtors, that their future property shouril in all cases he liable, which is no part of the provisions of the Batik• rapt Laws, if a certificate is obtained. Considering how much this enactment is calculated to paralize exertion, and to encourage Emigration, might it not be proper to exempt future property, in cases where the Debtor's estate pays a certain definite sum in the pound, or where a majority of his Creditors will certify in his favour for correct conduct, &c.? The dread of imprisonment for debt, under the old system, sometimes invited crime as leading to milder punishment, and it may be apprehended that the earnings of future in dustry being liable to anterior debts will excite idleness, - which is too frequently the parent of crime.
