STATE of the INSOLVENCY LAWS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
" It is very possible for a man to act dishonestly every
day, and yet never to defraud another of a shilling ; a
merchant who conducts his business partly or wholy
with borrowed capital, is not honest if he endangers the
loss of an amount of property, which, if lost, would dis-
able him from paying his debts ; he who possesses a thou-
sand pounds of his own, and borrows a thousand of some
one else, cannot virtuously speculate so extensively as that,
if his prospects should be disappointed, he would lose
one thousand two hundred pounds. The speculation is
dishonest, whether it succeeds or not: it is risking other
men's property without their consent; under similar cir-
cumstances, it is unjust net to insure. Perhaps the ma-
jority of uninsured traders, if their houses and goods
were burned, would be unable to pay their creditors;
the injustice consists, not in the actual loss which may
be inflicted, for whether a fire happens or not, the in-
justice is the same, but in endangering the infliction of
the loss. There are but two ways in which, under such
circumstances, the claims of rectitude can be satisfied;
one is by not endangering the property, the other, by
telling its actual owner that it will be endangered, and
leaving him t 3 incur the risk or not, as he pleases; those
who hold the property of others, are not warranted, on
the principles of justice, in neglecting to inform them-
selves, from time to tinle, of the real situation of their
affairs."—Dymond's Essays on the Principles qf Morality.
It will only be when intelligence and ability to
reason and judge are qualities possessed in a greater
degree by the commercial classes, that the com-
mercial code of this country will be based on sound
philosophical principles, and the public mind disabused
of the prevailing fallacies. The bankruptcy laws
somewhat, and the insolvency laws altogether, by the
late Act, are ruinous and demoralising in their prac-
tice ; based as they have been on false assumptions,
they appear to have no other consistent or rational
object in view, but, through the calamity of a parcel
of creditors, to take occasion, under pretence of seiz-
ing the debtor's wreck of property, to put the
whole, or nearly so, into the pockets of lawyers.
Our bankruptcy courts, whose function it is to
collect the miserable remnants of a shipwrecked for-
tune, charge some hundreds for the service, and then
distribute the few remaining farthings among the
claimants--the oyster is devoted by the lawyers, the
shell, with what few filaments of flesh may adhere to
it, fairly enough divided among the litigants. These
courts have encouraged and protected the offence"of
insolvency, but they should have had the same object
in view as other courts of law—viz., the prevention of
the evil concerning which they had jurisdiction, by
inflicting salutary punishments. In the early times,
when feudal lords ruled the land with iron sway,
there were not many creditors but themselves, and
almost the only debtors were their own stewards and
bailiffs. The practice on those who did not pay their
debts was then sharp enough (there was no false
humanity then abroad), although it might be a little
contrary to the principles of the Constitution to throw
a steward whose accounts were in disorder into
prison, without judge or jury, and there to let him
die. Successive regulations were made to modify
this practice. For a long series of years bankrupts
were liable to he hanged. In accordance with the
severe spirit of the times those wrong-doers were
treated with a wild and thoughtless severity, to
meliorate which has been the object of successive
Acts of Parliament, until the law, as now left, is di-
vested of its penal character almost entirely.
Lord Brougham has regarded the insolvent
as an unfortunate man, whom it is desir-
able to rescue from the persecutions of his
creditors. Availing himself abundantly of this kind
of sophistry, plausible but false—" That except on
rarest occasions the effects and not the person of the
debtor were needed ; greater power over the property
(of course only when it could be got at) being given
to the creditor, his position was apparently improved,
and thus has he been wheedled into the surrender,
now complete, of all power over the debtor's person ;
and so well has this feint succeeded, that when the
meshes of the most complex and extended trading
relations permeate the whole of British society, and '
when, after a long depression of trade and manu-
facturing calamity, affords all sorts of people who
are in money-trouble a plausible pretence to break
their faith, and crowd themselves among the few
really unfortunate insolvents—at such a time has the
Legislature removed nearly all the penal sanctions,
and left the creditor class, usually the virtuous class,
by the fact of their having capital to lend, almost at
the entire mercy of the debtor class, usually the non-
virtuous class, by the fact of their wanting to borrow.
By virtuous is meant, of course, the practice of in-
dustry to produce wealth, and self-denial to abstain
from entirely consuming it in sensual pleasures, or
from the risking it in gambling (or in the deceptive
language of commerce) adventures. This is the
moral training of the middle classes.
An attorney lately in a country town declared his
inability to pay one farthing on his debts of 14,0001.,
contracted with all classes of the inhabitants, from
the humble mechanic to the neighbouring gentleman
of fortune. The law has protected his person, and
his effects are all dissipated (or are made to appear
so) in genteel living. Another Bromley in a small
way. For him there is no punishment. The law
deems him an unfortunate man.
A London factor has a correspondent at Bury,
from whom he had just received and executed an
order, when he received information that the man
was meditating to sell off and leave the kingdom. He
sent a person instantly to Bury, found the man pre-
paring for a sale by auction, and in the act of un-
packing the parcel above referred to. He was asked
to pay—to give some account of his proceedings—to
return the parcel he was then opening, all of which
he refused, saying that the fresh goods would help
the sale. The creditor then applied to Judge Tindal
for a Judge's order, on the plea that he believed the
debtor was about leaving the kingdom. This the
Judge refused, and long, long before the period ar-
rived when by writ of summons the debtor could be
captured, he had sold off, not his own, but his
creditor's property, pocketed the proceeds, and was
on his way to America. The rogue escapes justice
on the speed of steam ships ; the law comes limping
after him at the speed of a spavined pack-horse, and
stops at the sea-shore.
There is a certain Baronet whose friends allow him
500/. a year, who owes various sums, aggregating a
heavy amount—his person is protected, his effects are
none, and his income cannot be touched.
There is a man living at Kennington who owed a
heavy doctor's bill, which he was liquidating by pay•
ing 10s. a week until the 9th current, when he
snapped his fingers at his creditor, and said he should
pay no more. In one short week, thousands of trea-
sure have been confiscated by the new Act.
The late insolvency law affords a most striking ex-
ample of the injustice of class legislation. Governed
by a landed aristocracy—directly in the Lords, and
indirectly in the Commons—these laws have been
adjusted to favour that class so wealthy and powerful.
Except in the matter of tithe and rent, the recovery
of which is assured by special laws, these men and
their connexions are usually in the condition of
debtors ; they of course desire that the condition of
debtor—one who can't or won't pay his debts—should
be as little invonvenient as possible. The law-lords
are parvenus, ready to do anything for the patronis-
ing pat and smile of the ancient nobility; they have
connived at this object; the mercantile men in the
Commons, not of direct aristocratic connexions, have
been quieted by an improved Bankruptcy Act. In
fact and appearance being rich, and conducting only
large operations, they have not known the relations
of, nor have they had much sympathy with, the very
numerous and comparatively little wealthy merchants,
factors, traders, and the like, whose transactions
coun.
in-
cludes still the larger share of the capital of t
- try, are affected solely by the insolvency laws, and
the result has been a state of the law which surren-
ders all healthy control over debtors' persons, and by
their persons an efficient control over -their effects;
the social marks of dishonour have been obliterated,
the foundations of commercial_ morality still more
undermined, and a " a nation of shopkeepers" encou-
raged to become a nation of rogues, sharpers, and
cheats. Chancellor Onenstein. might well exclaim,
" With how little understand ing is this i
world go-
verned I" While mankind find it to theirinterest to
be honest ; and while some are living under the sanc-
tions of a religion which teaches " to owe no man any-
thing;" or while others have enjoyed a virtuous edu-
cation and habits, or the still greater happiness of a
mind of primitive virtuous texture, let the laws be
even more vice-encouraging than they are, there will
be no reason to fear that our commercial confidence
in one another will be dissolved, or that people in ge-
neral will not continue to be honourable, and keep
their promises, however much they may be disheart-
ened by the success of rogues, or insulted by the pro-
tection given to the comparatively few whose flagi-
tious delinquencies are caused by their own idleness
and extravagance. But the national capital will con-
tinue to be deteriorated by the evil perversion, or by
the wasteful destruction, of many hundreds of thou-
sands of pounds annually ; and as long as these laws
dishonour the statute-book, the nation will be less
rich, and the citizens less virtuous, and the condition
, of the middle classes of society be rendered more and

In presenting to the musical woria—ih7;bove charming Polka
Quadrilles, whiclieverybocly may dance, by that emperor of Quadrille
Composers, Musard, It. COCKS and CO. respectfully beg to warn the
public against the many humble imitations to undermine those gems
of the ball-room by putting forth ephemeral compositions. Messrs.
Cocks and Co. are proud to acknowledge that at all the Courts in
Europe where the dance Is known, these Polka Quadrilles are the
favourites of the evening, and in many instances they have been
known to bp encored several times. The best English masters have
pronounced the above Quadrilles as the prettiest tunes for dancing,
and that they will become as popular as the well-known Lancers,
the Polichinelle, the Krakoviack, and La Ellie du Regiment Quadrilles.
Observe, order Musard's Polka Quadrilles.

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.
The meeting of the South-Western Railway Propric...
tors yesterday was very numerously attended. A very
lengthy report was laid before the Proprietors. It show-#4
a progressive increase in the traffic. The total carnitlgA
during the first six months of 1843 were 142,973/. 105.3 d.„
while those for the six months ending 30th June las',
amounted to 150,469/. 4s. Bd., exhibiting an increase oe
7,495/. 14s. sd. The aggregate expenditure daring the
latter period is 84,076/. 16s. 5d., and the amount avail-
able for division amongst the Proprietors, 75,174/. O.
out of which the Directors recommended the payment, if
a dividend greater by 2s. 6d. a share than that paid h 5
September last, making the present dividend at the rate,
of 325. 6d. a share, subject to the income-tar. This
dividend absorbs 74,607 Z, leaving a balance of 567/.05.2d..
The Directors have recently completed a revision of the.
rates for carriage of goods. The chief object of this:
would appear to be to render the classification of the
various descriptions of merchandise more simple *TA
more convenient to individuals sending or receiving nott's
by the railway, combined also with a reduction of charAe.
amounting on the average to 20 per cent. The rejec-
tion of the Epsom, and the passing of the Salisbury line,.
is to result in the amalgamation into 6,000 shares, of 40/.
each, of the Scrip Eighths, created in pursuance o' the
resolution of the special meeting of the 30th December
last. This Scrip will be ;forthwith called in. The.
Directors intend immediately to act upon the pouters
of the Bill recently passed for improving the /snap.-
elms station, and possess themselves of the neces-
sary land for this purpose. To effect this they in-
tend to create and dispose of 250 shares of 50/. each, that
number and amount of shares being equivalent to the 2,000,
Scrip Eighths reserved for issue by the Lirectors at.
their discretion. The Directors were empowered to
take the necessary steps for procuring Parliamotar:s
power for the Company, solely or jointly to constet e!
branch railway to Epsom, and to establish a connecrtati
between the South-Western, the Brighton, and South-
Eastern lines ; to borrow on mortgage or bond 20,0001,,
under the powers of the Salisbury Branch Act ; to take.
the necessary steps to obtain Parliamentary authority
to make a railway from Basingstoke to Nowbury,land to.
I effect a connection between the South-Western and.
Great Western lines ; and to obtain further Parldft-
mentary power for the Company solely or jointly to ex.-
tend the Gosport line from Fareham to Portsmouth and:
Chichester. The Directors were also authorised to take
into consideration the projected Dorsetshire lines, to
adopt such measures in reference thereto as they might
deem expedient, and to examine whether a terminus near-
Waterloo-bridge would not be advantageous, and to•
carry out such a measure if their examination should be
favourable. The report of the Directors was very fa-
vourably received by the Proprietors.
The Directors have entered into an agreement with
Messrs. Cooke and Wheatstone, the patentees of the
electric telegraph, for working it on this ling. The pa-
tentees are to receive 1,5001. a-year from Government
for working it between Portsmouth and the Admiralty.
The agreement between the patentees and the Directors
binds down the former to throw in their patent right,
and to divide both the 1,5001. a-year and the profits
arising from working the patent with the Directprs, who
are to grant the use of the line. The Directors propose,
besides the Admiralty line of telegraph, to work one,
for the use of the Company, and another for commercial
purposes.

TRADE WITH PORTUGAL.
60, Mark-lane, London, Aug. 14, 1844.
My Lord,—We are induced to take the liberty of ad-
dressing your Lordship on the following subject .
The wine trade, in which we are engaged as Oporto
merchants, has but recently recovered from a long and
severe:depression, caused by the protracted negotiations
with Portugal respecting a mutual reduction of duties,
and your Lordship will be aware that the revenue sus-
tained considerable injury in consequence of that de-
pression.
We are now threatened with a return cf this inju-
rious suspension of our trade, and apparently without.
that valid reason for it which existed in the former
instance.
For some time past, the Lisbon correspondents of
the press have weekly assured their readers, that a re-
duction of duties between Great Britain and Portugal
may now be looked on as certain. We cannot but feel
the injury which has been, and may again be inflicted on
our trade, by statements of this nature, and we, there-
fore, request your Lordship to excuse our taking th© li-
berty of inquiring, whether or not a renewal of the com-
mercial negotiations with Portugal may be considered
probable.
We have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's
most obedient servants,
(Signed) COCKBURN BROTHERS and CO.
The Right Hon. the Earl of Aberdeen,
Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs.

Gentlemen,--I am dirEecotreedignb-yoffithcee'EAarl o 22,
to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the ]4th
AberdeenlB44
.
inst., in which you request to he informed whether
commercial negotiations are likely to be re-opened with
Portugal, and I am to state to you in reply, that his
Lordship is not aware that there are any grounds fur
supposing that such negotiations will be renewed.
lam, gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) CANNING.
To Messrs. Cockburn Brothers and Co.

EXTRAORDINARY SERIES OF CALAMITIES.—Mr.
Higgs, yesterday, held an inquest at the George, George-
court, Strand, on the body of Joseph Marshn3an, tailor,
of George-court, Strand, aged 53, who hanged himself
on Thursday, while in a state of insanity produced by
calamities that rarely fall to the lot of one man. It wa4
stated that he had been affected iu his mind ever since
the decease of his wife, who was accidentally burnt to
death in St. Martin's workhouse about nine months ago.
The day after that one of his sons, who was on board
the Marine School ship, at Blackwall, fell from the
mast head, and was killed on the spot. But a week or
two following he sent another son with some work to
Regent-street, and while he was on his way there he
was run over by a cab, and carried home dead. A third
child fell down the steps in George-court, and fractured
its skull, from the effects of which it ultimately expired.
There are seven children now living, several of whom
have lately been suffering from rheumatic fever, caused
by the dampness of the house in which they live. The
unfortunate deceased, borne down by this accumulation
of heavy afflictions, would wander for miles about the
country, he knew not where nor why. On Friday he
left home, and walked all that day and Saturday, and
at night made a bed of some hay at Barnet. He then
got into the town of Hertford, where he slept, and then
walked home. Ho could give no reason for this, but
said he knew he was out of his mind. It was said ho
had not eaten three pounds of meat since his wife's
death. The jury said there could be no doubt in the
case, and returned a verdict of Insanity."
MURDER OF A WIFE AT RICIINIOND.—Yester-
day morning information was received at the different
metropolitan police-stations that a man, named William
New, a shoemaker, residing in the Marsh-gate-road,
Richmond, had murdered his wife, by stabbing her in
the side with a carving knife. It appeared that, about
seven on Thursday night, they quarrelled, when the
husband seized a carving knife and plunged it into his
wife's side, and immediately made his escape. She was
found by the neighbours insensible from loss of blood,
and died about half an hour afterwards. No trace of the
wretched husband has as yet been discovered beyond the
following fact :—About eight o'clock the same evening,
as Mr. G. Morris, blacksmith, of Shepherd's-bush, was
proceeding along the Uxbridge-road, at Notting-hill, on .
his return home, he met a man who asked him what time
it was; and on Mr. Morris telling nim it was eight
o'clock, he said he had then come from Richmond in an
hour; that the police had entered the house by the front
door as he had left it by a back window; and that if he
was found he should be transported. Mr. Morris thought
the man was mad, and permitted him to pursue his course
towards Paddington. The following is a copy of the
description of William New, which has been circulated
by the police:—He is about 27 years of age, sft. sin. or
bin. high, dark brown hair, fair complexion, grey
eyes, stout in person, dressed in cord trousers, old shoes,
an old brown cloth waistcoat, brown cloth cap without
a peak, and had no coat or jacket on; he is a shoemaker
by trade. The police are making active exertions to
secure him.

character of
evi-
dently derived from facts—fiction could not speak to the
heart as these do—render the narratives of the severe/
clergymen, who are supposed to give the strange eventful
histories of their progress through life, replete with
varied interest. They cannot be read without creating-
sympathy for " the cares, the fears, the pains, the joys,
which are experienced by the clergy of the National
Church. Certain downy doctors and rubicund rectors
also come in for a fair share of ridicule, and occasionally
still severer reproof. There is a sufficiency of love pas-
sages to interest the fair sex; enough of caustic humour
to gratify bachelors; and of prudential maxims to please
mamas and papas. The " widows" are hit off to perfec-
tion, and are sure to please every one.—Globe.
ACCIDENT TO THE BATAVIER STEAM-sinr.---Tbe
Dutch steam-vessel Batavier, Captain Dunlop, which
was due from Rotterdam at the St. Katherine Steam-
packet-wharf at four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
did not arrive, and no intelligence had been received of
since
her up to Thursday evening. Information has _
reached the wharf that, shortly after the departure of
the vessel from Rotterdam, she by some accident got
aground off the Dutch coast, and it was ultimately found
passengers and
to be necessary to land the whole of her
cargo, which comprised a considerable number of horned
cattle, in addition to a quantity of fruit and vegetables,
of which articles a considerable quantity has been
brought by her from Holland for several weeks past. The,
immediate cause of the accident is at present unknown.
The commander of the Batavier, Captain Dunlop, has
been engaged in the Rotterdam trade for a considerable
period,
and the vessel has hitherto performed the royao
