BANKRUPT LAWS.

Mr. d. SMITH rose to move for leave to Wirt in a NI o
amend the Bankrupt Laws. He did not propose to retain albs
former propositions on this subject. A provision was made is
this Bill to protect the Commissioners in the discharge of their
important duties; another to prevent certain frauds; and saw
to enable unfortunate bankrupts to obtain thir certificates. lb
great object was, to obtain a due execution of the law as k sw
stood ; to punish the fraudulent, and to protect the honest Id
unfortunate bankrupt. He bad great reason to believe dutib
obstacles which were formerly opposed to this Bill, existed o
longer.—Leave was then given to bring in the Bill, which ire
done; and it was read a brat, and ordered to be read a awed
time on Friday next.

Lord W. BENTINCK moved an Address to his Majel4,

THE HERMIT IN LONDON continues to mite ill'
creased attention. It has been justly observed tt
there is nothing more amusing than a well-written work ,rn"--
and manners. It 4 to the mind nearly what the carnera•7l,
is to the eye ; it presents to us, in our closets, a piiture,_,l,"
external world in miniature, with all its moven:ents and
which we thus observe with less trouble and to more
than in any other way. Nor is amusement the sole tail":
productions. They may serve, if properly executed, wain
portant uses, and tend materially to ilenruction, correct's/4_7h
improvement. When we mix in the timed, we ere tool!:
taken up with our own "business and desires" to observe":
partially the conduct of others, but when this is rep:twit;
us as in a glass, we are in a fitter situation to apprealte
value of those objects for which the generality of mankind:To
lice their time and their ease, or It may be poolt44l*" 0
important. The Hermit iu London will, nn doubt,
station among the classical works of the saute ileoctirua "
have so lung adorned our libraries.
