MOSES' prime dress for son or sire, Is everything that we require. In MOSES' Clothes we way admire, All that a person cal desire. In vain does rivalry aspire To raise the summer garments higher, In estimation with the buyer. All competition must retire, Nor ever dare to be a vier With Messrs. MOSES, near the spire. No 2.—HATS, Ste. The famous Hats and Caps displayed At Messrs. MOSES' house of trade, Are really elegantly made. Many who near the shop have strayed, Admiring on the spot have stayed, The Hats of MOSES, when surveyed, Cast every other in the shade. Their shape is good, their nap well laid, From top of crown to edging braid, And when you view the prices paid, You'll never feel the least afraid, To lend E. M. and SON your aid. No. 3.—BOOTS AND SHOES. It is a fact which none deny— A fact on which you may rely— That MOSES' Boot and Shoe supply Stands foremost in the public eye. No matter how you test and try, You'll find these Boots and Shoes defy Whatever you may judge them by. A pair I lately bought, and I, Am very glad I went to buy, For not a fault can I descry ; They suit alike both wet and dry, And raise the Mart of MOSES high. No. 4.—HOSIERY, SHAWLS, &c. The Shawl and Hosiery Depot, Whose numbers you will find below, By MOSES is conducted so, That thousands are induced to go, Their lib'ral favours to bestow. From what I've prov'd myself I know That, let you wander to and fro, You'll never meet with such a show, I therefore trust you'll not be slow In buying goods for prices low ; For much to MOSES do you owe As instanced at their famed depot.

PR 0U T, 229, STRAND. i Sir,— " No. 208, Piccadilly, London, October 19, 1847. It is now three and a half years sinc e I was sore ly afflicted With Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced lie to try 2.11 the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since Which I have bad no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know hew to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient bumble servant, The above testimonial is a further "MICHAEL NASM Y TH.”proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic which afford speedy relief to thou afflicted With gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tie doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIIt'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to theta a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past *l' present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head Cr face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete Safety of this Medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many Bratefai evider ces (tits benign influence.

N°.17,664.] LONDON, MONDAY E G THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS OF COLONIZATION, EMIGRATION, AND PENAL ARRANGEMENTS. Just published (with a Map by Wyld, Charing-cross), LETTER from Major Robert Carmichael- Smyth to his . Friend, the Author of " The Clockmaker," con taining Thoughts on the Subject of a British Colonial Railway Com munication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, at the same time assisting Emigration and Penal Arrangements ; concluding with a few Remarks on the Grand Canal and Railway Project of Lieut. Henry Millington synge, of the Royal Engineers. Published by W. P. Metchim, 20, Parliament-street. Sold also by Simpkin and Marshall ; Ridgway, Piccadilly ; Wilson, Royal Ex change ; Saunders, Charing-cross ; and R. Folthorp, Royal Library, Brighton. Concluding paragraphs from the article in the HISTORIC TIMES of the 23d of - February, on the Missing Arctic Expedition. " This brief sketch of Arctic discovery may serve to remind our readers of its progress to the present time, and prepare them for further discoveries, while it sufficiently illustrates our estimate of the national character that in about fifteen years the iee-bound coasts of a continent extending 110 degrees of longitude, i.e., as wide as Asia, and twice as wide as Europe, has been traced by land and sea, and its interior traversed in every direction. It cannot, however, be doubted that the same amount of energy and capital thus employed might have joined the Atlantic and Pacific by a path available for commercial purposes, united the west with the east, poured the wealth of the latter into the coffers of our merchants,' and spread reli gion and civilization to the most remote corners of the globe." Extracts from THE SUN, 16th February. " According to the scheme disclosed in this remarkable pamphlet, mails, mercharidize , and passengers might be perpetually conveyed to and fro between England and her colonial territories in the two hemispheres without having to traverse the roads of Continental Europe (which roads might be rendered impassable at any moment by the outbreak of a general war), and without the necessity of having to double either the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn, where the seas are as tempestuous as the voyages are circuitous; and the intercourse between Great Britain and her most distant and scattered possessions would not only be by this means less liable to interruption, but it would be infinitely more rapid, and, in every respect, more convenient. The proposed line of railway. would link together the two oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic ; it would stretch in a direct line across our colonies in North America; it would commence at Halifax, in Nova Scotia, and would terminate at Frazer's River, pouring into the Gulf of Georgia ; it would com municate by steam-vessels with the ports of the United Kingdom in one direction, and in the other would promote a continual inter change of commodities and intelligence with Pekin, with Canton, with Australia. with New Zealand, with the Spice Islands, with Ceylon, with Madras, and with Calcutta. " The North American Railway from the Gulf of Georgia to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, running from Nova Scotia by St. John's through New Brunswick, across the St. Lawrence and Otawa, tra versing Upper Canada along the shores of Lake Huron and Lake Su perior, through the dominions of the Hudson's Bay Company to the south of Lake Winnipeg, over the chain of the Rocky Mountains to the coast of the Pacific confronting tke Island pf Vancouver—this enormous line of railway would then be the first substantial em ployment of that felicitous fact which has been intimated in the ex pression that the shores of the Pacific constitute the end of the West and the beginning of the East.' " It would form the great link required to unite in one powerful chain the whole English race.' It would penetrate the enormoun bar rier of the Rocky Mountains. It would, in a particular manner, bind together the interests of England, of the Hudson's Bay Com pany, and the Canadas. It would present a magnificent field for the employment of gangs of convict labourers—criminals who by clear ing and enclosing lands, by constructing roads, and building bridges, would be withdrawn from the diabolical contaminations of the penal settlements, and would, unconsciously be instrumental in for warding the grand labours of civilization. " It would pass through regions 'rich in mines of silver and copper,' such as the vicinity of Lake Superior. It would draw into use the abundant timber of the Oregon, the plentiful coal of Vancouver's Is land, the iron, lead, and tin, the granite, slate, and sandstone, the oolites, the cattle, wool, hides, and tallow, the salted meat, the beef, the pork, the wheat, the barley, the Indian corn, the apples, and the rest of the nutritious vegetation which now flourishes uncon sumed in the lengih and breadth of the North American Continent. " Such is the noble project of a Colonial railway suggested by this patriotic pamphleteer." Extract from THE SUN, 13th March. "On the 16th of February we directed public attention to a pamphlet, in the form of a letter, addressed to Judge Halliburton, the immortal " Clockmaker"—a pamphlet in which a magnificent scheme is proposed for the cennsxien of the Pacific and the Atlantic by a railroad running through our North American possessions, through the Canadas, and through the territories of the Hudson's Bay Company, beginning at the harbour of Ha- Max, near Newfoundland. and terminating on Frazer's River, opposite Vancouver's Island. Since then, it will have been observed by our readers that the author of that remarkable pamphlet, Major Robert Carmichael Smyth, has addressed a letter to ourselves, in which he disclaims any of that dogmatic egotism which is generally supposed to actuate the projectors of such colossal enterprises. The pamphlet of Major -myth, previously printed for private circulation, and written without any signature upon the title page, has, subsequently to the appearance of our re marks on the 16th ult., been published in a complete and well digested form, accompanied by an illustrative map from the hand of Mr. Wyld, the geographer. Now, that the plan may be regarded as fairly before the public, we cannot but take this, the earliest oppor tunity, of reiterating our previous argument, that the noble scheme suggested by Major Carmichael Smyth is one intimately associated with the present condition and the future destinies, with the glory, the greatness, and the prosperity of the British empire." Extract from the BRITISH and ARMY DISPATCH, 16th February, before the Pamphlet was Published for General Circulation. " This pamphlet is from the pen of an officer of rank, whose long residence on service in North America has enabled him to offer to the pdblic some valuable suggestions on the subject of the extension of railway communication on that vast continent, in the further ex tremity of which new ground has lately been broken in the progress of civilization. The pamphlet purports to point out means for the employment of the people and capital of Great Britain in her own colonies, by undertaking a great national work, and thus opening the shortest road to the most extensive regions of wealth ever before at the command of any nation in the world (not regions of gold, but for commerce and industry), and opening to Great Britain a new outlet for the superabundant population of her soil, and new markets for her labour. With great minuteness and considerable local knowledge the author traces the means by which the far apart Atlantic and Pacific Oceans shall be made easily communicable, and urges that on that part of the line where the district labour and ca pital is sufficient, it shall be undertaken by the residents, and where population is too thin, the remedy can be supplied by English capital and convict labour. " The pamphlet is altogether well worthy of perusal by all who are interested in the progress of the great tide which is now so strongly setting ' westward.' " Extract from the BRIGHTON GAZETTE, Bth March. " One consequence of the recent discoveries in California has been the renewed and zealous discussion of various plena heretofore sug gested for opening a direct communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, instead of the present circuitous and hazardous route by Capo Horn. A general feeling seems to have hitherto prevailed in preference of a water line by the river and Lake of San Juan de Nicaragua ; and certainly, as compared with the Isthmus of Darien or that of Tehuantepec, there can be little doubt of its superior eli gibility. But we think that the views developed in the able pamphlet of Major Carmichael Smyth will go far towards effecting a revolution in public opinion. For the United States the route above-mentioned may be a sufficiently desirable one ; but the author of this pamphlet contends—and therein he will have at least every Englishman on his side—that such a communication ought, if possible, to be made within the limits of our own territory. " In a question like this the advocates of Colonization must feel a strong interest; for 'let England her Northern American, colonies, and the Hudson's Bay Company,join heart and hand, and with the great power of steam which it has pleased the Almighty to place at the command of man, there will soon arise a work that will be the wonder and admiration of the age—and such a mercantile and co lonizing road will be open to Great Britain, that at no future period (at least within the imagination of man), will she ever again have to complain of too great a reputation on her soil, and too small a market for her labour." This Letter is addressed to the Clockmaker,' and who will not echo the exclamation of that distinguished writer— ' Oh, squire, if John Bull only knew the value of these colonies, he would be a great man, I tell you—but he don't.' " Extract from the RAILWAY TIMES, March 18. " There is work to be done—wealth to be opened up—men's bodies and souls to be saved—the press teems with suggestions, plain, practical, and operative—yet not a ray of intelligence, of apprehen sion, not a sign, not an expression indicative of activity, escapes from the chief of the Colonial-office, or his fussy, yet do-nothing, subordinates. " We shall revert to this topic in our next, and lay before our readers the able, invigorating arguments of Major Robert Carmichael Smyth, in reference to the subject of a British colonial railway corn• munication between the Atlantic and Pacific.

LIVERPOOL, MAY s.—At our COrn. Exchange yesterday there was a moderately fair demand for wheat and lour, at prices barely equal to those obtained on Tuesday. There were several buyers from the interior. There was no change in the value of any other other article, excepting Indian corn, which was in some instances 6d per quarter dearer, and the Irish demand is unabated. There is little business going for ward to day In Indian corn and flour at yesterday's prices. No change in the value of other. articles of the trade. s. d. s. d Wheat, per 70Ib : English, white • • 7 2 to 7 Do. rid..

Oatmeal of choice quality having continued scarce, was saleable at a further improvement in prices. Con trary winds have generally prevailed during the week, to which cause probably the scanty arriviti of prodeee at Liverpool and Runcorn may in some measure be attributed, the only import of moment being about 7,000 barrels of flour and 13,000 quarters of Indian corn from the United States. At our market this morning both wheat and flour were in limited request, and might have been purchased on somewhat lower terms. In the value of oats no change was apparent, but on prime cuts of oatmeal we raise our quotations 6d per load. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY s.—The only feature worth notice in the West India market this week has been, that the first cargo of Barbadoes for the season has been brought forward, and about 300 hogsheads have been sold at very firm rates. Four or five thousand mats of Mauritius have been sold at full prices. Rums are quiet. The arrivals during the week have been, in the Harebell, from Mauritius, 4,852 mats of sugar, 10 puncheons of rum ; in the Maria, from Barbadoes, 557 hogsheads, 38 tierces, and 42 barrels of sugar; in the Sybilla, from Alauritius, 200 casks, 4,362 bags, 50 puncheons of rum, and 3,546 mats of sugar. GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MAY 3.—At our market to day the numbers were—cattle, 633 ; sheep, 669 ' • lambs, 40. We had a large show of very supe rior c a ttle , which met a dull sale at a decline of 6d on the top, and even at that fall the mar ket continued quite inactive, and a great number of beasts turned out unsold. Best ox beef, 45s per cwt • second, 40s to 42s per do ; cows, bulls , and inferior animals , 35s to 40s per do, sinking the offal. We had considerably fewer sheep this morning. Sales were brisker and easier disposed of, at an advance of id per lb. All sold. Best aged wethers fully 6d per lb. ; second, 5d to sid per ditto, sinking the offal. There was a good supply of lambs for the season, which sold according to quality at from lOs to 24s each.

BIELFAST, MAY 3.—Wheat is in good demand, and prices unchanged. Flour is a slow sales , . at about former prices. American, 24s 6d to 26s per barrel. Barley scarce, and sells freely at my quotations. Oats are in small supply, and demand dull. Oatmeal—The supply continues moderate, and prices unchanged. Indian corn sells slowly ; yellow, 8/ 5s to 8110 s ; white, 81 to 815 s per ton. Flaxseed sells freely at 32s to 35s for Riga, and 70s to 74s for Dutch. CORK, MAY 4.—The arrivals of foreign grain continue very moderate, and the supplies of that of home growth very trilling. The stocks of Indian corn in this port are rapidly running low. This week a large business has been done in the article, so that with the consumption that is going on and the fact (as we be lieve it, having the information from good a uthority) that the supplies coming forward wi ll f a ll far short of what was gene rally expected, we look for a further advance in the value of this grain. With reference to the future supply of wheat from abroad, as much will depend upon the continuance or non-con tinuance of the Danish blockade, we cannot, of course, speak with any certainty; but we incline to the opinion that, with a long continuance of hostilities in that quarter, we shall have wheat scarce and dearer. The prices of grain at our.market have undergone little alteration, but barley and oat sowing being nearly brought to a close the value of those articles, for seed purposes, tend downward. In prepared wheat we have little doing. In foreign also, until yesterday, when some dis position to make purchases was manifested, but a trifling amount of business was transacted. We quote the value of both articles 6d to Is lower than the rates of last week. Inferior wheat is inquired for, but is scarce. The stocks of prepared oats in store here are reduced to a narrow compass. Holders evinced much firmness, and there is little disposition to sell ex cept at higher rates. An offer of lOs 9d for a parcel of blacks having been refused, we may quote the value of the article I Is f.o.b. In flour the business doing has been quite in retail, and the advance established some days since has not been sup ported. Bakers are engaged in working off late purchases, and until they are again in the market as purchasers we cannot ex pect any decided improvement. In Indian corn, as we have previously remarked, a large trade has been done, and we may quote the article a free sale at 2s 6d to 5s per ton advance, the current prices being 81 7s 6d to 8/ 12s 6d, the latter figure however being scarcely obtainable.

LOTTERY OF MARRIAGE. --This new story of Mrs. Trollopo's is singularly replete with original characters illustrative of modern fashionable society. Among the most prominent will be found the fashion able young nobleman, the Earl of Wigton, who has just succeeded to immense possessions, and is consequently the centre of attraction, as well as of speculation; the pious lady of fashion, the Hon. Mrs. Maurice, whose spirit is influenced equally by the Blue Book and the Rubric; the fashionable clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Hart ley, the pillar of evangelism and the model of dress and manners; the poor lady of fashion, Lady do Laurie, and her stylish daughter, Cassandra, imposing upon every one as people of property; the would-be fashion. able lady and wealthy widow, Mrs. Codrington, who has left her Yorkshire estates in the hopes of obtaining a fashionable husband; and the noble widower, the Earl of Kington, who acts the part of Solicitor -General in behalf of his three unmarried daughters. From such materials, as might have been expected, Mrs. Trollope has produced one of the most amusing novels that has appeared for many seasons. SAILORS' HOME AND DESTITUTE SAILORS' ASYLUM. —The annual meetings of these excellent institutions for the moral and religious care and comfort of the sailor, were held at the Hanover-square Rooms on Saturday, Rear-Admiral Bowles, C. 8., M.P., was in the chair, supported by Rear-Admiral Earl Waldegrave, C. 8.; the Hem Captain Maude, R.N.; John Labouchere, Esq., &e.

The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amalgamation of it purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly renowned through out the world for its remarkable virtues in nourishing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair in its embryo state, accelerates its growth, cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff, sustains it in maturity, and continues its pos session of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redun dancy, to the latest period of human life. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; so that, in numerous instances wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, ROWLANDS' MACASSAR. OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by rein stating, in full plenitude, the permanent gifts and'graces of nature. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mus tachios, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operation. For children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine -comb unnecessary. Iho Patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, ansl the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous Tes timonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits.—Price Is. 6d. and 75.; or Family Bottles (equal to four small) at Its. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s.

BANKRUPT LAW CONSOLIDA- TION BILL. (From the Law &view.) This Bill has been amended by the select Committee to whom it was referred, and we believe has now, in its amended shape, the concurrence' of the Lord Chancellor, and will consequently, in all probability, shortly become Lord Brougham found the Chancellor differed with him on several of the propositions in his original mea sure. He found him opposed, Ist, to the title of Judge; 2d, to the proposed Court of Appeal; and 3d, to the very important chapter whereby it was proposed to give to the Court of Bankruptcy a jurisdiction to distribute the es tates of deceased debtors, whether traders or non-traders. It consequently became necessary for his Lordship to consider whether he would insist on these matters, whether he would debate them in Committee of the whole House, or at once yield to the wishes of the Chancellor, and thereby ensure the other parts of his measure, as to which, substantially, the Chancellor and he are agreed; and, under all - the eircitmstances, we are of opinion his Lordship has done wisely in adopting the latter course. The two first points on which the Chancellor was opposed to Lord Brougham were matters of very little moment; the first (the title of Judge) of absolutely none; and the second (the proposed. COurt of Appeal) was a proposition, the propriety and expediency of which, at least, might very well be qaestioned, seeing the conflict of evidence on the subject, and the very trifling number of ,the - appeals from decisions of the commissioners. The third (the chapter +relating to the distribution of the estates of deceased debtors) was a matter of much im portance, and, to a considerable extent, supported by the evidence taken before,the Select Committee. But here, also, as we have already said, we consider Lord Brougham *to have done well in giving way, more particularly, as regarding this, it is understood his Lordship has obtained from the Chancellor the promise of some mode of facili tating creditors' suits, retaining the jurisdiction in the Court of Chancery. Lord Brougham's amended Bill still contains much that is very desirable and greatly needed; indeed the cons olidation of the different Statutes relating to Bank ruptcy would alone render it a most important measure. As the Bill stands, it amends, methodtses and, consoli dates those statutes—it provides for the reduction of the number of London commissioners from six to four, thereby effecting a considerable saving—it gives to the commissioners original jurisdiction in all matters in bankruptcy—it abolishes the fiat, and introduces a more simple mode of procedure—it gives a power to examine trader debtors on summons—it simplifies the present Acts of Bankruptcy, and creates aditional ones—it more effectually protects creditors against fraudulent prefer ences and secret transfers, protecting at the same time all bona fide transactions—it affords increased facilities for arrangements between debtors and creditors, extend ing them to traders, this privilege having heretofore been confined to non-traders—and it confers a penal jurisdic tion for certain specified commercial offences; and, with respect to others, gives the court power to order pay ment of the costs of prosecutions out of a certain fund. These are the more important parts of the measure, and several of them were proposed in a Bill introduced by his Lordship in March, 1847. By substituting a petition to the court in lieu of the fiat now issued by the Lord Chan cellor, and giving to the commissioners original jurisdic tion in all matters, much useless delay and unnecessary expense is got rid of. We have efficient commissioners— men universally respected, and in every way competent to the discharge of their duties—men enjoying the con fidence and respect of the commercial community, and engaged daily in the administration of the Bankrupt Laws, and daily dealing with and deciding questions of immense magnitude, and yet constituted as the Bank ruptcy Courts at present are, there are matters trifling in importance, and, in many cases, of mere form, on which they have no power to decide, and as to which the suitor is compelled to go to the new substitute for the Cuurt of Re view—namcly to the Vice-Chancellor appointed to sit in Bankruptcy. This, also, was a matter proposed to be remedied by Lord Brougham's Bill of March, 1847; but his Lordship then only accomplished the transfer of the insolvent jurisdiction to the Insolvent Debtors' Court and the County Courts, the abolishing of the circuits of the Insolvent Court Commissioners, and the reduction of certain of the commissionerships in both courts. What we have been stating, however, is very absurd. But the absurdity of it is the least part of the affair — the expense is a serious grievance, as may be shown in a few words. Take, for instance, the case of an applica tion by a mortgagee for leave to bid at the sale of the mortgaged property. This is a matter of mere form, and would be decided by the commissioner, acting in the bankruptcy, in five minutes. But the commissioner has no power to do this; the mortgagee must apply to the Vice-Chancellor; he must prepare and file his petition; must make and file an affidavit or affidavits in support of it; must serve the assignees; and he must instruct counsel The matter then comes on for hearing; it is unopposed; but the assignees of the bankrupt's estate must, never theless, appear also—must also instruct counsel; and this farce, and others of a still more ridiculous nature, are daily being gone through ; and such was latterly, for the most part, the business of the Court of Review, and is now the sort of bankruptcy business transferred to, and decided on by, his Honour Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce. The appeal business—the business which alone ought to come before the Vice-Chancellor sitting in Bankruptcy—amounts to next to nothing. A return made to the House of Lords, for the five years ending 11th November 1847, shows the average number of ap peals from all the commissioners (town and country) to be under fifteen a year. Another example, of a kind similar to the one just given, is the application by a bankrupt trustee to prove against his own estate—another, that of an equitable mortgagee to be be proved such, and to have his account taken. The commissioners have no power; the bank rupt, or mortgagee, must go to the Vice-Chancellor. And a rather striking illustration of the absurdity of all this, happened not long ago. The mortgage was one of leasehold premises, the rent under 1001. The mortgagee had to present his petition to the Court of Review, to support it by affidavit, to instruct counsel, &c., all in the manner already described. The petition came on to be heard—the assignees did not oppose—they instructed counsel to appear, and consent to any order the court might think fit to make—and the Chief Judge, being well advised, made the common order, finding the peti tioner an equitable mortgagee, and referring the matter to the commissioner acting in the Bankruptcy to tyke the account. A more complete farce cannot be conceived. But the costs to the parties exceeded 201., and the pro perty was subjected to an additional quarter's rent from the delay consequent on the application; and the real work—the taking the account—came back after all to the commissioner. In the same bankruptcy the solicitor for a legal mortgagee (with which, strange to say, the commissioner is entrusted with power) made an applica tion to the commissioner (Commissioner Goulburn) to take his account, and make an order for sale. The amount was 2,0041. —the account was taken, an ordtr made directing the sale, and the matter completed, in less than half an hour, at an expense under 31.! But the very first proceeding in bankruptcy—the fiat —is. an anomaly. At present, before a petitioning cre ditor, or a trader desirous of making himself bankrupt, and delivering up his estate to be divided among his creditors can proceed a single step in the Court of Bail ruptcy (a court, by the way, instituted for the very pur pose of hearing such matters), he must first go the Lord Chancellor, and obtain what is called a fiat, to enable him to prosecute his complaint, which is issued as a matter of course, and altogether unnecessary; aid which, having been reported against by the Commis sioners of Inquiry of 1840, ought long ago to have been abolished. It is useless, and attended with unnecessary trouble, expense, and delay, and after all, if, when the fiat is obtained, there should, from any accident, happen to be an error in it—an error of even the most trifling nature—all the proceedings are stopped. The commis sioner has no power to correct it—he cannot go On. The petitioning creditor, or trader, must go to the Vice- Chancellor—must instruct counsel—obtain an order to amend his fiat—and must get that order confirmed by the Lord Chancellor—and the amendment is only made by filing what are called fresh docket papers (a new affidavit and petition), the estate being in the meanwhile endangered and liable to be swept away by judgment creditors. It has been said by certain opposers of Lord Brougham's measure, that the proposal to give the Court of Bankruptcy a power of imprisonment as a punishment for certain specified commercial offences, in the manner done by the Bill, is in effect an abolition of the trial by jury. This is a great mistake. Chapter 10—the chapter treating of offences against the law relating to bank ruptcy—leaves the punishment of matters deemed felony and misdemeanour, and also of perjury, exactly where it now stands (see Articles 314, 315, 316, and 317); and although Articles 319 and 320 give to the court a direct power to punish by imprisonment for certain offences therein specified, this cannot be said to interfere with trial by jury ; and those who allege tbat it does, alto gether foreet both the present state of the law in this respect, and the imperfections in it which the articles aro intended, and in our opinion are well calculated, to remedy, This will appear by an examination of these articles. ART. 319. If at the sitting appointed for the last examination of any bankrupt, or at any adjournment thereof; or at any sitting or adjourned sitting for the allowance of his cer tificate, it shall appear to the Court that the bankrupt has been guilty of any of the offences hereinafter in this article mentioned, it shall be lawful for the Court to adjudge that such bankrupt shall be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years. Provided always, that this article shall not take effect until after the expiration of six months from the commencement of this Act, and then only against such traders as shall have been ad judged bankrupt on petitions for adjudication under this Act, and for offences committed after the commencement of this Act. List of offences within the meaning of this Act, and in this article above referred to. First—lf the bankrupt shall at any time after his bankruptcy, or within two months next preceding his bankruptcy, with intent to conceal the state of his affairs, or to defeat th e ob j ects of the law of bankruptcy,tir d have destroyed any book, p a p er, deed, writing, or other meat relating to his trade, dealings, or estate. Second —If the bankrupt shall, with the like intent, have kept, or caused to be kept, false books, or have made false entries in, or withheld entries from, or wil- [PRICE SD. fully altere 1 or falsified, any book, paper, deed, writing, or other document, relating to his trade, dealings, or estate. Third—lf the bankrupt shall have contracted any of his debts by any manner of fraud or breach of trust, or by means of false pretences, or without having had any reasonable or probable expectation, at the time when contracted, of being able to pay the same; or shall by any manner of fraud, or by means of false pretences, have obtained the forbearance of any of his debts by any of his creditors. Fourth—lf the bankrupt shall at any time within two months next preceding his bankruptcy fraudulently, with intent of diminishing the sum to be divided among his creditors, or of giving an undue preference to any of . his creditors, have paid or satisfied any such creditor, wholly or in part, or have made away with, or mort gaged, or charged any part of his property, of what kind soever. Fifth—lf the bankrupt shall at any time after his bankruptcy, and with the like intent as last aforesaid; have concealed from the Court, or his assignees, any debt due to or from him, or have concealed or made away with any part of his property, of what kind soever. Sixth.—lf the bankrupt shall have contracted any of his debts by reason of any judgment in any proceeding tor breach of the revenue laws, or in any action for breach of promise of marriage, seduction, criminal con versation, libel, slander, assault, battery, malicious ar rest, malicious prosecution, or malicious trespass. Seventh.—lf the bankrupt shall under his bank ruptcy, or at any meeting of his creditors within three months next preceding thereto, have attempted to ac T account for any of his property by fictitious losses or expenses. ART. 320. If at the sitting appointed for the last examination of any bankrupt, or at any adjournment thereof, or at any sitting or adjourned sitting for the. allowance of his cer tificate, it shall appear to the Court that the bankrupt bus been guilty of the offences hereinafter in this article mentioned, it shall be lawful for the Court to adjudge that such bankrupt shall be imprisoned for any term not exceeding one year; provided always, that this article shall not take effect until after the expiration of six months from the commencement of this Act, and then only against such traders as shall have been adjudged bankrupt on petitions for adjudication under this Act, and for offences committed after the commencement of this Act. List of offences within the meaning of this Act, and in this article above referred to. First—lf the bankrupt shall have put any of Ms cre ditors to any unnecessary expense by any vexatious or frivolous defence or delay to any suit for the recovery of any debt or demand provable under his bankrupcy, or shall be indebted in costs incurred in any action or suit vexatiously brought or defended. Second—lf the bankrupt shall at any time after his bankruptcy, or at any meeting of hi i creditors holden within two months next preceding his bankruptcy, have wilfully prevented or withheld the production of any book, paper, deed, writing, or other document relating to his trade, dealings, or estate. Third—lf the bankrupt shall during his trading, or for one year at least next preceding his bankruptcy, have omitted to keep proper books of account, or shall kept his books imperfectly, carelessly, and negli gently, and so as not to exhibit at the bankruptcy the real position of the bankrupt as to his debts and credits. Fourth—lf the bankrupt shall have omitted to take stock, and entered the same in a book or on paper in writing, once at least during every L ] years of his trading. Fifth—lf the debts, claims. and demands proveable under the bankruptcy shall, from time to time as such debts, claims, and demands were contracted, have so greatly exceeded the means of the bankrupt to provide for the due payment or satisfaction thereof (regard being had to his actual and expected property) as to show gross misconduct in the bankrupt as a trader in contracting the same. Sixth—lf the bankrupt shall, in his conduct as a tra der, at any time after his bankruptcy, or within twelve months next preceding his bankruptcy, have wilfully committed or suffered any act which in the opinion of the Court shall not amount to any offence above specified in this Act, but which, nevertheless shall appear to the Court to have been committed or suffered by the bank rupt in violation of good faith, or with intent to defraud or injure some one or more of his creditcrs. We certainly confess ourselves unable to discover in these any cause for alarm. On the contrary, we think they will work well—will ensure the puishment of the offences specified (which the law, as it at present stands, does not), and that the knowledge of their existence will alone operate to prevent the necessity for a resort to them. They are not to take effect " until after the expiration of six months from the commencement of this Act—and then only against such traders as shall have been adjudged bankrupt on petitions for adjudica tion under this Act—and for offences committed after the commencement of this Act. Surely this is a great improvement in the present state of things. As the law now stands, the Court has no power to punish. It matters not of what the bank rupt may have been guilty. He may have bought goods of A, and sold them next day to B for half their cost; or he may have pawned them, and disposed of the money so obtained in any conceivable manner; he may have done all this in a hopeless state of insolvency, or in contemplation of bankruptcy; or he may have com mitted any, or all, of the acts specified in Articles 319 and 320: it signifies nothing if he makes true discovery, the Court has no power to touch him. It may refuse, or suspend, the bankrupt's certificate, and withhold protection, and any judgment creditor who has not proved may take and imprison him. But the imprison ment is not for the offence or offences of which the bankrupt has been proved to have been guilty; it is for non-payment of the imprisoning creditor's debt—a debt which the bankrupt, if he has made true discovery, can have no possible means of paying. The thing, if done at all, is done in a round-about and a clumsy and incon sistent, ard, we will add, in a most undignified man. ner. A bankrupt may thus be punished, but if he be, the punishment is effected in a way by no means likely to operate to a sounder state of things, or to be commensurate to the offence ; it is unseemly, and, above all, it is uncertain, and may be altogether evaded. The opposers of Articles 319 and 320 desire a con tinuance of the present system, with this difference, that all creditors who have proved under the bankruptcy shall be deemed judgment creditors, and entitled to have a capias ad satisfaciendam on a certificate from the Court that they have so proved, and that they shall, on the ad journment of a bankrupt sine die, or on the refusal or suspension of his certificate, be entitled to take and im prison him on such capias. But where, we would ask, is the security that any such capias would be put in force, and what the manifest and all but avowed object ? We know, or at least have a strong suspicion, of what would follow. We fancy n e are not very wide of the mark in supposing that every creditor would do just that which was most likely to put something into his own pocket. Were imagine he would use his capias, not with a view to punishment for the commission of a commercial offence, but as a means of screwing something out of the bank rupt or his friends—leaving utterly out of view all con siderations of public policy. This is what assuredly would happen. And as to the " abolition of trial by jury," where is it now—and where would it be under the system propounded by the opposers of the articles we have quoted ? There is none, and would be none. The creditor takes the un protected or uncertificated bankrupt, and impri• sons him; and he may keep him in prison for just the same period as it is proposed by Lord Brougham's Bill that the Court shall have power to imprison him; but in either way there is no trial by jury. The one is, as we have already said, a round about, clumsy, inconsistent, and most undignified proceeding; the other, a direct mode of punishing for a particular and a specified offence, and one likely, we firmly believe, to place trading and commercial dealings on a sounder footing, and we con- sequently sincerely desire that it may meet with the success which we think it merits.

He has been repaid for all this labour by producing an ad mirable commercial code of law, which will be an endur ing monument to his fame. PENANCE IN A PARISH CHURCH. CAMBRIDGE, MAY 6.—The parish of- -Fen DittOn, about two miles from this place, has been the scene of most extraordinary and disgraceful doings this morning. In conformity with a sentence liAgly passed in the Arches' Court by Sir Herbert Joiner Fust, a man named Edward Smith, a gardener and the village fiddler, was to stand and do penance in the parish church for defamation. The suit was a cause of defamation, promoted by Mrs. Martha James, the wife of the Rev. William Brown James, Rector of Fen, Ditton, against Edward Smith, for having in the months' of Arpil and May, 1848, charged Mrs. James with the crime of adultery. The writ was brought into the Arches' Court by request from the Vicar. General of the Bishop of Ely; and no appearance being given for the defendant, the proceedings were conducted in pcenam. It was proved that Smith had at a pub lic-house in the village of Ditton, when - t‘ half drunk and half foolish," used the defamatory words im puted, and the averments in the libel having been proved, judgment was prayed end granted, to the effect that the usual penance should be per formed in the parish church of ,Fen Ditton, on Sun day, May 6. Smith was also condemned in ,eosts, which amount to 421. 17s. Bd. The subject has been the matter of talk in the county round since the passing of the sentence, and between the hours of nine and eleven o'clock (the time fixed for the com mencement of the service) the thoroughfares leading to Ditton from Cambridge and other adjacent places were crowded with passengers, and there were not less than 3,000 persons in the village before the bells had done chiming. The majority of these were, of course, members of the lower orders. The church yard was crowded, and as soon as the doors were open a rush took place into the edifice that would have disgraced the upper gallery of a theatre in London on aßoxing-night, and every available spot was occupied in less than five minutes. The screen was covered by men (bargees) sitting astride, the capitals of the pillars had each their human occupant, and Ditton Church, which is computed to be capable of seating 1,000 persons, was crowded to suffocation, the majority of the audience standing upon the seats, and eagerly fighting for the places which would command the best view of the place where it was supposed Smith would stand. The Rev. A. H. Small, of Em manuel College, Cambridge, was the gentleman who had undertaken to do duty for the rector on the occasion, and he entered the church exactly at eleven o'clock, followed by Mr. James and his wife, the pro moter of the suit. Mr. and Mrs. James took their seats in the rector's pew, and the service commenced. All eyes were strained to get a glimpse of Mrs. James ; and the officiating minister had no sooner commenced, than he was saluted with a shout of " Speak up, old boy," and a chorus of laughter • and similar interruptions were continu e d throughout. The hymns were omitted, by the special request of the rector, made to Mr. Small, at an interval in the service. Mr. Small, having concluded the prayers, entered the pulpit, and taking his text from the 7th chapter of Matthew, v. 1, " Judge not, lest ye be judged," proceeded to the delivery of an impressive discourse, interrupted by the breaking of win dows by the mob outside, cat-calls, whistles, laughter, and other unseemly noises, which increased as he proceeded, until his voice was finally drowned, partly by the noise inside, and partly by that outside, consequent upon a dogfight which had been got up in churchyard. The interest excited by this gave way in its turn to that excited by a cry of " Smith is coming," several times reiterated, and the struggle that ensued for places commanding 14 view of the aisle, up which he was to proceed to his appointed position opposite the reading-desk, baffles all descrip tion. At last his veritable appearance was announced by a shout from the parties outride, and a complete stop was put to the sermon. At this time there were several parties smoking in the body of the church, as the smoke was seen rising towards the roof, and a smell of tobacco was patent to all. The shout outside subsided as Smith entered the church, but was taken up by its occupants with three hearty cheers, clapping ofhands, whoops, and other discordant sounds. On his reaching the reading desk, the press was so great that he had to be lifted into the pew of the churchwardens on men's arms, and, when there, he was mounted on a hassock placed on a seat immediately facing the pew of the Rev. Mr. James. Nothing but this would satisfy the audience, and quiet was in some degree restored by Smith waving over his head the paper from which he was to read his recantation. Mr. Small essayed a continu ance of his discoure repeatedly, but was as often met by cries of " Smith, Smith, one cheer more for Smith," the said cheer been most heartily given, and Smith as often calling " silence for the minister." This uproar continued, and then Smith beckoned to Mr. Kent, one of the churchwardens, and asked him what was to be done, saying, " You see what a state the church is in; you know what is best; I am your prisoner, and will do as you think proper." - While this observation was making, a broom, which had been found in one corner of the church, flew across it, aad fell within a yard of the pulpit, then came a hassock, then another ; the pews were then broken, and the pieces were flung in all directions; the hassocks came thick as hail, being evidently aimed at Mr. Small and Smith, who, by this time, were standing close toge ther, the one reading and the other listening to the recantation, Mr. Small having closed his book, and descended from the pulpit for the purpose of hearing it, as the only means of preventing the total demoli tion of the interior fittings of the edifice, which at one time seemed inevitable. It was impossible to hear a word Smith said ; and it is doubtful whether Mr. Small did, for the reporter of this narrative was within half a yard of the pair. Mr. Small had no sooner left the pulpit than it was occupied by spectators, who maintained their position there to the end of the pro ceedings. At last a hassock struck Mr. Small, and at the same moment Smith concluded reading his re cantation, and moved out of the pew to leave the church. On his setting his foot on the stones of the aisle, he was taken up by the mob, amidst shouts of " Bravo Smith, well done Smith," and the most hearty cheers, and carried out on men's shoulders. On his way to the Plough, to which he repaired, he was called upon for a speech, and in reply, said to the immense crowd which was besetting him, "I am sorry I cannot ask the whole of you home to dinner, but lam a poor man." On his way through 'the village the inhabitants rushed out to shake hands with him, and on his entering the Plough the house was immediately filled with his admirers, who, consumed the remainder of the afternoon in smoking and drink ing on the green. Mr. and Mrs. James, on the other hand, were hooted on their exit from the church, and were fol lowed to the rectory house by a mob, some of the members of whom broke the windows with stones. The following is a copy of Smith's recantation " Whereas I, Edward Smith, having uttered an d spoken certain scandalous and f o t p h p e ro ß br e i r ous w s i 7 i r am s against Martha James, i o tt f o A n, im in igi t l l t i y e county of Cambridge, to the gre a tChris tianand religion, Brown James, clerk, rector of God and the scandal of the ofoF off en enc p e to the injury and rep roach of m y nei g hbour's credit and reput a tion, by calling her whore, and using other defamatory words of and against her—l therefore, be fore God and you, humbly confess and' acknowledge such my offence, and that I am heartily sorry for the same, and do ask forgiveness, and do promise hereafter never to offend in like manner, God as sisting me. Smith made a speech at the Plough, to the effect that he had formerly been under-gardener at the rectory, and that while he was there the body of a child was found buried in the garden, and the head, which had been severed therefrom, in another part. M rs . J ames h a d , h e sa id, accuse d him of bringing this body from the churchyard for scan dalous purposes, and the consequence was that he had been out of work ever since. 'The observation he had made with regard to Mrs. James was, he said, made in a tap-room when he was half drunk and half foolish, and was conveyed by a meddling constable to Mr. James. Throughout the day a collection was going on through the village by men with boxes, in May-day fashion ; the supplication being " Please to remember Smith," and the proceeds being intended to I be appropriated toward s the payment of his costs. t is doubtful whether the house of God was ever t he theatre for the enactment of a similar scene, and the whole affair has only tended to increase the original scandal. This morning Mrs. James was waited upon by the churchwardens and other gentlemen of influence in the village, who implored h er ( seein g the storm that was brewing) to absolve Smith. It is stated that Mr . James would have acceded, but that thri lady was not agreeable. Mr. Bell, M.P., we regret to state, Is likely to retire from Parliament shortly, on the ground of •ontinued ill health.—Gateshead Observer. 200 500
