RAC H E L.--A T- A L E.--
We were at a loss under what bead to class this ex-
cellent little piece, and had some thoughts at first of giving it
a place under the head of romance ; but upon second consi-
deration the book appeared to be too good for such an allot-
ment; and not knowing well how to, announce it, we have
mentioned it here as admirably calculated for female educa-
tbm. The story is simple, but forcibly instructive, and exhi-
bits, with great life, the contrast between affected sentiment
and the sensibility of nature. There arc also many valuable
remarks scattered throughout, on the necessity of cultivating
the art of pleasing, no less than of adhering firmly to the
Simplicity and candour of truth.7,--New Monthly Magazine,

pretended characters, and self-created titles,
plunder the public, demandthe-immediate notice
of the Legislature ; they are a common pest ,to
society, the scourge of credit, the bane of family
peace, and a disgrace to a, commercial, country,.
Whether they are ranged under the denomina-
tionof Sharpers, pretended Negotiators, desperate
Adventurers, speculative Refugees, collusive and
self-constituted Agents-or Impostors, their insitti--
oils and fraudulent practices should be curbed by
the wholesome application of legal severity.
To prove the mischievous and diabolical effects
of such illicit practices, it is alone necesslry that
reference be given to publications of proceedingis
at different places where the machinations of
ltd adepts in the beaten track of continued (rand
and productive artifice prevail. Such -character
ls
ought not to become the constant associates of
honest and unfortunate Debtors. For indiscri-
minate imprisonment, without regard to the
Moral character, is calculated to destroy the' great
policy and principle of all punishment, the retor
mation of morals, and the prevention of fraud.
is the chief business anti pleasure of the most
abandoned and depraved, to practice every seduc-
tive means for contaminating the principle of ho-
nourable meir, and reducing theta to the level of
vulgarity and baseness.
These remarks, which induce Erreflection as to the
impolicy of promiscuous intercourse in the gaols,
are equally apPiicable to the contaminating effects
necessarily consequent to the commixture of cha-
racters in common life, and 1 cannot help ex-
pressing an apprehension, that the continued as-
sociation of bad characters without the prisons,
in aid of the unprincipled within, has a great
tendency to render the operation of the insolvent
Act more baneful in its effects than it would other.

wise be.
Indiscriminate Agency produces inconvenience
and mischief to Society, is injurious to Creditors,
and detr;mental to Debtors. I therefore wish to
amnion all parties against an implicit reliance up-
on persons assuming to themselves duties which
they are not qualified to fulfill. I have chiefly
addressed myself to the Creditors and Commit•
nity, and I will now briefly appeal to the other
classes alluded to—l mean the Agents thenr-
slves, and the Debtors who employ them. 1 atm
aware, that amongst the former, there are some
duly authorized by their admission as Attornics,
to do justice to the latter, and that there arts
amongst these many of honest principle, well
disposed to do justice to the Creditors. In the
• quotation which heads this letter, my object is to!
caution these parties against a promiscuous inter-
course or an unguarded confidence, which must
. necessarily produce injurious consequences. If the
means of safety are pursued, the appropriate be-
nefit must be obtained ; and it must be evident to.
evei y rational mind, that probably at no distant
period, it such hints as I have given are neglected,
the consequences may be terrible.
The better to elucidate my meaning, as con-
cerns the interests of the confined Debtor, Iwould
direct his attention to what occurred in the Insol-
vent Court last week. An Agent employed by a
Debtor in the King's Bench was subpoenaed to
give evidence 'against him; an objection was
taken to such evidence, on the ground of his
being considered in the same character as an At-
torney, who could not be called upon to reveal:-
any of the affairs confidentially entrusted tohina as
a legal adviser. The Court over-ruled the ob-
jection, and the Agent was examined in hostility
to the interests of the Debtor. Had the Debtor
reposed his trust in a regular Attorney, such evi-
dence could not have been adduced. It therefore
results, as more advantageous, that the Debtor
should consult with and employ a regular Practi-
tioner, in preference to an Agent of the Insolvent
Court, most particularly on the ground I have
stated, and to which the case applies. With the
hope of further exemplification from ATTORNATUS,
as to cases within his knowledge, I trust the pe-
riod is fast approaching, which will crown our
mutual .endeavours with success, and be produc-
tive of lasting benefits to the community. It I
am fortunate •enough to secure the. attention anti
Stimulate the endeavours of more able advocates,
the utmost wish of my application to the subject
will be attained ; investigation will demonstrate
the absurdity and injustice of present practices
and illegitimate Agency; and rational discussion
will manifest the necessity of alteration and
amendment ; objections and abuses will be re-
moved, and wholesome improvements will correct
the injurious perversions of original principles.—
Mr. Editor, permit me to add, that tie distin-
guished imparti4ity of your Paper is the strongest
trait of characteristic MERIT in a Public Journal,
and as such I hope you will long maintain the DIS-
TINCTION ; but if, as in late instances, any of
your Writers should so far forget public decency
as to scatter illiberal aspersions and unmerited
disgraceful epithets, I trust you will not forget
the dignity whi,ll is DUE to YOURSELF, by inad-
vertently admitting ungentlemanly language.—
Irorry is Only tolerable when provoked by unme-
rited satire; scurrilous expressions should, I sub-'
mit, nerer le ALLOW ED in aid or CONFUTATION of
ARGUMENT. This to YOURSELF,—IO the objects
of my reproof I offer no explanation. I am really
at a loss to Conceive what DRUMMERS, OYSTERS,
or HALBERTS have to do with the Insolvent Act.

}TONI THE NIORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY

[Morning Chronicle.]

Letters..were yesterday received front Vera Cruz,
dated the Sth October, bat their contents are of
no interest. It appears that the Spanish licenses,
►►eeociated in London some time ago, have turn-
ed out extremely ill, and wilt in all probability
lead to lawsuits. A considerable quantity of re-
volwionary element exists in the provinces of
Aie\.co, hut with them ali,intercourse is cut off,.
inconsequence of the Royalists holding the only
pie t on the coast, Vera Cruz. This appears to
be the last section thet•will gain its independence;
hut according to the forward state of the rest,
that period cannot be far distant.

It is a curious circumstance that the American
Papers received yesterday should also mention the
arrival of Lord Cochrane at Margarita. It is sup-

posed that the vague rumour, which we yesterwly
contradicted in pointed terms, originated in the
arrival of the brig Imogene at Margarita, having
on board a naval officer, who ha 3 distinguiShed
himself in the service of Buenos Ayres, and who
no doubt would merit the confidence of Admiral
Brion ; but our own letters from Margarita, of the
Bth October, do not mention that any extensive
command bad been given'to
