The valuable Legacy of the Father

Of his Country
Just received, for sale by JAMES KENNEDY,
senior, Bookseller, King street,
Washangton's Valedactofy AddrejS.
A beautiful Miniature Edition, embeliish-
ed with fine Likeness of that truly great
Man, and ornamented with handsome Wig
nette Titlc--Price IS Cents half bound in
Morocco.
This admirable compendium of conslm.
mate political wisdom, from their best friend,
conveyed In style truly parental, should
render it aninestimablc treasure to every true
American as it must, if acted upon, have
oeen an infalliblf guide to national honor and
prosperity.
The sons OF Greece were animated to he.
roic actions by the imprisoned addresses Of
their orators and poets. The sons Of Column.
bia are more powerfully excited by the glo-
rious example, as we'll as by voice from
the tomb of the immortal Washington, to
the exercise of the duties of the christian and
the citizen.
1t is much to be lamentcd that this pre-
cious relique has not become the director
and guide of every American citizen, and
that it has become SO scarce. To supply this
defect, and to introduce it into general no
tice at this important crisis, the present edi-
ton is now offered to the public. The ad.
mirers of the departed hero and patriot, have
now an opportunity of procuring copies and
of making presents to their friends. And it
is presumed that parents and teaehers can
not make more valuable present to their
children and pupils, than this last beques st Of
their common political parent.

LAW REPORT.
Court of Chaneery, November S.

Mr.. Hart, in the case OF bankrupt peu-
ton appealed, from the commissioners, to
which it had been formerly referred, stating
that he conceived the appeal would be found
well warranted by the circumstances he could
adduee on behalf of his clients.
1t appeared, according to his statement,
that MS clients, Messrs. Wallis, Cooke, and
Hammond, had entered into kind OF part
nsrship with another firm, viz. Messrs. Lees
aud Rumble, in freighting vessel, called the
Kensington, for America. The cargo was
consigned to the house of Baker and Come
eys, in America and was duly disposed OF.
On settlement being had between Wallis &
Co. and Less and Rumble, from February
1901, to February 1908, including the trans
action of the ship Kensington, balance ap-
peared due to the former.-of 1901; but on
subsequent settlement, balance unfavora-
bic to them was struck, iii consequence OF
two unavailable bills sent by the American
firm.
Mr.HART contended, that the bills should
not have been brought into the account, IN
asmuch as Wallis and c.. had been only
concerned with Lees and Rumble in Ameri-
can dealings, in what regarded the ship Ken
sington and adduced seine reasons to shew,
| that if that plea were not admitted, at least
they should not bear so much as full moiety
of the loss sustained by the bills.
Mr.CooKE, for the opposite party, con-
| tended, that the connection between Wallis
| and Co. and Messrs. Lees and Rumble, was
so for as it regarded the present transaction,
complete partnership, and that the former
had every right to bear half the loss and
| referred his Lordship to the dates of the in
sertion of the bills in the account, which were
both within the period Of their connexion.
His Lordship, after few observations on
the merits OF the petition, advised reference,
which was agreed to.
