Let us, as men possessing common prudence, take warning from the distractions consequent on change, and by so guiding our every action render it in all absolute essentials perfectly unnecessary. But it may be said—from the peculiar construction of the human mind, and trom the progressive action of the times—change is abso lute. This we readily allow in consequences, but where fundamen tal principles are correct, change is needless, although we grant the modes of carrying them out may vary. Take, for instance, the fundamental principles 'upon which E. MOSES and SON have established, carried on, and still maintain their gigantic project of still becoming Universal Tailors, Hatters, Hcsiers, Boot and Shoemakers, and General Outfitters; and when their unbounded success is considered (a success which has had ho limit except_ that which time itself invincibly opposes, and which limit time itself will ultimately remove), surely, as far as E. MOSES and SON are concel ned - change is needless. The fundamental prin ciples upon which E. MOSES and SON started, were to bring large capital and sound judgment into the markets, and so to buy at the cheapest rate; to make enormous sales and no bad debts, and so to sell at the cheapest rates ; to employ first rate talent in all the ope rative departments, and se to gain and keep an immense connexion ; and should perchance a caprice supervene, without argument, meet it by exchanging the purchase, or should circumstances require a return of money, without quibble or equivocation to afford a ready compliance. Surely, then, as far as E. MOSES and SON are con cerned—change is needless. As Tailors, that E. MORES and SON have carried out their prin ciples, the immense mass of their supporters, who are as regular in their patronage as the seasons in their approach, amply prove. Surely, then, with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. As Hatters, they have' studied every combination of use and beauty, and rendered a good. Plat attainable by everybody. Surety, then, as Hatters, with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. As Boot-makers, E. MOSES and SON have powerfully, perma nently, and deservedly got the lbngth of the foot of the public at large, as they have accomplished what has never been before at tempted ; they have culled from England and from France the choicest products of the trade, and by a happy union, have produced a boot, the world's admiration and the world's envy. As Boot makers, then, with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. But all honour to the ladies and honour to those who study their comforts, their pleasures. Who so eminently has done this as E. MOSES and SON ? Come, then, judge for yourselves ; let there he no vain-glorious boasting; crown them wan the wreath of Fame mane trebly precious by your touch; see their Riding Habits, their Shawls, their Hosiery, their Mantles, their immense stock of Furs, the tribute of all climes ; notice that by exertion, by industry, by skill, and by moderation in price, that they have placed them within the reach of all; and then you will unhesitatingly declare, that, as ladies' men so far as E. MOSES and SON are concerned—change is needless. Change, then, is needless, because the principles which have ' placed E. MOSES and SON in the proud, the enviable position they occupy, shall be still continued to keep them there ; and, as it has ' been ably said, that the best sense is common sense, which the pub lic possesses in abundance, is it matter for surprise that it is uni versally proclaimed, loudly and strongly, that so far as the patron age extended to E. MOSES and SON—change is needless. Shippers, captains, and the trade are respectfully informed, that the great inconvenience of being attended to In a retail shop is for them entirely obviated, as their immense mass of well-stored whole sale warehouses are entirely distinct from the retail departments, and the wish, the will, and the means shall, as they ever were, be still devoted to :heir interests. Notice.—Wanted, several youths as cashiers. Apply by letter. A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application. Notice.—The Fur and Shawl Departments are now replete with very novelty of the season. Observe.—Any article purchased, either ready-made or made to measure, if not approved of, will be exchanged or the money re turned. Caution.—E. Moses and Son regret having to guard the public Against imposition, but having heard that the untradeamanlike false hood of being connected with them, or it is the same concern, has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state they have no connexion with any other house in or out )f London, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 44, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating. London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 503, New Oxford-street, 1,2, end 3, Hart-street, all communicating. Bradford " Yorkshire" Branch, 19, Bridge-street. Sheffield Branch, 36, Fargate. Tailors, Clothiers, llatters, Hosiers, Furriers, Root and Shoe makers, and General Outfitters for Ladies and Gentlemen. The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset Sa turday, when business is resumed till Twelve o'clock. , APPETITE AND DIGESTION IMPROVED.

SPORTING NOTES. No. XVIII. THE DONCASTER SPRING MEETING. " Throw up a straw, and you'll see which way the wind blows."— Old Proverb. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—Rather too late yesterday evening for publishing, I discovered (what I remarked was dubious in Note No. 18 in the morning) that the British Yeoman was not likely to figure in the Derby Steeplechase • and: I also find that the Tipperary Boy is by no manner of means a certain runner; this leaves " the money" mare, Miss Collingwood, at the top of the tree in my estimation, with Trust-me-not in the second place, and Ben Lomond in the third; but, as this notice will be almost too late for any useful purpose, appearing in print, as it will do, about the same time as the race is being run (halt -past three), I will not advert to it any further; it may, however, be useful to some of the " late birds" in the market, and may ease the minds of some of the highly nervous dabblers in their uncertainties; uncertainties i'faith ! they are the greatest we have in more than the cemmon sporting acceptation of the word, except to certain select parties who get up those queer caprioskies that have been so numerous this winter, and which will eventually lead to the downfall of steeplechasing, for the public running of the majority of the animals engaged in these races is no criterion whatever to judge by, money, money, and onli o rnone,y,„being the true criteria! as witness the Vain Hope, and other instances too numerous to mention ; unlike the flat-race department, where the horses and the stakes are on the whole more valuable, and the proprietors of the animals engaged men who boast of a higher standard of honour; though, mark you, I do not say but what there are as honourable men in the steeplechasing. as there is in the flat-racing department of the turf, but on the whole, they are not of that high caste, either horses or men, in two necessary requisites which I need not name, in the former as they are in the latter department of the sport ing world. There are, of course, exceptions to all rules, and I do not intend to particularize. Some weeks have elapsed since I last commented on the movements in the _ . CAPITAL-500,000/. The WITHDRAWAL TABLE of the Society affords to the As sured the greatest possible present and prospective advantages that can be conferred by Life Assurance. On this Table the Assured is entitled, at any time, to receive at interest an immediate advance, to the extent of one-half the amount of the paid annual Premiums, without security, personal liability, or deposit of the Policy, but by simple endorsement thereon ; or the half Premium may be with held during the whole continuance of the Policy. Also, in the event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the Policy, on its surrender one-half of the annual payments will be returned by the Society. Lapsed Policies may be renewed without fine, on proof of health and payment of arrears of Premium without interest. Notices of Assignment of Policies registered and acknowledged, so as to make them available as securities in the hands of third parties. No Entrance Fees or any other charge beyond the Policy Stamp. The present nnual income of the Society from Premiums is 63,0001.; tne amount covered by the Policies of the Society is 1,781,580/. ; and the reserved profit, applicable to future bonus to the Assured, amounts to 82,4541. ss. 6d. At the last annual inves tigation, reported in May; 1850, the bonuses declared to the As sured were, the option of a return of 15 per cent. on their Premiums in cash, or a reversionary addition to the original sum assured by each Policy varying from 20 to 65 per cent.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and S Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ara—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insarers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate tenns. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause. Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents. t National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. * Equitable Fire t • Both Offices• CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 2, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, , LONDON The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL LEICESTER-SQUARE MEETING of the P . roprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 281:I1.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the let of June, 1249, and the 31st of May, 1950, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125, 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. I Id. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. 11s. 104. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects. REPORT of the DIRECTORS to the ORDI NARY GENERAL MEETING of MEMBERS of the ENGINEERS, MASONIC, and UNIVERSAL MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 1850 . The Directors have to report that during the year 1850 392 Pro posals for Assurance have been submitted to the Board, of which 323, assuring the sum of 85,5251., and producing Annual Premiums to the amount of 2,562/. 15s. 5d., have been completed. The Directors have deemed it prudent to decline 31 Proposals for the sum of 14,8001., and 38 for the sum of 15,1001. stand over for the completion or further consideration. The number of claims from death during the year has been five, and the amount paid upon these, and upon the claims which arose in December. 1849, is 2,2501. In all cases, when requested by the re presentatives, immediate payment has been made, subject to the usual discount. There are not, at the present time, any claims upon the Society. The annual income derivable from premiums alone upon the 1,174 policies completed to the 31st Dec., 1850, is 10,0761. Is. 4d. The Directors feel greet pleasure in being enabled to submit this very satisfactory statement, which cannot but enlist from the public increased favour for the Society, and with the continued aid of the members must advance Its prosperity.

Upon proof being given that a party death by railway accident, the Company will pay assu red has met with his to his representa tives the full amount of his Policy. If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury. Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and on any railway in the United Kingdom.

Commodore Martin, with the frigate squadron, left Lisbon on Frid .5r morning, February 28, on a cruise. The squadron consisted of the Leander, 50, Captain Dacres, with the com modore's red pendant; Indefatigable, 50, C iptain i- mart, KH. ; the Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot; the Arethusa, 50, Captain Symonds; the , Dann Uwe, 24, screw-frigate, Cap tain Halsted; and the Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, Cap tain Warden. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Robinson ; and the Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain Gordon, were left behind—the former in consequence of some defects in her machinery requiring repair. ehe had broken the coupling of her screwshaft. The Arrogant, before she returned to Ports mouth, was very much infest d with rata, and great exer tions were made by her Majesty's rat-catcher to destroy them, but without effect. The squadron would have started on the 25th, but it blew a very heavy gale, causing such consi lerable surf on the bar outside, that it was not deemed advisable to move. On the 26th the ships unmoored, but did not quit until the 28th, as above stated. The cruise, it is reported, will extend so far as Madeira, and the ships will be absent for about a month. The seamen and the marine artillery belonging to the Hogue,_ 60-gun ship, Captain Macdougall, and the Ajax, 60, screw flag-ship, Captain Quin, together with the naval ap prentices, under their respective captains and other officers, were landed on Friday at Queenstown, and in the presence of Rear-Admiral Dickson, the Commander-in-Chief, were put through the various exercises with field-pieces, small arms, &c., in which they excelled to the satisfaction of the Gallant Port Admiral. Birkenhead, troop-steamer, Master-Commander Penn, and Hercules: store-ship, Master- Commander Fulton, arrived at Gibraltar on the 4th of March. Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Jones, with her tender, Bloodhound steam-vessel, put into Lisbon on the 27th ult., and would leave for the coast of Africa in the course of four or five days. They had hard weather in the Bay of Biscay, and the Sampson took her tender in tow, but this did not answer, as every hawser was carried away, and the bows of the ship were almost torn out. PORTSMOUTH, MARCII 10.—The Cumberland, 70, Captain Seymour, flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George F. Seymour, K.C.8., appointed to succeed Earl Dundonald on the West India and North American station, was paid advance this day by Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C.B. She will re-hoist Sir Francis's flag to-morrow, and sail on Wed nesday. The Penelope, 22, Captain Lyster, was taken out of the steamer basin to-day. She will be removed under the shears to be masted as soon as the Powerful, 84, is placed in ordinary. PLYMOUTH, MARCH I—Let ters received yestereay trom the Mediterranean state that her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain T. W. Carter, was to sail this day, the eth, from Malta for Plymouth, to be paid off. The officers and crew of the brig Kingfisher were paid off to-day at the Pay-office in the dockyard, and her sea men gunners sailed in the Avon steamer for Portsmouth this afternoon. The Vulcan and Acheron steamers are hourly expected. The steam-ship Megicienne is ordered to cruise seven days in the Channel to try her ra a of sailing. SUNDAY, 5 r.m. There is no indication of the approach of the Cape mail •packet Bosphorus, hourly expected here for some days past. It is possible that she may have been detained for urgent purposes by the Governor, Sir H. Smith. FALMOUTU, MAscx 9. Her Majesty's packet Peterel, Lieutenant Thomas Creser commander, has this morning ar rived from Rio de Janeiro with the Brazil mails, which port she left on the 12th of January. She brings about 6,0001. on freight, and Senhor Dionysius Verge and a miner as pas sengers. The intelligence brou g ht by this packet has been completely anticipated by the arrival of the Seraphina at Liverpool from Pernambuco, bringing four days' later dates from Rio de Janeiro. The Peterel has experienced very severe weather on the passage. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP IMPREGNABLE.—Since our last publication three f the officers of the flag-ship have been superseded, in consequence of having served the usual period of three years. First-Lieutenant Harry T. Veitch is to be succeeded by Lieut. R. B. Miller; Lieut. Spencer H. Pickard by Lieut. F. Hawkins; and Paymaster and Purser James Ozzard by Mr. Thomas Shanks, formerly of the Vanguard. The first officer we have nam e d, Li eu t. Harry T. Veitch, entered the service in 1830, and from that time (with the ex ception of two months) to the present he had been most most actively employed. We happen to know that he has earned the good opinion and warmest approbation of every officer under whom he has served —among them the late respected Admiral Sir Charles Paget, Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, Cap tains Sir Richard Grant, S r Henry J. L eke, Captain lAwrence, Captain A. Milne, and others of high standing in the service. During the three past years Lieutenant Veitch has evinced the greitest zeal in training the naval appren tices on board tte Impregnabl e , an d k eep i n g that fine ship in the best possible i order and discipline, by carrying out e ff ec tually the Admiralty nstrunior s and these of his gal lant Captain. As the son cf a mentor our veteran, who at tai ed the rank of Post-Captain entirAy by arduous services as First-Lieutenant of frigates during the late war, and as an officer who has given universal satisfactini to his superiors, we venture to hope that the First Lord of the Admiralty will w hich his activa and fa thful servi ces so em i nen tly deserve.— D e vonport Independent. grant him that promotion look favourably on his c laims, and MEETING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLICS OF THE LONDON DISTRICT.

They were met to protest against the Bill of the Government, and resolu tions in furtherance of that object would be proposed to them by gentlemen b etter qualified than himself to address them. Several resolutions protesting against the Bill were then proposed and unanimously agreed to, th e l as t of which was the following , ybY Mr. ENEAS MA.- DoNNEEL:—" That, while we conscientiously resist enactments which we know to be injurious and un warranted, we are at the same time perfectly willing to make large allowances for the adverse courses of others, who, either influenced by erroneous impressions or sud denly excited by au thoritative appeals, h ave un j ust l y assailed our sentiments, practices, and objects; and we wish that the mutual interchange of Christian charity, social confidence, and friendly neighbourhood will ere long be established between us and our Protestant fel low-subjects of all classes an d denom inations, solemnly pledging ourselves, as we now do, that no effort shall be wanting on our part to effect that happy consummation.

This invaluable medicine acts with such peculiar effect upon the system that the fluids arising from this direful disease are imperceptibly evacuated and wholly pre vented from any further accumulation. The distressing symptoms which accompany the complaint being thus dispersed, the sufferer regains buoyancy of spirits and a com pletely renovated constitution.

BETTING MARKET, during which period a marked change has occurred in the positions of many of the candidates for public favour. It is a true saying and a trite one, "Throw up a straw, and you'll see which way the wind blows ; " it is exemplified by the late moves in the betting world. There are certain persons in that particular sphere, whom, for the nonce, I will call the straws, though by no means "men of straw," by fol lowing whose speculations you may discover which way the winning wind blows; at least, as they are the representa tives of the various stables, their investments show you which is THE horse destined to run for the small change of the persons connected with the particular LOT they repre sent, which is going a long way towards discovering the winner; and, singular to say, most of these ambassadors commence their operations in the City, at the West End, or, in fact, anywhere but at Tattersall's ; consequently, it very often happens that THE horse of the stable for a particular stake, is in the betting in the City sometimes a week, occasionally a fortnight be) e it is heard of at " The Corner." It is in consequence of this Ihst I sha'l and do animadvert cccasionally upon the Betting Market, as the information must prove valuable to c untry if not to town readers. By referring to several of my early Notes this year, it will be found that the majority of the animals in the marke a for the ping Handicaps made their &Lilts in the City. One of the principal moves since I last touched upon the subject is the advance of Le gerdermain for the Northamptonshire Stakes, from twenties, at which price it was backed f.r a large stake come time since in the City, to seven to 1, taken freely at " The Corner" yesterday ; Cocktail, then in force at 8 to 1, has receded to twelves, and is offezed against at that price ; Cloth worker is in fore at fifteens; and St. Resale from 20 has sprung to 12 to 1; The Swindler and Nutmeg are occasionally inquired after, and backed at 20; nothing else in much ' request I I think Legerdemain and Nutmeg are worthy of support, and that The John O'Gaunt colt (whom Mr. W orris had better give a name to, as his pedigree is somewhat lengthy, say Duke of Lancaster) is well worth a long shot. One of my fancy nags (Cnseus) is absolutely first favourite for the Metropolitan at 12 to 1, the other two (Vampyre and (hstafette) are quoted 20 to 1 each ; Raby is firm at 12, Gil lyflower and Sunrise 15, and Vatican (who'll run well) and Sauter-la-Coupe at :0 to 1. For the Newmarket Handicap, again we have a fancy City horse (Recruit), who has suddenly sprung from the outside division to the front, more than 6 to 1 being diffi cult to obtain ; The Cutler is quoted 12 to 1, and Quasimodo 16 to 1. Grecian still remains premier for the 2,000 Guineas at 11 to 10 agst the field ; Newminster (who will give him his work to do) being backed eagerly at o to 1; Mountain Sylph colt at the same price. Bee T h eS h e Hunter,ffi e backed Sheffield and Rotherham t 6 h e t r o h 4 an f i or i t i h ai e ldi e Port ap i s s t a ak m e y s, st w er i y ll, di l fi t i. is said, bowl the others over easily. For the Chester Cup, Rhesus once more is firm at 10 to 1; The Italian was backed yesterday for a hundred at D 3 ; Wallflower is quoted at the same figure; Haricot, Montague, and the Black Doctor at 25 to 1 ; Lady Evelyn, steady at the same figure, and quite good enough, in my; opinion, ; to beat the lot; Nancy 25 to 30 to 1; Seaman (said to be a good thing) at the last-named price ; The Knight of Avenel, after rising again to twenty-five's, has disappeared, forties being refused; Sir Richard and Woolwich are marked 50; and Duc-an-Durras and the Prior of Lanercost 66 to 1 each. The field is very strong ; with the exception of Lady Evelyn I shall plunge among the fifties and sixty-sixes to find the first three or four in the race. The Derby, ex ceptions, remains in state quo. The Prime Minister is, as he with one or two ought to be, premier, at 5 to 1; Grecian at the same figure as before, 6 to 1; the Squire's colt in request at 11; had given at 12 ; The Marlboro' Buck, 25 ; Storm (whom I t l i u r given up as a bad spec, on account of his pins, is s l i t 40 ; work again) 30 ; Balsam° and Confessor (occasionally) Ariosto, same price taken eagerly, and, canal zest at hun several parties are actually nibbling with great dreds about that misnamed animal Lightfoot. at ha _ _. lf past one The Doncaster Spring Meeting commences it eli les fo on Thursday afternoon, with the willHurdleeaNac which nearly the whole of the accepter ; b Little Queen, and lug Psyche, 9st 41b; Tally-ho' lOst start, o m include Wharfdale Maid, list eacf o remast places;and, as I cannot A Ol think t very possible this four will occupy the es at present, I must take discover which way the money the running for my ig •.. 1 TALLY- 0 ••• -- 2 place g them thus— the and PSYCHE ... ..: ... 11 ...

REPORTS OF CASES ADJUDICATED IN THE SEVERAL COURTS OF THE COM MISSIONERS IN BANKRUPTCY, under the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act of 1849. Vol. I.—Part I. By J. W. M. Fonblanque Esq., of the Middle Temple, Barrister at Law. London : Butter worths, Fleet-street; Dublin : Hodges and Smith, Graf ton-street. The vast importance of a well-regulated and wisely administered code of bankruptcy in a commercial country is now fully recognized. It is essential that every per son about embarking in trade should fully understand the course which he must pursue in all his dealings acd transactions with his fellow-men. As a de..ler and chapman, he is invested with a new character. He gains facilities for obtaining credit—the very life blood of trade—that are altogether wanting to a private individual. The bills to which he may be a party, whe ther as drawer or acceptor, are supposed invariably to represent legitimate transactions relating to his business, which make them pass readily from hand to hand, until tney arrive at maturity. Ills occupation or cailieg, which renders him liable to the bankrupt laws, is the stamp or imprimatur which renders current that which might not possess the intrinsic value of other similar documents, which would be summarily rejected by any banker. He is thus enabled to carry on his business fairly and profitably, without the drawbacks or annoy ances that would otherwise be inevitable: the way to fortune is opened to him, and "confidence" is the magic key that opens the fastenings of the gate at the very threshold of his career. But in proportion to the incalculable advantages thus afforded, he is required to observe a strict and unblemished in tegrity. He must never for a moment deviate from the strict path of duty, never violate a single maxim of commercial ethics. He may be unfortunate, without any error on his own part; his reasonable expectations may be disappointed, losses may be incurred of such magnitude that he may be unable to meet his own liabi lities, but he can never be ruined so long as he preserves his " good name." With the reputation of an honest man, he will find himself exonerated from his encum brances, and enabled to enter honourably on a new ca reer, in which he will find himself supported by former friends and correspondents, who will evince an anxiety to renew business transactions with one who has passed unscathed through the stringent ordeal to which he has been exposed in seeking for his certificate. Under these circumstances, an accurate knowledge of the principles on which the several Commissioners act, who so ably and impartially administer the law, should be closely studied. It should be ascertained what ar9re garded as commercial delinquencies, to be visited with the censure of the Court, and which must leave a stain on the future character, and also what are the steps that should be adopted in those crises which are of con stant recurrence, and which a man must he fortunate, indeed, if he can pass through life without repeatedly encountering. A commercial man, however high his position, can never be certain that reverses may not oc cur; and he should, in all his transactions, so conduct himself that the entire matter may be laid bare and closely scrutinized, without danger of censure or re proach. And the requisite knowledge be can only obtain by an attentive perusal and mature consideration of the reports of the adjudged cases in bankruptcy. W e , therefore, anticipate for the excellent work now under notice a far more extensive circulation than usually at tends " a law book." It will not be restricted to legal practitioners, but will have a wider circle of readers, as it will be as cordially welcomed by bankers, merchants, and traders, as by the profession itself. The learned reporter shows himself to be in every respect qualified for the arduous task he has undertaken; we say " the arduous task" advisedly, for none who have not tried their hand at what to the uninitiated may seem per fectly simple and easy of accomplishment, can tell the difficulties that await the collater of authorised reports, which will be adoptvl.akd recognized as of weight and authority by the Court sid-this prac titioners. The greatest care must be taken to exclude all superfluous matter,6 state nothiti_ that is • 't realic of importance, and at tite same f : 4 4, .4a ."' y pan: or matter which could elucidate t • - :eiejigE blished. In these respects Mr. Fon. a -Las nently succeeded. There is not a single case reported which will not be valuable as a precedent, or which could safely be omitted. He is clear and perspicuous, telling distinctly everything that should be known to understand fully the grounds of the decision, and at the same time using no surplasage. The act of book making is totally disregarded by the learned gentleman. There is no amplification, on the contrary, he hes com pressed his abundant materials within the narrowest li mits. What, for instance, can be more concise than the de cision in "Re Smart?" Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque say s —" It is not sufficient that there should be books; they must be properly kept and balanced from time to time, so that at any time the real state of the trader's accounts may at once appear." One of the most important rules to be observed by a dealer is thus established in a few lines.
